dc.description.abstract | Two sites in the photosynthetic electron transport chain of spinach chloroplasts are sensitive to inhibition by the plastoquinone antagonist dibromothymoquinone (2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone). This compound imposes maximal inhibition on reactions involving electron transport from water to a terminal acceptor such as ferricyanide at concentrations of about 1 [mu]. At concentrations of about 10 [mu], dibromothymoquinone also inhibits electron transport reactions catalyzed by photosystem II in the presence of p-phenylenediimines or p-benzoquinones. This inhibition is observed in both untreated and KCN/Hg-inhibited chloroplast preparations. Thiol incubation of chloroplasts exposed to dibromothymoquinone relieves inhibition at both sites. This reversal of inhibition is, however, different for the two sites. Restoration of ferricyanide reduction, which is blocked by 1 [mu] dibromothymoquinone, required high thiol/inhibitor ratios and incubation times with thiol of up to 3 min. The reversal of inhibition of p-phenylenediimine reduction by photosystem II, on the other hand, requires a thiol/inhibitor ratio of 1, and incubation times as short as 5 s. Addition of bovine serum albumin to absorb dibromothymoquinone results in a partial restoration of photosystem II reactions, but ferricyanide reduction, which requires photosystem II and photosystem I, cannot be restored by this procedure. | en_US |
