Purification and properties of an oxygen-evolving reaction center complex from photosystem II membranes : A simple procedure utilizing a non-ionic detergent and elevated ionic strength
(Elsevier, 1986-03-03)
A method is reported for the isolation of a highly resolved oxygen-evolving photosystem II reaction center preparation. This preparation can be separated from the more complex photosystem II membranes isolated by the ...
Visual detection by the rod system in goldfish of different sizes
(Elsevier, 1988)
New rods are continually generated and inserted across the entire differentiated retina in juvenile and adult goldfish; no other retinal cells share this characteristic. How does the preferential addition of rods affect ...
Early events of Bacillus anthracis germination identified by time-course quantitative proteomics
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2006-10)
Germination of Bacillus anthracis spores involves rehydration of the spore interior and rapid degradation of several of the protective layers, including the spore coat. Here, we examine the temporal changes that occur ...
Sequence of the fourth and fifth Photosystem II Type I chlorophyll a/b -binding protein genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and evidence for the presence of a full complement of the extended CAB gene family
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-08)
A second locus ( Lhb1B ) encoding Photosystem II Type I chlorophyll a/b -binding (CAB) polypeptides was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana . This locus carries two genes in an inverted orientation. The predicted sequences ...
The mechanism of amine inhibition of the photosynthetic oxygen evolving complex : Amines displace functional chloride from a ligand site on manganese
(Elsevier, 1983-10-17)
Amines inhibit photosynthetic oxygen evolution by binding to manganese in the oxygen evolving complex. This inhibition is more effective if chloride is absent. Steady-state kinetic analyses show that ammonia and chloride ...
Monovalent cations (Na+, K+, Cs+) inhibit calcium activation of photosynthetic oxygen evolution
(Elsevier, 1989-02-13)
In the absence of the 17 and 23 kDa water-soluble polypeptides, the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II requires addition of Cl- and Ca2+ to maximize rates of oxygen evolution activity. We have found that monovalent ...
Photosystem II -- Mediated cyclic photophosphorylation
(Elsevier, 1976-02-09)
DCMU-sensitive synthesis of ATP can be shown to continue in KCN-treated chloroplasts after cessation of O2 evolution. The catalyst for this reaction, -phenylenediamine, also stimulates synthesis of ATP in NH2OH-treated ...
The surprising complexity of peroxisome biogenesis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-09)
Peroxisomes are small organelles with a single boundary membrane. All of their matrix proteins are nuclear-encoded, synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytosol, and post-translationally transported into the organelle. ...
Generation of Phenylpropanoid Pathway-Derived Volatiles in Transgenic Plants: Rose Alcohol Acetyltransferase Produces Phenylethyl Acetate and Benzyl Acetate in Petunia Flowers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2006-03)
Esters are important contributors to the aroma of numerous flowers and fruits. Acetate esters such as geranyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate and benzyl acetate are generated as a result of the action of alcohol acetyltransferases ...
A Myosin from a Higher Plant has Structural Similarities to Class V Myosins
(Elsevier, 1994-06-16)
In plant cells, myosin is believed to be the molecular motor responsible for actin-based motility processes such as cytoplasmic streaming and directed vesicle transport. In an effort to characterize plant myosin, a cDNA ...
