– Halobacterium halobium , strain ET-15, which does not contain detectable amounts of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) shows behavioral responses to UV and yellow-green light. Attractant stimuli. i.e. light-increases in the yellow-green range or light-decreases in the UV, suppress the spontaneous reversals of the swimming direction for a certain time. Repellent stimuli, i.e. light-decreases in the yellow-green range or light-increases in the UV, elicit an additional reversal response after a few seconds. Action spectra of both sensory photosystems, PS 370 and PS 565, were measured with attractant as well as with repellent stimuli. As in BR-containing cells, maximal sensitivity was always found at 370 nm for the UV-system and at 565 nm for the long-wavelength system. Fluence-response curves at 370 and 565 nm obtained with strain ET-15 and with a BR-containing strain show that the sensitivity of both photosystems is not reduced in the absence of BR. It is concluded that BR is required neither for PS 565 nor for PS 370. Instead retinal-containing pigments different from BR have to be assumed to mediate photosensory behavior. 相似文献

Quantum yields of photophosphorylation in Halobacterium halobium were determined for ultraviolet spectral bands between 276 and 365 nm, and at 565 nm wavelength, based on integral spectral cell absorptance, bacteriorhodopsin-specific cell absorptance and the corresponding quantum dose rates. In the ultraviolet, there is an almost linear decline of the quantum yields of photophosphorylation from 365 to 276 nm wavelength, despite the peak absorption of bacteriorhodopsin at 280 nm. The cycling quantum yield for 276 nm excitation of bacteriorhodopsin was determined as 4.5 ± 1.8%, which is about one fourth of the value of 19% for solubilized bacteriorhodopsin. Threshold energy fluence rates of 20 W m?2 for UV-B radiation typify the photophosphorylation as three orders less sensitive than the sensory UV-B avoidance response that needs 0.02 W m?2 as the threshold. Thus, UV-B avoidance appears as the dominating strategy for survival of the archaic bacterium H. halobium, rather than possible photoenergetic use of UV-B radiation and photorepair of UV-damage. 相似文献

Abstract— The sensory photosystems PS 370 and PS 565 of Halobacierium halobium are actively degraded in the early growth phase and later resynthesized. Neither degradation nor resynthesis is correlated to the rate of cell division. The reappearance of photosensory activity requires de novo synthesis of proteins which are most likely directly involved in the sensory pathway. PS 370 appears earlier than PS 565 and thus may be studied independently of PS 565, before the latter is synthesized, or by blocking the synthesis of PS 565 with puromycin after PS 370 has appeared. The action spectrum of PS 370 alone shows the same maximum as the spectrum obtained when PS 565 is present. Carotenoids, which act as accessory pigments of PS 370, do not shift its activity peak. Also the maximum of PS 565 is not influenced by PS 370. We conclude that the maxima of the action spectra of PS 370 and PS 56.5 truely reflect the absorption maxima of the sensory retinal pigmentsP–370 andP–565. 相似文献

Quantitative action spectroscopy was performed in Halobacterium halobium. using four suited pigment mutants, namely the bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin positive mutant strain M-l (BR+, HR+), the bacteriorhodopsin positive but halorhodopsin negative strain M-18 (BR+, HR-), the bacteriorhodopsin negative but halorhodopsin positive strain L-33 (BR-, HR+), and the bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin negative strain L-07 (BR-, HR+). The approached questions were: First, photoenergetic synergism of halorhodopsin and bacteriorhodopsin in intact cells; second, photochromism and cellular function of the blue light-absorbing intermediates, i.e. M-412 and HR-410 in bacteriorhodopsin and in halorhodopsin, respectively. Dark-adapted cells of mutant strain M-l show wavelength-dependency of quantum yield of photo-phosphorylation, φATP. An 1.4-fold enhancement was found at 575 nm wavelength where the long wavelength absorbance bands of bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin intersect. The enhancement vanished after a 30 min pulse of orange light (600 Wm-2 bandpass from 495 to 750 nm), but was restored after a 30 min pulse of blue light (100 Wm-2 bandpass from 325 to 480 nm). Photoreversibility of this enhancement probably reflects phototransformation of halorhodopsin from its ground state into its inactive intermediate, HR-410, and vice versa. The halorhodopsin-mediated enhancement with maximum quantum yield of photophosphorylation, φATP= 0.06, i.e. a quantum requirement of = 17 photons/ATP, is partly substituted by a rise in phosphate potential and explained in terms of a voltage-regulated gating effect on the H+-driven ATP-synthase, superimposed on the chemiosmotic mechanism of energy coupling. The blue-absorbing photochromic intermediate, M-412 of bacteriorhodopsin, dissipates light energy upon photoexcitation that is reflected by a spectral decline in quantum yield of photophosphorylation to a minimum value of = 0.01 at 415 nm, i.e. a quantum requirement of = 100 photons/ATP. 相似文献

Abstract— In Halobacrerium hnlobium. retinal is the chromophore of the light-energy converting pigments bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and halorhodopsin (HR) and of the sensory photosystems. PS 370 and PS 565. In both photosystems as well as in BR and HR. retinal was substituted by retinal analogues. Retinal2 ( 3,4-dehydro-retinal ) . shifts the main sensitivity maximum of PS 370 and of PS 565 by about 1.5 nm to longer wavelengths. The absorption maxima of BR and HR are both shifted in the same direction, but by 37 nm. 13-Ethylretinal and 13-propylretirnal shift the main sensitivity maximum of each sensory photosystem to shorter wavclengths; the absorption maxima of BR and HR are shifted in the same direction but to a smaller extent. Both sensory photosystems are equally active with retinal and with each of the three analogues as the chromophore. After substitution of retinal by the analogues, the action spectra of PS 565 of the BR-containing strain R1 L3 show a secondary bensitivity peak in addition to the main peak. This secondary peak matches the absorption maximum of the corresponding BR. In the action spectra of the BR-deficient strainET–15 this secondary peak is missing. Action spectra of PS 565 of the BR-deficient strainL–33, which synthesizes increased amounts of HR. with all retinals show a secondary peak which matches the absorption maximum of the corresponding HR.
The results show that the analogues can substitute retinal in both sensory pigments as well as in BR and HR. Moreover, the data support the previous assumption that both BRand HR, although not required for photosensory activity can contribute to photosensing through PS 565. 相似文献

Abstract— Trichoderma harzianum normally requires light for conidiation. Conidiation of colonies grown in continuous light does not appear to be rhythmic, but sharp banding patterns are formed under light/dark cycles. A single pulse of blue light produces a sharp band of conidia that forms where the growing edge of the mycelia is located at the time when the light is given. A period of about 24 h is required following the light pulse to produce mature conidia. During this time colonies are insensitive to further induction by light. The fluence required to produce 50% saturation varies by a factor of about 3 depending on when the pulse is given. This change of sensitivity is rhythmic with a period length of approximately 27 h when grown on medium containing deoxycholate.
The pattern of conidiation in a mutant strain (B119), which is able to form conidia in the dark, is rhythmic and the period length is dependent on the composition of the medium. Addition of deoxycholate to the medium increased the interval between dark bands from 12 to 24 h. The rhythmic banding is suppressed in constant light and a double banding pattern is produced in light/dark cycles. A pulse of blue light induces a band of conidia in this mutant, as in the wild type, but it also delays the reappearance of the dark banding pattern. The extent of this delay depends on when the pulse is given and, although the period length of the dark conidiation rhythm is affected by deoxycholate, the effect of blue light on its phase is not. Of the various rhythmic responses of Trichoderma studied here. the delay in reappearance of the dark banding pattern in B119 is the most promising for further detailed studies, for example of wavelength and temperature dependence. 相似文献

Abstract— Peak responsivity of photoattraction in Halobacterium halobium cells shows steady hypsochromic shift from 590 nm wavelength under low irradiance conditions to 560 nm under high irradiance conditions. Inversion of the photoattractant response, as dependent on blue vs red background light, is compatible with the known properties of photochromic sensory rhodopsin-I (SR-I) with ground state maximum absorption at 587 nm. Relaxation of the photoattractant response in H. halobium, as a function of wavelength and irradiance, gives a hint at an antagonistic pigment or intermediate state, different from ground state SR-I, with peak sensitivity at 620 nm or even above. The less sensitive photoattractant response at 560 nm persists without photorelaxation and represents the peak responsivity under high irradiance conditions. 相似文献

We have transformed Pho81, a Halobacterium halobium mutant strain which does not contain any of the four retinylidene proteins known in this species, with the bop gene cluster to create Pho81BR, a BR+HR-SR-I-SR-II-strain. The absorption spectrum, pigment reconstitution process, light-dark adaptation and photochemical reaction cycle of the expressed protein are indistinguishable from those of native bacteriorhodopsin (BR) in purple membrane of wild type strains. Strain Pho81BR permits for the first time characterization of effects of BR photoactivation alone on cell swimming behavior and energetics in the absence of the spectrally similar phototaxis receptor sensory rhodopsin I (SR-I) and electrogenic chloride pump halorhodopsin (HR). A non-adaptive upward shift in spontaneous swimming reversal frequency occurs following 3 s of continuous illumination of Pho81BR cells with green light (550 +/- 20 nm). This effect is abolished by low concentrations of the proton ionophore carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. Although BR does not mediate phototaxis responses in energized Pho81BR cells under our culture conditions, proton pumping by BR in Pho81BR cells partially deenergized by inhibitors of respiration and adenosine triphosphate synthesis results in a small attractant response. Based on our measurements, we attribute the observed effects of BR photoactivation on swimming behavior to secondary consequences of electrogenic proton pumping on metabolic or signal transduction pathways, rather than to primary sensory signaling such as that mediated by SR-I. Proton extrusion by BR activates gated proton influx ports resulting in net proton uptake in wild-type cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Abstract– Action spectra of the light-dependent behavior of Halobacterium and the effect of background light have been measured with regard to the current hypothesis of Spudich and Bogomolni [Nature 312 ,509–513 (1984)], which proposes sensory rhodopsin I (sRI587) to be the receptor for long-wavelength light, and its photoproduct S373 to be the receptor for UV light. The action spectrum shows three maxima for attractant responses (prolonged swimming intervals) at 565, 590, and 610 nm, and two maxima for repellent responses (shortened intervals) at 370 and 480 nm. The latter is assigned to sensory rhodopsin II (P-480). All peaks are red-shifted after substitution of the endogeneous retinal by 3, 4-dehydroretinal. The peaks at 590 and 610 nm are suppressed by long-wavelength background light. Ultraviolet background light converts all attractant peaks into repellent peaks. The response at 370 nm is strongly activated by visible background light, the maximal effect occurring with 510 nm. The activated state declines with a half-life of about 1.2 s. In a growing culture, full sensitivity to UV and blue light is restored about 10 h earlier than sensitivity to long-wavelength light. Some of the results cannot easily be explained by the sRI587/S373 hypothesis. Explanations for the three maxima in the long-wavelength range and for the maximal activation of the UV response by 510 nm light are discussed. 相似文献

RESONANCE RAMAN SPECTRA OF THE "BLUE" and THE REGENERATED "PURPLE" MEMBRANES OF Halobacterium halobium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Abstract— We have obtained the resonance Raman spectra of the deionized form of the purple membrane, the so called blue membrane, as well as the purple membrane regenerated by titrating the blue membrane with either Na+, Ca2 + or La3 +. All types of regenerated purple membrane have identical Raman spectra which are virtually indistinguishable from the native light-adapted bacteriorhodopsin spectrum. On the other hand, Raman data for the blue membrane suggest that it consists of essentially two pigment forms with absorption maxima around 605 and 570 nm and containing 13-cis and all-trans isomeric configurations of the chromophore. This is consistent with our chromophore extraction results which reveal that the blue membrane consists of 30% 13-cir and 70% all-trans chromophore. 相似文献

Abstract The photobranching process from the O640 intermediate (O) in the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin was studied. The O form accumulated with continuous wave visible light (390–800 nm) irradiation of the acidic (pH 3.9–6.0) purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium at 22°C. The photocycle of O via an L-like (or N-like) intermediate was driven by 630 nm pulsed light. The newly found intermediate has an absorption band in the 450–560 nm region. The "green-light"-absorbing pigment, tentatively called G520 , was converted to O with a time constant of (1.2 ± 0.2) ms. No M-like species was found in the cycle. The quantum yield of the cycle was estimated to be 0.30 ± 0.15. 相似文献

Phoborhodopsin (also called sensory rhodopsin II) is a photoreceptor protein which mediates photophobic responses of Halobacterium halobium to blue-green light. Under conditions where the synthesis of the chromophore retinal is inhibited, the photophobic system is reconstituted in vivo by incorporation of all-trans retinal or retinal analogs into the apoprotein of phoborhodopsin. Retinal analogs which retard the cyclic photoreaction kinetics of phoborhodopsin increase significantly the sensitivity of the photophobic response. This supports the previously reported hypothesis that signal amplification occurs during the lifetime of intermediate states of the photocycle. The sensitivity increase caused by the chromophore substitution is observed in cells at several different growth stages, i.e. the naturally occurring chromophore (all-trans retinal) does not produce maximal sensitivity at any stage of the culture growth. These results are difficult to interpret in terms of the proposal by Marwan et al. (J. Mol. Biol. 199, 663-664, 1988) that only a single photon is sufficient to cause the photobehavioral response in cells containing native phoborhodopsin. A new interpretation for the fluence-response curves is described based in part on their Poisson statistical analysis. Further, a kinetic model which relates the receptor photochemical reaction cycle to the behavioral response is developed, which accounts for both the sensitivity increase and the shape of the fluence-response curves. 相似文献

The organization of pigment-protein complexes into large chiral macrodomains was investigated in wild-type and chlorophyll b-less mutant thylakoid membranes of barley. The variations in the anomalous circular dichroism bands and in the angular-dependence of circular intensity differential scattering showed that in wild-type chloroplasts, the formation of macrodomains was governed by interactions of the light-harvesting chlorophyll alb complexes (LHCII). Two external factors could be identified which regulate the parameters of the anomalous circular dichroism signal: (i) electrostatic screening by divalent cations under conditions that favor membrane stacking and (ii) the osmotic pressure of the medium, which is suggested to affect the lateral interactions between complexes and influence the packing-density of particles. These two factors governed preferentially the negative and the positive anomalous circular dichroism signals, respectively. In the chlorina f-2 mutant thylakoid membranes, deficient in most chlorophyll b binding proteins, the formation of macrodomains which gave rise to the anomalous circular dichroism signals was still regulated by these same external factors. However, in the absence of major LHCII polypeptides the formation of macrodomains was apparently mediated by other complexes having weaker interaction capabilities. As a consequence, the size of the macrodomains under comparable conditions appeared smaller in the mutant than in the wild-type thylakoid membranes. Circular dichroism is a valuable probe for examining the long-range interactions between pigment-protein complexes which participate in the formation and stabilization of membrane ultrastruc-ture. A functional role of macrodomains in long-range energy migration processes is proposed. 相似文献

The UV-mediated induction of anthocyanin and UV-absorbing compounds was characterized in etiolated hypocotyls of wild-type and aurea (au) mutant tomato seedlings. Ultraviolet radiation induced significant increases of anthocyanin and UV-absorbing compounds in hypocotyls of die au mutant and of its isogenic wild-type, but the differences in the time courses of UV-induced pigment accumulation indicate mat different photoregulatory mechanisms are involved for each of these two groups of pigments. It appears mat prolonged presence of adequate levels of UVB (290–320nm) energy and consequently the action of a specific UVB photoreceptor are indispensable for the photoinduction of anthocyanin accumulation in UV-irradiated hypocotyl of the au mutant that is missing the labile phytochrome pool. The large difference found between the wild-type and the au mutant strongly indicate the involvement of labile phytochrome as the primary functional photoreceptor for the photoinduction of anthocyanin accumulation in wild-type tomato hypocotyls. The UVB photoreceptor could at least partly replace the action of labile phytochrome (as far as anthocyanin accumulation is concerned) when the functional phytochrome pool is missing as in the au mutant. The general picture of UV-mediated induction of total UV-absorbing compounds shows only a macroscopic difference between wild-type and die au mutant of tomato: the higher initial level (in darkness) of these compounds in die wild-type in contrast to the au mutant. Although there is UV-induced accumulation of UV-absorbing compounds in bom genotypes, the levels in the au mutant never reach mat of the wild-type under the same UV exposure. A UVB photosensor may play a more important role in the photoinduction of UV-absorbing compounds. Indeed, in the absence of labile phytochrome, i.e. in the au mutant, a UVB-absorbing photoreceptor alone is able to establish high responsiveness for the UV-induced flavonoid accumulation. 相似文献

Abstract— A mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (NL–11) isolated from a wild type (137c+) was inactivated in the light in the presence of methionine at concentrations where the wild type was not inactivated. The inactivation was suppressed by either catalase or superoxide dismutase (SOD). Light-induced H2 O2 formation and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction inNL–11 were greater than those in the wild type. Methionine stimulated both the H2 O2 formation and the NBT reduction inNL–11 as well as the wild type. The light-induced NBT reduction inNL–11 in the presence of methionine was partially suppressed by externally added SOD suggesting the participation of O- 2 . These results suggest that the hypersensitivity ofNL–11 to methionine in the light is due to stimulated formation of H2 O2 and O- 2 . 相似文献
