Photoreduction o] Pyridinnucleotide by Chromatophores o]
Rhodopseudomonas capsulata by Molecular Hydrogen Summary. 1. Chromatophores from the facultative phototroph, .Rlvfls. caTsulata catalyze light-dependent NAD-reduetion and cyclic photophosphorylation.
-
Suitable electron donors for NAD-photoreduction are succinate, reduced DCPIP, and molecular hydrogen.
-
Chromatophores from photoautotrophically grown ceils catalyze NADphotoreduction with a remarkable higher rate (15--50 ~moles NADH/mg BChi • h) than chromatophores from photoheterotrophically grown cells (0--8 fzmo]es DADH/ mg BChl • h).
-
The photoreduetive reaction is specific for NAD. DADP will be reduced only in the presence of small amounts (0.1 ftmoles/5 ml) of HAD.
-
pH-optimum of DAD-photoreduction is pH 8, regardless of which electron donor is used (H a or succinate).
-
DAD-photorcduction is inhibited by antimycin A, amytal, and o-phenanthroline. By using o-phenanthi'oline as inhibitor a significant difference between inhibition of Ha-dependent and succinate-dependent reaction can be observed.
Zusammen/assung. 1. Chromatophoren aus dem fakultativ phototrophen Rhodopseudomonas capsulata katalysieren eine lichtabh~ngige DAD-Reduktion mit verschiedenen Elektronen-Donatoren und eine cyclische Photophosphorylierung.
- Geeignete Elektronen-Donatoren ffir die DAD-Photoreduktion sind Succinat, reduziertes DCPIP und molekularer Wasserstoff. 3. Chromatophoren aus photoautotroph gewachsenen Zellen katalysieren die NAD-Photoreduktion mit bedeutend hSherer Rate (15--50 ~mole NADH/mg BCh] • Std) als Chromatophoren aus photoheterotroph gewachsenen Zellen (0--8 fzmole DADH/mg BChl • Std). 4. Die Photoreduktion ist spezifisch ffir DAD. NADP wird erst in Anwescnheit katalytischer Mengen DAD (0,1 tzmole/5 ml) reduziert. * I-Ierrn Prof. Dr. C. B. vA~ Nk]sL zum 70. Geburtstage gewidmet.
