Perturbation of photosynthesis in spinach leaf discs by low concentrations of methyl viologen
Tóm tắt
Spinach leaf discs were floated on methyl-viologen solutions (5–200 nmol·l-1) and the effect on photosynthetic metabolism was then investigated under conditions of saturating CO2. Methyl viologen led to increased non-photochemical quenching, and the ATP/ADP ratio increased from <2 to >10. Comparison of the apparent quantum yield and non-photochemical quenching indicated that these concentrations of methyl viologen were only catalysing a marginal electron flux, and that the decrease in quantum yield was mainly the result of ΔpH-triggered energy dissipation. Similar changes were also obtained after supplying tentoxin to inhibit the chloroplast ATP synthase and increase the energisation of the thylakoids. The photosystem-II acceptor, QA, was monitored by photochemical fluorescence quenching, and became more reduced. In contrast, the activation of NADP-malate dehydrogenase decreased, showing that the acceptor side of photosystem I becomes more oxidised. Similar changes were observed after supplying tentoxin. It is concluded that increased thylakoid energisation can lead to a substantial restriction of linear electron transport. Analysis of metabolite levels showed that glycerate-3-phosphate reduction was imporved, but that there was a large accumulation of triose phosphates and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This is the consequence of an inhibition of the regeneration of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, caused by inactivation of the stromal fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and, to a lesser extent, phosphoribulokinase. Methyl viologen also led to inactivation of sucrose-phosphate synthase, and abolished the response of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to rising rates of photosynthesis. This provides evidence for a primary role of glycerate-3-phosphate in controlling the activity of fructose-6-phosphate, 2-kinase and, thence, the fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration as the rate of photosynthesis increases. It is concluded that the very moderate ATP/ADP ratios found in chloroplasts are the results of constraints on the operation of ATP synthase. They can be increased if the thylakoid energisation is increased. However, the increased energisation acts directly or indirectly to disrupt many other aspects of photosynthetic metabolism including linear electron transport, activation of the Calvin cycle, and the control of sucrose and starch synthesis.
