Remennikov VG, Samuilov VD: [Light-induced oxygen uptake by chromatophores and subchromatophore pigment-protein complexes of Rhodospirillum rubrum]. Biokhimiia. 1977 Nov;42(11):1997-2004.
Chromatophores of R. rubrum incubated with electron donors, e. g. reduced diaminodurene, TMPD, phenazine methosulphate, cytochrome c or ferrocyanide, are able to catalyze O2 uptake upon illumination. This process is inhibited by o-phenanthroline as well as upon extraction of quinones from chromatophores, but not by antimycin A, rotenone or CN-. The O2 uptake sensitive to the action of o-phenanthroline is also observed in the illuminated subchromatophore P870 reaction center complexes and reaction center plus light-harvesting antenna complexes incubated with electron donors, quinones and detergents. The data obtained are in agreement with a suggestion that the photooxidase activity of chromatophores and subchromatophore pigment-protein complexes is due to the interaction of photoreduced ubiquinone with O2. |
