α,7β-Dihydroxyvouacapan-17β-oic acid (1) was isolated from Pterodon polygalaeflorus Benth. Then, (1) was modified to obtain 6α-hydroxyvouacapan-7β,17β-lactone (2). Inhibition properties of both (1) and (2) were evaluated in spinach chloroplasts. Only compound (2) inhibited non-cyclic electron transport and ATP synthesis, i.e., (2) behaved as a Hill reaction inhibitor. Compound (2) did not affect photosystem I (PSI) activity but it did inhibit electron flow through PSII. Analysis of the partial PSII reactions from water to DCPIPox, water to silicomolybdate, and diphenylcarbazide to DCPIPox allowed locating inhibition sites at (i) the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) and (ii) the redox enzymes of the electron transport chain, in the span of P680 to QA. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements confirmed the action site for (2).  相似文献

The effect of trachyloban-19-oic acid isolated from Iostephane heterophylla (Asteraceae), was investigated on several photosynthetic activities in spinach thylakoids. The results indicated that this compound inhibited ATP synthesis and uncoupled electron transport, as well as basal and phosphorylating electron flow. Therefore, trachyloban-19-oic acid acts as Hill reaction inhibitor. This compound did not affect photosystem I activity but inhibited uncoupled photosystem II electron flow from H2O to DCPIP, and has not effect on electron flow from H2O to SiMo, indicating that the site of inhibition of this compound is at the level of QA-QB. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements confirm the behavior of this diterpene as QA-QB inhibitor, and in the other hand, this results indicate that a perturbation in the thylakoid membranes at the level of LHC II occurs.  相似文献

The electron transport inhibition, uncoupling, and binding of ioxynil and bromoxynil salts is compared in chloroplast fragments isolated from two weed species with contrasting responses to the hydroxybenzonitriles. Ioxynil Na was three to four times more inhibitory than bromoxynil K towards DCPIP and SiMo reduction in both Matricaria inodora and Viola arvensis. Ioxynil Na was also a more potent uncoupler of PSI-dependent electron transport from ascorbate/DCPIP to methyl viologen. Uncoupling occurred at concentrations higher than those that inhibited electron transport. Binding studies with [14C]bromoxynil K and [14C]ioxynil Na salts revealed slightly biphasic curves with no significant difference in the amounts of the two herbicides bound at a given concentration. The ratios of inhibition constant (Ki) and binding constant (Kb) were approximately one for ioxynil Na and three for bromoxynil K. Radiolabelled herbicide displacement studies revealed that ioxynil Na could partially displace bound [14C]bromoxynil K, but bromoxynil K could not displace bound ioxynil Na at biochemically active concentrations. Ioxynil Na may be a more effective inhibitor than bromoxynil K because it binds more strongly to the thylakoid membrane.  相似文献

Effects of insecticide acetamiprid on photosystem II (PSII) activity of Synechocystis sp. were investigated by a variety of in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence tests. Acetamiprid exposure increased the proportion of inactivated PSII reactive centers (PSIIX) and led to loss of active centers (PSIIA). High concentration (1.0 mM) acetamiprid decreased amplitude of the fast phase and increased the slow phase of fluorescence decay during reoxidation. The electron transport after QA was hindered by high concentration acetamiprid and more QA had to be reoxidized through S2(QAQB)− charge recombination. Acetamiprid decreased the density of the active reaction centers, electron transport flux per cross section and the performance of PSII activity but had little effect on dissipated energy flux per reaction center, antenna size and the maximum quantum yield for primary photochemistry (Fv/Fm). The target site of acetamiprid toxicity to the PSII of Synechocystis sp. was electron transfer on the acceptor side.  相似文献

UV-B (0.4 W m−2) irradiation and dimethoate (100 and 200 ppm) treatments, singly and in combination, declined the growth, photosynthetic pigment contents and photosynthesis (O2 evolution and CO2-fixation) of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). Contrary to this, low concentration of dimethoate (50 ppm) caused stimulation on these parameters, while together with UV-B it showed inhibitory effects. Carotenoids (Car) showed varied responses. It was found that carbon-fixation (14CO2) was more sensitive to both the stresses than photosynthetic oxygen evolution. Photosynthetic electron transport activity was reduced by both the stresses, however, 50 ppm dimethoate besides inhibiting photosystem II (PSII) and whole chain activity, showed slight stimulation in photosystem I (PSI) activity. The individual effect of two stresses on PSII activity was probably due to interruption of electron flow at oxidation side of PSII which extended to its reaction center following simultaneous exposure. A similar trend was also noticed in case of CO2 liberation (measured as 14CO2 release) in light and dark. Results suggest that dimethoate (100 and 200 ppm) and UV-B alone caused heavy damage on pigments and photosynthetic activity of cowpea, leading to the significant inhibition in growth. Further, the interactive effects of both the stresses got intensified. However, low concentration (50 ppm) of dimethoate showed stimulation, but in combination, it slightly recovered from the damaging effect, caused by UV-B.  相似文献

Dinoterb, a contact herbicide, affects respiration and photosynthesis of mitochondria and chloroplasts. On mitochondria, at low concentrations, it acts as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation; at higher concentrations, it inhibits the electron transport chains, probably before cytochrome c. On chloroplasts, dinoterb has a stimulatory effect on oxygen uptake in the reduced dichlorophenol-indophenol→methyl viologen couple; however, it is also an inhibitor of the Hill reaction and its site of inhibition is located before plastoquinone, near photosystem II.  相似文献

Perfluidone (1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[2-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl]methanesulfonamide) was shown to interfere with phosphorylation and electron transport in isolated mung bean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) mitochondria. At low molar concentrations (<100 μM), perfluidone acted as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation as evidenced by stimulation of state 4 respiration, induction of ATPase activity, and circumvention of oligomycin-inhibited state 3 respiration. At higher molar concentrations (>100 μM), perfluidone inhibited electron transport by acting on complexes I and II, and on the alternate (cyanide-insensitive) oxidase. In isolated spinach thylakoids (Spinacia oleracea L.), perfluidone also acted as an uncoupler, at low concentrations, as evidenced by stimulation of photoinduced electron transport with water as the reductant and methyl viologen and ferricyanide as oxidants, and from reduced dichlorophenolindophenol to methyl viologen. In addition, perfluidone inhibited the rate and magnitude of valinomycin-induced mitochondrial swelling in isotonic potassium chloride and potassium thiocyanate, and with thylakoids suspended in potassium thiocyanate at concentrations that inhibited ATP generation (<100 μM). Passive swelling in mitochondria was induced at higher concentrations. The permeability of lecithin liposomes to protons was also increased by perfluidone in a manner characteristic of uncouplers. The results obtained suggested that the partitioning of perfluidone perturbs the inner mitochondrial and thylakoid membranes. The perturbations increase the permeability of the membranes to protons and cations (at least potassium) and decrease membrane “fluidity.” As a consequence of the perturbations, the ATP-generating pathway in both mitochondria and chloroplasts is uncoupled and the structural organization of the electron transport components in mitochondria is disrupted, resulting in multisite inhibition of respiration. No evidence was obtained for a direct interaction between perfluidone and redox components of the electron transport pathways.  相似文献

The effect of pre-emergently applied herbicide clomazone on the photosynthetic apparatus of primary barley leaves (Hordeum vulgare L.) was studied. Clomazone application caused a reduction in chlorophyll (a+b) and carotenoid levels that was accompanied by a decline in the content of light harvesting complexes as judged from the increasing chlorophyll a/b ratio. The pigment reduction also resulted in changes in 77 K chlorophyll fluorescence emission spectra indicating lower chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence reabsorption and absence of the long-wavelength emission forms of photosystem I. The maximal photochemical yield of photosystem II (PSII) and the reoxidation kinetics of the primary quinone acceptor QA− were not significantly influenced by clomazone. A higher initial slope of Chl fluorescence rise in the Chl fluorescence induction kinetic indicated an increased delivery of excitations to PSII. Simultaneously, analysis of the Chl fluorescence quenching revealed that clomazone reduced function of the electron transport chain behind PSII. The decrease in the saturation rates of CO2 assimilation paralleled the decrease of the Chl content and has been suggested to be caused by a suppressed number of the electron transport chains in the thylakoid membranes or by their decreased functionality. The obtained results are discussed in view of physiological similarity of the clomazone effect with changes of photosynthetic apparatus during photoadaptation.  相似文献

6α,7β-Dihydroxyvouacapan-17β-oic acid (1) and methyl 6α,7β-dihydroxyvouacapan-17β-oate (8) were isolated from Pterodon polygalaeflorus Benth. 1 was modified to obtain 6α-hydroxyvouacapan-7-β,17β lactone (2). Then, 6-oxovouacapan-7β,17β lactone (3) was obtained from 2. The furanoditerpene ester derivatives: propyl 7β-hydroxy-6-oxovouacapan-17β-oate (4), butyl 7β-hydroxy-6-oxovouacapan-17β-oate (5), 2-methoxyethyl 7β-hydroxy-6-oxovouacapan-17β-oate (6) and 3-methylbut-2-enyl 7β-hydroxy-6-oxovouacapan-17β-oate (7) were synthesized from (3) and methyl 6α,7β-thiocarbonyldioxyvouacapan-17β-oate (9) was obtained from (8). In this work, the lactone ester derivatives 4-7 and 9 were tested on photosynthetic activities in an attempt to search for new compounds as potential herbicide agents that affect photosynthesis. All compounds inhibited ATP synthesis and electron flow from water to MV, therefore, they act as Hill reaction inhibitors, being 4- to 9-fold more potent than 2 and 3 as inhibitors of ATP synthesis. Their interaction site was located at PSII in a similar way to diuron. Furthermore, furanoditerpene esters 6 and 7 act as uncouplers, and were corroborated by enhancement of the light-activated Mg2+-ATPase, while 5 act as an energy transfer inhibitor. Finally 5-7 behave as herbicides, since they inhibit the biomass production of weeds assay.  相似文献

The pea (Pisum sativum L.) and the CW 15 (cell wall-less) strain of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardi Dangeard were used to investigate the modes of action of two n-alkylguanidines and several triorganotin salts on reactions associated with photosynthetic energy conservation. The two n-alkylguanidines, n-octylguanidine and n-dodecylguanidine, affected state 3 (ADP stimulated) noncyclic electron transport of pea chloroplasts in a concentration-dependent manner, viz, energy transfer inhibition at low concentrations, uncoupling of electron transport from photophosphorylation at intermediate concentrations, and direct inhibition of electron transport at relatively high concentrations. The Ca2+-dependent ATPase (EC 3.6.1.5) activity of C. reinhardi chloroplast fragments was inhibited by both n-alkylguanidines over concentration ranges similar to those required to affect state 3 electron transport in pea chloroplasts. Dodecylguanidine required lower concentrations than octylguanidine to produce similar effects in both assays. The triorganotins produced uncoupler-reversible inhibition of the state 3 electron transport of pea chloroplasts in a sucrose medium and uncoupled the electron transport in a medium containing high chloride concentrations, as shown by their stimulation of both the light-induced transmission changes and the decay of the light-induced pH gradients of chloroplast suspensions. The inhibition of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity of C. reinhardi by most of the triorganotins was correlated to their inhibition of the growth of the alga on agar medium under different trophic conditions. The efficacies of the tri-n-alkyltins in all the assays used generally increased along the homologous series.  相似文献

Six nostoclide analogues were synthesised from 3-benzyl-2(5H)-furanone in one step, with yields ranging from 10 to 71%, and subjected to several biological assays. The two most active of these, 5d and 5e, were shown to be phytogrowth inhibitors of the radicle of Lolium multiflorum Lam, while enhancing the root growth of Physalis ixocarpa Brot. Both compounds inhibited electron flow (basal, phosphorylating and uncoupled) from water to methylviologen (MV); both acted as Hill reaction inhibitors, since the synthesis of ATP was prevented. The uncoupled electron transport from photosystem II (PSII) (water to 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (DPIP)) and photosystem I (PSI) (2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol reduced (DPIPred) to MV) was inhibited with 500 microM of 5d by 22 and 14% respectively. In addition, 400 microM of 5d inhibited PSI (from tetramethyl-p-benzohydroquinone (TMQH(2)) to MV) by 40%. Thus 5d inhibited electron transport at the b(6)f complex. Finally, 500 microM of 5e inhibited electron flow (basal and phosphorylating) by 25%, and 300 microM of 5e enhanced light-activated membrane-bound Mg(2+)-ATPase by 66%. Thus 5e behaved as a weak Hill reaction inhibitor and an uncoupler. In general, the phytotoxicity of the synthetic lactones was only weakly related to inhibition of photosynthesis.  相似文献

The effects of phosphine on electron transport and on some partial reactions of oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria from mouse liver, housefly flight muscles and granary weevils has been studied. Phosphine was a strong inhibitor of respiration of mitochondria in the “active” state (state 3), uncoupled state, and ion-pumping state on glutamate, pyruvate plus malate, succinate, α-glycerophosphate, and ascorbate-cytochrome c as substrates. Respiration of mitochondria in state 3 was completely inhibited by about 250 μM phosphine. By contrast, the respiration of mitochondria in state 4 was much less sensitive. This inhibition could not be released by uncouplers suggesting that it is due to a direct effect on electron transport. Only site III was inhibited to any significant extent. Kinetic studies show that the inhibition was noncompetitive with Ki ranging from 1.6×10?5 to 7.2×10?5 depending on the source and purity of cytochrome oxidase. The inhibition of site III was also more pronounced in sonicated particles than in intact mitochrondria. The significance of this is discussed in relation to membrane sideness and topology of the components of the respiratory chain.Phosphine was unable to activate the “latent” ATPase nor did it have any inhibition of the Mg2+-simulated ATPase and only high levels (1.1 mM) showed modest inhibition (41%) of uncoupler-stimulated ATPase. Phosphine had no effect on the ATP-Pi exchange and on the ATP-ADP exchange reaction at concentrations causing strong respiratory inhibition.  相似文献

Extracellular ATP (eATP) can function as a signalling molecule to regulate a wide range of cellular processes. This present work investigated the role of eATP in mediating the change of PSII (photosystem II) photochemistry of the tissues of Phaseolus vulgaris leaves infected with Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (Xcp). Infection of the leaves with Xcp caused a significant decrease in the the PSII maximal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry at illumination (Fv′/Fm′), the PSII operating efficiency (ΦPSII), the rate of non‐cyclic electron transport through PSII (ETR), photochemical quenching (qP), and eATP level in the tissues of the infected leaves. At the same time, the levels of non‐photochemical quenching (qN) and the quantum yield of regulated energy dissipation of PSII (Y(NPQ)) were significantly increased. Application of exogenous ATP at 0·2 mm to uninfected leaves had no significant effect on any of the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters being measured. However, in the tissues of infected leaves, the application of exogenous ATP alleviated the decreases of the Fv/Fm, Fv′/Fm′, ΦPSII, ETR, qP and eATP level, and also abolished the increases of qN and Y(NPQ). These results suggest that the change of PSII photochemistry by pathogen infection could be mediated by eATP.  相似文献

Rhyzopertha dominica causes extensive damage to stored wheat grains. α-Amylase, the major insect digestive enzyme, can be an attractive candidate to control the insect damage by inhibiting the enzyme through α-amylase inhibitors. R. dominica α-amylase (RDA) was purified to homogeneity by differential ammonium sulphate fractionation, Sephadex G-25 and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The homogenous α-amylase has a molecular weight of 52 kDa. The pH optima was 7.0 and temperature optima was 40 °C. Activation energy of RDA was 3.9 Kcal mol−1. The enzyme showed high activity with starch, amylose and amylopectin whereas dextrins were the poor substrates. The purified enzyme was identified to be α-amylase on the basis of products formed from starch. The enzyme showed Km of 0.98 mg ml−1 for starch as a substrate. Citric acid, oxalic acid, salicylic acid, HgCl2, tannic acid and α-amylase inhibitors from wheat were inhibitors whereas; Ca2+ and Mg2+ were the activators of RDA. Ki values calculated from Dixon graphs with salicylic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid and wheat α-amylase inhibitors were 6.9, 2.6-8.2, 3.2 mM and 0.013-0.018 μM, respectively. The Lineweaver-Burk plots with different inhibitors showed mixed type inhibition. Wheat α-amylase inhibitor showed mainly competitive inhibition with some non-competitive behaviour and other inhibitors showed mainly non-competitive inhibition with some un-competitive behaviour. Feeding trials with salicylic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid and wheat α-amylase inhibitor showed significant effect of salicylic acid and oxalic acid along with wheat α-amylase inhibitor in controlling the multiplication of R. dominica.  相似文献

[14C]-Labelled methazole, 1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-methylurea (DCPMU), 1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea (DCPU), and diuron were incubated in soil at 20°C and field capacity soil moisture content. Decomposition followed first-order kinetics; half-lives for degradation of these four compounds were 2.4, 144, 30 and 108 days respectively. The amount of DCPMU and DCPU that could be extracted decreased with time and the decrease was accompanied by the generation of an equivalent amount of 14CO2. This was not so in the studies with diuron and methazole, however, and the decrease in the concentrations of radioactivity extracted from soil treated with these compounds could not be entirely accounted for as carbon dioxide. It is concluded that the unextractable radiochemical that was present was DCPMU. Methazole appeared to be degraded through DCPMU to 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) with the production of only traces of DCPU.  相似文献

为了研究滴灌施肥条件下土壤水、氮的运移分布规律，本文通过室内土柱滴灌水氮入渗试验，研究了滴灌结束时及再分布过程中土壤水、氮的运移变化规律；同时用HYDRUS软件建立了土柱滴灌水氮入渗的几何模型，用来模拟滴灌土壤水氮运移过程。对试验及模拟中12个观测点测得的土壤含水率、土壤铵态氮、硝态氮质量浓度进行对比分析，结果表明：土壤含水率模拟值与实测值的相对误差变化在10%以内；土壤铵态氮、硝态氮质量浓度的模拟值与实测值变化范围在20%以内。滴灌结束时土体剖面内土壤含水率随距滴头距离的增大而减小，再分布72 h土层25~30 cm土壤含水率增大到0.2 cm3·cm-3，120 h后土体剖面内土壤含水率较滴灌结束时下降了18%。土壤铵态氮质量浓度主要分布于距滴头20 cm的范围；24 h土壤铵态氮质量浓度最大，且随着时间的推移逐渐减小，到120 h时减少了40%；各观测点24 h至120 h土壤硝态氮质量浓度随着时间的推移逐渐增大，且硝态氮质量浓度在滴头20 cm的范围内由0.442 mg·cm-3增加到1.2 mg·cm-3。各观测点24 h土壤硝态氮质量浓度在空间分布上差异不大，其中观测点1，3，6，8，5的土壤硝态氮质量浓度分别为0.437，0.467，0.451，0.482 mg·cm-3和0.447 mg·cm-3，差值均小于0.05 mg·cm-3；48 h后土体剖面内土壤硝态氮质量浓度空间分布随离滴头距离的增加而减小，垂直方向上从距滴头5 cm的观测点1到距滴头25 cm的观测点8减少了53%。依据研究结果，可用数值模型模拟滴灌施肥条件下土壤水氮运移的变化规律。  相似文献

Exposure of mitochondria isolated from bovine heart to the insecticidal coumarin surangin B results in inhibition of complex II (IC50 = 0.2 μM), III (IC50 = 14.8 μM), and IV (IC50 = 3.1 μM), but in contrast, the NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I) was completely insensitive to this compound at 100 μM. Kinetic analysis of surangin B’s interaction with complex II was then investigated using sub-mitochondrial particles. With succinate as the substrate, surangin B, like carboxin, acted with non-competitive kinetics and clearly contrasted in its action with malonate, a competitive inhibitor of complex II. Likewise, surangin B acted as a non-competitive inhibitor of decylubiquinone-dependent interception of electrons at complex II. Difference spectra of reduced complex III equilibrated with surangin B were found to closely parallel those of antimycin A, but were different in nature to those of the Qo site inhibitors myxothiazol and famoxadone. Investigation of surangin B-dependent functional perturbation of complex III used the synthetic electron acceptor 2-nitrosofluorene, which intercepts electrons specifically from the Qi site. These experiments demonstrated that like antimycin A, surangin B acts as a selective blocker of electron diversion to 2-nitrosofluorene through Qi within complex III. We conclude that surangin B blocks electron transport at several points in bovine heart mitochondria, however, complex I is spared. The potent inhibitory action of surangin B on complex II involves binding to a site which is distinct from both the succinate binding site and the domain responsible for interacting with ubiquinone. Surangin B apparently blocks complex III by interacting with the Qi (antimycin A-binding) pocket.  相似文献

Certain derivatives of the 2-cyanoacrylates are potent inhibitors of photosystem II (PSII) mediated electron flow. These compounds block electron flow by binding to the D1 polypeptide as do many other types of photosystem II herbicides. In this paper we report the action of these species of 2-cyanoacrylates on the photochemical activity of the isolated PSII reaction centre consisting of the D1 and D2 polypeptides but free of other chlorophyll-binding proteins. The three species tested were 2-ethoxyethyl 2-cyano-3-(4-chlorobenzylamino)-3-isopropylacrylate (cyanoacrylate 1), isopropyl 2-cyano-3-(N-methylanilino)acrylate (cyanoacrylate II) and methoxymethyl 2-cyano-3-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-3-mercapto-acrylate sodium salt (cyanoacrylate III). Unlike the case with thylakoid membranes or PSII enriched membranes, cyanoacrylate III was a more potent inhibitor than cyanoacrylate I of the photoreduction of 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) in the isolated PSII reaction centre. This cyanoacrylate was also more effective than diuron (DCMU) in blocking DCPIP reduction in the reaction centre complex. Moreover, unlike DCMU and cyanoacrylates I and II, cyanoacrylate III was more effective in inhibiting the quinone-dependent photoreduction of cytochrome b559 in isolated PSII reaction centres. It is concluded that the hydrophilic nature of cyanoacrylate III gives it greater potency with the isolated reaction centre and that its site of action is likely to be closer to the histidine ligands involved in the binding of non-haem iron rather than in the QB binding niche. (See footnote on page 331 for nomenclature of cyanoacrylates).  相似文献
