Disease relevance of Plastoquinone-9

  • A photosystem I (PS I) complex containing plastoquinone-9 (PQ-9) but devoid of F(X), F(B), and F(A) was isolated and characterized from a mutant strain of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 in which the menB and rubA genes were insertionally inactivated [1].
  • Plastoquinone-9 (PQ-9) depleted PSII reaction center core complex consisting of D1, D2, CP47, cytochrome b-559 (cyt b-559), PSII-I and PSII-W was reconstituted with PQ-9 and digalactosyldiglyceride (DGDG) together with the wild-type or mutant PSII-L produced in E. coli or isolated PSII-L from spinach [2].
 

High impact information on Plastoquinone-9

  • HPLC analyses show high levels of plastoquinone-9 in PS I complexes from the menA and menB mutants but not from the wild type [3].
  • By subtracting the known (3)P700 spectral signatures, we produce an A(1)(-)/A(1) FTIR difference spectrum for PS I particles with plastoquinone-9 occupying the binding site [4].
  • Plastoquinol-9 formed in thylakoids as a result of enzymatic reduction of plastoquinone-9 by ferredoxin-plastoquinone reductase was even more active than the externally added plastoquinol-9 in the investigated reaction [5].
  • A modeling of the forward and backward electron transfer kinetics in P700-F(A)/F(B) complexes, P700-F(X) cores, and P700-A(1) cores shows that the replacement of phylloquinone by plastoquinone-9 induces a decrease in the free energy gap between A(1) and F(A)/F(B) from approximately -205 mV in wild-type PS I to approximately -70 mV in menA PS I [6].
  • Modeling of the P700+ charge recombination kinetics with phylloquinone and plastoquinone-9 in the A1 site of photosystem I [6].
 

Biological context of Plastoquinone-9

 

Anatomical context of Plastoquinone-9

  • We have studied the incorporation of chlorophyll a and plastoquinone-9 in Montal-Mueller membranes [7].
  • In Scenedesmus obliquus not only all plastid isoprenoids (carotenoids and prenyl side chains of chlorophylls and plastoquinone-9) were formed via this novel pathway, but also the non-plastid cytoplasmic sterols [8].
 

Associations of Plastoquinone-9 with other chemical compounds

  • Treatment of such samples (referred to as iron-depleted) with sodium dithionite or illumination in the presence of dichlorophenol indophenol (DCIP) and sodium ascorbate yielded EPR spectra similar to those of the plastoquinone-9 (PQ-9) radical anion generated in organic solvents [9].
  • A convenient and precise method for the separation and determination of coenzyme Q (CoQ)-related compounds (CoQ homologues, plastoquinone-9, ubichromenol-9, etc.) was developed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [10].
  • The efficiency of oxidized endogenous plastoquinone-9 (PQ-9) as a non-photochemical quencher of chlorophyll fluorescence has been analyzed in spinach thylakoids and PS II membrane fragments isolated by Triton X-100 fractionation of grana stacks [11].
