High impact information on PETC

  • To assess whether ferredoxin (Fd) donates electrons directly to plastoquinone (PQ) or via a Q-cycle in the cytochrome (cyt) b(6)f complex in PSI cyclic electron transport, we characterized the activity of PSI cyclic electron transport in an Arabidopsis mutant, pgr1 (proton gradient regulation) [1].
  • In pgr1, Q-cycle activity was hypersensitive to acidification of the thylakoid lumen because of an amino acid alteration in the Rieske subunit of the cyt b(6)f complex, resulting in a conditional defect in Q-cycle activity [1].
  • All the results indicated that the pgr1 mutation did not affect PGR5-dependent PQ reduction by Fd [1].
  • In contrast to the pgr5 defect, the pgr1 defect did not show any synergistic effect on the quantum yield of photosystem II in crr2-2, a mutant in which NDH (NAD(P)H dehydrogenase) activity was impaired [1].
  • Map-based cloning showed that pgr1 had a point mutation in petC encoding the Rieske subunit of the cytochrome b(6)f complex [2].
 

Biological context of PETC

  • The photosynthetic electron transport chain (PETC) is the principal place of appearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants under illumination [3].
  • We showed that pgr1 was sensitive to changes in light conditions, demonstrating that maximum activity of the cytochrome b(6)f complex is indispensable for short-term acclimation [2].
  • The amino acid sequence of CAO predicts mononuclear iron and Rieske iron-sulfur centers in the protein [4].
