| Abstract | Redox properties of cytochrome b559 (Cyt b559) and cytochrome c550 (Cyt c550) have been studied by using highly stable photosystem II (PSII) core complex preparations from a mutant strain of the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus with a histidine tag on the CP43 protein of PSII. Two different redox potential forms for Cyt b559 are found in these preparations, with a midpoint redox potential (E′m) of +390 mV in about half of the centers and +275 mV in the other half. The high-potential form, whose E′m is pH independent, can be converted into the lower potential form by Tris washing, mild heating or alkaline pH incubation. The E′m of the low-potential form is significantly higher than that found in other photosynthetic organisms and is not affected by pH. The possibility that the heme of Cyt b559 in T. elongatus is in a more hydrophobic environment is discussed. Cyt c550 has a higher E′m when bound to the PSII core (–80 mV at pH 6.0) than after its extraction from the complex (–240 mV at pH 6.0). The E′m of Cyt c550 bound to PSII is pH independent, while in the purified state an increase of about 58 mV/pH unit is observed when the pH decreases below pH 9.0. Thus, Cyt c550 seems to have a single protonateable group which influences the redox properties of the heme. From these electrochemical measurements and from EPR controls it is proposed that important changes in the solvent accessibility to the heme and in the acid-base properties of that protonateable group could occur upon the release of Cyt c550 from PSII. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
