Sulphydryl groups in photosynthetic energy conservation. V. Localization of the new disulfide bridges formed by o-iodosobenzoate in coupling factor of spinach chloroplasts.
1. Chemical modification by o-iodosobenzoate of soluble chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) during heat activation resulted in inhibition of its Ca-ATPase activity and in the formation of two new intrapeptide disulfide bridges as suggested by: (a) the disappearance of three out of four accessible thiol groups, two from gamma and one from a beta subunit as a consequence of CF1 modification by o-iodosobenzoate; (b) the total free sulphydryl groups of CF1 were reduced from 8 to 4 after modification of CF1 by o-iodosobenzoate. Two groups disappeared from beta and two from gamma subunits; (c) a second heating step of CF1 in the presence of 10 mM dithioerythritol reversed the inhibition of the ATPase and reduced both the newly formed disulfide bridges and those present in native CF1. 2. Modification of chloroplasts in the light with o-iodosobenzoate resulted in the inhibition of photophosphorylation and ATPase. CF1 isolated and purified from these chloroplasts had its Ca-ATPase activity inhibited and two new disulfide bridges. The total number of free sulphydryl groups was reduced from 8 to 4 and three accessible groups disappeared from beta and gamma subunits.
