[Study of the acceptor portion of photosystem I according to the temperature relationships of P700 photoconversions].
The functioning of the acceptor part of photosystem I was studied by temperature dependence of time course of light induced absorbtion changes at 700 nm of digitonin chloroplast fragments, enriched by photosystem I. Partial irreversibility of P700 photooxidation at low temperatures and appearance of two components (rapid and slow) in the time course of P700+ dark reduction reflect the contribution of different acceptors in electron transport. Thermoinactivation of fragments incubation at acid pH or treatment by glutaraldehyde cause complete inhibition of irreversible P700 photooxidation and slow dark reduction of P700+ at -170 degrees. The slow component of P700+ reduction and irreversible photooxidation of P700 are ascribed to contribution of secondary ferredoxin acceptors. The accurence of rapid component of P700+ dark reduction in light induced signal of treated fragments indicate that this component is due to recombination of reduced primary acceptor and P700+. Because only one electron transport takes at -170 degrees, the occurence of rapid and slow components in dark decay kinetics of P700+ suggests, that secondary acceptors of some reaction centers are incapable to reduction at -170 degrees. The shape of temperature dependence curve of the slow P700+ reduction component is interpreted as an indication of the tunneling electron transport.
