title: The partial purification of a factor from Dunaliella salina that causes the rapid in situ inactivation of light-activated chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1).
abstract: A factor having the expected properties of the in vivo oxidant responsible for inactivating the in vivo light-activated chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) has been partially purified from cell-free extracts of Dunaliella salina. This factor is highly polar, weakly acidic, and relatively temperature stable. The ability of this factor to inactivate light-activated CF1 is prevented if it is pretreated with reductants such as dithiothreitol. The factor has virtually no effect on the ethanol-induced, Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of the isolated CF1.
