Interaction of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine with photosystem II as revealed by thermoluminescence: Reduction of the higher oxidation states of the Mn cluster and displacement of plastoquinone from the QB niche
چکیده انگلیسی

The flash-induced thermoluminescence (TL) technique was used to investigate the action of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) on charge recombination in photosystem II (PSII). Addition of low concentrations (μM range) of TMPD to thylakoid samples strongly decreased the yield of TL emanating from S2QB− and S3QB− (B-band), S2QA− (Q-band), and YD+QA− (C-band) charge pairs. Further, the temperature-dependent decline in the amplitude of chlorophyll fluorescence after a flash of white light was strongly retarded by TMPD when measured in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU). Though the period-four oscillation of the B-band emission was conserved in samples treated with TMPD, the flash-dependent yields (Yn) were strongly declined. This coincided with an upshift in the maximum yield of the B-band in the period-four oscillation to the next flash. The above characteristics were similar to the action of the ADRY agent, carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Simulation of the B-band oscillation pattern using the integrated Joliot–Kok model of the S-state transitions and binary oscillations of QB confirmed that TMPD decreased the initial population of PSII centers with an oxidized plastoquinone molecule in the QB niche. It was deduced that the action of TMPD was similar to CCCP, TMPD being able to compete with plastoquinone for binding at the QB-site and to reduce the higher S-states of the Mn cluster.
