Abstract
Ethinyl estradiol (EE2) is a synthetic environmental estrogen with considerable estrogenic activity. It has been found to consequently pose a significant threat to the aquatic ecosystem. Harmful algal blooms are a major aquatic ecological issue. However, the relationship between EE2 and cyanobacterial bloom is mainly unknown. In this study, the physiological and molecular responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to EE2 exposure were investigated. A low level of EE2 (0.02 μg/L) significantly enhanced the growth of algal cells (P < 0.05), whereas higher concentrations of EE2 (0.2-200 μg/L) inhibited it. EE2 at doses ranging from 0.02 to 200 μg/L promoted the production of microcystins (MCs), with genes mcyABD playing a key role in the regulation of MC synthesis. The alterations of chlorophyll-a, carotenoid, and phycocyanin contents caused by EE2 showed the same trend as cell growth. At the molecular level, 200 μg/L EE2 significantly down-regulated genes in photosynthetic pigment synthesis, light harvesting, electron transfer, NADPH, and ATP generation. High concentrations of EE2 caused oxidative damage to algal cells on the 4th d. After 12d exposure, although there was no significant change in superoxide dismutase (SOD) content and no damage observed in membrane lipids, genes related to SOD and glutathione were changed. In addition, due to the down-regulation of pckA, PK, gltA, nrtA, pstS, etc., carbon fixation, glycolysis, TCA cycle, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism were hindered by EE2 (200 μg/L). Gene fabG in fatty acid biosynthesis was significantly up-regulated, promoting energy storage in cells. These findings provide important clues to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of cyanobacterial blooms triggered by EE2 and help to effectively prevent and control cyanobacterial blooms.

Abstract
A quantitative understanding of the photosynthetic machinery depends largely on quantities, such as concentrations, sizes, absorption wavelengths, redox potentials, and rate constants. The present contribution is a collection of numbers and quantities related mainly to photosynthesis in higher plants. All numbers are taken directly from a literature or database source and the corresponding reference is provided. The numerical values, presented in this paper, provide ranges of values, obtained in specific experiments for specific organisms. However, the presented numbers can be useful for understanding the principles of structure and function of photosynthetic machinery and for guidance of future research.

Abstract
Phosphorylation-dependent movement of the light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) between photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) takes place in order to balance the function of the two photosystems. Traditionally, the phosphorylatable fraction of LHCII has been considered as the functional unit of this dynamic regulation. Here, a mechanical fractionation of the thylakoid membrane of Spinacia oleracea was performed from leaves both in the phosphorylated state (low light, LL) and in the dephosphorylated state (dark, D) in order to compare the phosphorylation-dependent protein movements with the excitation changes occurring in the two photosystems upon LHCII phosphorylation. Despite the fact that several LHCII proteins migrate to stroma lamellae when LHCII is phosphorylated, no increase occurs in the 77 K fluorescence emitted from PSI in this membrane fraction. On the contrary, such an increase in fluorescence occurs in the grana margin fraction, and the functionally important mobile unit is the PSI-LHCI complex. A new model for LHCII phosphorylation driven regulation of relative PSII/PSI excitation thus emphasises an increase in PSI absorption cross-section occurring in grana margins upon LHCII phosphorylation and resulting from the movement of PSI-LHCI complexes from stroma lamellae and subsequent co-operation with the P-LHCII antenna from the grana. The grana margins probably give a flexibility for regulation of linear and cyclic electron flow in plant chloroplasts.

Abstract
The supramolecular organization of photosystem II (PSII) was characterized in distinct domains of the thylakoid membrane, the grana core, the grana margins, the stroma lamellae, and the so-called Y100 fraction. PSII supercomplexes, PSII core dimers, PSII core monomers, PSII core monomers lacking the CP43 subunit, and PSII reaction centers were resolved and quantified by blue native PAGE, SDS-PAGE for the second dimension, and immunoanalysis of the D1 protein. Dimeric PSII (PSII supercomplexes and PSII core dimers) dominate in the core part of the thylakoid granum, whereas the monomeric PSII prevails in the stroma lamellae. Considerable amounts of PSII monomers lacking the CP43 protein and PSII reaction centers (D1-D2-cytochrome b559 complex) were found in the stroma lamellae. Our quantitative picture of the supramolecular composition of PSII, which is totally different between different domains of the thylakoid membrane, is discussed with respect to the function of PSII in each fraction. Steady state electron transfer, flash-induced fluorescence decay, and EPR analysis revealed that nearly all of the dimeric forms represent oxygen-evolving PSII centers. PSII core monomers were heterogeneous, and a large fraction did not evolve oxygen. PSII monomers without the CP43 protein and PSII reaction centers showed no oxygen-evolving activity.

Abstract
The relative proportion of stroma lamellae and grana end membranes was determined from electron micrographs of 58 chloroplasts from 21 different plant species. The percentage of grana end membranes varied between 1 and 21% of the total thylakoid membrane indicating a large variation in the size of grana stacks. By contrast the stroma lamellae account for 20.3 +/- 2.5 (sd)% of the total thylakoid membrane. A plot of percentage stroma lamellae against percentage of grana end membranes fits a straight line with a slope of zero showing that the proportion of stroma lamellae is independent of the size of the grana stacks. That stroma lamellae account for about 20% of the thylakoid membrane is in agreement with fragmentation and separation analysis (Gadjieva et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 144: 92-100, 1999). Chloroplasts from spinach, grown under high or low light, were fragmented by sonication and separated by countercurrent distribution into two vesicle populations originating from grana and stroma lamellae plus end membranes, respectively. The separation diagrams were very similar lending independent support for the notion that the proportion of stroma lamellae is constant. The results are discussed in relation to the composition and function of the chloroplast in plants grown under different environmental conditions, and in relation to a recent quantitative model for the thylakoid (Albertsson, Trends Plant Sci. 6: 349-354, 2001).

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to quantify Photosystem I (PSI) and PSII in vesicles originating from a series of well-defined but different domains of the thylakoid membrane in spinach prepared by non-detergent techniques. Thylakoids from spinach were fragmented by sonication and separated by aqueous polymer two-phase partitioning into vesicles originating from grana and stroma lamellae. The grana vesicles were further sonicated and separated into two vesicle preparations originating from the grana margins and the appressed domains of grana (the grana core), respectively. PSI and PSII were determined in the same samples from the maximal size of the EPR signal from P700(+) and Y(D)( .-), respectively. The following PSI/PSII ratios were found: thylakoids, 1.13; grana vesicles, 0.43; grana core, 0.25; grana margins, 1.28; stroma lamellae 3.10. In a sub-fraction of the stroma lamellae, denoted Y-100, PSI was highly enriched and the PSI/PSII ratio was 13. The antenna size of the respective photosystems was calculated from the experimental data and the assumption that a PSII center in the stroma lamellae (PSIIbeta) has an antenna size of 100 Chl. This gave the following results: PSI in grana margins (PSIalpha) 300, PSI (PSIbeta) in stroma lamellae 214, PSII in grana core (PSIIalpha) 280. The results suggest that PSI in grana margins have two additional light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) trimers per reaction center compared to PSI in stroma lamellae, and that PSII in grana has four LHCII trimers per monomer compared to PSII in stroma lamellae. Calculation of the total chlorophyll associated with PSI and PSII, respectively, suggests that more chlorophyll (about 10%) is associated with PSI than with PSII.

Abstract
The ability of three substituted quinones, 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB), 2,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone (DCBQ), and tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone (duriquinone) to quench the excited states of chlorophyll (Chl) molecules in Photosystem I (PSI) was studied. Chl fluorescence emission measured with isolated PSI submembrane fractions was reduced following the addition of exogenous quinones. This quenching progressively increased with rising concentrations of the exogenous quinones according to the Stern-Volmer law. The values of Stern-Volmer quenching coefficients were found to be 3.28 x 10(5) M(-1) (DBMIB), 1.31 x 10(4) M(-1) (DCBQ), and 3.7 x 10(3) M(-1) (duroquinone). The relative quenching capacities of the various exogenous quinones in PSI thus strictly coincided to those found for the quenching of Fo level of Chl fluorescence in isolated thylakoids, which is emitted largely by Photosystem II (PSII) [Biochim. Biophys. Acta (2003) 1604, 115-123]. Quenching of Chl excited states in PSI submembrane fractions by exogenous quinones slowed down the rate of P700, primary electron donor of PSI, photooxidation measured at limiting actinic light irradiances thus revealing a reduced photochemical capacity of absorbed quanta. The possible involvement of non-photochemical quenching of excited Chl states by oxidized phylloquinones, electron acceptors of PSI, and oxidized plastoquinones, mobile electron carriers between PSII and the cytochrome b(6)/f complex, into the control of photochemical activity of PSI is discussed.

Abstract
The effect of natural shade on chloroplast thylakoid membrane activity and composition was examined for soybean (Glycine Max. cv. Young) grown under field conditions. Plots with high (10 plants m(-1) row) or low (1 plant m(-1) row) plant density were established. Expanding leaves were tagged at 50, 58 and 65 days after planting (DAP). At 92 DAP, tagged leaves were used as reference points to characterize canopy light environments and isolate thylakoid membranes. Light environments ranged from a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 87% of full sun to a PPFD of 10% of full sun. The decline in PPFD was accompanied by an increase in the far-red/red (735 nm/645 nm) ratio from 0.9 to approximately six. The major effects of shade on chloroplast thylakoid membranes were a reduction in chloroplast coupling factor and a shift in light-harvesting capacity from Photosystem I to Photosystem II. Photosynthetic electron transport capacity was not affected by differences in PPFD, but was 20 to 30% higher in the 1 plant m(-1) row treatment. The plant density effect on electron transport was associated with differences in plastocyanin concentration, suggesting that plastocyanin is a limiting factor in soybean. Shade did not have a significant effect on the concentration of Photosystem II, Cyt b6f, or Photosystem I complexes.

Abstract
Fifteen ancestral genotypes of United States soybean cultivars were screened for differences in photosynthetic electron transport capacity using isolated thylakoid membranes. Plants were grown in controlled environment chambers under high or low irradiance conditions. Thylakoid membranes were isolated from mature leaves. Photosynthetic electron transport was assayed as uncoupled Hill activity using 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP). Soybean electron transport activity was dependent on genotype and growth irradiance and ranged from 6 to 91 mmol DCIP reduced [mol chlorophyll](-1) s(-1). Soybean plastocyanin pool size ranged from 0.1 to 1.3 mol plastocyanin [mol Photosystem I](-1). In contrast, barley and spinach electron transport activities were 140 and 170 mmol DCIP reduced [mol chlorophyll](-1) s(-1), respectively, with plastocyanin pool sizes of 3 to 4 mol plastocyanin [mol Photosystem I](-1). No significant differences in the concentrations of Photosystem II, plastoquinone, cytochrome b6f complexes, or Photosystem I were observed. Thus, genetic differences in electron transport activity were correlated with plastocyanin pool size. The results suggested that plastocyanin pool size can vary significantly and may limit photosynthetic electron transport capacity in certain species such as soybean. Soybean plastocyanin consisted of two isoforms with apparent molecular masses of 14 and 11 kDa, whereas barley and spinach plastocyanins each consisted of single polypeptides of 8 and 12 kDa, respectively.

Abstract
Recent work on the domain organization of the thylakoid is reviewed and a model for the thylakoid of higher plants is presented. According to this model the thylakoid membrane is divided into three main domains: the stroma lamellae, the grana margins and the grana core (partitions). These have different biochemical compositions and have specialized functions. Linear electron transport occurs in the grana while cyclic electron transport is restricted to the stroma lamellae. This model is based on the following results and considerations. (1) There is no good candidate for a long-range mobile redox carrier between PS II in the grana and PS I in the stroma lamellae. The lateral diffusion of plastoquinone and plastocyanin is severely restricted by macromolecular crowding in the membrane and the lumen respectively. (2) There is an excess of 14±18% chlorophyll associated with PS I over that of PS II. This excess is assumed to be localized in the stroma lamellae where PS I drives cyclic electron transport. (3) For several plant species, the stroma lamellae account for 20±3% of the thylakoid membrane and the grana (including the appressed regions, margins and end membranes) for the remaining 80%. The amount of stroma lamellae (20%) corresponds to the excess (14-18%) of chlorophyll associated with PS I. (4) The model predicts a quantum requirement of about 10 quanta per oxygen molecule evolved, which is in good agreement with experimentally observed values. (5) There are at least two pools of each of the following components: PS I, PS II, cytochrome bf complex, plastocyanin, ATP synthase and plastoquinone. One pool is in the grana and the other in the stroma compartments. So far, it has been demonstrated that the PS I, PS II and cytochrome bf complexes each differ in their respective pools.

Abstract
A procedure of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis adapted for application on membrane proteins from the thylakoids is described. It involves isoelectric focusing in the first dimension and size dependent electrophoresis in the second dimension. About 100 polypeptides are clearly separated with relatively little streaking. About 20 polypeptides are identified by immunoblotting or location in the gel. They are the polypeptides of the PS I core, the 64 kDa protein, the α and β subunits of CF1 ATPase, cytochrome f, Rieske iron-sulfur protein, the 23 kDa and 33 kDa polypeptides of the oxygen evolving complexes, CP29, CP24, CP27 and CP25 (last two proteins belong to LHCII). Some proteins give rise to two or more separate spots indicating a separation of different isoforms of these proteins. Among them, the LHCII polypeptides (27 kDa and 25 kDa) were each resolved into at least three spots in the pH range 4.75-5.90; the Rieske FeS protein, as published elsewhere (Yu et al. 1994), was separated into two forms having different isoelectric points (pI 5.1 and 5.4), each of them was also microsequenced; the 64 kDa protein claimed to be a LHCII-kinase was found to be multiple forms appearing in at least two isoforms with pI 6.2 (K1) and 6.0 (K2) respectively, furthermore, K1 can be resolved into two subpopulations.The lateral distribution of these proteins in the thylakoid membrane was determined by analysing the vesicles originating from different parts of the thylakoids. The data obtained from this analysis can be partially used as markers for different thylakoid domains.This procedure for sample solubilization and 2-D electrophoresis is useful for the analysis of the polypeptide composition of vesicles originating from the thylakoid membrane and for microsequences of individual polypeptides isolated from the 2-D gel.

Abstract
Chloroplast proteins were phosphorylated under two test conditions: 'white light' irradiance alone and 'white light' irradiance with the addition of glucose and glucose oxidase, used to produce an anaerobic medium. The interaction of phospho-LHC II with Photosystem 1 (PS 1) was studied for two types of PS I preparation. Changes in the chlorophyll a/b ratio and the ratio of 650 and 680 nm band intensities (E650/E680) in fluorescence excitation spectra were used in calculating the phospho-LHC II portion which became associated with PS 1. It is shown that the associated portion of phospho-LHC II varies for each of the PS 1 preparations and phosphorylation procedures. Possible conclusions as regards the transfer of various sets of LHC II subpopulations under different phosphorylation procedures and the differences of interaction with PS 1 are discussed.

Abstract
Recently, a number of techniques, some of them relatively new and many often used in combination, have given a clearer picture of the dynamic role of electron transport in Photosystem I of photosynthesis and of coupled cyclic photophosphorylation. For example, the photoacoustic technique has detected cyclic electron transport in vivo in all the major algal groups and in leaves of higher plants. Spectroscopic measurements of the Photosystem I reaction center and of the changes in light scattering associated with thylakoid membrane energization also indicate that cyclic photophosphorylation occurs in living plants and cyanobacteria, particularly under stressful conditions.In cyanobacteria, the path of cyclic electron transport has recently been proposed to include an NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, a complex that may also participate in respiratory electron transport. Photosynthesis and respiration may share common electron carriers in eukaryotes also. Chlororespiration, the uptake of O2 in the dark by chloroplasts, is inhibited by excitation of Photosystem I, which diverts electrons away from the chlororespiratory chain into the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Chlororespiration in N-starved Chlamydomonas increases ten fold over that of the control, perhaps because carbohydrates and NAD(P)H are oxidized and ATP produced by this process.The regulation of energy distribution to the photosystems and of cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation via state 1 to state 2 transitions may involve the cytochrome b 6-f complex. An increased demand for ATP lowers the transthylakoid pH gradient, activates the b 6-f complex, stimulates phosphorylation of the light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex of Photosystem II and decreases energy input to Photosystem II upon induction of state 2. The resulting increase in the absorption by Photosystem I favors cyclic electron flow and ATP production over linear electron flow to NADP and 'poises' the system by slowing down the flow of electrons originating in Photosystem II.Cyclic electron transport may function to prevent photoinhibition to the photosynthetic apparatus as well as to provide ATP. Thus, under high light intensities where CO2 can limit photosynthesis, especially when stomates are closed as a result of water stress, the proton gradient established by coupled cyclic electron transport can prevent over-reduction of the electron transport system by increasing thermal de-excitation in Photosystem II (Weis and Berry 1987). Increased cyclic photophosphorylation may also serve to drive ion uptake in nutrient-deprived cells or ion export in salt-stressed cells.There is evidence in some plants for a specialization of Photosystem I. For example, in the red alga Porphyra about one third of the total Photosystem I units are engaged in linear electron transfer from Photosystem II and the remaining two thirds of the Photosystem I units are specialized for cyclic electron flow. Other organisms show evidence of similar specialization.Improved understanding of the biological role of cyclic photophosphorylation will depend on experiments made on living cells and measurements of cyclic photophosphorylation in vivo.

Abstract
In order to examine whether the two photosystems, PS I and PS II, are organized in specific electron transporting pairs, or randomly transport electrons from PS II to PS I, the photosystems imbalance of photoactivities (Emerson enhancement) was measured by modulated fluorimetry under different degrees of PS II inhibition in broken chloroplasts, where the granal structures were preserved by the presence of 5 mM MgCl. The results indicate a lack of any measurable specific functional pairing between individual PS I and PS II, in contrast to a previous research work in leaves (Malkin et al. 1986, Photosynth. Res. 10: 291-296). These results and this discrepancy are further discussed.

Abstract
Thylakoid membranes from spinach were fragmented mechanically and separated into vesicles originating from grana and stroma-exposed lamellae (Andreasson et al. (1988) Biochim Biophys Acta 936: 339-350). The grana vesicles were further fragmented and separated into smaller vesicles originating from different parts of the grana (Svensson and Albertsson (1989) Photosynth Res 20: 249-259). All vesicles so obtained were analyzed with respect to chlorophyll and carotenoid composition by reverse phase HPLC. For all fractions the following relations (mole/mole) were found: 1 carotenoid per 4 chlorophyll (a+b), 2 lutein per 5 chlorophyll b and 5 violaxanthin per 100 chlorophyll (a + b). The contents of lutein and neoxanthin were each linearly related to chlorophyll b and β-carotene was linearly related to chlorophyll a.

Abstract
The cytochrome b 6 f complex occupies a central position in photosynthetic electron transport and proton translocation by linking PS II to PS I in linear electron flow from water to NADP(+), and around PS I for cyclic electron flow. Cytochrome b 6 f complexes are uniquely located in three membrane domains: the appressed granal membranes, the non-appressed stroma thylakoids and end grana membranes, and also the non-appressed grana margins, in contrast to the marked lateral heterogeneity of the localization of all other thylakoid multiprotein complexes. In addition to its vital role in vectorial electron transfer and proton translocation across the membrane, cytochrome b 6 f complex is also involved in the regulation of balanced light excitation energy distribution between the photosystems, since its redox state governs the activation of LHC II kinase (the kinase that phosphorylates the mobile peripheral fraction of the chlorophyll a/b-proteins of LHC II of PS II). Hence, cytochrome b 6 f complex is the molecular link in the interactive co-regulation of light-harvesting and electron transfer.The importance of a highly dynamic, yet flexible organization of the thylakoid membranes of plants and green algae has been highlighted by the exciting discovery that a lateral reorganization of some cytochrome b 6 f complexes occurs in the state transition mechanism both in vivo and in vitro (Vallon et al. 1991). The lateral redistribution of phosphorylated LHC II from stacked granal membrane regions is accompanied by a concomitant movement of some cytochrome b 6 f complexes from the granal membranes out to the PS I-containing stroma thylakoids. Thus, the dynamic movement of cytochrome b 6 f complex as a multiprotein complex is a molecular mechanism for short-term adaptation to changing light conditions. With the concept of different membrane domains for linear and cyclic electron flow gaining credence, it is thought that linear electron flow occurs in the granal compartments and cyclic electron flow is localised in the stroma thylakoids at non-limiting irradiances. It is postulated that dynamic lateral reversible redistribution of some cytochrome b 6 f complexes are part of the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of linear electron transfer (ATP and NADPH) and cyclic electron flow (ATP only). Finally, the molecular significance of the marked regulation of cytochrome b 6 f complexes for long-term regulation and optimization of photosynthetic function under varying environmental conditions, particularly light acclimation, is discussed.
