Abstract：
:The oxidation pathway of chlorophyll Z (ChlZ) in photosystem II (PSII) at cryogenic temperatures was studied by means of light-induced Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) difference spectroscopy. To examine the involvement of redox-active beta-carotene (Car) in the pathway, two Car molecules in Mn-depleted PSII membranes of spinach were selectively bleached by illumination at 250 K in the presence of ferricyanide and silicomolybdate. Successful bleaching of Car was demonstrated by disappearance of the light-induced FTIR signals of Car+ at 1465, 1440, and 1147 cm(-1) at 80 K under an oxidative condition. Even in the Car-bleached PSII, the ChlZ+/ChlZ signal at 1713/1687 cm(-1), which is attributed to the upshift of the 9-keto C=O band of ChlZ upon its oxidation, was induced by illumination at 80 K retaining about 80% of the intensity of the control PSII sample. The concomitant appearance of shoulders at 1727/1699 cm(-1) may indicate that both of the two ChlZ molecules on the D1 and D2 sides are photooxidized. The multiphasic kinetics of formation of the ChlZ+/ChlZ signal by continuous illumination at 80 K were mostly unchanged by Car depletion, while the formation rates at 210 K were appreciably reduced in Car-bleached PSII. These results indicate that there are electron-transfer pathways from ChlZ to P680+ that do not involve Car, and they are indeed dominant at 80 K. Although the pathways via Car are mostly blocked at this temperature, the contribution of such pathways to ChlZ oxidation becomes significant at higher temperatures.
