Abstract：
:The site of superoxide production in spinach thylakoids was found to be the aprotic interior of the thylakoid membranes near the P700 chlorophyll a protein at the reaction center of photosystem I complexes. This conclusion was drawn from the following findings. (i) Cytochrome c reduction by illuminated thylakoids, which was confirmed to be superoxide dependent by the failure of this reaction to occur in anaerobiosis, was completely inhibited by a dibutyl catechol, but partially inhibited by a hydrophilic disulfonated derivative. (ii) P700 chlorophyll a proteins were preferentially iodinated by lactoperoxidase by the use of hydrogen peroxide that was derived from the disproportionation of superoxides in illuminated thylakoids. (iii) Hydrogen peroxide production and oxygen uptake were induced by ammonium chloride, a proton conductor that can permeate through thylakoid membranes, but whole superoxide in the bulk solution was oxidized back to molecular oxygen by cytochrome c. The effective concentration of ammonium chloride decreased to one-sixtieth of the original, when an ammonium ion ionophore, nonactin, was added. Thus, the weak acid allowed superoxide to yield hydrogen peroxide disproportionately in the thylakoid membrane interior.
