Popis: | Summary: Pigment-protein complexes from Rhodomicrobium vannielii were prepared by detergent solubilization of intra-cytoplasmic membranes followed by gel electrophoresis or sucrose gradient centrifugation. These procedures gave rise to two native pigmented complexes. The major one (designated B800-865) was associated with two polypeptides of Mr 11000 and 13000 and was identified with the ‘accessory’ light-harvesting complex II found in other members of the Rhodospirillaceae. The minor complex (designated B885-RC) contained both reaction centre and light-harvesting bacteriochlorophyll. Detergent fractionation and reversible chemical cross-linking, followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicated a specific relationship between a membrane-bound cytochrome c-553 and the Mr 31000 subunit of the reaction centre. |
