Popis: | The change in the dark reduction rate of photooxidized reaction centers (RC) of type II from three anoxygenic bacteria (Rhodobacter sphaeroides R-26, Chromatium minutissimum, and Chloroflexus aurantiacus) having different redox potentials of the P(+)/P pair and availability of RC for exogenous electron donors was investigated upon the addition of Mn(2+) and HCO(3)(-). It was found that the dark reduction of P(870)(+) from Rb. sphaeroides R-26 is considerably accelerated upon the combined addition of 0.5 mM MnCl(2) and 30-75 mM NaHCO(3) (as a result of formation of "low-potential" complexes [Mn(HCO(3))(2)]), while MnCl(2) and NaHCO(3) added separately had no such effect. The effect is not observed either in RC from Cf. aurantiacus (probably due to the low oxidation potential of the primary electron donor, P(865), which results in thermodynamic difficulties of the redox interaction between P(865)(+) and Mn(2+)) or in RC from Ch. minutissimum (apparently due to the presence of the RC-bound cytochrome preventing the direct interaction between P(870)(+) and Mn(2+)). The absence of acceleration of the dark reduction of P(870)(+) in the RC of Rb. sphaeroides R-26 when Mn(2+) and HCO(3)(-) were replaced by Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) and by formate, oxalate, or acetate, respectively, reveals the specificity of the Mn2+-bicarbonate complexes for the redox interaction with P(+). The results of this work might be considered as experimental evidence for the hypothesis of the participation of Mn(2+) complexes in the evolutionary origin of the inorganic core of the water oxidizing complex of photosystem II. |
