En el presente trabajo de investigación se ha llevado a cabo un extenso estudio de la fracción lipídica de la materia orgánica sedimentaria de los principales sistemas acuáticos del Parque Nacional de Doñana (lagunas de Santa Olalla, Dulce y Zahillo, lucios Membrillo, Ansares y Mari López, Caño de Guadiamar y Arroyo de la Madre de las Marismas,...

The light-induced difference absorption spectra associated to the photo-accumulation of reduced pheophytin a were studied in the isolated D1–D2–Cyt b559 complex in the presence of variable methyl viologen concentrations and different illumination conditions under anaerobiosis. Depending on the methyl viologen/reaction centre ratio, the relative...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously generated gaseous signaling molecule, which recently has been implicated in autophagy regulation in both plants and mammals through persulfidation of specific targets. Persulfidation has been suggested as the molecular mechanism through which sulfide regulates autophagy in plant cells. ATG18a is a core...

Anomalies in photosynthetic activity of the soybean cell line STR7, carrying a single mutation (S268P) in the chloroplastic gene psbA that codes for the D1 protein of the photosystem II, have been examined using different spectroscopic techniques. Thermoluminescence emission experiments have shown important differences between STR7 mutant and...

A study of the in vitro reconstitution of sugar beet cytochrome b 559 of the photosystem II is described. Both α and β cytochrome subunits were first cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. In vitro reconstitution of this cytochrome was carried out with partially purified recombinant subunits from inclusion bodies. Reconstitution with...

Toxic Cu (II) effect on cytochrome b559 under aerobic photoinhibitory conditions was examined in two different photosystem II (PSII) membrane preparations active in oxygen evolution. The preparations differ in the content of cytochrome b559 redox potential forms. Difference absorption spectra showed that the presence of Cu (II) induced the...

Detergent effect on Cytochrome b559 from spinach photosystem II was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in D1-D2-Cyt b559 complex preparations. Various n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside concentrations from 0 to 0.2% (w/v) were used to stabilise the D1-D2-Cyt b559 complexes. Low spin heme ...

The photosynthetic cytochrome c550 from the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been purified and characterized. Cytochrome c550 is mostly obtained from the soluble cell extract in relatively large amounts. In addition, the protein appeared to be truncated in the last hydrophobic residues of the C-terminus, both in the soluble...

Hydrogen sulfide is a signaling molecule that regulates essential processes in plants, such as autophagy. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), hydrogen sulfide negatively regulates autophagy independently of reactive oxygen species via an unknown mechanism. Comparative and quantitative proteomic analysis was used to detect abscisic...
