PMS-dependent photophosphorylation in bundle sheath chloroplasts isolated from Zea mays was monitored by using a continuous method. Carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) and venturicidin were shown to inhibit the ATP-synthesis. Venturicidin has been shown to inhibit ATP-formation in both mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts. In contrast to the case in mesophyll chloroplasts, FMN was not able to promote photophosphorylation in bundle sheath chloroplasts. The effects of other cofactors and inhibitors on the ATP-synthesis in bundle sheath chloroplasts are shown. No photoinduced synthesis of inorganic pyrophosphate was seen, neither in bundle sheath chloroplasts, nor in mesophyll chloroplasts.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010785 Photophosphorylation The use of light to convert ADP to ATP without the concomitant reduction of dioxygen to water as occurs during OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION in MITOCHONDRIA. Photosynthetic Phosphorylation,Phosphorylation, Photosynthetic,Phosphorylations, Photosynthetic,Photophosphorylations,Photosynthetic Phosphorylations
D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
D002736 Chloroplasts Plant cell inclusion bodies that contain the photosynthetic pigment CHLOROPHYLL, which is associated with the membrane of THYLAKOIDS. Chloroplasts occur in cells of leaves and young stems of plants. They are also found in some forms of PHYTOPLANKTON such as HAPTOPHYTA; DINOFLAGELLATES; DIATOMS; and CRYPTOPHYTA.

D003313 Zea mays A plant species of the family POACEAE. It is a tall grass grown for its EDIBLE GRAIN, corn, used as food and animal FODDER. Corn,Indian Corn,Maize,Teosinte,Zea,Corn, Indian
D000255 Adenosine Triphosphate An adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter.

D014698 Venturicidins Toxic substances isolated from various strains of Streptomyces. They are 20-membered macrolides that inhibit oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial ATPases. Venturicidins A and B are glycosides. Used mainly as tools in the study of mitochondrial function.
