Activities related to photosystem I and photosystem II are cytochemically localized at the electron microscope level by using suitable artificial electron donors and acceptors with, or without, factors uncoupling the light-induced electron flow between the two systems. Photo-oxidation of DAB, insensitive to DCMU, is linked to photosystem I activity. It occurs within the grana and stroma membranes of the chloroplasts. Photo-reduction of TC-NBT sensitive to DCMU, is a photosystem II mediated reaction. It is trapped within the grana membranes.

PROTEIN COMPOSITION OF SPINACH CHLOROPLASTS AND THEIR PHOTOSYSTEM I AND PHOTOSYSTEM II SUBFRAGMENTS*
Abstract— The proteins of spinach chloroplasts and their subfragments containing photosystem I and photosystem II, obtained by Triton X‐100 treatment or French‐pressure rupture, were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)‐acrylamide electrophoresis at pH 7·0 in phosphate buffer. The individual protein bands were identified where possible by comparing them with known, isolated and characterized proteins from chloroplasts, and their molecular weights were determined. The protein composition of the chloroplast fragments were correlated to the functional properties of these fragments. Distinct patterns were obtained for photosystem I and photosystem II particles. The major protein of photosystem II is expressed in the 23 kilodalton range and photosystem I proteins seem to be clustered mainly in the 50–70 kilodalton range.

Abstract With the aim to specifically study the molecular mechanisms behind photoinhibition of photosystem I, stacked spinach (Spinacia oleracea) thylakoids were irradiated at 4°C with far-red light (>715 nm) exciting photosystem I, but not photosystem II. Selective excitation of photosystem I by far-red light for 130 min resulted in a 40% inactivation of photosystem I. It is surprising that this treatment also caused up to 90% damage to photosystem II. This suggests that active oxygen produced at the reducing side of photosystem I is highly damaging to photosystem II. Only a small pool of the D1-protein was degraded. However, most of the D1-protein was modified to a slightly higher molecular mass, indicative of a damage-induced conformational change. The far-red illumination was also performed using destacked and randomized thylakoids in which the distance between the photosystems is shorter. Upon 130 min of illumination, photosystem I showed an approximate 40% inactivation as in stacked thylakoids. In contrast, photosystem II only showed 40% inactivation in destacked and randomized thylakoids, less than one-half of the inactivation observed using stacked thylakoids. In accordance with this, photosystem II, but not photosystem I is more protected from photoinhibition in destacked thylakoids. Addition of active oxygen scavengers during the far-red photosystem I illumination demonstrated superoxide to be a major cause of damage to photosystem I, whereas photosystem II was damaged mainly by superoxide and hydrogen peroxide.
