Photochemical reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas capsulata

Abstract

A photochemically active bacteriochlorophyll-protein complex (reaction center) has been isolated from the carotenoidless mutant A1a+ of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata by treatment of membranes with lauryl dimethyl amine oxide. Three proteins with molecular weights of 20,500, 24,000 and 28,000 (molar ratio 1:1:1) were detected in the reaction center preparations. After mild treatment of intracytoplasmic membranes with Na-dodecyl sulfate (0.5%, 30 degrees C, 1 min) succeeded by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis two pigmented bands were obtained. Material of one fraction could be bleached reversibly by actinic light and contained two proteins with molecular weights of 20,500 and 24000. The second band is photochemically inactive.
