Abstract
The effect of $Cd^{2+}$ on the electron transport rate of PSI and PSII was investigated in isolated spinach chloroplasts. In photosystem II, the rate of electron transport was decreased as the concentration of $Cd^{2+}$ was increased from 1 to $100\;\mu\textrm{M}$. The inhibitory effect of $Cd^{2+}$ was reduced when diphenylcarbazide was added to the reaction medium, indicating that $Cd^{2+}$ affects primarily psn oxygen evolving complexes of thylakoid membrane. The inhibitory effect of $Cd^{2+}$ was reduced when $Mn^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ were added to the reaction medium, but the inhibitory effect was not fully relieved. Although the activity of psn was decreased significantly by the treatment of $50\;\mu\textrm{M}\;Cd^{2+}$, Fv/Fm was decreased slightly. However, the treatment of $100\;\mu\textrm{M}\;Cd^{2+}$ resulted in the marked decrease of Fv/Fm. In photosystem I, the rate of electron transport decreased as the concentration of $Cd^{2+}$ was increased from 0.2 to 3.2 mM. The inhibitory effect of $Cd^{2+}$ was decreased when the chloroplast treated with $Cd^{2+}$ was washed by centrifugation.gation.
분리한 시금치 엽록체에 $Cd^{2+}$을 처리하였을 때 광계 I에 비해서 광계 II의 활성이 낮은 농도의 $Cd^{2+}$에 의해 억제되었다. 그러므로 $Cd^{2+}$에 의해 1차적으로 광계 II 활성이 저해되었다는 것을 알 수 있다. 광계 II의 전자공여체인 diphenylcarbazide를 첨가했을 때 대조구에 비해 활성이 크게 증가하였다. $Cd^{2+}$ 처리시 $Mn^{2+}과\;Ca^{2+}을$ 외부에서 첨가했을 때 광계 II 활성은 회복되었지만 회복되는 정도가 15%로 낮았다. $50\;\mu\textrm{M}\;Cd^{2+}$ 처리구에서 광계 II 활성은 크게 감소하였으나 Fv/Fm는 미소하게 감소하였으며 $100\;\mu\textrm{M}\;Cd^{2+}$ 처리구에서 Fv/Fm는 크게 감소하였다. 광계 I활성은 $Cd^{2+}$의 처리 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나 세척하였을 경우 0.2 mM의 $Cd^{2+}$ 처리구에서 대조구보다 활성이 증가하였으며 농도가 높아짐에 따라 활성의 회복 정도가 컸다.
