Polypeptides encoded by plastid ndh
genes form a complex (Ndh) which could reduce plastoquinone with NADH.
Through a terminal oxidase, reduced plastoquinone would be oxidized in
chlororespiration. However, isolated Ndh complex has low activity with
plastoquinone and no terminal oxidase has been found in chloroplasts,
thus the function of Ndh complex is unknown. Alternatively, thylakoid
hydroquinone peroxidase could oxidize reduced plastoquinone with
H2O2. By immunoaffinity chromatography, we have
purified the plastid Ndh complex of barley (Hordeum vulgare
L.) to investigate the electron donor and acceptor specificity. A
detergent-containing system was reconstructed with thylakoid Ndh
complex and peroxidase which oxidized NADH with H2O2 in a plastoquinone-dependent
process. This system and the increases of thylakoid Ndh complex and
peroxidase activities under photooxidative stress suggest that the
chlororespiratory process consists of the sequence of reactions
catalyzed by Ndh complex, peroxidase (acting on reduced plastoquinone),
superoxide dismutase, and the non-enzymic one-electron transfer from
reduced iron-sulfur protein (FeSP) to O2. When FeSP is a
component of cytochrome b6·f complex or of the same Ndh complex, O2 may be reduced with
NADH, without requirement of light. Chlororespiration consumes reactive species of oxygen and, eventually, may decrease their production by
lowering O2 concentration in chloroplasts. The common
plastoquinone pool with photosynthetic electron transport suggests that
chlororespiratory reactions may poise reduced and oxidized forms of the
intermediates of cyclic electron transport under highly fluctuating
light intensities.
