System 1 particles were prepared from lettuce chloroplasts by the addition of digitonin and differential centrifugation as described previously (Nelson, N., Dreschler, Z., and Neumann, J. (1970)J. Biol. Chem.245, 143), but higher detergent concentrations were used. A cytochromeb6-fparticle was isolated from System 1 particles by the addition of protamine sulfate and centrifugation. The particle was purified by Bio-Gel and DEAE-column chromatography and ammonium sulfate precipitation. The presence of detergents during purification was required in order to prevent aggregation of the cytochromes.The ratio of cytochromeb6to cytochromefin the purified particle was close to 2.The particle contained non-heme iron and phospholipids. It was devoid of chlorophyll but contained carotenes. The calculated minimum molecular weight of the particle was 103,000 per 1 heme c.The molar extinction coefficient of the cytochromes in the particle was determined by measuring the absorbance of the pyridine hemochrome complexes. For cytochromeb6the molar extinction coefficients obtained were as follows: reduced minus oxidized at 563 nm minus 575 nm, 24,400; and at 563 nm minus 542 nm, 20,700. For cytochromefthe molar extinction coefficients obtained were as follows: reduced minus oxidized at 554 nm minus 538 nm, 20,600; and at 554 nm minus 565 nm 23,000.The E0of cytochromefin the particle is +330 mvolts and that of cytochromeb6is -100 mvolts.The cytochromeb6-fparticle from chloroplasts shows similarities with the cytochromeb-c1complex (Complex III) from mitochondria.Some implications of the present findings for the operation of photosynthetic electron transport pathways are discussed.
