Electron donation to P700+through plastoquinone in the intersystem chain from both respiratory substrates and the photoreductants in PSI has been shown to be mediated by the NAD(P)H-dehydrogenase complex (NDH) inSynechocystisPCC 6803 cells [Mi et al. (1992)Plant Cell Physiol. 33: 1233]. To confirm the participation of NDH in the cyclic electron flow around PSI, the redox kinetics of P700 and Chi fluorescence were analyzed in cells rendered deficient in respiratory substrates by dark starvation and in spheroplasts.Dark-starved cells showed a high steady-state level of P700+under far-red (FR) illumination and the plastoquinone pool was in a highly oxidized state. An NDH-defective mutant consistently showed a high level of P700 oxidation under FR before and after the dark starvation. Donation of electrons either from exogenous NADPH or from photoreduced NADPH+to the intersystem chain via plastoquinone was demonstrated using spheroplasts from wild-type cells, but not those from the NDH-defective mutant, as monitored by following changes in the kinetics of Chi fluorescence and the redox state of P700. The electron flow to PSI via plastoquinone, mediated by NADPH, was sensitive to rotenone, Hg2+ions and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, inhibitors of mitochondrial NDH and succinate dehydrogenase, but not to antimycin A. The pool size of electrons that can be donated to P700+from the cytosol through the intersystem chain increased with increasing duration of illumination time by actinic light and was sensitive to rotenone in both wild-type cells and spheroplasts, but no such results were obtained in the NDH-defective mutant ofSynechocystis6803. The results support our previous conclusion that NDH is a mediator of both respiratory electron flow and cyclic electron flow around PSI to the intersystem chain in the cyanobacteriumSynechocystis.
