• W1523755720 abstract "Photosynthetic Pyridine Nucleotide Reductase. I. Partial Purification and Properties of the Enzyme from Spinach (San Pietro, A., and Lang, H. M. (1958) J. Biol. Chem. 231, 211–229) The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoids and depend on the interplay of two photosystems. Photosystem I, excited by light of wavelength shorter than 700 nm, generates NADPH via the formation of reduced ferredoxin. Photosystem II, requiring light of wavelength shorter than 680 nm, produces a strong oxidant that leads to the formation of O2. The resulting accumulation of protons in the thylakoid lumen causes the formation of a transmembrane pH gradient, which is then used to drive the synthesis of ATP. These light reactions were first recognized in 1939 when Robert Hill demonstrated that isolated chloroplasts could simultaneously produce oxygen and reduce a high potential electron acceptor in the presence of light. Over the next 20 years a variety of substances were found to function as oxidants for the Hill reaction. The ability of chloroplasts to reduce pyridine nucleotides was first demonstrated in 1951, when three laboratories independently reported that illuminated chloroplasts were capable of generating oxygen and reducing NADP (1Vishniac W. Ochoa S. Photochemical reduction of pyridine nucleotides by spinach grana and coupled carbon dioxide fixation..Nature. 1951; 167: 768-769Crossref PubMed Scopus (24) Google Scholar, 2Tolmach L.J. Effects of triphosphopyridine nucleotide upon oxygen evolution and carbon dioxide fixation by illuminated chloroplasts..Nature. 1951; 167: 946-948Crossref PubMed Scopus (19) Google Scholar, 3Arnon D.I. Extracellular photosynthetic reactions..Nature. 1951; 167: 1008-1010Crossref PubMed Scopus (29) Google Scholar). This was the beginning of enzymatic research on NADP photoreduction in chloroplasts. Within the next 7 years, three protein factors were isolated: methemoglobin-reducing factor, which is needed for utilizing methemoglobin as a Hill oxidant (4Davenport H.E. Hill R. Whatley F.R. A natural factor catalyzing reduction of methaemoglobin by isolated chloroplasts..Proc. Roy. Soc. Lond. B Biol. Sci. 1952; 139: 346-358Crossref PubMed Google Scholar); triphosphopyridine nucleotide-reducing factor, which is a functional catalyst for photosynthetic phosphorylation (5Arnon D.I. Whatley F.R. Allen M.B. Triphosphopyridine nucleotide as a catalyst of photosynthetic phosphorylation..Nature. 1957; 180: 182-185Crossref PubMed Scopus (39) Google Scholar); and photosynthetic pyridine nucleotide reductase (PPNR), which is catalytically active for pyridine nucleotide reduction in illuminated chloroplasts (6San Pietro A. Lang H.M. Accumulation of reduced pyridine nucleotides by illuminated grana..Science. 1956; 124: 118-119Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) Classic reprinted here reports on the isolation of the last protein factor, PPNR. Anthony San Pietro, a young faculty member at Johns Hopkins University, and his research assistant, Helga M. Lang, had previously shown that when NADP was incubated with chloroplast grana, NADPH accumulated in the reaction mixture, provided that high concentrations of grana and NADP were used (6San Pietro A. Lang H.M. Accumulation of reduced pyridine nucleotides by illuminated grana..Science. 1956; 124: 118-119Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). Preliminary experiments also showed that reduction of pyridine nucleotides could occur at low grana concentrations if a soluble extract from chloroplasts was added. This Classic describes San Pietro and Lang's isolation of the enzyme from chloroplast extracts that was needed for the photochemical reduction of NADP. Using chloroplasts from whole spinach leaves, San Pietro and Lang extracted the enzyme and precipitated it. They confirmed that the enzyme did indeed catalyze the transfer of hydrogen to pyridine nucleotides and determined some of its properties. Based on these properties and the role of the enzyme in photosynthesis, San Pietro and Lang suggested it be named “photosynthetic pyridine nucleotide reductase.” Subsequent studies showed that methemoglobin-reducing factor, triphosphopyridine nucleotide-reducing factor, and PPNR were the same chemical compound, and they were collectively referred to as PPNR. In 1962, Tagawa and Arnon compared PPNR and a new electron carrier called “ferredoxin,” which was discovered in the hydrogenase system of Clostridium pasteurianum. They revealed that while one enzyme was involved in bacterial hydrogen generation and the other in higher plant NADP photoreduction, they were functionally similar and were interchangeable non-heme-iron proteins (7Tagawa K. Arnon D.I. Ferredoxins as electron carriers in photosynthesis and in the biological production and consumption of hydrogen gas..Nature. 1962; 195: 537-543Crossref PubMed Scopus (358) Google Scholar). Thus, PPNR became known as ferredoxin. San Pietro continued his work on photosynthesis and later isolated transhydrogenase, the enzyme that transfers hydrogen from NADPH, formed by PPNR, to NAD (8Keister D.L. San Pietro A. Stolzenbach F.E. Pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase from spinach. I. Purification and properties..J. Biol. Chem. 1960; 235: 2989-2996Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). This was the basis of his Transhydrogenase Theory, which states that illuminated grana reduce NADP in the presence of PPNR and transhydrogenase then reduces NAD using reduced NADP. In 1962, San Pietro joined the Charles F. Kettering Research Laboratory in Yellow Springs, Ohio. While at the Kettering lab, he extended his research to include chromatophores of photosynthetic bacteria. During his 6 years at the Kettering, San Pietro and his group published some 40 papers, and he organized three Symposia that attracted scientists from around the world who were working on photosynthesis and the synthesis of proteins during cellular differentiation. San Pietro moved to the University of Indiana at Bloomington in 1968 to chair the Department of Plant Sciences. While serving as Chairman, he maintained an active laboratory for investigating the mechanisms of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and published over 160 papers. Currently San Pietro is an Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry at Indiana University. He edited several of the photosynthetic volumes of Methods in Enzymology and also served on the Editorial Board of the JBC. He was honored for his outstanding scientific achievements by election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1983. 1All biographical information on Anthony San Pietro was taken from Refs. 9Vernon L.P.
