摘要

The green phototrophic bacteria contain a unique complement of chlorophyll pigments, which self-assemble efficiently into antenna structures known as chlorosomes with little involvement of protein. The few proteins found in chlorosomes have previously been thought to have a primarily structural function. The biosynthetic pathway of the chlorosome pigments, bacteriochlorophylls c, d, and e, is not well understood. In this report, we used spectroscopic, proteomic, and gene expression approaches to investigate the chlorosome proteins of the green filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus. Surprisingly, Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester (oxidative) cyclase, AcsF, was identified under anaerobic growth conditions. The AcsF protein was found in the isolated chlorosome fractions, and the proteomics analysis suggested that significant portions of the AcsF proteins are not accessible to protease digestion. Additionally, quantitative real-time PCR studies showed that the transcript level of the acsF gene is not lower in anaerobic growth than in semiaerobic growth. Since the proposed enzymatic activity of AcsF requires molecular oxygen, our studies suggest that the roles of AcsF in C. aurantiacus need to be investigated further.
