“…Although no complete sequence is available for K-casein, it is clear that there is a very non-uniform distribution of hydrophobic and charged groups (209). An acid-soluble fraction of casein has been isolated and contains rennin-sensitive components thought to be related to /c-casein (37,38,91); a temperature-sensitive casein fraction has also been described (218).…”

Effect of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaDDC) on chlorophyll fluorescence and HILL activity in Anucystis cells exhibited stimulation of both the processes in a concentration-dependent manner (SINCH et al. 1989). Treatment of cells with sodium dodecyl sulphate (1% w/v) and tris (0.5 M) resulted into further stimulation of NaDDC supported both fluorescence emission and HILL activity. Addition of energy consuming substrates like NaHCO, (3 mM) and 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA 1 mM) could bring about quenching of NaDDC stimulated fluorescence. However, fluorescence quenching of carbon substrates could be reversed in presence of D C M U (10 mM). Further. the results on cytochrome-c reduction, fluorescence emission and pigment absorption in the presence of NaDDC exhibited a pH dependence (6-8) of NaDDC on these processes with maximum effect at pH 6. NaDDC-induced general increase in the absorbance of pigments accompanied by hypsochromic shifts at 680 and 625 nm were indicative of conformational changes in the pigment protein complexes. The results with energy transfer inhibitors showed that uncouplers like FCCP (10 PM), Nigericin (10 p~) and NH,CI (1 mM) could significantly alter the effect of NaDDC on fluorescence emission and HILL activity, while antimycin (5 pg/ml) and N-ethylamaleimide (100 mM) had little effect. These results. taken together. suggested that NaDDC-induced build up of proton gradient might be resulting into cessation of electron transport and stimulation of fluorescence by exerting a back pressure on the charge separation property of membrane.
