RESUMO
A galactolipid lipase from primary bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves has been used to partially deplete spinach chloroplast inner membranes of their galactolipids. Chloroplasts treated with the lipase in the absence of bovine serum albumin lost 91% of their monogalactosyl diglyceride, 83% of their digalactosyl diglyceride, all of their phosphatidyl choline, but none of their sulfolipid. Electron microscopy of this sections revealed that the treated chloroplasts were greatly enlarged and lacked membrane stacking. Linolenic acid had similar effects on the structure of the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll, carotenoids, and coupling factor 1 remained bound to the treated membranes.
