Stroma Protein

Stroma Protein. The product of Snail gene is a repressor of Ecadherin transcription and an inductor of the epithelialtomesenchymal transition in several epithelial tumor cell lines In order to examine Snail expression in animal and human tissues we have raised a monoclonal antibody (MAb) that reacts with the r.

Stroma protein and stroma lipides vary in different types of

TerminologyStructureFunctionEvolutionReactionsFormationApplicationsMechanismChemistryOther animalsDerived from the Greek word for layer or bed covering stroma could also refer to other supporting structures such as the connective tissues in organs or the fungal tissue that carries spores Microscopic examination of the chloroplast reveals certain obvious features It is made of an outer membrane and an intricate network of inner membranes forming stacks of disclike structures called grana Different grana are connected to each other through membranous extensions The inner membranes contain chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments involved in harvesting light energy Their obvious cytological appearance and the presence of primary pigments bestowed importance upon the inner membrane grana and their component thylakoids However when the outer membrane of the chloroplast was broken it was found that carbon fixation and reduction stopped In other words the transparent aqueous matrix or stroma that appeared to merely support the pigmented substructures seemed to play an important role in photosynthesis The chloroplast is an unusual organelle because it carries out the most important activity of the plant cell while also containing its own genome A number of genes necessary for its function have also been integrated into the nuclear genome Therefore it needs to be able to modify its metabolic activity to complement the work of the cell The stroma is essential for this because not only does it contain the enzymes necessary for carbon fixation it also manages the chloroplast response to cellular stresses and signaling between various organelles It plays an important role in both the lightdependent and lightindependent reactions of photosynthesis Under extreme stress the stroma can selectively undergo autophagy without destroying the inner membranous structures and pigment molecules Fingerlike protrusions from the stroma that do not contain any thylakoids are also seen to be closely associated with the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum contributing to sophisticated regulatory mechanisms Photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII) on the thylakoid membrane contain pigments that can harness light energy and use it to release high energy electrons These electrons move through various membranebound proteins such as cytochrome b6f complex or plastoquinone (pq) where simultaneous oxidation and reduction (redox) reactions occur These reactions harvest some of the energy of the electron in addition to pumping protons against their concentration gradient from the stroma into the thylakoid lumen When these protons flow back into the stroma the action of a membranebound ATP Synthase powers the formation of ATP molecules PSI is also involved in the formation of the reduced coenzyme NADPH in the stroma through the activity of ferrodoxin Thus the stroma contains the end products of the lightdependent reactions ATP and NADPH setting the stage for the next steps in photosynthesis While the stroma in every tissue or organ has some generic roles such as transport of fuel and metabolites as well as structural support in some organs they have specific functions The stroma in endocrine glands support the formation of hormones in the follicles and lobules of the organ In the thymus the stroma influences the differentiation of Tcells through positive or negative selection Organs that need to respond quickly to the changing demands of the organism such as the bone marrow or the iris of the eye also need specialized stroma The stroma of the bone marrow is not directly involved in hematopoiesis but creates the microenvironment that enhances the activity of cells involved in the formation of blood The stroma produces growth factors contains cells involved in bone metabolism has fat cells as well as macrophages Macrophages are particularly important because they are involved in the turnover of red blood cells and provide the iron needed for the production of hemoglobin Chloroplasts evolved from freeliving prokaryotes that formed an endosymbiotic relationship with some eukaryotic cells Therefore the stroma continues to contain DNA and ribosomes to perform protein synthesis These proteins include those that are important in the lightindependent reactions of photosynthesis as well as reactions that fix inorganic minerals such as nitrates in organic molecules The most important enzyme in the lightindependent reactions or the Calvin cycle is RuBisCO or Ribulose15bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase This enzyme catalyzes the first step of the lightindependent reactions involving carbon fixation RuBisCO captures atmospheric carbon dioxide that has diffused into the chloroplast stroma and fixes it in the form of an organic molecule Every molecule of CO2 combines with one molecule of RuBP containing five carbon atoms to give rise to two molecules of phosphoglycerate which are threecarbon molecules The Calvin cycle has two more steps that occur in the stroma reduction of phosphoglycerate and the regeneration of RuBP These steps involve the use of ATP and NADPH Overall the lightindependent reactions use two molecules of NADPH and three molecules of ATP to fix one molecule of atmospheric CO2 Abiotic stresses such as temperature or salinity fluctuations or nutrient deprivation can lead to the formation of fingerlike protrusions from the chloroplast called stromules Stromules have been observed in alpine plants exposed to higher temperatures They do not contain grana or thylakoids and are also seen in greater numbers under the influence of nutrient deprivation or infection by pathogens Under severe stress the chloroplast attempts to respond to the event by selectively targeting stromal proteins for autophagy into a vacuole This stressinduced autophagy is mediated by the formation of an isolation membrane that excludes thylakoids and grana This membrane is eventually removed from the chloroplast and targeted for degradation in a vacuole This process can be observed microscopically through the appearance of RuBisCO and other stromalocalized fluorescent proteins in the vacuole The stroma is the site for the three steps involved in the Calvin Cycle carbon fixation reduction and regeneration Carbon fixation begins with the reaction between one molecule of CO2 and one molecule of RuBP These six carbon atoms and two phosphate groups come together to form two molecules of phosphoglycerate a threecarbon molecule containing one phosphate group This reaction is repeated thrice to give rise to six molecules of phosphoglycerate In the next step phosphoglycerate accepts electrons to form glyceraldehyde3phosphate (G3P) The driving force for this reduction reaction comes from the conversion of NADPH to NADP+ and ATP to ADP Thus ADP and NADP+ are regenerated for use in the lightdependent reactions This leaves one final step the regeneration of RuBP Of the six molecules of G3P generated in the previous step five are used in the reformation of RuBP and the sixth is exported from the chloroplast to make glucose In animals stroma refers to those cells and tissues that support the key functional elements of an organ For instance in a heart the muscle fibers and neurons perform the main function while the cells of the coronary circulatory system and immune system form the stroma In addition stroma also consists of noncellular components such as collagen fibers glycoproteins and glycolipids that provide the structural framework for the tissue and organ.
