A cell-free system exhibiting both photophosphorylation (P/2e= 1) and oxidative phosphoryltion (P/O up to 0.8) is described for the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis. NADH ant NADPH were found to be equally effective as electron donors for oxidative phosphorylation. Low concentrations of UHDBT, an inhibitor of the cytochrome b/c complex of mitochondria ant loroplasts, were found to inhibit photosystem-II electron transport reactions, but did not affet the cytochrome b6/f-complex of Anabaena. The inhibition by myxothiazol, antimycin and heptyihydroxyquinoline corroborates the hypothesis that both respiration and photosynthesis share the cytochrome b6/f-complex.

Soluble extracts of the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 and an engineered mutant that lacks an intracellular protease cleaving after Lys and Arg (Maldener, Lockau, Cai, and Wolk, Mol. Gen. Genet. 225, 113-120 (1991)) were separated by ion exchange chromatography, and protease profiles determined using azocasein, Nα-benzoyl-ᴅ,ʟ arginine- 4-nitroanilide and N-carbobenzoxy-glycyl-ʟ-proline-4-nitroanilide as substrates. A second enzyme cleaving at the carboxyl side of lysine and arginine, and a prolyl endopeptidase were detected, enriched and characterized. Both proteolytic enzymes appear to be located in the periplasm.
