Abstract
Thylakoids isolated from spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea L. cvs. Monatol and Montako) were exposed to supraoptimal temperatures that inactivated their photochemical reactions. Membrane injury was accompanied by release of a small amount of membrane proteins. When sucrose was present during high‐temperature treatment, thylakoids were partially protected and release of membrane proteins was less pronounced than in the absence of sugar. From thylakoids, which were isolated from heat‐damaged spinach leaves, less protein was released when heated again after the isolation procedure, indicating that protein release also takes place during heat inactivation in vivo. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electropherograms of thylakoids demonstrated that heat inactivation of the lamellae was not accompanied by significant changes in the pattern of the proteins, which remained in the membranes. The same was found when thylakoids were solubilized with Triton X‐100 before and after heat damage. It is suggested that the protein release that occurs during heat treatment is a consequence of irreversible alterations in the membrane structure; these changes may be responsible for thermal damage of chloroplast membranes.
