Antimycin A3 (AA) is used as an inhibitor of cyclic electron transport around photosystem I. However, the high concentrations of AA that are needed for inhibition have secondary effects, even in chloroplasts. Here, we screened for chemicals that inhibited ferredoxin-dependent plastoquinone reduction in ruptured chloroplasts at lower concentrations than those required for AA. We identified two AA-like compounds: AAL1 and AAL2. AAL1 likely shares an inhibitory site with AA, most probably in the PG ...[more]
