空心莲子草K~+吸收的动力学研究

溶液培养120～180天的空心莲子草的最大吸K_+速率为1.8～2.1μmol·g~(-1) FW·h~(-1);K_m值8.0～14.0μM,比一般农作物的都小;开始在体内累积K~+的外液K~+浓度小于0.2μM。空心莲子草在自然土壤和水体环境中能较快地富集钾素。 NH_4~+浓度100μM以上对K~+吸收有显著抑制作用,和对照相比抑制达50％以上,而Na~+则需大于500μM时才对K~+吸收有显著影响。     

钠盐和氯盐胁迫下胡杨木质部汁液ABA、离子浓度和叶片气体交换的变化

研究了渗透胁迫和盐胁迫下一年生胡杨(Populus euphratica Oliv.)幼苗的木质部汁液脱落酸(ABA)、离子浓度及叶片气体交换的变化.PEG 6000 (溶液渗透势 -0.24 MPa)、50 mmol/L含钠离子的盐溶液 (NaNO3∶NaHCO3∶NaH2PO4=5∶4∶1, pH 6.8, 渗透势 -0.24 MPa)和50 mmol/L含氯离子的盐溶液 (KCl∶NH4Cl=1∶1, 渗透势 -0.24 MPa) 3种处理都显著降低了苗木的净光合速率(Pn)和蒸腾速率(TRN),但盐处理植株的TRN高于PEG处理的苗木.木质部汁液ABA的浓度在PEG处理后1 h达到峰值,之后开始下降,降到对照水平后又逐渐回升.盐处理苗木的ABA也是在处理开始后就迅速升高,但之后ABA水平明显高于PEG处理的植株.结果显示,渗透胁迫和离子胁迫都能提高胡杨木质部汁液ABA的浓度: 盐处理开始后ABA的迅速升高主要是渗透胁迫的作用,而此后离子胁迫(Na+和Cl-)对ABA水平的提高具有重要作用.钠盐处理对胡杨净光合速率和蒸腾速率的抑制作用高于氯盐处理,其木质部汁液中较高水平的ABA和盐离子(Na+和Cl-)是可能的原因.钠盐处理苗木的盐离子(Na+和Cl-)水平高于氯盐处理,主要是由以下两方面的原因所致: (1)细胞膜上的Ca2+被Na+所取代, 增加了膜的透性; (2)胡杨根细胞液泡对Na+的区隔化能力较弱(与区隔Cl-相比).另外,盐胁迫下胡杨能保持对营养元素K+、Ca2+和Mg2+的吸收,这也是其抗盐性强的重要原因.     

盐胁迫对3种平欧杂种榛幼苗叶片解剖结构及离子吸收、运输与分配的影响

研究盐胁迫下3个品种平欧杂种榛幼苗叶片解剖结构和离子代谢特征,以揭示盐胁迫响应与适应机制及不同品种的耐盐性差异。以‘达维’、‘辽榛7号’、‘玉坠’2年生压条苗为材料,在盆栽条件下经轻度、中度、重度(分别为50、100、200 mmol/L NaCl)盐胁迫处理,设对照为0,研究幼苗叶片显微解剖结构参数和Na~+、K~+、Cl~-、Ca²⁺含量的变化及其在根、茎、叶中的吸收、运输和分配特征。不同品种平欧杂种榛叶片厚度、上表皮厚度、下表皮厚度、栅栏组织和海绵组织厚度随着盐胁迫程度的增强呈现出先增加后降低的特点,轻度和中度胁迫下各参数显著高于对照。中度盐胁迫显著提高了各品种叶片结构紧密度。盐胁迫导致平欧杂种榛根、茎、叶Na~+和Cl~-含量明显高于对照。盐胁迫下,Na~+和Cl~-在叶中的绝对含量明显高于茎和根,但二者的增幅以根中最大,叶中最小,表明平欧杂种榛根系首先会吸收并截留一定数量的Na~+和Cl~-,然后将其运输至茎和叶中。与对照相比,轻度和中度盐胁迫下根、茎对K~+和Ca²⁺的吸收保持稳定或减少,叶对K~+和Ca²⁺...     

Na~+、K~+离子通道阻滞剂对离体大鼠黄体细胞孕酮生成的影响

本工作用二种离子通道阻断剂四乙胺(TEA)和河豚毒素(TTX)来研究 Na~+、K~+通道的改变对大鼠黄体细胞孕酮生成的影响。10~(-3)mol/L 的 TEA 或 TTX 均使孕酮分泌量显著增加,而这种促进效应可被酪氨酸(Tyr)完全阻断。Tyr 对 TEA 或 TTX 与 hCG 联合所引起的孕酮分泌也有抑制作用。上述实验说明跨黄体细胞内外的 K~+和 Na~+浓度差与孕酮分泌有关。     

稀土离子(La~(3+)、Nd~(3+)、Ho~(3+)、Yb~(3+))对人红细胞膜Na~+/K~+ ATPase作用的初步研究

本文以低渗法从新鲜健康人红细胞中制得膜Na~+/K~+ ATPase,用于研究四种鑭系稀土离子(La~(3+)、Nd~(3+)、Ho~(3+)、Yb~(3+))对该酶的影响。结果表明,四种鑭系离子都对红细胞膜Na~+/K~+ ATPase的活性有抑制作用。当反应体系中的稀土离子浓度达50μmol/L时,Na~+/K~+ ATPase的活性所剩不多;低于50μmol/L鑭系离子时,以Nd~(3+)的抑制作用最强;金属离子螯合剂能阻止稀土离子对Na~+/K~+ ATPase的抑制作用。此项研究为稀土的生物效应的理论提供了一些新的证据。     

盐胁迫下不同基因型冬小麦渗透及离子的毒害效应

以4种不同基因型冬小麦为试验材料,利用分根法研究了盐胁迫对小麦的渗透胁迫和离子毒害的效应。结果表明,在盐胁迫下,小麦既受渗透胁迫,也受盐离子胁迫。渗透胁迫效应比较快,大约在处理后1-2d内发生;离子毒害效应比较缓慢,大约需3-4d时间。在一半盐胁迫(200mmol/L NaCl)和一半非盐胁迫的分根条件下,小麦没有明显的渗透胁迫效应,小麦植株地上部Na⁺ 累积到毒性水平之前盐处理对小麦生长无抑制效应。小麦具有将Na⁺ 从盐胁迫一侧转移非盐一侧的能力,说明小麦吸收的Na⁺ 有一部分可以从地上部回流到根系中,回流率可达76%-89%。无水分胁迫(不加入PEG)的回流率大于水分胁迫(加入PEG)的回流率。不同基因型小麦在盐分吸收累积和回流,及渗透和离子胁迫的速度和程度等方面具有明显差异。NR 9405和小偃6号的Na⁺ 累积速度要少于陕229和RB 6;NR 9405根系排Na⁺ 能力强于陕229和RB 6。因此,NR 9405和小偃6号的耐盐性高于陕229和RB 6。

大鼠脑室内注射ANGⅡ和ANGⅡ抗体对尿钠排出和肾皮质Na~+·K~+-ATPase的影响

在麻醉大鼠的侧脑室注射16pg血管紧张素Ⅱ(ANGⅡ),15min内出现尿钠增多的反应并持续90min,平均动脉血压保持稳定。肾皮质Na~+·K~+-ATPase活性(1.51±0.26μmolPi/mg Pro·h)显著低于侧脑室注射人工脑脊液的对照值(2.66±0.28μmol Pi/mg Pro·h,P<0.01),而侧脑室注射ANGⅡ抗体后5min内则出现尿钠减少的反应并持续135min。肾皮质Na~+·K~+-ATPase活性(3.61±0.34μmol Pi/mg Pro·h)显著高于对照值(P<0.05)。股静脉和脊髓蛛网膜下腔分别注射16pg ANGⅡ,均未出现尿钠增多的反应。结果表明,脑内的内源性ANGⅡ具有引起尿钠增多的作用;并提示这种作用可能与肾脏Na~+·K~+-ATPase活性的抑制有关。     

Ca~(++)促进大麦根K~+吸收的过程分析

吸收溶液中CaCl_2促进了大麦根K~+净吸收,Ca~(++)本身对H~+分泌无影响,Cl~-减少了H~+净分泌量。 含有~(86)Rb的大麦根在1m mol/L KCl溶液中发生~(86)Rb外流,在H_2O、1m mol/L NaCl或0.5 m mol/L CaCl_2中没有明显外流。VO_4~(3-)、NaN_3和4℃低温均可以减少根段在1m mol/L KCl溶液中的~(86)Rb外流量。Ca~(++)抑制K~+(~(86)Rb~+)的外流,EDTA加剧外流,Ca~(++)可以逆转EDTA的效应。 Ca~(++)抑制K~+(~(86)Rb)外流和促进K~+净吸收的趋势相吻合。K~+吸收的通量分析结果表明,Ca~(++)抑制K~+通过质膜的外流,促进K~+由细胞质向液泡中转运,而不影响K~+通过质膜的内流速率。     

根环境供氧状况对盐胁迫下棉花幼苗光合及离子吸收的影响

以溶液培养的棉花(Gossypium hirsutum L.)幼苗为材料,测定了不同盐胁迫程度和不同根环境供氧状况条件下棉花幼苗的叶片气体交换参数、叶绿素荧光参数和植株的Na~+、K~+离子含量等的变化,以探索根环境供氧状况对盐胁迫下棉花光合作用和离子吸收的影响。结果表明,盐胁迫和根环境供氧不足均导致净光合速率下降。在处理后的前期,盐胁迫对棉花叶片光合作用的不利影响大于供氧不足(不通气)的影响,而后期根环境供氧不足的不利影响快速增大,并逐渐超过盐胁迫的影响。在低浓度盐胁迫和根环境不通气处理的初期,棉花叶片光合速率下降的主要原因是气孔因素(气孔关闭或部分关闭引起的CO_2供应不足);随着盐胁迫程度的增大和胁迫持续时间的延长,光合速率下降的原因逐渐转变为非气孔因素(光合系统损伤引起的光合能力下降)。相同程度盐胁迫下,根环境通气处理的棉花叶片的净光合速率和PSⅡ最大光化学效率等均显著高于根环境不通气处理的,说明根环境供氧不足加重了盐胁迫对光合作用的不利影响。对棉花植株各器官离子积累量的测定、分析发现,盐胁迫导致了棉花根系拒Na~+、吸K~+的能力和选择性运输K~+的能力降低,使棉花根系和叶片的Na~+含量增多、K~+含量减少、[Na~+]/[K~+]比值升高;而根环境通气则可显著提高盐胁迫下根系的拒Na~+、吸K~+能力和根系向叶片选择性运输K~+的能力,降低根系和叶片的[Na~+]/[K~+]比值。试验还发现,根系K~+、Na~+含量受盐胁迫的影响较大,而叶片K~+、Na~+含量受根环境通气状况的影响更大一些。综合分析可见,盐胁迫和根环境供氧不足均可导致棉花叶片光合速率下降、光合机构损伤以及离子平衡失调,而根环境通气可以缓解盐胁迫对棉花叶片光合作用的不利影响、增加根系和叶片对K~+的选择吸收和积累、降低[Na~+]/[K~+]比值,从而增强棉花植株对盐胁迫的适应性和抵抗力。     

盐度变化对克氏原螯虾渗透调节影响机制的初步研究

本文研究了克氏原螯虾在盐度变化下血淋巴渗透压、鳃丝Na+-K+-ATPase活力和生物胺的变化过程和特征。结果显示：盐度变化（0－20‰）对克氏原螯虾血淋巴渗透压、鳃丝Na+-K+-ATPase活力和生物胺含量影响显著(p<0.05),而对照组无明显变化。在实验时间内各处理组血淋巴渗透压随盐度变化增大而升高,1－2d后趋于稳定,鳃丝Na+-K+-ATPase活力逐渐降低,6d后保持稳定,且渗透压正相关性,酶活力与盐度呈负相关性;各处理组在实验时间内血淋巴和鳃丝多巴胺、去甲肾上腺素、5-羟色胺含量均呈峰值变化,血淋巴中多巴胺、5-羟色胺含量分别在1d和3d时达到最小值和最大值,且变化过程分别与盐度变化值呈负和正相关性,并分别在6d和9d后趋于稳定,而各处理组的NE含量（除盐度为4的处理组）在0.5d内迅速升高,0.5－3d内略有波动,然后呈下降趋势,至15d时保持稳定;各处理组鳃丝多巴胺、去甲肾上腺素和5-羟色胺含量均于2d时达到最大值,且变化过程均与盐度变化值呈正相关性,均在9d后趋于稳定;稳定后各处理组血淋巴和鳃丝生物胺含量均与对照组无显著性差异。这些结果表明,在外界盐度变化下生物胺作为一种神经内分泌因子,在甲壳动物的渗透压调节过程中发挥重要作用,可引发甲壳动物产生的渗透调节过程,如激活鳃丝已有的Na+-K+-ATPase活力、调节血淋巴渗透压效应物含量以适应外界环境的变化。     

A model for cation content of plants based on surface potentials and surface charge densities of plant membranes

The model presented takes into account the interaction between the negatively charged membranes and macromolecules and the cations. A central postulate is that a constant average surface charge density (σ) as well as a constant average surface potential (Ψ) is conserved under different ionic conditions. The model makes it possible to predict the size of σ and Ψ from measurements of Na, K, Mg and Ca content in plant tissues of the same age but grown under two different ionic conditions (e.g. high and low K⁺). Assumptions were made about the relative amounts of free and bound Ca²⁺ and σ and Ψ were calculated from values in the literature. In all cases σ (and Ψ) are predicted to be higher for shoot (−29 to −96 mC m⁻²) than for root membranes (−14 to −27 mC m⁻²). In most cases the predicted σ falls within the range determined experimentally for biological membranes.     

The Ca 2+ pumps and the Na + / Ca 2+ exchangers

The Ca 2+ ATPases or Ca 2+ pumps transport Ca 2+ ions out of the cytosol, by using the energy stored in ATP. The Na + / Ca 2+ exchanger uses the chemical energy of the Na + gradient (the Na + concentration is much higher outside than inside the cell) to remove Ca 2+ from the cytosol. Ca 2+ pumps are found in the plasma membrane and in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells. The pumps are probably present in the membrane of other organelles, but little experimental information is available on this matter. The Na + / Ca 2+ exchangers are located on the plasma membrane. A Na + / Ca 2+ exchanger was found in the mitochondria, but very little is known on its structure and sequence. These transporters control the Ca 2+ concentration in the cytosol and are vital to prevent Ca 2+ overload of the cells. Their activity is controlled by different mechanisms, that are still under investigation. A number of the possible isoforms for both types of proteins has been detected.© Kluwer Academic Publishers     

Puccinellia tenuiflora maintains a low Na+ level under salinity by limiting unidirectional Na+ influx resulting in a high selectivity for K+ over Na+

Puccinellia tenuiflora is a useful monocotyledonous halophyte that might be used for improving salt tolerance of cereals. This current work has shown that P. tenuiflora has stronger selectivity for K⁺ over Na⁺ allowing it to maintain significantly lower tissue Na⁺ and higher K⁺ concentration than that of wheat under short- or long-term NaCl treatments. To assess the relative contribution of Na⁺ efflux and influx to net Na⁺ accumulation, unidirectional ²²Na⁺ fluxes in roots were carried out. It was firstly found that unidirectional ²²Na⁺ influx into root of P. tenuiflora was significantly lower (by 31–37%) than in wheat under 100 and 150 m m NaCl. P. tenuiflora had lower unidirectional Na⁺ efflux than wheat; the ratio of efflux to influx was similar between the two species. Leaf secretion of P. tenuiflora was also estimated, and found the loss of Na⁺ content from leaves to account for only 0.0006% of the whole plant Na⁺ content over 33 d of NaCl treatments. Therefore, it is proposed that neither unidirectional Na⁺ efflux of roots nor salt secretion by leaves, but restricting unidirectional Na⁺ influx into roots with a strong selectivity for K⁺ over Na⁺ seems likely to contribute to the salt tolerance of P. tenuiflora .     

Cardiac sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchange and Na+-K+ ATPase activities and gene expression in alloxan-induced diabetes in rats

To determine the sequence of alterations in cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) Na⁺-Ca²⁺ exchange, Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and Ca²⁺-transport activities during the development of diabetes, rats were made diabetic by an intravenous injection of 65 mg/kg alloxan. SL membranes were prepared from control and experimental hearts 1-12 weeks after induction of diabetes. A separate group of 4 week diabetic animals were injected with insulin (3 U/day) for an additional 4 weeks. Both Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase activities were depressed as early as 10 days after alloxan administration; Mg²⁺ ATPase activity was not depressed throughout the experimental periods. Both Na⁺-Ca²⁺ exchange and ATP-dependent Ca²⁺-uptake activities were depressed in diabetic hearts 2 weeks after diabetes induction. These defects in SL Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and Ca-transport activities were normalized upon treatment of diabetic animals with insulin. Northern blot analysis was employed to compare the relative mRNA abundances of _--subunit of Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and Na⁺-Ca²⁺ exchanger in diabetic ventricular tissue vs. control samples. At 6 weeks after alloxan administration, a significant depression of the Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase _-- subunit mRNA was noted in diabetic heart. A significant increase in the Na⁺-Ca²⁺ exchanger mRNA abundance was observed at 3 weeks which returned to control by 5 weeks. The results from the alloxan-rat model of diabetes support the view that SL membrane abnormalities in Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase, Na⁺Ca²⁺ exchange and Ca²⁺-pump activities may lead to the occurrence of intracellular Ca²⁺ overload during the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy but these defects may not be the consequence of depressed expression of genes specific for those SL proteins.     

Active calcium transport via coupling between the enzymatic and the ionophoric sites of Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPase

The 20K dalton fragment of Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺-ATPase obtained from the tryptically digested sarcoplasmic reticulum has been further purified using Bio-Gel P-100. This removed low-molecular-weight UV-absorbing and positive Lowry-reacting contaminants. The ionophoric activity of the 20K fragment in both oxidized cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine: cholesterol membranes is unaltered by this further purification. The 20K selectivity sequence in phosphatidylcholine: cholesterol membranes is Ba²⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Sr²⁺ > Mn²⁺ Mg²⁺. Digestion of intact sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with trypsin, which results in the dissection of the hydrolytic site (30K) from the ionophoric site (20K), is shown to disrupt energy transduction between ATP hydrolysis and calcium transport. This further implicates the 20K dalton fragment as a calcium transport site. These data and previous evidence are discussed in terms of a proposed model for the ATPase molecular structure and the mechanism of cation transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum.     

Varietal variation in uptake and utilization of potassium (rubidium) in high-salt seedlings of barley

Seedlings of eleven varieties of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) showed differences in utilization of K⁺ from a full nutrient solution containing 3.0 mM K⁺. The K⁺ content of both roots and shoots was proportional to the fresh weights and dry weights after a week in the nutrient solution. The K⁺ use-efficiency ratio, which indicates the efficiency of nutrient utilization (mg dry weight produced per mg K⁺ absorbed), differed significantly among the varieties. There was no correlation between influx of Rb⁺ and the content of K⁺. It is suggested that there are wide varietal differences in such genetically-determined properties as ion influx and efflux and net ion transport to the shoot. Further-more, the influx of Rb⁺ was closely linked to transpiration, probably due to a variety-specific non-metabolic part of Rb⁺ influx. Varietal differences in influx of Rb⁺ were more pronounced in high-K⁺ roots than in low-K⁺ roots with maximum rate of Rb⁺ uptake, but the rank of varieties was the same in each case. – Criteria for the selection of K⁺ use-efficient varieties of barley are discussed.     

Isolation and characterization of cytoplasmic NADP+-malic enzyme from Lupinus luteus leaves

NADP⁺-dependent malic enzyme (L-malate : NADP⁺ oxidoreductase, decarboxylating, EC 1.1.1.40) was extracted from the leaves of yellow lupine. The purification procedure included fractionation with (NH₄)₂SO₄ and Sephadex G-25 chromatography, followed by purification on DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 columns. The enzyme was purified 122-fold. The enzyme affinity towards L-malate was found to be significantly higher with Mn²⁺ than with Mg²⁺. The Hill coefficient for Mg²⁺ depended on concentration and was 1.6 for the lower and 3.9 for the higher concentrations. The dependence of the enzyme activity on NADP⁺ followed a hyperbolic curve. K_m values and Hill coefficients for NADP⁺ were similar with both Mn²⁺ and Mg²⁺. The enzyme activity was strictly dependent on divalent cations and followed a sigmoidal curve at least for Mg²⁺. The enzyme had 4-fold higher affinity towards Mn²⁺ than towards Mg²⁺, the K_m values being 0.3 and 1.15 m M respectively. Of several tested organic acids, oxalate was the most effective inhibitor followed by oxaloacetate while succinate was the strongest activator.
