Ca2+参与水霉菌丝细胞壁修饰的证据

以细胞壁崩溃酶-Driselflse短时间处理水霉(Saprozegma ferax)菌丝,pH5．0时可使原生质从菌丝亚顶端喷出,pH6．0～8．0时则不导致该现象发生;适当浓度EGTA的存在,可提高pH5．0时酶解引起的原生质喷出频率、使pH6．0～8．0时生长菌丝的顶端原生质也喷出、并且喷出多发生在菌丝最顶端;外加CaCl₂．不抑制菌丝顶端原生质的喷出,排除了Ca²⁺抑制酶活性的可能。随后的跟踪观察显示,长时间以缺Ca²⁺培养介质培养菌丝,同样能够导致菌丝顶端原生质喷出。上述研究结果表明,培养介质中Ca²⁺和H⁺对菌丝完整性的维持起调节作用,细胞壁上的Ca²⁺可能参与了水霉菌丝细胞壁物理特性的修饰。

钙离子在水霉(Saprolegnia ferax)菌丝顶端细胞壁中呈极性分布

焦锑酸钾处理的水霉(Saprolegnia ferax)菌丝显示:焦锑酸沉淀颗粒仅存在菌丝细胞壁而不是原生质中,并呈顶端到基部的极性分布,即在菌丝最顶端细胞壁中丰富致密、重叠在一起,在约3—10μm的亚顶端则变得稍为稀薄而可分辨,在约10μm以后的成熟区域进一步显得松散而无规律。焦锑酸沉淀颗粒可经EGTA螫合处理去除,并经X-射线微区分析证明在3.6—3.7keV区域可产生Sb和Ca元素混合峰,说明焦锑酸沉淀反映了Ca~(2 )的分布。对冷冻干燥菌丝细胞壁表面进行扫描电镜X-射线微区分析,同样证明菌丝细胞壁含有大量的Ca,菌丝最顶端Ca信号强度高于10μm以后的成熟区。由于Ca~(2 )和H~ 可能为一对拮抗因子维持菌丝顶端细胞壁可塑性和刚性间的平衡以保证菌丝顶端生长,我们检验了菌丝生长过程中培养介质的pH变化,证实培养介质pH随培养时间的延长而逐渐下降。上述结果提示细胞壁Ca~(2 )可能在菌丝顶端生长过程中起作用。     

pH影响Ca~(2 )和EGTA对水霉(Saprolegnia ferax)菌丝顶端生长的作用效应

水霉(Saprolegia ferax)菌丝在pH6.0-8.0的OM液体培养基中生长良好,在pH5.0时生长速率有所下降,在pH3.0—4.0时停止生长。短时间(30min)作用研究表明,低浓度的CaCl_2促进pH5.0(1—5mmol/L)和pH6.0(1mmol/L)条件下的菌丝顶端生长,抑制pH7.0—8.0条件下的菌丝生长。1mmol/L以上的EGTA则抑制pH5.0条件下菌丝顶端生长,促进pH6.0—8.0条件下的菌丝顶端生长。但CaCl_2和EGTA都不能使pH3.0—4.0条件下的菌丝恢复生长。长时间(8h)作用跟踪观察表明,2mmol/L EGTA(pH6.8)短时间作用可促进菌丝生长,但随着培养时间延长,则产生抑制作用,并诱导原生质从菌丝最顶端喷出。说明细胞壁Ca~(2 )起着提供胞外Ca~(2 )源和细胞壁修饰成分的双重作用。Ca~(2 )通道阻断剂verapamil对菌丝顶端生长的抑制作用也说明顶端生长所需的Ca~(2 )来自胞外。     

培养介质pH和EGTA对水霉(Saprolegnia ferax)菌丝细胞肌动蛋白的分布与结构的影响

菌丝在pH 5.0—8.0介质中维持顶端生长,Rhodamin-phalloidin荧光探针显示在菌丝顶端都存在F-actin的“帽子”结构;加入EGTA到培养介质中不影响菌丝的顶端生长和actin的“帽子”结构。值得注意的是:菌丝的Rhodamin-phalloidin荧光强度大小与菌丝顶端生长速率成正比;在含有或不含有EGTA的pH5.0培养条件下,菌丝的生长速率均很低,且后部颗粒状的荧光斑点消失;在pH 3.0-4.0培养介质中菌丝生长停止,不但F-actin“帽子”结构消失,整个菌丝荧光也变得非常微弱无法观察,提示酸性pH可引起F-actin的解聚,从而导致生长速率下降甚至生长停止。

Ca2+对黄瓜子叶离体培养物花芽分化的影响

黄瓜子叶离体培养物分化培养0～8d期间,添加Ca2+有利于花芽分化,花芽分化率可从Ca2+0mmol/L的(7.9±5.6)%上升到Ca2+6mmol/L的(31.7±4.0)%;0～2d和2～4d无钙脉冲处理不利于花芽分化,高钙脉冲处理的花芽分化率比对照略高;4～6d和6～8d高钙脉冲不利花芽分化,而无钙脉冲处理使花芽分化率上升很多。尤其是在4～6d,高钙处理使花芽分化率从(22±1.5)%下降到(15.7±3.5)%。而无钙处理使花芽分化率从(22.4±1.4)%上升到(43±3.5)%。表明0～8d期间不同时间段对Ca2+的需求是有差别的。相关性分析表明0～8d期间外源Ca2+影响花芽分化率与总芽中花芽比例极显著相关,提示Ca2+可能影响子叶向花芽或营养芽分化的趋势。本文结合已报道的黄瓜子叶培养物花原基形成的时程,分析了Ca2+对花原基形成和分化的影响。

Cytokinin increases intracellular Ca2+ in Funaria: detection with Indo-1.

Changes in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) after cytokinin-treatment in protonema cells of the moss Funaria hygrometrica have been measured using the pentapotassium salt of Indo-1. The extent of dye loading strongly depended on lowering the pH of the incubation medium to 5.0. Exposing dye-loaded cells briefly with Mn2+ did not quench fluorescence suggesting that the source of fluorescence is from the cytoplasm and not from the cell wall. Indo-1 remains responsive to changes in [Ca2+]i in Funaria cells. The [Ca2+]i in quiescent cells (with and without extracellular Ca2+) is 250 nM, which is within the range of reported [Ca2+]i of other plant cells. Treatment of cells with extracellular cytokinin in 4 mM Ca2+ induced a three-fold increase in [Ca2+]i to 750 nM in target caulonema cells. This increase was not observed in Ca(2+)-free medium. These target cells respond to cytokinin treatment by an asymmetrical division, while non-target chloronema cells do not divide. Cytokinin appears to increase [Ca2+]i by extracellular Ca2+ uptake. However, non-target chloronema cells and tip cells also respond to cytokinin treatment by increasing [Ca2+]i. The differential physiological response of these cell types to hormonal stimulation must lie further down the signal transduction chain.     

Lupin peroxidases. II. Binding of acidic isoperoxidases to cell walls

Extracellular acidic isoperoxidases (EC 1.11.1.7), isolated from both the cell walls and intercellular spaces of lupin ( Lupinus albus L. cv. multolupa) hypocotyls, bound to water-insoluble pectins of wall fragments also isolated from the hypocotyls. The binding was sáturable by increasing the isoenzyme concentration in the assay medium and it was dependent on the pH; neutral pH (6.0–7.0) favoured release, while acidic pH (4.0–5.0) favoured the attachment to the cell wall. Binding of acidic isoperoxidases to wall fractions was correlated with the in vitro acid-induced growth of hypocotyl segments, and both were modulated in the same direction by the Ca²⁺/H⁺ ratio in the incubation media, although the two responses were clearly separated when the Ca²⁺/H⁺ ratio varied. Binding of acidic isoperoxidases of cell walls could operate as a fine control of the activity of these cell wall enzymes, although its physiological role in the cell wall stiffening remains unclear. Some aspects of Ca²⁺ on the control of peroxidase activity at this level are also discussed.     

Ionic and osmotic disruptions of the lily pollen tube oscillator: testing proposed models

Two mechanisms have been proposed as the primary control of oscillating tip growth in Lilium longiflorum Thunb. pollen tubes: changes in cell wall strength (Holdaway-Clarke et al. 1997) or alternatively, changes in turgor pressure (Messerli et al. 2000). Here we have modified the ionic and osmotic concentrations of the growth medium to test predictions derived from both models. Raising the [Ca2+]o tenfold above normal reduced the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i oscillations and growth oscillations while it raised the basal [Ca2+]i and growth rate such that the average growth rate did not change. Raising the [H+] of the growth medium tenfold reversibly decreased and sometimes eliminated the [Ca2+]i and growth oscillations without changing the average growth rate. Lowering the [H+] tenfold led to irregular frequency and amplitude [Ca2+]i oscillations, reduced the average growth rate of tubes and led to cell bursting in 33% of tubes. Addition of 50 mM H+ buffer, MES, to prevent pH changes in the cell wall increased the period, amplitude and duration of both [Ca2+]i and growth oscillations. Changing the [K+]o did not markedly effect [Ca2+]i oscillations. Reducing the osmolarity of the medium led to transient large-amplitude [Ca2+]i and growth oscillations while reducing large-amplitude oscillations over long periods. In many different conditions under which growth still occurs, lily pollen tubes maintain growth oscillations, albeit with modified frequency, amplitude and duration. We conclude that modifications to both proposed models are necessary to explain oscillating growth in this system.     

UV microirradiation implicates F-actin in reinforcing growing hyphal tips

Summary The cell walls of plants and fungi are thought to provide the strength required to resist turgor and thus maintain the integrity and morphology of these cells. However, during growth, walls must undergo rapid expansion which requires them to be plastic and therefore weak. In most tip-growing cells there is an apical concentration of F-actin associated with the rapidly expanding cell wall. Disruption of F-actin in the growing tips of hyphae ofSaprolegnia ferax by a localized irradiation, beginning 2–6 m behind the apex, with actin-selective 270 nm uv light caused the hyphae to burst, suggesting that actin supports the weak apical wall against turgor pressure. Bursting was pH dependent and Ca²⁺ independent at neutral pH. Hyphae burst in the very tip, where the cell wall is expected to be weakest and actin is most concentrated, as opposed to the lower part of the apical taper where osmotic shock induces bursting when actin is intact. When hyphae were irradiated with a wavelength of light that is less effective at disrupting actin, growth was slowed but they failed to burst, demonstrating that bursting was most likely due to F-actin damage. We conclude that F-actin reinforces the expanding apical wall in growing hyphae and may be the prime stress bearing structure resisting turgor pressure in tip growing cells.Abbreviations RP rhodamine phalloidin - F-actin filamentous actin - EGTA ethylene-glycol-bis-(-amino-ethyl ether) N,N-tetra-acetic acid - PIPES piperazine-N,N-bis-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) - uv ultraviolet     

Control by pH of Cell Wall Peroxidase Activity Involved in Lignification

pH affected both conyferyl alcohol (CA) oxidation and NADH-dependentH₂O₂ formation catalysed by cell wall-bound peroxidase fromlupin. The kinetics of CA oxidation shown at pH 5.0 was of theMichaelian-type, independently of the physical state (boundor soluble) of the enzyme in the cell wall, whereas at pH 8.0,it was cooperative. The affinity of the enzyme to H₂O₂and therate of H₂O₂ formation were higher at pH 8.0 than at pH 5.0.The kinetics of H₂O₂ formation at pH 8.0 was strongly cooperative.These results are discussed with respect to the important roleof pH in the regulation of cell wall peroxidase activities involvedin lignification.

Substrate regulation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase. Transient kinetic studies.

The rate of phosphorylation of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles by ITP and ATP was studied using a millisecond mixing and quenching device. The rate of phosphorylation was slower when the vesicles were preincubated in a Ca2+-free medium than when preincubated with Ca2+, regardless of the substrate used and of the pH of the medium. When the vesicles were preincubated with Ca2+ at pH 7.4 an overshoot of phosphorylation was observed in the presence of ITP. The overshoot was abolished when the pH of the medium was decreased to 6.0 or when the vesicles were preincubated in a Ca2+-free medium. Using vesicles preincubated with Ca2+ the apparent Km for ITP found was 2.5 mM at pH 6.0 and 1.0 mM at pH 7.4. The Vmax observed (77 mumol g-1 s-1) did not change with the pH of the medium. Both at pH 6.0 and 7.4 the apparent Km for ATP was 3 microM when preincubated in a Ca2+-free medium. At pH 6.0 the Vmax for ATP varied from 96 to 33 mumol g-1 s-1 depending on whether the vesicles were preincubated in the presence or absence of Ca2+. At pH 7.4 the Vmax for ATP was 90 mumol g-1 s-1 in both conditions. The rate of phosphorylation of the vesicles was dependent on the relative Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations of the reaction medium regardless of the substrate used.
