镉在互花米草中积累、转运及亚细胞的分布

研究了在不同Cd浓度(0、5、100、200μg·g-1)处理下,互花米草花序、叶、茎、根茎、须根中Cd含量、积累量、转运特征,及Cd在互花米草体内的亚细胞分布。结果表明,Cd在互花米草不同器官中的积累能力存在较大差异。茎、根茎、须根中Cd含量及积累量随处理浓度的增加而升高,其中须根中Cd含量及积累量均高于其他器官。Cd处理浓度为100gμ·g-1时,花序和叶中Cd含量达到最大值,分别为8.65和7.82μg·g-1。在Cd处理浓度为200μg·g-1时,须根中Cd含量可高达390.00μg·g-1,积累量达3200μg·株-1。Cd在互花米草体内转运能力极低,绝大部分Cd积累在地下部位。Cd在互花米草亚细胞中的分布规律为细胞壁>胞液>细胞器。随着Cd处理浓度的增加,Cd在细胞壁中的分配比例增大,胞液中Cd分布比例则相应减小,细胞壁和胞液相互协调,增强互花米草对重金属Cd的耐性。

The subcellular distribution of carotenoids in Neurospora crassa

The intracellular localization of carotenoids in the fungus Neurospora crassa was examined after completion of photoinduced biosynthesis of these pigments. Differential centrifugation of cell homogenates yielded subcellular fractions which were characterized by activities of several marker enzymes for cell constituents and in part purified by subsequent sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Most (ca 58%) of the carotenoids were found to be localized in lipid globules, but substantial amounts are also associated with two membrane fractions that were rich in membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum as indicated by high activities of NADPH- and NADH—cytochrome c reductase. These results, along with the coincidence in the distribution of both carotenoids and activities of specific marker enzymes in the sucrose density gradients, led to the conclusion that apart from lipid globules, carotenoids are also localized in membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum.     

High Accumulation and Subcellular Distribution of Thallium in Green Cabbage (Brassica Oleracea L. Var. Capitata L.)

The accumulation of thallium (Tl) in brassicaceous crops is widely known, but both the uptake extents of Tl by the individual cultivars of green cabbage and the distribution of Tl in the tissues of green cabbage are not well understood. Five commonly available cultivars of green cabbage grown in the Tl-spiked pot-culture trials were studied for the uptake extent and subcellular distribution of Tl. The results showed that all the trial cultivars mainly concentrated Tl in the leaves (101～192 mg/kg, DW) rather than in the roots or stems, with no significant differences among cultivars (p = 0.455). Tl accumulation in the leaves revealed obvious subcellular fractionation: cell cytosol and vacuole >> cell wall > cell organelles. The majority (～ 88%) of leaf-Tl was found to be in the fraction of cytosol and vacuole, which also served as the major storage site for other major elements such as Ca and Mg. This specific subcellular fractionation of Tl appeared to enable green cabbage to avoid Tl damage to its vital organelles and to help green cabbage tolerate and detoxify Tl. This study demonstrated that all the five green cabbage cultivars show a good application potential in the phytoremediation of Tl-contaminated soils.     

Lead bioaccumulation,subcellular distribution and chemical form in sugarcane and its potential for phytoremediation of lead-contaminated soil

Abstract

Sugarcane is a promising species for lead (Pb) phytoextraction due to its large biomass and high tolerance toward Pb content. To understand the mechanisms involved in Pb tolerance and detoxification and its potential for phytoremediation in sugarcane, the bioaccumulation, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms of Pb in different tissues were investigated through pot cultivation sugarcane with increasing Pb concentrations in the present study. Results showed that sugarcane could tolerate high concentrations of Pb (up to 1250.0–1750.0?mg/kg); the Pb content in roots and shoots increased with increasing Pb concentration. A large amount of Pb content was stored in roots. The subcellular distribution of Pb in sugarcane revealed that the majority of Pb was bound to the cell wall. Meanwhile, the greatest amount of Pb was extracted by 2.0% acetic acid and 0.6?mol/L HCl, which indicated that most of Pb was combined with undissolved phosphate and oxalate. These results implied that the Pb formation of undissolved salts and compartmentalization in the cell wall may be a key strategy for Pb detoxicity and tolerance in sugarcane.     

Vanadium accumulation and subcellular distribution in relation to vanadate induced cytotoxicity in vitro

A bovine kidney cell culture system was used to assess the relationship of vandium uptake and subcellular distribution to orthovanadate induced cytotoxicity. Twenty-four hr incubations with 20–1000 µM vanadium elicited 15–75% cytotoxicity. Concentration-related morphological changes from the control polygonal shape to the treated biopolar appearance were detected. Vanadium accumulated in cells via a multiphasic process; peak accumulation was achieved by 1 hr post-treatment and was followed by apparent decline, completed by 3 hr. A slower second phase of accumulation occured during the remainder of the 24 hr incubation period. A concentration-dependent accumulation resulted in a 50-fold increase in cellular vanadium content. Near maximum toxicity was achieved at a cellular vandium burden of approximately 5 nmoles/ 10⁶ cells; further accumulation (up to 35 nmoles/ 10⁶ cells) resulted in only a slight increase in the degree of toxicity. Subcellular distribution studies indicated 90% accumulation of vanadium in the soluble supernatant fraction (105,000xg supernatant) at varying stages of cytotoxicity. It was concluded that the multifaceted dependency of vanadium cytotoxicity on its cellular content may have resulted from a cellular balancing between proposed regulatory functions for vanadium and the interactions incurred with an excessive content.Abbreviations EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - MDBK Madin Darby bovine kidney - MEM minimum essential medium - Na₃VO₄ sodium orthovanadate     

Investigation of selenium distribution in subcellular fractions of human liver by neutron activation analysis

Selenium is an important and essential trace element to living systems. In the article, two methods of instrumental neutron activation analysis and hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry were applied to determine Se in biological samples and the accuracy was evaluated by several reference materials. The subcellular distribution of selenium in human liver samples, which were obtained from normal subjects who had an accidental death, was investigated by differential centrifugation combined with INAA. Selenium was mainly enriched in mitochondria, nuclei, and cytosol. Almost half of the total Se content existed in nuclei as a result of the large amount in liver and the high Se concentration. Generally, the highest Se concentration in the mitochondrial fractions of each liver sample suggested that Se had important functions in this liver component.

Kinetics of the early subcellular distribution of cadmium in rat hepatocytes

The kinetics of the early subcellular distribution of cadmium (Cd) was characterized in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes exposed to 10, 50 and 100 M Cd in a serum-free WME medium for 10, 30 or 60 min. Our results demonstrate a time- and concentration-dependent increase in Cd content with the highest metal concentration measured in the cytosol, whereas the lowest was observed in the mitochondria. With the exception of early localization in the plasma membrane, Cd concentrations in fractions were characterized by the following decreasing order of magnitude: cytosol > low density molecules nuclei > lysosomes mitochondria. We also found evidence for: (i) a two-step process for Cd distribution in the nuclei and mitochondria; and (ii) a time-dependent slow process of transfer from the plasma membrane to the cytosol. Saturation in Cd uptake was observed at 50 M in most cell fractions at 10 and 30 min, except for the plasma membrane. The lack of apparent saturation for Cd accumulation at 60 min was not related to an increase in metallothionein synthesis. Altogether, our data provide insights into the dynamics of transfer between intracellular compartments, and allow a better identification of the organelles that are the most subjected to Cd toxicity for early exposure conditions.Deceased March 25, 2004.     

Effects of earthworm mucus and amino acids on cadmium subcellular distribution and chemical forms in tomato seedlings

In order to investigate the basic mechanism of earthworm activities enhancing plants growth and heavy metals accumulations. A hydroponic experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of earthworm mucus and mimic amino acids solution of earthworm mucus on cadmium (Cd) subcellular distributions and chemical forms in tomato seedlings. The result showed that earthworm mucus significantly increased the concentrations of Cd stored in soluble fraction in subcellular distribution and the concentrations of inorganic and soluble forms of Cd in tomato seedlings, which may explain the increase plants growth and Cd accumulation by earthworm mucus. Meanwhile, amino acids have same function as earthworm mucus, but the effect was much lower than of earthworm mucus. These results indicated that earthworm mucus could increase tomato seedlings growth and Cd accumulations through changing Cd subcellular distribution and chemical forms in plants.     

Objective evaluation of differences in protein subcellular distribution

Research on the cell and molecular biology of proteins involved in membrane traffic often requires determination of the effects of various experimental conditions on the subcellular distributions of those proteins. This is most often accomplished by acquiring fluorescence microscope images and visually comparing these images. While this approach is quite suitable for detecting major changes in distributions, it is not sensitive to small changes and does not permit a quantitative and objective analysis. We therefore describe the application of pattern analysis methods to the comparison of sets of fluorescence microscope images. This approach provides a high throughput and reproducible technique to determine whether image distributions differ within a specified statistical confidence, and is shown to resolve image sets indistinguishable by visual inspection.     

UDP-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase (OGT) in brain tissue: temperature sensitivity and subcellular distribution of cytosolic and nuclear enzyme

In brain tissue, UDP-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase (OGT) is known to catalyze the addition of a single N-acetylglucosamine moiety (GlcNAc) onto two proteins linked to the etiology of neurodegenerative disease--beta-amyloid associated protein and tau. Hyperphosphorylation of tau appears to cause neurofibrillary tangles and cell death, and a functional relationship appears to exist between phosphorylation and glycosylation. Since a greater understanding of brain OGT may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, we examined the characteristics and subcellular distribution of OGT protein and OGT activity and its relationship to O-linked glycosylation. We found that cytosolic OGT activity is 10 times more abundant in brain tissue compared with muscle, adipose, heart, and liver tissue. Temperature studies demonstrated that cytosolic OGT activity was stable at 24 degrees C but was rapidly inactivated at 37 degrees C (T1/2 = 20 min). Proteases were probably not involved because OGT immunopurified from cytosol retained temperature sensitivity. Subcellular distribution studies showed abundant OGT protein in the nucleus that was enzymatically active. Nuclear OGT activity exhibited a high affinity for UDP-GlcNAc and a salt sensitivity that was similar to cytosolic OGT; however, nuclear OGT was not inactivated at 37 degrees C, as was the cytosolic enzyme. Two methods were used to measure O-linked glycoproteins in brain cytosol and nucleosol -[3H]galactose labeling and western blotting using antibodies against O-linked glycoproteins. Both methods revealed a greater abundance of O-linked glycoproteins in the nucleus compared to cytosol.     

Effects of extended growth periods on subcellular distribution,chemical forms,and the translocation of cadmium in Impatiens walleriana

Impatiens walleriana plants accumulate sufficiently high concentrations of cadmium (Cd) for this species to be considered a potential Cd hyperaccumulator. Rooted cuttings were grown hydroponically for 25 and 50 days in solutions spiked with various Cd concentrations. The subcellular distribution and chemical forms of Cd in different organs were analyzed, and its upward translocation was also assessed. The plants accumulated large amounts of Cd; the Cd concentration in the roots and shoots reached 120–1900 and 60–1600 mg/kg, respectively. Regardless of the growth period, the Cd accumulated in the roots was primarily compartmentalized in the soluble fraction or ethanol and deionized water extractable chemical forms with high migration abilities. Translocation to the shoots was followed by an association of Cd mainly in the cell wall or with pectate and protein. The roots’ Cd showed a high migration capacity for predicting the shoots’ Cd concentrations. Different exposure periods significantly affected the subcellular distribution of Cd in the stems, and thus the upward translocation.

Activity and subcellular distribution of protein kinase C (PKC) in muscle and brain of force-fed zinc-deficient rats

The purpose of the present study was to investigate, in force-fed rats, whether alimentary zinc (Zn) deficiency affects the activity of the Zn-metalloenzyme protein kinase C (PKC). The in vivo activity of PKC was determined by measuring the subcellular distribution of the enzyme between the cytosolic and the particulate fraction in brain and muscle. For this purpose, 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats with an average live mass of 126 g were divided into 2 groups of 12 animals each. The Zn-deficient and the control rats received a semisynthetic casein diet with a Zn content of 1.2 and 24.1 ppm, respectively. All animals were fed four times daily by gastric tube in order to ensure that the depleted animals also received adequate nutrients and to synchronize the feed intake exactly. After 12 d, the depleted rats were in a state of severe Zn deficiency, as demonstrated by a 70% lower serum Zn concentration and a 66% reduction in the serum activity of alkaline phosphatase. Neither the cytosolic nor the particulate fraction of the thigh muscle showed any difference between the depleted and the control animals as regards PKC activity/g of muscle. The specific activity of PKC/mg of protein in the cytosolic fraction of the muscle was not affected by alimentary zinc deficiency, whereas the specific activity of PKC in the particulate fraction of the muscle was reduced by a significant 10% in Zn deficiency (150±12 vs 135±14 pmol P/min/mg protein). In the brain, neither the cytosolic nor the particulate fraction revealed any difference in PKC activity/g of fresh weight or in the specific activity/mg of protein between the control and the Zn-deficient rats.
