灵武长枣果实质膜和液泡膜H~+-ATPase和H~+-PPase活性与果实糖分积累

以不同发育时期灵武长枣(Ziziphus jujuba cv.Lingwuchangzao)的果实为材料,通过测定与分析果肉组织中细胞质膜、液泡膜H+-ATPase和H+-PPase活性、果实糖分含量变化,研究了灵武长枣果实质膜、液泡膜H+-ATPase和H+-PPase活性与糖积累特性的关系。结果表明:(1)果实第二次快速生长期之前主要积累葡萄糖和果糖,之后果实迅速积累蔗糖,葡萄糖和果糖含量则逐渐下降,成熟期果实主要积累蔗糖。(2)在果实发育的缓慢生长期S1,质膜H+-ATPase活性最低;第一次快速生长期,质膜H+-ATPase活性最高;缓慢生长期S2,其活性降低;第二次快速生长期,质膜H+-ATPase活性升至次高;完熟期,质膜H+-ATPase活性下降幅度较大。(3)在果实发育过程中,液泡膜H+-ATPase和H+-PPase活性的变化趋势相似。缓慢生长期S1,液泡膜H+-ATPase和H+-PPase活性较低;从缓慢生长期S1至第一次快速生长期缓慢下降至最低;从第一次快速生长期开始,液泡膜H+-ATPase和H+-PPase活性呈现为逐渐增高的变化趋势;除第二次快速生长期以外,液泡膜H+-PPase活性始终高于H+-ATPase。由此推测,质膜H+-ATPase和液泡膜H+-ATPase、H+-PPase对灵武长枣果实糖分的跨膜次级转运起到重要的调控作用。

MeJA诱导的拟南芥保卫细胞H2O2积累与质膜H+-ATPase的关系

茉莉酸类物质(JAs)作为与昆虫啃噬及损伤相关的植物激素和信号分子在植物防御反应中起重要作用,但是茉莉酸引起的早期防御反应的机理仍不清楚。该研究以拟南芥叶片保卫细胞为材料,结合非损伤微测(NMT)及激光共聚焦技术探讨了茉莉酸诱导的保卫细胞中质膜H+-ATPase与H2O2积累的调控关系。结果表明:茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)处理导致H+迅速跨膜外排和H2O2积累,H+外排和H2O2积累能够被钒酸钠抑制,而二苯基碘(DPI)处理则对MeJA诱导的H+跨膜外排无显著影响。研究结果证明,在MeJA诱导的早期信号事件中,质膜H+-ATPase的激活先于H2O2的产生。

盐地碱蓬叶片液泡膜H+-ATPase B亚基的克隆及盐胁迫下表达分析

植物液泡膜H -ATPase在建立跨液泡膜质子梯度、促进液泡Na 区域化、提高植物耐盐性方面发挥着重要作用.本实验从盐生植物盐地碱蓬(Suaeda salsa L.)cDNA文库分离到碱蓬叶片液泡膜H -ATPase B亚基cDNA克隆.测序表明该基因长达1 974 bp,开放阅读框有1 470 bp编码489个氨基酸,含有一个保守的ATP结合位点,其蛋白分子量约为54.29 kD.Northem及Western印迹表明盐地碱蓬液泡膜H -ATPase B亚基表达明显受NaCl胁迫诱导,并且在NaCl胁迫下,B亚基在转录及翻译水平上与液泡膜H -ATPase c亚基存在协同作用.盐胁迫下,盐地碱蓬液泡H -ATPase B亚基与c亚基的协同表达增加了液泡H -ATPase的数量,从而提高了液泡H -ATPase活性,为碱蓬叶片液泡Na 区域化提供了动力,最终提高了碱蓬植株的耐盐性.

Structure of a plasma membrane H+-ATPase gene from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Physiological and biochemical studies have suggested that the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase controls many important aspects of plant physiology, including growth, development, nutrient transport, and stomata movements. We have started the genetic analysis of this enzyme by isolating both genomic and cDNA clones of an H+-ATPase gene from Arabidopsis thaliana. The cloned gene is interrupted by 15 introns, and there is partial conservation of exon boundaries with respect to animal (Na+/K+)- and Ca2+-ATPases. In general, the relationship between exons and the predicted secondary and transmembrane structure of different ATPases with phosphorylated intermediate support a somewhat degenerate correspondence between exons and structural modules. The predicted amino acid sequence of the plant H+-ATPase is more closely related to fungal and protozoan H+-ATPases than to bacterial K+-ATPases or to animal (Na+/K+)-, (H+/K+)-, and Ca2+-ATPases. There is evidence for the existence of at least three isoforms of the plant H+-ATPase gene. These results open the way for a molecular approach to the structure and function of the plant proton pump.     

Secondary structure of the Neurospora crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase as estimated by circular dichroism

In a previous communication, a water-soluble, hexameric form of the Neurospora crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase was described (Chadwick, C. C., Goormaghtigh, E., and Scarborough, G. A. (1987) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 252, 348-356). To facilitate physical studies of the hexamers, the H+-ATPase isolation procedure has been improved, resulting in a structurally and functionally stable hexamer preparation that contains only 5 to 10% non-ATPase protein, approximately 12 mol of enzyme-bound lysophosphatidylcholine/mol of H+-ATPase monomer, and little or no residual plasma membrane phospholipid. Importantly, when activated by lysophosphatidylglycerol, which satisfies the acidic phospholipid requirement of the enzyme, the hexameric quaternary structure of the enzyme is retained, indicating that the functional properties of the water-soluble hexamers are relevant to those of the native, membrane-bound enzyme. The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of this H+-ATPase preparation has been measured from 184 to 260 nm and used to estimate the secondary structure of the enzyme. The H+-ATPase is estimated to consist of approximately 36% helix, 12% antiparallel beta-sheet, 8% parallel beta-sheet, 11% beta-turn, and 26% other (irregular) structure. There is no change in the CD spectrum when known enzyme ligands are added to the H+-ATPase solution, suggesting that any changes in secondary structure that might occur during ligand binding and/or catalytic cycling are either minor or result in compensatory changes in secondary structure. The CD spectrum of the H+-ATPase is also compared to published spectra of the animal cell Na+/K+- and Ca2+-ATPases and is shown to be quite similar in shape and intensity, suggesting that all of these ATPases, which have significant sequence homology and are mechanistically similar, may have similar secondary structure composition as well.     

Role of the Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase in K+ Transport

The role of the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase in K+ uptake was examined using red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plasma membrane vesicles and a partially purified preparation of the red beet plasma membrane H+-ATPase reconstituted in proteoliposomes and planar bilayers. For plasma membrane vesicles, ATP-dependent K+ efflux was only partially inhibited by 100 [mu]M vanadate or 10 [mu]M carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. However, full inhibition of ATP-dependent K+ efflux by these reagents occurred when the red beet plasma membrane H+-ATPase was partially purified and reconstituted in proteoliposomes. When reconstituted in a planar bilayer membrane, the current/voltage relationship for the plasma membrane H+-ATPase showed little effect of K+ gradients imposed across the bilayer membrane. When taken together, the results of this study demonstrate that the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase does not mediate direct K+ transport chemically linked to ATP hydrolysis. Rather, this enzyme provides a driving force for cellular K+ uptake by secondary mechanisms, such as K+ channels or H+/K+ symporters. Although the presence of a small, protonophore-insensitive component of ATP-dependent K+ transport in a plasma membrane fraction might be mediated by an ATP-activated K+ channel, the possibility of direct K+ transport by other ATPases (i.e. K+-ATPases) associated with either the plasma membrane or other cellular membranes cannot be ruled out.     

Abolishment of proton pumping and accumulation in the E1P conformational state of a plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase by substitution of a conserved aspartyl residue in transmembrane segment 6

The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase AHA2 of Arabidopsis thaliana, which belongs to the P-type ATPase superfamily of cation-transporting ATPases, pumps protons out of the cell. To investigate the mechanism of ion transport by P-type ATPases we have mutagenized Asp(684), a residue in transmembrane segment M6 of AHA2 that is conserved in Ca(2+)-, Na(+)/K(+)-, H(+)/K(+)-, and H(+)-ATPases and which coordinates Ca(2+) ions in the SERCA1 Ca(2+)-ATPase. We describe the expression, purification, and biochemical analysis of the Asp(684) --> Asn mutant, and provide evidence that Asp(684) in the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase is required for any coupling between ATP hydrolysis, enzyme conformational changes, and H(+)-transport. Proton pumping by the reconstituted mutant enzyme was completely abolished, whereas ATP was still hydrolyzed. The mutant was insensitive to the inhibitor vanadate, which preferentially binds to P-type ATPases in the E(2) conformation. During catalysis the Asp(684) --> Asn enzyme accumulated a phosphorylated intermediate whose stability was sensitive to addition of ADP. We conclude that the mutant enzyme is locked in the E(1) conformation and is unable to proceed through the E(1)P-E(2)P transition.     

Leishmania plasma membrane Mg2+-ATPase is a H+/K+-antiporter involved in glucose symport. Studies with sealed ghosts and vesicles of opposite polarity

Experiments from other laboratories conducted with Leishmania donovani promastigote cells had earlier indicated that the plasma membrane Mg2+-ATPase of the parasite is an extrusion pump for H+. Taking advantage of the pellicular microtubular structure of the plasma membrane of the organism, we report procedures for obtaining sealed ghost and sealed everted vesicle of defined polarity. Rapid influx of H+ into everted vesicles was found to be dependent on the simultaneous presence of ATP (1 mm) and Mg2+ (1 mm). Excellent correspondence between rate of H+ entry and the enzyme activity clearly demonstrated the Mg2+-ATPase to be a true H+ pump. H+ entry into everted vesicle was strongly inhibited by SCH28080 (IC50 = approximately 40 microm) and by omeprazole (IC50 = approximately 50 microm), both of which are characteristic inhibitors of mammalian gastric H+,K+-ATPase. H+ influx was completely insensitive to ouabain (250 microm), the typical inhibitor of Na+,K+-ATPase. Mg2+-ATPase activity could be partially stimulated with K+ (20 mm) that was inhibitable (>85%) with SCH28080 (50 microm). ATP-dependent rapid efflux of 86Rb+ from preloaded vesicles was completely inhibited by preincubation with omeprazole (150 microm) and by 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (1 mm), an inhibitor of the enzyme. Assuming Rb+ to be a true surrogate for K+, an ATP-dependent, electroneutral stoichiometric exchange of H+ and K+(1:1) was established. Rapid and 10-fold active accumulation of [U-(14)C]2-deoxyglucose in sealed ghosts could be observed when an artificial pH gradient (interior alkaline) was imposed. Rapid efflux of [U-(14)C]d-glucose from preloaded everted vesicles could also be initiated by activating the enzyme, with ATP. Taken together, the plasma membrane Mg2+-ATPase has been identified as an electroneutral H+/K+ antiporter with some properties reminiscent of the gastric H+,K+-ATPase. This enzyme is possibly involved in active accumulation of glucose via a H+-glucose symport system and in K+ accumulation.     

Characterizing plasma membrane H+-ATPase in two varieties of coffee leaf (Coffea arabica L.) and its interaction with an elicitor fraction from the orange rust fungus (H. vastatrix Berk and Br.) race II.

Early intercellular signaling in Coffea arabica L.-Hemileia vastatrix host-pathogen interaction was studied, using inside-out plasma membrane from two varieties of coffee leaf and a fungal fraction to determine the plant's biochemical responses. Microsomal pellets (100,000 x g) from the susceptible (Caturra) and resistant (Colombia) coffee leaf varieties were purified by partitioning in two-polymer DEX (6.3% w/w) and PEG (6.3% w/w) system aqueous phase. Fungal material was obtained from orange rust Hemileia vastatrix Berk and Br. race II urediospore germ tubes. Plasma membrane vesicles were preferentially localized to PEG phase, as indicated by its enzyme marker distribution. Both H(+)-ATPase activities displayed similar kinetic and biochemical characteristics, comparable to those described for P-type ATPases. Several enzymes may play pivotal roles in plants regarding early interaction with fungal elicitors. Studies of fungal fractions' effects on H(+)-ATPase and both varieties' proton pumping activities were thus carried out. Concentration as low as 0.1 Gluc eq. ml(-1) fungal fraction induced specific inhibition of H(+)-ATPase and the resistant variety's proton pumping activities. The present work describes characterizing the H(+)-ATPase plasma membrane from two Coffea arabica L. varieties (Caturra and Colombia) for the first time and the race specific inhibitory effect of a crude fungal fraction on both H(+)-ATPase and the resistant variety's proton pumping activities.     

Distributions of H+,K+-ATPase and Cl–,HCO3–-ATPase in micromere-derived cells of sea urchin embryos

In cultured cells derived from isolated micromeres of sea urchin eggs, H+,K+-ATPase activity, which became detectable simultaneously with the initiation of spicule formation, was localized in the plasma membrane and the microsome fractions. Activities of marker enzymes for plasma membrane, 5'-nucleotidase, Na+,K+-ATPase, and adenylate cyclase, were found to be high in the plasma membrane fraction. Considerable activity of rotenone-insensitive NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, a marker enzyme for microsome, was detectable in the microsome fraction. These fractions exhibited barely any appreciable activity of markers for the other organellae. H+,K+-ATPase in plasma membrane probably mediates H+ release from the cells, in which H+ is produced in overall reaction to form CaCO3, the main component of spicules, from Ca2+, CO2 and H2O. Cl-,HCO3(-)-ATPase activity was also found in these two fractions before and after the initiation of spicule formation. After initiation, the skeletal vacuole fraction was obtained from subcellular structures containing spicules. Considerable activity of Cl-,HCO3(-)-ATPase was observed in this fraction, which exhibited a weak activity of UDP-galactose: N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase, a marker enzyme for Golgi body. Cl-,HCO3(-)-ATPase in the skeletal vacuole membrane probably mediates HCO3- transport into the vacuoles to supply HCO3- for spicule formation.

运用γ-32P示踪、蛋白激酶和磷酸酶抑制剂药理实验探讨茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)对质膜H -ATP酶水解活力及磷酸化水平的影响.结果如下:MeJA可促进H -ATP酶水解活力30%;斑蝥素和岗田酸促进了MeJA对质膜H -ATP酶的刺激作用;星形孢菌素和白屈菜红碱削弱了MeJA对质膜H -ATP酶的刺激作用.H -ATP酶活力变化同时,其上的γ-32P标记量发生变化.Ca2 对H -ATP酶水解活力有很大的刺激作用,但对MeJA促进H -ATP酶活力的作用没有进一步的影响.根据这些结果可以得出结论:MeJA刺激质膜H -ATP酶水解活力的变化与H -ATP酶磷酸化水平呈正相关,并且催化这一作用的蛋白激酶可能不依赖于Ca2 ,而蛋白磷酸酶依赖于Ca2 .     

Purification and Properties of a Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase from the Extremely Acidophilic Alga Dunaliella acidophila

This paper describes partial purification and characterization of a vanadate-sensitive H+-ATPase from plasma membranes of Dunaliella acidophila, an extremely acidophilic unicellular alga (I. Sekler, H.U. Glaser, U. Pick [1991] J Membr Biol 121: 51-57). Purification is based on the insolubility in and stability of the enzyme in Triton X-100. The purified enzyme is highly enriched in a polypeptide of molecular mass 100 kD, which cross-reacts with antibodies against the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase. Upon reconstitution into proteoliposomes, the enzyme catalyzes an ATP-dependent electrogenic H+ uptake. ATP hydrolysis is stimulated by lipids, is inhibited by vanadate, diethylstilbestrol, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, erythrosine, and mercurials, and shows a sharp optimum at pH 6. Unusual properties of this enzyme, by comparison with plant plasma membrane H+-ATPases, are a higher affinity for ATP (Km = 40 [mu]M) and a larger stimulation by K+, which interacts with the enzyme from its cytoplasmic side. Comparative studies with cross-reacting antibodies, prepared against different domains of the plant H+-ATPase, suggest that the central hydrophilic domain containing the catalytic site is more conserved than the C- and N-terminal ends. The high abundance and stability of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase from D. acidophila make it an attractive model system for studies of the structure-function relations and regulation of this crucial enzyme.
