低温胁迫对水稻幼苗抗坏血酸含量的影响

随着低温时间的延长,水稻幼苗抗坏血酸和GSH的含量均平行地下降,抗坏血酸含量与电解质渗出率之间呈负相关。增强低温胁迫程度,随着抗坏血酸含量逐渐减少,MDA含量则逐渐增加。经低温处理后在不同光强下恢复时,抗坏血酸和MDA含量的变化不同。抗氧化剂(GSH、半胱氨酸和巯基乙醇)的预处理可抑制低温引起的抗坏血酸含量的下降。

De-novo synthesis and release of peroxidases in cell suspension cultures of Nicotiana tabacum L.

De-novo synthesis of acid and basic peroxidases has been studied in cell suspension cultures of tobacco by incorporation of ³H- and ¹⁴C-amino acids. Incorporation rates were found to be high for acid peroxidases and low for basic peroxidases. Synthesis of all peroxidases was inhibited by cycloheximide and actinomycin D. Subculturing of the cells increased the rates of radioactive amino-acid incorporation into all peroxidases within the first 24 h. This rise in peroxidase synthesis was correlated with the age of the transferred cells. The older the cells were the more pronounced was the effect. During the culture cycle the high rates of peroxidase synthesis at the second day dropped back to initial values. Peroxidase synthesis was thus inversely related to peroxidase accumulation which was very low at the beginning and increased continuously. By pulse-chase experiments it has been shown that newly synthesized acid peroxidases accumulated in the medium. This process was inhibited by monensin. Only the acid peroxidases were secreted into the cell wall and from there released. The basic peroxidases were not detectable in the medium.Abbreviations AA^* radioactive amino-acid mixture - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate     

Basic peroxidases in isolated vacuoles of nicotiana tabacum L.

Vacuoles of tobacco mesophyll and of suspension-cultured cells were isolated in order to study the localization of peroxidase isoenzymes. Only basic peroxidases were detectable by electrophoretic separation of the vacuolar sap. Some of the basic peroxidases have formerly been described as an ionically bound cell-wall fraction. This fraction, however, was found to be an artifact produced by incomplete cell breakage. Reinvestigation of isolated cell walls confirmed that mainly acidic peroxidases are localized in the cell walls where they move freely or are bound. As a consequence of former and present results we think it probable that all of the peroxidase isoenzymes are secretory proteins because they have to be transported from the sites of synthesis in the cytoplasm to the sites of function, the extracytoplasmic spaces, cell wall (acidic peroxidases), and vacuole (basic peroxidases).Abbreviation ER endoplasmic reticulum - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis     

Antioxidant enzyme gene expression in congestive heart failure following mycardial infarction

Increased oxidative stress and reduction in antioxidant enzymes have been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure subsequent to myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of the present study was to characterize changes in the mRNA abundance and protein levels for the enzymatic antioxidants, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase during the sequelae of congestive heart failure in rats. MI was produced by the ligation of the left coronary artery and hearts from controls and 1, 4 and 16 week PMI groups were analyzed. Losartan treatment (2 mg/ml in drinking water, daily) was started at 4 weeks and continued for 12 weeks. The mRNA levels for SOD were reduced by about 40% at 1-week PMI, were near to the control levels at 4-week PMI and at 16 weeks PMI, the levels were reduced by about 73% below the controls. GSHPx mRNA levels remained unchanged at all time points. The mRNA levels for catalase remained unchanged at 1 and 4 weeks PMI and were significantly reduced by about 44% at 16 weeks PMI as compared to the controls. The protein levels for MnSOD, CuZnSOD, GSHPx at 1 and 16 weeks remained unchanged in treated and untreated PMI groups. However, the protein levels for catalase was significantly increased in the control and PMI groups treated with Losartan. It is concluded that changes in the SOD and catalase activities during severe heart failure correlated with changes in mRNA for these enzymes. The precise mechanism/s for the improvement in antioxidant reserve and protein levels after Losartan treatment is/are unclear at this time.     

Mitochondrial antioxidant defence in radio-resistantLepidopteran insect cells

Cells isolated from Lepidopteran insects (butterfly and moths) display very high radioresistance as compared to mammals and other insect species. Since free radical induced mitochondrial damage under stress conditions is very crucial for cellular fate determination, antioxidant system is the major protective modality required to minimize stress-induced damage and to modulate cellular sensitivity. In this study, we predict the mitochondrial localization potential and co-existence of important antioxidant enzymes in insect cells and compare with other radiosensitive (mammals, Dipteran insects) and radioresistant (nematodes) species. Our study clearly demonstrates the inter-species variation in then localization potential of various antioxidant enzymes. A higher mitochondrial localization potential as a function of mitoprot score was evident for all important antioxidant enzymes in the lepidopteran insect Bombyx mori (Mn-SOD, 0.694; GPx, 0.862; TRPx, 0.997; TR, 0.9), besides an unusual mitochondrial localization prediction for catalase (0.453). We further found coexistence of glutathione and thioredoxin system in the mitochondria of lepidopteran insects as also reported in various plant species. On the basis of above observations, we hypothesize that a strong mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme system including the unusual coexistence of catalase, glutathione and thioredoxin system may help minimize the free radical mediated damage to mitochondria and can contribute to the intrinsic radioresistance of lepidopteran insects.

A chromium-tolerant plant growing in Cr-contaminated land

In this paper, a kind of Typhaceae plant species, Typha angustifolia L, with a high tolerance to Cr is described. Experiments were carried out to examine its ability to tolerant Cr and its physiological response. The results showed that there was no difference in growth, plant height, and biomass response to external Cr (VI) between the plants exposed to 100 microM Cr (VI) and control (0 microM), while increasing Cr levels to 200-800 microM induced a significant decrease in plant height and biomass, but no significant injury was detected, even for the plants exposed to 800 microM Cr. Chromium induced significant increases in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities. Meanwhile, a significantly positive correlation was found between Cr and Mn or Cu in leaves and roots, respectively. The Cr tolerance of the plant appeared to be associated with the enhancement of SOD and POD activities and the improvement in uptake and translocation of the essential microelements.
