Abstract: | The sensitivity of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase in tobacco was investigated in vitro, both at the proton translocation level and the ATPase level, according to plant development and leaf location. Both activities are stimulated by auxin in all leaves, whatever the plant age and the leaf age. However, the sensitivity to auxin was heterogeneous with respect to plant development and leaf location. In parallel experiments using the same plasma membrane samples, polypepides patterns were investigated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and image analysis was used to quantify the relative abundance of 110 peptides. Systematic analysis of the two kinds of data identified 8 polypeptides, the abundance of which changed in a consistent way with the sensitivity, whatever the plant developmental state and leaf location. These unknown polypeptides are proposed as potential markers of the membrane response to auxin. |
