在耐热性诱导中豌豆叶片过氧化氢和水杨酸含量与质膜ATP酶活性的变化及相互关系

在高温锻炼(37℃,2h)过程中,豌豆(Pisum sativum L.)叶片过氧化氢(H_2O_2)和游离态水杨酸(SA)含量与质膜ATP酶(H~ -ATPase)活性都有一个高峰,H_2O_2的迸发早于游离态SA的积累,而质膜H~ -ATPase活性高峰的出现则迟于SA高峰;活性氧清除剂、抗氧化剂、质膜NADPH氧化酶抑制剂和H_2O_2的淬灭剂预处理均可有效地阻止高温下H_2O_2和SA的积累以及质膜H~ -ATPase活性的增加。根据以上结果推测,H_2O_2、质膜H~ -ATPase和SA均参与耐热性诱导相关的信号传递,前者作用于SA的上游,而后者在SA下游起作用。

Changes in H2O2 and salicylic acid contents as well as plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity and their relations in pea leaves during thermotolerance induction]

H(2)O(2), plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase (PM H(+)-ATPase) and salicylic acid (SA) play important roles in sensing external stimulation and activating defense responses in plants. However, it remains uncertain whether they are involved and interrelated in response to heat acclimation. Experiments were performed by pharmacological methods, and the relationship and the connection between endogenous H(2)O(2), free SA and PM H(+)-ATPase were investigated in pea plants (Pisum sativum L.) during heat acclimation. The results showed that an accumulation peaks of H(2)O(2), free SA and PM H(+)-ATPase, were detected during heat acclimation at 37 degrees C for 2 h and H(2)O(2) burst appeared before SA accumulation that followed by increase of PM H(+)-ATPase activity (Fig.1). Pretreatments with either scavengers of active oxygen species (dimethyl sulfoxide and ascorbic acid) or antioxidant (reduced glutathione) inhibited the increases in both H(2)O(2) and free SA contents as a part of heat acclimation (Fig.2). Additionally, changes in activity of plasma membrane NADPH oxidase paralleled with H(2)O(2) level during heat acclimation (Figs.1 and 3), implicating that H(2)O(2) might be generated by plasma membrane NADPH oxidase. Moreover, pretreatments with either diphenylene iodonium (DPI), a suicide substrate inhibitor of plasma membrane NADPH oxidase, or dimethylthiourea (DMTU), a quencher of H(2)O(2), could block the increase in free SA content and activity of plasma membrane NADPH oxidase as a part of heat acclimation (Fig.4). According to the assay described above, it is suggested that both H(2)O(2) and PM H(+)-ATPase participate in SA signaling that leads to the development of thermotolerance in pea plant, and H(2)O(2) functions upstream and PM H(+)-ATPase functions downstream of the SA signal. Also, the regulation mechanism of PM H(+)-ATPase activity was investigated, which showed that during heat acclimation, increase of PM H(+)-ATPase activity was independent of PM H(+)-ATPase amount and the enzyme activity may be modulated at post-translational level that may involve in reversible protein phosphorylation (Fig.5).
