Phosphatase activity in cultured tobacco cells XD-6 increasedremarkably under phosphate-deficient culture conditions. Suchan increase did not occur in the activities of -amylase, ß-galactosidase,succinate dehydrogenase and catalase under the same cultureconditions. By replenishment with Pi, the increase in totalphosphatase activity was suppressed and the specific activitywas reduced to a low level. The suppression of increase in theactivity resulted form a repression of de novo synthesis ofthe enzyme. Added Pi also suppressed the release of phosphataseinto the culture medium. The effect of Pi was found to be greaterthan the effect on the increase in the intracellular activity. At least three phosphatases were extracted from XD-6 cells.One of the enzymes increased when the phosphatase synthesiswas increased by phosphate deficiency.

The activity of RNase increases rapidly upon cutting sectionsof bean (Phascolus vulgaris L. var. Kentucky Wonder) endocarp,peaks within 4 to 8 hr and then declines. This rapid developmentof RNase activity is inhibited by cycloheximide. Auxin (naphthaleneaceticacid, NAA) accelerates the rate of decline of RNase. Abscisicacid (ABA) enhances the level of RNase between 4 and 24 hr,associated with a decline in RNA, and this effect of ABA isobscured in the presence of auxin.

Two-node explants from Sweet Orange cv. St Ives Valencia orangeshoots produced prolific callus and formed secondary abscissionzones within internodes when cultured in vitro with abscisicacid (ABA, 5 µM) or -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA, 5 µM).Benzyladenine (BA, 1 µm) induced callus but had littleeffect on abscission. Secondary abscission zone formation wasassociated with ABA-induced and auxin-induced ethylene formation.Treatment of explants with inhibitors of ethylene synthesis[aminoethoxyvinyl glycine (AVG), Co2+, PO43] preventedformation of secondary abscission zones but had variable effectson callus formation. Newly made explants contained high concentrationsof endogenous ABA (up to 6000 ng g1 f.wt), as measuredby GC/MS/SIM. Long-term subculture of explants (two years) inmedia containing BA (1 µm) led to a reduction in endogenousABA level (40 ng g1 f. wt) and to loss of capacity toform extensive callus and secondary abscission zones.

The role of benzyladenine (BA) in the differentiation of trachearyelements in Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tuberexplants was studied. For maximum differentiation of trachearyelements (2530% of the cell population), treatment withoptimal concentrations of benzyladenine (5.0 mg dm3)in the presence of -naphthaleneacetic acid |NAA| (1.0 mg dm3)for the first 6 d was as effective as its continued presenceduring the entire 14 d period of study. A majority of the differentiatedtracheary element appeared between the 10th and 14th days ofculture. It was further observed that concentrations of activecytokinins in the tissue were considerably reduced within 2d after transfer from the BA-containing medium to a BA-freemedium. This was shown in three different ways: (1) monitoringthe amount of ethanol-soluble radioactivity at various timesafter transfer from |14C|-BA containing medium to BA-free medium;(2) bioassay of various cytokinin fractions from tissue extractseparated by thin layer chromatography; (3) indirect assay oftissue cytokinin activity through its interaction with abscisicacid for the promotion of auxin-induced cell division in thistissue. Both gibberellic acid (5.0 mg dm3) and abscisic acid(20 mg dm3) effectively inhibited the differentiationof tracheary elements even if provided after 6 d of pre-incubationin a high tracheid inducing medium. However, the appearanceof differentiated cells for the first 2 d after transfer wasnot significantly affected. A hypothetical scheme for the role of benzyladenine in the differentiationof tracheary elements in this tissue is discussed. It is suggestedthat during one or more critical cell divisions in the presenceof optimal levels of benzyladenine, a proportion of cells areinduced or committed for later differentiation into trachearyelements. The high concentrations of benzyladenine requiredduring induction are not needed during the intervening celldivisions, nor for the actual differentiation of the trachearyelements.

Excised leaf discs of three Brassica species, B. oleracea, B.napus, and B. campestris were induced to produce adventitiousbuds and subsequently entire plants by culture on media withspecific combinations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and -naphthylaceticacid (NAA). Each species required a particular hormone concentrationfor optimum growth and differentiation: B. oleracea, BAP 10mg1 and NAA 1 mg 11; B. napus, BAP 10 mg 11and NAA 10 mg 11; B. campestris, BAP 1 mg 11 andNAA 10 mg 11. In a more detailed study on one of these species, namely B.oleracea, the relative influence of other media components suchas amino acids and other organic additives was examined. Itwas also found that the source and size of the explant greatlyaffected the growth response, as did the size of the culturevessel. The regenerated plants dislayed a range of ploidy as well asphenotypic abnormalities. Findings are discussed in relation to results from other tissueculture systems. 相似文献

Sugar starvation-induced synthesis and extracellular liberationof -amylase molecules in suspension-cultured cells of rice (Oryzasativa L.) required Ca2+, although the level of translatable-amylase mRNA was not affected in the presence of Ca2+. Sugardepletion markedly stimulated Ca2+ uptake by rice cells andsucrose supplementation reduced it. Immunohistochemical andelectron probe microanalyzer studies indicated an apparent resemblancebetween the distribution pattern of Ca2+ and that of -amylasemolecules induced in the sugar-depleted cells. Ca2+ uptake wasreduced by sucrose, maltose, fructose, and glucose similarlyat more than 5 mM, but was unaffected by mannitol (88 mM), 6-deoxy-D-glucose(10 mM), and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (10 mM). Furthermore, an effectiveCa2+ channel blocker, La3+ significantly inhibited the Ca2+uptake and the synthesis and extracellular liberation of -amylasemolecules in the absence of sucrose, while a general P-typeATPase inhibitor, vanadate greatly stimulated both in the presenceof sucrose. We concluded that, by controlling the Ca2+ uptake,metabolic sugars regulate the protein synthesis and posttranslationalsecretory processes of -amylase molecules in rice cells.

Leaf sections of Browallia viscosa and B. speciosa were placedon Murashige and Skoog (1962) salts and vitamins medium (MS)containing auxins and cytokinins, singly or in combination,to elicit morphogenetic responses. B. viscosa developed extensiveroots in 4 weeks on media supplemented with indolebutyric acid(IBA), indol-3-yl acetic acid (IAA) or naphthalene acetic acid(NAA) (0·01, 0·1, 1·0, 5·0 and 10·0mg1), but with 2, 4-D (0·1 mg1) only lightyellow friable callus was obtained. Shoot initiation and elongationoccurred consistently in 46 weeks on leaf sections inthe presence of 6---dimethylallyl amino purine (2iP). Similarly,shoot regeneration from leaf-derived callus, initiated and sub-culturedon MS + benzyladenine (BA) + NAA only induced callus on leafexplants of both species. B. speciosa did not respond exceptfor moderate and prolific callus formation on MS + BA + NAAand Uchimiya and Murashige (1974) media respectively.

Regulation of Organ Formation by Cytokinin and Auxin in Lilium Bulbscales Grown In Vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Regulation of organ formation by cytokinin and auxin was investigatedin vitro using Lilium auratum Lindl. (wild species habituatedin Japan) and Lilium speciosum Thunb. cv. "Uchida". The interactionof -naphthylacetic acid (NAA) and kinetin on bulbscale or rootdifferentiation was examined. NAA and kinetin showed mainlyindividual but also some synergistic effects. The effects ofbenzyladenine (BA) and kinetin were compared and the resultindicated that BA has a stronger physiological effect on organformation than kinetin and that their effects on Lilium auratumand Lilium speciosum were BA or kinetin-specific. The actionof kinetin on Lilium was affected by sucrose concentration andthe strength of the Murashige and Skoog medium (MS medium),and thus their high concentrations inhibited the kinetin-inducedbulbscale differentiation. Furthermore, a high sucrose levelnegated the kinetin inhibition of root formation, while highMS medium strength in itself inhibited root formation. Morphologicalobservation of bulbscale differentiation induced under a highkinetin level revealed that the new-formed structures are homologousto normally grown bulbs in soil in spite of their particularfeatures.

Na+-K+-2Clcotransporters are important in renal salt reabsorption and in saltsecretion by epithelia. They are also essential in maintenance andregulation of ion gradients and cell volume in both epithelial andnonepithelial cells. Expression ofNa+-K+-2Clcotransporters in brain tissues is high; however, little is known abouttheir function and regulation in neurons. In this study, we examinedregulation of theNa+-K+-2Clcotransporter by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. The cotransporter activity in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells was assessed by bumetanide-sensitiveK+ influx, and protein expressionwas evaluated by Western blot analysis. Glutamate was found to induce adose- and time-dependent stimulation ofNa+-K+-2Clcotransporter activity in SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, both the glutamate ionotropic receptor agonistN-methyl-D-asparticacid (NMDA) and the metabotropic receptor agonist(±)-1-aminocyclopentane-trans-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (trans-ACPD) significantlystimulated the cotransport activity in these cells.NMDA-mediated stimulation of theNa+-K+-2Clcotransporter was abolished by the selective NMDA-receptor antagonist (+)-MK-801 hydrogen maleate.trans-ACPD-mediated effect on the cotransporter was blocked by the metabotropic receptor antagonist (+)--methyl-(4-carboxyphenyl)glycine. The results demonstrate thatNa+-K+-2Clcotransporters in neurons are regulated by activation of both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. 相似文献

Phytohormone-induced GABA production in transformed root cultures of Datura stramonium: an in vivo 15N NMR study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Primary nitrogen metabolism in transformed root cultures ofDatura stramonium was observed by in vivo 15N NMR. Treatmentof the root cultures with the plant growth regulators -naphthaleneaceticacid (NAA) and kinetin caused a de-differentiation of the roottissue, together with perturbation of primary and secondarynitrogen metabolism. The levels of newly-synthesized glutamineand glutamate during ammonium assimilation were depleted relativeto control cultures, whereas GABA biosynthesis was enhanced.Although GABA production could be stimulated by a decrease incytoplasmic pH (whether imposed artificially or induced by hypoxia),observation of the roots during phytohormone treatment by 31PNMR showed that the cytoplasmic pH remained stable, indicatingthat the perturbation of nitrogen metabolism in the de-differentiatedroots must be due to other causes.

The morphogenic response of thin cell layers (TCLs) from vegetativetobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants can be directed very preciselyby varying the concentrations of benzyladenine (BA) and -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in the culture medium. Medium containing 1·6µM BA and 0·5 µM NAA was optimal for shootformation, concentrations of 0·5 µM BA and 1·6µM NAA were optimal for the induction of shoots and rootson the same explant, whereas concentrations of NAA higher than16 µM resulted in callus proliferation only. Polarityin the distribution of the shoot buds was observed, i.e. a switchfrom basal to apical shoot formation occurred with increasingNAA concentrations, suggesting basipetal transport of NAA. Histologicalexamination of TCLs on shoot induction medium revealed thatfirst cell divisions occurred within 2 d in cortical cells whichwere directly in contact with the medium along the longitudinalcut surface, and after 2 d in subepidermal cells along the lateraledges of the explants. Individual lateral buds originated fromone subepidermal and one or more epidermal cells, while apicalbuds originated from single subepidermal or cortical cells locateddirectly at the apical end of the explant. After culture ofTCLs for 2-3 d on root/shoot induction medium cells in the regeneration-competentsubepidermis elongated, while on callus induction medium subepidermalcells elongated and dedifferentiated. The regeneration systemas described in this study will be used to identify cells competentfor regeneration as well as for transformation.Copyright 1994,1999 Academic Press Nicotiana tabacum L., tobacco, thin cell layer explants, cell competence, shoot development, polarity 相似文献

The signaling pathway that transduces the stimulatory effect of low K+ on the biosynthesis of Na,K-ATPase remains largely unknown. The present study was undertaken to examine whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated the effect of low K+ in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Low K+ increased ROS activity in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and this effect was abrogated by catalase and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). To determine the role of ROS in low-K+-induced gene expression, the cells were first stably transfected with expression constructs in which the reporter gene chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) was under the control of the avian Na,K-ATPase -subunit 1.9 kb and 900-bp 5'-flanking regions that have a negative regulatory element. Low K+ increased the CAT expression in both constructs. Catalase or NAC inhibited the effect of low K+. To determine whether the increased CAT activity was mediated through releasing the repressive effect or a direct stimulation of the promoter, the cells were transfected with a CAT expression construct directed by a 96-bp promoter fragment that has no negative regulatory element. Low K+ also augmented the CAT activity expressed by this construct. More importantly, both catalase and NAC abolished the effect of low K+. Moreover, catalase and NAC also inhibited low-K+-induced increases in the Na,K-ATPase 1- and 1-subunit protein abundance and ouabain binding sites. The antioxidants had no significant effect on the basal levels of CAT activity, protein abundance, or ouabain binding sites. In conclusion, low K+ enhances the Na,K-ATPase gene expression by a direct stimulation of the promoter activity, and ROS mediate this stimulation and also low-K+-induced increases in the Na,K-ATPase protein contents and cell surface molecules.

A Ras-related NTP-binding protein was partially purified froma membrane fraction derived from the mycelia of Neurospora crassa.[-32P]ATP and [-32P]GTP were incubated with mem brane and solublefractions which were then irradiated with UV light to inducecrosslinking of tightly bound nucleotides. After SDS-polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis, blotting onto a nitrocellulose filter andautoradiography it was apparent that most of the proteins thatbound [-32P]-GTP also bound [-32P]ATP. Pretreatment of the membranefraction with Ras-specific antibody effectively blocked thebinding of [-32P]ATP and [-32P]GTP to several ATP-GTP-bindingproteins. The band of a protein with a molecular weight of 26kDa on the SDS-polyacrylamide gel cross-reacted strongly withthe Ras-specific antibody. The protein was extracted from thegel and further purified by repeated gel electrophoresis. Thepurified protein bound [-32P]ATP, [-32P]-GTP, [-32P]CTP and[-32P]UTP at 1.6x10 M and was autophosphorylated in thepresence of [-32P]ATP and [-32P]GTP at 1.7x10 M. Pretreatmentof the protein with Ras-specific antibody partially blockedthe autophosphorylation in the presence of these nucleotides.The binding of [-32P]ATP to the NTP-binding protein was blockedby addition of ATP at 104103 M. ATP ata concentration of 104 M prevented the binding of [-32P]to a greater extent than did GTP at the same concentration.Binding of [-32P]CTP and [-32P]UTP to the protein was also observed.

Inhibition by aphidicolin (APC), an inhibitor specific for -typeDNA polymerase, of trans-differentiation into tracheary elementswas characterized in Zinnia mesophyll cells. APC was effectivewhen given in the first 24 h of culture and exposure continueduntil the 36th hour. This suggests temporal involvement of -typeDNA polymerase in transdifferentiation.

Theactin-binding proteins dystrophin and -actinin are members of afamily of actin-binding proteins that may link the cytoskeleton tomembrane proteins such as ion channels. Previous work demonstrated thatthe activity of Ca2+ channels can be regulated by agentsthat disrupt or stabilize the cytoskeleton. In the present study, weemployed immunohistochemical and electrophysiological techniques toinvestigate the potential regulation of cardiac L-type Ca2+channel activity by dystrophin and -actinin in cardiac myocytes andin heterologous cells. Both actin-binding proteins were found tocolocalize with the Ca2+ channel in mouse cardiac myocytesand to modulate channel function. Inactivation of the Ca2+channel in cardiac myocytes from mice lacking dystrophin(mdx mice) was reduced compared with that in wild-typemyocytes, voltage dependence of activation was shifted by 5 mV to morepositive potentials, and stimulation by the -adrenergic pathway andthe dihydropyridine agonist BAY K 8644 was increased. Furthermore, heterologous coexpression of the Ca2+ channel with muscle,but not nonmuscle, forms of -actinin was also found to reduceinactivation. As might be predicted from a reduction ofCa2+ channel inactivation, a prolonging of the mouseelectrocardiogram QT was observed in mdx mice. These resultssuggest a combined role for dystrophin and -actinin in regulatingthe activity of the cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel and apotential mechanism for cardiac dysfunction in Duchenne and Beckermuscular dystrophies. 相似文献

A Change in Tubulin Synthesis in the Process of Tracheary Element Differentiation and Cell Division of Isolated Zinnia Mesophyll Cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Changes in tubulin synthesis in the process of cytodifferentiationinto tracheary elements and cell division were investigatedusing a culture of single cells isolated from the mesophyllof Zinnia elegans. The tubulin content was measured by a sensitiveimmunoblotting method using a mouse monoclonal antibody to -or ß-tubulin as a probe and mung bean tubulin as astandard. Freshly isolated mesophyll cells had only small amountsof tubulin, but the content increased rapidly between 24 and48 h of culture before morphological differentiation and celldivision. The content rose more than sixfold during 48 h cultureand then decreased slightly. This pattern of increase closelyresembled that of the increase in cortical microtubules (MTs)estimated by electron microscopic analysis. The - and ß-tubulincontents in the cultured cells were almost the same and changedin coordination during culture. The activity of tubulin synthesis was determined by densitometricscanning of spots corresponding to tubulin subunits on an autoradiogramof a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel of [35S]-methionine-labeledproteins. Tubulin synthesis began as early as between 4 and8 h of culture and its rate increased similarly to the increasein the tubulin content, with the former always preceding thelatter, indicating that the increase in content resulted fromnew tubulin synthesis.

Secretin stimulates ductal secretion by activation of cAMP PKA CFTR Cl–/HCO3– exchanger in cholangiocytes. We evaluated the expression of 2A-, 2B-, and 2C-adrenergic receptors in cholangiocytes and the effects of the selective 2-adrenergic agonist UK 14,304, on basal and secretin-stimulated ductal secretion. In normal rats, we evaluated the effect of UK 14,304 on bile and bicarbonate secretion. In bile duct-ligated (BDL) rats, we evaluated the effect of UK 14,304 on basal and secretin-stimulated 1) bile and bicarbonate secretion; 2) duct secretion in intrahepatic bile duct units (IBDU) in the absence or presence of 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA), an inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform NHE3; and 3) cAMP levels, PKA activity, Cl– efflux, and Cl–/HCO3– exchanger activity in purified cholangiocytes. 2-Adrenergic receptors were expressed by all cholangiocytes in normal and BDL liver sections. UK 14,304 did not change bile and bicarbonate secretion of normal rats. In BDL rats, UK 14,304 inhibited secretin-stimulated 1) bile and bicarbonate secretion, 2) expansion of IBDU luminal spaces, and 3) cAMP levels, PKA activity, Cl– efflux, and Cl–/HCO3– exchanger activity in cholangiocytes. There was decreased lumen size after removal of secretin in IBDU pretreated with UK 14,304. In IBDU pretreated with EIPA, there was no significant decrease in luminal space after removal of secretin in either the absence or presence of UK 14,304. The inhibitory effect of UK 14,304 on ductal secretion is not mediated by the apical cholangiocyte NHE3. 2-Adrenergic receptors play a role in counterregulating enhanced ductal secretion associated with cholangiocyte proliferation in chronic cholestatic liver diseases. bicarbonate secretion; chloride efflux; gastrointestinal hormones; intrahepatic biliary epithelium; protein kinase A 相似文献

The influences of the gastric H+/K+ pump on organelle pH during trafficking to and from the plasma membrane were investigated using HEK-293 cells stably expressing the - and -subunits of human H+/K+-ATPase (H+/K+-, cells). The pH values of trans-Golgi network (pHTGN) and recycling endosomes (pHRE) were measured by transfecting H+/K+-, cells with the pH-sensitive GFP pHluorin fused to targeting sequences of either TGN38 or synaptobrevin, respectively. Immunofluorescence showed that H+/K+-ATPase was present in the plasma membrane, TGN, and RE. The pHTGN was similar in both H+/K+-, cells (pHTGN 6.36) and vector-transfected ("mock") cells (pHTGN 6.34); pHRE was also similar in H+/K+-, (pHRE 6.40) and mock cells (pHRE 6.37). SCH28080 (inhibits H+/K+-ATPase) caused TGN to alkalinize by 0.12 pH units; subsequent addition of bafilomycin (inhibits H+ v-ATPase) caused TGN to alkalinize from pH 6.4 up to a new steady-state pHTGN of 7.07.5, close to pHcytosol. Similar results were observed in RE. Thus H+/K+-ATPases that trafficked to the plasma membrane were active but had small effects to acidify the TGN and RE compared with H+ v-ATPase. Mathematical modeling predicted a large number of H+ v-ATPases (8,000) active in the TGN to balance a large, passive H+ leak (with PH 103 cm/s) via unidentified pathways out of the TGN. We propose that in the presence of this effective, though inefficient, buffer system in the Golgi and TGN, H+/K+-ATPases (estimated to be 4,000 active in the TGN) and other transporters have little effect on luminal pH as they traffic to the plasma membrane. pHluorin; H+ v-ATPase; trans-Golgi network; organelle pH; H+ permeability 相似文献
