The sexual agglutinability of haploid cells of heterothallicSaccharomyces cerevisiae was repressed when they were culturedin the absence of easily fermentable sugars, such as glucoseand mannose. The repression was reversed by the action of hormone-likesubstances of the opposite mating types. The substance producedby mating type cells was identical to subtsance-I which isknown to induce sexual agglutinability of inducible matingtype cells. The mating type cells produce a new hormone-likesubstance which induces or enhances sexual agglutinability of mating type cells. A crude fraction of the mating type-specific substance ( substance-I)was obtained by passing the culture filtrate of mating typecells through Amberlite CG-50 (H+ form), followed by elutionwith 1.5 M ammonia.

We found a substance which binds to substance-I to inactivatethe biological activity of the pheromone to induce sexual agglutinabilityof a mating type cells. Both living and boiled cells of thea mating type had the substance-I-absorbing action. The absorbingaction of living cells was detected almost equally at both 0and 28?C. Cell extract of the a mating type showed the substance-I-inactivatingaction. The biological activity of substance-I inactivatedby shaking with cell-free culture medium of the a mating typewas recovered by heating at 100?C, which destroyed the inactivatingaction of the culture medium with little effect on the substance-Iactivity, indicating that a substance in the culture mediuminactivated substance-I by binding to it. This is supportedby the fact that the inactivating action completely stoppedin 30 min, leaving a considerable amount of active substance-I,when the concentration of the inactivating substance was lowcompared with that of substance-I. The ability to produce thebinding substance as specific to the a mating type. The bindingsubstance was different from the a agglutination substance responsiblefor sexual agglutination.

An a mating type mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaewhich expressed high sexual activities during vegetative growthwas isolated and characterized. Its constitutive sexual agglutinabilitywas higher than the sexual agglutinability of its parental straininduced by pheromone. It produced a pheromone and -pheromone-inactivatingsubstances in larger amounts than its parental strain. It alsoproduced large pear-shaped cells (shmooed cells) without pheromone,was more sensitive to pheromone, and grew vegetatively moreslowly than its parental strain. When the mutant was crossedto a wild type strain isogenic with the parental strain, amating type segregants with high constitutive sexual agglutinabilityshowed self-shmooing. However, in a mating type segregants self-shmooingwas not observed regardless of the degree of their sexual agglutinability.The cross between a and segregants, both of which carried themutation, had higher frequency of zygote formation than thecrosses between a and cells one of which or both of which wereof wild type.

Subunits (, ß, ) and mixtures of subunits ( ß, , ß , ß ) were isolated without denaturationfrom a chloroform extract of chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1)from maize (Zea mays var. Ushiku 5-4) and from spinach by fastprotein liquid chromatography (FPLC), on an anion-exchange columnof Mono-Q in the presence of n-octylglucoside (OG) and on achromatofocusing column of Mono-P. The ß -subunitcomplex (CF1 ß ) was the minimum unit required forATPase activity, as was confirmed by the reconstituted complexof ß and subunits. An subunit isolated from maizeinhibited the ATPase activity of CF1 ß from bothmaize and spinach. CF1 ß was found to contain anOG-dependent Mg2+-ATPase. The ATPase activity of CF1 ß required divalent cations, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+, for its expressionin the presence of OG; its optimum pH was 8.0 and it was markedlyinhibited by NaN3. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATP in prefernece toGTP but not CTP, UTP, ADP, AMP or pNPP. Lineweaver-Burk plotsof its activity were curvilinear in the range of 0.60.7mM ATP.Mg2+.

Enzymatic Degradation of Chlorophyll in Chenopodium album 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The breakdown of chlorophyll (Chi) in crude extracts of Chenopodiumalbum (white goose foot) in the dark was examined. Derivativesof pheophorbide were formed when Chi or chlorophyllide wasincubated with depigmented crude extracts. The formation ofpheophorbide was completely prevented by heat treatment of extracts,indicating that the reaction was enzymatic, and the presenceof a Mg-releasing enzyme, the so called Mg-dechelatase, waspostulated. This hypothesis was strongly supported by the observationthat the formation of pheophorbide was inhibited by 51% by 10mM MgCl2. Analysis by high-performance thin-layer chromatography(HPTLC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that the appearanceof chlorophyllide , pheophorbide 132-hydroxychlorophyllide and pyropheophorbide was accompanied by a concomitant decreasein levels of Chi The formation of 132-hydroxychloro-phyllide was not clearly an enzymatic reaction and requires furtherexamination. It appears that Chl is degraded in a crude extractof C. album via the following enzymatically catalyzed reactions

The effect of a pure preparation of substance-IA (S-IA) whoseamino acid sequence is identical to that of one of the factorpeptides (2), on sexual agglutinability and DNA synthesis wascomparatively studied. The optimum concentration of S-IA forthe induction of sexual agglutinability of cells of an inducible strain was 1 ng/ml. The inducing action of S-IA was detectedin 20 min and reached a maximum in 60 min. Only 8.7% inhibitionof DNA synthesis by S-IA in the same strain was detected in1 hr and 40.4% inhibition in 2 hr at a concentration of 1 µg/ml.These results suggest that the primary action of the peptidyl sex fractor on a mating-type cells is the induction of sexualagglutinabiity.

The sexual agglutinability of inducible cells was induced byabsorbed pheromone in the absence of external a pheromone.The absorption needed no metabolic activity, but the inductiondid. This induction of sexual agglutinability by absorbed pheromonewas not accompanied or preceded by G1 arrest. The role of thebinding substance for pheromone in this induction is discussed.

An -glucan was isolated from 11-day-old suspension-culturedrice cells by extraction with hot Na-phosphate buffer (pH 6.8).The -glucan had []D=+234? (C = 0.14, in water) and its averagemolecular weight was estimated to be about 1.4 ? 104, basedon elution characteristics on acalibrated Sepharose CL-6B column.Upon partial acid hydrolysis, the -glucan gave mainly malto-oligosaccharides.The maximum absorption of the iodine complex of the -glucanin the presence of Na2SO4 was at 470 nm. The results of hydrolysisby , ß- and iso-amylases and methylation analysisindicated that the isolated -glucan is a highly branched polysaccharidewith an average chain length of 9. The exterior and interiorchain lengths of the -glucan were calculated to be 5 and 3,respectively. (Received July 23, 1986; Accepted February 7, 1987) 相似文献

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.

Localization of four glycosidases, -galactosidase (-Gal), ß-galactosidase(ß-Gal), -glucosidase (-Glu) and ß-glucosidase(ß-Glu) in suspension-cultured carrot cells was studied.Wall-bound enzymes were made soluble when the cells were convertedto protoplasts by cellulase and pectinase. -Gal was separatedinto two forms, designated I and II, by chromatography on aSephadex G-200 colunm. -Gal I was located exclusively in thecytoplasm whereas -Gal II was found in both the cytoplasmicand cellwall fractions. The pH optimum was in the neutral regionfor -Gal I and in the acidic region for the other glycosidases,including -Gal II. Both intact cells and protoplasts in suspensionculture secreted these glycosidases, except -Gal I, into themedium. Specific activities of the glycosidases, especiallythe activity of ß-Gal, decreased in the early logarithmicgrowth phase and increased as cells went through late logarithmicand stationary phases. In protoplast culture, glycosidase activitygradually increased as cell wall regeneration proceeded. (Received December 13, 1980; Accepted February 10, 1981) 相似文献

Nucleoside triphosphate(NTP)-binding proteins were detectedin the crude extract of mycelia of Neurospora crassa, whichwas treated with 1% Lubrol PX and fractionated by gel filtration.Protein fractions showing the capacity to bind [35S]ATPS or[35S]GTPS were designated as AGN1 to 6. The binding of [35S]ATPSor [35S]GTPS was prevented in the presence of 0.1 mM ATP orGTP except that in fractions AGN1 and 2, the presence of GTPstimulated the binding of [35S] ATPS to ATP(NTP)-binding proteins.ATP or GTP was 1 to 2 orders of magnitude more effective thanCTP or UTP in preventing the binding of [35S]GTPS in AGN1, 2and 5. Among these fractions AGN1, 2, 5 and 6 showed activityto hydrolyze 1 nM [32P]ATP or [32P]GTP. NTP-bindingproteins bound with [35S]ATPS or [35S]GTPS had lower apparentmolecular weights than the same proteins without bound nucleotide.Proteins bound with [35S]ATPS or [35S]GTPS and those [32P]ADP-ribosylatedby endogenous ADP-ribosyl transferase in each fraction wereanalyzed by SDS-PAGE. About 20 species of ATP or ATP-GTP-bindingproteins were detected, several of which were ADP-ribosylated.The binding of [35S]ATPS or [35S]GTPS to NTP-binding proteinswas confirmed by the comparison of non-boiled and boiled samplesimmediately before loading to SDS-PAGE. ATP, GTP, CTP or UTPat the concentration of 0.1 mM effectively removed [33S]ATPSor [35S]GTPS bound to NTP-binding proteins. (Received December 10, 1990; Accepted April 18, 1991) 相似文献

Temperature-dependent inhibitive actions of ,'-dipyridyl andcycloheximide on the senescence of maize leaves were studied.,'-Dipyridyl effectively inhibited the loss of chlorophyll at25?C but not at 35?C. Gycloheximide was highly effective inpreserving chlorophyll at both of 25 and 35?C. Spectral analysisof senescent leaves at 35?C in ,'-dipyridyl showed simultaneousbleaching the carotenoid and chlorophyll. (Received February 20, 1984; Accepted June 14, 1984) 相似文献

We discovered natural photosynthesis using Zn-containing bacteriochlorophyll in an acidophilic bacterium Acidiphilium rubrum. Chemical analysisof the cell extracts gave a 13 : 2 :1 molar ratio of Zn-bacteriochlorophyll : Mg-bacteriochlorophyll : bacteriopheophytin . Most of thepigments are associated with fully active reaction center andlight-harvesting complexes analogous to those in purple photosyntheticbacteria. The finding indicates an unexpectedly wide variabilityof photosynthesis.

The -amylase induced by helminthosporol and gibberellic acidin the embryo-less endosperm of barley was separated into thethree fractions, 1, 2 and 3, by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography.A maximum amount of the 2. was induced by gibberellic acid andthat of the as by helminthosporol. After rechromatography, the2 induced by gibberellic acid and the as induced by helminthosporolshowed their respective single bands in an electrophoresis agargel zymogram. On the other hand, the ai induced by helminthosporoland gibberellic acid showed three bands. Dihydrohelminthosporic acid, a derivative of helminthosporol,induced the same isozymes as helminthosporol did. (Received May 8, 1967; ) 相似文献

Characterization of the mRNA for the -amylase from wheat wasmade by fractionation of the total membrane-bound polysomalRNA and by immunoprecipitation of in vitro synthesized -amylaseby its specific antibody. The content of the mRNA for the -amylasein the membrane-bound polysomal fraction from germinating wheatseeds was estimated as 510% of the total mRNA in thisfraction. RNA, separated in high resolution on acid-urea-agarosegels by electrophoresis, was recovered from the gels by a newmethod. Its translation products in rabbit reticulocyte lysateswere analyzed with a specific antibody against -amylase. Thesize of the mRNA for -amylase was estimated as 5.0?105 daltons.

-Caprolactam-utilizing bacteria split -caprolactam, -valerolactamand -butyrolactam, and produce the -amino acids correspondingto them. This activity is lost when cells are grown on 6-amino-caproicacid or ammonium adipate, and reappears when cells are incubatedwith either -caprolactam or -valerolactam as the sole majororganic nutrient. Chloramphenicol inhibits this adaptation.The enzyme splitting those lactams is one and the same. It maybe called "lactam-splitting enzyme". But attempts to demonstratethe enzymic activity in a cell-free system has not yet beensuccessful. (Received September 9, 1965; ) 相似文献

The indolo--pyrone fluorescence method was modified to measurethe endogenous amount of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in lettuceseedlings, because impurities in lettuce extracts made the indolo--pyronesolution turbid, if the reaction of the extracts with aceticanhydride to give indolo--pyrone was disrupted with 3 ml distilledwater. This turbid solution caused light scattering, resultingin overestimating the IAA amount in lettuce seedlings. We could,however, obtain a clear indolo--pyrone solution by disruptingthe reaction with 0.2 ml distilled water and 2.8 ml acetic acidin place of 3 ml distilled water. We examined the reliabilityof the new method and found that the use of acetic acid substantiallyslowed down the rate of indolo--pyrone breakdown and did notdecrease the sensitivity of the method. The effect of gibberellicacid on the endogenous amount of IAA in lettuce seedlings wasalso examined.

A b-type cytochrome having an -band at 560 nm was isolated fromspinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea). A method is described forpreparing this cytochrome, cytochrome b-560 (spinach), in apurified state. The cytochrome has, in its reduced state, absorption bands at560 nm (), 530 nm (ß) and 427 nm (); and in the oxidizedstate at 562 nm (), 529 nm (ß) and 417 nm (). Thepyridine ferro-haemochrome prepared from cytochrome b-560 hadan -band at 556.5 nm, indicating the protohaem-nature of theprosthetic group. The cytochrome has an oxidation-reduction potential (E'0) of+0.13V at pH 7.0, as measured using the ferri-ferro oxalate system. The cytochrome is rapidly reduced on illumination with red orfar-red light in the presence of spinach chloroplasts and isoxidized at a slower rate in the dark. This photoreduction isinhibited by 1x106 M 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea(DCMU). The molecular weight of the cytochrome is 30,000 asestimated by the dextran gel filtration method.
