植物细胞中间纤维角蛋白性质的分析

角蛋白是植物细胞中间纤维的主要。应用选择性抽提和生物化学技术,分离纯化了豌豆根尖细胞５８、５２ｋＤ、白菜叶５２ｋＤ和胡萝卜悬浮细胞６４ＫＤ角蛋白,测定了它们的氨基酸组成,结果表明上述角蛋白与动物细胞中间纤维角蛋白 氨基酸组成有较大的相似性。比较了动、植物细胞角蛋白肽谱、结果显示它们之间存在较大的差异,但是植物细胞嶂角蛋白肽谱比较一致,这提示它们属于同一蛋白家族,为植物中间纤维及其蛋白 存在提供了新

Study of Intermediate Filaments in Adiantum philippense and Comparative Analysis of Karetin-like Proteins in Some Plant Species

Network of filaments, 10 nm in diameter, was detected in the frond cells of Adiantum philippense L. by selective extraction combined with whole mount electron microscopy. Western blot analysis showed that the major filament components were cross-reacted with monoclonal antibodies against animal keratin. The phenomenon was in concert with the result of indirect immunofluoreseenee observation. The filaments with 10 nm in diameter could be reassembled in vitro. Using selective extraction, proteins were prepared from cells of Spirulina subtillissima Kutz., thalli of Marchantia polymorpha L., and leaf blades of A. philippense L. , Ginkgo biloba L. and Brassica pekinensis Rupr. Western blot showed that S. subtillissima Kutz. has two acidic keratin-like pro- teins and all of the other four plant species have three basic keratin-like proteins and three acidic keratin-like proteins. These results may suggest the existance of an intermediate filament network with keratin-like proteins in the cells of pteridophyte and their existance in plant cells is popular.     

不同条件对植物中间纤维体外装配的影响(简报)

细胞骨架的研究是当今细胞生物学中最为活跃的领域之一,而中间纤维是三种主要骨架纤维中研究较少的一种。从60年代发现至今,人们对动物细胞中间纤维的研究已经比较深入,近来又发现它在基因表达等重要生命活动中起一定的作用。中间纤维有一个显著的特征,就是能够在体外进行自我装配,不需要核苷酸和结合蛋白参加,也不依赖于蛋白质的浓度。植物细胞中是否存在中间纤维一直是未解决的问题。从80年代起,有一些研究发现在高等植物细胞中存在能与动物细胞中间纤维抗体进行

OCCURRENCE AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ARABINOGALACTAN‐LIKE PROTEINS AND HEMICELLULOSES IN MICRASTERIAS (STREPTOPHYTA)1

The cell wall of the green alga Micrasterias denticulata Bréb. ex Ralfs (Desmidiaceae, Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta) was investigated to obtain information on the composition of component polysaccharides and proteoglycans to allow comparison with higher plants and to understand cell wall functions during development. Various epitopes currently assigned to arabinogalactan‐proteins (AGPs) of higher plants could be detected in Micrasterias by immuno TEM and immunofluorescence methods, but the walls did not bind the β‐d ‐glycosyl‐Yariv (β‐GlcY) reagent. Secretory vesicles and the primary wall were labeled by antibodies against AGPs (JIM8, JIM13, JIM14). Dot and Western blot experiments indicated a proteoglycan nature of the epitopes recognized, which consisted of galactose and xylose as major sugars by high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC‐PAD). Epitopes of alkali‐soluble polysaccharides assigned to noncellulosic polysaccharides in higher plants could be detected and located in the wall during its formation. The polyclonal anti‐xyloglucan (anti‐XG) antibody labeled primary and secondary wall of Micrasterias, whereas the monoclonal antibody CCRC‐M1, directed against the fucose/galactose side chain of xyloglucan (XyG), did not recognize any structures. Labeling by anti‐XG antibody at the trans‐sites of the dictyosomes and at wall material containing vesicles indicated that secretion of the epitopes occurred similar to higher plants. The presence of (1→3, 1→4)‐β‐glucan (mixed linked glucan) in the secondary cell wall but not in the primary cell wall of Micrasterias could be demonstrated by an antibody recognizing this glucan type, whereas (1→3)‐β‐glucan (callose) could not be detected. The analytical results revealed that alkali‐soluble polysaccharides in the secondary wall of Micrasterias consist mostly of (1→3, 1→4)‐β‐d ‐glucan.     

INHIBITION OF CASPASE‐LIKE ACTIVITIES PREVENTS THE APPEARANCE OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AND DARK‐INDUCED APOPTOSIS IN THE UNICELLULAR CHLOROPHYTE DUNALIELLA TERTIOLECTA1

When the chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher is placed in darkness, a form of programmed cell death with many similarities to apoptosis is induced, including the induction of caspase‐like proteases. Many uncertainties about the regulation and mediators that participate in the process remain. To examine the relationship between caspase‐like activities and different apoptotic events (i.e., phosphatidylserine [PS] translocation), increases in membrane permeability and numbers of dead cells revealed by SYTOX‐green staining, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), we used the broad‐range caspase inhibitor Boc‐D‐FMK to block the activity of the whole class of caspase‐like proteins simultaneously. In the presence of the inhibitor, ROS were not produced, and cells did not die. Loss of membrane asymmetry, indicated by external labeling of PS by annexin V, was apparent at midstages of light deprivation, although it did not conform to the typical pattern for PS exposure observed in metazoans or vascular plants, which occurs at early stages of the apoptotic event. Thus, we have evidence for a link between ROS and cell death involving caspase‐like enzymes in an alga. The fact that caspase‐like inhibitors prevent not only cell death, but also ROS and loss of cell membrane integrity and asymmetry, suggests that caspase‐like proteases might have regulatory roles early in cell death, in addition to dismantling functions.
