Na2CO3胁迫对星星草叶肉细胞超微结构的影响

利用透射电镜技术对Na2CO3胁迫下星星草叶肉细胞超微结构进行了观察。结果表明：未胁迫的叶肉细胞排列疏松,各种细胞器结构完整,叶绿体含少量淀粉粒和脂质球。轻度盐胁迫（2g/L,4g／LNa2CO3）对叶肉细胞超微结构影响较小。中度盐胁迫（6g／L,8g／L Na2CO3）引起叶肉细胞超微结构的变化,叶绿体类囊体肿胀,基粒紊乱,不含淀粉粒,脂质球数量增加,叶绿体由原来的梭形或椭球形变成圆球状;部分线粒体嵴消失,出现晶体结构;中央大液泡破裂;核逐渐降解。高度盐胁迫（10g／L,12g／LNa2CO3）下,叶绿体片层结构消失,脂质球数量增加,体积变大,被大量的膜片层所包围,叶绿体内、外膜消失,叶肉细胞中看不到叶绿体的存在;膜片层包围线粒体;叶肉细胞中可见大量的泡状结构和膜片层,叶肉细胞死亡。上述结果表明,细胞器特别是叶绿体膜结构的破坏与盐胁迫叶肉细胞最终死亡密切相关。

Effects of Al3+ on Ca2+-ATPase Activity on Chloroplasts of Rice and Relation to Calmodulin

The relationship between aluminium phytotoxicity and calmodulin has been studied with. calcium-dependent ATPase in chloroplasts of rice. This enzyme could be activated by extrinsic calmodulin. It showed that the activity of Ca2+-ATPase in chloroplasts was regulated by calmodulin. The activation of calmodulin to the enzyme might be inhibited by calmodulin antagonists, TFP and CPZ. The effects of A13+ on the activation of calmodulin was similar to that of the calmodulin antagonists. Calcium could reduce the inhibition of aluminiutn. It seems that there is a model of toxic responses in plants to aluminium: Al3+→calmodulin→target enzy mes→metabolism.

Modulation of the low affinity Ca2+-binding sites of skeletal muscle and blood platelets Ca2+-ATPase by nordihydroguaiaretic acid

The antioxidant nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) inhibited the different sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase isoforms found in skeletal muscle and blood platelets. For the sarcoplasmic reticulum, but not for the blood platelets Ca2+-ATPase, the concentration of NDGA needed for half-maximal inhibition was found to vary depending on the substrate used and its concentration in the assay medium. The phosphorylation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase by ATP and by Pi were both inhibited by NDGA. In leaky vesicles, measurements of the ATP Pi exchange showed that NDGA increases the affinity for Ca2+ of the E2 conformation of the enzyme, which has low affinity for Ca2+. The effects of NDGA on the Ca2+-ATPase were not reverted by the reducing agent dithiothreitol nor by the lipid-soluble antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene.     

Thermal analysis of the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase

The plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase is a well known enzyme in eucaryotes able to extrude calcium to the extracellular space in order to restore intracellular calcium to very low levels. This ATPase needs plasma membrane lipids such as acidic phospholipids in order to maintain its activity. In this study, we investigated the role that calcium and cholesterol play on the thermal stability of the Ca²⁺-ATPase isolated from cardiac sarcolemma and erythrocyte membranes. Calcium showed a stabilizing and protective effect when the enzyme was exposed to high temperatures. This stabilizing effect showed by calcium was potentiated in the presence of cholesterol. These protection effects were reflected on several thermodynamic parameters such as T₅₀, H_vh and apparent G, indicating that calcium might induce a conformational change stabilized in the presence of cholesterol that confers enzyme thermostability. The effect shown by cholesterol on H_vh and apparent H open the possibility that this lipid decreases cooperativity during the induced transition. Despite that a binding site for cholesterol has not been identified in the plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase, our results supports the proposal that this lipid interacts with the enzyme in a direct fash     

RNA--induced silencing of the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase 2 in neuronal cells: effects on Ca2+ homeostasis and cell viability

Intraneuronal calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) regulation is altered in aging brain, possibly because of the changes in critical Ca(2+) transporters. We previously reported that the levels of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) and the V(max) for enzyme activity are significantly reduced in synaptic membranes in aging rat brain. The goal of these studies was to use RNA(i) techniques to suppress expression of a major neuronal isoform, PMCA2, in neurons in culture to determine the potential functional consequences of a decrease in PMCA activity. Embryonic rat brain neurons and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were transfected with in vitro--transcribed short interfering RNA or a short hairpin RNA expressing vector, respectively, leading to 80% suppression of PMCA2 expression within 48 h. Fluorescence ratio imaging of free [Ca(2+)](i) revealed that primary neurons with reduced PMCA2 expression had higher basal [Ca(2+)](i), slower recovery from KCl-induced Ca(2+) transients, and incomplete return to pre-stimulation Ca(2+) levels. Primary neurons and SH-SY5Y cells with PMCA2 suppression both exhibited significantly greater vulnerability to the toxicity of various stresses. Our results indicate that a loss of PMCA such as occurs in aging brain likely leads to subtle disruptions in normal Ca(2+) signaling and enhanced susceptibility to stresses that can alter the regulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis.

Comparison of Properties of the Plasma Membrane Ca2+ -ATPase from Wheat Root and Leaf

The properties of plasma membrane Ca2 + -ATPases from wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Lengchun No. 13) root and leaf were compared, and their different properties were analyzed in association with the differentia of the functions of these two organs and their relevant environments. Root plasma membrane Ca2 + -ATPase showed a high activity in a broad range of pH and an optimum reaction temperature of 45 ℃, while the leaf enzyme activated in a narrow range of pH and an optimum reaction temperature of 50 ℃. Hill coefficient of root plasma membrane Ca2 + -ATPase for ATP was 1.6, revealing an obvious positive cooperativity. In contrast, that of leaf plasma membrane Ca2 +-ATPase was 1.0, being in keeping with Michaelis-Menten dynamics. For Ca2 + activation, Hill coefficient of plasma membrane Ca2 + -ATPases from both organs were less than 1, suggesting that both had negative cooperativity. The enzymes were activated by calmodulin and inhibited by Mg2+.     

Ca2+-Regulating mechanisms that modulate bull sperm capacitation and acrosomal exocytosis as determined by chlortetracycline analysis

We have used chlortetracycline (CTC) analysis to investigate mechanisms that may play important roles during bull sperm capacitation in a culture medium (containing glucose, heparin, and caffeine) known to promote capacitation and fertilization in vitro. In initial experiments employing the Ca²⁺ ionophore A23187, we identified three discrete CTC patterns so similar to those described for mouse and human sperm that we have employed the same nomenclature: “F,” characteristic of uncapacitated, acrosome-intact cells; “B,” characteristic of capacitated, acrosome-intact, cells; “AR,” characteristic of capacitated, acrosome-reacted cells. Over a 60-min period, A23187 stimulated significant increases in B and AR pattern cells, with concomitant decreases in F pattern cells, suggesting a very rapid transition from the uncapacitated to the capacitated state and then on to exocytosis. Without ionophore, significant changes in the proportions of F and B pattern cells were also observed, but the maximum responses required 4 hr; the proportion of AR cells was consistently ～ 15% throughout, indicating a low incidence of spontaneous acrosome loss. Analysis of cells in media with altered composition indicated that the inclusion of either heparin or caffeine significantly promoted capacitation to about the same extent, but together, heparin plus caffeine had an even more stimulatory effect. Despite this, none of these treatments triggered acrosome loss above the levels seen in media lacking these constituents. In the presence of caffeine, with or without heparin, the inclusion of glucose had little effect on responses, but in the presence of heparin there were fewer B cells. In the presence of either quercetin, a Ca-ATPase inhibitor used at 50–200 μM, or W-7, a calmodulin antagonist used at 5–125 μM, capacitation per se was accelerated, as evidenced by significant decreases in F and significant increases in B pattern cells; only the highest concentration of each caused significant increases in AR cells. In addition, 25 and 125 μM W-7 markedly stimulated motility, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Finally the Na⁺ ionophore monensin at 500 μM significantly accelerated both capacitation and acrosomal exocytosis. The addition of the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker nifedipine at 10 nM, just prior to monensin, did not inhibit capacitation (F to B transition) but blocked acrosomal exocytosis (B to AR transition). We suggest that Ca²⁺ is required for functional changes in bull sperm, with a Ca²⁺-ATPase modulating intracellular Ca²⁺ during capacitation and calcium channels controlling the Ca²⁺ influx required for acrosomal exocytosis. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
