In suspension cultures of Phytolacca americana , betacyanin accumulation was reduced when cell division was inhibited by treatment with various inhibitors of DNA synthesis or anti-microtubule drugs. Aphidicolin (APC), an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, reduced the incorporation of radioactivity from labeled tyrosine into betacyanin, but the incorporation of radioactivity from labeled 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) into betacyanin was not affected by similar treatments. Propyzamide, another anti-microtubule drug, reduced incorporation of radioactivity from tyrosine and DOPA into betacyanin. However, the rate of incorporation from DOPA was higher than that from tyrosine. The results suggest that inhibition of betacyanin accumulation in Phytolacca americana cells by APC and propyzamide is due to suppression of the reaction converting tyrosine to DOPA, which may be closely related to cell division. 相似文献

Regulatory mechanisms of betacyanin biosynthesis in suspension cultures of Phytolacca americana and anthocyanin in Vitis sp. were investigated in relation to cell division activity.Betacyanin biosynthesis in Phytolacca cells clearly shows a positive correlation with cell division, as the peak of betacyanin accumulation was observed at the log phase of batch cultures. Incorporation of radioactivity from labelled tyrosine into betacyanin also showed a peak at early log phase. Aphidicolin, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, and propyzamide, an antimicrotubule drug, reduced betacyanin accumulation and inhibited the incorporation of radioactivity from labelled tyrosine into betacyanin at concentrations which were inhibitory to cell division. Both inhibitors reduced the incorporation of radioactivity from labelled tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), but the incorporation of labelled DOPA into betacyanin was not affected. These results suggest that the conversion of tyrosine to DOPA is coupled with cell division activity.In contrast, the anthocyanin accumulation in Vitis cells showed a negative correlation with cell division. Accumulation occurred at the stationary phase in batch cultures when cell division ceased. Aphidicolin or reduced phosphate concentration induced a substantial increase in anthocyanin accumulation as well as the inhibition of cell division. Chalcone synthase (CHS) activity increased at the time of anthocyanin accumulation. Northern blotting analysis indicated that changes in CHS mRNA levels corresponded to similar changes in enzymatic activity. The pool size of endogenous phenylalanine was low during active cell division, but increased before anthocyanin began to accumulate and concomitantly with increasing levels of CHS mRNA. Exogenous supply of phenylalanine at the time of low endogenous levels induced the elevation of CHS mRNA and anthocyanin accumulation. These results indicate that the elevation of endogenous phenylalanine levels, when cell division ceases, may cause the increase in CHS mRNA levels, resulting in increased CHS activity and subsequently in anthocyanin accumulation in Vitis suspension cultures.Abbreviations CHS

Radioactive shikimic acid and l-tyrosine were shown to be efficient precursors of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in Vicia faba. [1-14C]Acetate and l[U-14C]phenylalanine were not incorporated into tyrosine or DOPA. Thus the synthesis of DOPA occurs via the shikimic acid pathway and tyrosine or a very closely related metabolise. Phenolase was present in etiolated plants in much larger quantities after a brief light exposure whereas DOPA concentration was relatively constant during all stages of plant growth. Partially purified phenolase did not catalyze the conversion of tyrosine to DOPA and does not appear to have a role in DOPA synthesis. 相似文献

Isolation and identification of l-3-carboxy-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and l-1-methyl-3-carboxy-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline from seeds and callus of S. hassjoo are described. Administration of [β-14C]-labelled DOPA to a callus culture of this legume resulted in the incorporation of radioactivity into l-3-carboxy-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, l-1-methyl-3-carboxy-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and stizolobic acid, which was confirmed by constant specific radioactivity after co-crystallization with authentic samples of each compound. 相似文献

The effect of light on alkaloid accumulation in a range of cellcultures of tobacco was determined. Cell suspension culturesof Nicoriana rabacwn L. cv. Wisconsin-38 with differing degreesof photosynthetic activity, callus cultures of N. glauca Graham,root cultures of N. rustica L. and shoot cultures of N. tabacumwere used. The alkaloid content of green illuminated cultureswas greatly reduced compared with non-green cultures grown inthe dark, but decreased accumulation did not correlate withincreasing photosynthetic activity. The accumulation of allof the major alkaloids was affected, regardless of the speciesof tobacco used. Transfer of N. glauca callus from the darkinto the light caused a decrease in alkaloid accumulation, whilemoving cultures from the light into the dark resulted in anincrease in alkaloid content. In root cultures light causeda reduction in growth, which affected alkaloid synthesis. Inshoot cultures there were only traces of alkaloid detectable,regardless of whether or not cultures were illuminated. Lightappeared to cause a non-photosynthetic suppression of alkaloidaccumulation in visibly undifferentiated cultures, and thiseffect was modified in visibly differentiated cultures.

Ethylene applied to intact etiolated seedlings of Pisum sativumcv. Alaska inhibits incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA insubsequently excised plumular and subapical tissue segmentsbut has no influence on incorporation of 3H-uridine into RNA.The effect on DNA synthesis begins about 2 hr after ethyleneis applied, and intensifies progressively. A similar inhibitionof DNA synthesis occurs when ethylene is applied directly toplumular sections cut from control plants, but not with subapicalsegments under these conditions. Inhibition of DNA synthesisby ethylene is reversed by benzyl adenine in plumular sections.Brief exposure of dark grown seedlings to red light causes asubsequent increase in DNA synthesis in plumular tissue. Thechanges in DNA synthesis in tissues exposed to ethylene, benzyladenine and red light are correlated with the effects of thesetreatments on the mitotic index. (Received March 12, 1973; ) 相似文献

Lycoricidinol, a natural growth inhibitor isolated from bulbsof Lycoris radiata Herb. strongly suppressed auxin-induced ethyleneproduction from the hypocotyl segments of etiolated mung bean(Vigna radiata Wilczek) seedlings. The inhibitor did not significantlyinhibit ethylene formation from its immediate precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylicacid (ACG), during short-term (up to 4 h) incubation. The ACCcontent in tissue treated with IAA was reduced by lycoricidinolin close parallel with the inhibition of ethylene production.Examination of radioactive metabolites in tissues labeled with3,4-14C-methionine indicated that reduction of the ACC contentwas not due to any possible promotive effect of lycoricidinolon conjugation of ACC with malonate. Lycoricidinol showed noinhibitory effect on the activity of ACC synthase if appliedin vitro, but it almost completely abolished the increase inthe enzyme activity when applied in vivo during incubation ofthe tissue with IAA. Lycoricidinol also strongly inhibited incorporationof 14C-leucine into protein in the tissue. The suppression ofthe enzyme induction and, in turn, that, of ethylene productionby lycoricidinol were interpreted as being due to the inhibitionof protein synthesis.

Ibarra-Caballero, J., Villanueva-Verduzco, C., Molina-Galan,J. and Sanchez-de-Jimenez, E. 1988. Proline accumulation asa symptom of drought stress in maize: a tissue differentiationrequirement.J. exp. Bot. 39: 889897. Seedlings and callus tissue of maize (Zea mays L.) were testedfor proline accumulation under drought stress. A variety froma tropical humid region, a semi-desertic variety and its improvedpopulation selected for drought stress resistance, were usedfor this study. Proline accumulation was found in green leaves of maize seedlingsunder drought stress; no correlation was found between prolineaccumulation in leaves and the variety or population tested.White tissue, callus and leaves of etiolated seedlings did notshow this response to drought stress, nor did green callus ordetached leaves (green or etiolated), even when stress causeda loss of water from leaves similar to that observed when wholeseedlings were drought-stressed. Addition of abscisic acid togreen or white tissue did not result in proline accumulation.The above data indicate that proline accumulation caused bydrought stress does not seem to be an indication of droughtstress resistance, but rather a symptom of it. For this accumulationto take place it seems that fully organized chloroplasts arerequired as well as the systemic development of the plant. Key words: Proline, maize, drought-stress 相似文献

Incubation of the rat superior cervical ganglion in Na+-free or low-Na+ medium increased the rate of synthesis of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in the ganglion fourfold and caused a concomitant stable activation of tyrosine hydroxylase. DOPA synthesis was half-maximal in medium containing about 20 mM Na+. Low-Na+ medium also increased the incorporation of 32Pi into tyrosine hydroxylase; the dependence of tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation on the Na+ concentration resembled that of DOPA synthesis. The stimulatory effects of low-Na+ medium on DOPA production and on tyrosine hydroxylase activity in vitro were dependent on extra-cellular Ca2+. The stimulation of DOPA synthesis in low-Na+ medium was inhibited by methoxyverapamil, an inhibitor of Ca2+ uptake, and was partially blocked by tetrodotoxin, but it was not affected by the cholinergic antagonists hexamethonium and atropine. Ionomycin, a calcium ionophore, stimulated DOPA synthesis to about the same extent as low-Na+ medium and also increased the incorporation of 32Pi into tyrosine hydroxylase. 8-Bromo cyclic AMP (1 mM) also stimulated DOPA production in the ganglion, and this stimulation was more than additive with that produced by low-Na+ medium. These data support the hypothesis that low-Na+ medium stimulates DOPA synthesis by raising intracellular Ca2+, which then promotes the phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase. 相似文献

Phorbol 12,13-Dibutyrate Increases Tyrosine Hydroxylase Activity in the Superior Cervical Ganglion of the Rat 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) increased the production of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat. This effect occurred without a detectable lag and persisted for at least 90 min of incubation. The action of PDBu was half-maximal at a concentration of approximately 0.1 microM; at high concentrations, PDBu produced about a twofold increase in DOPA accumulation. PDBu increased DOPA production in decentralized ganglia and in ganglia incubated in a Ca2+-free medium. The action of PDBu was additive with the actions of dimethylphenylpiperazinium, muscarine, and 8-Br-cyclic AMP, all of which also increase DOPA accumulation, and was not inhibited by the cholinergic antagonists hexamethonium (3 mM) and atropine (6 microM). Finally, PDBu did not increase the content of cyclic AMP in the ganglion. Thus, the action of PDBu does not appear to be mediated by the release of neurotransmitters from preganglionic nerve terminals, by the stimulation of cholinergic receptors in the ganglion, or by an increase in ganglionic cyclic AMP. PDBu also increased the incorporation of 32Pi into tyrosine hydroxylase. PDBu activates protein kinase C, which in turn may phosphorylate tyrosine hydroxylase and increase the rate of DOPA synthesis in the ganglion. 相似文献

Synthesis of chlorophyll was initiated in 5- to 6-day-old dark-grown barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Clipper)seedlings by exposing them to light in the presence of 1-14 C glutamic acid supplied via the roots.The plants were then returned to darkness. At the end of light treatment (T) and after 7 or 18 h dark treatment chlorophylls a and b were extracted, quantified (μgleaf1). purified by HPLC to their magnesium-free derivatives (pheophytin a and b) and their molar radioactivities determined. After 2 h exposure to light followed by 6 h illumination in the presence of 1-14 C glutamic acid, seedlings had accumulated 4-7 nmol chlorophyll leaf1 and had incorporated between 900-1 350 Bq (g fresh weight)1 of radioactive label into the chlorophyll pool. When seedlings were transferred to darkness, label continued to be incorporated and after 18 h the radioactivity of the chlorophyll pool had increased by 300-700 Bq (g fresh weight)1. Net chlorophyll content, however, remained constant during dark treatment. The increase in radioactivity of the chlorophyll pool in darkness represented the difference between a net increase of label incorporated into chlorophyll a and a small loss of label from chlorophyll b. The absence of measurable radioactivity in the phytol moiety of labelled chlorophyll a, extracted at the endof dark treatment, demonstrated thatincorporation of label was into the tetrapyrrole moiely of chlorophyll and not into the phytol chain. Light-independent incorporation of 1-14 C glutamic acid into chlorophyll of greening barley seedlings transferred to darkness indicates that chlorophyll synthesis continues when light is withheld. We interpret the net gain in radioactivity of chlorophyll in darkness, in the absence of a net gain in chlorophyll content, to chlorophyll turnover i.e. to simultaneous synthesis and breakdown of chlorophyll when etiolated greening barley seedlings are transferred to darkness. 相似文献

Summary Ethylene production was induced in excised hypocotyl segments of etiolated mungbean seedlings in response to exogenous auxin. 1,2,3,4-14C-Methionine was efficiently incorporated into C2H4, although cold methionine added at substrate level did not enhance C2H4 production. Incorporation of labeled glucose into C2H4 was reduced when hypocotyl segments were incubated with cold methionine and homoserine, but the rate of labeling of CO2 was not affected. Feeding of labeled glucose to segments resulted in production of labeled methionine both in the presence and the absence of auxin, and auxin did not affect rate of methionine synthesis from glucose. The decrease in the amount of endogenous methionine during auxin treatment approximated the amount of C2H4 produced. The timecourse pattern of incorporation of radioactivity from labeled methionine into C2H4 during removal or re-addition of auxin was very similar to that of C2H4 production. The role of endogenous methionine as a C2H4 precursor is discussed. 相似文献

Probenecid at a dose 100 and 200 mg/kg, i.v. has been found to decrease in a dose-dependent manner the level of radioactivity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measured at 1, 15, 30 and 60 min. after the intravenous injection of 14C-tyrosine, 14C-tryptophan and 14C-DOPA. Ethanol at a dose 2 and 4 g/kg, i. p. has not changed the level of radioactivity of the CSF. It is suggested that mentioned in the literature an increased accumulation of the labeled tyrosine, tryptophan and DOPA in the brain structures after their intravenous injection is not related to the inhibitory effect of ethanol on the excretory function of the choroid plexus of the brain. On the other hand, it is concluded that probenecid is able to inhibit the excretion from the brain of some acid compounds including tyrosine, tryptophan and DOPA. 相似文献

Enhancement of In Vivo Tyrosine Hydroxylation in the Rat Adrenal Gland Under Hypoxic Conditions 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

We examined the effects of hypoxia (8% O2) on in vivo tyrosine hydroxylation, a rate-limiting step for catecholamine synthesis, in the rat adrenal gland. The hydroxylation rate was determined by measuring the rate of accumulation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) after decarboxylase inhibition. One hour after hypoxic exposure, DOPA accumulation decreased to 60% of control values, but within 2 h it doubled. At 2 h, the apparent Km values for tyrosine and for biopterin cofactor of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the soluble fraction were unchanged, whereas the Vmax value increased by 30%. The content of total or reduced biopterin was unchanged, but the content of tyrosine increased by 80%. Tyrosine administration had little effect on DOPA accumulation under room air conditions but enhanced DOPA accumulation under hypoxia. After denervation of the adrenal gland, the hypoxia-induced increase in DOPA accumulation and in the Vmax value was abolished, whereas the hypoxia-induced increase in tyrosine content was persistent. These results suggest that in vivo tyrosine hydroxylation is enhanced under hypoxia, although availability of oxygen is reduced. The enhancement is the result of both an increase in tyrosine content coupled with increased sensitivity of TH to changes in tyrosine tissue content and of an increase in dependence of TH on tyrosine levels. The increase in the sensitivity of TH and in the Vmax value is neurally induced, whereas the increase in tyrosine content is regulated by a different mechanism. 相似文献

In 5-day-old etiolated Sorghum seedlings, red light irradiationfor 1 s enhanced carotenoid and chlorophyll accumulation, and5 min of red light treatment saturated the photoresponse. Thedegree of red/far-red photoreversibility of carotenoid accumulationwas dependent on the age of the plant. No significant escapefrom far-red reversibility was observed up to 30 min after theonset of a saturating red light pulse in 5-day-old etiolatedseedlings. Thereafter, the escape was relatively fast and completedwithin 180 min. Sorghum bicolor L, carotenogenesis, phytochrome, time dependence, chlorophyll synthesis 相似文献

A large portion of newly formed mRNA transported into the cytoplasmwas found as free mRNPs with discrete S-values of 50-55S, 35-38Sand 22-26S in roots of elongated pea seedlings, in contrastto the younger embryo axis, in which most of the newly formedmRNA was associated with the polysomes. Nitta's finding withVicia seedlings, that free mRNPs contain lesser amounts of oligo(dT)-boundpoly(A)-segments (9), was confirmed by analyzing RNAs from thepolysomes and free mRNPs from elongated pea seedling roots thathad been labeled with 3H-adenosine under the selective inhibitionof rRNA synthesis by 5-FU. A clear difference was observed betweenthe young embryo axis and the elongated seedling root in thedistribution of 3H-adenosine-labeled mRNA in the microsomal(P-30) and postmicrosomal (S-30) fractions. The relative ratioof radioactivity associated with the microsomes was lower inseedling roots. The decrease during germination of the percentof the labeled whole cell RNA binding to the Millipore filter,reported in a previous paper, was proved to be the consequenceof reduced polyadenylation of poly(A)-segments after 3H-adenosine-labeledRNA had been treated with RNase A and RNase T1 and analyzedon polyacrylamide gels. The evidence showed a close correlationbetween the accumulation of free mRNPs and reduced growth ofpoly (A)-segments in the mRNA of seedling roots. The relationshipbetween the ability of mRNPs to associate with the endoplasmicreticulum and the degree of polyadenylation of mRNA is discussed. (Received January 16, 1979; ) 相似文献

Gibberellic acid (GA3) inhibits amaranthin synthesis whereas the growth retardant, phosphon D, enhances pigment levels in A. caudatus seedlings exposed to light. No effect was observed on chlorophyll and carotenoid synthesis. Radioactive tyrosine and DOPA were incorporated into amaranthin. The specific activity of amaranthin synthesised in the presence of 14C-tyrosine or 14C-DOPA in seedlings treated with GA3 is higher than water controls. The specific activity of pigment from phosphon D treated tissue is relatively low. GA3 treated tissue has lower active tyrosine and DOPA pools compared to phosphon treated seedlings. Tyrosine and DOPA-oxidase activity increases in GA3 treated and H2O control seedlings exposed to light. Kinetin stimulates the synthesis of amaranthin in dark-grown seedlings and this is not overcome by simultaneous GA3 application. Dark-grown seedlings treated with different kinetin concentrations and incubated in 14C-tyrosine synthesise radioactive amaranthin of similar specific activity. Kinetin treatment of dark-grown seedlings brings about an increased tyrosine and DOPA-oxidase activity. The results indicate that GA3 controls the production and/or availability of tyrosine whereas kinetin can mimic light treatment and controls the utilisation of tyrosine probably by bringing about the synthesis or activation of tyrosine and DOPA-oxidase protein. 相似文献

Purified mitochondrial preparations from etiolated maize shoots support the incorporation of radioactivity from labeled UTP into RNA. The incorporation is linear with time for up to 2 hours, shows Michaelis-Menton kinetics with respect to the concentration of the labeled substrate, UTP, and has salt and pH optima which are different than those previously reported for RNA synthesis by isolated chloroplasts. When a crude mitochondrial preparation is subjected to isopycnic sucrose gradient centrifugation, the bulk of the RNA synthetic activity co-sediments with mitochondrial marker enzymes and with the mitochondrial 26S and 18S rRNAs. Maize mitochondrial RNA synthesis is prevented by actinomycin D and ethidium bromide but unaffected by α-amanitin. It is strongly inhibited by rifampicin at concentrations which have no effect on nuclear and chloroplast RNA synthesis, but only moderately inhibited by rifampicin at concentrations which completely inhibit bacterial RNA synthesis. The optimization, cell fractionation, and inhibitor data all suggest that contaminating organelles and bacteria do not contribute appreciably to the RNA synthesis in purified mitochondrial preparations. 相似文献

Photosynthetic pigment synthesis was enhanced upto 15 day withincreasing age of etiolated wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv.Sonalika) seedlings. The adverse effect of water stress on chlorophyll(Chl) synthesis was observed even after complete rehydrationof the seedlings. Younger seedlings were more prone to stressthan the older ones. The older rehydrated seedlings showed stressrecovery ability in the post lag phase of greening. (Received August 15, 1985; Accepted October 21, 1986) 相似文献
