The pectic enzymes in Pectolyase were separated by ion exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose. Three pectin lyases, two polygalacturonases, and a pectinmethylesterase were resolved. The enzymes were further purified on Mono Q and/or Mono S columns to remove traces of cellulase. The enzymes had molecular weights ranging from 25,000 to 36,000 daltons. They were optimally active between pH 4.0 and 6.2 and were not greatly affected by ions. The pectin lyases and polygalacturonases were endo-enzymes. They solubilized uronic acids from washed cell wall fragments, but the lyases were much more effective than the polygalacturonases. The mixture of enzymes constituting Pectolyase increased ethylene production 15- to 25-fold when introduced into tomato and orange fruits. The enzymes purified from Pectolyase all increased ethylene production in the fruits but the lyases were generally more effective than the hydrolases. 相似文献

The secretion of nonstarchy polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from an anaerobic human intestinal bacterium, Clostridium butyricum- beijerinckii (isolated from human feces), was investigated. Growth of the bacterium was found when laminarin, konjac glucomannan, and pectic acid were added separately to the culture media as sole carbon source. The corresponding degrading enzymes for these dietary fibers, laminarinase (endo-1,3- beta-glucanase), endo-1,4-beta-mannanase, endo- and exo-pectate lyases, and pectin methylesterase, were then purified and characterized. These extracelluar enzymes, which were secreted by the bacterium in the human large intestine, were considered to contribute to digestion of the ingested dietary fibers to their oligosaccharides, following by short-chain fatty acid fermentation by the bacterium. We have developed cell immobilization techniques of the bacterium on cellulose-foam carriers that are effective for continuous production of the oligosaccharides from the dietary fibers in a fed-batch reactor system. From 9 g of pectic acid, a total of 3.96 g of 4,5-unsaturated digalacturonic acid was produced over 40 h in four 500-ml batchcultures. In the same manner, the corresponding oligosaccharides were obtained from konjac glucomannan and laminarin with average conversion rates of around 30-40%. 相似文献

Soft‐rot diseases of plants attributed to Dickeya dadantii result from lysis of the plant cell wall caused by pectic enzymes released by the bacterial cell by a type II secretion system (T2SS). Arabidopsis thaliana can express several lines of defence against this bacterium. We employed bacterial mutants with defective envelope structures or secreted proteins to examine early plant defence reactions. We focused on the production of AtrbohD‐dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS), callose deposition and cell death as indicators of these reactions. We observed a significant reduction in ROS and callose formation with a bacterial mutant in which genes encoding five pectate lyases (Pels) were disrupted. Treatment of plant leaves with bacterial culture filtrates containing Pels resulted in ROS and callose production, and both reactions were dependent on a functional AtrbohD gene. ROS and callose were produced in response to treatment with a cellular fraction of a T2SS‐negative mutant grown in a Pels‐inducing medium. Finally, ROS and callose were produced in leaves treated with purified Pels that had also been shown to induce the expression of jasmonic acid‐dependent defence genes. Pel catalytic activity is required for the induction of ROS accumulation. In contrast, cell death observed in leaves infected with the wild‐type strain appeared to be independent of a functional AtrbohD gene. It was also independent of the bacterial production of pectic enzymes and the type III secretion system (T3SS). In conclusion, the work presented here shows that D. dadantii is recognized by the A. thaliana innate immune system through the action of pectic enzymes secreted by bacteria at the site of infection. This recognition leads to AtrbohD‐dependent ROS and callose accumulation, but not cell death. 相似文献

Watermelon [ Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai, cv. Charleston Gray] fruits were examined to determine the effect of ethylene on cell wall hydrolases. pectin degradation, and cell wall ultrastructure. Enzymic studies showed that activity of polygalacturonase (EC 3.2.1.15) increased in placental tissue following 1 day of ethylene treatment and was 10 times higher after 6 days of treatment. The increase in polygalacturonase activity was accompanied by the appearance in ethanol powders of low-molecular-weight pectic polymers and a decrease in total pectin. The enhanced enzyme activity and decrease in total pectins were observed only in fruits exposed to ethylene. Ultrastructural studies of ethylene-treated tissue revealed an early disintegration of the middle lamella. The onset of wall separation coincided with the first notable increase in polygalacturonase activity. Cell wall of untreated fruit showed no evidence of structural changes. The results indicate that initiation of enzymic activity and cell wall separation in response to ethylene are not characteristic phenomena of normal ripening and senescence in watermelon fruit. 相似文献

以‘雨花三号’水蜜桃果实为试材,分别在5℃(低温)和20℃(常温)贮藏一段时间后,研究桃果实采后细胞壁多糖降解、硬度以及乙烯释放速率的变化特征。结果表明,乙烯释放高峰明显滞后于果实采后硬度的快速下降期。不同温度下贮藏过程中果实细胞壁多糖变化的对比表明,低温抑制了细胞壁果胶和细胞壁其余组分的变化,从而抑制了果实的软化。富含半乳糖醛酸的果胶主链断裂。果胶和细胞壁其余组分也发生了半乳糖和阿拉伯糖等中性糖的损失,说明果胶和细胞壁其余组分的增溶及其侧链中性糖的降解也是桃果实采后软化的重要因素,这可能是由多种相关多糖降解酶的作用所导致的。但半纤维素多糖中中性糖的降解对桃果实采后软化的进程并没有影响。 相似文献

Excised wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves, when subjected to drought stress, increased ethylene production as a result of an increased synthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and an increased activity of the ethyleneforming enzyme (EFE), which catalyzes the conversion of ACC to ethylene. The rise in EFE activity was maximal within 2 h after the stress period, while rehydration to relieve water stress reduced EFE activity within 3 h to levels similar to those in nonstressed tissue. Pretreatment of the leaves with benzyladenine or indole-3-acetic acid prior to water stress caused further increase in ethylene production and in endogenous ACC level. Conversely, pretreatment of wheat leaves with abscisic acid reduced ethylene production to levels produced by nonstressed leaves; this reduction in ethylene production was accompanied by a decrease in ACC content. However, none of these hormone pretreatments significantly affected the EFE level in stressed or nonstressed leaves. These data indicate that the plant hormones participate in regulation of water-stress ethylene production primarily by modulating the level of ACC.Abbreviations ABA

Coronatine is a chlorosis-inducing toxin produced by the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv atropurpurea. This bacterium is the causal agent of chocolate spot disease, in which brown lesions with chlorotic margins develop on the leaves of Lolium multiflorum Lam. Among the many physiological changes to plants caused by coronatine is the stimulation of ethylene production from bean leaves. The ethyl-substituted side chain of coronatine is an analog of the ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). We have examined the question of whether part or all of the released ethylene comes from the breakdown of coronatine itself. The rate of ethylene release from leaves of Nicotiana tabacum was proportional to the concentration of coronatine applied to the leaf surface. The lowest effective concentration of coronatine, applied to leaves at 15 pmol cm−2 of leaf area, resulted in the production of 44 pmol of ethylene cm−2 over a period of 4 h. The maximum rate of ethylene production occurred 28 to 32 h after application of coronatine. The specific activity of ethylene produced by discs cut from coronatine-treated Nicotiana tabacum leaves floating on a solution containing 10 mm [U-14C]methionine was consistent with its exclusive origin from methionine. ACC accumulated in the coronatine-treated tissue. ACC synthase activity increased in Phaseolus aureus hypocotyls during a 6-h treatment with coronatine. Thus, coronatine induces the synthesis of ethylene from methionine. 相似文献

Pectic polysaccharides elicit chitinase accumulation in tobacco 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Upon infection of leaves of tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L. ev. Havana) with Erwinia carotovora (Jones) Holl, strain 3912, a phytopathogenic bacterium that secretes pectinolytic enzymes, chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) levels increased 12-fold within 48 h. Heat-killed E. carotovara cells did not induce this response. In young excised tobacco plants supplied with pectic polysaccharides, chitinase activity increased to about the same level as in leaves infected with E. carotovora . The amount of pectic polysaccharides required for half-maximal induction was about 160 μg (g fresh weight)−1 . Using in vivo labeling of plants with [35 S]-cysteine, it could be demonstrated that elicitormediated chitinase induction is due to enhanced de novo synthesis of the enzyme. 相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae produced an exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PG) and endopectin-trans-eliminase (endo-PTE) in a mineral medium supplemented with a restricted supply of either D-galacturonic acid or onion cell walls. These enzymes were also extracted from infected onion tissue, but only endo-PTE caused tissue maceration and cell death. The patterns of host tissue colonization and pectic enzyme production were followed during bulb rot development. Stem plates were invaded within two weeks of inoculation. The pathogen then remained confined to the stem plates for several weeks or months, before spreading to the outer fleshy scales to initiate a basal rot. In most cases the inner leaf sheaths containing the lateral bud remained healthy. Exo-PG activity m stem plate tissue was greatest at two weeks after inoculation, then it declined. Endo-PTE was not detected in newly invaded stem plate tissue, but was recovered from infected stem plates before decay and from the bases of bulb scales and leaf sheaths at the onset of bulb rot. There was no pectic enzyme activity in uninvaded onion tissue. Spread of the fungus and pectic enzyme production in two Caledon Globe genotypes susceptible or tolerant to F. oxysporum f. sp. cepae were similar, but the onset of bulb rot in tolerant genotypes was considerably delayed. 相似文献

Endo-pectin lyase and endo-polygalacturonase of Aspergillus japonicus attack the middle lamella of plant tissue and cause tissue maceration. Galacturonides, neutral sugars, and proteins were released from potato tuber tissues during maceration by both purified enzymes. These three components accounted for 92% of the soluble products. The neutral sugars released were rhamnose, arabinose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1:3:15. They were covalently linked to galacturonides. Over 85% of the galacturonides released by the enzymes were short chain products, which indicated that a large portion of the main chain of pectic substances is a homogalacturonan. The results of chromatography on columns of Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-cellulose suggested that a protein component may be attached to pectic substances. This protein did not contain hydroxyproline and, therefore, was different from the cell wall structural glycoprotein. 相似文献

Pectic enzymes in the supernatants of Erwinia chrysanthemi cultures in late-logarithmic-phase growth on D-galacturonan were resolved into three components: two pectate lyase isozymes and an exo-poly-alpha-D-galacturonosidase previously unreported in this organism. The hydrolytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, preparative electrofocusing in Ultrodex gel, and gel filtration through Ultrogel AcA54. The enzyme had a specific activity of 591 mumol/min per mg of protein, a pI of 8.3, a molecular weight of 67,000, a pH optimum of 6.0, and a Km of 0.05 mM for D-galacturonan. Analyses of reaction mixtures by paper chromatography revealed that the enzyme released only digalacturonic acid from D-galacturonan. The action of the hydrolytic enzyme on D-galacturonan labeled at the nonreducing end by partial digestion with pectate lyase revealed that it rapidly released 4,5-unsaturated digalacturonic acid from 4,5-unsaturated pectic polymers. The production of extracellular exo-poly-alpha-D-galacturonosidase was coordinately regulated with pectate lyase production. The action patterns of the two enzymes appeared complementary in the degradation of pectic polymers to disaccharides that stimulated pectic enzyme production and supported bacterial growth. 相似文献

Exposure of root tissue from a susceptible variety of sweet potato to low concentrations of ethylene induced a resistance to infection by Ceratocystis fimbriata and an increase in the activity of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase in the tissue. Susceptible tissue that was inoculated with a pathogenic strain of C. fimbriata or a nonpathogenic strain that can induce resistance liberated more ethylene into closed chambers than tissue inoculated with strains that did not induce resistance. It is suggested that ethylene may be a stimulus that diffuses from infected areas into adjoining tissue to initiate metabolic changes which may lead to disease resistance. Polyphenol oxidase but not peroxidase activity was increased in slices of potato tubers and parsnip roots treated with ethylene. The activity of these enzymes in root tissue of carrot, radish or turnip was not altered by ethylene treatment. 相似文献

Pectic polysaccharides solubilized in vivo during ripening, were isolated using phenol, acetic acid, and water (PAW) from the outer pericarp of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa [A. Chev.] C.F. Liang and A.R. Ferguson var deliciosa `Hayward') before and after postharvest ethylene treatment. Insoluble polysaccharides of the cell wall materials (CWMs) were solubilized in vitro by chemical extraction with 0.05 molar cyclohexane-trans-1,2-diamine tetraacetate (CDTA), 0.05 molar Na2CO3, 6 molar guanidinium thiocyanate, and 4 molar KOH. The Na2CO3-soluble fraction decreased by 26%, and the CDTA-soluble fraction increased by 54% 1 day after ethylene treatment. Concomitantly, an increase in the pectic polymer content of the PAW-soluble fraction occurred without loss of galactose from the cell wall. The molecular weight of the PAW-soluble pectic fraction 1 day after ethylene treatment was similar to that of the Na2CO3-soluble fraction before ethylene treatment. Four days after ethylene treatment, 60% of cell wall polyuronide was solubilized, and 50% of the galactose was lost from the CWM, but the degree of galactosylation and molecular weight of pectic polymers remaining in the CWMs did not decrease. The exception was the CDTA-soluble fraction which showed an apparent decrease in molecular weight during ripening. Concurrently, the PAW-soluble pectic fraction showed a 20-fold reduction in molecular weight. The results suggest that considerable solubilization of the pectic polymers occurred during ripening without changes to their primary structure or degree of polymerization. Following solubilization, the polymers then became susceptible to depolymerization and degalactosidation. Pectolytic enzymes such as endopolygalacturonase and β-galactosidase were therefore implicated in the degradation of solubilized cell wall pectic polymers but not the initial solubilization of the bulk of the pectic polymers in vivo. 相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae produced significantly different amounts of pectic enzymes when grown on cell walls from morphologically different parts of onion bulbs. Cell walls from stem plate tissue of both tolerant and susceptible onion genotypes allowed a rapid and high production of both exo-polygalacturonase and endo-pectin-frans-eliminase. Bulb scale cell walls from susceptible genotypes induced synthesis of these enzymes at much lower rates and levels, whereas bulb scale cell walls from tolerant genotypes gave poor induction of pectic enzyme synthesis. Leaf sheath cell walls from both susceptible and tolerant genotypes were poor inducers of enzyme synthesis. Enzyme induction by cell walls from leaf sheaths and bulb scales of tolerant genotypes increased dramatically during ageing. Differences in pectic enzyme accumulation on cell walls were not related to fungal growth. These patterns of enzyme induction could help to explain susceptibility or tolerance of bulb scale and leaf sheath tissue of the different genotypes. 相似文献

The production of extracellular pectic isoenzymes by seven strains of soft rot bacteria, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, E.c. atroseptica and E. chrysanthemi , when grown in media containing four different pectic substances with different degrees of methylation or with potato tuber cell-wall extract was examined by isoelectric focusing activity staining. In addition to the isoenzymes of pectate lyase, polygalacturonase and pectin methyl esterase produced constitutively or following induction by polygalacturonic acid (PGA) and coded by known genes, between two and seven novel isoenzymes of the three enzymes with a wider pI range were apparently induced by the pectins and cell-wall extract. Pectin lyase, which is induced in vitro by DNA-damaging agents, was not produced in the absence of mitomycin C in a medium containing PGA but up to two isoenzymes were found with pectin or cell-wall extract. In contrast, cellulase isoenzyme production was not affected by pectin or cell-wall extract. A greater number of novel isoenzymes of all pectic enzymes except pectin lyase tended to be produced in media containing Link pectin, which is PGA methylated to 98%, than the other pectic substances and cell-wall extract. Pectate lyase and polygalacturonase were induced by pectin lyase-degraded products of highly methylated pectin but not by PGA in an E. chrysanthemi strain with all its known pei and peh genes mutated. The results suggest that the production of novel pectic isoenzymes could be related to the presence of CH+ 3 groups and that their induction differs from that for isomers induced by PGA-degraded products and DNA-damaging agents or produced constitutively. 相似文献

Past workers have suggested pectic enzyme involvement in the invasion of legumes by Rhizobium. However, no role for pectic acid, pectin, or methyl cellulose depolymerase enzymes in the invasion of R. japonicum was suggested by the current study. Seedling inoculation with infective bacteria did not result in increased enzyme activity. Rhizobium japonicum cell-free culture extracts and 3-indoleacetic acid did not affect the activation, induction, or binding of these enzymes. 相似文献

The development of Agrobacterium tumefaciens-induced plant tumors primarily depends on the excessive production of auxin and cytokinin by enzymes encoded on T-DNA genes integrated into the plant genome. The aim of the present study was to investigate the involvement of additional phytohormone signals in the vascularization required for rapid tumor proliferation. In stem tumors of Ricinus communis L., free auxin and zeatin riboside concentrations increased within 2 weeks to 15-fold the concentrations in control stem tissue. Auxin and cytokinin immunolocalization revealed the highest concentrations within and around tumor vascular bundles with concentration gradients. The time-course of changes in free auxin concentration in roots was inversely correlated with that in the tumors. The high ethylene emission induced by increased auxin- and cytokinin correlated with a 36-fold accumulation of abscisic acid in tumors. Ethylene emitted from tumors and exogenously applied ethylene caused an increase in abscisic acid concentrations also in the host leaves, with a diminution in leaf water vapor conductance. Jasmonic acid concentration reached a maximum already within the first week of bacterial infection. A wound effect could be excluded. The results demonstrate the concerted interaction of a cascade of transiently induced, non-T-DNA-encoded phytohormones jasmonic acid, ethylene and abscisic acid with T-DNA-encoded auxin and zeatin riboside plus trans-zeatin, all of which are required for successful plant tumor vascularization and development together with inhibition of host plant growth. 相似文献

Salicylic acid (SA), a common plant phenolic compound, influences diverse physiological and biochemical processes in plants.
To gain insight into the mode of interaction between auxin, ethylene, and SA, the effect of SA on auxininduced ethylene production
in mung bean hypocotyls was investigated. Auxin markedly induced ethylene production, while SA inhibited the auxin-induced
ethylene synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. At 1 mM of SA, auxininduced ethylene production decreased more than 60% in
hypocotyls. Results showed that the accumulation of ACC was not affected by SA during the entire period of auxin treatment,
indicating that the inhibition of auxin-induced ethylene production by SA was not due to the decrease in ACC synthase activity,
the rate-limiting step for ethylene biosynthesis. By contrast, SA effectively reduced not only the basal level of ACC oxidase
activity but also the wound-and ethylene-induced ACC oxidase activity, the last step of ethylene production, in a dose-dependent
manner. Northern and immuno blot analyses indicate that SA does not exert any inhibitory effect on the ACC oxidase gene expression,
whereas it effectively inhibits both the in vivo and in vitro ACC oxidase enzyme activity, thereby abolishing auxin-induced
ethylene production in mung bean hypocotyl tissue. It appears that SA inhibits ACC oxidase enzyme activity through the reversible
interaction with Fe2+, an essential cofactor of this enzyme. These results are consistent with the notion that ethylene production is controlled
by an intimate regulatory interaction between auxin and SA in mung bean hypocotyl tissue. 相似文献

Internal ethylene concentration, ability to convert 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene (ethylene-forming enzyme [EFE] activity) and ACC content in the peel of apples (Malus domestica Borkh., cv Golden Delicious) increased only slightly during fruit maturation on the tree. Treatment of immature apples with 100 microliters ethylene per liter for 24 hours increased EFE activity in the peel tissue, but did not induce an increase in ethylene production. This ability of apple peel tissue to respond to ethylene with elevated EFE activity increased exponentially during maturation on the tree. After harvest of mature preclimacteric apples previously treated with aminoethoxyvinyl-glycine, 0.05 microliter per liter ethylene did not immediately cause a rapid increase of development in EFE activity in peel tissue. However, 0.5 microliter per liter ethylene and higher concentrations did. The ethylene concentration for half-maximal promotion of EFE development was estimated to be approximately 0.9 microliter per liter. CO2 partially inhibited the rapid increase of ethylene-promoted development of EFE activity. It is suggested that ethylene-promoted CO2 production is involved in the regulation of autocatalytic ethylene production in apples. 相似文献
