Activities of nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1), nitrite reductase (NiR; EC 1.7.7.1), glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.4.1.3) were measured in cotyledons of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv Peredovic) seedlings during germination and early growth under various external nitrogen sources. The presence of NO

The increase of NR activity was impaired both by cycloheximide and chloramphenicol, which indicates that both cytoplasmic 80S and plastidic 70S ribosomes are involved in the synthesis of the NR molecule. By contrast, the appearance of NiR activity was only inhibited by cycloheximide, indicating that NiR seems to be exclusively synthesized on the cytoplasmic 80S ribosomes. Glutamine-synthetase activity was also strongly increased by external NO

The cotyledons of the dry seed contain high levels of GDH activity which decline during germination independently of the presence or absence of a nitrogen source. Cycloheximide, but not chloramphenicol, greatly prevented the decrease of GDH activity.Abbreviations GDH

Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT; EC 1.4.7.1) is the last enzyme involved in the pathway of nitrate assimilation in higher plants. This paper describes the synthesis and expression of the enzyme in anaerobic coleoptiles of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its regulation by exogenous nitrate. The activity of Fd-GOGAT was strongly inhibited by cycloheximide between 4 and 9 d of anaerobic germination. The addition of nitrate slightly increased, in the first 5 h, the specific activity of Fd-GOGAT as well as the amount of a 160-kDa protein specifically immunoprecipitated with anti-Fd-GOGAT serum. Northern blot analysis, performed with a specific riboprobe, showed the presence of mRNA of the expected size and the inductive effect of nitrate. The role of Fd-GOGAT is discussed in relation to the anaerobic assimilation of nitrate by rice coleoptiles.Abbreviations CHX

Chlorella sorokiniana possesses two forms of nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1.). One with low activity is present in cells at the end of the light-dark cycle, the other with high activity is present after 1 h of illumination. The two forms can be distinguished by gel electrophoresis, isopycnic centrifugation, assay of the partial reactions and their sensitivity to antibodies, respectively. These differences are discussed with respect to an effect of intracellular nitrate on the activation of nitrate reductase.Abbreviations NAR

Germination of lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) seeds was accompanied by an increase in concentration of free radicals with g
1
and g
2
values of 2.0056 ± 0.0003 and 2.0033 ± 0.0005, respectively. The highest intensity of free radical signal was observed in
embryo axes immediately after radicle protruded through the seed coat. Hydrogen peroxide accumulated in embryonic axes and
cotyledons during imbibition before the onset of germination in the seed population. The activities of superoxide dismutase
(SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) and catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) rose progressively in embryo axes. In cotyledons SOD activity did not change
significantly, while that of CAT increased during germination. The enhancement of Cu, Zn-SODs and Mn-SOD isoforms in embryonic
axes was observed. A new isoform of catalase was synthesized, suggesting that it plays a relevant role during germination.
SOD and CAT activities were detected in dry seeds. Free radical generation and response of antioxidative enzymes differed
between embryo axes and cotyledons during the germination timecourse. 相似文献

Activities of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes in seedlings of barnyard grass (Echinochloa phyllopogon (Stapf.) Koss) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) germinated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions were investigated. In E. phyllopogon, development of TCA-cycle enzyme activities during 10 d of anoxia generally paralleled those in air, although at lower rates. After 5 d, E. phyllopogon seedlings germinating under N2 exhibited 50–80% of the activity of seedlings grown in air, except for 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.2) and fumarate reductase (EC 1.3.1.6) which exhibited only 25–35% of aerobic activity. In anaerobically germinated rice, development of TCA-cycle enzyme activities also paralleled those in air except for aconitase (EC 4.2.1.3), isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41), and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. Those enzymes did not increase in activity under anoxia. Development of maximum enzyme activities generally occurred more rapidly and persisted longer in E. phyllopogon compared to rice. The data indicate that mitochondria of E. phyllopogon function better during anaerobiosis than those of rice and this factor may contribute to the successful biochemical strategy of this weed in rice paddies throughout the world.Abbreviation TCA

Three nitrate reductase activities were detected in Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 by physiological and mutant analysis. The first (NAS) was subject to repression by ammonia and not affected by oxygen indicating a nitrate assimilatory function. The second (NAR) membrane-bound activity was only formed in the absence of oxygen and was insensitive to ammonia repression indicating a nitrate respiratory function. The third (NAP) activity of potential respiratory function occurred in the soluble fraction of cells grown to the stationary phase of growth. In contrast to NAR and NAS, expression of NAP did not require nitrate for induction and was independent of the rpoN gene product. Genes for the three reductases map at different loci. NAR and NAS are chromosomally encoded whereas NAP is a megaplasmid-borne activity in A. eutrophus. 相似文献

Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC.6.3.1.2.) occurs as cytosolic (GS1) and plastidic (GS2) polypeptides. This paper describes the expression of GS isoenzymes in coleoptile during the anaerobic germination of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and the influence of exogenous nitrate on this. By immunoprecipitation with anti-GS serum, two polypeptides of 41- and 44-kDa were detected of which the former was predominant. After fractionation by ion-exchange chromatography, the 41 and 44 kDa bands were identified as GS1 and GS2, respectively. Northern blot analysis with specific probes showed the presence of mRNA for cytosolic GS but not for the plastidic form. The presence of exogenous nitrate did not alter the activity and expression of GS in the coleoptile. The role of GS during the anaerobic germination of rice seems to induce the re-assimilation of ammonia rather than the assimilation of nitrate.Abbreviations GS

Pulsed light and nitrate exhibit an interactive effect on the germination ofPaulownia tomentosa Steud. seeds that require long periods of light irradiation. Two pulses of red light (R), separated by an adequately long
dark interval, substitute for continuous prolonged irradiation. A far-red (FR) pulse given at the beginning of the dark interval
inhibits germination, while it has no effect if given at the end. The requirement for certain ratios of the far-red-absorbing
form of phytochrome/total phytochrome (Pfr/Ptot) differs when a FR+R-pulse is given as the first or second of two pulses (FR+R or R) separated by a dark interval. An equal
decrease of the Pfr/Ptot ratio leads to a more pronounced decrease in germination when the pulse of the same FR+R ratio is given as the second pulse
at the end of the dark interval. The length of dark interval between light pulses needed for maximal germination, differed
in (i) seeds with a natural requirement for long periods of light irradiation from that in (ii) seeds with their long light
requirement imposed by two weeks of imbibition in darkness or by (iii) imbibition in 40% heavy water. However, a single R
pulse was sufficient to induce a high percentage of germination if the seeds were supplied with KNO3 (10 mM) from the onset of imbibition up to the onset of light. This effect decreased with a delayed time of application,
and was prevented if FR preceded the KNO3 application.

The pericarp of the dormant sugarbeet fruit acts as a storage reservoir for nitrate, ammonium and -amino-N. These N-reserves enable an autonomous development of the seedling for 8–10 d after imbibition. The nitrate content of the seed (1% of the whole fruit) probably induces nitrate-reductase activity in the embryo enclosed in the pericarp. Nitrate that leaks out of the pericarp is reabsorbed by the emerging radicle. Seedlings germinated from seeds (pericarp was removed) without external N-supply are able to take up nitrate immediately upon exposure via a low-capacity uptake system (vmax = 0.8 mol NO

·(g root FW)–1·h–1; Ks = 0.08 mM) by externally supplied nitrate occurs after a 20-min lag and requires protein synthesis. Seedlings germinated from whole fruits absorb nitrate via a highcapacity uptake mechanism induced by the pericarp nitrate (748 nmol/pericarp) during germination. The uptake rates of the high-capacity system depend only on the actual nitrate concentration of the uptake medium and not on prior nitrate pretreatments. Nitrate deprivation results in a decline of the nitrate-uptake capacity (t1/2 of vmax = 5 d) probably caused by the decay of carrier molecules. Small differences in Ks but significant differences in vmax indicate that the low- and high-capacity nitrate-uptake systems differ only in the number of identical carrier molecules.Abbreviations NR

The effect of temperature on the level of dormancy of primary and secondary dormant Carex pendula and Carex remota seeds was investigated. Primary dormant and secondary dormant seeds were stratified for 4 weeks at 5, 11, 13, and 15 °C, respectively, and tested for germination at 15/5 °C in light. To obtain secondary dormant seeds, primary dormant seeds were stratified at 5 °C and afterwards at 25 °C for 4 weeks. Germination tests were carried out in water and in 25 μmol KNO3-solution to examine differences in sensitivity to nitrate between seeds relieved from primary and secondary dormancy. In both species, seeds with primary and with induced secondary dormancy showed no significant differences in germination. The two sedges showed significant differences in the effect of stratification temperatures between primary and secondary dormant seeds. Primary dormant seeds of C. pendula showed high germination (>80%) in nitrate-solution after stratification at all temperatures, while only temperatures of 5, 11, and 13 °C led to higher germination in nitrate-solution in secondary dormant seeds. Germination percentages of primary and of secondary dormant C. pendula seeds in water increased to a higher extent only after stratification at 5 and 11 °C; stratification of 11 °C was more effective in secondary than in primary dormant seeds. The only temperature that relieved primary dormancy in C. remota seeds was 5 °C where germination in water and nitrate-solution was >90%. Germination of secondary dormant seeds was increased by stratification at 11 °C independent of the test solution but higher germination after stratification at 13 °C occurred only in nitrate-solution. The results support the existence of physiological differences in the regulation of primary and secondary dormancy by temperature, and in the reaction of nitrate, at least in C. remota. 相似文献

The regulation of the development of nitrate reductase (NR) activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardii has been compared in a wild-type strain and in a mutant (nit-A) which possesses a modified nitrate reductase enzyme that is non-functional in vivo. The modified enzyme cannot use NAD(P)H as an electron donor for nitrate reduction and it differs from wild-type enzyme in that NR activity is not inactivated in vitro by incubation with NAD(P)H and small quantities of cyanide; it is inactivated when reduced benzyl viologen or flavin mononucleotide is present. After short periods of nitrogen starvation mutant organisms contain much higher levels of terminal-NR activity than do similarly treated wild-type ones. Despite the inability of the mutant to utilize nitrate, no nitrate or nitrite was found in nitrogen-starved cultures; it is therefore concluded that the appearance of NR activity is not a consequence of nitrification. After prolonged nitrogen starvation (22 h) the NR level in the mutant is low. It increases rapidly if nitrate is then added and this increase in activity does not occur in the presence of ammonium, tungstate or cycloheximide. Disappearance of preformed NR activity is stimulated by addition of tungstate and even more by addition of ammonium. The results are interpreted as evidence for a continuous turnover of NR in cells of the mutant with ammonium both stimulating NR breakdown and stopping NR synthesis. Nitrate protects the enzyme from breakdown. Reversible inactivation of NR activity is thought to play an insignificant rôle in the mutant.Abbreviations NR

Oxygen limitation is a crucial problem in amino acid fermentation by Corynebacterium glutamicum. Toward this subject, our study was initiated by analysis of the oxygen-requiring properties of C. glutamicum, generally regarded as a strict aerobe. This organism formed colonies on agar plates up to relatively low oxygen concentrations
(0.5% O2), while no visible colonies were formed in the absence of O2. However, in the presence of nitrate (), the organism exhibited limited growth anaerobically with production of nitrite (), indicating that C. glutamicum can use nitrate as a final electron acceptor. Assays of cell extracts from aerobic and hypoxic cultures yielded comparable
nitrate reductase activities, irrespective of nitrate levels. Genome analysis revealed a narK2GHJI cluster potentially relevant to nitrate reductase and transport. Disruptions of narG and narJ abolished the nitrate-dependent anaerobic growth with the loss of nitrate reductase activity. Disruption of the putative
nitrate/nitrite antiporter gene narK2 did not affect the enzyme activity but impaired the anaerobic growth. These indicate that this locus is responsible for nitrate
respiration. Agar piece assays using l-lysine- and l-arginine-producing strains showed that production of both amino acids occurred anaerobically by nitrate respiration, indicating
the potential of C. glutamicum for anaerobic amino acid production. 相似文献

Gibberellins regulate seed germination in tomato by endosperm weakening: a study with gibberellin-deficient mutants 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
The germination of seeds of tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill.] cv. Moneymaker has been compared with that of seeds of the gibberellin-deficient dwarf-mutant line ga-1, induced in the same genetic background. Germination of tomato seeds was absolutely dependent on the presence of either endogenous or exogenous gibberellins (GAs). Gibberellin A4+7 was 1000-fold more active than commercial gibberellic acid in inducing germination of the ga-1 seeds. Red light, a preincubation at 2°C, and ethylene did not stimulate germination of ga-1 seeds in the absence of GA4+7; however, fusicoccin did stimulate germination independently. Removal of the endosperm and testa layers opposite the radicle tip caused germination of ga-1 seeds in water. The seedlings and plants that develop from the detipped ga-1 seeds exhibited the extreme dwarfy phenotype that is normal to this genotype. Measurements of the mechanical resistance of the surrounding layers showed that the major action of GAs was directed to the weakening of the endosperm cells around the radicle tip. In wild-type seeds this weakening occurred in water before radicle protrusion. In ga-1 seeds a similar event was dependent on GA4+7, while fusicoccin also had some activity. Simultaneous incubation of de-embryonated endosperms and isolated axes showed that wild-type embryos contain and endosperm-weakening factor that is absent in ga-1 axes and is probably a GA. Thus, an endogenous GA facilitates germination in tomato seeds by weakening the mechanical restraint of the endosperm cells to permit radicle protrusion.Abbreviations GA(s)

Effect of chloramphenicol and cycloheximide on the induction of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase in bean leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary In etiolated leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Prelude only low levels of NADH-nitrate oxidoreductase (E.C. 1.6.6.2; NAR) and reduced benzyl viologen-nitrite oxidoreductase (E.C. 1.6.6.4; NIR) could be detected, even in the presence of nitrate. When nitrate was available illumination of leaves of 10-day-old etiolated seedlings resulted in an induction of both NAR and NIR. In the absence of nitrate no induction of the enzymes took place, although greening of the leaves was normal. Chloramphenicol (CAP) and cycloheximide (CHI), applied at the beginning of the light period, inhibited the induction of both NAR and NIR. Administered after 24 h of illumination CHI still inhibited the induction of both enzymes whereas CAP was no longer inhibitory. The induction of NAR and NIR by nitrate in green leaves in light was inhibited by CHI but not by CAP. From these results it seems likely that both the enzymes NAR and NIR are synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. Before the enzymes can be manufactured in the cytoplasm some chloroplast development is required.Abbreviations CAP

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings pretreated with different hormones viz. kinetin, gibberellic acid and abscisic acid were subjected to different
N-forms. The seedlings were treated with different concentrations of KNO3, NH4Cl and NH4NO3 and the changes in nitrate reductase activity were seen in light and dark conditions in the cotyledons. Nitrate reductase
activity was affected differently by hormone application. Nitrate increased and ammonia decreased nitrate reductase activity;
in both light and dark-grown seedlings KNO3 induced more in vitro nitrate reductase activity. NH

Comparative studies of nitrate-activated nitrate reductase (NR-NO2) and nitrate-induced nitrate reductase (NR-NO3) (EC 1.6.6.2) indicate that the enzymes differ in structure, heat stability, and pH dependence, but have the same cofactor requirment. NR-NO2 developes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. Dvir) seedlings as NR-NO3 disappears. A transition from the active to the inactive form of nitrate reductase takes place. Nitrite seems to activate the inactive form of the enzyme. 相似文献

The activities of nitrite reductase (EC 1.7.7.1) are 60–70% of wild-type activity in pigment-deficient leaves of the chloroplast-ribosomedeficient mutants albostrians (Hordeum vulgare) and iojap (Zea mays). The activity and apoprotein of nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1.) are lacking in the barley mutant. Only very low activities of nitrate reductase can be extracted from leaves of the maize mutant. The molybdenum cofactor of nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.3.2) is present in maize and barley mutant plants. However, it is not inducible by nitrate in pigment-deficient leaves of albostrians. From these results we conclude: (i) Nitrite reductase (a chloroplast enzyme) is synthesized in the cytoplasm and does not need the presence of nitrate reductase for the induction and maintenance if its activity. (ii) The loss or low activity of nitrate reductase is a consequence of the inability of the mutants to accumulate the apoprotein of this enzyme. (iii) The chloroplasts influence the accumulation (i.e. most probably the synthesis) of the nonchloroplast enzyme, nitrate reductase. The accumulation of nitrate reductase needs a chloroplast factor which is not provided by mutant plastids blocked at an early stage of their development.Abbreviations CRM

A rapid uptake of nitrogen was observed in nitrogen-starved cells of Platymonas striata after refeeding with ammonium or nitrate ions. This was followed by a net loss of nitrogen per cell. Cells initially grown in and then starved in a regime of continuous light showed greater increases in average cell nitrogen on refeeding with ammonium or nitrate ions than did cells initially grown in and then starved in a regime of alternating light and darkness. A particulate subcellular location was observed for nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) in broken cell suspensions prepared by sonication. Nitrite reductase (EC 1.6.6.4) was located in the soluble fraction of these cell suspensions. Broken cell preparations displayed a lowered nitrate reductase activity as compared with the particulate component of these preparations. This was shown not to be due to heat-stable inhibitors present in the soluble phase of the cell. It appeared to be an artefact produced by the high nitrite reductase activity of the broken cell preparations, which removed much of the nitrite as it was formed. Nitrogen starvation of nitrate-grown cultures produced cellular increases in nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase activities which were further increased after the addition of nitrate. The results are discussed.Abbreviations ASP2
