Fusarium moniliforme secreted macerating enzymes in liquid mediaonly when these contained certain natural extracts, pectic substances,or galacturonic acid. Apple extract was unsuitable for enzymesecretion and also inhibited enzyme secretion in synthetic mediaotherwise suitable. Protopectinase activity of solutions was highest in the pH range8·09·0, was rapidly lost at temperaturesabove 5060° C., and was reduced by concentrationsof phosphate higher than 0·02 M. The enzyme was partiallypurified by precipitation in 60 per cent. acetone at pH 6·0. Protopectinase solutions also contained an enzyme which reducedthe viscosity of solutions of various pectic substances. Theproperties of this enzyme were, in general, similar to thoseof protopectinase. When activity of enzyme solutions was measured by the liberationof reducing groups, pectate solutions were more rapidly degradedthan were solutions of a high methoxyl pectin, particularlyin the early stages of the reaction. Paper chromatography ofthe products formed showed that pectate and pectin were degradedin different ways. Although the pathogen readily secreted protopectinase in potatoextract, potato tubers were not readily parasitized. In contrast,Fusarium avenaceum which readily attacked tubers, secreted littleprotopectinase in potato extract. 相似文献

Cell-free extracts from soft rots of potato tubers caused byErwinia atroseptica and Corticium praticola readily caused cellseparation and loss of electrolytes in discs of potato tubers.Both were most rapid at pH and Ca++ ion concentration optimalfor the activity of a pectate trans-climinase in the E. atrosepticaextract and a pectate polygalacturonase in the C. praticolarot extract. Permeability changes and killing of protoplastsbut not cell separation were delayed when solutes at plasmolysingconcentrations were added to the solutions of the cell-separatingenzymes. The role of these enzymes in the permeability changesand killing of protoplasts is discussed. 相似文献

Studies in the Physiology of Parasitism: XIX. On the Killing of Plant Cells by Enzymes from Botrytis cinerea and Bacterium aroideae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
1. Enzyme preparations were obtained from culture filtratesof the soft-rot pathogens Botrytis cinerea Pers. and Bacteriumaroideae (Townsend) Stapp grown in simple synthetic nutrientmedia. Crude culture filtrates and preparations purified byacetone-precipitation and dialysis had three characteristicproperties. They (i) decreased viscosity of pectin and pectatesolutions, (ii) macerated parenchymatous tissues of higher plants,and (iii) killed cells of tissues so macerated. A parallelismwas demonstrated between activity estimated by these three criteria. 2. B. cinerea enzyme preparations were active from about pH3.5 to pH 6.0, activity decreasing rapidly from pH 6.o to nearlynil at pH 8.0. Conversely B. aroideae was most active abovepH 8.0, activity decreasing progressively to nearly nil at pH5.5. 3. Both enzymes lost much activity on prolonged dialysis againstdistilled water and this was not recovered on readdition ofdialysed salts. On dialysis against certain salts or salt mixturesreduced or negligible losses occurred. 4. Plasmolysing concentrations of salts or non-electrolytesgreatly retarded the killing action of the enzyme preparations,the effect being out of all proportion to that on macerationor on rate of pectin degradation. 5. Protoplasts were isolated in the plasmolysed condition fromcertain tissues. These were resistant to toxicity in similarmanner to those inside the tissue. 相似文献

Pectic activity in autolyzed cultures of Botrytis cinerea in a medium with and without pectin was similar, but in the medium with pectin maximal activities occurred in younger cultures. The pectic activities found were polygalacturonase, polymethylgalacturonase, endo activity (pectin as substrate) and pectin lyase. The molecular weights of polygalacturonase, polymethylgalacturonase and endo activity (pectin as substrate) were 36000, 33000 and 30200 daltons respectively, and the molecular weight of pectin lyase was 18200 daltons. By gel electrophoresis four different pectic activities were detected, three in the top of the gel and one in the bottom. Two enzymes were characterized, the polygalacturonase activity (first band in the top) inhibited by Ca++ and the pectin lyase activity (in the bottom) which was not inhibited by Ca++. These enzymes are not induced by the presence of pectin in the medium during degradation of Botrytis cinerea. 相似文献

Some properties of shikimate: NADP oxidoreductase produced in sweet potato root tissue after slicing
The activity of shikimate: NADP oxidoreductase [EC 1. 1. 1.25] in sweet potato root tissue increased soon after slicing.Enzyme preparations obtained from both sliced tissue and fromfresh tissue probably contained a single enzyme component, andthey showed identical chromatographical behaviour. Km values of the enzyme for NADP and shikimate were 1.0x104Mand 1.3 x 103M, respectively. Enzyme activity was potentlyinhibited by SH-inhibitors such as p-chloromercuribenzoate andoxidized glutathione. Enzyme activity was affected neither by mononucleotides suchas ATP, ADP and AMP, divalent cations, Mg++, Ca++ and Mn++,nor by metabolites such as tryptophan, phenylalanine, tyrosineand t-cinnamic acid which are involved in aromatic compoundsyntheses. The enzyme rapidly lost its activity. This inactivation reactionshowed a time course consisting of two steps of the first-orderreaction. The inactivated enzyme preparation was not reactivatedby thiol compounds such as cysteine, 2-mercaptoethanol and glutathione,although these reagents, to a certain extent, protected theenzyme from inactivation. The results suggest that denaturationof the enzyme protein was involved in inactivation of the enzyme.

Membrane-bound Mg++-activated ATPase was separated from thelower epidermis of tobacco leaves (Nicotiand tabacum L. SamsunNN) on stepwise sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Membrane-bound epidermal ATPase was localized in the interfaceof densities in sucrose of 1.12 to 1.16 in the sedimentary fractionbetween 1,500?g to 10,000?g from the homogenate of the lowerepidermis. The epidermal ATPase activity was activated by divalentcations (Mg++>Mn++Co++>Fe++>Zn++>Ca++) and furtherstimulated by KCl by ca. 20%. The pH optimum for Mg++-activationof the epidermal ATPase was ca. 6.0. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATPmore rapidly than other nucleoside triphosphates. The optimumtemperature for activation of the epidermal ATPase activitywas ca. 40?C. 50% of the epidermal ATPase activity was lostin 18 min at 55?C and in 2.5 days at 2.5?C. The apparent Kmvalue of the epidermal ATPase was 4.7?104 M and Vmaxwas 65.4 nmoles Pi/mg protein/min. The epidermal ATPase wasstrongly inhibited by N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)in vitro whereas oligomycin, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone(CCGP), indoleacetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) wereinsensitive to the epidermal ATPase activity.

An isolate of Verticillium dahliae obtained from Uganda was highly virulent to young cotton plants under greenhouse conditions. A hyaline variant which often appeared in culture was as virulent as the parent isolate, but preliminary experiments indicated that it did not survive as long in unsterile soil. The parent isolate grew rapidly in cotton plants after root inoculation and was isolated from stems and leaves well before the appearance of disease symptoms visible to the naked eye.
Protopectinase was produced in the absence of pectic materials, but more active preparations were obtained when media contained pectic substances. In general, there was a close correspondence between the protopectinase activity of culture filtrates and the toxicity of these filtrates to parenchymatous cells. Some separation of the two activities was obtained by heating enzyme solutions or by plasmolysing the test tissue.
Protopectinase solutions had little pectinesterase activity but rapidly reduced the viscosity of solutions of pectic substances. In general, the properties of protopectinase and the viscosity-reducing enzyme were similar.
Young cotton shoots wilted rapidly when placed in cell-free filtrates from cultures of the pathogen. Wilting was delayed under conditions unfavourable for transpiration. Evidence was obtained which showed that wilting was caused by the uptake of thermostable compounds of high molecular weight which impeded the upward flow of the vascular sap. Pronounced vascular browning was obtained only when solutions containing protopectinase were used. Wilting and vascular browning were obtained with solutions having little pectinesterase activity; in contrast, a solution having high pectinesterase activity produced relatively little vascular browning. 相似文献

Pectolytic enzyme formation by whole cells of Erwinia aroideae was markedly stimulated when nalidixic acid was added to a culture medium. The activity of pectolytic enzyme was markedly stimulated by nalidixic acid when the activity was measured by the decrease of viscosity of pectin, while activities of both polygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase and polygalacturonase which were measured respectively by the increase of optical density at 230 nm and the liberation of aldehyde groups, were not stimulated. The analysis of pectolytic enzyme by carboxymethyl cellulose column chromatography indicated that there was a significant difference in the elution profiles between the pectolytic enzyme induced by nalidixic acid and that synthesized under normal conditions. Therefore, we conclude that two enzymes are distinct protein species. 相似文献

The Y-organs of crustaceans secrete ecdysteroids (molting hormones)and are regulated (negatively) by a neurosecretory peptide,molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH). Signaling path(s) in Y-organswere explored that connect MIH receptors ultimately with suppressionof receptor number for the uptake of cholesterol (ecdysteroidprecursor) and of gene expression of steroidogenic enzymes.Experiments were conducted in vitro with Y-organs of crabs (Cancerantennarius, Menippe mercenaria) and crayfishes (Orconectessp.). It was confirmed in all species that steroidogenesis occursin the absence of external calcium (Ca++), but increases toa maximum as Ca++ is increased to 1 to 10 mM and is substantiallyinhibited at higher Ca++ concentrations. MIH does not requireexternal Ca++ for inhibitory action, but inhibition is eliminatedby high Ca++concentrations. Several experimental approachesfailed to find evidence of phospholipase C activation, turnoverof inositol triphosphate or diacylglycerol generation connectedwith steroidogenesis. Unbinding or chelation of intracellularCa++ with thapsigargin or TMB-8, respectively both caused dose-dependentinhibition of ecdysteroid output. Blockade of Ca++ channelswith verapamil, nifedipine or nicardipine also inhibited steroidogenesis;highest doses inhibited profoundly to below Ca++-free basallevels. Inhibition also was obtained with all doses of the Ca++channel agonist/antagonist () BAY K 8644 in crabs, butin crayfishes lower doses were stimulatory. However, if thecrayfish cells were depolarized, allowing greater Ca++ influx,the previously stimulatory doses of BAY K 8644 became inhibitory.Y-organ protein kinase C (PKC) is Ca++-sensitive. Activationof PKC was uniformly stimulatory in crabs, but inhibitory incrayfishes. Cytochalasin D, which disrupts the actin cytoskeleton,and which causes moderate Ca++ influx, stimulated hormone formation.These results are interpreted to indicate a regulatory rolefor Ca++ in ecdysteroidogenesis, involving a local, submembranecirculation of Ca++ through ion channels and Ca++ pumps andinteraction with PKC in phosphorylating key proteins. An optimallocal Ca++ environment fostering hormone synthesis is evidentsince too little or too much Ca++ is inhibitory. Methyl farnesoate (MF) had no effect on ecdysone productionin crab or crayfish Y-organs in 24-hr incubations with MF at100 pM to 10 µM. 相似文献

The greatest activity of protopectinase obtained from the growthof Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani on autoclaved potatoplugs occurred at pH 6.5, and greatest activity of the lossof viscosity enzyme was found at 65 for Rhizoctonia,and between 6.5 and 8.3 for Fusarium. Protopectinase enzymeobtained from double infections of the Fusarium spp. with Rhizoctonia,or by mixing the enzymes of individual Fusarium spp. with Rhizoctoniaenzyme, were more active than the enzymes from single inoculations.Cylindrocarpon radicicola enzyme was more active when obtainedfrom a pure culture than from double infection. Similarly, mixingthis enzyme with the enzyme of Rhizoctonia reduced its activity.The evidence indicated that the protopectinase of Rhizoctoniawas similar to that of Cylindrocarpon and differed from thatof the Fusarium spp. Using paper partition chromatography, two bands from Rhizoctoniacrude enzyme had a stimulatory effect on Fusarium enzyme, whileonly one band from Fusarium enzyme stimulated Rhizoctonia enzyme. The purified enzyme of Rhizoctonia degraded pectin to galacturonicacid. Fusarium pure enzyme degraded pectin to an intermediatestage. A mixture of the two enzymes degraded pectin to galacturonicacid, without the intermediate stage formed by Fusarium alonebeing detected. The role played by pectic enzymes upon the synergistic relationof Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani on rotting potatotubers is discussed. 相似文献

ATPase in isolated glycerinated flagella of Chlamydomonas snowiaeis shown to be inhibited by high ATP concentrations, by DNPat pH 6.0 and by salyrgan. The enzyme is activated by Mg++ andthe activation is reversed by Ca++. A number of other factorswhich can affect the phototactic behaviour of the cells do notaffect ATPase activity, indicating that the response of directionalmotility is under separate control in the intact cell.

Studies on the phosphomannose isomerase of Amorphophallus konjac C. Koch II. Effect of divalent metal ions on the EDTA-treated enzyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Konjak phosphomannose isomerase was inactivated in a time-dependentprocess by metal binding agents, and the inactivated enzymewas instantaneously reactivated by adding such metal ions asZn++, Co++, Fe++, Mn++ and Cu++. However, neither Ca++ nor Mg++were effective for reactivation. Zn++, at a low concentration,brought about complete reactivation of the enzyme at pH 67. The EDTA-treated enzyme was more susceptible to heat denaturationwhen compared with the native enzyme, but the addition of variousmetal ions caused the recovery of the thermal stability of theEDTA-treated enzyme. The magnitude of the recovery dependedon the metal ion species and the concentrations. The most effectivemetal ion was Co++, which caused the recovery of thermal stabilityto a level higher than that of the native enzyme. Phosphomannoseisomerase was inhibited by pchloromercuribenzoate and HgCl2;the inhibition by p-chloromercuribenzoate being more pronouncedas incubation progressed. In contrast, the EDTA-treated enzymewas more readily inhibited by the mercurial ion than was thenative enzyme. Zn++, when added to the EDTA-treated enzyme,markedly restored its resistance to the mercurial-induced inhibition.The metal-substituted enzyme was also inhibited by EDTA in atime-dependent process.

The triangular exchanges Cu++Zn++Ca++ have beenperformed in the Nitella flexilis cell wall. The selectivitysequence for the exchange of the cations is Cu++ » Zn++> Ca++. The presence of two types of exchange site has beenconfirmed. Possibly due to the Jahn-Teller effect, the cupricion forms inner-sphere coordination with functional groups ofthe sites. This results in lower rotional mobilities and loweractivity coefficients of the curpric ions immobilized closeto the negative charges in the Stern layer. At higher equivalentfractions, the cupric ions in the diffuse layer are more mobileand have activity coefficients close to one. 相似文献

NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase from the soluble fractionof maturing castor bean endosperm was partially purified (approximately180-fold) and some of its enzymatic properties were studied.Mg++, Mn++, Cd++, Ba++, Co++, Zn++, and Sr++ were activatorsof the enzyme reaction at a concentration of 6.7x10 M. The optimumpH of this enzyme was about 8.5. The enzyme was stable in thenarrow range from pH 7.0 to pH 8.0. Km values for isocitrateand NADP at pH 8.5 were 3.5x106 M and 3.6x106M, respectively. Enzyme stability was not affected by NaCl concentrationand enzyme reaction was inhibited at 5x106 M PCMB (80%inhibition). It is suggested that the condensation product ofglyoxylate and oxalacetate also inhibits the reaction. NADP-IDHin the crude extract from maturing castor bean endosperm washeat-stable but the dialyzed enzyme preparation and the partiallypurified enzyme were labile against heat treatment at 57°C.When Mg++ was added to the partially purified enzyme in thepresence of isocitrate or NADP, the enzyme was stabilized againstheat treatment. Mn++, Ca++, Co++, Sr++ or Ba++ could be substitutedfor Mg++. Addition of only one of the factors, Mg++, isocitrateor NADP, had no effect on the heat stability. Moreover, a combinationof isocitrate and NADP did not establish stabilization. A divalentcation plays a central role, while adenine nucleotide, especiallyATP, may have an important part in stabilization. (Received August 14, 1972; ) 相似文献

Maximal pectinolytic activity was detected in the culture filtrates of Thermomyces lanuginosus when grown in medium containing pectin and sucrose. The pectinolytic enzyme system was optimally active at pH 5.5 and at 70°C with potassium pectate and at pH 4.5 at 50°C with pectin as substrates. Zymogram analyses showed two activity bands with pectin and three with potassium pectate. 相似文献

L-Tyrosine carboxy-lyase (E. C. 4. 1. 1. 25) was extracted fromthe roots of barley seedlings and purified approximately 25fold. Optimum pH for the enzyme activity was found to be 7.3.The Km value for L-tyrosine was calulated as 4.5?104M.D-Isomer did not react with the enzyme. L-DOPA, m-tyrosine ando-tyrosine were decarboxylated to some extent. Pyridoxal phosphateactivated the enzyme 4 fold. Caffeic acid and p-coumaric acidare competitive inhibitors. Ki values were 4.5?105M forcaffeic acid and 1.6?104M for p-coumaric acid. L-DOPAand m-tyrosine had an inhibitory effect on the decarboxylationof L-tyrosine. Hydroxylamine, semicarbazide, p-CMB, Fe++, Cu++,and Hg++ inhibited the decarboxylation of tyrosine. Enzyme activitywas also found in extracts from Triticum aestivum, Zea maysand Cytisus scoparius.

Cultures of Gibberella fujikuroi grown under continuous illuminationof 1800 lux incorporated over 60% more leucine into the gibberellinsthan dark controls. In the dark at a C/N ratio of 37.6 Ca++increased the incorporations of leucine into A3 to essentiallythe same level as the light-stimulated incorporation. The failureof Ca++ to increase gibberellin synthesis in the dark at a C/Nratio of 9.4 suggested that light and Ca++ were exerting theirregulatory roles at different sites.

Cardiovascular Function in Turtles During Anoxia and Acidosis: In vivo and in vitro Studies 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
During prolonged experimental submergence, freshwater turtlesbecome anoxic and develop a combined respiratory and non-respiratoryacidosis. Anoxia and acidosis are known to depress cardiac functionin turtles and other vertebrate species. In vitro studies ofventricular and atrial tissue of turtles indicate that increasedextracellular Ca++ concentration can reverse these depressantactions. Intact turtlesutilize this compensatory mechanism duringanoxia and other conditions leading to acidosis byincreasingplasma Ca++ concentration. In addition, cardiac cells may releaseCa++ from cell organelles to compensate for induced respiratoryacidosis. Both mechanisms presumably improve cardiac contractilityby elevating the level of sarcoplasmicCa++. 相似文献

For determination of the effects of polymyxin B, polymyxin E,or ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) on plant cell membranes,the rates at which three solutes, K+, P1, and sugar, leakedfrom treated tissue culture cell suspensions of Nicotiana tabacumwere measured. The kinetics of leakage from cells treated witheither of the polymyxins was biphasic, whereas kinetics forcells treated with EDTA was monophasic. Only K+ leaked frompolymyxin-treated cells during the first phase, and all threesolutes leaked during the second phase. The slower first phaseis interpreted as leakage of K+ from the Donnan free space andcytoplasm, and the faster second phase as the leakage of solutesfrom the vacuole. The monophasic kinetics of EDTA treatmentindicated that solutes were leaking simultaneously from cytoplasmand vacuole. Of the divalent cations tested, only Ca++ and Mn++counteracted the effects of polymyxin and EDTA. Ca++ even restoredP1 and sugar uptake. Addition of Mg++ or Sr++ to polymyxin-treatedcells did not stop solute leakage but actually enhanced theleakage rates. A model is presented that suggests that polymyxinor EDTA induces solute leakage by forming pores in plant cellmembranes. The effects of divalent cations on membranes oncethe pores are formed are also discussed. Key words: Polymyxin, EDTA, Nicotiana tabacum, Solute leakage 相似文献
