The intracellular pH of an acidophilic unicellular alga, Cyanidiumcaldarium, was determined as a function of external pH by 31Pnuclear magnetic resonance. The algal cells incubated underaerobic conditions or under anaerobic and illuminated conditionsmaintained the intracellular pH in the range from 6.8 to 7.0even when the external pH was changed from 1.2 to 8.4. Underanaerobic and dark conditions, however, the intracellular pHacidified at the acidic pH region of the external medium. Theacidified intracellular pH reversibly returned to neutral eitheron aeration or illumination. The results indicate that, in Cyanidiumcells growing in extremely acidic environments, an active H+efflux (H+ pump) which depends on metabolic activity (respirationor photosynthesis) is essential to maintain the intracellularpH at a constant physiological level against the passive H+leakage due to the steep pH gradient across the cell membrane.

The light-induced H+ efflux observed at acidic pH in Cyanidiumcells was shown to be an active H+ transport depending on theintracellular ATP produced by cyclic photo-phosphorylation.Triton X-100 was found to act as an effective uncoupler in intactCyanidium cells without collapsing the pH gradient across theplasma membrane. Triton X-100 at 0.015% significantly reducedthe intracellular ATP levels, stimulated the p-BQ, Hill reactionand completely inhibited the light-induced H+ efflux. Inhibitionof the H+ efflux by Triton X-100 correlated well with the depressionof the apparent rale of light-induced ATP synthesis as wellas the decrease in the intracellular ATP level in light. The light-induced H+ efflux was completely inhibited by diethylstilbestrol,a specific inhibitor of plasma membrane ATPase, without anychanges in the intracellular ATP level, thereby suggesting theparticipation of the plasma membrane ATPase in the light-inducedH+ efflux. 1The data in this paper are included in the Ph.

The internodal cell of Chara australis was made tonoplast-freeby internal perfusion with a medium containing a Ca2+-chelatorEGTA and the net H+ efflux across the plasma membrane was estimatedeither by titration of the external medium or by measuring thechange in pH in the external medium. The amount of H+ effluxwas high in the presence of internal ATP and low in its absence.The ATP-dependent net H+ efflux was about 40 nmoles/m2/sec.This amount is smaller than that estimated for the pump currenton the basis of electrical data obtained earlier (3). This discrepancyis discussed. (Received June 18, 1980; )  相似文献

Catharanthus roseus(L.) G. Don cells acidified Mura-shige-Skoogmedium rapidly. Upon transfer to fresh medium, the medium pH(initially5.3) dropped below 4 within 2 d. This acidificationwas reversed under hypoxic conditions. The cells induced a similaracidification in a simple medium consisting of CaCl2, KCl, andglucose: medium pH dropped below 4 within 6 h. The acidificationwas accompanied by an influx of K+ at a H+(efflux)/K+ ratioof ca 0.6 as well as by an expansion of endogenous organic acidpool, in which malic and citric acids were the major components.Anoxia reversed all these processes: the direction of both K+and H+ fluxes reversed with a H+/K+ ratio of 1.70. Anoxia induceda cytoplasmic acidification from pH 7.6 (aerobic) to 7.4 asmeasured by 31P-NMR, accompanied by a rapid, long-lasting lactateaccumulation at expense of malic and citric acids. Evidencesuggested that accumulation of lactic acid was not a cause ofcytoplasmic acidification under anoxia, but a result of pH regulationby the biochemical pH-stat [Davies (1973) Symp. Soc. Exp. Biol.27: 513]. The anoxic acidification of the cytoplasm was ascribedto the influx of H+ from the medium. (Received April 18, 1997; Accepted July 8, 1997)  相似文献

Coupling of Proton Fluxes in the Polar Leaves of Potamogeton lucens L   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
An attempt has been made to quantify the light-induced H+ effluxand influx observed in polar leaves of Potamogeton lucens.Theseproton fluxes are spatially separated. The H+ efflux, mediatedby a plasmalemma bound H+ –ATPase, occurs across theplasmamembrane at the morphological lower epidermis and is accompaniedby an H+ influx (or OH efflux) at the upper side oftheleaf. As a result, these leaves exhibit a remarkable pH–polarityin the light. The pH near the lower epidermis may drop to avalueas low as 3.5, while a pH of about 10.5 can be observed at theupper epidermis. Obviously this phenomenon requires theco–ordinationof transport processes in the different cell layers of the leaftissue. These observations led to quantitative studies oftherelation between the H+ fluxes at either plasmalemma. Thesefluxes were calculated from the pH values recorded at twodistancesfrom the leaf surface. Although the H+ influx always exceededthe efflux, a coupling between the transport processesacrosseither plasma membrane became evident from the time–coursesof the two fluxes.

Light-induced H+ Efflux from Intact Cells of Cyanidium caldarium   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Light-induced pH changes in suspensions of an acidophilic unicellularalga, Cyanidium caldarium Geitler, were studied as a functionof the pH of the medium. In the neutral pH region, alkalizationof the medium due to photosynthetic CO2 uptake was observed.In the acidic pH region, illumination caused a significant decreasein the pH of the medium, indicating the efflux of H+ from thecells. Both the rate and extent of the pH decrease increasedas the pH of the medium was lowered to 3.0. The H+ efflux wasnot affected by 3-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-l,l-dimethylurea, butwas inhibited by phenylmercuric acetate. The fastest H+ effluxoccurred at 45°C, whereas its extent was almost constantfrom 25 to 50°C. The activity decreased at temperaturesabove 50°C and was inactivated completely at 60°C. Itsaction spectrum corresponded the spectrum for chlorophyll aabsorption. Results indicate that the light-induced H+ effluxis driven by photosystem I and is important in the maintenanceof the intracellular pH at the functional neutral region againsta steep pH gradient across the cell membrane.

Measurements of intra- and extracellular pH during the excitationof Nitellopsis obtusa were carried out with antimony microelectrodesat conditions of dark adaptation and of continuous illumination.The pH of the vacuolar sap of both dark-adapted and illuminatedcells increased during cell excitation by 0·1–0·15units. H+ ions which had entered the cytoplasm during excitationin dark-adapted cells were extruded back into the vacuole acrossthe tonoplast. After cell excitation in the light H+ ions wereextruded from the cytoplasm also into the external medium probablyacross the light-stimulated active H+-channels. Protoplasmicstreaming ceased during excitation in the dark for 1–3min, and during excitation in the light—for 5–20s.  相似文献

The correlation between the pump current and the ATP-dependentH+ efflux was examined in internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa.To control the cytoplasmic pH and ATP concentration, the tonoplastwas removed by intracellular perfusion with an EGTA-containingmedium. Two groups of perfused cells were prepared, one with1 mM ATP (+ATP cells) and the other without ATP but with hexokinaseand glucose (–ATP cells). The ATP-dependent H+ effluxwas calculated as the difference in H+ efflux between the +ATPand –ATP cells. Based on an electrically equivalent circuitmodel of the plasma membrane, the pump current was calculatedfrom the membrane potentials and the membrane resistances ofboth +ATP and –ATP cells. When the membrane potentialwas not too high (–220 mV), the ATP-dependent H+ current(19 mA m–2) was almost equal to the pump current (20 mAm–2) calculated from the electrical data. This indicatesthat the electrogenic pump current across the plasma membraneof Nitellopsis obtuse was mostly carried by H+. But when themembrane potential was high (–280 mV), the H+ currentwas lower than the pump current. The possible cause of thisdiscrepancy is discussed.

The net efflux of H+ from lucerne (Medicago saliva L.), redclover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repensL.) growing in flowing solution culture and dependent upon symbioticfixation of atmospheric N, was measured over a 75 d experimentalperiod. Considerable and rapid increases in acidity of the nutrientsolution of up to 1.45 pH units were recorded when the pH wasriot held constant over a 30 h period. There was little differencein H+ efflux when solution pH was held constant at 4.75, 5.75or 6.75, but there was an immediate cessation when it was adjustedto 3.75. Differences in the daily net efflux of H+ closely followedthe pattern of daily differences in incoming radiation, andthere was also evidence of a diurnal pattern of H+ efflux. Althoughthere were initially distinct differences between the speciesin the calculated rate of net H+ efflux (µg H+ g–1dry shoot d), by day 75 these had diminished. In allspecies, however, the maximum rate of efflux per unit of shootsoccurred during the earlier rapid phases of growth. The measuredefflux of H+ was well equated with the plant content of excesscations (as measured by ash alkalinity) and, on average, theratio of acidity produced to N assimilated (expressed as anequivalent) was 0-24.

Effect of Sudden Salt Stress on Ion Fluxes in Intact Wheat Suspension Cells   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Although salinity is one of the major problems limiting agriculturalproduction around the world, the underlying mechanisms of highNaCl perception and tolerance are still poorly understood. Theeffects of different bathing solutions and fusicoccin (FC),a known activator of plasma membrane ATPase, on plasma membranepotential (Em) and net fluxes of Na+, K+and H+were studied inwheat suspension cells (Triticum aestivum) in response to differentNaCl treatments. Emof cells in Murashige and Skoog (MS) mediumwas less negative than in cells exposed to a medium containing10 mM KCl + 0.1 m M CaCl2(KSM) and to a basic salt medium (BSM),containing 1 m M KCl and 0.1 m M CaCl2. Multiphasic Na+accumulationin cells was observed, peaking at 13 min after addition of 120m M NaCl to MS medium. This time scale was in good agreementwith net Na+flux changes measured non-invasively by moving ion-selectivemicroelectrodes (the MIFE system). When 120 m M NaCl was addedto all media studied, a quick rise of Na+influx was reversedwithin the first 20 min. In both 120 and 20 m M NaCl treatmentsin MS medium, net Na+efflux was observed, indicating that activeNa+transporters function in the plant cell response to saltstress. Lower external K+concentrations (KSM and BSM) and FCpre-treatment caused shifts in Na+fluxes towards net influxat 120 m M NaCl stress.

Nicotine was used to induce an intracellular alkalinizationin Elodea densa leaves in order to study the regulation of theplasmalemma H+ pump activity by alkaline intracellular pH values.Nicotine was found to enter the cells rapidly in the unchargedform and to induce a significant intracellular pH increase,measured either directly as cell sap pH or as vacuolar and cytoplasmicpH by calculation from the distribution at equilibrium of labelledpH probes. The nicotine-induced alkalinization was associatedwith a progressive decrease in K+ uptake. A strong inhibitionof net H+ efflux was also evident in the presence of K+ in theexternal medium, whereas no nicotine effect on net H+ effluxwas detected in the absence of K+ (in spite of the larger accumulationof nicotine in the tissue) in agreement with a down-regulationof the activity of the K+-dependent plasmalemma H+-ATPase byalkaline intracellular pH values. The increase in vacuolar pHresulting from nicotine accumulation was small compared to thebase load calculated from the vacuolar buffer capacity and theintracellular dissociation of nicotine. Conversely, the nicotine-inducedincrease in cytoplasmic pH was considerably larger than expectedon the basis of the cytoplasmic buffer capacity and of the theoreticalaccumulation of nicotine in the experimental conditions adopted.A balance sheet between nicotine accumulation, intracellularalkalinization and malate system response was drawn up, andthe seeming discrepancies observed were discussed.

Na+ fluxes in Chara under salt stress   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The influx and efflux of Na+ across the plasma membrane of Characorallina and Chara longifolia were examined under mild saltstress conditions. Na+ influx was found to be rapid in bothspecies with the freely exchangeable cytoplasmic Na+ cominginto isotopic equilibrium with external 22Na+ within 1 h ofexposure to isotope. Cytoplasmlc Na+ concentration and Na+ influxwere greater in C. corallina than in C. longifolla under thesame conditions. Na+ influx across the tonoplast was much lowerthan the flux across the plasma membrane. Na+ efflux was stimulatedat pH 5 relative to pH 7 by 218% in C. coralllna and 320% inC. longifolia. In both species externally applied Li+ inhibitedNa+ efflux at pH 5 but not at pH 7. Na+ etflux was not significantlyinhibited by amiloride.

The mechanism of light-dependent active transport of pyruvatein C4 mesophyll chloroplasts has not been clarified, particularlyin Na+-type C4 species, in which the pyruvate uptake into mesophyllchloroplasts is enhanced by illumination or by making a Na+gradient (Na+-jump) across the envelope in the dark. We re-investigatedhere the effect of Na+ on the active transport of pyruvate inmesophyll chloroplasts of Panicum miliaceum, a Na+-type C4 species,by comparing the rate of pyruvate uptake at various externalpHs under four conditions; in the light and dark together with/withoutNa+-jump: (1) At neutral pH, the rate of pyruvate uptake inthe dark was enhanced by Na+-jump but scarcely by illumination.(2) While the enhancement effect by Na+-jump was independentof external pH, that by illumination increased greatly at pHover 7.4, and the effects of light and Na+ at the alkaline pHwere synergistic. (3) The light-enhanced pyruvate uptake wasrelated to stromal alkalization induced by illumination. Infact, pyruvate uptake was induced by H+-jump in the medium frompH 8.0 to 6.7. (4) Stromal pH was lowered by the addition ofK+-pyruvate and more by Na+-pyruvate into the medium at pH 7.8in the light. (5) However, the pH and ATP levels in the stromawere not affected by Na+-jump. Thus, we discussed possibility that besides pyruvate/Na+ cotransportat neutral pH in the medium, pyruvate/H+ cotransport enhancedby the presence of Na+ operates in mesophyll chloroplasts ofNa+-type C4 species at alkaline medium. 1Present address: Biological Resources Division, Japan InternationalResearch Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), Ministryof Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, 2-1 Ohwashi, Tsukuba,305 Japan  相似文献

Movement of Ions and Electrogenesis in Microorganisms   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
The relationship between movement of ions and the electricalproperties of microorganisms (algae, fungi, and bacteria) arereviewed, with particular emphasis on the giant alga, Nitella,and the fungus, Neurospora. The hypothesis is presented thatthere are two basically different components to the membranepotential of both organisms: (1) one arising from the diffusionof sodium, potassium, and hydrogen ions down their chemicalgradients, and (2) one associated with the utilization of energyand the active efflux of hydrogen ions, and attributed to an"electrogenic H+ pump." Numerous discrepancies between the measuredelectrical properties of the algae or fungi and the predictionsof ordinary ion-diffusion theory can be accounted for by suchan H+ pump, and its existence is further supported by a fewindirect experiments on the bacteria.  相似文献

In the aquatic liverwort Riccia fluitans the regulation of theplasma membrane H+/amino acid symport has been investigated.Cytosolic pH (pHc), membrane potential (Em) and membrane conductancehave been measured and related to transport data, (i) The releaseof [14C]amino acids is strongly stimulated by cytosolic acidification,induced by the external addition of acetic acid, a decreasein external K+, and in the change from light to dark. On average,a decrease in pHc of 0.5 to 0.6 units corresponded with a 4-foldstimulation in amino acid efflux. (ii) External pH changes havefar less effect on substrate transport than the cytosolic pHshifts of the same order. (iii) The inwardly directed positivecurrent, induced by amino acids, is severely inhibited by cytosolicacidification. (iv) Fusicoccin (FC) stimulates amino acid uptakewithout considerable change in proton motive force. (v) Whenthe proton motive force is kept constant, the uptake of aminoacids into Riccia thalli is much lower than when the pump isdeactivated. It is suggested that both the proton pump activityand cytosolic pH are the dominant factors in the regulationof the H+/amino acid symport across the plasma membrane of Ricciafluitans, and it is concluded that the proton motive force isnot a reliable quantity to predict and interpret transport kinetics.

The effects of the growth in a medium containing NH4NO3 as nitrogensource were studied on cell sap pH, cytoplasmic pH and malatecontent in chl1, an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant impaired inchlorate and nitrate transport. In all the conditions testedthe pH of the cytoplasm in chl1 was more alkaline, and thatof the vacuole was more acidic as compared with those measuredin wt. Treatment with bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor ofthe vacuolar H+-ATPase, induced a small alkalinization of thevacuole, and a significant acidification of the cytoplasm, theseeffects being greater in chl1 than in wt. The greater responseof the mutant to bafilomycin Al suggests that, in the absenceof the inhibitor, the activity of the tonoplast H+-ATPase inchl1 is higher than in wt, this diversity being a possible reasonfor the differences in intracellular pH detected between thetwo strains. A possible role for the vacuolar H+-ATPase in regulatingthe cytoplasmic pH is discussed. (Received August 2, 1995; Accepted February 1, 1996)  相似文献

The functional properties of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae bicarbonate transporter homolog Bor1p (YNL275wp) were characterized by measuring boron (H3BO3), Na+, and Cl fluxes. Neither Na+ nor Cl appears to be a transported substrate for Bor1p. Uphill efflux of boron mediated by Bor1p was demonstrated directly by loading cells with boron and resuspending in a low-boron medium. Cells with intact BOR1, but not the deletant strain, transport boron outward until the intracellular concentration is sevenfold lower than that in the medium. Boron efflux through Bor1p is a saturable function of intracellular boron (apparent Km 1–2 mM). The extracellular pH dependences of boron distribution and efflux indicate that uphill efflux is driven by the inward H+ gradient. Addition of 30 mM HCO3 does not affect boron extrusion by Bor1p, indicating that HCO3 does not participate in Bor1p function. Functional Bor1p is present in cells grown in medium with no added boron, and overnight growth in 10 mM H3BO3 causes only a small increase in the levels of functional Bor1p and in BOR1 mRNA. The fact that Bor1p is expressed when there is no need for boron extrusion and is not strongly induced in the presence of growth-inhibitory boron concentrations is surprising if the main physiological function of yeast Bor1p is boron efflux. A possible role in vacuolar dynamics for Bor1p was recently reported by Decker and Wickner (10). Under the conditions used presently, there appears to be mildly abnormal vacuolar morphology in the deletant strain. boron; SLC4; YNL275w  相似文献

The effects of light on the pH in the vacuole and the electricpotential difference across the plasmalemma and the tonoplastof Nitellopsis obtusa were investigated by means of conventionaland H+-specific glass or antimony microelectrodes. Illuminationis found to bring about a decrease in the pH of the vacuolarsap by 0.1–0.5 units concomitant with a depolarizationof the cell. The light-induced changes of the potential differenceand the vacuolar pH depend in different ways on the pH of theexternal medium (pHo). At pHo 9.0 cells exhibit great light-inducedpotential changes (up to 100 mV), but only small pH changesof the vacuolar sap. At neutral or slightly acidic pHo valuesthe amplitude of the light-induced pH changes in the vacuoleincreases up to 0.3–0.5 pH units, but the amplitudes ofthe potential changes at the plasmalemma are relatively small.At pHo 9.0 a transient acidification of the medium is observedupon illumination whereas at lower pH values light-induced alkalinizationwas only seen. Transfer of the cells from pHo 9.0 to pHo 7.5results in a cell hyperpolarization by 60–80 mV and adecrease of the vacuolar pH by 0.4–0.5 units under lightconditions but has no significant effect on the potential andthe vacuolar pH in the darkness. It is proposed that mechanismsof active H+ extrusion from the cytoplasm are located both inthe plasmalemma and the tonoplast. The observed acidificationin the vacuole appears to be determined by a light-induced increaseof the concentration of H+ in the cytoplasm. The H+ conductionof the plasmalemma seems to increase on illumination. The patternof the light-induced H+ fluxes across the tonoplast and theplasmalemma depends crucially on the extent of the light-inducedchanges in the H+ conductance and on the electrochemical gradientfor H+ at the plasmalemma.  相似文献

Continuous measurements of cytoplasmic pH (pHc) in Sinapis roothairs have been carried out with double-barrelled pH-micro-electrodesin order to gain information on translocation of protons acrossthe plasmalemma and cytoplasmic pH control. (i) The cytoplasmicpH of Sinapis (7–33 ? 0–12, standard conditions)changes no more than 0.1 pHc, per pHo-unit, regardless of whethercyanide is present or not. (ii) Weak acids rapidly acidify pHcand hyperpolarize, while weak bases alkalize pHc and depolarizethe cells, (iii) 1.0 mol M,3 NaCN acidifies the cytoplasm by0.4 to 0.7 pH-units, but alkalizes the vacuole. (iv) 20 mmolm–3 CCCP has no significant effect on pHc, if added atpH 9.6 or 7.2, but acidifies pHc by 1.3 units at pH 4.3. Inthe presence of CCCP, cyanide acidifies the cytoplasm, (v) Chloridetransiently acidifies pHc, while K+, Na+, and have no significant effects, (vi) Cytoplasmic buffer capacityforms a bell-shaped curve versus pHc with an optimum of about50 mol m–3 H+pHc-unit. The modes of proton re-entry and the effects of active and passiveproton transport on cellular pH control are critically discussed.It is suggested that the proton leak, consisting of H+-cotransport(e.g. H+/Cl) rather than H+-uniport, is no threat topHc. The proton export pump, although itself reacting to changesin pHc, influences pHc only to a minor extent. It is concludedthat buffer capacity and membrane transport play moderate rolesin pHc control in Sinapis, while the interlocked H+-producingand -consuming reactions of cellular metabolism are the mainregulating factors. This makes pH control in Sinapis quite differentfrom bacterial and animal cells. Key words: Cytoplasmic pH, double-barrelled pH micro-electrode, pH control, proton transport, Sinapis  相似文献

Beffagna, N. and Romani, G. 1988. Effects of two plasmalemmaATPase inhibitors on H+ extrusion and intracellular pH in Elodeadensa leaves.—J. exp. Bot. 39: 1033–1043. Elodea leaves in the dark show very little exchange of H+ withthe medium in the external pH range between 5.0 and 6.0. Thepresence of fusicoccin and potassium in the medium markedlystimulates H+ extrusion. Fusicoccin- and K+ -induced H+ extrusionis inhibited by either erythrosin B (EB) or Na-orthovanadate,two inhibitors of H+ transporting plasma membrane ATPase. EBcompletely inhibits it from the first 30 min of treatment, whensupplied at pH 5.5 at a concentration of 30 mmol m–3.Vanadate also inhibits H+ extrusion, this effect becoming evidentonly after 45 min of treatment. After this time inhibition iscomplete with 250 mmol m–3 vanadate but only partial forlower concentrations. In the presence of either inhibitor the intracellular pH, measuredas cell sap pH, is significantly lowered. When the intracellularpH changes are determined on vacuole and, separately, on cytoplasmby the weak acid and base distribution method, acidificationof both compartments is found to accompany the blocking of H+extrusion by either of the inhibitors.
