Nafenopin (2-methyl-2[p-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)phenoxy]-propionic acid; Su-13437), a potent hypolipidemic compound, was administered in varying concentrations in ground Purina Chow to male and female rats, wild type (Csa strain) mice and acatalasemic (Csb strain) mice to determine the hepatic microbody proliferative and catalase-inducing effects. In all groups of animals, administration of nafenopin at dietary levels of 0.125% and 0.25% produced a significant and sustained increase in the number of peroxisomes. The hepatic microbody proliferation in both male and female rats and wild type Csa strain mice treated with nafenopin was of the same magnitude and was associated with a two-fold increase in catalase activity and in the concentration of catalase protein. The increase in microbody population in acatalasemic mice, although not accompanied by increase in catalase activity, was associated with a twofold increase in the amount of catalase protein. The absence of sex difference in microbody proliferative response in nafenopin-treated rats and wild type mice is of particular significance, since ethyl-α-p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB)-induced microbody proliferation and increase in catalase activity occurred only in males. Nafenopin can, therefore, be used as an inducer of microbody proliferation and of catalase synthesis in both sexes of rats and mice. The serum glycerol-glycerides were markedly lowered in all the animals given nafenopin, which paralleled the increase in liver catalase. All the above effects of nafenopin were fully reversed when the drug was withdrawn from the diet of male rats. During reversal, several microbody nucleoids were seen free in the hyaloplasm or in the dilated endoplasmic reticulum channels resulting from a rapid reduction in microbody matrix proteins after the withdrawal of nafenopin from the diet. Because of microbody proliferation and catalase induction with increasing number of hypolipidemic compounds, additional studies are necessary to determine the interrelationships of microbody proliferation, catalase induction, and hypolipidemia. 相似文献

The liver cells of intact male rats given ethyl-α-p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) characteristically show a marked increase in microbodies and in catalase activity, while those of intact female rats do not. In castrated males given estradiol benzoate and CPIB the increase in catalase activity and microbody proliferation is abolished, while in castrated females given testosterone propionate and CPIB the livers show a marked increase in microbodies and in catalase activity. No sex difference in microbody and catalase response is apparent in fetal and neonatal rats. Both sexes show a sharp rise in catalase activity on the day of birth, with a rapid decline at 5 days after birth. Thyroidectomy abolishes the hypolipidemic effect of CPIB in rats, but microbody proliferation and increase in catalase activity persists in thyroidectomized male rats, indicating that microbody proliferation can be independent of hypolipidemia. Adrenalectomy does not alter appreciably the microbody-catalase response to CPIB. These experiments demonstrate that (1) in adult rats, hepatic microbody proliferation is dependent to a significant degree upon male sex hormone but is largely independent of thyroid or adrenal gland hormones; (2) hepatic microbody proliferation is independent of the hypolipidemic effect of CPIB; (3) displacement of thyroxine from serum protein may not be sufficient cause for stimulation of microbody formation. 相似文献

Crude particulate fractions from wheat leaves (Triticum vulgare L.) were separated on continuous sucrose density gradients, resulting in: broken chloroplasts, a mitochondrial fraction (indicated by cytochrome c oxidase), and microbodies. The visible band of the microbody fraction from adult leaves appears at a buoyant density of 1.25 grams per cm3 and contains most of the activities of catalase, glycolate oxidase, and hydroxypyruvate reductase on the gradient. In the shoots of freshly soaked seeds, catalase is already highly particulate. During further development in light or in darkness, 40 to 60% of the total activities of catalase and glycolate oxidase and 25 to 40% of the total activity of hydroxypyruvate reductase are always found in the particulate fractions of the leaves. In young developmental stages, the peaks of the activity profiles of the microbody enzymes appear on sucrose gradients at relatively low densities, first between 1.17 to 1.20 grams per cm3. During development in light, the buoyant density of the microbody fraction shifts to the final value of 1.25 grams per cm3. However, even after 1 week of growth in the dark, the microbody fraction from etiolated leaves was observed at buoyant densitites 1.17 to 1.24 grams per cm3 and did not appear as a defined visible band. A characteristic visible microbody band at a buoyant density 1.24 grams per cm3 was found when the dark-grown seedlings received only three separate 5-minute exposures to white light. A similar peak was also obtained from light-grown leaves in which chloroplast development had been blocked by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. 相似文献

Catalase, glycolate oxidase, and hydroxypyruvate reductase, enzymes which are located in the microbodies of leaves, show different developmental patterns in the shoots of wheat seedlings. Catalase and hydroxypyruvate reductase are already present in the shoots of ungerminated seeds. Glycolate oxidase appears later. All three enzymes develop in the dark, but glycolate oxidase and hydroxypyruvate reductase have only low activities. On exposure of the seedlings to continuous white light (14.8 × 103 ergs cm−2 sec−1), the activity of catalase is doubled, and glycolate oxidase and hydroxypyruvate reductase activities increase by 4- to 7-fold. Under a higher light intensity, the activities of all three enzymes are considerably further increased. The activities of other enzymes (cytochrome oxidase, fumarase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) are unchanged or only slightly influenced by light. After transfer of etiolated seedlings to white light, the induced increase of total catalase activity shows a much longer lag-phase than that of glycolate oxidase and hydroxypyruvate reductase. It is concluded that the light-induced increases of the microbody enzymes are due to enzyme synthesis. The light effect on the microbody enzymes is independent of chlorophyll formation or the concomitant development of functional chloroplasts. Short repeated light exposures which do not lead to greening are very effective. High activities of glycolate oxidase and hydroxypyruvate reductase develop in the presence of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole which blocks chloroplast development. The effect of light is not exerted through induced glycolate formation and appears instead to be photomorphogenetic in character. 相似文献

It was to be shown whether during the biogenesis of microbodies some of their components were already present in the cell prior to the organelle's assembly. To this end, the occurrence and properties of catalase in soluble and particular fractions of ripening cucumber seeds were examined. Homogenates of seeds from ripening fruits were fractionated by isopycnic density gradient centrifugation, and thus catalase was found in three different fractions: as a soluble enzyme in the gradient supernatant, as a membrane fraction at density d=1.18 kg l-1, and in association with microbodies. In the early steps of seed formation, catalase was detected at density d=1.18 kg l-1 and in the gradient supernatant. At a later stage of seed maturation, however, catalase was primarily associated with microbodies which exhibited an equilibrium density of d=1.23 kg l-1. M
r as well as subunit M
r of catalase were determined, and their close immunological relationship to leaf peroxisomal catalase and glyoxysomal catalase was demonstrated. Biosynthesis of catalase at different stages of seed maturation was investigated by in vivo labeling with l-[35S]methionine, l-[14C]leucine and -[3H]aminolaevulinic acid. Electrophoretic analysis of de novo synthesized catalase subunits revealed the occurrence of a heavy form (M
r 57,500) in the soluble fraction; this form was preferentially labeled. A light form, M
r 53,500, was detected in microbodies and also in the soluble fraction. The findings lend support to the hypothesis that the rate of catalase synthesis is highest in an early stage of seed formation, when globulins have already been formed, but before de novo synthesis of malate synthase has commenced. Prior to microbody assembling, a cytoplasmic pool of catalase was labeled.Abbreviations EDTA

The proliferation cycle of the microbody was studied in the primitive red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, which contains one microbody per cell. Cells were synchronized with a dark/light cycle, and the morphology of the microbody
and its interaction with other organelles were observed three-dimensionally by fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron
microscopy, and computer-assisted three-dimensional reconstruction of serial thin sections. The microbody in interphase cells
is a sphere of 0.3 μm in diameter without a core. In M-phase, the microbody passes through a series of irregular shapes, in
the order rod, worm, branched, H-shaped and dumbbell, and symmetric fission occurs just before cytokinesis. The microbody
duplicates its volume in M-phase and three-dimensional quantitative analysis revealed that its surface area increases before
its volume does. The microbody touches the mitochondrion and the chloroplast throughout its proliferation cycle, except briefly
in interphase cells, winding around the divisional plane of the mitochondrion at one phase. Immunocytochemical labeling of
catalase as a marker of matrix proteins of the microbody revealed that the duplication of catalase occurs in tandem with the
volume increase. While no specific apparatus was identified in the microbody divisional areas, we identified an electron-dense
apparatus about 30–50 nm in diameter between the microbody and the mitochondrion that may play a role in segregating the daughter
microbodies. These results are the first characterization to show the morphological changes of one microbody in a one-microbody
alga without proliferation-inducing substrates, which have been used in many studies, and clearly show that two daughter microbodies
arise by binary fission of the pre-existing microbody.

Profuse appearance of microbodies was observed in the cells of methanol-utilizing yeasts in connection with the enhanced catalase activity. These microbodies were isolated successfully by means of sucrose gradient centrifugation from the methanol-grown cells of Kloeckera sp. no. 2201. Localization of a flavin-dependent alcohol oxidase as well as characteristic microbody enzymes (catalase and D-amino acid oxidase) were ascertained in the isolated microbodies, whereas formaldehyde and formate dehydrogenases were detected in the cytoplasmic region. Localization of catalase in the isolated microbody was also demonstrated by the cytochemical technique with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine. 相似文献

The liver of male rats has been studied after CPIB stimulation by using the peroxidase reaction for localizing catalase in hepatic cells. CPIB administration leads to an increase in the number of microbodies, and it is suggested that one mechanism by which microbody proliferation occurs is a process of fragmentation or budding from preexisting microbodies. Reaction product was observed not only within the microbody matrix, but outside the limiting membrane of the microbody and in association with ribosomes of adjacent rough endoplasmic reticulum. This localization of reaction product is interpreted as evidence that catalase after synthesis on rough endoplasmic reticulum may accumulate near microbodies and may be transferred directly into these organelles without traversing the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

Summary The enzyme patterns in sunflower cotyledons indicate that the glyoxysomal function of microbodies is replaced by the peroxisomal function of these organelles during the transition from fat degradation to photosynthesis. The separation of the microbody population into glyoxysomes and peroxisomes during this transition period is reported. The mean difference in density between the activity peaks of glyoxysomal and peroxisomal marker enzymes on a sucrose gradient was calculated to be 0.007±0.004 g/cm3 and turned out to be significant (t=7.8>4.04=t
5;0.01). The activity peak of catalase coincides with that of isocitrate lyase in early stages of development, but shifts to the activity peak of peroxisomal marker enzymes during the transition period. No isozymes of the catalase could be detected by gel electrophoresis in the microbodies with the two different functions.During the rise of the peroxisomal marker enzymes no synthesis of the common microbody marker, catalase, could be demonstrated using the inhibitor allylisopropylacetamide. Using D2) for density labeling of newly-formed catalase, no difference is observed between the density of catalase from cotyledons grown on 99.8% D2O during the transition period and the density of enzyme from cotyledons grown on H2O. The activity of particulate glycolate oxidase is reduced 30–50% by allylisopropylacetamide, but is not affected by D2O. The chlorophyll formation in the cotyledons is strongly inhibited by both substances. 相似文献

Synopsis The effects of detergents, organic lipid solvents, and several adjuvants used in cell fractionation on the ultrastructure of the peroxisomal (microbody) membrane and its permeability to catalase have been investigated. Chopper sections of glutaraldehyde-fixed liver were incubated in the presence of various agents, followed by cytochemical staining for catalase and processed for electron microscopy. Catalase activity was also determined biochemically in the incubation medium. Marked catalase diffusion was found after treatment with 1% or 0.5% Triton X-100 or deoxycholate, as well as with 50% ethanol or acetone or 20% propanol ort-butanol. In contrast, 1% digitonin and lower concentrations of the above agents, as well as sucrose or glycerine caused selective diffusion of catalase from a limited population of peroxisomes. Tieatment with 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which has been used as a protective agent in the isolation of microbodies, did not produce any alteration in the fine structure and cytochemical appearance of peroxisomes. These findings concur with earlier biochemical studies on freshly isolated peroxisomes and demonstrate the susceptibility of microbodies, even in glutaraldehyde-fixed rat liver to the effects of various agents which affect the microbody membrane. A close correlation between the ultrastructural integrity of the microbody membrane and its permeability to catalase has been found. The significance of these observations for the assessment of the permeability characteristics of the microbody membrane is discussed. 相似文献

Effects of catalase inhibitors on the ultrastructure and peroxidase activity of proliferating microbodies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The relationship between the formation of microbodies and catalase synthesis in the hepatic cells of male rats was examined with conventional electron microscopy and with the peroxidase staining technic for demonstrating catalase. Daily intraperitoneal injections of ethyl--p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) for 5 days caused a profound increase in microbody numbers without markedly affecting the appearance of the matrix material and all microbodies retained peroxidase activity. A single injection 5 days before sacrifice of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AT), an inhibitor of catalase activity but not catalase synthesis, did not affect their numbers, appearance of matrix material or peroxidase staining. Twice daily injection for 5 days of allylisopropylacetamide (AIA), an inhibitor of catalase synthesis, also did not affect microbody numbers but lowered the electron-density of the microbody matrix and abolished peroxidase staining. After combined administration of these drugs, the number of hepatic microbodies increased but they did not contain peroxidase activity. The results suggest strongly that microbody proliferation is dependent not on catalase synthesis but on synthesis of non-enzymatic protein.This study was supported by research grant HD-01337 from the Institute of Child Health and Human Development, United States Public Health Service.

Glyoxysomes, a form of microbody, are present in castor bean endosperm during the first 8 days of seed germination. They have a “typical” microbody form and are shown histochemically to contain catalase. The catalase label is distributed throughout the microbody and is not an exclusive feature of the crystalline or amorphous core. 相似文献

Prominent staining of rat hepatic microbodies was obtained by incubating sections of aldehyde-fixed rat liver in a modified Graham and Karnovsky's medium for ultrastructural demonstration of peroxidase activity. The electron-opaque reaction product was deposited uniformly over the matrix of the microbodies. The microbodies were identified by their size, shape, presence of tubular nucleoids, and other morphologic characteristics, and by their relative numerical counts. The staining reaction was inhibited by the catalase inhibitor, aminotriazole, and by KCN, azide, high concentrations of H2O2, and by boiling of sections. These inhibition studies suggest that the peroxidatic activity of microbody catalase is responsible for the staining reaction. In the absence of exogenous H2O2 appreciable staining of microbodies was noted only after prolonged incubation. Addition of sodium pyruvate, which inhibits endogenous generation of H2O2 by tissue oxidases, or of crystalline catalase, which decomposes such tissue-generated H2O2, completely abolished microbody staining in the absence of H2O2. Neither diaminobenzidine nor the product of its oxidation had any affinity to bind nonenzymatically to microbody catalase and thus stain these organelles. The staining of microbodies was optimal at alkaline pH of 8.5. The biological significance of this alkaline pH in relation to the similar pH optima of several microbody oxidases is discussed. In addition to staining of microbodies, a heat-resistant peroxidase activity is seen in some of the peribiliary dense bodies. The relation of this reaction to the peroxidase activity of lipofuscin pigment granules is discussed. 相似文献

The in vivo effects of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AT) on the fine structure of microbodies in hepatic cells of male rats has been studied by the peroxidase-staining technique. Within 1 hr of intraperitoneal injection AT abolishes microbody peroxidase-staining, and the return of staining coincides temporally with the known pattern of return of catalase activity following AT inhibition; this is further evidence that the peroxidase staining of microbodies is due to catalase activity. Peroxidase staining reappears in the microbody matrix without evidence of either massive degradation or rapid proliferation of the organelles. Furthermore, during the period of return of activity, ribosomal staining occurs adjacent to microbodies whose matrix shows little or no peroxidase staining. These observations are interpreted as evidence that (a) catalase is capable of entering preexisting microbodies without traversing the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi apparatus, and that (b) the ribosomal staining is probably not cytochemical diffusion artifact and may represent a localized site of synthesis or activation of catalase. 相似文献

Summary A novel procedure is described for fluorescence staining of microbodies, which can be applied quickly and easily. We developed this technique of microbody staining with the unicellular red algaCyanidioschyzon merolae. Cyanidioschyzon merolae only contains a single chloroplast, mitochondrion, and microbody per cell, and the mitotic cycle and the organelle division cycle are easily synchronized. Knowing that the concentration of H2O2 in the microbody is higher than it is in the cytosol and other cell components, we attempted to visualize the microbody by using fluorescence microscopy to detect H2O2. Brilliant sulfoflavin (BSF), used for detecting Fe2+ in analytical chemistry, fluoresces when it reacts with Fe2+ and H2C2. We were able to specifically stain microbodies with BSF, under acidic conditions (pH 3.0 or pH 2.5) with blue-light excitation. Using this procedure, we observed division of the microbody and the effect of aphidicolin on the microbody. We also discovered that microbody division is regulated by the cell nucleus and follows division of the cell nucleus. 相似文献

How proteins get into microbodies (peroxisomes, glyoxysomes, glycosomes) 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
P Borst 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1986,866(4):179-203
All microbody proteins studies, including one microbody membrane protein, are made on free polysomes and imported post-translationally. This holds for animal tissues, plants, and fungi. The majority of microbody protein sub-units are synthesized in a form not detectably different from mature sub-units. In five cases a larger precursor protein has been found. The position of the extra piece in this precursor is not known. In two of the five cases, processing of the precursor is not coupled to import; in the other three this remains to be determined. It is not even known whether information in the prepiece contributes to topogenesis, or serves other purposes. Microbody preparations from Neurospora, plant tissue and rat liver can take up some newly synthesized microbody proteins in vitro. In most cases uptake is inefficient. No special requirements for uptake have been established and whether a receptor is involved is not yet known. Several examples have been reported of peroxisomal enzymes with a counterpart in another cell compartment. With the exception of catalase, no direct evidence is available in any of these cases for two isoenzymes specified by the same gene. In the Zellweger syndrome, a lethal hereditary disease of man, characterized by a lack of peroxisomes, the levels of several enzymes of lipid metabolism are strongly decreased. In contrast, D-amino-acid oxidase, L-alpha-hydroxyacid oxidase and catalase levels are normal. The catalase resides in the cytosol. Since there is no separate gene for cytosolic catalase, the normal catalase levels in Zellweger cells show that some peroxisomal enzymes can mature and survive stably in the cytosol. It is possible that maturation of the peroxisomal enzyme in the cytoplasm can account for the finding of cytosolic catalase in some normal mammalian cells. The glycosomes of trypanosomes are microbodies that contain a glycolytic system. Comparison of the glycosomal phosphoglycerate kinase with its cytosolic counterpart has shown that these isoenzymes are 93% homologous in amino-acid sequence, but less than 50% homologous to the corresponding enzymes of yeast and mammals. This implies that few alterations are required to direct a protein into microbodies. This interpretation is supported by the evidence for homology between some microbody and mitochondrial isoenzymes in other organisms mentioned under point 4. The major changes of the glycosomal phosphoglycerate kinase relative to the cytosolic enzyme are a large increase in positive charge and a C-terminal extension of 20 amino acids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Summary The distribution of glyoxylate-cycle enzymes between microbodies and mitochondria was examined in ethanol-grown Aspergillus tamarii Kita. Particulate activities of catalase and the two glyoxylate by-pass enzymes, malate synthase and isocitrate lyase, were localized in the microbodies. The microbodies had a buoyant density of about 1.23 g cm-3 after isopycnic centrifugation in linear sucrose gradients. Particulate activities of the other two glyoxycitrate synthase, together with that of succinate dehydrogenase were restricted to the mitochondria, which had a buoyant density of about 1.20 g cm-3. Catalase also appeared to be localized in a second particle, perhaps the microbody inclusions or the Woronin bodies, having a buoyant density of about 1.26 g cm-3. 相似文献

Mechanism of the Increase in Catalase Activity through Microbody Development in Wounded Sweet Potato Root Tissue 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An increase in catalase activity accompanied by microbody developmentin wounded sweet potato root tissue was investigated with aspecific antibody against sweet potato catalase. The increasewas completely inhibited by cycloheximide. Analysis with singleradial immunodiffusion method showed that protein immunoprecipitatedby the antibody increased in wounded tissue, indicating theinvolvement of de novo synthesis of catalase protein in theactivity-increase. The activity-increase was, however, moreremarkable than the increase in immunoreactive protein and thisresults in an increase in specific catalase activity in woundedtissue, indicating the presence in intact tissue of an inertor less active protein, immunologically analogous to catalase.Actually, immunological analysis showed the presence in intacttissue of an immunoreactive protein which differed from activecatalase protein in the mobility on a polyacrylamide gel andprobably also in the molecular weight of subunit. The immunoreactiveprotein seemed to exist in a significant amount outside themicrobodies in intact tissue cells. Thus, there is a possibilitythat the increase in catalase activity in wounded tissue ispartly due to activation of the immunoreactive protein.

Cell structure modifications and beta-oxidation induction were monitored in two strains of Sporidiobolus, Sp. Ruinenii and Sp. pararoseus after cultivation on ricinoleic acid methyl ester. Ultrastructural observations of the yeast before and after cultivation on fatty acid esters did not reveal major modifications in Sp. ruinenii. Unexpectedly, in Sp. pararoseus a proliferation of the mitochondrion was observed. After induction, Sp. ruinenii principally exhibited an increase in the activities of acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO), hydroxyacyl-CoA deshydrogenase (HAD), thiolase and catalase. In contrast, Sp. pararoseus lacked ACO and catalase activities, but an increase in acyl-CoA deshydrogenase (ACDH) and enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECH) activity was observed. These data suggest that in Sp. ruinenii, beta-oxidation is preferentially localized in the microbody, whereas in Sp. pararoseus it might be localized in the mitochondria. 相似文献

A method for the isolation in high yield of intact chloroplasts from the unicellular green alga Dunaliella marina (Volvocales) is described. This procedure uses chemically induced lysis of cells with the polycationic macromolecules, DEAE-dextran (M=500,000) or poly-D,l-lysine (M=30,000-70,000). Reaction conditions were optimized with respect to obtaining a high yield of intact chloroplasts, after isopycnic centrifugation in a linear sucrose density gradient, by varying the concentration of polycation and the temperature and pH of incubation. Broken chloroplasts devoid of the stromal marker enzymes fructosebisphosphate phosphatase and ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase, but containing mitochondrial (fumarase) and microbody (catalase) contamination, were banded at a bouyant density of 1.18 g cm-3. Intact chloroplasts, as indicated by their retention of alkaline fructosebisphosphate phosphatase and ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase, were found in 30% yield (chlorophyll in intact cells, 100%) at an equilibrium density of 1.24 g cm-3. Contamination by cytoplasmic material (pyruvate kinase), mitochondria, and microbodies was less than 8% each.Abbreviations Chl
