H2O2和水杨酸对陈化马铃薯切片交替呼吸途径影响的比较

外源5.0 mmol/L H2O2和0.1 mmol/L 水杨酸(salicylic acid, SA)处理均可明显提高陈化24 h的马铃薯切片的交替呼吸途径容量(Valt)及其与总呼吸的比值(Valt/Vt).应用交替氧化酶的单克隆抗体进行Western杂交的结果表明,H2O2和SA处理均可明显提高陈化马铃薯切片中交替氧化酶的表达水平.用氧同位素分辨法研究,结果表明:H2O2处理对陈化马铃薯切片中交替呼吸途径的实际运行没有影响,而SA处理对交替呼吸途径的实际运行具有明显的促进作用.上述结果表明,H2O2和SA对植物组织交替呼吸途径的影响存在差异,二者均可促进交替氧化酶的表达从而诱导交替呼吸途径容量的发生,但H2O2不影响其实际运行,而SA还可同时诱导其实际运行.     

内源乙烯对陈化马铃薯切片交替氧化酶表达的诱导作用

抗氰呼吸是植物线粒体区别于动物线粒体的主要功能特征之一,其本质是一条以交替氧化酶（ａｌｔｅｒｎａｔｉｖｅｏｘｉｄａｓｅ,ＡＯＸ）为末端氧化酶,被称为“交替途径”的呼吸电子传递链（ＭｃＩｎｔｏｓｈ１９９４）。该呼吸途径经常发生于产热植物开花、果实成熟、切片陈化、低温胁迫、机械损伤以及病原体侵染等一些较特殊的环境条件或生理过程中,并受乙烯等一些效应剂的诱导（Ｓｏｌｏｍｏｓ和Ｌａｔｉｅｓ１９７６,Ｄａｙ等１９７８,Ｇｕｄｅ和ｖａｎｄｅｒＰｌａｓ１９８５,Ｍａｒｉｓｓｅｎ等１９８６,Ｙｉｐ和Ｈｅｗ１９８…     

水杨酸对低温胁迫香蕉幼苗呼吸作用的影响

探讨了水杨酸 (salicylicacid ,SA)对低温胁迫香蕉幼苗叶片呼吸作用的影响。在常温下用 0 .5mmol/LSA水溶液处理香蕉幼苗 ,能明显提高香蕉幼苗的抗氰呼吸和细胞色素呼吸 ,增加总呼吸量 ,提高产热量 ;在随后 7℃低温胁迫与常温恢复期间SA预处理 ,能抑制总呼吸速率的下降 ,这种对总呼吸下降的抑制与此时细胞色素途径维持在较高的水平有关 ,而与抗氰呼吸无关。此时也未检测到SA预处理植株叶片产热量增加的现象     

小麦幼苗叶片抗氰呼吸对轻度水分胁迫的响应

小麦幼苗经－０．５ＭＰa聚乙二醇（ＰＥＧ－６０００）溶液暗中渗透迫０、６、１２、１８、２４、３０、３６、４２、４８h,叶片的总呼吸速率（Ｖt)呈现先上升后降低的趋势,交替途径呼吸也表现出相同的变化模式。水分胁迫初期（０－１２h),交替途径容量（Ｖalt)、实际运行活性（ρValt)及运行系数（ρ值）均上升,此后（１８－４８h）逐渐下降,水分胁迫也影响了呼吸电子流在２条呼吸途径中的分配比例,胁迫初期的０－１２h内,流经交替途径的电子流增多,而流向细胞色素主路的电子流减少,但随着胁迫时间的延长,交替途径的贡献降低,而细胞色素主路的贡献增加,说明小麦叶片的抗氰呼吸在水分胁迫初期被诱导增加,而随着胁迫进行的延长又表现为下降。     

用于测定抗氰呼吸途径活性的氧同位素分馏法和氧肟酸抑制法的比较

氧同位素分馏法和氧肟酸抑制法的测定结果都表明,马铃薯切片在１２ ～２４ ｈ 陈化期间抗氰呼吸途径的实际活性基本保持恒定,尽管前者的测定结果是后者的２ 倍。此外,用上述２ 种不同方法进行研究的结果都表明,内源乙烯在诱导陈化切片抗氰呼吸途径容量产生的同时并不调控其实际运行。上述结果表明尽管氧肟酸抑制法不能准确测定抗氰呼吸途径的实际活性,但用于一些比较研究仍是可行的     

不同低温胁迫对烟草愈伤组织抗氰交替途径诱导和交替氧化酶表达影响的比较

比较了不同低温(14℃和4℃)胁迫对烟草(Nicotiana rusticaL．)愈伤组织抗氰交替途径诱导和交替氧化酶表达的影响。结果显示,不同低温胁迫处理能显著诱导烟草愈伤组织交替途径容量和实际运行的增加,且都呈现出基本相同的变化模式：在胁迫的初期(1—3d)持续增加,在3d时达到最高,而后下降到一个相对恒定的水平。但交替途径容量增加的幅度与温度下降的程度密切相关,而交替途径实际运行量的诱导程度在不同低温胁迫下的差异却很小。表明交替途径容量和实际运行对低温胁迫的响应是不同的。免疫印迹分析结果表明：低温胁迫明显诱导了交替氧化酶总蛋白的增加,且其随低温胁迫进程的变化与交替途径容量的变化基本一致;而对交替氧化酶单体与二聚体在低温胁迫下的含量变化检测结果则显示,烟草愈伤组织中交替氧化酶主要以二聚体形式存在,且这一存在形式并不随低温胁迫程度的加深而发生改变。两种形式的交替氧化酶蛋白含量都能被低温胁迫诱导增加,但其单体水平在两种不同的低温胁迫下并无明显差别,而4℃低温胁迫诱导的二聚体交替氧化酶蛋白含量明显高于14℃。表明不同程度低温对抗氰交替途径发生的不同影响主要是由于对交替氧化酶蛋白二聚体形式的不同诱导程度所致;而高活性的交替氧化酶单体形式则不因低温胁迫程度的加重而被明显诱导升高,使得抗氰交替途径的运行程度在两种不同的低温胁迫处理条件下无显著差异。     

The Relationship Between the Activity of Cyanide-resistant Respiration and the Expression of Alternative Oxidase in Different Organs of Mung Bean Seedlings

Twelve peptides, including eight conservative amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of hydrophilic S helix of the alternative oxidase (AOX), were synthesized by solid-phase method. The polypeptide was coupled to αchymotrypsinogen, and the antibodies against this complex were obtained in rabbit. By using these antibodies, which were raised to immunoreact with total proteins of purified mitochondria from different organs of mung bean (Phaseolous radiatus L.) seedlings, it was found that there were two hybridizable AOX fractions in the mitochondria of mung bean seedlings. Their molecular weight was about 35 kD and 38 kD, respectively. Moreover, among the respiratory parameters obtained in hypocotyl, true leaf and cotyledon of mung bean seedlings true leaf had the highest total respiration (Vt), alternative pathway (AP) capacity(Valt) and the activity of AP (ρValt). Hypocotyl Vt and ρValt were the lowest, but its Vt was higher than that of the cotyledon. The activities of total and cyanide-resistant respiration were consistant with the analysis of Western blotting of AOX expression. The highest Vt and ρValt in true leaf were accompanied by two hybridizable polypeptides of AOX protein. The next was cotyledon Vt and ρValt with only one 38 kD hybridizable polypeptide of AOX protein. Hypocotyl Vt and ρValt were the lowest and its immunobloting band was similar to that of the cotyledon, but the expression amount of 38 kD protein was less than that of the cotyledon. The 35 kD AOX may make the main contribution to the true leaf ρValt.     

Effects of KCN and NaN3 Pretreatment on the Cyanide-Resistant Respiration in Tobacco Callus

The effects of KCN (0.5mmol/L) and NaN3 (0.01 mmol/L) pretreatment on the operation of the alternative pathway in subcultured tobacco (Nicotiana rustica L. cv. Gansu yellow flower) callus were analyzed. After treatment with KCN and NaN3 for 12 h, the total respiration rate (Vt) decreased by 12% and 17%, whereas oxygen consuption by the cytochrome pathway decreased by 22% and 28% respectively. The capacity of the alternative pathway (Valt) remained constant, while the activity of the alternative pathway (ρ· Valt ) inreased slightly. This changing pattern led to a declined contribution of the cytochrome pathway to the total respiration rate and an increased activity of the alternative pathway. Treatment with KCN for 24 h brought about a slight rise of oxygen consumption by the cytochrome pathway as compared with that in callus treated for 12 h, but the oxygen consumption was still lower than that in the untreated callus. Treatment with NaN3 for 24 h resulted in a profound decrease of the cytochrome pathway operation and a continuing increase of the alternative pathway operation. These data indicated that the enhanced operation of the alternative pathway played a compensatory role to the total respiration when the cytochrome pathway was partially inhibited in tobacco callus.     

盐胁迫下烟草愈伤组织内源活性氧及乙烯的产生与交替途径发生,？…

This paper reported firstly the dynamic changes of the alternative pathway and the cytochrome pathway in tobacco callus under different concentration of salt. The production rate of endogenous ethylene, the contents of active oxygen species (O2-., .OH and H2O2) and the activities of related enzyme (SOD and CAT) were also investigated simultaneously. The results indicated that the actual operation of the alternative pathway (rho Valt) increased gradually and reached the maxima at 0.75% salt concentration, then declined, while the capacity of the alternative pathway (Valt) didn't exhibit the same change pattern with rho Valt and the cytochrome pathway (rho' Vcyt) changed contrary to rho Valt. At the same time, H2O2 and O2-. accumulated rapidly and reached their peak value at about 0.5% and 0.75% salt concentration respectively, while the content of .OH increased consistently. The production rate of endogenous ethylene increased rapidly and reached its maxima at about 0.5% salt concentration. These data demonstrated that changes of Valt in tobacco callus were associated with a parallel production of H2O2 and endogenous ethylene and a opposite production of .OH, while rho Valt changed parally with the production of O2-.. On the basis of above results, it was deduced that the changes of the development and operation of the alternative pathway in tobacco callus under salt stress might be correlated with the production of endogenous ethylene and the active oxygen species. The possible participation of the alternative pathway in response to salt stress was also discussed.

Comparison between Aging of Slices and Ethylene Treatment of Whole White Potato Tubers

Cyanide-resistant O(2) consumption can be stimulated by either treating whole white potato tubers (Norchip) with ethylene, in the presence of 100% O(2), or aging slices obtained from untreated potato tubers. A comparison of alternative pathway activity elicited by either treatment was undertaken. The proportion of electrons flowing through the alternative path in the presence of intermediate concentrations of KCN and at various concentrations of salicylhydroxamic acid was identical in both cases. However, the respiration of slices from ethylene-treated tubers was in every case stimulated by KCN, whereas the aged slices never exhibited this phenomenon. Furthermore, the metabolism of d-[U-(14)C]glucose was several hundred times greater in aged slices than in fresh slices from C(2)H(4)-treated tubers. These results, along with the respiratory kinetics of aged slices from ethylene-treated tubers, suggest that aged slices and fresh slices from ethylene-treated tubers are biochemically dissimilar.     

Studies on the Wound-Induced CN-Resistant Respiration in Potato Tuber Slices

The respiration of fresh potato slices was sensitive to CN-, and was not inhibited by m-CLAM in the presence or absence of CN-. By contrast, the wound-induced respiration of slices, incubated in air for 24 hours, was not only relatively resistant to CN-, but also markedly inhibited by m-CLAM in the presence or absence of CN-. When m-CLAM and CN- were added togather, the inhibitory effect was higher than that of them when used separately. The observations indicated that the alternate path is operative in aged potato slices. The data determined by the method of m-CLAM titration showed that the actual contribution of alternate path and cytochrome path in aged potato slices was approximately 28% and 54% of the total respiration respectively in the absence of CN-. When the cytochrome path was inhibited by CN-, the maximal capacity of alternate path (Valt was higher than the actual contribution of them (ρ·Valt). The increased contribution of alternate path in presence of CN- might be thought to indicate that there is a diversion of electron flux from the cytochrome path to the alternate path. When the respiratory flux of aged slices was reduced by treatment with iodoacetate and malonate, the proportions of respiration inhibited by CN- and m-CLAM respectively were not changed.     

The regulation of respiration and growth of potato tuber callus by endogenous ethylene. Suppression of ethylene action by 2,5-norbornadiene

The growth (fresh and dry weight increase) of potato tuber ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) callus discs was stimulated by incubation in air with 500 ppm 2,5-norbornadiene (NBD, a competitive inhibitor of ethylene action) and inhibited by incubation in air with 4 000 ppm NBD. Ethylene formation by the callus was stimulated by NBD. The development of the alternative pathway, measured in isolated mitochondria was inhibited by NBD in a concentration-dependent way. The alternative pathway capacity, measured in vivo, was inhibited by 4 000 ppm NBD, but not by 500 ppm. Uninhibited in vivo respiration, which consists of cytochrome path activity and alternative path activity, was stimulated by the treatment with 500 ppm NBD. The main contribution to this stimulation was made by the cytochrome pathway. In 4 000 ppm NBD-treated callus, uninhibited respiration seemed to be unaffected as a consequence of an inhibited cytochrome path activity, which was compensated by a stimulated alternative path activity. Both in 500 and 4 OIK) ppm NBD-treated callus the alternative path activity in vivo was stimulated.
The regulatory role for endogenous ethylene in potato tuber callus is discussed in relation to: 1) The induction of respiratory pathways, 2) the supply of reduction equivalents in vivo and 3) growth.     

Alternative Oxidase of Potato Is an Integral Membrane Protein Synthesized de Novo during Aging of Tuber Slices

The rise in alternative respiratory capacity upon aging of potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber slices is correlated with changes in mitochondrial membrane protein composition and a requirement for cytoplasmic protein synthesis. However, the lack of an antibody specific to the alternative oxidase has, until recently, prevented examination of the alternative oxidase protein(s) itself. We have employed a monoclonal antibody raised against the Sauromatum guttatum alternative oxidase to investigate developmental changes in the alternative pathway of aging potato slice mitochondria and to characterize the potato alternative oxidase by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The relative levels of a 36 kilodalton protein parallel the rise in alternative path capacity. A plausible interpretation is that this alternative oxidase protein is synthesized de novo during aging of potato slices.     

Wound-induced respiration and pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase in potato tubers

A seven fold increase in the rate of respiratory O2 uptake was observed 24 h after slicing of potato tuber disks. The maximum activity of pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase (PFP) was 5-7 times greater than that of ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFK) in fresh or aged potato slices. Thus, PFP may participate in glycolysis which supplies respiratory substrate in potato tubers. The PFP activity of desalted extracts determined in the absence of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) increased by 4.5 fold 24 h after slicing. However, maximal PFP activity determined with saturating (1 microM) F2,6BP was not changed. The Ka values of PFP for F2,6BP was lowered from 33 to 7 nM after 24 h of aging treatment. This increased susceptibility of the PFP activity to its allosteric activator, F2,6BP, may be involved in the increased respiration in wounded disks of potato tubers. Immunoblotting experiments indicated that both the alpha (66 kDa) and the beta (60 kDa) subunits of PFP were present in fresh or 24 h aged tuber slices.     

The Cyanide-resistant Respiration in Callus of Nicotiana rustica cv. Gansu Yellow Flower Under Low Temperature

The increasement of the operation (ρValt) and the capacity of the alternative pathway (Valt) in tobacco (Nicotiana rustica L. cv. Gansu Yellow Flower) callus that treated by low temperature (4 ℃) were observed. The two electron transport pathways were changed alternatively, the cyanide-resistant respiration was the main respiratory pathway from the 2nd day to the 5th day, while the cytochrome pathway was the main pathway consistently in control callus. Cycloheximide and chloramphenicol treatment which inhibited protein synthesis resulted in dramatic and partly inhibition of Valt induced by low temperature respectively. This further proved above result that low temperature induced Valt. The same result was found when two inhibitors were used together. The analysis of heat production of callus indicated that the operation of the alternative pathway could be regulated to improve the micro-environmental temperature of tobacco callus to adapt to low temperature. The possible participation of the alternative pathway in the response to low temperature and its physiological roles were discussed.     

Alternative pathway activities in aged potato tuber slices measured by three methods

To find a simple and reliable oxygen electrode-based method to estimate the values of alternative pathway activity (V _alt) and its contribution to total respiration V _alt/V _t) in aged potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber slices, we compared conventional hydroxamate-inhibiting method, improved hydroxamate-inhibiting method with 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP), and the oxygen isotope discrimination (OID) method. The values of V _alt and V _alt/V _t obtained with an improved hydroxamate-inhibiting method with DCPIP in 12-h- and 24-h-aged slices were about twice higher than those with the conventional hydroxamate-inhibiting method. Only a relatively small difference in the values of V _alt and V _alt/V _t obtained by the OID method and the improved hydroxamate-inhibiting method with DCPIP in 12-h and 24-h-aged slices was observed. These results indicated that the improved hydroxamate-inhibiting method with DCPIP could be considered as a new, simple, and reliable technique for the noninvasive assay of the AP activity.From Fiziologiya Rastenii, Vol. 52, No. 2, 2005, pp. 311–315.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Hou, Zhou, Kong, Liang, Zhang.This article was submitted by the authors in English.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Ethylene and wound-induced cyanide-resistant respiration climaxes in potato: The synergistic role of CO2 and the selective role of lycorine

When treated with ethylene in O₂, conditioned potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank) tubers – that is, tubers kept at room temperature for 10 days or more – yield slices that are CN^? resistant. Ten % CO₂ in the gas mixture not only synergizes the effect of ethylene, but replaces the need for conditioning as well. The response to CO₂ is more pronounced with increasing time from harvest. By contrast fresh slices from untreated tubers are CN^? sensitive, as are slices from tubers incubated in O₂ or O₂ plus CO₂. The suggestion is made that CN^? resistance is constitutive, and that treatment with ethylene/CO₂ in O₂ confers on potato tuber tissue a resistance to the extensive degradation of membrane phospholipids that normally attends slicing and leads to the loss of CN^? resistance. In this connection respiration inhibition by imidazole, an inhibitor of fatty acid α-oxidation, is extensive in slices of untreated tubers, and sharply diminished in slices of ethylene-treated tubers in proportion to their CN^? resistance. The coextensive rise of respiration rate and CN^? resistance in aged potato slices has led to the presumption that the CN^?-resistant path mediates the respiration climax. Accordingly the alkaloid, lycorine, has been considered to inhibit the development of CN^? resistance in aging potato slices because it curtails the wound-induced respiration. A comparison was carried out on the effect of lycorine on CN^?-sensitive and CN^?-resistant fresh slices – the latter obtained from ethylene/CO₂-treated tubers. Lycorine suppressed the development of the wound-induced respiration without restricting the development of CN^? resistance.     

抗氰交替途径对寄主植物感病性的调节

马铃薯块茎切片－ 软腐病菌亲和互作过程中, 不同强度的亲和互作中活性氧的释放有其不同的特点。在强亲和互作中的２４ 小时内,无明显的活性氧释放。但在弱亲和互作中,互作８ 小时后,即有明显的活性氧的释放,２０ 小时达到高峰,并且这种活性氧的释放提高寄主的抗病性。试验显示马铃薯块茎切片与软腐病菌的亲和互作诱导寄主抗氰交替途径的运行,ＳＨＡＭ 处理降低亲和互作过程中寄主的感病性, 同时ＳＨＡＭ 处理也促进亲和互作中寄主活性氧释放高峰的出现, 表明抗氰交替途径的运行可通过抑制亲和互作中寄主活性氧的产生而促进寄主的感病性。从而证明了一种新的寄主植物抗感病反应机制     

Alternative respiration and heat evolution in plants

The alternative respiratory pathway dissipates most of the chemical energy of respiratory substrates as heat. We have shown that this heat can be quantified by microcalorimetry and is a measure of alternative pathway activity in vivo. The alternative pathway is known to increase in aged potato (Solanum tuberosum) slices and in chill-stressed leaves. Aging of potato slices for 24 hours was accompanied by an almost fourfold increase in the rate of heat evolution. This heat increase was resistant to KCN but could be blocked by an alternative pathway inhibitor, salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). In cucumber (Cucumis sativus) leaves subjected to chilling stress (between 4 and 16°C), the rate of heat evolution was inversely related to temperature. As in aged potato slices, the increased rate of heat evolution in cucumber leaves was blocked by SHAM, but not by KCN. Nitrogen or the combination of SHAM and KCN blocked most of the heat evolution in both aged potato slices and chill-stressed cucumber leaves. Calorimetric measurements of the alternative pathway corresponded to respiration measurements performed using an oxygen electrode.
