In order to determine the feasibility of using radioactive precursors as markers for membrane phospholipids in Acanthamoeba palestinensis, the characteristics of phospholipids labeled with choline-14C and glycerol-3H were examined. Choline-14C was found to be a specific label for phosphatidyl choline. There was a turnover of the radioactive moiety of phosphatidyl choline at a rate that varied with the concentration of nonradioactive choline added to the growth medium. Radioactivity was lost from labeled phosphatidyl choline into the acid-soluble intracellular pool and from the pool into the extracellular medium. This loss of radioactivity from cells leveled off and an equilibrium was reached between the label in the cells and in the medium. Radioactive choline was incorporated into phosphatidyl choline by cell-free microsomal suspensions. This incorporation leveled off with the attainment of an equilibrium between the choline-14C in the reaction mixture and the choline-14C moiety of phosphatidyl choline in the microsomal membranes. Therefore, a choline exchange reaction may occur in cell-free membranes, as well as living A. palestinensis. In contrast to choline-14C, the apparent turnover of glycerol-3H-labeled phospholipids was not affected by large concentrations of nonradioactive choline or glycerol in the medium. The radioactivity in lipids labeled with glycerol-3H consisted of 33% neutral lipids and 67% phospholipids. Phospholipids labeled with glycerol-3H turned over slowly, with a concomitant increase in the percentage of label in neutral lipids, indicating a conversion of phospholipids to neutral lipids. Because most (~96%) of the glycerol-3H recovered from microsomal membranes was in phospholipids, whereas only a minor component (~2%) of the glycerol-3H was in the phospholipids isolated from nonmembrane lipids, glycerol-3H was judged to be a specific marker for membrane phospholipids.  相似文献

Cultures of cloned neuroblastoma cells (N1E) in stationary phase and cloned glioma cells (C21) in confluency showed substantial differences in phospholipid composition. As a percentage of lipid P, N1E contained more phosphatidylcholine, less ethanolamine phosphoglycerides and much less sphingomyelin than C21. When incubated with 32Pi both cell lines incorporated comparable amounts of radioactivity into total phospholipids. In NIE, phosphatidylcholine contained much more and phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid somewhat less label as compared to C21. The presence in the incubation medium of either norepinephrine or carbamylcholine failed to elicit stimulation of 32P incorporation into any phospholipid class.  相似文献

Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a potent Ca2+ mobilizing second messenger which triggers Ca2+ release in both sea urchin egg homogenates and in mammalian cells. The NAADP binding protein has not been identified and the regulation of NAADP mediated Ca2+ release remains controversial. To address this issue, we have synthesized an NAADP analog in which 3-azido-5-azidomethylbenzoic acid is attached to the amino group of 5-(3-aminopropyl)-NAADP to produce an NAADP analog which is both a photoaffinity label and clickable. This ‘all-in-one-clickable’ NAADP (AIOC-NAADP) elicited Ca2+ release when microinjected into cultured human SKBR3 cells at low concentrations. In contrast, it displayed little activity in sea urchin egg homogenates where very high concentrations were required to elicit Ca2+ release. In mammalian cell homogenates, incubation with low concentrations of [32P]AIOC-NAADP followed by irradiation with UV light resulted in labeling 23 kDa protein(s). Competition between [32P]AIOC-NAADP and increasing concentrations of NAADP demonstrated that the labeling was selective. We show that this label recognizes and selectively photodervatizes the 23 kDa NAADP binding protein(s) in cultured human cells identified in previous studies using [32P]5-N3-NAADP.  相似文献

In previous reports experimental evidence has been presented indicating a possible relationship between the formation of arseno-phosphoinositides and the active transport of arsenate-phosphate in yeast cells. There is an increment in the amount of inositides in yeast cells adapted to grow in the presence of toxic concentrations of arsenate. These cells exhibit a highly reduced arsenate uptake but maintain their capacity to transport phosphate. Since, in normal (nonadapted) yeast cells, both arsenate and phosphate anions share the same transport system, a study was conducted to obtain further information about the plausible role played by the phosphoinositides in the active transport system of arsenate and their inhibition that allows the cells to grow in the presence of the toxic. Studies on [32P]orthophosphate and [74As]arsenate incorporation into phospholipids in normal and arsenate-adapted yeast show that: The 32P incorporation into phospholipids is two times larger in normal yeast as compared to arsenateadapted ones. The 32P labeling was maximum for phosphatidylinositol in normal yeasts while in the arsenate-adapted cells it was maximum for phosphatidylcholine. This incorporation was largely inhibited by arsenate in normal yeasts and minimal in the arsenate-adapted ones. Cell fractionation shows that the maximum incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate resides in the microsomal fraction, while the incorporation of [74As]arsenate resides mainly in the cell envelope fraction which incorporates 86% of the 74As label. Phosphate is capable of inhibiting the 74As-inositide complex formation and destroying the previously formed one. Yeast cells prelabeled with [2C-3H]myoinositol showed a reduced turnover rate of phosphoinositides even when transporting nontoxic amounts of arsenate. The involvement of the inositides as a regulatory mechanism in the phosphate-arsenate active transport system in yeast cells is discussed.  相似文献

LIPID COMPOSITION AND METABOLISM OF CULTURED HAMSTER BRAIN ASTROCYTES   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Abstract— The lipid composition and metabolism of confluent cultures of cells derived from newborn hamster brain and having morphology characteristic of immature astrocytes or spongioblasts was investigated and compared to that of newborn hamster brain dispersions and cloned glioma cells (C6). The cells displayed stable morphology for at least 30 subcultures; thereafter spontaneous transformation occurred. No appreciable changes were observed in either composition or metabolic characteristics of any major neutral lipid or phospholipid class in successive subcultures or following transformation. The overall lipid composition of the hamster astrocyte cultures closely resembled that of newborn hamster brain, but the phospholipid composition showed substantial differences. The cells contained as a percent of lipid P relatively more ethanolamine plasmalogen, choline plasmalogen and sphingomyelin and somewhat less phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The phospholipids of the hamster astrocyte and C6 cells were similar. Of the lipid precursors examined, [U-14C]glucose was incorporated best into all preparations. C6 glioma cells incorporated both [U-14C]glucose and [1-14C]acetate most actively. From 69–88% of 32P incorporated into hamster astrocyte phospholipids was present in choline phosphoglycerides, whereas the corresonding figure for hamster brain dispersions was 53%. The ratio of specific activities of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylinositol was substantially higher in the cultured cells than in the brain preparations. The small pool of choline plasmalogen in the hamster astrocytes usually achieved the highest specific activity of any phospholipid. When [U-14C]glucose and [1-14C]acetate were precursors, the bulk of label in the astrocytes appeared in choline phosphoglycerides and triacyglycerol. Our results indicate that the hamster astrocyte cell line as grown expresses distinctive features of lipid composition and metabolism which are nearly constant through many generations.  相似文献

Abstract— Seventeen day old rats were injected intraocularly with a phospholipid precursor, [32P]phosphate, and a glycoprotein precursor, [3H]fucose. Animals were killed between 1 h and 21 days later, and structures of the visual pathway (retina, optic nerve, optic tract, lateral geniculate body, and superior colliculus) were dissected. Radioactivity in phospholipids ([32P] in solvent-extracted material) and in glycoproteins ([3H] in solvent-extracted residue) was determined. Incorporation of [3H]fucose into retinal glycoproteins peaked at 6–8 h. Labelled glycoproteins were present in superior colliculus by 2h after injection, indicating a rapid rate of transport; maximal labelling was at 8–10 h after injection. Incorporation of [32P]phosphate into retinal phospholipids peaked at 1 day after injection. Phospholipids were also rapidly transported since label was present in the superior colliculus by 3 h after injection: however, maximal labelling did not occur until 5–6 days. These results indicate that newly synthesized phospholipids enter a preexisting pool, part of which is later committed to transport at a rapid rate. Transported phospholipids were catabolized at the nerve endings with a maximum half-life of several days; there was minimal recycling of precursor label. Lipids were fractionated by thin-layer chromatography, and radioactivity in individual phospholipid classes determined. Choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides were the major transported phospholipids, together accounting for approx 85% of the total transported lipid radioactivity. At early time points, the ratio of radioactivity in choline phosphoglycerides to that in ethanolamine phosphoglycerides increased in structures progressively removed from the site of synthesis (retina) but by 2 days approached a constant value. In each structure, choline phosphoglyceride-ethanolamine phosphoglyceride radioactivity ratios decreased with time, rapidly at first, but plateaued by 2 days. These results indicate that choline phosphoglycerides are committed to transport sooner than ethanolamine phosphoglycerides. Some experiments were also conducted using [2-3H]glycerol as a phospholipid precursor. Results concerning incorporation of this precursor into individual phospholipid classes and their subsequent axonal transport were comparable to those obtained using [32P]phosphate, with the following exceptions: (a) incorporation of [2-3H]glycerol into retinal phospholipids was relatively rapid (near-maximal levels at 1 h after injection) although transport to the superior colliculus showed an extended time course very similar to [32P]-labelled lipids; (b) [2-3H]glycerol was somewhat less efficient than [32P]phosphate in labelling lipids committed to transport relative to labelling those which remained in the retina; and (c) [2-3H]glycerol did not label plasmalogens.  相似文献

Phospholipids of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Himalaya) aleurone layers were labeled with myo-[2-3H]inositol or [32Pi], extracted, and analyzed by physical (chromatography) and chemical (deacylation) techniques. Three phospholipids were found to incorporate both myo-[2-3H]inositol and [32Pi]—phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol-monophosphate, and phosphatidylinositol-bisphosphate. Stimulation of [3H]inositol prelabeled aleurone layers with GA3 showed enhanced incorporation of label into phosphatidylinositol within 30 seconds and subsequent rapid breakdown. Stimulation of phosphatidylinositol labeling observed in these studies is the earliest response of aleurone cells to gibberellic acid reported.  相似文献

Agents known to elevate intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) in cultured mesangial cells (e.g., isoproterenol with and without isobutylmethylxanthine (MIX] inhibit vasopressin-induced contraction. Since contraction of these cells in response to vasopressin is accompanied by release of inositol trisphosphate and increased intracellular ionized calcium, we wanted to determine whether cAMP is exerting its relaxing effect by altering phosphoinositide metabolism. Isoproterenol and MIX did not diminish the release of inositol trisphosphate in response to vasopressin. However, the stimulated 32P incorporation into phospholipids seen with vasopressin treatment was diminished by prior treatment with isoproterenol-MIX. Since incorporation of 32P into phospholipids is not only dependent on phospholipid synthesis but also on the amount of label in the gamma-phosphate of ATP, we determined the specific activity of 32P in ATP. We found that suppression of 32P incorporation into phospholipids in cells treated with isoproterenol-MIX was paralleled by a decline of specific activity of 32P in ATP. Furthermore, the changes in ATP specific activity were paralleled by similar changes in phosphate uptake into the cells. Thus, diminished phosphate uptake (transport) could account for the decline of 32P content in phospholipids and ATP following treatment of mesangial cells with isoproterenol-MIX.  相似文献

Orthophosphate is rapidly transported into cultured cells and subsequently incorporated into numerous compounds. A high-performance liquid chromatographic method that enables the measurement of 32Pi incorporation into acid-soluble metabolites in cultured cells treated with exogenous 32Pi is described. Baseline resolution and quantitative recovery of 12 ribonucleotides are accomplished in less than 75 min. In cultured, beating rat heart cells, the concentration and extent of labeling by 32Pi of most phosphorylated metabolites were unchanged in cells treated with the anesthetic halothane (2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane). The method is generally applicable to the investigation of phosphate transport and incorporation by numerous cell types under various experimental conditions.  相似文献

Lymphosarcoma cells isolated from the spleens of tumor-bearing mice were used to study the effect of a low dose of X-rays (5 Gy) on the incorporation of [3H]palmitate and [14C]arachidonate into the lipids of the tumor cells. Palmitate and arachidonate were rapidly incorporated especially into the phospholipids of the cells. Between one and three hours after the start of the incubation with radiactive palmitate 80–90% of the label of the total lipids was found in the phospholipid fraction. Already after a few minutes of incubation with radioactive arachidonate, about 95% of the label was incorporated in the phospholipids. Irradiation caused a small but significant increase in the rate of fatty acid incorporation for both fatty acids. Concomitantly, a significantly increased amount of fatty acid was removed from the medium by the cells as a result of the irradiation, and the specific radioactivity of the free fatty acids in the cells was found to be enhanced. The radiation effect on the tumor cells could be mimicked by a hypotonic treatment. The magnitude of the radiation-induced stimulation of the fatty acid incorporation was similar to that of the hypotonically induced effect. Cells which had received a hypotonic treatment before the irradiation, did not show an additional radiation-induced enhancement of fatty acid incorporation into the cellular lipids. When the cells were incubated with serum albumin loaded with a relatively large (non-physiological) amount of complexed fatty acids (fatty acid: albumin molar ratio, ν = 3.7), no radiation effect on the fatty acid incorporation could be detected. It is concluded that hypotonic treatment, irradiation, and increased supply of exogenous fatty acids all lead to an enhanced flux of fatty acids into the cells. These results confirm our previous suggestion that the uptake of fatty acids through the plasma membrane is the rate-limiting step in the fatty acid incorporation into the phospholipids and that ionizing radiation is one of the means to enhance fatty acid uptake through the plasma membrane leading to an increased incorporation into the phospholipids.  相似文献

Infection of Escherichia coli K-12 (λ) by bacteriophage results in an altered labeling pattern of phospholipids in the host cell. Although the overall incorporation of 32Pi into phospholipids is decreased by infection, the relative amounts of phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin are increased. Phospholipid changes occurring at later stages in the lytic cycle of infected bacteria are more prominent than those at earlier time intervals. The uptake of 32Pi into phospholipids of cells infected with T4Bs and endolysin-negative mutants was similar to that observed with the wild-type phage, suggesting that the development of resistance to lysis from without and the repair of mucopeptides are not responsible for the phospholipid changes. The metabolism of phospholipids in uninfected cells treated with cyanide was similar to that of infected cells, indicating that part of the phage-induced alterations may be a consequence of impaired respiration.  相似文献

The proportion of labeled 14C-glycerol incorporated into phospholipids and the fatty acid composition of three phospholipids in germinating seeds and seedlings of chilling-sensitive lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.) and chilling-resistant broad beans (Vicia faba L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) at 10 and 25 C were determined. During the imbibition of seeds (first 24 hours), lima beans were sensitive to chilling injury at 10 C and a higher proportion of label was incorporated into phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol than in broad beans and peas. Broad beans and peas incorporated a higher proportion of label into phosphatidylcholine. The oleic acid content of phosphatidylcholine was higher and linolenic acid content was lower in peas and broad beans than in lima beans at 10 and 25 C. The unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio was much higher for the chilling-resistant seeds than for the chilling-sensitive ones. In the seedling stage, the proportion of label incorporated into the four major phospholipids was similar in the three species regardless of temperature treatment. The fatty acid content of the phospholipids examined was not different in the three species in the seedling stage.  相似文献

The effect of phagocytosis on the incorporation of 32Pi and myo-[2-3H]inositol into the phosphoinositides (phosphatidylinositol, diphosphoinositide, and triphosphoinositide) by polymorphonuclear leukocytes from guinea pig peritoneal exudates has been studied. The results show that phagocytosis enhanced the incorporation of 32Pi and myo-[2-3H]inositol into all three inositides in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that phagocytosis did not stimulate the loss of the label from the inositides. The findings indicate that the increased radioactivity of the phosphoinositides in polymorphonuclear leukocytes during phagocytosis is due to a greater rate of synthesis of these phospholipids at the time of labeling, rather than due to an increase in the rate of their turnover.  相似文献

[32P]-labeled ATPase was isolated in a highly purified state fromMicrococcus lysodeikticus strain PNB grown in medium supplemented with [32P]orthophosphate. Selective extraction procedures allowed us to determine that at least 25% of the firmly bound label belonged to adenine nucleotides, ATP and ADP being present in equimolar amounts. However, no32P label was found to be part of phospholipids. This was confirmed by purification of the ATPase from cells fed with [2—3H]glycerol. Using the luciferin-luciferase assay we estimated that ATPase freshly isolated by Sephadex chromatography (specific activity 10–14 µmole substrate transformed · min–1 · mg protein–1) contained 2 moles ATP/mole of enzyme. The ratio fell with the age of enzyme and its purification by gel electrophoresis and this was paralleled by a loss of ATPase activity. The endogenous nucleotides were readily exchanged by added ADP or ATP. This result suggests that the sites for tight binding of adenine nucleotides are equivalent, although ADP seems to have a higher affinity for them. The last properties represent a peculiar characteristic of this bacterial ATPase as compared with other bacterial and organelle energy-transducing proteins.  相似文献

Sendai virus infection induced enhancement of 32P incorporation into phospholipids in chick embryo, monkey kidney and bovine kidney cells, as previously observed in chorioallantoic membranes of chick embryos. These findings indicate that phospholipid synthesis is enhanced upon Sendai virus infection. Ultraviolet irradiation abolished the ability of the virus to induce the enhanced synthesis of phospholipids, a fact suggesting that the phenomenon depends upon infectivity of the virus. Gamma irradiation of host cells little affected the enhanced 32P labeling of cellular phospholipids, suggesting that the function of host cell DNA may not be directly involved in the phenomenon.  相似文献

Microsomal fractions prepared from mouse lymphoma L5178Y grown in culture incorporated choline into cellular phospholipids when either choline or CDP-choline was used as the labeled precursor. Incorporation of label from CDP-choline was stimulated by Mg2+ and inhibited by Ca2+. In contrast, incorporation of label from choline required Ca2+ and was inhibited by EGTA. The characteristics of incorporation indicated that L5178Y cells have the capacity to utilize choline for phospholipid synthesis through both the Kennedy pathway and Ca2+-stimulated choline exchange.  相似文献

An in vivo method of labelling lipid fractions in developing seeds of Brassica campestris using [1–14C] acetate has been developed. The “wick” method for introducing label into the intact plant is quite effective, safe and easy to use. The results obtained were reproducible and comparable to those reported earlier for seeds procured from greenhouse grown plants. The labelling pattern showed that rapid oil deposition began around 20 days after anthesis (DAA) and continued until about 45 DAA. The proportion of label in polar lipids declined and that in non-polar lipids increased during the phase of active oil synthesis. Among phospholipids, the label was incorporated mainly in phosphatidyl choline (PC), which was found to be the major fraction of phospholipids. During development, the two galactolipids i.e. monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGDG) and digalactosyl diglyceride (DGDG) followed patterns exactly opposite to each other. The content of the label in MGDG decreased, while that in DGDG increased, indicating the conversion of MGDG to DGDG during maturation.  相似文献

The effect of norepinephrine and acetylcholine on the 32P incorporation into phospholipids of normal and sympathetically denervated rabbit iris muscle was investigated. (1) In the absence of exogenously added neurotransmitters sympathetic denervation exerted little effect on the incorporation of 32P into the phospholipids of the excised iris muscle. In vivo thr iris muscle incorporated 32P into phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and sphingomyelin in that order of activity while in vitro phosphatidylinositol was followed by phosphatidylcholine. (2) Tension responses of iris dilator muscle from denervated irises exhibited supersensitivity to norepinephrine. Furthermore, norepinephrine at concentrations of 3 μM and 30 μM produced 1.6 times and 3 times stimulation of the phosphatidic acid of the denervated muscle respectively. In contrast at 30 μM it stimulated this phospholipid by 1.6 times in the normal muscle. This stimulation was completely blocked by phentolamine. (3) While in the normal muscle acetylcholine stimulated the labelling of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol by more than 2 times, in the denervated muscle it only stimulated 1.4 to 1.7 times. (4) Similarly when 32Pi was administered intracamerally, the labelling found in the various phospholipids of the denervated iris was significantly lower than that of the normal. (5) It was concluded that denervation decreases the 32P labelling in the presence of acetylcholine. (6) The norepinephrine-stimulated 32P incorporation into phosphatidic acid appears to be post-synaptic.  相似文献

The four major phospholipids occurring in diatoms, viz. phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyl choline (lecithin), phosphatidyl ethanolamineand phosphatidyl inositol have been studied using radioactive32P-orthophosphate. Kinetic experiments show that phospholipidformation followed two different biosynthetic patterns in thelight and in the dark. Phosphatidyl glycerol was predominantlysynthesized in the light, when it exhibited a fast rate of turnoverof label. On the other hand, phosphatidyl ethanolamine appearedto be light-inhibited, and accumulated more in the dark. Cultures bubbled independently with oxygen-free nitrogen andCO2-free air and incubated in the light, showed more incorporationof radioactive orthophosphate into phospholipids than similarcultures bubbled with 3 per cent CO2 in air. Cells starved ofcarbon and phosphate appeared to utilize labelled phosphateintermediates and their phospholipid reserves as sources ofthese material respectively. DCMU (10–6 M) and DNP (10–4M) appreciably reduced the amount of 32P incorporated into phospholipids.In the absence of CO2, the inhibitor, DCMTJ did not effectivelyreduce the incorporation of 32P into phospholipids. It is suggestedthat photosystem I plays a dominant role in phospholipid synthesis.  相似文献

Abstract— Young rat cerebral-cortex slices were incubated with 32Pi in the absence and presence of ACh plus eserine, norepinephrine, dopamine or serotonin for 1 h. their cellular and subcellular fractions were isolated, and the specific radioactivities of the various phospholipids determined. In the neuronal- and astroglial-enriched fractions ACh plus eserine increased the 32P-labelling of phosphatidyl inositol (PhI) phosphatidic acid (PhA) and phosphatidylcholine (PhC) by increments which ranged from 108 per cent for PhI to 30 per cent for PhC and in the presence of norepinephrine or dopamine these increments ranged from 180 per cent for PhI to 29 per cent for PhC. In the subcellular fractions ACh plus eserine exerted maximal stimulatory effect on the labelling of the synaptosomal phospholipids, which was 88 per cent for PhI and 79 per cent for PhA, followed by those of microsomes, mitochondria and nuclei. ACh plus eserine exerted no effect on [l4C]glucose incorporation, but inhibited the incorporation of [14C]glycerol into phospholipids by amounts which ranged from 30 per cent for PhI to 3 per cent for PhE. Although the rate of incorporation of 32Pi into phospholipids of 0.2 mm slices was higher than that of the 0.5 mm slices the stimulatory effect of ACh plus eserine on the 32Pi incorporation into the lipids of the latter was higher. When neuronal- and astroglial enriched fractions were first isolated from the cerebra then incubated with 32Pi or [14C]choline, labelling of phospholipids in the neuronal fraction was higher than that of the astroglial fraction; however, ACh plus eserine had no effect on the incorporation of 32Pi into the lipids of either fraction. ACh plus eserine stimulated the activity of phosphatidic acid phosphatase in the various subcellular fractions by increments which ranged from 13 per cent in nuclei to 37 per cent in microsomes. It was concluded that the nonspecific localization of the neurotransmitter effect could be due to the widespread distribution of the enzymes which appear to be responsive to cholinergic and adrenergic neurotransmitters.  相似文献
