磷脂酸（phosphatidic acid,PA)和溶血磷脂酸（lysophosphatidic acid,LPA)是细胞内和细胞外信号转导的重要磷脂信号分子。它们主要通过磷脂酶D和磷脂酶C两条途径产生,并且PA在磷脂酶A2的催化下可水解生成LPA。越来越多证据表明,PA和LPA在细胞诸多生理功能中起重要作用。本文主要介绍PA和LPA的生理功能及作用机制的研究进展。     

磷脂酸在植物中的第二信使功能

磷脂酸(phosphatidic acid, PA)是植物中重要的细胞内信号分子,被称为“脂质第二信使”,特别是几个PA的作用靶点已被克隆和鉴定.植物体内PA的产生可以通过磷脂酶C和D两条信号通路,前者与甘油二酯激酶协同作用.PA主要由各种生物和非生物胁迫诱导产生,磷脂酸的水平在各种胁迫处理后的几分钟内增强.增强的信号水平通过PA的磷酸化形成甘油二酯焦磷酸而被迅速减弱.本文就PA产生的磷脂酶信号通路,PA在各种胁迫诱导下的产生,PA的作用靶点和作用机理及在植物中的功能等几个方面进行综述.

磷脂酸的诱导和降解在植物逆境响应中的作用

磷脂酸(phosphatidic acid,PA)是植物中重要的脂质信号分子,被称为"脂质第二信使",参与多种逆境胁迫相关的信号传导途径.植物体内的PA可通过直接的磷脂酶D途径和间接的磷脂酶C途径产生.当植物受到胁迫刺激后,细胞内的PA含量会在几分钟内升高,在胁迫消失后经磷酸化作用形成甘油二酯焦磷酸降解,恢复到正常水平...     

溶血磷脂酸受体2

High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of ascorbic acid,erythorbic acid,dehydroascorbic acid,dehydroerythorbic acid,diketogulonic acid,and diketogluconic acid

High-performance liquid chromatography on a Zorbax NH₂ analytical column, with acetonitrile: 0.05 m KH₂PO₄ (75:25, $\text{w}\text{w}$) used as eluant, has allowed the separation, in less than 14 min, of ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, dehydroerythorbic acid, diketogulonic acid, and diketogluconic acid. Ultraviolet monitoring at 268 nm allows ascorbic acid and erythorbic acid to be detected at the 25-ng level, while refractive index detection monitors the elution of all six compounds. Tyrosine is a good internal standard, being well separated from the other compounds and having an adequate ultraviolet absorption at 268 nm. We have found dithiothreitol to be effective in rapidly reducing dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid, providing the basis for indirectly determining dehydroascorbic acid after its reduction. The potential of this high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for evaluating the levels of these compounds in orange juice and urine is demonstrated.     

Aluminium-organic acid interactions in acid soils

A study was undertaken to quantify the rates of aluminum release in an acid soil (pH 4.40) which was known to produce differential growth responses to Al in Al-resistant and sensitive wheat cultivars which are characterized by differences in root organic acid exudation. Soil columns were leached with artificial soil solutions containing no Al in the presence or absence of citrate for periods of up to 12 days. The Al release rates could be resolved into two dissolution phases: A fast release phase for Al was attributed to the cation exchangeable pool while a second slower phase was attributable to the dissolution of readily weatherable minerals. Citrate increased the dissolution rates two fold in comparison to experiments performed without citrate. It was concluded that for rhizosphere considerations, the total releasable Al pool was finite in size and constituted approximately 2% of the soil's total Al reserves. This pool was not increased markedly in the presence of citrate. It was concluded that citrate not only complexed Al in solution but also complexed Al directly from the mineral phase. From experimental Al release rates, it was deduced that only the soil solution and exchangeable Al pools were responsible for Al rhizotoxicity and that organic acids exuded from the root probably provide an efficient mechanism for excluding Al from the root. Empirical equations were also constructed to describe Al dissolution from the two release pools for use in soil Al flux models.     

Solid-liquid phase behavior of binary fatty acid mixtures. 1. Oleic acid/stearic acid and oleic acid/behenic acid mixtures

Solid-liquid phase behavior of binary fatty acid mixtures was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) for the mixture composed of oleic acid (OA) and stearic acid (SA) and that composed of OA and behenic acid (BA). The DSC results provided a monotectic type T-X phase diagram for these mixtures, from which it was suggested that the two fatty acid species are completely immiscible in a solid phase regardless of the two polymorphs of OA, i.e., alpha-form or gamma-form. The solid phase immiscibility was confirmed by the FT-IR observation that the spectra obtained for the mixtures correspond to the superposition of the two spectra for respective components. Thermodynamic analysis of liquidus line demonstrated that OA and SA form an ideal mixture in a liquid phase, whereas the mixing of OA and BA in a liquid phase is slightly non-ideal.     

Solid-liquid phase behavior of binary fatty acid mixtures 3. Mixtures of oleic acid with capric acid (decanoic acid) and caprylic acid (octanoic acid)

Solid-liquid phase behavior of binary mixtures of oleic acid (OA)/capric acid (C10A) and OA/caprylic acid (C8A) were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction. The phase diagram of OA/C10A mixture constructed from the DSC results suggested that a molecular compound with the composition of OA:C10A = 3:2 is formed in a solid phase, and OA and the molecular compound are miscible, while C10A and the molecular compound are completely immiscible. The formation of the molecular compound was supported by the IR spectroscopic observation, and a possible model of the structure was proposed on the basis of X-ray diffraction spectrum in small angle region. This compound formation is characteristic of the OA/C10A mixture, and may be attributed to the similarity of the acyl chain length of C10A to the lengths of Delta- and omega-chains of OA (i.e., the chain segments divided by cis-double bond). The mixture of OA and C8A, whose chain length is close to but shorter than the two chain segments of OA, provided a eutectic-type phase diagram showing a partial mixing of the two components in OA-rich region. Thermodynamic analysis of the liquidus line in the phase diagram exhibits a systematic trend for the non-ideality parameter of mixing with the variation of the chain length difference between OA and saturated fatty acid species.
