乙酰水杨酸和乙烯处理对猕猴桃果实后熟软化的影响

以猕猴桃(Actinidia deliciosa(A.Chev.)C.F.Liang et A.R.Ferguson cv.Bruno)果实为试材,研究乙酰水杨酸(ASA)与乙烯处理对果实内源水杨酸(SA)含量变化以及后熟软化相关因子的影响,探讨SA在果实成熟衰老进程的作用.研究结果表明:果实后熟软化进程中,内源SA水平呈下降变化,组织中SA水平与果实硬度变化呈极显著正相关关系(r=0.969 4**),ASA处理可显著地维持组织中较高的SA水平,抑制脂氧合酶(LOX)和丙二烯氧合酶(AOS)活性增加,减低O-.2生成速率,维持细胞膜稳定性,进而抑制了乙烯生物合成或推迟乙烯跃变的到来,延缓了果实后熟软化进程,这些效应主要表现在乙烯跃变之前或乙烯跃变前期;相反,外源乙烯处理则显著降低果实组织中内源SA水平,促进LOX和AOS活性的增加,促使O-.2积累,增加了细胞膜透性,促使乙烯跃变的提前到来,加速了果实的后熟软化.推测组织中的内源SA水平与细胞膜脂过氧化作用密切相关,外源ASA可能作为一种O-.2等自由基的清除剂或是细胞膜稳定剂在组织成熟衰老过程中起作用.

柿果实采后氧化还原电位与乙烯合成和相关酶活性的关系

该研究以广西特色柿品种‘恭城月柿''为材料,在采后贮藏过程中对其氧化还原电位(ORP)、乙烯生物合成量、硬度、色差、抗氧化酶及细胞壁降解酶活性的变化进行了测定,初步探讨柿果实氧化还原电位与乙烯生物合成和相关酶活性的关系。结果表明:贮藏期果实的硬度整体呈下降趋势,乙烯利处理果实的硬度从采后3 d即急速下降,至贮藏末期始终显著低于对照。贮藏前14 d果实转色较缓慢,采后15 d乙烯利处理果实的总色差ΔE值快速上升至29.6,转色完全,显著高于对照的11.9。在贮藏前期处理和对照果实的ORP均稳定在7.5 mv·g^-1,采后15 d乙烯利处理果实的ORP快速上升至11.9 mv·g^-1,是对照组的1.4倍。乙烯利处理果实的乙烯生物合成量在贮藏前期呈较低水平,采后15 d乙烯生成量急剧增加至0.372 μL·kg^-1·h^-1的高峰,对照乙烯生成量则始终维持在0.033 μL·kg^-1·h^-1的较低水平。可见,乙烯生成量的增加与ORP的上升关系密切。此外,抗氧化酶中的过氧化物酶(POD)和细胞壁降解酶中的β-D-半乳糖苷酶(β-D-Gal)活性与ORP呈极显著正相关,表明二者受果实ORP变化的影响。因此,经乙烯利处理柿果实的ORP贮藏末期显著上升,促进乙烯生物合成量的急剧增加,诱导抗氧化酶POD和细胞壁降解酶 β-D-Gal活性增强,导致果实急速后熟软化。柿果实ORP可能作为开关调控1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸(ACC)生成乙烯这一生物化学反应,即打破ORP的稳定状态引发乙烯合成的启动。

Biochemical Studies on Hydrocyanic Acid Potential and Amino Acid in Sorghums

This research is conducted to study the HCN-p of several types of sorghum, as well as their changes in amino acid. The HCN-p of sorghum seedling reached its maximum in 4–6 days after germination. It was found that the first leaf of the seedling has the highest HCN-p. Among the 14 varieties studied, Atlas had the highest HCN-p (1984ppm), whereas NP-22 had the lowest value (479ppm). Light-grown seedlings had higher HCN-p. There was no obvious difference in protein amino acid in sorghum seedlings with .different HCN-p. However, the free amino acid content did vary in the sorghum varieties. The content of free tyrval, pheleu and ileu in etiolated Atlas seedlings was significantly higher than that in NP-22 seedlings. However, under condition of light, the five free amino acids lowers significantly in content in Atlas when compared be NP-22. This proves that Atlas had a more sensitive enzyme system and under presence of light, its free amino acid content was rapidly converted to cyanide.     

Purification and Characterization of the Heat-Stable Factors Essential for the Conversion of Lignoceric Acid to Cerebronic Acid and Glutamic Acid: Identification of N-Acetyl-l-Aspartic Acid

Abstract: The conversion of lignoceric acid to cerebronic acid, ceramides, cerebrosides, and glutamic acid is catalyzed by a rat brain particulate preparation. The heat-stable factor, prepared from calf cerebellum, together with the heat-labile factor, a pyridine nucleotide, and Mg²⁺ are essential to all of these metabolic pathways. Our previous work showed that the heat-stable factor is composed of at least two components, HSF-1 and HSF-2, and identified HSF-2 as d -glucose-6-phosphate. In the current investigation, HSF-1 was further purified and found to be N -acetyl- l -aspartic acid. In addition, it was discovered that a third component, HSF-3, is also required for heat-stable factor activity. A reconstituted system composed of N -acetylaspartic acid, glucose-6-phosphate, and HSF-3 fully replaced the heat-stable factor essential for the conversion of lignoceric acid to cerebronic acid and glutamic acid. The reconstituted heat-stable factor did not show the initial time lag always observed with the crude heat-stable factor.     

Blood-Brain Barrier Produces Significant Efflux of L-Aspartic Acid but Not D-Aspartic Acid

The brain efflux index method has been used to clarify the mechanism of efflux transport of acidic amino acids such as L-aspartic acid (L-Asp), L-glutamic acid (L-Glu), and D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). About 85% of L-[3H]Asp and 40% of L-[3H]Glu was eliminated from the ipsilateral cerebrum within, respectively, 10 and 20 min of microinjection into the brain. The efflux rate constant of L-[3H]Asp and L-[3H]Glu was 0.207 and 0.0346 min(-1), respectively. However, D-[3H]Asp was not eliminated from brain over a 20-min period. The efflux of L-[3H]Asp and L-[3H]Glu was inhibited in the presence of excess unlabeled L-Asp and L-Glu, whereas D-Asp did not inhibit either form of efflux transport. Aspartic acid efflux across the BBB appears to be stereospecific. Using a combination of TLC and the bioimaging analysis, attempts were made to detect the metabolites of L-[3H]Asp and L-[3H]Glu in the ipsilateral cerebrum and jugular vein plasma following a microinjection into parietal cortex, area 2. Significant amounts of intact L-[3H]Asp and L-[3H]Glu were found in all samples examined, including jugular vein plasma, providing direct evidence that at least a part of the L-Asp and L-Glu in the brain interstitial fluid is transported across the BBB in the intact form. To compare the transport of acidic amino acids using brain parenchymal cells, brain slice uptake studies were performed. Although the slice-to-medium ratio of D-[3H]Asp was the highest, followed by L-[3H]Glu and L-[3H]Asp, the initial uptake rate did not differ for both L-[3H]Asp and D-[3H]Asp, suggesting that the uptake of aspartic acid in brain parenchymal cells is not stereospecific. These results provide evidence that the BBB may act as an efflux pump for L-Asp and L-Glu to reduce the brain interstitial fluid concentration and act as a static wall for D-Asp.

Tobacco Salicylic Acid Glucosyltransferase Is Active toward Tuberonic Acid (12-Hydroxyjasmonic Acid) and Is Induced by Mechanical Wounding Stress

Recently we reported that rice salicylic acid (SA) glucosyltransferase (OsSGT) is active toward 12-hydroxyjasmonic acid (tuberonic acid, TA) and that OsSGT gene expression is induced by wounding stress. Here we report that tobacco SA glucosyltransferase (NtSGT), which is thought to be an ortholog of OsSGT, is also active toward TA. Although NtSGT expression is known to be induced by biotrophic stress, it was also induced by wounding stress in the same manner as OsSGT. These results indicate that this glucosyltransferase is important not only in biotrophic stress but also for wounding stress. It was found that this enzyme is dually functional, with activity both toward TA and SA.     

Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism in the Developing Rhesus Monkey Brain: Subcellular Studies of Taurine, Cysteinesulfinic Acid Decarboxylase, γ-Aminobutyric Acid, and Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase

Abstract: Taurine, cysteinesulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD), glutamate, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) were measured in subcellular fractions prepared from occipital lobe of fetal and neonatal rhesus monkeys. In addition, the distribution of [³⁵S]taurine in subcellular fractions was determined after administration to the fetus via the mother, to the neonate via administration to the mother prior to birth, and directly to the neonate at various times after birth. CSAD, glutamate, GABA, and GAD all were found to be low or unmeasurable in early fetal life and to increase during late fetal and early neonatal life to reach values found in the mother. Taurine was present in large amounts in early fetal life and decreased slowly during neonatal life, arriving at amounts found in the mother not until after 150 days of age. Significant amounts of taurine, CSAD, GABA, and GAD were associated with nerve ending components with some indication that the proportion of brain taurine found in these organelles increases during development. All subcellular pools of taurine were rapidly labeled by exogenously administered [³⁵S]taurine. The subcellular distribution of all the components measured was compatible with the neurotransmitter or putative neuro-transmitter functions of glutamate, GABA, and taurine. The large amount of these three amino acids exceeds that required for such function. The excess of glutamate and GABA may be used as a source of energy. The function of the excess of taurine is still not clear, although circumstantial evidence favors an important role in the development and maturation of the CNS.     

Amino Acid Neurotransmitters in the CNS: Properties of Diaminobutyric Acid Transport

Uptake of L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DABA), a positively charged analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), by a synaptosomal fraction isolated from rat brain occurred with a Km of 54 +/- 12 microM and a Vmax of 1.3 +/- 0.2 nmol/min/mg protein. The transport of DABA was inhibited competitively by GABA whereas that of GABA was affected in the same manner by addition of DABA. The maximal accumulation of DABA ([DABA]i/[DABA]c) was observed to increase as the second power of the transmembrane electrical potential ([K+]i/[K+]e) and the first power of the sodium ion concentration gradient. These findings indicate that DABA is transported on the GABA carrier with a net charge of +2, where one charge is provided by the cotransported Na+ and the second is contributed by the amino acid itself. Since uptake of GABA, an electroneutral molecule, is accompanied by transfer of two sodium ions, the results obtained with DABA suggest that one of the sodium binding sites on the GABA transporter is in proximity to the amino acid binding site.
