Transient peaks of the cytoplasmic pH are essential elements in a number of signal cascades that activate environmental responses or developmental processes in plant cells but little is known about the mechanisms of their generation. In many plant cells, elicitation of the hypersensitive response is preceded by a perturbation of the ionic balance at the plasma membrane including the inhibition of the proton pump and the influx of H+ from the apoplast. A basically different mechanism of cytoplasmic acidification that is fed by vacuolar protons has been discovered in cell suspensions of the California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica). These cells react to a yeast glycoprotein elicitor with the overproduction of benzophenanthridine alkaloids. Low elicitor concentrations trigger the biosynthesis of these phytoalexins without invoking elements of the hypersensitive response. Accumulated data support the existence of a signal path that includes the following steps: Links between the above events that connect them within a distinct signal path are substantiated by the phenotypes of transformed cell lines that either display lowered Galpha levels due to antisense transformation or express Galpha-binding antibodies in the cytoplasm. All of these cell lines lack the elicitor-activation of PLA2 and of vacuolar proton fluxes and show an impaired phytoalexin response to low elicitor concentrations. High elicitor concentrations trigger alkaloid biosynthesis via an increase of jasmonate at a pH-independent signal path. 相似文献

Roles of jasmonate and ethylene signalling and their interaction in yeast elicitor-induced biosynthesis of a phytoalexin, beta-thujaplicin, were investigated in Cupressus lusitanica cell cultures. Yeast elicitor, methyl jasmonate, and ethylene all induce the production of beta-thujaplicin. Elicitor also stimulates the biosynthesis of jasmonate and ethylene before the induction of beta-thujaplicin accumulation. The elicitor-induced beta-thujaplicin accumulation can be partly blocked by inhibitors of jasmonate and ethylene biosynthesis or signal transduction. These results indicate that the jasmonate and ethylene signalling pathways are integral parts of the elicitor signal transduction leading to beta-thujaplicin accumulation. Methyl jasmonate treatment can induce ethylene production, whereas ethylene does not induce jasmonate biosynthesis; methyl jasmonate-induced beta-thujaplicin accumulation can be partly blocked by inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis and signalling, while blocking jasmonate biosynthesis inhibits almost all ethylene-induced beta-thujaplicin accumulation. These results indicate that the ethylene and jasmonate pathways interact in mediating beta-thujaplicin production, with the jasmonate pathway working as a main control and the ethylene pathway as a fine modulator for beta-thujaplicin accumulation. Both the ethylene and jasmonate signalling pathways can be regulated upstream by Ca(2+). Ca(2+) influx negatively regulates ethylene production, and differentially regulates elicitor- or methyl jasmonate-stimulated ethylene production. 相似文献

Effects of Methyl Jasmonate on Shikonin and Dihydroechinofuran Production in Lithospermum Cell Cultures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Methyl jasmonate, when administered to Lithospermum erythrorhizoncell suspension cultures, was found to induce the productionof shikonin derivatives (the red naph-thoquinone pigments ofthe root) and dihydroechinofuran (an abnormal metabolite ofgeranylhydroquinone). Culture experiments showed that methyljasmonate caused a rapid increase in the activities of enzymesinvolved in the biosynthesis of shikonin such as p-hydroxybenzoategeran-yltransferase, which was followed by the rapid accumulationof dihydroechinofuran and the delayed production of shikonin.The induction patterns observed were similar to those elicitedby oligogalacturonides in Lithospermum cells, suggesting thatjasmonic acid or its derivative may act as a signaling moleculein the elicitation of shikonin biosynthesis. Interestingly,however, the copper ion, which is essential for inducing shikoninbiosynthesis by oligogalacturonides, was not required for shikonininduction by methyl jasmonate

The function of a Galpha protein in the elicitation of phytoalexin (benzophenanthridine) biosynthesis was characterized in cultured cells of California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). Both the decrease of Galpha content via antisense transformation and the expression of recombinant anti-Galpha single-chain antibodies strongly impaired the induction of alkaloid biosynthesis by low elicitor concentrations. All transgenic cell types were deficient in two elicitor-triggered early signal events: activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and efflux of vacuolar protons. The lacking H+ efflux could be restored (1) by adding lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a product of PLA2 activity, to vacuoles in situ and (2) by exposing intact cells to isotonic, near-neutral HEPES buffers. The latter treatment induced alkaloid biosynthesis in the absence of elicitor and in Galpha-deficient cells. We conclude that Galpha mediates the stimulation of PLA2 by low elicitor concentrations and that the resulting peak of LPC initiates a transient efflux of vacuolar protons. In this way, an acidic peak of the cytoplasmic pH is generated that causes the expression of enzymes of phytoalexin production independent of the hypersensitive response. 相似文献

The effects of methyl jasmonate and jasmonic acid on uptake of abscisic acid (ABA) by suspension-cultured runner-bean cells and subapical runner-bean root segments have been investigated. Increasing concentrations of methyl jasmonate inhibit ABA uptake by the cultured cells with a K
i of 22±3 M. This is not due to cytoplasmic acidification or to effects on metabolism of ABA, and is not additive with inhibition of radioactive ABA uptake by nonradioactive ABA. Uptake of indol-3-yl acetic acid (IAA) is unaffected by methyl jasmonate. The maximum effect of nonradioactive ABA in inhibiting uptake of radioactive ABA, previously shown to reflect saturation of an ABA carrier, is generally greater than the effect of maximally inhibitory concentrations of methyl jasmonate. Similar results were obtained with root segments, but longer incubation times were necessary to observe inhibitory effects of methyl jasmonate. Demethylation of methyl jasmonate to jasmonic acid does not appear to be required since similar concentrations of jasmonic acid had no observable direct effect on ABA uptake other than that attributable to cytoplasmic acidification. Histidine reagents, a proton ionophore and acidic external pH all affect in parallel the inhibition by methyl jasmonate and nonradioactive ABA of uptake of radioactive ABA by the cultured cells. There is no effect of ABA or nonradioactive methyl jasmonate on uptake of radioactive methyl jasmonate by the cultured cells. It is proposed that methyl jasmonate interacts with the ABA carrier. Various models for this interaction are discussed.Abbreviations ABA

Antisense RNA-mediated suppression of benzophenanthridine alkaloid biosynthesis in transgenic cell cultures of California poppy 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
California poppy (Eschscholzia californica Cham.) cell cultures produce several benzophenanthridine alkaloids, such as sanguinarine, chelirubine, and macarpine, with potent pharmacological activity. Antisense constructs of genes encoding two enzymes involved in benzophenanthridine alkaloid biosynthesis, the berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) and N-methylcoclaurine 3'-hydroxylase (CYP80B1), were introduced separately into California poppy cell cultures. Transformed cell lines expressing antisense BBE or antisense CYP80B1 constructs and displaying low levels of BBE or CYP80B1 mRNAs, respectively, showed reduced accumulation of benzophenanthridine alkaloids compared with control cultures transformed with a beta-glucuronidase gene. Pathway intermediates were not detected in any of the transformed cell lines. The suppression of benzophenanthridine alkaloid biosynthesis using BBE or CYP80B1 antisense RNA constructs also reduced the growth rate of the cultures. Two-dimensional (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance and in vivo (15)N-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed no difference in the abundance of carbohydrate metabolites in the various transgenic cell lines. However, transformed cells with reduced benzophenanthridine alkaloid levels contained larger cellular pools of several amino acids including alanine, leucine, phenylalanine, threonine, and valine compared with controls. The relative abundance of tyrosine, from which benzophenanthridine alkaloids are derived, was less than 2-fold higher in antisense-suppressed cells relative to controls. These results show that alterations in the metabolic flux through benzophenanthridine alkaloid biosynthesis can affect the regulation of amino acid pools. These data provide new insight into the metabolic engineering of benzophenanthridine alkaloid pathways. 相似文献

Betacyanin production in suspension-cultured cells of Portulaca was significantly enhanced by both abiotic and biotic elicitors. Betacyanin levels increased 1.3 and 1.5-fold over the controls in the presence of two abiotic elicitors (20 mumol/L CuSO4 and 100 mumol/L FeEDTA) and increased 1.8 and 1.6-fold in the presence of two biotic elicitors (0.5 mg/L beta-glucan and 0.5 mg/L chitosan). Maximum betacyanin synthesis with the two most effective elicitors was obtained when cultures were treated on day 1 and day 0 by beta-glucan and FeEDTA, respectively. A concentration-dependent response was exhibited by cultures treated with exogenous methyl jasmonate (MJ). MJ alone at 0.1 mumol/L caused a 2.6-fold increase in betacyanin synthesis when administered to the suspension culture on day 3. However, no additive effect on betacyanin accumulation was observed in treatments, which combined MJ and beta-glucan or FeEDTA. Treatment with ibuprofen (IB), an inhibitor of jasmonate biosynthesis, reduced the level of betacyanin in cells cultured in standard medium at all concentrations tested (25, 50, 100 mumol/L). The effect of IB on betacyanin synthesis in the cells treated with MJ or beta-glucan, however, differed with the IB concentration applied. The two higher concentrations (50 and 100 mumol/L) of IB significantly reduced the betacyanin content while the lower concentration (25 mumol/L) did not show an adverse effect on the betacyanin enhancement triggered by MJ or beta-glucan. Our findings suggest that, in suspension-cultured cells of Portulaca, an MJ-mediated signal transduction pathway prominently exists in betacyanin synthesis. This pathway seems to act antagonistically towards beta-glucan-mediated signaling. As far as we know this is the first report on the elevation of betacyanin level by jasmonate or other elicitors in cell suspension cultures. 相似文献

Jasmonate-dependent induction of indole glucosinolates in Arabidopsis by culture filtrates of the nonspecific pathogen Erwinia carotovora 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Elicitors from the plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora trigger coordinate induction of the tryptophan (Trp) biosynthesis pathway and Trp oxidizing genes in Arabidopsis. To elucidate the biological role of such pathogen-induced activation we characterized the production of secondary defense metabolites such as camalexin and indole glucosinolates derived from precursors of this pathway. Elicitor induction was followed by a specific increase in 3-indolylmethylglucosinolate (IGS) content, but only a barely detectable accumulation of the indole-derived phytoalexin camalexin. The response is mediated by jasmonic acid as shown by lack of IGS induction in the jasmonate-insensitive mutant coi1-1. In accordance with this, methyl jasmonate was able to trigger IGS accumulation in Arabidopsis. In contrast, ethylene and salicylic acid seem to play a minor role in the response. They did not trigger alterations in IGS levels, and methyl jasmonate- or elicitor-induced IGS accumulation in NahG and ethylene-insensitive ein2-1 mutant plants was similar as in the wild type. The breakdown products of IGS and other glucosinolates were able to inhibit growth of E. carotovora. The results suggest that IGS is of importance in the defense against bacterial pathogens. 相似文献

Novel chemically synthesized hydroxyl-containing jasmonates as powerful inducing signals for plant secondary metabolism 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Novel hydroxyl-containing jasmonate derivatives were chemically synthesized and evaluated by bioassay as potential elicitors for stimulating the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites. A suspension culture of Taxus chinensis, which produces a bioactive taxoid, taxuyunnanine C (Tc), was taken as a model plant cell system. Experiments on the timing of addition of jasmonates and dose response indicated that day 7 and 100 microM was the optimal elicitation time and concentration, respectively, for both cell growth and Tc accumulation. Tc accumulation was increased more in the presence of novel hydroxyl-containing jasmonates compared to that with methyljasmonate (MJA) addition. For example, addition of 100 microM 2,3-dihydroxypropyl jasmonate on day 7 led to a very high Tc content of 47.2 +/- 0.5 mg/g (at day 21), whereas the Tc content was 29.2 +/- 0.6 mg/g (on the same day) with addition of 100 microM MJA. Quantitative structure-activity analysis of various jasmonates suggests that the optimal lipophilicity and the number of hydroxyl groups may be two important factors affecting their elicitation activity. In addition, the jasmonate elicitors were found to induce plant defense responses, including oxidative burst and activation of L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). Interestingly, a higher level of H(2)O(2) production and PAL activity was detected with elicitation by the synthesized jasmonates compared with that by MJA, which corresponded well to the superior stimulating activity in the former. This work indicates that the newly synthesized hydroxyl-containing jasmonates can act as powerful inducing signals for secondary metabolite biosynthesis in plant cell cultures. 相似文献

This report describes a series of experiments designed to determine if terpene biosynthesis is inducible in two families of marine terpenes, pseudopterosins from the gorgonian coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and fuscol from Eunicea fusca. Since we have recently shown that terpene biosynthesis is not under the control of the invertebrate host, but rather occurs within a dinoflagellate preparation, we examined the terpene content of the dinoflagellate symbiont following a decrease in UV/vis radiation as well as in response to the addition of methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid and gibberellic acid. We demonstrated that pseudopterosin and fuscol biosynthesis can be markedly increased through the addition of the plant bioactive substances. We also demonstrated that, while the terpene content of P. elisabethae increases in response to decreased UV/vis light, this is due primarily to an increase in the concentration of the dinoflagellate rather than simply an induction of terpene biosynthesis. 相似文献

The joint use of cyclodextrins and methyljasmonate, when accompanied by a short exposure to UV, enhanced extracellular ajmalicine accumulation to 1040 ± 26.6 mg/l in suspension cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus. The success of this strategy is due to the use of cyclodextrins, which not only induce ajmalicine biosynthesis but also promote adduct formation. This removes ajmalicine from the medium, reduces feedback inhibition and ajmalicine degradation, and allows its accumulation in the culture medium at elevated concentrations. 相似文献

Cold is a major stressor, which limits plant growth and development in many parts of the world, especially in the temperate climate zones. A large number of experimental studies has demonstrated that not only acclimation and entrainment but also the experience of single short stress events of various abiotic or biotic kinds (priming stress) can improve the tolerance of plants to chilling temperatures. This process, called priming, depends on a stress “memory”. It does not change cold sensitivity per se but beneficially modifies the response to cold and can last for days, months, or even longer. Elicitor factors and antagonists accumulate due to increased biosynthesis or decreased degradation either during or after the priming stimulus. Comparison of priming studies investigating improved tolerance to chilling temperatures highlighted key regulatory functions of ROS/RNS and antioxidant enzymes, plant hormones, especially jasmonates, salicylates, and abscisic acid, and signalling metabolites, such as β‐ and γ‐aminobutyric acid (BABA and GABA) and melatonin. We conclude that these elicitors and antagonists modify local and systemic cold tolerance by integration into cold‐induced signalling cascades. 相似文献

Antigen-induced Ca2+ signaling and desensitization in B cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Cross-linking of B cell surface Ig (sIg) by anti-Ig results in transmembrane signaling. However, the capacity of a thymus-dependent (TD) Ag to mediate B cell signal transduction has been less well documented. Therefore, we examined Ag-induced intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]) in B cells by using TD Ag that would be expected to either cross-link or not cross-link sIgM and/or induce the coupling of sIgM to FcR. Stimulation of mouse TA3 hybridoma B cell transfectants that express the SP6 anti-TNP specific sIgM with either TNP-OVA or anti-IgM antibodies resulted in a maximal fourfold increase in [Ca2+]i. The net increase in [Ca2+]i in response to TNP-OVA was dependent upon both the Ag dose and the TNP:OVA molar ratio. Because occupancy of several cell-surface receptor types leads to a loss of response to subsequent stimulation by ligand (homologous desensitization), we examined the ability of Ag to induce homologous desensitization of sIgM in these B cells. TNP1-OVA at all concentrations tested (up to 500 micrograms/ml) did not lead to any change in [Ca2+]i or desensitization. Cross-linking of TNP1-OVA (10 micrograms/ml) with F(ab')2 of anti-OVA antibody induced both a rise in [Ca2+]i and homologous desensitization of sIg, suggesting that cross-linking of sIgM by Ag is sufficient to induce both these processes. TNP6-OVA at a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml induced changes in [Ca2+]i and partially desensitized TNP-specific B cells to stimulation by anti-IgM. Interestingly, a high dose (180 micrograms/ml) of TNP6-OVA stimulated minimal changes in [Ca2+]i yet did not lead to desensitization. However, cross-linking of TNP6-OVA at this high dose with F(ab')2 of rabbit anti-OVA elevated [Ca2+]i and elicited partial desensitization. Complete desensitization of sIgM by Ag was achieved when intact (Fc-containing) anti-OVA antibody was used, suggesting that the FcR can play a role in desensitization. Ag- and antibody-mediated desensitization was not caused by steric hindrance of sIg. Thus, we have observed two forms of Ag-induced desensitization of sIgM, both of which involve sIg cross-linking and one of which is mediated by the physiologic coupling of sIg to FcR. 相似文献

Human secretin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor that is functionally linked to the cAMP second messenger system by stimulation of adenylate cyclase. To functionally characterize the receptor and evaluate its signal transduction pathway, the full-length human secretin receptor cDNA was subcloned into the mammalian expression vector pRc/CMV and expressed in cultured CHO cells. Intracellular cAMP accumulation of the stably transfected cells was measured by a radioimmunoassay (RIA), while the extracellular acidification rate was measured by the Cytosensor microphysiometer. Human secretin and biotinylated human secretin were equipotent in both assays in a dose-dependent manner. The EC50 values of stimulating the intracellular cAMP accumulation and the extracellular acidification rate were 0.2-0.5 nM and 0.1 nM, respectively, indicating that microphysiometry is more sensitive than the cAMP assay in monitoring ligand stimulation of the human secretin receptor. The secretin-stimulated response could be mimicked by forskolin and augmented by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, indicating that the extracellular acidification response is positively correlated with intracellular cAMP level. The response could be abolished by the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89, suggesting that protein kinase A plays an essential role in the intracellular signaling of the receptor. Upon repeated stimulation by the ligand, the peak acidification responses did not change significantly at both physiological (0.03 nM and 3 nM) and pharmacological (0.3 microM) concentrations of human secretin, suggesting that the human secretin receptor did not exhibit robust homologous desensitization. 相似文献

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), acting via the GnRH receptor, elicited rapid extracellular acidification responses in mouse gonadotrope-derived alphaT3-1 cells as measured by the Cytosensor microphysiometer, which indirectly monitors cellular metabolic rates. GnRH increased the extracellular acidification rate of the cells in a dose-dependent manner (EC(50) = 1.81 +/- 0.24 nM). The GnRH-stimulated acidification rate could be attenuated by protein kinase C (PKC) down-regulation, extracellular Ca2+ depletion, and the voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel (VSCC) blocker nifedipine, indicating that the acidification response is activated by both Ca2+ and PKC-mediated pathways. Upon continuous exposure to 100 nM GnRH or periodic stimulation by 10 nM GnRH at 40 min intervals, homologous desensitization was more pronounced in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, suggesting that desensitization of GnRH activity may be mediated via depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. We have also compared the potency of eight GnRH analogs on alphaT3-1 cells. No acidification response was detected for GnRH free acid, consistent with the idea that the C-terminal amide is a critical structural determinant for GnRH activity. Replacement of Gly-NH(2) at the C-terminus by N-ethylamide dramatically reduced the EC(50) value, suggesting that substitution of the Gly-NH(2) moiety by N-ethylamide increases the potency of GnRH analogs. Substitution of Gly at position 6 by D-Trp significantly reduced the EC(50) value, whereas D-Lys at the same position slightly increased the EC(50) value, implying that either an aromatic amino acid or a non-basic amino acid at position 6 may be essential for potent GnRH agonists. In summary, our results demonstrate that the Cytosensor microphysiometer can be used to evaluate the actions of GnRH and GnRH analogs in alphaT3-1 cells in a real-time and noninvasive manner. This silicon-based microphysiometric system should provide new information on the structure-function studies of GnRH and is an invaluable tool for the screening of new GnRH agonists and antagonists in the future. 相似文献

The molecular mechanisms involved in GPCR-initiated signaling cascades where the two receptors share the same signaling cascade, such as thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and angiotensin II (ANG II), are still far from being understood. Here, we analyzed hormone-induced Ca(2+) responses and the process of desensitization in HEK-293 cells, which express endogenous ANG II receptors. These cells were transfected to express exogenously high levels of TRH receptors (clone E2) or both TRH receptors and G(11)alpha protein (clone E2M11). We observed that the characteristics of the Ca(2+) response, as well as the process of desensitization, were both strongly dependent on receptor number and G(11)alpha protein level. Whereas treatment of E2 cells with TRH or ANG II led to significant desensitization of the Ca(2+) response to subsequent addition of either hormone, the response was not desensitized in E2M11 cells expressing high levels of G(11)alpha. In addition, stimulation of both cell lines with THR elicited a clear heterologous desensitization to subsequent stimulation with ANG II. On the other hand, ANG II did not affect a subsequent response to TRH. ANG II-mediated signal transduction was strongly dependent on plasma membrane integrity modified by cholesterol depletion, but signaling through TRH receptors was altered only slightly under these conditions. It may be concluded that the level of expression of G-protein-coupled receptors and their cognate G-proteins strongly influences not only the magnitude of the Ca(2+) response but also the process of desensitization and resistance to subsequent hormone addition. 相似文献

Previous studies of secretion from basophils have demonstrated the phenomenon called nonspecific desensitization, the ability of one IgE-mediated stimulus to alter the cell's response to other non-cross-reacting IgE-mediated stimuli, and a process that would modify phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-phosphate levels was speculated to be responsible for nonspecific desensitization. The current studies examined the changes and characteristics of SHIP1 phosphorylation as a measure of SHIP1 participation in the reaction. Based on the earlier studies, two predictions were made that were not observed. First, the kinetics of SHIP1 phosphorylation were similar to reaction kinetics of other early signals and returned to resting levels while nonspecific desensitization remained. Second, in contrast to an expected exaggerated SHIP phosphorylation, cells in a state of nonspecific desensitization showed reduced SHIP phosphorylation (compared with cells not previously exposed to a non-cross-reacting Ag). Discordant with expectations concerning partial recovery from nonspecific desensitization, treatment of cells with DNP-lysine to dissociate bound DNP-HSA, either enhanced or had no effect on SHIP phosphorylation following a second Ag. These experiments also showed a form of desensitization that persisted despite dissociation of the desensitizing Ag. Recent studies and the results of these studies suggest that loss of early signaling components like syk kinase may account for some of the effects of nonspecific desensitization and result in a form of immunological memory of prior stimulation. Taken together, the various characteristics of SHIP phosphorylation were not consistent with expectations for a signaling element involved in nonspecific desensitization, but instead one which itself undergoes nonspecific desensitization. 相似文献
