Glyoxysomes were isolated from germinating castor bean endosperm by equilibrium density gradient centrifugation in a vertical rotor. To recover the membranes, glyoxysome ghosts were prepared by osmotic shock and then subjected to differential centrifugation. The glyoxysomal membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), isolated by the same methods, were assayed for electron transport components. Both organelles contained NADH ferricyanide reductase, NADH cytochrome c reductase, and cytochromes b5 and P-420. The ER also contained cytochrome P-450. Pyridine hemochrome derivatives of the organelle membranes and hemin produced coincident difference spectra, indicating that only b-type cytochromes are present in glyoxysomal and ER membranes. The maximal activities of ferricyanide reductase and cytochrome c reductase in glyoxysomes, 2.19 and 0.33 μmol min?1 mg membrane protein?1, respectively, represent 30 and 18% of the activities in the ER. The cytochrome b5 content of the glyoxysomal membrane is 0.108 nmol mg?1, 31% of the level found in ER. The reductases from both organelles were resistant to solubilization by salt (0.2 m KCl) and were easily solubilized by detergent (1% Triton X-100). Flavin analysis of the organelles from germinating castor beam endosperm confirmed spectral evidence that the flavin content of glyoxysomes is quite high, 100 pmol mg protein?1, more than twice that of mitochondria. Three-quarters of the glyoxysomal flavin was solubilized by KCl, but even after salt treatment the glyoxysomal membrane flavin content, 98 pmol mg membrane protein?1, is three times greater than that of the ER.  相似文献

Redox activities, NADH:ferricyanide reductase, NAD(P)H:cytochrome reductases, and NADH:ascorbate free-radical reductase, are present in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and glyoxysomal membranes from the endosperm of germinating castor bean (Ricinus comminus L. var Hale). The development of these functions was followed in glyoxysomes and ER isolated on sucrose gradients from castor bean endosperm daily from 0 through 6 days of germination. On a per seed basis, glyoxysomal and ER protein, glyoxysomal and ER membrane redox enzyme activities, and glyoxylate cycle activities peaked at day 4 as did the ER membrane content of cytochrome P-450. NADH:ferricyanide reductase was present in glyoxysomes and ER isolated from dry seed. This activity increased only about twofold in glyoxysomes and threefold in ER during germination relative to the amount of protein in the respective fractions. The other reductases, NADH:cytochrome reductase and NADH:ascorbate free-radical reductase, increased about 10-fold in the ER relative to protein up to 4 to 5 days, then declined. NADPH:cytochrome reductase reached maximum activity relative to protein at day 2 in both organelles. The increases in redox activities during germination indicate that the membranes of the ER and glyoxysome are being enriched with redox proteins during their development. The development of redox functions in glyoxysomes was found to be coordinated with development of the glyoxylate cycle.  相似文献

Ascorbate free-radical reduction by glyoxysomal membranes   总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3       下载免费PDF全文
Glyoxysomal membranes from germinating castor bean (Ricinus communis L. cv Hale) endosperm contain an NADH dehydrogenase. This enzyme can utilize extraorganellar ascorbate free-radical as a substrate and can oxidize NADH at a rate which can support intraglyoxysomal demand for NAD+. NADH:ascorbate free-radical reductase was found to be membrane-associated, and the activity remained in the membrane fraction after lysis of glyoxysomes by osmotic shock, followed by pelleting of the membranes. In whole glyoxysomes, NADH:ascorbate free-radical reductase, like NADH:ferricyanide reductase and unlike NADH:cytochrome c reductase, was insensitive to trypsin and was not inactivated by Triton X-100 detergent. These results suggest that ascorbate free-radical is reduced by the same component which reduces ferricyanide in the glyoxysomal membrane redox system. NADH:ascorbate free-radical reductase comigrated with NADH:ferricyanide and cytochrome c reductases when glyoxy-somal membranes were solubilized with detergent and subjected to rate-zonal centrifugation. The results suggest that ascorbate free-radical, when reduced to ascorbate by membrane redox system, could serve as a link between glyoxysomal metabolism and other cellular activities.  相似文献

Membranes purified from castor bean endosperm glyoxysomes by washing with sodium carbonate exhibited integral NADH:ferricyanide and NADH:cytochrome c reductase activities. The enzyme activities could not be attributed to contamination by other endomembranes. Purified endoplasmic reticulum membranes also contained the redox activities; and marker enzyme analysis indicated minimum cross contamination between glyoxysomal and endoplasmic reticulum fractions. The glyoxysomal redox activities were optimally solubilized at detergent to protein ratios (weight to weight) of 10 (Triton X-100), 50 (3-[3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate), and 100 (octylglucoside). Detergent in excess of the solubilization optimum was stimulatory to NADH:ferricyanide reductase and inhibitory to NADH:cytochrome c reductase. Endoplasmic reticulum redox activity solubilization profiles were similar to those obtained for glyoxysomal enzymes using Triton X-100. Purification of the glyoxysomal and endoplasmic reticulum NADH:ferricyanide reductases was accomplished using dye-ligand affinity chromatography on Cibacron blue 3GA agarose. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of NADH:ferricyanide reductase preparations purified by rate-zonal density gradient centrifugation, affinity chromatography, and nondenaturing electrophoresis of detergent-solubilized glyoxysomal and endoplasmic reticulum membranes consistently displayed 32- and 33-kDa silver-stained polypeptide bands, respectively.  相似文献

Seedlings of castor bean (Ricinus communis cv. Hale) were exposed to a range of concentrations of gibberellin A3 (GA3). Treatments for 20 hours with GA3 concentrations of 0.5 μM or higher resulted in increased levels of NADH-cytochrome c reductase, phosphorylcholine glyceride transferase, and malate synthase in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) isolated from endosperm on linear sucrose gradients. GA3 treatment also resulted in increased RNA associated with ER. Malate synthase and catalase in crude homogenates were enhanced by 1 to 100 μM GA3 concentrations. Isocitrate lyase, citrate synthase, malate synthase, catalase, and glycolate oxidase in isolated glyoxysomes were enhanced by 60, 20, 18, 40, and 28%, respectively, over controls. Treatment with abscisic acid led to decreased levels of glyoxysomal enzymes and reduced glyoxysomal protein. The effect of GA3 and abscisic acid on the specific activities of glyoxysomes of different densities suggests that GA3 influences enzyme levels and glyoxysome assembly.  相似文献

The localization of catalase in isolated maize scutellum glyoxysomes was investigated by means of the diaminobenzidine histochemical reaction. Only the membranes of the glyoxysomes become heavily stained after incubation with diaminobenzidine and H2O2. If the glyoxysomes are lysed with Tricine buffer at pH 9, 70% of the catalase is solubilized, while the remaining 30% is tightly bound to an insoluble fraction formed mostly by glyoxysomal membranes. This suggests that catalase may be present also in the matrix of the glyoxysomes. The lack of staining of the matrix with diaminobenzidine is probably due to the high concentration of catalase in the membranes of the organelles.  相似文献

To investigate the roles of peroxisomal membrane proteins in the reversible conversion of glyoxysomes to leaf peroxisomes, we characterized several membrane proteins of glyoxysomes. One of them was identified as an ascorbate peroxidase (pAPX) that is localized on glyoxysomal membranes. Its cDNA was isolated by immunoscreening. The deduced amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert does not have a peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS), suggesting that pAPX is imported by one or more PTS-independent pathways. Subcellular fractionation of 3- and 5-d-old cotyledons of pumpkin revealed that pAPX was localized not only in the glyoxysomal fraction, but also in the ER fraction. A magnesium shift experiment showed that the density of pAPX in the ER fraction did not increase in the presence of Mg(2+), indicating that pAPX is not localized in the rough ER. Immunocytochemical analysis using a transgenic Arabidopsis which expressed pumpkin pAPX showed that pAPX was localized on peroxisomal membranes, and also on a unknown membranous structure in green cotyledons. The overall results suggested that pAPX is transported to glyoxysomal membranes via this unknown membranous structure.  相似文献

Total polyadenylated RNA from ripening or germinating Ricinus communis L. endosperm was translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysate in the absence or presence of canine pancreatic microsomes. The products were immunoprecipitated using antibodies raised againts Triton X-114-extracted integral membrane proteins of protein bodies or glyoxysomes. While the proteins of proteinbody membranes were found to insert co-translationally into added microsomes, this was not observed in the case of glyoxysomal proteins. This observation was confirmed using antibodies raised against a purified glyoxysome membrane protein, alkaline lipase. These results indicate that different routes exist for the insertion of membrane proteins into the two organelles. In both cases membrane-protein insertion does not appear to be accompanied by proteolytic processing.Abbreviations anti-PB antiserum to integral protein-body membrane proteins - anti-G antiserum to integral glyoxysomal membrane proteins - anti-L antiserum to alkaline lipase - ER endoplasmic reticulum - Mr relative molecular mass - mRNA poly(A)-rich messenger RNA - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - poly(A) polyadenylic acid - SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate  相似文献

Microsomal fractions, glyoxysomes and mitochondria were isolated from homogenates of germinating castor-bean (Ricinus communis) endosperm by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. Washed membrane preparations from these cellular fractions were examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. At corresponding developmental stages the endoplasmic-reticulum and glyoxysomal membranes were strikingly similar in polypeptide composition, at least 16 polypeptides being present in membranes isolated from 3-day-old tissue. Supplying [35S]methionine to intact endosperm tissue resulted in the labelling of all membrane polypeptides, the specific radioactivity in the endoplasmic reticulum being greater than for equivalent polypeptides of the glyoxysomal membrane. Washing these membranes with sodium deoxycholate solution extensively solubilized protein components, with the exception of a predominant polypeptide of mol.wt. 55000. Mitochondrial membrane preparations differed from those of the endoplasmic reticulum and glyoxysomes in polypeptide molecular-weight distribution and the [35S]methionine-labelling pattern. The similarity in polypeptide composition between endoplasmic-reticulum and glyoxysomal membranes is discussed in relation to glyoxysome biogenesis.  相似文献

The development of glyoxysomal marker enzyme activities and concomitant ultrastructural evidence for the ontogeny of glyoxysomes has been studied in cotyledons of dark-grown watermelon seedlings (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad., var. Florida Giant). Catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) was stained in glyoxysomal structures with the 3,3-diaminobenzidine procedure. Serial sections and high-voltage electron microscopy were used to analyze the three-dimensional structure of the glyoxysomal population. With early germination CAT was localized in three distinct cell structures: spherical microbodies already present in freshly imbibed cotyledons; in appendices on lipid bodies; and in small membrane vesicles between the lipid bodies. Due to their ribosome-binding capacity, both appendices and small vesicles were identified as derivatives of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In the following period, glyoxysome formation and lipid body degradation were found to be inseparable processes. The small CAT-containing vesicles attach to a lipid body on a restricted area. Both lipid body appendices and attached cisternae enlarge around and between tightly packed lipid bodies and eventually become pleomorphic glyoxysomes with lipid bodies entrapped into cavities. The close contact between lipid body and glyoxysomes is maintained until the lipid body is digested and the glyoxysomal cavity becomes filled with cytoplasm. During the entire period of increase in glyoxysomal enzyme activities, no evidence was obtained for destruction of glyoxysomes, but small CAT-containing vesicles were observed from day 2 through day 6 after imbibition, indicating a continuous de novo formation of glyoxysomes. This study does not substantiate the hypothesis that glyoxysomes bud directly from the ER. Rather, ER-derivatives, e.g., lipid body appendices or cisternae attached to lipid bodies are interpreted as being glyoxysomal precursors that grow in close contact with lipid bodies both in volume and surface membrane area.Abbreviations CAT catalase - DAB 3,3 diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride - ER endoplasmic reticulum - GOX glycolate oxidase - HPR hydroxypyruvate reductase - HVEM high-voltage electron microscopy - ICL isocitrate lyase - MS malate synthase - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum In the figures bars represent 0.1 m (if not stated otherwise)  相似文献

Glyoxysomes isolated from the endosperm of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation were fractionated into their matrix protein and membrane components. Antisera were raised in rabbits against both the matrix proteins and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-solubilized membrane proteins. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis established that such antisera precipitate all major polypeptide components present in their respective glyoxysomal mixedantigen preparations. Furthermore, when soluble constituents recovered from the microsomal vesicles or solubilized microsomal membranes were challenged with the appropriate glyoxysomal antiserum, serological determinants were again found to be present. Intact endosperm tissue was incubated with [35S]methionine and the kinetics of 35S-incorporation into protein recovered in immunoprecipitates when the glyoxysomal matrix fraction or the soluble fraction released from the microsomes were incubated with anti-glyoxysomal matrix serum were followed. [35S]antigens rapidly appeared in the microsomal fraction whereas a lag period preceded their appearance in glyoxysomes. Interupting such kinetic experiments by the addition of an excess of unlabelled methionine resulted in a rapid decrease in the microsomal content of [35S]antigens and a concomitant increase in glyoxysomal content.Abbreviations SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - ER endoplasmic reticulum  相似文献

Excised castor bean endosperm halves incubated with CDP-[Me-14C]cholineactively incorporated this compound into membrane phosphatidylcholine.The capacity of the tissue to synthesize phosphatidyl-[14C]cholineincreased during the first 3 d of germination and subsequentlydeclined. At the onset of germination phosphatidyl-[l4C]cholinewas exclusively recovered in the ER membrane fraction. The rateof incorporation into the ER membranes increased strikinglyduring the first 24 h of germination while that into mitochondriaand glyoxysomes remained low. At later developmental stagesan increasing proportion of the newly synthesized phosphatidyl-[14C]cholinewas present in mitochondria and glyoxysomes; the rate of incorporationinto the membranes of these organelles increased while thatinto the ER membrane began to level off. The kinetics of CDP-[14C]cholineincorporation into membrane phosphatidylcholine of the majororganelle fractions of 3-d-old endosperm tissue showed thatthe ER was immediately labelled, whereas a lag period precededthe labelling of mitochondria and glyoxysomes. Assuming that the incorporation of CDP-[14C]choline into phosphatidylcholineserves as a reliable indicator of membrane synthesis, the resultsobtained suggest that a proliferation of ER membranes precedesthe formation of glyoxysomes and mitochondria in germinatingcastor bean endosperm. A comparison of developmental changesin (a) total ER and glyoxysomal phospholipid content and (b)ER and mitochondrial NADH cytochrome c reductase activity providedadditional evidence supporting this conclusion.  相似文献

Sucrose density gradient centrifugation was employed to separate microsomes, mitochondria, and glyoxysomes from homogenates prepared from castor bean (Ricinus communis) endosperm. In the case of tissue removed from young seedlings, a significant proportion of the characteristic glyoxysomal enzyme malate synthase was recovered in the microsomal fraction. Malate synthase was purified from both isolated microsomes and glyoxysomes by a procedure involving osmotic shock, KCI solubilization, and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. All physical and catalytic properties examined were identical for the enzyme isolated from both organelle fractions. These properties include a molecular weight of 575,000, with a single subunit type of molecular weight 64,000, a pH optimum of 8, apparent Km for acetyl-CoA of 10 μm and glyoxylate of 2 mm. Microsomal and glyoxysomal malate synthases showed identical responses to various inhibitors. Adenine nucleotides were competitive inhibitors with respect to acetyl-CoA, and oxalate (Ki 110 μm) and glycolate (Ki 150 μm) were competitive inhibitors with respect to glyoxylate. Antiserum raised in rabbits against purified glyoxysomal malate synthase was used to confirm serological identity between the microsomal and glyoxysomal enzymes, and was capable of specifically precipitating 35S-labeled malate synthase from KCI extracts of both microsomes and glyoxysomes isolated from [35S]methionine-labeled endosperm tissue.  相似文献

Phospholipase A2 (Naja naja), the nonpenetrating dye trinitrobenzene sulfonate, and the penetrating dye dinitrofluorobenzene, were used to determine the transmembrane distributions of phospholipids of mitochondria and glyoxysomes isolated from endosperm tissue of castor bean (Ricinus communis L. var. Hale). These studies indicated that the phospholipid distributions were distinctly asymmetric in the accessible (reacted with the probes without total membrane disruption by detergents) pools of the glyoxysomal and inner mitochondrial membranes, but more nearly symmetric in the outer mitochondrial membrane. However, significant quantities of the phospholipids of the mitochondrial membranes were inaccessible to the probes used. An increased accessibility of the phospholipids of all membranes following Triton X-100 dispersion was found, and protein to phospholipid ratios in organelle membranes were found to correlate inversely with the accessibility of the phospholipids to the probes. The inaccessible phospholipids may be involved in lipid-protein interactions.  相似文献

Characterization of glyoxysomes from castor bean endosperm   总被引:37,自引:27,他引:10       下载免费PDF全文
Electron micrographs are presented which establish the identity of the components of the 3 major bands observed after sucrose density centrifugation of the crude particulate fraction from the endosperm of germinating castor bean seedlings. These are: mitochondria (density 1.19 g/cc), proplastids (density 1.23 g/cc) and glyoxysomes (density 1.25 g/cc). Further evidence is provided on the enzymatic composition of the glyoxysomes. Essentially all of the particulate malate synthetase, isocitrate lyase, catalase, and glycolic oxidase is present in these organelles. The distribution of glyoxysomal enzymes on sucrose density gradients is contrasted with that of the strictly mitochondrial enzymes fumarase, NADH oxidase, and succinoxidase. Malate dehydrogenase and citrate synthetase are present in both organelles. The functional role of glyoxysomes and their relationship to cytosomes from other tissues is discussed.  相似文献

LOCALIZATION OF ENZYMES WITHIN MICROBODIES   总被引:32,自引:1,他引:31       下载免费PDF全文
Microbodies from rat liver and a variety of plant tissues were osmotically shocked and subsequently centrifuged at 40,000 g for 30 min to yield supernatant and pellet fractions. From rat liver microbodies, all of the uricase activity but little glycolate oxidase or catalase activity were recovered in the pellet, which probably contained the crystalline cores as many other reports had shown. All the measured enzymes in spinach leaf microbodies were solubilized. With microbodies from potato tuber, further sucrose gradient centrifugation of the pellet yielded a fraction at density 1.28 g/cm3 which, presumably representing the crystalline cores, contained 7% of the total catalase activity but no uricase or glycolate oxidase activity. Using microbodies from castor bean endosperm (glyoxysomes), 50–60% of the malate dehydrogenase, fatty acyl CoA dehydrogenase, and crotonase and 90% of the malate synthetase and citrate synthetase were recovered in the pellet, which also contained 96% of the radioactivity when lecithin in the glyoxysomal membrane had been labeled by previous treatment of the tissue with [14C]choline. When the labeled pellet was centrifuged to equilibrium on a sucrose gradient, all the radioactivity, protein, and enzyme activities were recovered together at peak density 1.21–1.22 g/cm3, whereas the original glyoxysomes appeared at density 1.24 g/cm3. Electron microscopy showed that the fraction at 1.21–1.22 g/cm3 was comprised of intact glyoxysomal membranes. All of the membrane-bound enzymes were stripped off with 0.15 M KCl, leaving the "ghosts" still intact as revealed by electron microscopy and sucrose gradient centrifugation. It is concluded that the crystalline cores of plant microbodies contain no uricase and are not particularly enriched with catalase. Some of the enzymes in glyoxysomes are associated with the membranes and this probably has functional significance.  相似文献

Monospecific antibodies to glyoxysomal, mitochondrial, and cytosolic I malate dehydrogenase were used for the fluorescence immunohistochemical localization of these isoenzymes in dark-grown watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons. It was demonstrated that, with cell organelles isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, antibodies to glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase were specific markers for glyoxysomes, and similarly, antibodies to mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase were markers for mitochondria. The time course of the glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase appearance and decline was not synchronous for the individual tissues and differed completely from that of the mitochondria. The cytosolic malate dehydrogenase I was confined to restricted regions of the lower epidermis. The activity which was definitively localized outside the cell organelles decreased during the first days of germination.  相似文献

Subfractionation of clarified cotyledon homogenates of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings on sucrose gradients revealed a single coincident peak of cholinephosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.2) (CPT) and ethanolaminephosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.1) (EPT) activities, which equilibrated with the main peak of Antimycin A-insensitive NADH:cytochrome c reductase (CCR) activity. The small percentage of CPT and EPT activities (less than 5% of the total) in glyoxysome-enriched pellets equilibrated with cytochrome c oxidase activity, not with catalase activity. Preincubation of microsomes (containing 83% of total CPT and EPT activities) in 0.2 millimolar MgCl2 followed by subfractionation on sucrose gradients resulted in peak CPT and EPT activities equilibrating with peak CCR activity at 24% (w/w) sucrose. Preincubation of microsomes with 14C-CDPcholine (or 14C-CDPethanolamine) resulted in synthesis and incorporation of 14C-phosphatidylcholine (PC) (or 14C-phosphatidylethanolamine, PE) into membranes at the same density. Increasing the Mg2+ concentration to 2.0 millimolar facilitated binding of ribosomes and caused a concomitant shift in density (to 34% w/w sucrose) of peak CPT, EPT, and CCR activities. Under these conditions, newly synthesized and incorporated 14C-PC (or PE) was recovered in these membranes. Transmission electron microscopy of this fraction confirmed binding of ribosomes to membranes. Radiolabeling in vivo of cotyledons with [methyl-14C] choline chloride or [1,2 ethanolamine-14C] ethanolamine hydrochloride resulted in a linear incorporation of radiolabel into PC or PE in a time dependent manner. Subfractionation of homogenates of radiolabeled cotyledons on sucrose gradients showed that membranes sedimenting at 24% (w/w) sucrose (ER) contained the majority of radiolabeled PC and PE with a minor peak at 40% (w/w) sucrose (mitochondria), but no radioactive PC or PE was recovered in glyoxysomes. These results indicate that ER in cotyledons of germinated cotton seedlings is the primary subcellular site of PC and PE synthesis. This is similar to the situation in endosperm tissue but distinctly different from root and hypocotyl tissue where Golgi are a major subcellular site of PC and PE synthesis.  相似文献

The intraorganellar distribution of superoxide dismutase (SOD) (EC 1.15.1.1) in two types of plant peroxisomes (glyoxysomes and leaf peroxisomes) was studied by determinations of SOD latency in intact organelles and by solubilization assays with 0.2 molar KCl. Glyoxysomes were purified from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons, and their integrity, calculated on the basis of glyoxysomal marker enzymes, was about 60%. Under the same conditions, the latency of SOD activity determined in glyoxysomes was 40%. The difference between glyoxysomal intactness and SOD latency was very close to the percentage of isozyme Mn-SOD previously determined in glyoxysomes (LM Sandalio, LA Del Río 1987 J Plant Physiol 127: 395-409). In matrix and membrane fractions of glyoxysomes, SOD exhibited a solubilization pattern very similar to catalase, a typical soluble enzyme of glyoxysomes. The analysis of the distribution of individual SOD isozymes in glyoxysomal fractions treated with KCl showed that Cu,Zn-SOD II, the major SOD isozyme in glyoxysomes, was present in the soluble fraction of these organelles, whereas Mn-SOD was bound to the glyoxysomal membrane. These data in conjunction with those of latency of SOD activity in intact glyoxysomes suggest that Mn-SOD is bound to the external side of the membrane of glyoxysomes. On the other hand, in intact leaf peroxisomes where only a Mn-containing SOD is present (LM Sandalio, JM Palma, LA Del Río 1987 Plant Sci 51: 1-8), this isozyme was found in the peroxisomal matrix. The physiological meaning of SOD localization in matrix and membrane fractions of glyoxysomes and the possibility of new roles for plant peroxisomes in cellular metabolism related to activated oxygen species is discussed.  相似文献
