Abstract In the light leaf spot fungus Pyrenopeziza brassicae , the kinetics of uptake of sucrose, glucose and fructose are all biphasic. At low and high concentrations, glucose and fructose share a high-affinity and a low-affinity hexose carrier respectively, with K m s of 3.5 and 4.6 μM for uptake of glucose and fructose respectively by the high-affinity system, and K s s of 690 and 750 uM for uptake of glucose and fructose by the low-affinity system. The data also suggest the existence of separate high-affinity and low-affinity uptake systems for sucrose. P. brassicae possesses both soluble and paniculate invertase activity, with pH optima of 5.0 and 4.0 respectively. Activity of the particulate invertase is considerably in excess of the highest rates of sucrose uptake.  相似文献

The preference of maize ( Zea mays L.) mitochondrial hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1.) for glucose and fructose and the ADP regulation were evaluated. The Michaelis-Menten constants (Km) varied between 0.02 and 0.09 m M for glucose and from 2 to 6 m M for fructose as substrates. The value of Vmax was five times higher in the presence of glucose as compared with fructose in membrane-bound enzyme preparations. It was shown that ADP produced from the reaction inhibits the hexokinase activity (Ki=20–50 μ M ). However, the inhibition was very specific for adenine nucleotide. Only a small inhibition was observed when 1 m M of UDP, CDP or GDP was included in the assay medium. Nevertheless, the ADP inhibition was observed only when glucose was phosphorylated. In assay conditions where fructose serves as substrate, the affinity for ADP decreased by 10-fold (Ki varied between 500 and 1  000 μ M ). These kinetics properties were also observed in partially purified soluble enzyme preparations. These data suggest that the type of hexose bound to the catalytic site modulates the ADP control of maize mitochondrial hexokinase.  相似文献

In chlorophylkras soybean ( Glycine max L.) cell suspensioo cultures glucose uptake has been studied using the analogue 3-O-methyIglucose. Uptake could be distinguished into: a) a high affinity phase with Km= 0.06 m M and b) a low affinity phase with Km 2.0 m M . The uptake of glucose was accompanied by H+-cotransport with a stoichiometry of 0.3 H+ per molecule 3-O-methylglucose. Experiments in which sugar uptake was measured in the presence of various inhibitors of respiration and photosynthesis demonstrated that the glucose uptake system was dependent on energy metabolism and the ATP-content of the cells. Efflux experiments in the presence of the uncoupler dinitrophenol confirmed this energy dependency. Glucose uptake did not decrease before the ATP-content of the cells had decreased considerably.  相似文献

Abstract: Fungal carbohydrate nutrition is an important aspect of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis. At the plant/fungus interface, fungal and root cortical cells compete for monosaccharides, generated from plant-derived sucrose. Therefore, the kinetic properties of the monosaccharide uptake systems are decisive for the monosaccharide yield of each partner. For the functional characterization of a hexose transporter (AmMst1) of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Amanita muscaria, the entire cDNA was expressed in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain unable to take up hexoses. Uptake experiments with 14C-labelled monosaccharides resulted in KM values of 0.46 mM for glucose and 4.20 mM for fructose, revealing a strong preference of AmMst1 for glucose as substrate. Glucose uptake by AmMst1 was strongly favoured even in the presence of a large excess of fructose. Comparable affinities of AmMst1 for glucose, 3-O-methyl glucose and mannose were obtained. In contrast, AmMst1 imported galactose with a much lower efficiency, revealing that this transporter distinguishes pyranoses by steric hindrance at the C-4 position. While yeast contains numerous hexose transporter genes, the AmMst1 gene seems to be the main, if not the only, hexose transporter that is expressed in A. muscaria, as concluded from the comparison of hexose import properties of A. muscaria protoplasts and AmMst1 expressed in yeast.  相似文献

Characterization of hexose kinases from camellia and lily pollen grains   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Extracts from Camellia japonica, Lilium longiflorum and L. lancifolium pollen grains showed a far higher kinase activity with fructose than with glucose. Fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) and hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) preparations were obtained by partial fractionation of the extracts by DEAE-cellulose chromatography; the former was practically inactive with glucose. All had a pH optimum at 7.0–8.0 and required Mg1+ ions for activity with optima at 0.5-1 m M and 1-2 m M for fructokinase and hexokinase activities, respectively. Fructokinases had Km of 0.2-0.4 m M for fructose and similar affinities for ATP and UTP, and were inhibited by fructose above 1 m M . Hexokinases had a higher affinity for glucose than for fructose and a lower affinity for UTP compared to ATP. In camellia pollen most of hexose kinase activities were found to be due to fructokinase. These results are discussed in relation to stimulation of camellia pollen tube growth by oligosaccharides susceptible to invertase (EC 3.2.1.26).  相似文献

The primary utilization of carbohydrates by cell suspension cultures of Rudgea jasminoides, a native woody Rubiaceae from tropical forests, was investigated. Sucrose, glucose + fructose, glucose, or fructose were supplied as carbon sources. The growth curves of R. jasminoides cultured in glucose + fructose, glucose, or fructose showed similar patterns to that observed when sucrose was supplied to the cells, except that an increase in dry mass was observed at the beginning of the stationary growth phase in the media containing only one monosaccharide. The increase in hexose levels in the media during the early stages of the cultures indicated extracellular hydrolysis of sucrose, which was further supported by the increase in the activity of acid invertase bound to the cell wall. Glucose was preferentially taken up, whereas uptake of fructose was delayed until glucose was nearly depleted from the medium. Measurements of intracellular sucrose content and cytoplasmatic and vacuolar invertases indicate that the enzymatic activity seems to be correlated with a decrease in the hexose flux into the cells of R. jasminoides. Our results indicate that the behavior of cell suspension cultures of R. jasminoides regarding sugar utilization seems to be similar to other dicotyledonous undifferentiated cell suspension cultures.  相似文献

Multiple activity peaks of neutral invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) were found in chicory roots ( Cichorium intybus L. var. foliosum cv. Flash). The main activity peak was purified by a combination of anion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, chromatofocusing and gel filtration. This protocol produced a 77-fold purification and a specific activity of 1.6 μmol (mg protein)−1 min−1. The mass of the enzyme was 260 kDa as estimated by gel filtration and 65 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Optimal activity was found between pH 7 and 7.5. The purified enzyme exhibited hyperbolic saturation kinetics with a Km between 10 and 20 mM for sucrose. No other products than glucose and fructose could be detected. Raffinose was hydrolyzed at a rate of 2.4% relative to sucrose whereas the enzyme did not hydrolyze maltose, cellobiose, trehalose, 1-kestose, 1.1-nystose or inulin. Neutral invertase activity was completely inhibited by HgCl2 and AgNO3 and partially inhibited by CoCl2, and ZnSO4 (1 mM). Pyridoxal phosphate (Ki≅ 500 μ M ), Tris (Ki≅ 1.2 m M ), glucose and fructose (Ki≅ 16 m M ) were strong inhibitors of the enzyme. Fructose and Tris behaved as competitive inhibitors. A possible role for the enzyme's activity in vivo is discussed.  相似文献

The effects of the apoplastic, i.e. external, concentration of sucrose (0–30 m M ) on O2 evolution, O2 consumption, starch, sucrose, glucose and fructose content, and uptake and efflux of sucrose in mesophyll protoplasts of Pisum sativum L. cv. Fenomen were studied. Neither photosynthesis, dark respiration, sucrose nor starch content change with increased apoplastic sucrose concentration. The contents of glucose and fructose in the protoplasts increase with increased apoplastic sucrose concentration. The sucrose efflux increases with increased external sucrose concentrations between 1 and 5 m M , but above this range the efflux decreases with increased external sucrose concentrations. These findings indicate that although external sucrose does not enter the protoplasts, there is a relationship between the external sucrose pool and the internal pools of sugars in the mesophyll protoplasts. The results suggest an active sucrose efflux from the protoplasts at physiological concentrations of apoplastic sucrose (max 5 m M ) and a simple diffusion mechanism at higher concentrations.  相似文献

After a lag phase of 2 days, batch-grown cells of carrot ( Daucus carota L.) cv. Flakkese entered the exponential growth phase and started to accumulate sucrose and hexoses. Short-term feeding 13C-glucose in this period resulted in only minor labelling of sucrose or fructose. CO2 production from [1-13C]- and [6-13C]-glucose revealed, that at least 40% of the added glucose passed through the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP), up to 40% through glycolysis leaving only minor 13C-glucose for incorporation in various cell components in the exponential growth phase. After about 11 days of culture, the medium sugars were exhausted, cells entered the stationary growth phase and consumed stored sugar. Both neutral and acid invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) and sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) increased 50% from day 0 to days 11–13; thereafter their levels decreased again. Labelling with 13C-glucose resulted in the accumulation of labelled sucrose and fructose during the stationary growth phase. Sucrose labelling was transient, i.e. after 6 h its level started to decrease again. Labelled fructose, however, evolved slower and increased even after 8 h. In sucrose and fructose up to 20% of the 13C-label was exchanged from C-1 to C-6 carbons, indicating intensive cycling of at least 40% of the carbon between hexoses and triose phosphates. In the stationary phase only 10% of the labelled glucose passed through the OPPP and about 30% passed through the respiratory pathway; the remaining 60% was incorporated in cell constituents and sugars. Comparing the various cycles revealed that the regulation of the OPPP operated relatively independently from the cytosolic cycling of hexose phosphates through sucrose and from the cycling between hexose phosphates and triose phosphates.  相似文献

Abstract— Slices from various regions of rat brain, incubated at 25°C, rapidly accumulate [3H]GABA from the surrounding medium until after 60min tissue:medium ratios as high as 300 may be achieved. Kinetic analysis has demonstrated two distinct uptake systems for GABA in all the brain regions examined. One system has a relatively high substrate affinity ( Km = 1.2 ± 10-5 M) while the other has a lower affinity ( Km = 4 ± 10-4 M). Studies at low GABA concentration (5 ± 10-8 M), as well as estimates of maximum velocities, have shown that the distribution of the high affinity uptake system is heterogeneous. Cortex, hypothala mus, midbrain and hippocampus have relatively high uptake rates while the striatum, cerebellum and pons and medulla have a lower uptake rate. Maximum velocities for the low affinity uptake system show much less regional variation.
Lithium, either added to the incubation medium or fed to rats, had no effect on the uptake of GABA by cortical slices.  相似文献

Abstract: Staurosporine (0.03–0.5 µ M ) induced a dose-dependent, apoptotic degeneration in cultured rat hippocampal neurons that was sensitive to 24-h pretreatments with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (1 µ M ) or the cell cycle inhibitor mimosine (100 µ M ). To investigate the role of Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species in staurosporine-induced neuronal apoptosis, we overexpressed calbindin D28K, a Ca2+ binding protein, and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase, an antioxidative enzyme, in the hippocampal neurons using adenovirus-mediated gene transfer. Infection of the cultures with the recombinant adenoviruses (100 multiplicity of infection) resulted in a stable expression of the respective proteins assessed 48 h later. Overexpression of both calbindin D28K and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase significantly reduced staurosporine neurotoxicity compared with control cultures infected with a β-galactosidase overexpressing adenovirus. Staurosporine-induced neuronal apoptosis was also significantly reduced when the culture medium was supplemented with 10 or 30 m M K+, suggesting that Ca2+ influx via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels reduces this apoptotic cell death. In contrast, neither the glutamate receptor agonist NMDA (1–10 µ M ) nor the NMDA receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801; 1 µ M ) was able to reduce staurosporine neurotoxicity. Cultures treated with the antioxidants U-74500A (1–10 µ M ) and N -acetylcysteine (100 µ M ) also demonstrated reduced staurosporine neurotoxicity. These results suggest a fundamental role for both Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species in staurosporine-induced neuronal apoptosis.  相似文献

Changes in sugar uptake into strawberry fruits with maturation and the hormonal effect on uptake mechanisms, though important to fruit development, are not known. Therefore, the kinetics of sugar uptake into strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa Duch cv. Nyoho) fruit tissue and the effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and indoleacetic acid (LAA) on the mechanism of uptake were investigated at 25 and 35 days after pollination (DAP). Uptake of 14C-sugar was measured over the concentration range of 2 to 30 m M. Uptake kinetics showed a biphasic response to increasing external concentration of 14C-sugars, and indicated the presence of P -chlorormercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS)-sensitive and PCMBS-insensitive uptake. The Km value for each sugar was in the range of 10 to 20 m M. Stage of development had no effect on Km. but Vmax for glucose decreased with maturation. Further, sucrose was not taken up through a PC-MBS-sensitive transport at 35 DAP. ABA, especially 10 μ M , at 25 DAP stimulated uptake of all sugars, mostly through enhanced PCMBS-insensitive uptake but not PC-MBS-sensitive uptake. In contrast to ABA, stimulation of sugar uptake by IAA was most effective at 1 μ M . The PCMBS-insensitive uptake of each sugar was also stimulated by IAA. Further, the PCMBS-sensitive uptake of glucose was enhanced. The developmental change of PCMBS-sensitive sugar uptake and the effect of ABA and IAA on uptake mechanism in this study are considered to be important in influencing the development and enlargement of fruits.  相似文献

Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.) fry hatched from eggs transferred from high-Na to low-Na water during the eyed stage of development had a significantly higher Vmax and lower Km (P <0.01) of the sodium uptake mechanism than fry hatched from eggs incubated entirely in low-Na or high-Na water.
Fry hatched from eggs transferred to acid, high aluminium water during the eyed stage of development had a similar Vmax and Km to fry hatched from eggs incubated entirely in high- or low-Na water. Eggs incubated continuously in acid, high aluminium (low-Na) water produced fry with significantly lower Km and Vmax values than fry hatched from eggs incubated continuously in low-Na water. Eggs and fry in acid, high aluminium water continually lost sodium and mortality was 100% at 5 5 M O degree-days (2–3 weeks after hatching).
The results are discussed with respect to the influence of perivitelline fluid ion activities in eggs in acid, high aluminium water on the kinetic characteristics of sodium uptake in yolk-sac fry. A possible mechanism for the long-term adaptation of teleosts in acidified natural waters is also proposed.  相似文献

Abstract: Regional differences in the kinetics and pharmacological inhibition of dopamine uptake were investigated with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry in both the intact rat brain and a brain slice preparation. The regions compared were the basolateral amygdaloid nucleus, caudate-putamen, and nucleus accumbens. The frequency dependence of dopamine efflux evoked in vivo by electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle was evaluated by nonlinear curve fitting with a Michaelis-Menten-based kinetic model. The K m for dopamine uptake was found to be significantly higher in the basolateral amygdala (0.6 µ M ) than in the other two regions (0.2 µ M ), whereas the V max value for dopamine uptake in the basolateral amygdala was significantly lower (0.49 µ M /s vs. 3.8 and 2.4 µ M /s in the caudate and accumbens, respectively). Similar kinetics were also obtained in brain slices. Addition of a dopamine uptake inhibitor, cocaine or nomifensine (10 µ M ), to the perfusion buffer increased the apparent K m value >25-fold in slices of both the caudate-putamen and nucleus accumbens. In contrast, neither uptake inhibitor had an observable effect in the basolateral amygdaloid nucleus. Thus, dopamine uptake in the rat brain is regionally distinct with regard to rate, affinity, and sensitivity to competitive inhibition.  相似文献

The relationship between CO2 assimilation rate, growth and partitioning of carbon among starch, sucrose, glucose and fructose were studied in phosphorus (Pi)-limited Lemna gibba L. G3. Two experimental models were used: 1) Cultures were grown at various stable, suboptimal rates regulated by the supply of Pi; 2) cultures growing at optimal rates were transferred to Pi-free medium. The response to a Pi deficiency can be divided into two phases. Phase I is characterized by hyperactivity of the sucrose synthesis pathway, leading to high levels of glucose and fructose. Phase II is characterized by starch accumulation associated with a decrease in the cytoplasmic pools of soluble sugars owing to inhibition of carbon export from the chloroplast. A strong negative correlation was found between the CO2 assimilation rate and starch levels. No significant correlation was found between assimilation and ATP levels and decrease in relative growth rate did not significantly affect the adenylate energy charge (EC). The regulatory aspects of the partitioning of carbon among soluble sugars and starch as well as the negative correlation between carbohydrate levels and CO2 assimilation at Pi-limited growth are discussed.  相似文献

Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APT; EC 2.4.2.7) is a constitutively expressed enzyme involved in the one-step salvage of adenine to AMP. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains five sequences annotated as encoding APT or APT-like enzymes. Three of these have now been cloned, over-expressed and compared using kinetic analyses. At a cytosolic pH, all bind adenine efficiently based on their Km values (0.8–2.6 µ M ), although APT1 metabolizes adenine at a rate 31–53 times faster than APT2 and APT3, respectively. Since APT also has a possible role in the interconversion of cytokinin bases to nucleotides, we characterized the activity of each isoform on zeatin, isopentenyladenine and benzyladenine. Based on their Km values, APT2 and APT3 had much higher affinities than APT1 for all three cytokinins (15–440 µ M for APT2 and 3 vs. 1.8–2.5 m M for APT1); conversely the Vmax values for APT2 and APT3 on these CK substrates showed the opposite trend, being 4- to 19-fold lower than those of APT1. Anti-peptide antibodies for APT1, APT2, and APT3 were prepared and used to examine the subcellular localization of each isoform. Based on these results, APT1 and APT3 appear to be cytosolic, while the localization of APT2 was inconclusive although sequence analysis implies that APT2 is also cytosolic. Each isoform was modelled against the crystal structure of APT from Leishmania donovani , and structural differences in substrate specificity-determining domains have been found. The estimated kinetic activities of these APTs suggest that they contribute primarily to adenine recycling, although an involvement in cytokinin interconversion cannot be discounted.  相似文献

Summary The uptake of glucose and fructose from the medium by Catharanthus roseus cell suspensions was strongly inhibited by high medium salt concentration, such as found in LS (Linsmaier and Skoog 1965) medium. After inoculation into standard LS nutrient medium with less than 5 mM hexose no uptake occurred, while in low salt medium hexose was completely depleted. At a hexose concentration of 50 mM the uptake rate was higher in low salt medium than in standard medium. The lower rate of uptake at high salt concentration was not the result of a pH or osmotic effect of the salts. Probably the affinity of the hexose carrier is affected by the ion concentration of the medium. The decrease in medium salt concentration during normal batch culture probably will have a considerable effect on hexose uptake.Abbreviations LS Linsmaier and Skoog - S sucrose - N mineral nitrogen - K K2SO4 - F fructose  相似文献

Abscisic acid inhibits phloem loading of sucrose   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on the uptake of sucrose by discs from castor bean ( Ricinus communis L. cv. Zanzibarensis) cotyledons was investigated. Incubation on ABA solutions for one hour or longer significantly inhibited sucrose uptake. The effect was measurable at ABA concentrations as low as 0.1 μ M . The inhibition was due to a lowering of the apparent Vmax of the sucrose-carrier system, the Km being unaffected. Uptake of sucrose was coupled to proton uptake but ABA had no detectable effect on the latter process. It is suggested that ABA exerts an effect on the phloem loading of sucrose by enhancing the efflux of sucrose. In leaf discs from three other plant species ( Beta vulgaris L., Petunia hybrida L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L.) ABA exerted a similar effect. The results are discussed with respect to source-sink relationships.  相似文献

Summary Fructose utilization in laboratory-scale sucrose adjunct brewers wort fermentations, using the brewing strainS. cerevisiae IGC 4261, is predicted by a mathematical model based on the kinetic parameters of the membrane transport proteins which affect fructose uptake into the cell. These include biphasic fructose transport via a proton symport and the constitutive hexose facilitated diffusion system, plus the competitive inhibitory effect that glucose has on this latter component. Also the non-competitive inhibitory effects of a) maltose on fructose uptake via its proton symport and b) ethanol on biphasic fructose transport are incorporated within the model, as well as the inoculum size.  相似文献

Abstract— When suboesophageal ganglia of the snail Helix comalia were incubated at 25°C in a medium containing [3H]choline, tissue: medium ratios of about 14:1 were obtained after 20 min incubation, and only 15°, of the accumulated choline was metabolized to form [3H]acetylcholine. The uptake of [3H]choline showed saturation kinetics and was dependent upon temperature and sodium ions. Kinetic analysis suggested the existence of a high affinity uptake process (Km= 1.7 μM, Vmax= 0.21 nmol/g/min) and a low affinity process (Km= 100 μM, Vmax= 1.2 nmol/g/min). The high affinity uptake differed from the low affinity system in that it was sensitive to various metabolic inhibitors and was competitively inhibited by low concentrations of hemicholinium- and acetylcholine. Neither uptake system was greatly influenced by the absence of calcium, potassium or magnesium ions or by the presence of low concentrations of 5-HT, dopamine. tetrabenazine, chlorpromazine, decamethonium, nalaxone or imipramine. The high affinity uptake process may be important in supplying choline for the biosynthesis of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons.  相似文献
