The levels of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in suspensioncultures of Catharanthus roseus were determined 24 h after stationary-phasecells were transferred to fresh complete (‘+Pi’)or phosphate-deficient (‘–Pi’) Murashige-Skoogmedium. The levels of ATP, GTP, UTP and CTP were from approx.3 to 5-fold greater in the cells grown in ‘+Pi’medium than in the cells grown in ‘–Pi’ medium.The levels of almost all other nucleotides were slightly higherin the cells in ‘+Pi’ medium. The rates of de novoand salvage biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotideswere estimated from the rates of incorporation of radioactivityfrom [14C]formate, [2–14C]glycine, NaH14CO3, [6–14C]orotate,[8–14C]adenine, [8–14C]adenosine, [2–14C]uraciland [2–14C]uridine. The results indicated that the activityof both the de novo and the salvage pathway was higher in thecells in ‘+Pi’ medium than in the cells in ‘–Pi’medium. The rate of degradation estimated from the rate of releaseof 14CO2 from labelled purines and pyrimidines indicated thatdegradation of uridine was significantly reduced in the cellsin ‘+Pi’ medium, but no significant difference wasfound in the degradation of adenine, adenosine and uracil. Thepossible role of Pi in the control of the biosynthesis of nucleotidesand in the degradation of uridine is discussed.

A sulfite-dependent ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3 [EC] ] of Thiobacillus thiooxidanswas activated and solubilized by treatment with trypsin [EC3.4.4.4 [EC] ], and purified 84-fold with a 32% recovery. It requiredboth Mg2+ and SO32– for full activity, and its optimumpH was found at 7.5–8.0. Mn2+, Co2+, and Ca2+ could partiallysubstitute for Mg2+, while SeO32– and CrO42– couldpartially substitute for SO32–. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATP and deoxy-ATP most rapidly and otherphosphate esters were poorer substrates. The apparent Km valuefor ATP was 0.33 mM. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibitedby 0.2 mM NaN3 and 10 mM NaF. (Received July 27, 1977; )  相似文献

In nodulated common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), there is typicallya period of N stress between 15 and 20 d after emergence (DAE),due to a lack of synchronization between the depletion of Nin the cotyledons and the beginning of N2 fixation and transport.Screening trials identified some Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.phaseoli strains with which symptoms of N deficiency were notvisible (‘precocious’ strains). Cultivar Negro Argelwas then inoculated with two ‘traditional’ strains(C-05 and CIAT 727) and two ‘precocious’ strains(CNPAF 146 and CNPAF 512), and plants were harvested from 8to 30 DAE. There were no differences between the two groupsof strains in nodule dry weight or in the acetylene reductionrates between 8 and 16 DAE. However, nodules induced by the‘precocious’ strains showed earlier onset of glutaminesynthetase (GS) (EC 6.3.1.2 [EC] ) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT)(EC 1.4.1.14 [EC] ) activities, and ureide synthesis. The N concentrationin the nodules formed by ‘precocious’ strains variedfrom 4.2 to 4.5%, whereas with the ‘traditional’strains, it increased from 3.2% at 8 DAE to 65% at 18 DAE, atwhich time plants exhibited N-deficiency symptoms. By 21 DAE,GS and GOGAT activities in ‘traditional’ noduleswere increased, as well as the ureide-N-concentration in thexylem sap, nodule N content declined to 4.5% and the leavesbecame green. These results suggest that the N stress with ‘traditional’strains is not a limitation in early N2 fixation activity butrather in the rates of expression of the processes of N assimilationand transport.

Damage and degradation of cellular proteins is observed duringage-induced seed deterioration. L-Isoaspartyl protein methyltransferase(EC 2.1.1.77 [EC] ) is an enzyme hypothesized to play a role in limitingand repairing age-induced damage to proteins. Tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill. ‘New Yorker’) seeds were assayedfor changes in L-isoaspartyl methyl-transferase activity duringaccelerated ageing and after osmotic priming. Accelerated ageingof seeds for 1–4 d at 45C and 100% relative humidityreduced germination from 94% to 71%, increased the mean timeof germination (MTG) from 2.4 to 5.8 d, and was accompaniedby a correlative decrease in L-isoaspartyl methyltransferaseactivity (r2=0.90). Aged and untreated seeds were primed for7 d at 20C in darkness using aerated solutions of 3% KNO3 orpolyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG) with equivalent osmotic potential(–1.25 MPa). Priming with KNO3 decreased the MTG, butdid not improve germination percentage for untreated seeds.Priming did not affect L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase activityin untreated seeds, but restored activity in aged seeds primedin KNO3 to levels near that of untreated seeds. Priming withPEG did not effectively improve the MTG or increase L-isoaspartylmethyltransferase activity. During germination, L-isoaspartylmethyltransferase activity remained constant for 48 h post-imbibitionand then declined, suggesting that the enzyme was developmentallyregulated and inactivated or degraded as radicle emergence occurred.

The activities of three Calvin cycle enzymes, RuBPc (E.C. 4.1.1.39 [EC] ),3PGA phosphokinase (E.C. 2.7.2.3 [EC] ) and NADP-G3P dehydrogenase(E.C. 1.2.1.13 [EC] ), and the cytoplasmic enzyme PEPc (E.C. 4.1.1.31 [EC] )together with soluble protein and chlorophyll were measuredin extracts from young tomato leaves during acclimation to achange in irradiance. Leaf area and fresh weight were also measuredto show changes due to growth during treatments. Soluble proteinhad doubled on a unit leaf area basis 7 d after transfer from100 µmol quanta m–2s–1 PAR (low light) to400 µmol quanta m–2s–1 PAR (high light). Duringthis period the protein/chlorophyll ratio rose from 4•6to 10, RuBPc activity almost doubled and PEPc almost trebled.Following the reverse transfer from high to low light, solubleprotein decreased by 30% after 7 d and the protein/chlorophyllratio fell from 12 to 5•6. There was no change in RuBPcactivity 3 d after transfer from high to low light while PEPcactivity decreased by over 30%. There was no decrease in theactivity of 3PGA phosphokinase or NADP-G3P dehydrogenase 1 dafter transfer to low light, but decreases were apparent after3 d. The extracted kinase and dehydrogenase when fully activatedwere able to phosphorylate and reduce 3PGA at more than 2•5-foldits calculated rate of synthesis in the leaf. The data are discussedin relation to changes in the CO2 exchange of the leaf. Key words: Photosynthetic acclimation, irradiance, tomato leaf, RuBP carboxylase  相似文献

The effects of exposure of up to 2 h with sulphur dioxide ona range of plant species was observed by measuring changes inthe rate of net photosynthesis under closely controlled environmentalconditions. Ryegrass, Lolium perenne ‘S23’ was thespecies most sensitive to SO2; significant inhibition was detectedat 200 nl l–1. Fumigations at 300 nl l–1 also inhibitedphotosynthesis in field bean (Vicia faba cv. ‘Three FoldWhite’ and ‘Blaze’) and in barley (Hordeumvulgare cv. ‘Sonja’). No effect was detected inwheat (Triticum aestivum cv. ‘Virtue’) at concentrationsup to 600 nl l–1 SO2, or in oil-seed rape (Brassica napuscv. ‘Rafal’) except at 800 nl l–1 SO2). Recoverycommenced immediately after the fumigation was terminated andwas complete within 2 h when inhibition had not exceeded 20%during the SO2 treatment.

A microsomal flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) catalyzing themetabolism of naringenin to eriodictyol in Citrus sinensis (L.)Osbeck cv. ‘Hamlin’ cell suspension cultures wasshown to be a cytochrome P450 enzyme. This reaction requiredO2 and NADPH and was inhibited by CO, with partial reversalof CO-inhibition by light at 450 nm. Cytochrome P450 contentranged from 10–20 pmol (mg microsomal protein)–1.The F3'H reaction was shown to be linear in regard to proteinconcentration between 2.5 and 25 µg of microsomal protein.The optimum pH for the reaction was 7.4–7.6 and the temperatureoptimum was between 30 and 37°C. The apparent Km and Vmaxfor naringenin were 24 µM±3.2 and 81.4±7.9pmol eriodictyol min–1 (mg protein)–1, respectively.The microsomal F3'H was also capable of forming dihydroquercetinfrom dihydrokaempferol (40 pmol min–1 (mg protein)–1)and of quercetin from kaempferol (3.25 pmol min–1 (mgprotein–1). Cytochrome c and ketoconazole were the bestinhibitors of WH activity followed by piperonyl butoxide anda-naphthoflavone. Light was shown to be an inducer of the F3'Halmost doubling the specific activity and increasing the microsomalcytochrome P450 content by 30% over that of dark grown cells.F3'H activity was also confirmed in microsomal preparationsof young (new flush) leaves from ‘Hamlin’ treesand flavedo of ‘Hamlin’ oranges, ‘Marsh’grapefruit, and ‘Lisbon’ lemon. No activity wasobserved in older, hardened leaves and albedo of all the fruittested. Initiation of embryogenesis in the ‘Hamlin’cell suspension cultures by switching from a sucrose mediumto a glycerol-based medium resulted in the down-regulation ofF3'H. 1Mention of a trademark, warranty, proprietary product, or vendordoes not constitute a guarantee by the U.S. Department of Agricultureand does not imply its approval to the exclusion of other productsor vendors that may also be suitable.  相似文献

The charophyte Lamprothamnium papulosum (Wallr.) J. Gr. is foundat salinities varying from nearly fresh water to twice thatof sea water. It can maintain its turgor constant at 302 mosmolkg–1 (0.73 MPa) when exposed to external osmotic pressuresof 550 to 1350 mosmol kg–1 (1.3–3.3 MPa). Turgorshows a tendency to rise slightly at lower osmotic pressure(388 mosmol kg–1 of turgor at 150 mosmol kg–1 externalosmolality). K+ and Cl are the main solutes in the vacuole,and are most important in controlling internal osmotic pressure.Mg2+, Ca2+, and SO2–4 are present in significant amountsbut their concentrations do not change with changes in externalsalinity. Na+ is present in lower concentration than K+, andplays a minor role in regulating turgor. Sucrose is presentin significant concentrations, but changes little with changesin salinity. Two enzymes involved in sucrose metabolism, sucrosephosphate synthetase (EC 2.4.1.14 [EC] ), and sucrose synthetase (EC2.4.1.13 [EC] ) are active in whole cell extracts of Lamprothamnium.As in the fresh water charophytes, Lamprothamnium membrane potentialmay be depolarized (close to EK) or hyperpolarized, and presumablyof electrogenic origin. Both types of potential are found atall salinities tested.  相似文献

Rintamäki, E. and Aro, E.-M. 1985. Photosynthetic and photorespiratoryenzymes in widely divergent plant species with special referenceto the moss Ceratodon purpureus: Properties of ribulose bisphosphatecarboxylase/oxygenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and glycolateoxidase.—J. exp. Bot. 36: 1677–1684. Km(CO2) values and maximal velocities of ribulose bisphosphatecarboxylase/oxygenase (E.C. 4.1.1.39 [EC] ) were determined for sixplant species growing in the wild, consisting of a moss, a fernand four angiosperms. The maximum velocities of the RuBP carboxylasesvaried from 0.13 to 0.;62 µmol CO2 fixed min–1 mg–1soluble protein and the Km(CO2) values from 15 to 22 mmol m–3CO2. The highest Km(CO2) values found were for the moss, Ceratodonpurpureus, and the grass, Deschampsia flexuosa. These plantsalso had the highest ratios of the activities of RuBP carboxylaseto RuBP oxygenase. Glycolate oxidase (E.C. 1.1.3.1 [EC] ) activitieswere slightly lower in D.flexuosa, but not in C. purpureus,than for typical C3 species. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(E.C. 4.1.1.31 [EC] ) was not involved in the photosynthetic carboxylationby these two plants. However, another grass, Phragmites australis,was intermediate in PEP carboxylase activity between C3 andC4 plants The properties of RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase are discussedin relation to the activities of PEP carboxylase and glycolateoxidase and to the internal CO2 concentration.

The freezing tolerance of many plants, such as pea (Pisum sativum),is increased by exposure to low temperature or abscisic acidtreatment, although the physiological basis of this phenomenonis poorly understood. The freezing tolerance of pea shoot tips,root tips, and epicotyl tissue was tested after cold acclimationat 2C, dehydration/rehydration, applications of 10–4M abscisic acid (ABA), and deacclimation at 25C. Tests wereconducted using the cultivar ‘Alaska’, an ABA-deficientmutant ‘wil’, and its ‘wildtype’. Freezinginjury was determined graphically as the temperature that caused50% injury (T50) from electrical conductivity. Endogenous ABAwas measured using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay,and novel proteins were detected using 2-dimensional polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. The maximum decrease in T50 for root tissuewas 1C for all genotypes, regardless of treatment. For ‘Alaska’shoot tips and epicotyl tissue, exogenous ABA increased thefreezing tolerance by –1.5 to –4.0C, while coldtreatment increased the freezing tolerance by –7.5 to–14.8C. Cold treatment increased the freezing toleranceof shoot tips by –9 and –15C for ‘wil’and ‘wild-type’, respectively. Cold acclimationincreased endogenous ABA concentrations in ‘Alaska’shoot tips and epicotyls 3- to 4-fold. Immunogold labeling increasednoticeably in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the epicotyl after7 d at 2C and was greatest after 30 d at the time of maximumfreezing tolerance and soluble ABA concentration. Cold treatmentinduced the production of seven, three, and two proteins inshoot, epicotyl, and root tissue of ‘Alaska’, respectively.In ‘Alaska’ shoot tissue, five out of seven novelproteins accumulated in response to both ABA and cold treatment.However, only a 24 kDa protein was produced in ‘wil’and ‘wild-type’ shoot and epicotyl tissues aftercold treatment. Abscisic acid and cold treatment additivelyincreased the freezing tolerance of pea epicotyl and shoot tissuesthrough apparently independent mechanisms that both resultedin the production of a 24 kDa protein.

A 50-year-old Pinus sylvestris L. stand was exposed for 2 yearsto low concentrations of SO2 and NO2 in an open-air exposureexperiment in northern Sweden. The mean SO2 concentrations inthe centre of the exposed plot during the 1988 exposure from14 June to 25 September, and during the 1989 exposure from 6June to 30 September were 15 nl 1–1 and 12 nl 1–1,respectively. The corresponding values for NO2 were 15 nl 1–1and 10 nl 1–1, respectively. The concentration in thecontrol plot was never higher than a few ppb, and mostly below1 nl 1–1. Needles sampled from the SO2 and NO2-exposed area showed reducedactivities of glutathione reductase (GR; EC 1.6.4.2 [EC] ) and superoxidedismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1 [EC] ) compared with controls. The GRactivity showed decreased levels in autumn and winter, whilethe exposure had ceased, and SOD showed decreased activity duringthe second summer of exposure. Neither membrane-bound nor water-solubleanti-oxidants such as -tocopherol, carotenoids or glutathionechanged due to the exposure. The sulphur/nitrogen ratio wasincreased in needles that were exposed to SO2 and NO2 implyinga changed nutrition balance. The results suggest that the capacityof SOD and GR in the ascorbate-glutathione pathway was reduceddue to the exposure to air pollutants.

Nitrate provision has been found to regulate the capacity forChara corallina cells to take up nitrate. When nitrate was suppliedto N sufficient cells maximum nitrate uptake was reached after8 h. Prolonged treatment of the cells in the absence of N alsoresulted in the apparent ability of these cells to take up nitrate.Chlorate was found to substitute partially for nitrate in the‘induction’ step. The effects on nitrate reductionwere separated from those on nitrate uptake by experiments usingtungstate. Tungstate pretreatment had no effect on NO3uptake ‘induced’ by N starvation, but inhibitedNO3 uptake associated with NO3 pretreatment. Chloridepretreatment similarly had no effect on NO3 uptake ‘induced’by N deprivation, but inhibited NO3 uptake followingNO3 pretreatment. The data suggest that there are atleast two mechanisms responsible for the ‘induction’of nitrate uptake by Chara cells, one associated with NO3reduction and ‘induced’ by CIO3 or NO3and one associated with N deprivation.

At concentrations of CO2 less than saturating, carbonic anhydrase(EC 4.2.1.1 [EC] ) stimulates the carboxylation of ribulose bisphosphatecatalysed by ribulose bisphosphale carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.3 [EC] .9)in vitro. This is not through any beneficial association ofthe two enzymes but is a consequence of the increased rate ofconversion of HCO3 ion to CO2, the substrate for thecarboxylation. Carbonic anhydrase should always be includedin reaction mixtures used to determine the Michaelis constantof ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase for CO2 where fixationof radioactive CO2 into phosphoglycerate is the basis of rateestimation. The effect is to decrease the value obtained forthe Michaelis constant.  相似文献

Floral buds of the ‘False Horn’ plantain clonesMusa (AAB) ‘Harton Verde’, ‘Harton Negra’,and ‘Currare’ terminate in a large single floralstructure. The apices of these floral buds are here designatedas determinate since they have lost the ability to produce additionalfloral initials or buds. Terminal peduncle segments can be culturedin a modified Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplementedwith N6-benzyl-aminopurine (5 mg I–1). Under these conditions,this apparent inability to yield buds can be overcome as vegetativeshoot clusters form in the axils of the bracts. Rooted plantletsare obtainable by treating shoots with naphthaleneacetic acid(1 mg I–1) and activated charcoal (0.025%). The adventitiousorigin of the shoots has been established.

A procedure is described for the purification of phosphoenolpyruvatecarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31 [EC] ) and NADP-dependent malic enzyme (EC1.1.1.40 [EC] ) from sugar cane leaves. Each enzyme was purified tohomogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamidegel electro-phoresis, with about 30% yield. Phosphoenolpyruvatecarboxylase was purified 54-fold. A molecular weight of 400,000and a homotetrameric structure were determined for the nativeenzyme. The purified carboxylase had a specific activity of20.0 {diaeresis}mol (mg protein)–1 min–1, and wasactivated by glucose-6-phosphate and inhibited by L-malate.Km values at pH 8.0 for phosphoenolpyruvate and bicarbonatewere 0.25 and O.l0 mM, respectively. NADP-malic enzyme, 356-foldpurified, exhibited a specific activity of 71.2 {diaeresis}mol(mg protein)–1 min–1 and was characterized as ahomotetramer with native molecular weight of 250,000. Purifiedmalic enzyme showed an absolute specificity for NADP+ and requireda divalent metal ion for activity. Km values of 0.33 and 0.008mM for L-malate and NADP+, respectively, were determined. Thisenzyme was inhibited by several organic acids, including ketoand amino acids; while succinate and citrate increased the enzymeactivity when assayed with 10{diaeresis}M L-malate. The effectsshown by amino acids and by citrate were dependent on pH, beinghigher at pH 8.0 than at pH 7.0. (Received October 26, 1988; Accepted February 3, 1989)  相似文献

The activation of ribulose–1, 5-bisphosphate carb-oxylase/oxygenase(Rubisco, EC 4.1.1.39 [EC] ) from the floating angiosperm Spirodelapolyrhiza (L.) Schleid. (giant duckweed) grown at a photon irradianceof 200 or 400 mol photons m–2 s–1 was consistentlylow, in the range of 56–62%. Similarly low values wereobserved with four other emergent aquatic species growing underfull sun irradiance. Transference of Spirodela plants for short(minutes) or long (days) periods to the higher or lower irradianceincreased or decreased, respectively, the activation by onlyabout 15%. Activation was not greatly altered by exposure ofthe plants to full sun irradiance of >2000 mol photons m–2s–1 or CO2 concentrations in air of 0 and 1170 mol mor–1but darkness caused a slow decline to 20% activation. Transientoscillations were observed following a change in irradianceor CO2 concentration indicating that Rubisco was responsiveto environmental perturbations. The low Rubisco activation wasnot due to the tight binding of inhibitors such as carboxyarabinitol-1-phosphate.It is concluded that a substantial proportion of the Rubiscoprotein in these naturally-occurring species may not be usedfor CO2-fixation at any given moment.

The enzymatic activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(EC 4.1.1.31 [EC] ), ‘malic enzyme’ (EC 1.1.1.40 [EC] ), phosphofmctokinase(EC 2.7.1.11 [EC] ) and fructosebisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11 [EC] ) weremeasured during the swelling and shrinking of isolated and purifiedguard cell protoplasts (Vicia faba) in darkness. The volumeincrease was accompanied by the activation of phosphofructokinaseand a short stimulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase,at the same time the ‘malic enzyme’ and fructosebisphosphatasewere inhibited. However, during the shrinkage of guard cellprotoplasts these two enzymes were activated in contrast tophosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and phospho-fructokinase. Becauseof the dramatic increase of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylaseactivity during the swelling, this enzyme was assumed to actas a trigger for the swelling phase.  相似文献
