The mode of increase in cell wall polysaccharides of yeast (glucan and mannan) during cell cycle was analyzed using cell wall samples obtained from a synchronous culture. The increase in mannan and total glucan proceeded almost linearly throughout the cell cycle except for a short period of their leveling off at the time of cell division. However, the constituents of glucan behaved characteristically: Alkalisoluble glucan and insoluble glucan increased mainly in the former and the latter half of the cell cycle, respectively. 相似文献

Cell wall mannoproteins during the population growth phases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Mannoproteins from cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae synthesized at successive stages of the population growth cycle have been solubilized with Zymolyase and subsequently analyzed. The major change along the population cycle concerned a large size mannoprotein material; the size of the newly-synthesized molecules varied from 120,000–500,000 (mean of about 200,000) at early exponential phase to 250,000–350,000 (mean of about 300,000) at late exponential phase. These differences are due to modifications in the amount of N-glycosidically linked mannose residues, since the size of the peptide moiety was 90,000–100,000 at all growth stages and the level of O-glycosylation changed only slightly. After, incubation of the purified walls with concanavalin A-ferritin and subsequent analysis by electron microscopy, labelling was localized at the external and internal faces of the walls. The middle space of these was labelled after digestion of the glucan network with Zymolyase, which demonstrate the presence of mannoproteins in close contact with the structural glucan molecules throughout the wall.Abbreviations BSA

Inhibition of the synthesis of alkali-insoluble glucan by aculeacin A in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells caused a decrease in the incorporation of a high molecular weight heterogeneous mannoprotein material and of a 33000 mannoprotein into the wall network. This was concomitant with the excretion of the latter molecule into the growth medium. Regenerating yeast protoplasts liberated considerable amounts of the heterogeneous material to the medium independently of the presence of aculeacin. The protoplast walls did lack this component and contained only minor amounts of the 33000 molecule, which was also completely absent from walls of aculeacin-treated protoplasts. Considerable levels of the 33000 species were immunodetected in the supernatants from treated and untreated protoplasts. These results point to the existence of specific interactions between the glucan network of the yeast cell surface and some of the wall mannoproteins. On the other hand, the presence of a population of SDS-solubilizable mannoproteins in the wall was independent of glucan levels.Abbreviations SDS

Phenotype analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants with deletions in Pir cell wall glycoproteins
Proteins with internal repeats (Pir) belong to a minor group of covalently linked yeast cell wall proteins. They are not essential for viability but important for cell wall strength, reduced permeability against plant antifungal enzymes and maintenance of osmotic stability. Here we show the importance of Pir proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for growth at low pH and in presence of various inhibitors. Cell wall analysis of Deltapir1,2,3,4 deletion strain revealed slightly increased chitin content and changes in relative proportion of alkali-soluble and insoluble glucan and chitin fractions. Activation of the cell wall integrity pathway was indicated by increased levels of double phosphorylated Mpk1p/Slt2p in the pir deletants. 相似文献

The yeast cell wall consists of an internal skeletal layer and an outside protein layer. The synthesis of both β-1,3-glucan and chitin, which together form the cell wall skeleton, is cell cycle-regulated. We show here that the expression of five cell wall protein-encoding genes (CWP1, CWP2, SED1, TIP1 and TIR1) is also cell cycle-regulated. TIP1 is expressed in G1 phase, CWP1, CWP2 and TIR1 are expressed in S/G2 phase, and SED1 in M phase. The data suggest that these proteins fulfil distinct functions in the cell wall. 相似文献

Protoplasts isolated from cultured soybean cells (Glycine max (L.) Merr., cv. Mandarin) were used to study polysaccharide biosynthesis during the initial stages of cell wall-regeneration. Within minutes after the protoplasts were transferred to a wall-regeneration medium containing [14C]glucose, radioactivity was detected in a product which was chemically characterized as cellulose. The onset and accumulation of radioactivity into cellulose coincided with the appearance fibrils on the surface of protoplasts, as seen under the electron microscope. At these early stages, a variety of polysaccharide-containing polymers other than cellulose were also synthesized. Under conditions where the protoplasts were competent to synthesize cellulose from glucose, uridine diphosphate-[14C]glucose and guanosine diphosphate-[14C]glucose did not serve as effective substrates for cellulose synthesis. However, substantial amounts of label from uridine diphosphate glucose were incorporated into 1,3-glucan.Abbreviations ECM

The synthesis of cell wall mannan and the activities of guanosine-diphosphate-mannose-pyrophosphorylase (EC2.7.7.13) and mannan synthetase were studied during the development of nucleate and enucleated cells of the alga Acetabularia mediterranea. The activities of both enzymes are relatively high as long as the cells grow and synthesize mannans. With termination of growth and mannan synthesis, the activities of both enzymes, but especially of mannan synthetase, drop to a low value. Furthermore, the activities of both enzymes are distributed in the cell along an apical-basal gradient. High activities are present in the apical regions of the cell where growth and mannan synthesis mainly occur, whereas in the basal region, growth, mannan synthesis and the activity of the two enzymes are slight. Since the in vitro activity of GDP-Man-pyr is at least 100 times higher than that of mannan synthetase, it was concluded that mannan synthetase activity is the limiting factor in mannan synthesis. This conclusion is supported by the determined pool sizes of Fru 6-P, Man 6-P, Man 1-P and GDP-Man during the development of the cells. The control of mannan synthesis and with it cell wall formation and growth through the regulation of mannan synthetase activity is discussed.Abbreviations DD

Alterations in the cell wall ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae induced by the alpha sex factor or a mutation in the cell cycle 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We performed experiments in parallel to study the rate of synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides and the activity of glycosyl transferases inSaccharomyces cerevisiae after arrest of acdc 28 mutant in G1 phase by either addition of alpha-factor or transfer to the non-permissive temperature. Both effectors brought about similar time-dependent increases in the rate of synthesis and deposition of the cell wall polysaccharides chitin, glucan and mannan. These changes in cell wall composition were accompanied by an increase in the specific activities of glucan and chitin synthetases. This increase was inhibited by cycloheximide suggesting that it representedde novo enzyme biosynthesis and not enzyme activation. Our data are consistent with the notion that both alpha-factor and thecdc 28 mutation affect the same stage-specific function that controls the temporal expression of glycosyl transferases.Abbreviations GlcNAc

It is shown that the deletion of BGL2 gene leads to increase in chitin content in the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A part of the additional chitin can be removed from the bgl2Δ cell wall by alkali or trypsin treatment. Chitin synthase 1 (Chs1) activity was increased by 60 % in bgl2Δ mutant. No increase in chitin synthase 3 (Chs3) activity in bgl2Δ cells was observed, while they became more sensitive to Nikkomycin Z. The chitin level in the cell walls of a strain lacking
both BGL2 and CHS3 genes was higher than that in chs3Δ and lower than that in bgl2Δ strains. Together these data indicate that the deletion of BGL2 results in the accumulation and abnormal incorporation of chitin into the cell wall of S. cerevisiae, and both Chs1 and Chs3 take part in a response to BGL2 deletion in S. cerevisiae cells.

Summary Membranes from etiolated maize seedlings were isolated using sucrose gradients for in vitro studies of polysaccharide synthesis. Following downward centrifugation, flotation centrifugation improved the purity of membrane fractions, in particular the Golgi apparatus. Based on naphthylphthalamic acid binding to plasma membrane and inosine-5-diphosphatase activity in Golgi apparatus, flotation centrifugation removed about 70% of the plasma membrane which cosedimented with the Golgi apparatus in downward centrifugation. The addition of chelators during flotation centrifugation allowed separation of the Golgi apparatus from endoplasmic reticulum, as indicated by NADH cytochromec reductase activity. Glucan and xylan synthase activities were measured as the radioactivity incorporated from either UDP-14C-glucose or UDP-14C-xylose into 80% ethanol insoluble materials. Glucan synthase activity at a substrate concentration of 1 mM UDP-glucose without CaCl2 was greatest in fractions enriched in Golgi apparatus, but in the presence of 3 mM CaCl2 the activity was greatest in fractions enriched in plasma membrane. Glucan synthase activity at a substrate concentration of 10M UDP-glucose in the presence of 3 mM MnCl2 was greatest in fractions enriched in plasma membrane, but was also high in fractions enriched in Golgi apparatus. Xylan synthase activity, at a substrate concentration of 1 M UDP-xylose in the presence of 3 mM MnCl2, was greatest in fractions enriched in Golgi apparatus. To further characterize these synthase reactions, the glycosyl linkages of the products formed were analyzed with a gas chromatograph coupled to a radiogas proportional counter. With the substrate, UDP-14C-glucose, and fractions enriched in Golgi apparatus, both (13)- and (14)-radioactive glucosyl linkages were formed, whereas the main linkage formed by fractions enriched in plasma membrane was (13)-glucosyl. With the substrate, UDP-14C-xylose, mostly (14)-xylosyl and some terminal-xylosyl linkages were formed by fractions enriched in Golgi apparatus. Only xylan synthase activity copurified with Golgi apparatus and, because plasma membrane lacked this activity, xylan synthase may be used as a reasonable indicator of Golgi apparatus.Abbreviations ATP

Cell wall polysaccharides from fern leaves: evidence for a mannan-rich Type III cell wall in Adiantum raddianum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Primary cell walls from plants are composites of cellulose tethered by cross-linking glycans and embedded in a matrix of pectins. Cell wall composition varies between plant species, reflecting in some instances the evolutionary distance between them. In this work the monosaccharide compositions of isolated primary cell walls of nine fern species and one lycophyte were characterized and compared with those from Equisetum and an angiosperm dicot. The relatively high abundance of mannose in these plants suggests that mannans may constitute the major cross-linking glycan in the primary walls of pteridophytes and lycophytes. Pectin-related polysaccharides contained mostly rhamnose and uronic acids, indicating the presence of rhamnogalacturonan I highly substituted with galactose and arabinose. Structural and fine-structural analyses of the hemicellulose fraction of leaves of Adiantum raddianum confirmed this hypothesis. Linkage analysis showed that the mannan contains mostly 4-Man with very little 4,6-Man, indicating a low percentage of branching with galactose. Treatment of the mannan-rich fractions with endo-β-mannanase produced characteristic mannan oligosaccharides. Minor amounts of xyloglucan and xylans were also detected. These data and those of others suggest that all vascular plants contain xyloglucans, arabinoxylans, and (gluco)mannans, but in different proportions that define cell wall types. Whereas xyloglucan and pectin-rich walls define Type I walls of dicots and many monocots, arabinoxylans and lower proportion of pectin define the Type II walls of commelinoid monocots. The mannan-rich primary walls with low pectins of many ferns and a lycopod indicate a fundamentally different wall type among land plants, the Type III wall. 相似文献

Protoplasts prepared from complementary haploid strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae were studied with regard to their ability of conjugating. Neither fresh protoplasts nor the growing protoplasts possessing fibrillar walls exhibited sex specific agglutination or fusion. However, they were capable of inducing sexual activation in normal cells of opposite mating type. After completing the regeneration of cell walls the protoplasts could conjugate either with each other or with cells of opposite sex. The frequency of conjugations was low, about 1%, and was largely dependent on the degree of completition of the wall during regeneration. From the results the following conclusions may be drawn: 1. The initiation of mating is dependent on the integrity of the cell wall. 2. The sex specific morphogenetic changes do not occur in wall-less protoplasts but may happen after the protoplasts have regenerated their cell walls. 3. The lysis of cell walls does not occur until the walls come into close contact. 4. The fusion of plasma membranes in sex-activated protoplasts cannot be induced by artefucial agglutination. 相似文献

The gross composition of the outer epidermal cell wall from third internodes of Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska grown in dim red light, and the effect of auxin on that composition, was investigated using interference microscopy. Pea outer epidermal walls contain as much cellulose as typical secondary walls, but the proportion of pectin to hemicellulose resembles that found in primary walls. The pectin and hemicellulose fractions from epidermal peels, which are enriched for outer epidermal wall but contain internal tissue as well, are composed of a much higher percentage of glucose and glucose-related sugars than has been found previously for pea primary walls, similar to non-cellulosic carbohydrate fractions of secondary walls. The epidermal outer wall thus has a composition rather like that of secondary walls, while still being capable of elongation. Auxin induces a massive breakdown of hemicellulose in the outer epidermal wall; nearly half the hemicellulose present is lost during 4 h of growth in the absence of exogenous sugar. The percentage breakdown is much greater than has been seen previously for whole pea stems. It has been proposed that a breakdown of xyloglucan could be the basis for the mechanical loosening of the outer wall. This study provides the first evidence that such a breakdown could be occurring in the outer wall.M.S. Bret-Harte would like to thank Dr. Peter M.

The neutral sugars and amino sugars, released by acid hydrolysis of walls and polysaccharidic fractions, of six species of Talaromyces and the infrared spectra have been used to study their interspecific relationships. In whole cell walls neutral sugars ranged from 23 to 39.6% dry weight and were identified as glucose, galactose and mannose. Glucosamine varied from 8 to 19.8% in the samples. Galactosamine (2% or less) was found in T. emersonii and T. rotundus and no galactosamine in the other species. Sequential fractionation of the cell walls with alkali and acid gave several polysaccharidic fractions. The main differences among species were found in the alkali-soluble fraction at 20° (F1). This fraction represented 8 to 33.2% of the whole cell wall and was characterized as an -glucan in T. bacillisporus, T. emersonii, T. luteus and T. rotundus (Group A) and as a -galactofuranosyl containing glucan in T. ohiensis and T. stipitatus (Group B). The alkali-insoluble residue (F4) represented the bulk of the cell wall in all species tested (33.2% to 57.3%) and was characterized as a -glucan/chitin complex. The results may indicate degrees of interspecific relationship in the genus Talaromyces.Abbreviations CWM

Effect of yeast inoculation rate on the metabolism of contaminating lactobacilli during fermentation of corn mash 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two separate 4 (bacterial concentrations)×6 (yeast concentrations) full factorial experiments were conducted in an attempt to identify a novel approach to minimize the effects caused by bacterial contamination during industrial production of ethanol from corn. Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus paracasei, commonly occurring bacterial contaminants in ethanol plants, were used in separate fermentation experiments conducted in duplicate using an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Allyeast Superstart. Bacterial concentrations were 0, 1×106, 1×107 and 1×108 cells/ml mash. Yeast concentrations were 0, 1×106, 1×107, 2×107, 3×107, and 4×107 cells/ml mash. An increased yeast inoculation rate of 3×107 cells/ml resulted in a greater than 80% decrease (P<0.001) and a greater than 55% decrease (P<0.001) in lactic acid production by L. plantarum and L. paracasei, respectively, when mash was infected with 1×108 lactobacilli/ml. No differences (P>0.25) were observed in the final ethanol concentration produced by yeast at any of the inoculation rates studied, in the absence of lactobacilli. However, when the mash was infected with 1×107 or 1×108 lactobacilli/ml, a reduction of 0.7–0.9% v/v (P<0.005) and a reduction of 0.4–0.6% v/v (P<0.005) in the final ethanol produced was observed in mashes inoculated with 1×106 and 1×107 yeast cells/ml, respectively. At higher yeast inoculation rates of 3×107 or 4×107 cells/ml, no differences (P>0.35) were observed in the final ethanol produced even when the mash was infected with 1×108 lactobacilli/ml. The increase in ethanol corresponded to the reduction in lactic acid production by lactobacilli. This suggests that using an inoculation rate of 3×107 yeast cells/ml reduces the growth and metabolism of contaminating lactic bacteria significantly, which results in reduced lactic acid production and a concomitant increase in ethanol production by yeast. 相似文献

The effect of gibberellic acid (GA) and naphthylacetic acid (NAA) on hypocotyl elongation and cell wall polysaccharides was
studied using Phaseolus vulgaris seedlings grown in light condition. The hypocotyl was demarcated into two segments — one near the root was called lower and
the one near the cotyledon was called upper. The upper segment showed a typical sigmoidal growth curve while lower segment
did not show any growth at all. GA promoted the growth of upper segment while NAA showed clear inhibition in both the segments.
Xyloglucan content showed a clear inverse correlation with growth. Pectic polysaccharides did not show a clear trend, though
showed an initial inverse correlation with growth. It is concluded that degradation of low and high molecular weight xyloglucans
are involved in cell wall loosening which in turn may be responsible for the elongation growth of Phaseolus hypocotyls in light. 相似文献

Summary We report here the isolation of temperature-sensitive mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which exhibit cdc phenotypes. The recessive mutations defined four complementation groups, named ore1, ore2, ore3 and ore4. At the non-permissive temperature, strains bearing these mutations arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The wild-type allele of the gene altered in ore2 mutants was cloned. The nucleotide sequence of a fragment which can complement the mutation showed the presence of an open reading frame capable of encoding a protein with 286 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 25% identity with that of the Escherichia coli 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase, an enzyme of the pathway for the biosynthesis of proline. The ore2 mutants, correspondingly, were found to be capable of growing at the non-permissive temperature on a synthetic medium supplemented with proline. In addition, the chromosomal location of the gene and its restriction map were compatible with those previously reported for the PRO3 gene which encodes the S. cerevisiae 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase. 相似文献

The proteins Ccz1 and Mon1 are known to function together with the Rab-GTPase Ypt7 in membrane fusion reactions at the yeast vacuole. In a genome-wide analysis they have also been found to interact genetically with the nuclear-migration protein Num1. In this study we analyze these synthetic effects and we show that the mutants ccz1Δ num1Δ, mon1Δ num1Δ and ypt7Δ num1Δ exhibit severe defects in cell cycle progression. A large fraction of the mutant cells enter a new cell division cycle without having completed mitotic exit, leading to the accumulation of multinuclear, anuclear and multibudded cells. The double deletion strains display also increased sensitivity to calcium ions. The cell-cycle defects are only weakly observed if deletions of other vacuolar protein sorting genes are combined with num1Δ or if other nuclear-migration genes are deleted together with CCZ1, whereas the calcium sensitivity is characteristic for a large subset of the tested double mutants. Further, the cell-cycle defects of the ccz1Δ num1Δ strain can be partially rescued by overproduction of either the calcium pump Pmc1 or the nuclear-migration factors Kar9 and Bim1. Together, these results indicate that deregulation of the cell cycle in these mutants results from two separate mechanisms, one of which is related to calcium homeostasis. 相似文献
