Cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus G. Don, Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Nicotiana tabacum L. were incubated with [14C]acetate, [14C]oleic acid and [14C]linoleic acid at five different temperatures ranging from 15 to 35° C. When the incubation temperature was increased, [14C]acetate was incorporated preferentially into [14C]palmitate, with a concomitant drop in [14C]oleate formation. Between 15 and 20° C, [14C]oleic acid accumulated in C. roseus cells. In all cultures, optimum desaturation of [14C]oleic acid to [14C]linoleic acid occurred between 20 and 25° C, and in G. max this was also the optimal range for desaturation of [14C]linoleic acid to [14C]linolenic acid. Elongation of [14C]palmitic acid was inhibited when cultures grown at 15° C for 25 h were subsequently incubated with [14C]acetate at 25° C. [14C]oleic acid accumulated in G. max and C. roseus cultures grown at 35° C for 25 h and subsequently incubated at 25° C. Desaturation of [14C]oleic acid increased up to 25° C, but then decreased or leveled off depending on the cell line and on the temperature prior to incubation.  相似文献

The fatty-acid composition of C. roseus and N. tabacum cell suspension cultures was unaffected by subculture on Wood and Braun, Murashige and Skoog, or Gamborg B5C media. However, placing the cultures — which were normally grown at 25° C — at 15° C reduced growth but resulted in enhanced formation of oleic and linolenic acids in C. roseus cultures and increased levels of linoleic and linolenic acids in cultures of G. max and N. tabacum, respectively. The incorporation of [14C]acetate into [14C]linoleic acid was more rapid in N. tabacum cells than in G. max cells, but was very poor in C. roseus where the [14C] label was distributed mainly between palmitic and oleic acids.  相似文献

A sterile glucose-mineral salts broth was inoculated with conidia of Penicillium rubrum P-13 and P-3290. Radiolabeled compounds were added to some cultures, these being incubated quiescently at 28° C for 14 days. Other stationary cultures were grown for 21 days, received labeled compounds, and were then grown for 5 more days. The remaining cultures were inoculated with 72-h-old mycelial pellets, received labeled materials and were incubated with shaking for 60 h. Rubratoxin was resolved by thin-layer chromatography. Labeled [114C]acetate, [1,514C]citrate, [214C]malonate, [114C]glucose, [U14C]glucose or [114C]hexanoate were incorporated into rubratoxins A and B by P. rubrum 3290 and into rubratoxin B by P. rubrum 13. Incorporation of [114C]acetate and [214C]malonate increased when exogenous unlabeled acetate, malonate, pyruvate, or phosphoenol-pyruvate was added. Acetate incorporation was influenced by cultural conditions, attaining maximum amounts in quiescent cultures which received labeled acetate after 21 days of incubation. Acetate incorporation in shake cultures was enhanced by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and by unlabeled exogenous citrate.Abbreviations GMS glucose-mineral salts - RCM replacement culture medium - TCA tricarboxylic acid - PEP phosphoenolpyruvate - RIC relative isotopic content - PI percent incorporation  相似文献

Primary cell wall polysaccharides of some plants carry ester-linked feruloyl groups that can be oxidatively dimerised both within the protoplast and after secretion into the apoplast. Apoplastic dimerisation has been postulated to form inter-polysaccharide cross-links, contributing to wall assembly, but this role remains conjectural. By feeding cultured cells with [14C]cinnamate, we monitored the kinetics of polysaccharide-binding and subsequent dimerisation of 14C-labelled feruloyl groups. Cultured maize and spinach cells took up [14C]cinnamate more rapidly than barley, Arabidopsis, Acer, tomato and rose cultures. Maize and spinach cells rapidly formed [14C]feruloyl-polysaccharides and, simultaneously, low-Mr [14C]feruloyl esters. When all free [14C]cinnamate had been consumed, there followed a gradual recruitment of radiolabel from the low-Mr pool into the polysaccharide fraction. A proportion of the [14C]feruloyl-polysaccharides was sloughed into the culture medium, the rest remaining wall-bound. Some of the polysaccharide-bound [14C]feruloyl groups were coupled to form dehydrodiferulates. At least six putative isomers of [14C]dehydrodiferulate were formed both rapidly (thus intra-protoplasmically) and gradually (thus mainly apoplastically). These data do not support the hypothesis that intra-protoplasmic dimerisation yields predominantly one isomer (8–5′-dehydrodiferulate). In maize, apoplastic coupling was much more extensive in 7-day old than in 2-day-old cultures; indeed, in 2-day-old cultures apoplastic coupling could not be evoked even by exogenous H2O2, suggesting strong control of peroxidase action by apoplastic factors. When apoplastic coupling was minimised by exogenous application of peroxidase-blockers (iodide, dithiothreitol and cysteine), a higher proportion of the secreted [14C]feruloyl-polysaccharides was sloughed into the medium. This observation lends support to the hypothesis that feruloyl coupling contributes to wall assembly.  相似文献

The biosynthesis of myo-inositol (MI) and its role as a precursor of cell-wall polysaccharides was studied in supension cultures of wild carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells. Suspension cultures, grown in the presence or absence of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid for 7 and 14d were incubated with [U-14C]glucose and [2-3H]MI in the presence of different concentrations of unlabeled MI. Synthesis of [14C]MI from [U-14C]glucose occurred under all conditions. The amount of MI synthesized from glucose was sharply reduced when 10 mM MI was provided in the medium. Substantial quantities of 3H were incorporated in arabinose, xylose and galacturonic acid isolated and purified from the cell-wall polysaccharides of the cell cultures in various stages of growth or embryogenesis. No 3H was present in the glucose or galactose units of cell-wall polysaccharides. At the four stages of growth and states of development of the carrot cultures used, the MI oxidation pathway contributed to the synthesis of pentosyl and galacturonosyl units of the cell wall. However, the data indicate that the contribution of the MI oxidation pathway to pentosyl and galacturonosyl units is small.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - MI myo-inositol  相似文献

Heterotrophic cell suspension cultures of soya (Glycine max) and photomixotrophic cell suspension cultures of rape (Brassica napus) were incubated with cis-9-[1-14C]octadecenol for 3–48 h. It was found that under aerobic conditions large proportions of the alcohol are oxidized to oleic acid, which is incorporated predominantly into phospholipids, whereas up to 30% of the substrate is esterified to wax esters. This is true for both the heterotrophic and the photomixotrophic cell suspension cultures, but the metabolic rates are much higher in the latter. Under anaerobic conditions only small proportions of the radioactively labeled alcohol are oxidized to oleic acid, whereas a major portion of the alcohol is esterified to wax esters both in heterotrophic and photomixotrophic cultures. Incubations of homogenates of photomixotrophic rape cells with labeled cis-9-octadecenol showed that pH 6 is optimum for the formation of wax esters. This monounsaturated alcohol is preferred as a substrate over saturated longchain alcohols, whereas short-chain alcohols, cholesterol, and glycerol are not acylated. Incubations of an enzyme concentrate from a homogenate of rape cells with unlabeled cis-9-octadecenol and [1-14C]oleic acid, or [1-14C]stearoyl-CoA, or di[1-14C]palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine showed that acylation of the longchain alcohol proceeds predominantly through acyl-CoA. Direct esterification of the alcohol with fatty acid as well as acyl transfer from diacylglycerophosphocholine could be demonstrated to occur to a much smaller extent.  相似文献

Growth in salt-stressed (2.0 M NaCl) Aphanothece halophytica was initially delayed during the first two days of cultivation and eventually attained the same growth rate as the control (0.5 M NaCl) cells. Glycinebetaine accumulation increased slightly in control cells but a dramatic increase of glycinebetaine occurred in salt-stressed cells during a growth period of six days. There was no apparent increase in the synthesis of [14C] glycinebetaine in the control cells, in contrast to the marked increase in its synthesis in the salt-stressed cells. Increasing NaCl concentration in the growth medium induced both the accumulation and the synthesis of glycinebetaine. Time course experiments provided evidence that [14C] choline was first oxidized to [14C] betaine aldehyde which was further oxidized to [14C] glycinebetaine in A. halophytica. The supporting data for such a pathway were obtained from the presence of choline and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase activities found in the membrane and cytoplasmic fractions, respectively. The activities of these two enzymes were also enhanced upon increasing NaCl concentration in the growth medium from 0.5 M to 2.0 M. Under this condition an increaseof approximately 1.5-fold was observed for choline dehydrogenase activity as compared to 2.5-fold for betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase activity, suggesting a preferable induction of the latter enzyme by salt stress. A. halophytica was able to utilize [14C] ethanolamine and [14C] glycine for the synthesis of [14C] glycinebetaine. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Various solutions of labeled precursors were absorbed by the cotyledons of etiolated Euphorbia lathyris L. seedlings. Incorporation of 14C into triterpenes from [2-14C]mevalonic acid, [1-14C]acetate, [3-14C]pyruvate, [U-14C]glyoxylate, [U-14C]glycerol, [U-14C]serine, [U-14C]xylose, [U-14C]glucose, and [U-14C]sucrose was obtained. The [14] triterpenes synthesized from [14C] sugars were mainly of latex origin. [14C]mevalonic acid was only involved in terpenoid synthesis outside the laticifers. Exogenously supplied glyoxylate, serine, and glycerol were hardly involved in lipid synthesis at all. The 14C-distribution over the various triterpenols was consistent with the mass distribution of these constituents in gas liquid chromatography when [14C]sugars, [14C]acetate, and [14C]pyruvate were used. These precursors were supplied to the seedlings in the presence of increasing amounts of unlabeled substrates. The amount of substrate directly involved in lipid synthesis as well as the absolute triterpenol yield was calculated from the obtained [14C]triterpenols. The highest yield was obtained in the sucrose incorporated seedlings, being 25% of the daily increase of latex triterpenes in growing seedlings.  相似文献

Studies on the biosynthesis of coenzyme F420 in methanogenic bacteria   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Coenzyme F420 is a 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin present in methanogenic bacteria. We have investigated whether the pyrimidine ring of the deazaflavin originates from guanine as in flavin biosynthesis, in which the pyrimidine ring of guanine is conserved. For this purpose the incorporation of [2-14C]guanine and of [8-14C]guanine into F420 by growing cultures of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was studied. Only in the case of [2-14C]guanine did F420 become labeled. The specific radioactivity of the deazaflavin and of guanine isolated from nucleic acids of [2-14C]guanine grown cells were identical. This finding suggests that the pyrimidine ring of the deazaflavin and of flavins are synthesized by the same pathway.F420 did not become labeled when M. thermoautotrophicum was grown in the presence of methyl-[14C] methionine, [U-14C]phenylalanine or [U-14C]tyrosine. This excludes that C-5 of the deazaflavin is derived from the methyl group of methionine and that the benzene ring comes from phenylalanine or tyrosine.  相似文献

Summary The patterns of hyoscyamine and proline accumulation were studied in Agrobacterium-transformed ‘hairy root’ cultures of Hyoscyamus muticus to determine if proline is a metabolic precursor of hyoscyamine. Root cultures were stressed osmotically with mannitol and the subsequent growth, hyoscyamine levels, and proline levels were measured after each transfer to fresh experimental medium for a total of four transfers. H. muticus ‘hairy roots’ were also treated with [U-14C] proline or [1,4-14C] putrescine and analyzed for radioactive hyoscyamine. Growth of ‘hairy root’ cultures was reduced by up to 90% in 0.4 M mannitol, and this inhibition persisted for at least four transfers. ‘Hairy root’ cultures of H. muticus accumulated hyoscyamine and free proline (up to 6-fold and 25-fold, respectively) when osmotically stressed with mannitol, and this effect also persisted for four transfers when grown in the same mannitol concentration. Because the total production of hyoscyamine was also increased by twofold, we conclude that the elevated hyoscyamine concentration results from increased hyoscyamine synthesis and not from reduced growth. H. muticus ‘hairy roots’ incorporated radioactivity from [1,4-14C] putrescine efficiently into hyoscyamine in both treatments, but failed to convert [U-14C] proline into hyoscyamine. We thus conclude that accumulated proline does not serve as a precursor for hyoscyamine.  相似文献

Incorporation of ethanol (1.0 or 1.25 M) into exponential-phase cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 366 growing anaerobically in a medium supplemented with ergosterol and an unsaturated fatty acid caused a retardation in growth rate, which was greater when the medium contained oleic rather than linoleic acid. Ethanol incorporation led to an immediate drop in growth rate, and ethanol-containing cultures grew at the slower rate for at least 10 h. Incorporation of ethanol (0.5 M) into buffered (pH 4.5) cell suspensions containing d-[6-3H] glucose, d-[1-14C] glucosamine, l-[U-14C] lysine or arginine, or KH2 32PO4 lowered the rate of solute accumulation by cells. Rates of accumulation of glucose, lysine and arginine were retarded to a greater extent when cells had been grown in the presence of oleic rather than linoleic acid. This difference was not observed with accumulation of phosphate. Ethanol was extracted from exponential-phase cells by four different methods. Cells grown in the presence of linoleic acid contained a slightly, but consistently, lower concentration of ethanol than cells grown in oleic acid-containing medium. The ethanol concentration in cells was 5–7 times greater than that in the cell-free medium.  相似文献

Free N-acetylsialic acid (NeuNAc) and CMP-N-acetylsialic acids (CMP-NeuNAc) are extracted from freeze-clamped or liquid nitrogen-frozen biological material by sequential extraction with cold acetone and acetone/water. [14C]NeuNAc and [14C]CMP-NeuNAc (20,000 dpm each) are added to the frozen material to correct for small losses occurring during the subsequent steps. NeuNAc and CMP-NeuNAc are separated by anion-exchange chromatography. CMP-NeuNAc is hydrolyzed with formic acid and again chromatographed on an ion-exchange column. The NeuNAc-containing fractions (representing free NeuNAc and CMP-NeuNAc) are converted to [14C]CMP-NeuNAc in the presence of [14C]CTP and CMP-NeuNAc synthetase. [14C]CMP-NeuNAc is separated by paper chromatography and the radioactivity measured by liquid scintillation counting. The amount of NeuNAc is calculated from a calibration curve obtained with NeuNAc standards. The small amounts of [14C]NeuNAc and [14C]CMP-NeuNAc added initially do not interfere with the final assay. The method gives reliable values down to 50 pmol/assay, but the sensitivity can be easily increased by a factor of 10. Recoveries, with NeuNAc and CMP-NeuNAc added to biological extracts, were 98.3 and 98.5% for NeuNAc and CMP-NeuNAc, respectively. With this method values of 61.2 ± 12.8 and 24.4 ± 5.2 nmol/g wet wt were found in rat liver for free NeuNAc and CMP-NeuNAc, respectively. Values for free NeuNAc found in human blood plasma were 600 ± 476 and 373 ± 180 pmol/g plasma for healthy persons and patients with breast cancer, respectively. Free CMP-NeuNAc could not be found in plasma.  相似文献

The aim of this work was to discover how leucoplasts from suspension cultures of soybean (Glycine max L.) oxidize hexose monophosphates. Leucoplasts were isolated from protoplast lysates on a continuous gradient of Nycodenz with a yield of 28% and an intactness of 80%. Incubation of the leucoplasts with 14C-labelled substrates led to 14CO2 production, that was dependent upon leucoplast intactness, from [U-14C]glucose 6-phosphate, [U-14C]glucose 1-phosphate, [U-14C] fructose 6-phosphate and [U-14C]glucose+ATP, but not from [U-14C]fructose-1,6-bisphosphate or [U-14C]triose phosphate. The yield from [U-14C]glucose 6-phosphate was at least four times greater than that from any of the other substrates. When [1-14C]-, [2-14C]-, [3,4-14C]-, and [6-14C]glucose 6-phosphate were supplied to leucoplasts significant 14CO2 production that was dependent upon leucoplast intactness was found only for [1-14C]glucose 6-phosphate. It is argued that soybean cell leucoplasts oxidize glucose 6-phosphate via the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway with very little recycling, and that in these plastids glycolysis to acetyl CoA is negligible.S.A.C. thanks the Science and Engineering Research Council for a research studentship.  相似文献

The degradation rate of [synthetic-14C]-lignin to 14CO2 by Phanerochaete chrysosporium in cultures buffered with 0.01 M 2,2-dimethylsuccinate (DMS) was twice that in 0.01 M o-phthalate-buffered cultures. This difference could be totally accounted for by o-phthalate inhibition of the activity of the ligninolytic system. 14CO2 production from ring-, sidechain-, and methoxyl-labeled lignins was inhibited, the degree of inhibition being dependent on o-phthalate concentration. Oxidations of 14C-glucose, 14C-acetovanillone, and 14C-apocynol were not inhibited; thus o-phthalate is not a general inhibitor, and might inhibit activities involved in attack of the lignin polymer. DMS is a suitable buffer for the ligninolytic system. Degradation rates of ring-labeled lignin to 14CO2 of 10–15% in 24 h were obtained consistently over the pH range 3.6–4.5, with an optimum near pH 4.0.Non-Standard Abbreviations DMS dimethylsuccinate  相似文献

Summary High perfomance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the products of [5-3H] tryptophan metabolism byFrankia sp. Avc I1 indicates that small amounts of [3H] indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are excreted into the growth medium.Frankia has a limited capacity for the catabolism of [2-14C]IAA and the product that accumulates is different from that detected inRhizobium japonicum cultures following inoculation with [2-14C]IAA. The data imply that the rate of turnover of IAA is much more rapid inRhizobium thanFrankia and that the two organisms employ different routes for the catabolism of IAA.  相似文献

The progeny of Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) grown in ricin-resistant 14 cells (RicR14) lackingN-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I was released in the extracellular medium at a very low rate. By using a monoclonal antibody immobilized on Sepharose we purified from HSV-1-infected RicR14 cells a viral glycoprotein (gC), which carries bothN-andO-linked oligosaccharides. Glycopeptides obtained from [3H]mannoselabeled gC by Pronase digestion were entirely susceptible to endo--N-acetylglucosaminidase H, and the major oligosaccharide released was Man4GlcNAc. The accumulation of this high-mannose species was related to the enzymic defect of the host cells and to the long retention of the viral glycoprotein within the cells. The extent ofO-glycosylation evaluated in [14C]glucosamine-labeled gC from RicR14 cells as compared to that of gC from wild type cells did not appear to be significantly modified.Abbreviations Con A concanavalin A - BHK cells baby hamster kidney cells - HSV Herpes simplex virus  相似文献

Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been used to identify indole-3-ethanol (IEt) in a purified extract from needles of Pinus sylvestris L. Quantitative estimates obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, corrected for samples losses occurring during purification, indicate that Pinus needles contain 46±4 ng g-1 IEt. This compares with 24.5±6.5 ng g-1 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 2.3±0.4 ng g-1 indole-3-carboxylic acid (ICA) (Sandberg et al. 1984, Phytochemistry, 23, 99–102). Metabolism studies with needles incubated in a culture medium in darkness revealed that both [3-14C]-tryptophan and [2-14C]tryptamine mine are converted to [14C]IEt. It was also shown that [3-14C]IEt acted as a precursor of [14C]IAA. The observed metabolism appears to be enzymic in nature. The [2-14C]IAA was not catabolised to [14C]ICA in detectable quantities implying that, at best, only a minor portion of the endogenous ICA pool in the Pinus needles originates from IAA.Abbreviations DEAE diethylaminoethyl - GC-MS gas chromatography-mass spectrometry - HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - ICA indole-3-carboxylic acid - IEt indole-3-ethanol - PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone  相似文献

The relationship between the synthesis and accumulation of protein and capsaicin was investigated in cultured cells of Capsicum frutescens Mill. cv. annuum immobilized in reticulate polyurethane. Cells were cultured in media containing reduced concentrations of essential nutrients, in an attempt to manipulate the rates of protein synthesis. Cells cultured in the absence of orthophosphate for 7 d demonstrated no reduction in the incorporation of l-[U-14C]phenylalanine into soluble protein or an increase in incorporation into capsaicin, compared with controls supplied with orthophosphate. By day 15 of culture, however, a differential incorporation of label was observed. Over a 21-d culture period the intracellular phosphate did not completely disappear. Cells cultured in the absence of nitrate and phosphate combined, however, exhibited some reduction in incorporation of [14C]phenylalanine into protein and an increased incorporation into capsaicin after 7 d of culture, but the differences were greater at day 15, when increases in the total capsaicin content of the cultures were apparent. There was observed a relationship between the intracellular nitrate concentration, the culture growth index, and the incorporation of [14C]phenylalanine into soluble protein — each of these factors was inversely related to the incorporation of label into capsaicin and the total capsaicin content of the cultures.Abbreviations HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography - Phe phenylalanine  相似文献

Culture conditions of Leishmania cells were developed to allow the study of the effect of tunicamycin (TM) on glycosylation and on the cell surface components. Leishmania incorporate [14C]-mannose and [35S]-methionine in vitro. The incorporation of [14C]-mannose is linear for 150 min and is inhibited by TM (2 g/ml) in a time dependent effect which reaches a plateau of 45% inhibition at 36 h. Under the same experimental conditions [35S]-methionine incorporation into protein is slightly affected. This is reflected by an almost identical polypeptide pattern for TM treated and non-treated cells when analyzed on SDS-PAGE. On the contrary, strong differences were detected on the labeled compounds analyzed on SDS-PAGE followed by autoradiography when the precursor used was [14C]-mannose. A shift in the electrophoretic mobility of most of the glycopeptides synthesized in the presence of TM was observed, which is also reflected in the structure of the main Leishmania cell surface components.The findings are discussed in the light of biological implications.  相似文献

Microbial mats which lack cyanobacteria occur at 50° to 65° C in the sulfide-containing Mammoth Springs of Yellowstone National Park. The principal organisms within these mats are filamentous bacteria which resemble Chloroflexus aurantiacus. The incorporation of [14C]-HCO 3 - into mat material depended upon both light and sulfide, and was not inhibited when complete natural light was replaced with far-red and infra-red radiation. [14C]-acetate was incorporated in a light-dependent reaction which was stimulated by, but did not require, sulfide. In situ experiments with microelectrodes demonstrated net sulfide uptake by the mat in the light, and net sulfide production by the mat in the dark, suggesting the operation of a sulfur cycle.Filamentous phototrophic bacteria isolated from the mat were incapable of sustained growth in the presence of O2.Simultaneous exposure of cultures to light and O2 caused degradation of bacteriochlorophyll c. The stimulation of light-dependent [14C]-HCO 3 - -uptake by sulfide was more pronounced in these isolates than in strains of Chloroflexus aurantiacus.  相似文献
