Microsomal vesicles from 24-hour-old radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings accumulate Ca2+ upon addition of MgATP. MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake co-migrates with the plasma membrane H+-ATPase on a sucrose gradient. Ca2+ uptake is insensitive to oligomycin, inhibited by vanadate (IC50 40 micromolar) and erythrosin B (IC50 0.2 micromolar) and displays a pH optimum between pH 6.6 and 6.9. MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake is insensitive to protonophores. These results indicate that Ca2+ transport in these microsomal vesicles is catalyzed by a Mg2+-dependent ATPase localized on the plasma membrane. Ca2+ strongly reduces ΔpH generation by the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and increases MgATP-dependent membrane potential difference (Δψ) generation. These effects of Ca2+ on ΔpH and Δψ generation are drastically reduced by micromolar erythrosin B, indicating that they are primarily a consequence of Ca2+ uptake into plasma membrane vesicles. The Ca2+-induced increase of Δψ is collapsed by permeant anions, which do not affect Ca2+-induced decrease of ΔpH generation by the plasma membrane H+-ATPase. The rate of decay of MgATP-dependent ΔpH, upon inhibition of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, is accelerated by MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake, indicating that the decrease of ΔpH generation induced by Ca2+ reflects the efflux of H+ coupled to Ca2+ uptake into plasma membrane vesicles. It is therefore proposed that Ca2+ transport at the plasma membrane is mediated by a Mg2+-dependent ATPase which catalyzes a nH+/Ca2+ exchange.  相似文献

We have tested directly the effect of Helminthosporium maydis T (Hmt) toxin and various analogs on the membrane potential formed in mitochondria isolated from a Texas (T) cytoplasmic male-sterile and a normal (N) corn. ATP, malate or succinate generated a membrane potential (negative inside) as monitored by the absorbance change of a cationic dye, safranine. The relative membrane potential (Δψ) could also be detected indirectly as 45Ca2+ uptake. Hmt toxin added to T mitochondria dissipated the steady state Δψ similar to addition of a protonophore, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Toxin analogs (Cpd XIII: C41H68O12 and Cpd IV: C25H44O6), reduced native toxin (RT2C: C41H84O13) and Pm toxin (band A: C33H60O8, produced by the fungus, Phyllosticta maydis) were effective in dissipating Δψ and decreasing Ca2+ uptake with the following order: Pm (100) » HmT (23-30) > Cpd XIII (11-25) » RT2C (0-4−1.8) > Cpd IV (0.2−1.0). In contrast, the toxins and analogs had no effect on Δψ formed in N mitochondria. The striking similarities of the HmT toxin (band 1: C41H68O13) and Cpd XIII on T mitochondrial activities provide strong evidence supporting the correctness of the polyketol structure assigned to the native toxin. Since the Δψ in energized mitochondria is caused mainly by the electrogenic extrusion of H+, the results support the idea that HmT toxin increases membrane permeability of T mitochondria to H+. The host specificity of the toxin suggests that an interaction with unique target site(s) on the inner mitochondrial membrane of T corn causes H+ leakage.  相似文献

Transplasmalemma redox activity, monitored in the presence of exogenous ferricyanide stimulates net H+ excretion and inhibits the uptake of K+ and α-aminoisobutyric acid by freshly cut or washed, apical and subapical root segments of corn (Zea mays L. cv “Seneca Chief”). H+ excretion is seen only following a lag of about 5 minutes after ferricyanide addition, even though the reduction of ferricyanide occurs before 5 minutes and continues linearly. Once detected, the enhanced rate of H+ excretion is retarded by the ATPase inhibitors N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diethylstilbestrol, and vanadate. A model is presented in which plasmalemma redox activity in the presence of ferricyanide involves the transport only of electrons across the plasmalemma, resulting in a depolarization of the membrane potential and activation of an H+-ATPase. Such a model implies that this class of redox activity does not provide an additional and independent pathway for H+ transport, but that the activity may be an important regulator of H+ excretion. The 90% inhibition of K+ (86Rb+) uptake within 2 minutes after ferricyanide addition can be contrasted with the 5 to 15% inhibition of uptake of α-aminoisobutyric acid. The possibility exists that a portion of the K+ and most of the α-aminoisobutyric acid uptake inhibitions are related to the ferricyanide-induced depolarization of the membrane potential, but that the redox state of some component of the K+ uptake system may also regulate K+ fluxes.  相似文献

Mg:ATP-dependent H+ pumping has been studied in microsomal vesicles from 24-hour-old radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings by monitoring both intravesicular acidification and the building up of an inside positive membrane potential difference (Δ ψ). ΔpH was measured as the decrease of absorbance of Acridine orange and Δ ψ as the shift of absorbance of bis(3-propyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl)pentamethine oxonol. Both Mg:ATP-dependent Δ pH and Δ ψ generation are completely inhibited by vanadate and insensitive to oligomycin; moreover, Δ pH generation is not inhibited by NO3. These findings indicate that this membrane preparation is virtually devoid of mitochondrial and tonoplast H+-ATPases. Both intravesicular acidification and Δ ψ generation are influenced by anions: Δ pH increases and Δ ψ decreases following the sequence SO42−, Cl, Br, NO3. ATP-dependent H+ pumping strictly requires Mg2+. It is very specific for ATP (apparent Km 0.76 millimolar) compared to GTP, UTP, CTP, ITP. Δ pH generation is inhibited by CuSO4 and diethylstilbestrol as well as vanadate. Δ pH generation is specificially stimulated by K+ (+ 80%) and to a lesser extent by Na+ and choline (+28% and +14%, respectively). The characteristics of H+ pumping in these microsomal vesicles closely resemble those described for the plasma membrane ATPase partially purified from several plant materials.  相似文献

Studies of the Uptake of Nitrate in Barley : IV. Electrophysiology   总被引:17,自引:5,他引:12       下载免费PDF全文
Transmembrane electrical potential differences (Δψ) of epidermal and cortical cells were measured in intact roots of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Klondike). The effects of exogenous NO3 on Δψ (in the concentration range from 100 micromolar to 20 millimolar) were investigated to probe the mechanisms of nitrate uptake by the high-affinity (HATS) and low-affinity (LATS) transport systems for NO3 uptake. Both transport systems caused depolarization of Δψ, demonstrating that the LATS (like the HATS) for NO3 uptake is probably mediated by an electrogenic cation (H+?) cotransport system. Membrane depolarization by the HATS was “inducible” by NO3, and saturable with respect to exogenous [NO3]. By contrast, depolarization by the LATS was constitutive, and first-order in response to external [NO3]. H+ fluxes, measured in 200 micromolar and in 5 millimolar Ca(NO3)2 solutions, failed to alkalinize external media as anticipated for a 2 H+:1 NO3 symport. However, switching from K2SO4 solutions (which were strongly acidifying) to KNO3 solutions at the same K+ concentration caused marked reductions in H+ efflux. These observations are consistent with NO3 uptake by the HATS and the LATS via 2 H+:1 NO3 symports. These observations establish that the HATS for nitrate uptake by barley roots is essentially similar to those reported for Lemna and Zea mays by earlier workers. There are, nevertheless, distinct differences between barley and corn in their quantitative responses to external NO3.  相似文献

The mechanism of hexose transport into plasma membrane vesicles isolated from mature sugarbeet leaves (Beta vulgaris L.) was investigated. The initial rate of glucose uptake into the vesicles was stimulated approximately fivefold by imposing a transmembrane pH gradient (ΔpH), alkaline inside, and approximately fourfold by a negative membrane potential (ΔΨ), generated as a K+-diffusion potential, negative inside. The -fold stimulation was directly related to the relative ΔpH or ΔΨ gradient imposed, which were determined by the uptake of acetate or tetraphenylphosphonium, respectively. ΔΨ- and ΔpH-dependent glucose uptake showed saturation kinetics with a Km of 286 micromolar for glucose. Other hexose molecules (e.g. 2-deoxy-d-glucose, 3-O-methyl-d-glucose, and d-mannose) were also accumulated into plasma membrane vesicles in a ΔpH-dependent manner. Inhibition constants of a number of compounds for glucose uptake were determined. Effective inhibitors of glucose uptake included: 3-O-methyl-d-glucose, 5-thio-d-glucose, d-fructose, d-galactose, and d-mannose, but not 1-O-methyl-d-glucose, d- and l-xylose, l-glucose, d-ribose, and l-sorbose. Under all conditions of proton motive force magnitude and glucose and sucrose concentration tested, there was no effect of sucrose on glucose uptake. Thus, hexose transport on the sugarbeet leaf plasma membrane was by a H+-hexose symporter, and the carrier and possibly the energy source were not shared by the plasma membrane H+-sucrose symporter.  相似文献

Potential-dependent anion movement into tonoplast vesicles from oat roots (Avena sativa L. var Lang) was monitored as dissipation of membrane potentials (Δψ) using the fluorescence probe Oxonol V. The potentials (positive inside) were generated with the H+-pumping pyrophosphatase, which is K+ stimulated and anion insensitive. The relative rate of ΔΨ dissipation by anions was used to estimate the relative permeabilities of the anions. In decreasing order they were: SCN (100) > NO3 (72) = Cl (70) > Br (62) > SO42− (5) = H2PO4 (5) > malate (3) = acetate (3) > iminodiacetate (2). Kinetic studies showed that the rate of Δψ dissipation by Cl and NO3, but not by SCN, was saturable. The Km values for Cl and NO3 uptake were about 2.3 and 5 millimolar, respectively, suggesting these anions move into the vacuole through proteinaceous porters. In contrast to a H+-coupled Cl transporter on the same vesicles, the potential-dependent Cl transport was insensitive to 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-stilbene disulfonate. These results suggest the existence of at least two different mechanisms for Cl transport in these vesicles. The potentials generated by the H+-translocating ATPase and H+-pyrophosphatase were nonadditive, giving support to the model that both pumps are on tonoplast vesicles. No evidence for a putative Cl conductance on the anion-sensitive H+-ATPase was found.  相似文献

In aerobic microorganisms, the entry point of respiratory electron transfer is represented by the NADH:quinone oxidoreductase. The enzyme couples the oxidation of NADH with the reduction of quinone. In the type 1 NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Ndh1), this reaction is accompanied by the translocation of cations, such as H+ or Na+. In Escherichia coli, cation translocation is accomplished by the subunit NuoL, thus generating membrane potential (Δψ). Some microorganisms achieve NADH oxidation by the alternative, nonelectrogenic type 2 NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Ndh2), which is not cation translocating. Since these enzymes had not been described in Staphylococcus aureus, the goal of this study was to identify proteins operating in the NADH:quinone segment of its respiratory chain. We demonstrated that Ndh2 represents a NADH:quinone oxidoreductase in S. aureus. Additionally, we identified a hypothetical protein in S. aureus showing sequence similarity to the proton-translocating subunit NuoL of complex I in E. coli: the NuoL-like protein MpsA. Mutants with deletion of the nuoL-like gene mpsA and its corresponding operon, mpsABC (mps for membrane potential-generating system), exhibited a small-colony-variant-like phenotype and were severely affected in Δψ and oxygen consumption rates. The MpsABC proteins did not confer NADH oxidation activity. Using an Na+/H+ antiporter-deficient E. coli strain, we could show that MpsABC constitute a cation-translocating system capable of Na+ transport. Our study demonstrates that MpsABC represent an important functional system of the respiratory chain of S. aureus that acts as an electrogenic unit responsible for the generation of Δψ.  相似文献

Proton motive force during growth of Streptococcus lactis cells   总被引:38,自引:20,他引:18       下载免费PDF全文
Experiments with the aerotolerant anaerobe Streptococcus lactis provide the opportunity for determining the proton motive force (Δp) in dividing cells. The two components of Δp, ΔΨ (the transmembrane potential) and ΔpH (the chemical gradient of H+), were determined by the accumulation of radiolabeled tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) and benzoate ions. The ΔΨ was calibrated with the K+ diffusion potential in starved, valinomycin-treated cells. With resting, glycolyzing cells, the Δp was measured also by the accumulation of the non-metabolizable sugar thiomethyl-β-galactoside (TMG). In resting cells the Δp, calculated either by adding ΔΨ and ZΔpH or from the levels of TMG, was relatively constant between pH 5 to 7, decreasing from 160 to 150 mV and decreasing further to 100 mV at pH 8.0. With the TPP+ probe for ΔΨ, we confirmed our previous finding that the K+ ions dissipate ΔΨ and increase ΔpH, whereas Na+ ions have little effect on ΔΨ and no effect on ΔpH. [3H]TPP+ and [14C]benzoate were added during exponential phase to S. lactis cells growing at pH 5 to 7 at 28°C in a defined medium with glucose as energy source. As with resting cells, the ΔpH and ΔΨ were dependent on the pH of the medium. At pH 5.1, the ΔpH was equivalent to 60 mV (alkaline inside) and decreased to 25 mV at pH 6.8. The ΔΨ increased from 83 mV (negative inside) at pH 5.1 to 108 mV at pH 6.8. The Δp, therefore, was fairly constant between pH 5 and 7, decreasing from 143 to 133 mV. The values for Δp in growing cells, just as in resting cells, are consistent with a system in which the net efflux of H+ ions is effected by a membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase and glycolytically generated adenosine triphosphate. The data suggest that in both growing and resting cells the pH of the medium and its K+ concentration are the two principal factors that determine the relative contribution of ΔpH and ΔΨ to the proton motive force.  相似文献

The large inner membrane electrochemical driving force and restricted volume of the matrix confer unique constraints on mitochondrial ion transport. Cation uptake along with anion and water movement induces swelling if not compensated by other processes. For mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, these include activation of countertransporters (Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and Na+/H+ exchanger) coupled to the proton gradient, ultimately maintained by the proton pumps of the respiratory chain, and Ca2+ binding to matrix buffers. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is known to affect both the Ca2+ uptake rate and the buffering reaction, but the role of anion transport in determining mitochondrial Ca2+ dynamics is poorly understood. Here we simultaneously monitor extra- and intra-mitochondrial Ca2+ and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) to examine the effects of anion transport on mitochondrial Ca2+ flux and buffering in Pi-depleted guinea pig cardiac mitochondria. Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake proceeded slowly in the absence of Pi but matrix free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]mito) still rose to ∼50 μm. Pi (0.001–1 mm) accelerated Ca2+ uptake but decreased [Ca2+]mito by almost 50% while restoring ΔΨm. Pi-dependent effects on Ca2+ were blocked by inhibiting the phosphate carrier. Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake rate was also increased by vanadate (Vi), acetate, ATP, or a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog (AMP-PNP), with differential effects on matrix Ca2+ buffering and ΔΨm recovery. Interestingly, ATP or AMP-PNP prevented the effects of Pi on Ca2+ uptake. The results show that anion transport imposes an upper limit on mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and modifies the [Ca2+]mito response in a complex manner.  相似文献

Experiments were undertaken in order to test the mechanism of energy coupling for amino acid uptake proposed in the cotransport hypothesis. According to the hypothesis an electrochemical potential difference in H+ is established by active H+ extrusion. That potential difference then drives the cotransport of H+ and amino acids into the cells. Application of amino acids to oat (Avena sativa var. Victory) coleoptiles induced transient depolarizations of the cell membrane electrical potentials considered to reflect the joint uptake of H+ and amino acids followed by an enhanced H+ extrusion. In the presence of KCN, cysteine induced strong depolarizations, but the rate of repolarization depended linearly upon the cyanide-adjusted ATP level of the tissue. At an ATP level 44% of normal, the membrane potential was 74% of normal, but the repolarization after cysteine-induced depolarization was practically nil. Sudden transitions from room temperature to temperatures below 15° C induced sharp depolarizations of the membrane which then repolarized within 3 min; the ATP content of the tissues was unaffected. Cysteine and alanine induced strong depolarizations at temperatures between 5 and 25°C, and the Q10 for the rate of depolarization was 1.5 for cysteine and 1.6 for alanine. The Q10 for the rate of repolarization was 3.0 for cysteine and 2.0 for alanine. These experiments support the prevailing view that the depolarizations are caused by the passive joint influx of H+ and amino acids and that the repolarizations depend upon the ATP-dependent extrusion of H+.  相似文献

SLC17A1 protein (NPT1) is the first identified member of the SLC17 phosphate transporter family and mediates the transmembrane cotransport of Na+/Pi in oocytes. Although this protein is believed to be a renal polyspecific anion exporter, its transport properties are not well characterized. Here, we show that proteoliposomes containing purified SLC17A1 transport various organic anions such as p-aminohippuric acid and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) in an inside positive membrane potential (Δψ)-dependent manner. We found that NPT1 also transported urate. The uptake characteristics were similar to that of SLC17 members in its Cl dependence and inhibitor sensitivity. When arginine 138, an essential amino acid residue for members of the SLC17 family such as the vesicular glutamate transporter, was specifically mutated to alanine, the resulting mutant protein was inactive in Δψ-dependent anion transport. Heterologously expressed and purified human NPT1 carrying the single nucleotide polymorphism mutation that is associated with increased risk of gout in humans exhibited 32% lower urate transport activity compared with the wild type protein. These results strongly suggested that NPT1 is a Cl-dependent polyspecific anion exporter involved in urate excretion under physiological conditions.  相似文献

The ATP-inhibited Plant Mitochondrial K+ Channel (PmitoKATP) was discovered about fifteen years ago in Durum Wheat Mitochondria (DWM). PmitoKATP catalyses the electrophoretic K+ uniport through the inner mitochondrial membrane; moreover, the co-operation between PmitoKATP and +/H+ antiporter allows such a great operation of a K+ cycle to collapse mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) and ΔpH, thus impairing protonmotive force (Δp). A possible physiological role of such ΔΨ control is the restriction of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) production under environmental/oxidative stress conditions. Interestingly, DWM lacking Δp were found to be nevertheless fully coupled and able to regularly accomplish ATP synthesis; this unexpected behaviour makes necessary to recast in some way the classical chemiosmotic model. In the whole, PmitoKATP may oppose to large scale ROS production by lowering ΔΨ under environmental/oxidative stress, but, when stress is moderate, this occurs without impairing ATP synthesis in a crucial moment for cell and mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Calcium is sequestered into vacuoles of oat (Avena sativa L.) root cells via a H+/Ca2+ antiporter, and vesicles derived from the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) catalyze an uptake of calcium which is dependent on protons (pH gradient [ΔpH] dependent). The first step toward purification and identification of the H+/Ca2+ antiporter is to solubilize and reconstitute the transport activity in liposomes. The vacuolar H+/Ca2+ antiporter was solubilized with octylglucoside in the presence of soybean phospholipids and glycerol. After centrifugation, the soluble proteins were reconstituted into liposomes by detergent dilution. A ΔpH (acid inside) was generated in the proteoliposomes with an NH4Cl gradient (NH4+in » NH4+out) as determined by methylamine uptake. Fundamental properties of ΔpH dependent calcium uptake such as the Km for calcium (~15 micromolar) and the sensitivity to inhibitors such as N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, ruthenium red, and lanthanum, were similar to those found in membrane vesicles, indicating that the H+/Ca2+ antiporter has been reconstituted in active form.  相似文献

Salinity-induced alterations in tomato (Lypersicon esculentum Mill. cv Heinz 1350) root plasma membrane properties were studied and characterized using a membrane vesicle system. Equivalent rates of MgATP-dependent H+-transport activity were measured by quinacrine fluorescence (ΔpH) in plasma membrane vesicles isolated from control or salt-stressed (75 millimolar salt) tomato roots. However, when bis-[3-phenyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl] pentamethine was used to measure MgATP-dependent membrane potential (ΔΨ) formation, salt-stressed vesicles displayed a 50% greater initial quench rate and a 30% greater steady state quench than control vesicles. This differential probe response suggested a difference in surface properties between control and salt-stressed membranes. Fluorescence titration of vesicles with the surface potential probe, 8-anilino-1-napthalenesulphonic acid (ANS) provided dissociation constants (Kd) of 120 and 76 micromolar for dye binding to control and salt-stressed vesicles, respectively. Membrane surface potentials (Ψo) of−26.0 and −13.7 millivolts were calculated for control and salt-stressed membrane vesicles from the measured Kd values and the calculated intrinsic affinity constant, Ki. The concentration of cations and anions at the surface of control and salt-stressed membranes was estimated using Ψo values and the Boltzmann equation. The observed difference in membrane surface electrostatic properties was consistent with the measured differences in K+-stimulated kinetics of ATPase activity between control and salt-stressed vesicles and by the differential ability of Cl ions to stimulate H+-transport activity. Salinity-induced changes in plasma membrane electrostatic properties may influence ion transport across the plasma membrane.  相似文献

Proton fluxes have been followed into and out of membrane vesicles isolated from the roots of the halophyte Atriplex nummularia and the glycophyte Gossypium hirsutum, with the aid of the ΔpH probe [14C]methylamine. Evidence is presented for the operation of Na+/H+ and K+/H+ antiporters in the membranes of both plants. Cation supply after a pH gradient has been set up across the vesicle membrane (either as a result of providing ATP to the H+-ATPase or by imposing an artificial pH gradient) brings about dissipation of the ΔpH, but does not depolarize the membrane potential as observed in similar experiments, but in the absence of Cl, using the ΔΨ probe SCN. Cation/H+ exchange is thus indicated. This exchange is not due to nonspecific electric coupling, nor to competition for anionic adsorption sites on the membrane, nor to inhibition of the H+-ATPase; coupling of the opposed cation and H+ fluxes by a membrane component is the most likely explanation. Saturation kinetics have been observed for both Na+/H+ and K+/H+ antiport in Atriplex. Moreover, additive effects are obtained when Na+ is supplied together with saturating concentrations of K+, and vice versa, suggesting that separate antiporters for Na+ and for K+ may be operating. In the case of both Atriplex and Gossypium evidence was obtained suggesting the presence of antiporters in both plasmalemma and tonoplast.  相似文献

The mechanism of sucrose transport was investigated in plasma membrane (PM) vesicles isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves. PM vesicles were isolated by aqueous two-phase partitioning and were equilibrated in pH 7.8 buffer containing K+. The vesicles rapidly accumulated sucrose in the presence of a transmembrane pH gradient (ΔpH) with external pH set at 5.8. The uptake rate was slow at pH 7.8. The K+-selective ionophore, valinomycin, stimulated uptake in the presence of a ΔpH, and the protonophore, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), greatly inhibited ΔpH-dependent sucrose uptake. Addition of sucrose to the vesicles resulted in immediate alkalization of the medium. Alkalization was stimulated by valinomycin, was abolished by CCCP, and was sucrose-specific. These results demonstrate the presence of a tightly coupled H+/sucrose symporter in PM vesicles isolated from spinach leaves.  相似文献

The unidirectional uptake of sodium across the outer surface of the isolated frog skin (J12Na) was measured in the presence of transepithelial potential difference (Δψ) ranging from +100 to -100 mV. With a sodium concentration of 115 mM in the bathing solutions J12Na increases significantly when the spontaneous Δψ is reduced to zero by short-circuiting the skin. With an Na concentration of 6 mM a progressive increase J12Na can be observed when Δψ is decreased in several steps from +100 to -100 mV (serosal side positive and negative, respectively). The observed change J12Na amounts to a fraction only of that predicted from the shift in Δψ. The results suggest that under open circuit conditions the potential step across the outside surface is at most one half of Δψ and that the resistance across the outside and inside barrier of the skin is ohmic. This is in agreement with measurements of intracellular potentials in the frog skin and with resistance measurements carried out in the toad skin. The data strongly support the view that the saturating component of Jψ proceeds via a charged carrier system. Exposure to negative values of Δψ of 50 mV or more for times of 24 min or more result in a marked reduction of J12Na which shows only partial or no reversibility.  相似文献

To understand the mechanism and molecular properties of the tonoplast-type H+-translocating ATPase, we have studied the effect of Cl, NO3, and 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-stilbene disulfonic acid (DIDS) on the activity of the electrogenic H+-ATPase associated with low-density microsomal vesicles from oat roots (Avena sativa cv Lang). The H+-pumping ATPase generates a membrane potential (Δψ) and a pH gradient (ΔpH) that make up two interconvertible components of the proton electrochemical gradient (μh+). A permeant anion (e.g. Cl), unlike an impermeant anion (e.g. iminodiacetate), dissipated the membrane potential ([14C]thiocyanate distribution) and stimulated formation of a pH gradient ([14C]methylamine distribution). However, Cl-stimulated ATPase activity was about 75% caused by a direct stimulation of the ATPase by Cl independent of the proton electrochemical gradient. Unlike the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, the Cl-stimulated ATPase was inhibited by NO3 (a permeant anion) and by DIDS. In the absence of Cl, NO3 decreased membrane potential formation and did not stimulate pH gradient formation. The inhibition by NO3 of Cl-stimulated pH gradient formation and Cl-stimulated ATPase activity was noncompetitive. In the absence of Cl, DIDS inhibited the basal Mg,ATPase activity and membrane potential formation. DIDS also inhibited the Cl-stimulated ATPase activity and pH gradient formation. Direct inhibition of the electrogenic H+-ATPase by NO3 or DIDS suggest that the vanadate-insensitive H+-pumping ATPase has anion-sensitive site(s) that regulate the catalytic and vectorial activity. Whether the anion-sensitive H+-ATPase has channels that conduct anions is yet to be established.  相似文献

The epidermal cells of the sporophyte haustorium of Polytrichum formosum are modified into transfer cells. These cells are located in a strategic place allowing them to control the exchanges between the two generations. Their plasmalemma creates proton gradients (Δψ and ΔpH) which increase during the development of the sporophyte. As the sporophyte grows from 2 to 4 cm long, the pH of the incubation medium of the haustoria decreases from 5.2 to 4.3, and the transmembrane potential difference (PD) hyperpolarizes form −140 to −210 millivolts. These gradients become rapidly larger than that generated by the plasmalemma of the basal cells of the sporophyte. They are used to energize the uptake of the solutes present in the apoplast of the gametophyte, particularly the amino acids. Below 20 micromolar α-aminoisobutyric acid uptake in the transfer cells is mediated by a saturable system and is optimal at acidic pH (4.0 and 4.5). It is strongly inhibited by compounds dissipating both Δψ and ΔpH (10 micromolar carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone) or only Δψ (0.1 molar KCl). The absorption of α-aminoisobutyric acid and of the other neutral amino acids tested induces an alkalinization of the medium and a depolarization of membrane potential difference which is concentration dependent. These data show that the uptake of amino acids by the transfer cells of the haustorium is a secondary translocation (proton-amino acid symport) energized by a primary translocation (proton efflux). More particularly, they show that transfer cells possess a membrane enzymic equipment particularly efficient to achieve the uptake of the solutes leaked in the apoplast from other cell types.  相似文献
