Using dissociation in 0.8 M KCl, it was established that in freshly excised Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tuber slices less than 8% of the ribosomes were in polysomes. The first hour of aging in water was the period of most rapid polysome accumulation; over 32% of the ribosomes carried nascent polypeptide chains at the end of this time. Thereafter polysome accumulation continued to increase, but more gradually. While synthesis of high-molecular-weight RNA (presumed mRNA) was inhibited more than 95% by -amanitin during the first hour of aging, the inhibitor had no effect on polysome formation. As determined by [3H]polyuridylic acid hybridization, unaged cells contained polyadenylated RNA with a size range of 6–30S. The amount of polyadenylated RNA did not change during the first hour of aging. In control cells in water the in-vivo rate of protein synthesis increased exponentially during the first 4 h of aging without a comparable increase in polysomes. In -amanitintreated tissues a similar increase in protein synthesis was not observed despite the presence of near control levels of polysomes. It is suggested that early polysome formation depends on stored mRNA. Inhibition of mRNA synthesis by -amanitin prevents the normal development of an enhanced rate of protein synthesis which is not directly related to numbers of ribosomes in polysomes.Abbreviations Poly(A)

Influence of Ionic Strength, pH, and Chelation of Divalent Metals on Isolation of Polyribosomes from Tobacco Leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A procedure was developed for extracting polysomes from tobacco (Nicotiana sp) leaves. Unexpanded leaves ground in a medium consisting of 200 mm tris-HCl, pH 9, 400 mm KCl, 200 mm sucrose, and 35 mm MgCl(2) yielded larger amounts of polysomes with less degradation than polysomes from leaves extracted with buffers of lower ionic strength or pH. Extraction of polysomes from expanded leaves required the inclusion of ethyleneglycol-bis(2-aminoethyl ether)tetraacetic acid (EGTA, a divalent cation chelator with a high affinity for Ca(2+), Cu(2+), and Zn(2+)). EGTA also improved isolation of polysomes from unexpanded leaves. Addition of 25 mm Ca(2+), Cu(2+), or Zn(2+) to extracts from young leaves precipitated polysomes, and density gradient profiles of polysome preparations from the cation treatments mimicked profiles from expanded leaves which were extracted without EGTA. Polysome precipitation by Ca(2+) was prevented by EGTA. Endogenous Ca(2+) was present in unexpanded leaves in sufficient concentrations (25 mm) to cause some precipitation of polysomes during extraction, and this cation increased by 60% in expanded leaves. Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) were not present in amounts sufficient to cause polysome precipitation. The results show that recovery of polyribosomes may be reduced by divalent cations in leaf tissue, and this can be overcome by chelation of these ions with EGTA. 相似文献

Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from unhardened and cold-acclimated leaves of Valerianella locusta L. and subjected to freeze-thaw treatment. To evaluate the extent and course of freezing injury, photosynthetic reactions of whole protoplasts and of free thylakoid membranes, liberated from protoplasts by osmotic lysis, were measured. In addition, the integrity of the protoplasts was determined by microscopy. The results reveal an increased frost tolerance of protoplasts isolated from acclimated leaves with respect to all parameters measured. CO2-dependent O2 evolution (representing net photosynthetic CO2 fixation of protoplasts) was the most freezing-sensitive reaction; its inhibition due to freeze-thaw treatment of protoplasts was neither correlated with disintegration of the plasma membrane, nor was it initiated by inactivation of the thylakoid membranes. The frost-induced decline of protoplast integrity was not closely correlated to thylakoid damage either. Freezing injury of the thylakoid membranes was manifested by inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport and photophosphorylation. Both photosystems were affected by freezing and thawing with strongest inhibition occurring in the water-oxidation system or at the oxidizing site of photosystem II. Photophosphorylation responded more sensitively to freezing stress than electron transport, although uncoupling (increased permeability of the thylakoid membranes to protons) was not a conspicuous effect. The data are discussed in relation to freezing injury in leaves and seem to indicate that frost damage in vivo is initiated at multiple sites.Abbreviations Chl

Cytoplasmic polysomes have been prepared from mature leaves of winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv Puma). This is the first time a method has been developed for isolation of highly polymerized polysomes from mature leaves. The degree of intactness of isolated plant polysomes has been determined by two independent but complementary methods: size class distribution by sucrose gradient centrifugation and in vitro translation. The polymerization of isolated polysomes was estimated by the ratio of the proportion of large polysomes to the proportion of small polysomes obtained from the profiles. Our results show that the composition of the optimal polysome isolation buffer for mature rye leaves is different from that reported for young tobacco and pea leaves. Polysomes were translated in vitro with the S-105 wheat germ fraction. The degree of polysome polymerization has a significant effect on their in vitro translation since both the incorporation of amino acid and the presence of high molecular weight polypeptides are proportional to the large polysomes/small polysomes ratio. This study emphasizes the need to evaluate isolation conditions carefully before proceeding with polysome studies in any particular tissue or in tissues under different physiological status. 相似文献

Ultrastructure of the cell wall regeneration of isolated protoplasts of Skimmia japonica thunb 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Isolated protoplasts obtained from leaves and from stem callus cultures of Skimmia japonica were cultivated for 72 h to regenerate a new cell wall. During this process the structural changes in the protoplasts and at the surface of the plasmalemma were studied in ultrathin sections and after freeze-fracturing and deep-etching.The cultured protoplasts show an apparent increase in cell organelles compared to the freshly isolated protoplasts. In particular, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes, many of them appear as polysomes, become numerous. Moreover, special connections between the ER and the plasmalemma are visible. Most important are the fracture faces of the plasmalemma with two different arrangements of membrane-bound particles: (1) particles in hexagonal arrays and (2) rows of ca. 14 particles. Their orientation usually conforms with that of the regenerated microfibrils of the cell wall. According to these results the following model for microfibril synthesis and orientation in higher plants is proposed: While the cytoplasmic activity is involved in the production of cellulose precursors and enzymes, the hexagonal arrays may respresent specialized regions for the outward passage of these cellulose precursors. The rows of membrane-associated particles may function as a linear enzyme complex (matrix) for microfibril biosynthesis and orientation.Abbreviations ER

Different methods were tested to isolate protoplasts from etiolated, partially greened, and light-grown leaves of Avena sativa. Preparations with high yields and high photosynthetic capacities (time of illumination 4 h) were obtained when small transverse leaf segments were incubated for 2 h at 30°C in 2% cellulysin (Calbiochem), 0.6 M mannitol, and 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) at pH 5.6, without shaking. As measured by light-dependent O2 evolution or fixation of labeled bicarbonate, protoplasts exhibited rates of up to 124 mol per mg of chlorophyll per h at 20°C and saturating bicarbonate, which were nearly identical to those found with intact leaves. The assay conditions necessary for this activity were 0.6 M sorbitol, 50 mM N-2-hydroxy-ethylpiperazine-N-2-ethane sulfonic acid (pH 7.6), and 10 mM NaHCO3. If plastids were isolated from these protoplasts, sorbitol was 0.45 M, including 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). under these conditions, rates of photosynthesis were up to 125 (light-grown) and 71 (6 h illuminated) mol O2 evolved or 14CO2 fixed per mg of chlorophyll per h, compared to 3.5 mol·mg chl-1·h-1 obtained with mechanically isolated plastids. With this system, CO2-dependent O2 evolution was already detected after 3 h of illumination of etiolated tissue, but could only be observed at pH values between 7.6 and 8.6, in the presence of EDTA. At lower pH (7.3) or at pH 7.6 in the absence of EDTA, light-dependent O2 evolution up to 24 h of greening was only measurable with 3-phosphoglycerate as the substrate. The possible effects of EDTA in this respect as well as the advantages of using protoplasts or plastids isolated from protoplasts for developmental studies are discussed.Abbreviations BSA

Isolation of cells and protoplasts from leaves of in vitro propagated peach (Prunus persica) plants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Yields of 106–108 peach mesophyll cells and protoplasts · gfw-1 were obtained depending on factors such as digesting enzymes, and leaf size. Onozuka R-10 (2%) in combination with Macerase (0.5%) was found best for protoplast isolation and mediocre for cell isolation among several enzyme combinations tested. Viability was 90% for protoplasts and 60% for cells. Pectolyase Y23 was found to be ineffective in our investigation. Small leaves, 4–10 mm in length, were a superior source for protoplast isolation than medium or big expanded leaves, 22–30 mm in length. The high yields of protoplasts could be obtained only when keeping the ratio of leaf biomass to volume of digesting enzyme solution under 20 mg ml-1. Purification of protoplasts on a sucrose gradient yielded about 107 protoplasts · gfw-1, however, the preparation was still contaminated by intact cells. Protoplasts were cultured under different growth regulators and physical conditions. Limited growth and division of protoplasts embedded in agarose drops were observed.Abbreviations BA

The biosynthesis of Fraction I protein in isolated protoplasts is compared with that in the plant. Radioactive precursors were incorporated into isolated protoplasts (in vitro labeling) and into leaves, from which the protoplasts were isolated later (in situ labeling). The biosynthesis of Fraction I protein stopped almost completely as soon as the protoplasts were incubated in the culture medium. 相似文献

The regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase, EC. 4.1.1.31) and PEPCase kinase was investigated using barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mesophyll protoplasts. Incubation of protoplasts in the light resulted in a reduction in the sensitivity of PEPCase to the inhibitor L-malate; PEPCase from protoplasts incubated in the light for 1 h was inhibited 48±2% by 2mM malate, whereas the enzyme from protoplasts incubated for 1 h in the dark was inhibited by 67±2%. Light-induced reduction of sensitivity of PEPCase to malate was decreased by cycloheximide (CHM), indicating the involvement of protein synthesis. The PEPCase kinase in protoplasts increased with time after isolation in darkness, and increased still further following light treatment. The increase in kinase activity in the light was sensitive to CHM. When protoplasts were illuminated in the presence of EGTA and the calcium ionophore A23187 to reduce intracellular Ca2+, the reduction in the senstivity of PEPCase to malate was enhanced, though no more PEPCase kinase activity was detected than in protoplasts illuminated in the absence of EGTA and A23187. Incubation with 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) had no effect on the light-induced reduction of sensitivity of PEPCase to malate inhibition or on light-activation of PEPCase kinase. These results indicate that there is a constitutive PEPCase kinase activity in C3 leaf tissue, that there is another kinase which is light-activated in a CHMsensitive way, that the sensitivity of PEPCase to its inhibitor may not always be correlated with apparent PEPCase kinase actvity, and that PEPCase and PEPCase kinase are regulated in a different manner in C3 protoplasts than in C4 protoplasts or leaf tissue.Abbreviations CAM

Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from leaves of in vitro grown patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.). The protoplasts were encapsulated in alginate beads, approximately 2–3×103 protoplasts per 25 l bead. Successful colony formation was induced when the protoplast beads were inoculated into a liquid medium supplemented with 10-6 M NAA and 10-5 M BA. The frequency of colony formation was improved greatly by the inclusion of several beads per ml medium. To induce high colony formation for a single bead, it was essential to culture protoplasts in the presence of nurse beads containing actively-growing cells of the same species. Rapid regeneration of plants from protoplast-derived calluses was accomplished by a two-step culture procedure with liquid and then solid media. Gas-chromatographic analyses showed that regenerated plants produced an essential oil comprising a full-set of patchouli sesquiterpenes.Abbreviations BA

Purified intact protoplasts were isolated from etiolated and greening leaves of Avena sativa. They were ruptured by forcing them through a 20-m aperture nylon net and immediately thereafter fractionated into a pure pellet of plastids (well above 70% of total plastids), a layer of mitochondria only slightly contaminated by other cellular constituents (about 50% of total mitochondria), and a cytoplasmic supernatant. This was achieved within 60 s by an integrated method of homogenation of protoplasts and centrifugal filtration of the homogenate on a gradient of silicone oils, contained together with the nylon net in 450 l microtubes, and verified by comparing the levels of activity of specific markers within the three fractions obtained. With appropriate modifications to immediately quench metabolic reactions within the fractions, this method allows the determination of metabolite levels within plastids, mitochondria, and the cytoplasmic compartment of intact protoplasts. The applicability of this technique is demonstrated by the determination of ATP in the plastids, mitochondria, and the cytoplasm of protoplasts obtained from etiolated and greening primary leaves of Avena. The levels of ATP, corrected for contamination of the fractions by each other, exhibit a pronounced transient increase during greening, especially within the cytoplasm.Abbreviations BSA

Protoplasts were isolated from cotyledons and foliage leaves of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense). Cotyledon protoplasts were larger and responded to culture better than leaf protoplasts. Cotyledon derived protoplasts regenerated cell walls and formed microcolonies of 2–3 cells in G. hirsutum and 5–8 cells in G. barbadense. However, the microcolonies did not grow beyond this stage. Protoplast yield and viability, cell wall regeneration and cell division were influenced by several factors, e.g., genotype, age, tissue and growth condition of donor plant, enzyme mixture and concentration, preplasmolysis period, incubation period, and culture medium.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Intravenous administration of LSD to young adult rabbits induces a transient disaggregation of brain polysomes and a relocalization of mRNA from polysomes to monosomes. To analyze the spectrum of mRNA molecules which were associated with either the residual polysomes or the translationally inactive monosome complex, these two fractions were isolated on sucrose gradients and translated in a reticulocyte cell-free system. Analysis of [35S]methionine labeled translation products by one and two dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that a full spectrum of mRNA molecules was relocalized from polysomes to monosomes following drug induced polysome disaggregation. The only exception was the mRNA coding for the LSD-induced 74K protein which was associated with the residual polysome fraction and not with the monosome complex. This brain protein is similar in molecular weight to one of the major heat shock proteins which are induced in tissue culture cells following elevation of ambient temperature and disaggregation of existing polysomes. The mRNA coding for the 74K brain protein was not observed in polysomes isolated following blockage of LSD-induced hyperthermia but it was noted when hyperthermia was induced by elevation of ambient temperature. The mRNA species coding for the 74K protein was polyadenylated. 相似文献

Viable protoplasts (yield > 1.9 × 107 g–1 fresh weight; mean viability 85±2%, n=5) were isolated from leaves of axenic shoot cultures of Manihot esculenta Crantz. cv. M. Thai 8. Protoplasts were cultured for up to 50 days in liquid, ammonium-free MS medium, overlaying agarose-solidified B5 medium with short glass rods embedded perpendicularly within, and protruding from, the agarose layer. Control protoplasts were cultured identically, but without glass rods. Sustained protoplast division was observed only in the presence of glass rods, where the initial plating efficiency was almost 6-fold greater than control (p < 0.05). The mean final plating efficiency of treated cultures was 1.0±0.2% while, in contrast, significant colony formation was not observed in controls.Abbreviations BA

We have investigated the efficiency of heparin, polyvinyl sulfate and yeast RNA (as competitive RNase inhibitors), liver extract (as crude preparation of liver RNase inhibitors) and DEPC (as irreversible non-competitive inhibitor) for the preparation of rat brain polysomes. Sucrose gradient sedimentation profiles, obtained from PMS, were used to determine the optimal concentration of each inhibitor. Diethylpyrocarbonate, whatever the composition of isolation buffer, was found detrimental for brain polysomes. Most of the other inhibitors where found useless or even harmful. A slight positive effect was observed with heparin 0.75 mg/mL both for total yield and sedimentation pattern. It is concluded that the utilisation of most of the widely used RNase inhibitors is of questionnable effectiveness for brain polysome preparation.Abbreviations DEPC

Isolation and characterization of a barley mutant with abscisic-acid-insensitive stomata 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
A barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutant (cool) with leaf transpiration unaffected by the application of 1 mM abscisic acid (ABA) was isolated from the population of M2 seedlings using thermography (electronic visualization, and quantitation of the temperature profiles on the surface of the leaves). Stomata of the mutant plants were insensitive to exogenously applied ABA, darkness, and such desiccation treatments as leaf excision and drought stress. The evaporative cooling of the leaves of the cool barley was always higher than that of the wild-type barley, even without ABA application, indicating that the diffusive resistance of the mutant leaves to water loss was always lower. Guard-cell morphology and stomatal density as well as ABA level and metabolism were seemingly unaltered in the mutant plants. In addition, gibberellin-induced -amylase secretion and precocious embryo germination in the mutant barley was inhibited by ABA to the same extent as in the wild-type barley.Abbreviations ABA

Starch phosphorylase activity in extracts of spinach or pea leaves and of isolated chloroplasts was determined and separated by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. In spinach leaf extracts, a specific activity of 16 nmol glucose 1-phosphate formed per min per mg protein was found, whereas a lower value (6 nmol per min per mg protein) was observed in preparations of isolated chloroplasts which were about 75% intact. In the spinach leaf extracts two forms of phosphorylase were found; chloroplast preparations almost exclusively contained one of these. In pea leaf extracts the specific activity was 10 nmol glucose 1-phosphate formed per min per mg protein. Three forms of phosphorylase contributed to this activity. Preparations of isolated chloroplasts with an intactness of about 85% exhibited a lower specific activity (5nmol per min per mg protein) and contained two of these three phosphorylase forms.Abbreviations G1P

A procedure is described for the rapid (<5 min) isolation of purified, physiologically active chloroplasts from Pisum sativum L. Mitochondrial and microbody contamination is substantially reduced and broken chloroplasts are excluded by washing through a layer containing a treated silica sol. On average the preparations contain 93% intact chloroplasts and show high rates of 14CO2 fixation and CO2-dependent O2 evolution (over 100 mol/mg chlorophyll(chl)/h); they are also able to carry out light-driven incorporation of leucine into protein (4 nmol/mg chl/h). The amino-acid contents of chloroplasts prepared from leaves and from leaf protoplasts have been determined. Asparagine is the most abundant amino acid in the pea chloroplast (>240 nmol/mg chl), even thought it is proportionately lower in the chloroplast relative to the rest of the cell. The chloroplasts contain about 20% of many of the amino acids of the cell, but for individual amino acids the percentage in the chloroplast ranges from 8 to 40% of the cell total. Glutamic acid, glutamine and aspartic acid are enriched in the chloroplasts, while asparagine, homoserine and -(isoxazolin-5-one-2-yl)-alanine are relatively lower. Leakage of amino acids from the chloroplast during preparation or repeated washing was ca. 20%. Some differences exist between the amino-acid composition of chloroplasts isolated from intact leaves and from protoplasts. In particular, -aminobutyric acid accumulates to high levels, while homoserine and glutamic acid decrease, during protoplast formation and breakage. 相似文献

Post-mortem changes of cytoplasmic RNP particles from rat skeletal muscles are studied using sucrose density gradient. The polysome destruction is found to beign within 1-2 hours after the animal death. However, a part of polysomes turned to be stable at least within 48-60 hours after the death. These polysomes incorporated 14C-leucine into acid insoluble fraction in cell-free system and were decomposited by RNase treatment (10 mkg/ml). The data suggest that within 24-48 hours of the after-death destruction the decay begins to free monoribosomes while there are still active polysomes in muscles. 相似文献

Translational alterations occur in maize (Zea mays L.) leaves stressed by pathogen infection or herbicide paraquat treatment. These translational changes include: (a) dissociation of large polysomes to small polysomes, monosomes, and subunits; (b) a decreased rate of total protein synthesis; and (c) a reduced synthesis of several proteins by polysomes in vitro. The polysome dissociation was neither due to an extraction artifact nor to degradation of RNA by RNase. The protein patterns of polysomes isolated from leaves inoculated with Bipolaris maydis at 6 to 48 hours showed an increase in the intensity of a 57 kilodalton protein. When inoculated with less virulent pathogens, such as B. zeicola, Exserohilum turcicum, or Colletotrichum graminicola, the protein was accumulated in polysomes of leaves at 24 to 48 hours after inoculation. The 57 kilodalton protein was also accumulated in polysomes of maize leaves responding to heat shock or herbicide paraquat treatments. The purified 57 kilodalton protein reassociated with polysomes isolated from healthy leaves and inhibited polysomal translation in vitro. Since the 57 kilodalton protein is rapidly accumulated in maize polysomes in response to various biological and environmental stresses and may affect protein synthesis, it may be involved in translational regulation of maize leaves during stress response. 相似文献
