Changes in Kinetic Characteristics of the ABA Binding Protein(s) of the Grapevine Fruit During Its Developmental Process

By using the micro-volume radio-ligand binding essay (MRLB), the changes in the kinetic characteristics of the ABA binding protein (s) of the Kyoho grapevine (V/t/s vinifera × V. labrusca) fruits during the different stages of fruit development have been studied. The changes in the berry volume growth, concentration of sugar, organic acids and ABA in fruit mesocarp have been determined especially for the studies of ABA-binding protein. The dissociation constant (Kd) and ABA-binding maximum volumes (Bronx)were determined by the Scatchard plots for the ABA-binding protein (s) in microsomes of the fruits. They were: Kd =17.5, 50. 0, 6.3, 13.3 nmol/L: Bmax=98.6, 523.0, 41.6, 85. 4 pmol/g protein respectively for the fruit developmental phase Ⅰ , Ⅱ, veraison and phase Ⅲ. The Scatchard plots showed a rectilinear function for all of the developmental phases including veraison, which suggests in the fruit microsomes at the same developmental phase, the existence of either one kind of the same or several different kinds of ABA-binding sites of identical or similar kinetic characteristics and of high affinity. In different developmental stages, however, changes of the protein at the ABA-binding sites might occur. The binding affinity of ABA-binding protein (s) for ABA was showed to be higher at veraison stage than in other developmental phases and this binding affinity increased nearly by 10 times from the phase Ⅱ to veraison, whereas the concentration (Bmax) of the ABA-binding protein (s) decreased to the minimum at veraison. The reason why such low concentration of ABA at veraison is capable to trigger the onset of fruit ripening might be due to the increase of the affinity of ABA-binding protein (s) for ABA at this time. The possible functions of the ABA-binding protein (s) for fruit development during the different developmental stages were discussed, and it is suggested that the protein (s) detected could be the putative receptor (s) or carrier (s) for the action of this plant hormone in grapevine.     

Effect of Abscisic Acid on Banana Fruit Ripening in Relation to the Role of Ethylene

Abstract The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in banana fruit ripening was examined with the ethylene binding inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). ABA (0, 10⁻⁵, 10⁻⁴, or 10⁻³ mol/L) was applied by vacuum infiltration into fruit. 1-MCP (1 μL/L) was applied by injecting a measured volume of stock gas into sealed glass jars containing fruit. Fruit ripening, as judged by ethylene evolution and respiration associated with color change and softening, was accelerated by 10⁻⁴ or 10⁻³ mol/L ABA. ABA at 10⁻⁵ mol/L had no effect. The acceleration of ripening by ABA was greater at 10⁻³ mol/L than at 10⁻⁴ mol/L. ABA-induced acceleration of banana fruit ripening was not observed in 1-MCP treated fruit, especially when ABA was applied after exposure to 1-MCP. Thus, ABA's promotion of ripening in intact banana fruit is at least partially mediated by ethylene. Exposure of ABA-treated fruit to 0.1 μL/L ethylene for 24 h resulted in increased ethylene production and respiration, and associated skin color change and fruit softening. Control fruit (no ABA) was unresponsive to similar ethylene treatments. The data suggest that ABA facilitates initiation and progress in the sequence of ethylene-mediated ripening events, possibly by enhancing the sensitivity to ethylene.

苹果果实细胞质中依赖活体组织的ABA高亲和力特异结合蛋白

将苹果（Malus pumila L.cv.Starkrimon)果肉微粒体和细胞可溶组分在含有^3H-ABA的缓冲介质中分别温育,仅在细胞可溶组分中测到微弱的^3H-ABA结合活性。但是,如何将果肉组织圆片在^3H-ABA缓冲介质中直接温育,经制备亚细胞组分后直接测定,在细胞可溶组分中测到很高的^3H-ABA特异结合活性。果肉圆片用沸水预先热处理使细胞可溶组分中的^3H-ABA结合活性完全丧失,说明ABA结合依赖于组织的活体状态。药理实验证明了ABA结合位点的蛋白质性质,同时证明该蛋白的活性中心具有－SH和丝氨酸基因。ABA结合蛋白对ABA的结合具有可饱和性、可逆性和高亲和力。Scatchard作图证明存在2种ABA结合蛋白,一种具有较高的亲和力,其解离常数（Kd)为2.9mmol/L,另一种亲和力相对较低,其Kd值为71.4nmol/L。用ABA结构相似物进行的竞争实验证明了ABA结合蛋白对配体结合的立体特异性。分析了ABA结合蛋白与ABA结合的时间曲线、pH和温度依赖性。本研究检测到的依赖活体组织的ABA结合蛋白可能是果实发育过程中介导ABA信号的受体。     

In Vivo Tissue-dependent Abscisic Acid Specific-binding Proteins with High Affinity in Cytosol of Developing Apple Fruits (in English)

The in vivo highly tissue-dependent abscisic acid (ABA) specific-binding sites localized in cytosol were identified and characterized in the flesh of developing apple ( Malus pumila L. cv. Starkrimon) fruits. ABA binding activity was scarcely detectable in the microsomes and the cytosolic fraction isolated from the freshly harvested fruits via an in vitro ABA binding incubation of the subcellular fractions. If, however, instead that the subcellular fractions were in vitro incubated in H-ABA binding medium, the flesh tissue discs were directly in vivo incubated in H-ABA binding medium, a high ABA binding activity to the cytosolic fraction isolated from these tissue discs was detected. The in vivo ABA binding capacity of the cytosolic fraction was lost if the tissue discs had been pretreated with boiling water, indicating that the ABA binding needs a living state of tissue. The in vivo tissue-dependent binding sites were shown to possess protein nature with both active serine residua and thiol-group of cysteine residua in their functional binding center. The ABA binding of the in vivo tissue-dependent ABA binding sites to the cytosolic fraction was shown to be saturable, reversible, and of high affinity. The scatchard plotting gave evidence of two different classes of ABA binding proteins, one with a higher affinity ( Kd =2.9 nmol/L) and the other with lower affinity ( Kd =71.4 nmol/L). Phaseic acid, 2- trans -4- trans -ABA or cis-trans -(－)-ABA had substantially no affinity to the binding proteins, indicating their stereo-specificity to bind physiologically active ABA. The time course, pH- and temperature-dependence of the in vivo tissue-dependent binding proteins were determined. It is hypothesized that the detected ABA-binding proteins may be putative ABA-receptors that mediate ABA signals during fruit development.     

Abscisic acid-specific binding sites in the flesh of developing apple fruit

Abscisic acid (ABA) specific-binding sites localized in the cytosol were identified and characterized in the flesh of developing apple (Malus pumila L. cv. Starkrimon) fruit. ABA binding activity was scarcely detectable in the microsomes but high ABA binding activity in the cytosolic fraction was detected. The ABA-binding sites possessed a protein nature with both active serine residues and thiol-groups of cysteine residues in their functional binding sites. ABA binding was shown to be saturable, reversible and of high affinity. A Scatchard plot provided evidence for two different ABA binding proteins, one with higher affinity (K(d)=2.3 nM) and the other with lower affinity (K(d)=58.8 nM). Phaseic acid, trans-ABA and (-)-ABA had essentially no affinity for the binding proteins, indicating their stereo-specificity to bind physiologically active cis-(+)-ABA. The time-course, pH- and temperature-dependence of the ABA-binding proteins were determined. It is hypothesized that the detected ABA-binding proteins may be putative ABA-receptors that mediate ABA signals during fruit development.     

Endogenous levels of polyamines and abscisic acid in pepper fruits during growth and ripening

The levels of polyamines (PA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the pericarp of California variety pepper fruit ( Capsicum annuum L.) were analyzed during development and ripening. Putrescine level was 2.75 μmol g⁻¹ fresh weight 7 days after fruit set and fell during the exponential stage of growth to 1.05 μmol g⁻¹ fresh weight. During the second growth stage. PA and ABA levels remained stable and fell sharply at the beginning of maturation. The levels of spermidine and spermine decreased throughout fruit development and maturation from 0.61 to 0.05 and 0.31 to 0.02 μmol g⁻¹ fresh weight, respectively, but no changes were associated with the onset of maturation. ABA levels remained high (0.70-0.80 μg g⁻¹ fresh weight) during the stages of fruit growth and fell at the beginning of maturation to 0.12 μg g⁻¹ fresh weight, before rising again during the last stages of maturation and senescence. The decrease in putrescine and ABA levels and the subsequent increase in the latter may be responsible for controlling the processes of ripening in pepper fruit.     

Abscisic acid biosynthesis and catabolism and their regulation roles in fruit ripening

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a series of significant physiology roles in higher plants including but not limited to promote bud and seed dormancy, accelerate foliage fall, induce stomatal closure, inhibit growth and enhance resistance. Recently, it has been revealed that ABA also has an important regulator role in the growth, development and ripening of fruit. In higher plants ABA is produced from an indirect pathway from the cleavage products of carotenoids. The accumulation of endogenous ABA levels in plants is a dynamic balance controlled by the processes of biosynthesis and catabolism, through the regulation of key ABA biosynthetic gene and enzyme activities. It has been hypothesized that ABA levels could be part of the signal that trigger fruit ripening, and that ABA may play an important role in the regulation of ripening and senescence of both non-climacteric and climacteric fruit. The expensive costs of natural ABA and labile active ABA for its chemical synthesis limit its application in scientific research and agricultural production. These findings that ABA has various of important roles in the regulation of growth and development, quality formation, coloring and softening, ripening and senescence of fruit, are providing opportunities and challenges for Horticultural Science. This is to elucidate the specific mechanism of response and biosynthesis, signal transduction, and receptor recognition of ABA in fruit, employing comprehensive research methods, such as molecular biology, plant physiology and molecular genetics. Further and more in-depth research about ABA has a great, realistic significance for knowing the mechanisms behind the process of fruit ripening.     

Characterization of the Membrane- Bound Gibberellin Binding Proteins from Young Shoots of Rice

Gibberellin-binding proteins were found on the membrane of young rice shoot. The dissociation constant (Kd) for GAs was approximately 6.5 × 10-8 mol/L, and the total concentration of the sites was 0. 3 pmol ·mg-1 protein. The binding activity of gibberellin-binding proteins was significantly affected by temperature and phi which was 140% higher at 0 ℃ than that at 25 ℃, and the optimal pH value was 5. Gibberellin-binding activity increased with the incubation time, reaching the maximum at 1 h. and then decreased gradually. Both IAA and ABA were able to compete with GA3 for gibberellin-binding proteins.     

Changes in the levels of abscisic acid and its metabolites resulting from chilling of tomato fruits

The 6,6,6-[²H]-analogues of abscisic acid (ABA), phaseic (PA) and dihydrophaseic (DPA) acids were used in GC-MS-SIM determination of free and total alkali hydrolyzable ABA, PA and DPA in the pericarp of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Pik Red) fruit. Determinations were made on breaker-stage fruit stored 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks at 2.5°C or at 10°C, and after subsequent ripening for 1 week in darkness at 20°C. Two-fold increases in levels of ABA occurred after storage at low temperatures with a slightly but significantly greater increase in ABA level occurring with 2.5°C storage. These increases in ABA levels were not associated with the appearance of damage symptoms that occurred with storage at the chilling temperature (2.5°C). Differences in ABA metabolism were found resulting from storage at the two temperatures, 2.5 or 10°C. Significantly greater DPA levels were found after 10°C storage than after 2.5°C storage (2 weeks). Levels of ABA ester-conjugates increased with 20°C ripening only after 10°C storage while free ABA levels decreased after both storage temperature conditions. Levels of DPA conjugates also increased only after 20°C ripening following 10°C storage. A longer period of storage resulted in decreases of free DPA levels after 10°C storage but increased DPA levels were found after 2.5°C storage.Abbreviations ABA abscisic acid - PA phaseic acid - DPA dihydrophaseic acid - GC-MS-SIM gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring - HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography - fw. fresh weight author for correspondence     

Quantification of ABA and its metabolites in sweet cherries usingdeuterium-labeled internal standards

Abscisic acid (ABA), phaseic acid (PA), dihydrophaseic acid (DPA), and epi-dihydrophaseic acid (epi-DPA) were quantified in developing fruit and seeds of sweet cherry using each deuterium-labeled internal standard. ABA concentrations in the pulp were low at the early stage of fruit development, reached to the maximum before maturation, and subsequently declined during maturation. The significant increase of ABA after 29 days after full bloom (DAFB) coincides with the softening suggests that ABA may play a role to induce fruit maturation in sweet cherries. ABA metabolite levels were high at the immature stage and decreased with fruit maturation. This fact suggests that fruit may not need ABA in the early stage of fruit development. It was considered that DPA may be the major metabolite of ABA since the concentrations were higher than PA and epi-DPA at all stages of fruit development. ABA concentrations increased at the beginning of seed maturation and then decreased toward harvest. This decrease may be necessary to end seed dormancy. DPA in seeds changed similarly with ABA but its concentrations were always higher than those of ABA.
