Microsomal membranes isolated from red beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) storage tissue were found to contain high levels of ionophore-stimulated ATPase activity. The distribution of this ATPase activity on a continuous sucrose gradient showed a low density peak (1.09 grams per cubic centimeter) that was stimulated over 400% by gramicidin and coincided with a peak of NO 3−-sensitive ATPase activity. At higher densities (1.16-1.18 grams per cubic centimeter) a shoulder of gramicidin-stimulated ATPase that coincided with a peak of vanadate-sensitive ATPase was apparent. A discontinuous sucrose gradient of 16/26/34/40% sucrose (w/w) was effective in routinely separating the NO 3−-sensitive ATPase (16/26% interface) from the vanadate-sensitive ATPase (34/40% interface). Both membrane fractions were shown to catalyze ATP-dependent H + transport, with the transport process showing the same differential sensitivity to NO 3− and vanadate as the ATPase activity. Characterization of the lower density ATPase (16/26% interface) indicated that it was highly stimulated by gramicidin, inhibited by KNO3, stimulated by anions (Cl− > Br− > acetate > HCO3− > SO42−), and largely insensitive to monovalent cations. These characteristics are very similar to those reported for tonoplast ATPase activity and a tonoplast origin for the low density membrane vesicles was supported by comparison with isolated red beet vacuoles. The membranes isolated from the vacuole preparation were found to possess an ATPase with characteristics identical to those of the low density membrane vesicles, and were shown to have a peak density of 1.09 grams per cubic centimeter. Furthermore, following osmotic lysis the vacuolar membranes apparently resealed and ATP-dependent H+ transport could be demonstrated in these vacuole-derived membrane vesicles. This report, thus, strongly supports a tonoplast origin for the low density, anion-sensitive H+-ATPase and further indicates the presence of a higher density, vanadate-sensitive, H+-ATPase in the red beet microsomal membrane fraction, which is presumably of plasma membrane origin. 相似文献

The H +/ATP stoichiometry was determined for the plasma membrane H +-ATPase from red beet ( Beta vulgaris L., var Detroit Dark Red) storage tissue associated with native vesicles. The determination of H +/ATP stoichiometry utilized a kinetic approach where rates of H + influx, estimated by three different methods, were compared to rates of ATP hydrolysis measured by the coupled enzyme assay under identical conditions. These methods for estimating H + influx were based upon either determining the initial rate of alkalinization of the external medium from pH 6.13, measuring the rate of vesicle H + leakage from a steadystate pH gradient after stopping the H +-ATPase or utilizing a mathematical model which describes the net transport of H + at any given point in time. When the rate of H + influx estimated by each of these methods was compared to the rate of ATP hydrolysis, a H +/ATP stoichiometry of about 1 was observed. In consideration of the maximum free energy available from ATP hydrolysis (ΔG atp), this value for H +/ATP stoichiometry is sufficient to account for the magnitude of the proton electrochemical gradient observed across the plasma membrane in vivo. 相似文献

The molecular weight and isoelectric point of the plasma membrane H +-ATPase from red beet storage tissue were determined using N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) and a H +-ATPase antibody. When plasma membrane vesicles were incubated with 20 micromolar [ 14C]-DCCD at 0°C, a single 97,000 dalton protein was visualized on a fluorograph of a sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel. A close correlation between [ 14C]DCCD labeling of the 97,000 dalton protein and the extent of ATPase inhibition over a range of DCCD concentration suggests that this 97,000 dalton protein is a component of the plasma membrane H +-ATPase. An antibody raised against the plasma membrane H +-ATPase of Neurospora crassa cross-reacted with the 97,000 dalton DCCD-binding protein, further supporting the identity of this protein. Immunoblots of two-dimensional gels of red beet plasma membrane vesicles indicated the isoelectric point of the H +-ATPase to be 6.5. 相似文献

Two distinct membrane fractions containing H +-ATPase activity were prepared from red beet. One fraction contained a H +-ATPase activity that was inhibited by NO 3− while the other contained a H +-ATPase inhibited by vanadate. We have previously proposed that these H +-ATPases are associated with tonoplast (NO 3−-sensitive) and plasma membrane (vanadate-sensitive), respectively. Both ATPase were examined to determine to what extent their activity was influenced by variations in the concentration of ATPase substrates and products. The substrate for both ATPase was MgATP 2−, and Mg 2+ concentrations in excess of ATP had only a slight inhibitory effect on either ATPase. Both ATPases were inhibited by free ATP ( i.e. ATP concentrations in excess of Mg 2+) and ADP but not by AMP. The plasma membrane ATPase was more sensitive than the tonoplast ATPase to free ATP and the tonoplast ATPase was more sensitive than the plasma membrane ATPase to ADP. Inhibition of both ATPases by free ATP was complex. Inhibition of the plasma membrane ATPase by ADP was competitive whereas the tonoplast ATPase demonstrated a sigmoidal dependence on MgATP2− in the presence of ADP. Inorganic phosphate moderately inhibited both ATPases in a noncompetitive manner. Calcium inhibited the plasma membrane but not the tonoplast ATPase, apparently by a direct interaction with the ATPase rather than by disrupting the MgATP2− complex. The sensitivity of both ATPases to ADP suggests that under conditions of restricted energy supply H+-ATPase activity may be reduced by increases in ADP levels rather than by decreases in ATP levels per se. The sensitivity of both ATPases to ADP and free ATP suggests that modulation of cytoplasmic Mg2+ could modulate ATPase activity at both the tonoplast and plasma membrane. 相似文献

The pH-dependent fluorescence quenching of acridine orange was used to study the Na +- and K +-dependent H + fluxes in tonoplast vesicles isolated from storage tissue of red beet and sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.). The Na +-dependent H + flux across the tonoplast membrane could be resolved into two components: (a) a membrane potential-mediated flux through conductive pathways; and (b) an electroneutral flux which showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics relationship to Na + concentration and was competitively inhibited by amiloride ( Ki = 0.1 millimolar). The potential-dependent component of H + flux showed an approximately linear dependence on Na + concentration. In contrast, the K +-dependent H + flux apparently consisted of a single component which showed an approximately linear dependence on K + concentration, and was insensitive to amiloride. Based on the Na +- and K +-dependent H + fluxes, the passive permeability of the vesicle preparation to Na + was about half of that to K +. The apparent Km for Na+ of the electroneutral Na+/H+ exchange varied by more than 3-fold (7.5-26.5 millimolar) when the internal and external pH values were changed in parallel. The results suggest a simple kinetic model for the operation of the Na+/H+ antiport which can account for the estimated in vivo accumulation ratio for Na+ into the vacuole. 相似文献

Artificial pH gradients across tonoplast vesicles isolated from storage tissue of red beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) were used to study the kinetics of a Ca 2+/H + antiport across this membrane. Ca 2+-dependent H + fluxes were measured by the pH-dependent fluorescence quenching of acridine orange. ΔpH-dependent Ca 2+ influx was measured radiometrically. Both H + efflux and Ca 2+ influx displayed saturation kinetics and an identical dependence on external calcium with apparent Km values of 43.9 and 41.7 micromolar, respectively. Calcium influx was unaffected by an excess of Mg 2+ but was inhibited by La 3+ > Mn 2+ > Cd 2+. The apparent Km for external calcium was greatly affected (5-fold) by internal pH in the range of 6.0 to 6.5 and a transmembrane effect of internal proton binding on the affinity for external calcium is suggested. 相似文献

Morphologically intact and osmotically active vacuoles were isolated from root storage tissue of the red beet Beta vulgaris L., and the factors influencing both yield and stability of the vacuoles were determined. Successful isolation depended upon slicing the tissue in an apparatus specifically designed to cut open plant cells without the use of high shear forces and to liberate cellular organelles into an undisturbed reservoir of osmoticum. The resulting brei was centrifuged at 2,000g for 10 min to yield a pellet which contained many vacuoles but which also contained tissue fragments, nuclei, mitochondria, and plastids. The vacuoles were further purified by accelerated flotation through a Metrizamide step gradient. Biochemical assays, light microscopy, and electron microscopy confirmed that there was only trace contamination of the final vacuole preparation by other organelles. Isolated vacuoles were intact and retained their in vivo coloration. 相似文献

An anion-sensitive H +-translocating ATPase was identified in membrane vesicles isolated from mature green tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit. The H +-ATPase was associated with a low density membrane population having a peak density of 1.11 grams per cubic centimeter, and its activity was inhibited by NO 3−, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and diethylstilbestrol but not by vanadate, azide, molybdate, or oligomycin. This H +-ATPase has an unusual pH dependence indicating both a slightly acidic and a near neutral peak of activity. Chloride was found to be a potent stimulator of ATPase activity. The Km for the H +-ATPase was approximately 0.8 millimolar ATP. The characteristics of this H +-ATPase are very similar to those described for a number of plant cell tonoplast H +-ATPases suggesting that the activity identified in tomato fruit membranes is tonoplast-associated. This report demonstrates the feasibility of isolating tonoplast vesicles from acidic fruit tissues for studies of transport activities associated with fruit development and maturation. 相似文献

The syringomycin-stimulated in vitro protein phosphorylation of the plasma membrane H +-ATPase of red beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) storage tissue was investigated. Peptides representing the H +-ATPase N and C termini and nucleotide binding site (P-2, P-3, and P-1, respectively) were synthesized, and rabbit antisera against each were produced. In western immunoblots of purified plasma membranes, these antisera immunoreacted with the 100-kilodalton polypeptide of the H +-ATPase and with other smaller polypeptides. The smaller polypeptides appeared to be degraded forms of the intact 100-kilodalton polypeptide. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that plasma membranes treated with syringomycin had increased protein phosphorylation rates of the 100-kilodalton polypeptide. Optimal phosphorylation levels were achieved with 25 micromolar free Ca 2+. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine were detected in the immunoprecipitates. Washed immunoprecipitates generated with anti-P-1 possessed protein phosphorylation activity. This immunoprecipitate activity was not stimulated by syringomycin, but it was inhibited when plasma membranes were treated with sodium deoxycholate before immunoprecipitation. The findings show that syringomycin stimulates the phosphorylation of the plasma membrane H +-ATPase and that specific protein kinase(s) are probably associated with the enzyme. 相似文献

Calcium uptake was examined in sealed plasma membrane vesicles isolated from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) storage tissue using (45)Ca(2+). Uptake of (45)Ca(2+) by the vesicles was ATP-dependent and radiotracer accumulated by the vesicles could be released by the addition of the calcium ionophore A23187. The uptake was stimulated by gramicidin D but slightly inhibited by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. Although the latter result might suggest some degree of indirect coupling of (45)Ca(2+) uptake to ATP utilization via deltamuH(+), no evidence for a secondary H(+)/Ca(2+) antiport in this vesicle system could be found. Following the imposition of an acid-interior pH gradient, proton efflux from the vesicle was not enhanced by the addition of Ca(2+) and an imposed pH gradient could not drive (45)Ca(2+) uptake. Optimal uptake of (45)Ca(2+) occurred broadly between pH 7.0 and 7.5 and the transport was inhibited by orthovanadate, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and diethylstilbestrol but insensitive to nitrate and azide. The dependence of (45)Ca(2+) uptake on both calcium and Mg:ATP concentration demonstrated saturation kinetics with K(m) values of 6 micromolar and 0.37 millimolar, respectively. While ATP was the preferred substrate for driving (45)Ca(2+) uptake, GTP could drive transport at about 50% of the level observed for ATP. The results of this study demonstrate the presence of a unique primary calcium transport system associated with the plasma membrane which could drive calcium efflux from the plant cell. 相似文献

Tonoplast enriched membrane vesicle fractions were isolated from unadapted and NaCl (428 millimolar) adapted tobacco cells ( Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38). Polypeptides from the tonoplast enriched vesicle fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blots using polyclonal antibodies to the 70 kilodalton subunit of the red beet tonoplast H +-ATPase. These antibodies cross-reacted exclusively to a tobacco polypeptide of an apparent molecular weight of 69 kilodaltons. The antibodies inhibited ATP-dependent, NO 3− sensitive H + transport into vesicles in tonoplast enriched membrane fractions from both unadapted and NaCl adapted cells. The relative H + transport capacity per unit of 69 kilodalton subunit of the tonoplast ATPase of vesicles from NaCl adapted cells was fourfold greater than that observed for vesicles from unadapted cells. The increase in specific H + transport capacity after adaptation was also observed for ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

The phosphorylation of plasma membrane proteins from red beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) by radioactive inorganic phosphate was studied. Only few proteins were phosphorylated, among them was one polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of about 100,000. The phosphorylation of this protein was decreased when orthovanadate was present in the reaction mixture, or when the phosphorylated protein was treated with hydroxylamine. These facts suggest that this protein is a transport ATPase which is phosphorylated in a carboxyl group during the catalytic cycle. This protein was identified immunologically as the plasma membrane H +-ATPase. The phosphorylation level of this enzyme was enhanced by dimethyl sulfoxide, whereas potassium ions did not have a significant effect on this level unless ATP was present. ATP stimulated the phosphorylation by inorganic phosphate. This stimulation was more apparent in the presence of potassium ions. 相似文献

The effects of inorganic phosphate on the plasma membrane H +-ATPase of red beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) were studied. ATPase activity was inhibited weakly and noncompetitively by phosphate. This anion also relieved the inhibition caused by vanadate by displacing it from the enzyme. From this effect, a dissociation constant for phosphate of 25 millimolar and an extrapolated activity at infinite phosphate concentration of 84% of the activity without inhibitors were calculated. The partial inhibition by phosphate indicates the existence of a catalytically active enzyme-phosphate complex. In the presence of 24% dimethylsulfoxide, the inhibition of ATPase activity by phosphate is much greater than in its absence. This suggests that the active enzyme-phosphate complex could be converted into a covalent phosphoenzyme through a dehydration promoted by the low water activity of the medium. The inhibitory ability of phosphate in 24% dimethylsulfoxide was dependent on the presence of potassium. Potassium ions increased both the affinity for phosphate and the inhibition caused by an infinite phosphate concentration, suggesting that potassium stimulates both phosphate binding and phosphoenzyme formation. 相似文献

A method for the solubilization and reconstitution of red beet (1,3)-β- d-glucan synthase with the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS) was developed. Glucan synthase was effectively solubilized from microsomal or plasma membranes by 0.6% CHAPS in the presence of EGTA and EDTA. Chelators were found essential for effective solubilization and divalent cations inhibitory. A preextraction of membranes with 0.3% CHAPS and 5 millimolar Mg 2+ prior to the solubilization step was found to remove protein contaminants and increase the specific activity of the solubilized enzyme. Conditions for recovering activity from Sepharose 4B gel filtration columns were defined. Addition of phospholipids and low levels of CHAPS in column elution buffers resulted in complete functional reconstitution with 100% recovery of added activity. Specific activities were increased 20- to 22-fold over microsomes. Active vesicles were recovered by centrifugation. These results provide independent and direct confirmation of the enzyme's requirement for a phospholipid environment. 相似文献

Sucrose-induced changes of the energization state of the red beet root (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. conditiva) vacuolar membrane were observed with the fluorescent dyes 6-chloro-9-{[4-(diethylamino)- 1-methylbutyl]-amino}-2-methoxyacridine dihydrochloride, as a pH monitor, and 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine (ACMA). Consequently, transient acidification of the surrounding suspension medium could be measured with a pH electrode. This signal was specific for Suc and was not seen for sorbitol, mannitol, or maltose. Sucrose-induced medium acidification was sensitive to the same inhibitors that were efficient in inhibiting sucrose transport, including the monoclonal antibodies TNP56-12 and C50-5-3. It was seen with vacuoles and vesicles energized with MgATP before sucrose was added but also with vacuoles not artificially energized previously. Using bafilomycin A1 for the inhibition of the vacuolar ATPase of vacuoles previously energized by MgATP, apparent Km values for H+ export from the vacuoles to the medium could be calculated taking into account the passive proton leak. Apparent Km values for H+ export determined from data obtained with pH measurements in the medium and with ACMA corresponded to those obtained previously for sucrose uptake. Comparing sucrose uptake rates with corresponding H+ export rates at the respective sucrose concentrations and at Km, a stoichiometry of approximately one proton per transported sucrose was estimated. 相似文献

The synthesis of acid invertase during washing of red beet storageroots has been investigated using protein synthesis inhibitors,antibiotics, and antibodies raised against the purified invertase.Acid invertase increased during the first 3 d of washing thendecreased, with the rates of both processes dependent on temperature.Concomitantly, acid phosphatase declined throughout this period.Activity gels confirmed the increase in the level of activeinvertase protein. The increase in activity was prevented bycycloheximide, monensin, tunicamycin, and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone.Leakage of betanin was measured and ultrastructural observationsundertaken to ensure these compounds had no non-specific effects.Immunoblotting confirmed the synthesis of a new 65 kDa invertaseduring washing and its subsequent loss. The location of theinvertase was investigated by immunoblotting of proteins invacuoles isolated from fresh and washed storage root discs,and indicated that the invertase is localized in the vacuole.The results are discussed in relation to the synthesis and targetingof invertase during the changes induced by washing.

Translocation profiles along the path were studied using a modified flap-feeding technique for the simultaneous application of THO and 14C-sucrose. A re-evaluation of a mathematical model for phloem transport with reversible lateral exchange of tracer along the path indicates that lower apparent velocities for THO as compared to labeled carbohydrate are primarily due to extensive lateral exchange of THO along the conduction path. Path-chilling experiments support the concept that THO and 14C-sucrose exhibit different lateral exchange characteristics. The data presented are consistent with a solutionflow mechanism. 相似文献

Calcium transport was examined in microsomal membrane vesicles from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) storage tissue using chlorotetracycline as a fluorescent probe. This probe demonstrates an increase in fluorescence corresponding to calcium accumulation within the vesicles which can be collapsed by the addition of the calcium ionophore A23187. Calcium uptake in the microsomal vesicles was ATP dependent and completely inhibited by orthovanadate. Centrifugation of the microsomal membrane fraction on a linear 15 to 45% (w/w) sucrose density gradient revealed the presence of a single peak of calcium uptake which comigrated with the marker for endoplasmic reticulum. The calcium transport system associated with endoplasmic reticulum vesicles was then further characterized in fractions produced by centrifugation on discontinous sucrose density gradients. Calcium transport was insensitive to carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone indicating the presence of a primary transport system directly linked to ATP utilization. The endoplasmic reticulum vesicles contained an ATPase activity that was calcium dependent and further stimulated by A23187 (Ca(2+), A23187 stimulated-ATPase). Both calcium uptake and Ca(2+), A23187 stimulated ATPase demonstrated similar properties with respect to pH optimum, inhibitor sensitivity, substrate specificity, and substrate kinetics. Treatment of the red beet endoplasmic reticulum vesicles with [gamma-(32)P]-ATP over short time intervals revealed the presence of a rapidly turning over 96 kilodalton radioactive peptide possibly representing a phosphorylated intermediate of this endoplasmic reticulum associated ATPase. It is proposed that this ATPase activity may represent the enzymic machinery responsible for mediating primary calcium transport in the endoplasmic reticulum linked to ATP utilization. 相似文献

The preparation of an extract from leaves of spinach beet ( Betavulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris), which catalysed, the activationof cinnamate, is described. The reaction required CoA and wasmost rapid under nitrogen in the presence of thiol reagents.An enzyme which activated acetate was also present but was distinguishableby its indifference to thiol reagents and air during the reactionand its greater stability during storage under air. Extractscatalysing cinnamate activation could be prepared only fromrapidly growing leaves at the height of the growth season. 相似文献
