Embryogenic suspension cultures of domesticated carrot (Daucus carota L.) are characterized by the presence of proembryogenic masses (PEMs) from which somatic embryos develop under conditions of low cell density in the absence of phytohormones. A culture system, referred to as starting cultures, was developed that allowed analysis of the emergence of PEMs in newly initiated hypocotyl-derived suspension cultures. Embryogenic potential, reflected by the number of FEMs present, slowly increased in starting cultures over a period of six weeks. Addition of excreted, high-molecular-weight, heat-labile cell factors from an established embryogenic culture considerably accelerated the acquisition of embryogenic potential in starting cultures. Analysis of [35S]methionine-labeled proteins excreted into the medium revealed distinct changes concomitant with the acquisition of embryogenic potential in these cultures. Analysis of the pattern of gene expression by in-vitro translation of total cellular mRNA from starting cultures with different embryogenic potential and subsequent separation of the [35S]methionine-labeled products by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated a small number of abundant in-vitro-translation products to be present in somatic embryos and in embryogenic cells but absent in nonembryogenic cells. Several other in-vitro-translation products were present in explants, non-embryogenic and embryogenic cells but were absent in somatic embryos. Hybridization of an embryoregulated complementary-DNA sequence, Dc3, to RNA extracted from starting cultures showed that the corresponding gene is expressed in somatic embryos and PEMs but not in non-embryogenic cells.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - cDNA complementary DNA - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - PEM proembryogenic mass  相似文献

The patterns of in vivo protein synthesis in soybean cell suspensions were compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after the cells had been submitted to different stress conditions : treatment with Phytophthora megasperma (Pmg) cell wall elicitors, 2,4-D starvation and heat shock (HS) temperatures. Changes in protein synthesis patterns induced after elicitation of cell suspensions or after infection of soybean hypocotyls by Pmg were found to be similar to changes brought about by auxin starvation of the cells. Changes common to both stress situations involve a prominent 17 kDa peptide family and 27, 29, 35 and about 45 kDa peptides. Moreover, defense reactions, i.e. glyceollin accumulation and synthesis of chalcone synthase (CHS) were also strongly stimulated in auxin-starved cells. On the contrary, although characteristic sets of low molecular weight heat shock (HS) proteins were synthesized by cells grown at 37°C, no clear similarity was observed with peptides characteristic of auxin-starved cells.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - Pmg Phytophthora megasperma Drechs f.sp.glycinea - HS heat shock - PR pathogenesis-related - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - IEF isoelectrofocusing - iP isoelectric point - kDa kilodalton - P17 17 kDa peptide group of soybean cells cultured in vitro - CHS chalcone synthase  相似文献

Chalcone synthase was isolated from illuminated buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum M.) hypocotyls and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using (NH)4SO4 fractionation, gel filtration on AcA 44, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Bio-Gel, and HPLC on hydroxylapatite. The properties of the enzyme were pH optimum, 8.0; Mr approximately 83,000 +/- 1000; Mr subunit, approximately 41,500 +/- 500; isoelectric point, pH 5.2; Km, 1 X 10(-6)M for malonyl-CoA, and 0.6 X 10(-6) M for p-coumaryl-CoA. Buckwheat chalcone synthase used p-coumaryl-CoA as substrate and also utilized caffeyl-CoA and ferulyl-CoA at 20 and 80%, respectively, of the rate of p-coumaryl-CoA in the chalcone synthase reaction. Antibodies against the buckwheat chalcone synthase were developed in a New Zealand white rabbit and characterized for specificity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion, and Western blotting.  相似文献

Konno, H., Yamasaki, Y. and Katoh, K. 1987. Purification of an α-L-arabinofurano-sidase from carrot cell cultures and its involvement in arabinose-rich polymer degradation.
An α-L-arabinofuranosidase (α-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.55) was isolated from a homogenate of cell suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki). The buffer-soluble enzyme was purified to homogeneity by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-150, Con A-Sepharose 4B and CM-Sephadex C-50, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The size of this enzyme as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium laurylsulfate and by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration was 94 and 110 kDa, respectively. The isoelectric point was at pH 4.7. The Km and Vmax values for p-nitrophenyl α-L-arabinofuranoside were 1.33 mM and 20.2 μimol (mg protein)-1 h-1, respectively. The optimal activity occurred at pH 4.2 with Mcllvaine buffer. The enzyme was stimulated by Ca2+ and Zn2+, whereas it was strongly inhibited by Cu2+, Ag2+, Hg2+, p-chloromercuri-benzoate and L-arabono-l,4-lactone. The enzyme acted on beet arabinan in an exo-fashion. Furthermore, the enzyme was partially involved in the hydrolysis of the ara-binogalactan and pectic polymer purified from carrot cell walls.  相似文献

Gibberellic acid (GA3) inhibition of anthocyanin accumulation by carrot cell-suspension cultures was reversed by supplying dihydroquercitin or naringenin to the culture and not by supplying 4-coumaric acid or malonic acid. This suggested that gibberellic acid was inhibiting chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, or acetyl CoA carboxylase. Acetyl-CoA-carboxylase specific activity was the same in GA3-treated and untreated cultures and was not detected in cultures treated with uniconazole, an inhibitor of gibberellic acid biosynthesis. Chalcone-isomerase specific activity was lower in GA3-treated cultures than in untreated cultures and was lower in uniconazole-treated cultures than in the GA3-treated cultures. The total chalcone synthase activity in extracts from GA3- and from uniconazole-treated cells was not significantly different from that in extracts of untreated tissue. When these extracts were chromatographed on a Mono Q column, three peaks of chalcone synthase activity were found in extracts of nontreated cells, whereas only two of these peaks were detected in extracts of GA3-treated cells. The extracts from GA3-treated cells did not contain the peak of chalcone synthase activity that, in untreated cells, preceded the main peak. The correlation between the absence of this peak and the inhibition of anthocyanin accumulation suggests that this form of chalcone synthase is responsible for anthocyanin synthesis and that GA3 prevents this form from appearing in the cells.  相似文献

Exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PGase, EC 3.2.1.67) activity has been detected in a culture filtrate of cell suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki). The extracellular exo-PGase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion-exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was calculated to be 48 kDa from Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, and 50 kDa from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE after treatment with SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol. The isoelectric point was at pH 6.2. The Km and Vmax values for polygalacturonate (degree of polymerization: 52) were 14.4 μ M and 25.6 μmol (mg protein)−1 h−1, respectively. The optimal activity in McIlvaine's buffer occurred at pH 4.6. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Ba2+, Cu2+, Mn2+ and Hg2+. The enzyme was involved in ca 15% hydrolysis of the acidic polymer purified from carrot pectic polysaccharides, and connected with the release of galacturonic acid. Even after an exhaustive reaction the enzyme had, however, little or no effect on cell walls from carrot cell cultures.  相似文献

Time-course changes in anthocyanin accumulation, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity and chalcone synthase activity were examined in roselle callus tissues incubated under different culture conditions. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity was not affected by either the kind of auxin supplemented to the medium or light regime. In contrast, chalcone synthase activity was markedly suppressed when the callus was cultured with a medium containing indole-3-acetic acid instead of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) or in the dark. The results imply that in roselle callus cultures chalcone synthase plays a more important role in anthocyanin biosynthesis regulated by 2,4-D and light irradiation than phenylalanine ammonialyase.Abbreviations LS Linsmaier and Skoog - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - PAL phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - CHS chalcone synthase  相似文献

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS) activities from cell suspension cultures of Daucus carota were shown to copurify on (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, DEAE Sephadex and methotrexate-Sepharose affinity chromatography and to share approximately the same Mr(183 kDa and 185 kDa respectively) as judged by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200.The copurified protein migrated as a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions.Both activities could be eluted from the same position of the native gel.Moreover, methotrexate-resistant cell lines which overproduce DHFR revealed to have a parallel higher level of TS. It is therefore proposed and discussed that in carrot, similarly to protozoa, TS and DHFR are present on a single bifunctional polypeptide of 58 kDa.  相似文献

When anthocyanin synthesis was induced in cell suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kurodagosun) by transfer to medium lacking 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5), chalcone synthase (CHS, EC 6.-.-.-), and chalcone-flavanone isomerase (CHFI, EC 5.5.1.6) activities appeared, reaching maxima 6–7 days after transfer. The maximum specific activity of CHS was much lower than that of PAL or CHFI. In a medium containing 2,4-D, no anthocyanin was synthesized, PAL and CHFI activities were suppressed and CHS activity could not be detected at all. The activities of PAL and CHS in cells cultured without 2,4-D for 6 days began to decrease within 3–6 h of 2,4-D addition. CHS activity was completely repressed 24–36 h after the addition, but CHFI activity was almost unchanged at this time. After culture without 2,4-D for 6 days, cell suspensions were transferred to fresh media either lacking or containing 2,4-D. After transfer, PAL increased in both media within 3 h, whereas CHS activity and anthocyanin accumulation were coordinated and both were completely regulated by 2,4-D. Changes in CHS activity rather than PAL activity correlate with changes in anthocyanin accumulation under various culture conditions.  相似文献

Ultraviolet light induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in cell cultures of an Afghan cultivar of Daucus carota (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus). Simultaneous treatment with a fungal elicitor from Pythium aphanidermatum results in an inhibition of the catalytic activity of chalcone synthase (CHS), which in turn correlates with an inhibition of anthocyanin biosynthesis. On immunoblots, one isoenzyme (40 kDa) of CHS disappears upon elicitor treatment. On an mRNA level, only the mRNA for the 40-kDa-CHS is active after treatment with ultraviolet light. After inhibition of anthocyanin biosynthesis by the elicitor the enzyme protein disappears and the CHS mRNA is strongly diminished. This inhibition depends on the concentration of the elicitor. In addition, elicitor treatment leads to an induction of the general phenylpropanoid pathway as well as to the accumulation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid which is covalently bound to wall polysaccharides of the carrot cells. The possible function of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in providing precursors for 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is discussed.Abbreviations CHI chalcone isomerase - CHS chalcone synthase - PAL phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis We are grateful to Professor K.

Highly purified exo-polygalacturonase was obtained from suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki) by dialysis at pH 5.2, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and on Sephadex G-150, and preparative polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme did not attack the isolated carrot cell walls directly, but it had some effect on pectic polysaccharides extracted from the walls. The extracted polysaccharides were fractionated by DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography yielding four carbohydrate fractions. The major fraction (P-3) was then reacted with the exo-polygalacturonase. The enzyme treatment resulted in hydrolysis of approximately 18% of the glycosyl linkages of fraction P-3 with the release of galacturonic acids. The molecular size estimated by Bio-Gel A-5m gel filtration was not markedly affected by the enzyme action, but the percentage of galacturonosyl residues was clearly reduced. The specific activity of exo-polygalacturonase changed during the growth cycle, in relation to the cell growth.  相似文献

Stilbene synthase ( resveratrol -forming) converts one molecule of rho- coumaroyl -CoA and three molecules of malonyl-CoA into 3,4',5- trihydroxystilbene . Following selective induction of stilbene synthesis in cell suspension cultures of peanut (Arachis hypogaea), the enzyme was extracted and purified to apparent homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite. The enzyme was found to be a dimer of estimated Mr = 90,000 exhibiting under denaturing conditions a subunit Mr of approximately 45,000. The isoelectric point was determined with pI = 4.8. The enzyme's high selectivity towards rho- coumaroyl -CoA (Km = 2 microM) as substrate qualified it as resveratrol -forming stilbene synthase. Structurally related CoA esters, e.g. dihydro-rho- coumaroyl -CoA and cinnamoyl-CoA, were converted less than 1/10 as efficiently as rho- coumaroyl -CoA. Malonyl-CoA (Km = 10 microM) could not be substituted by acetyl-CoA. The purified enzyme was free of chalcone synthase activity. Antibodies raised against stilbene synthase were shown to be monospecific and not to cross-react with chalcone synthase.  相似文献

Extracellular proteins, released into the culture medium from alfalfa cells grown in embryogenic and non-embryogenic conditions, were 35S-methionine labelled at different days of culture. SDS-PAGE analysis showed significant differences between the patterns of extracellular proteins secreted into the medium devoid of 2,4-d, in which cells formed somatic embryos, or in presence of 2,4-d, in which undifferentiated cell proliferation took place. Some proteins, evident in 2,4-d-supplied cultures, disappeared when cells were subcultured in the embryogenic conditions. Western analysis with antibodies against the carrot extracellular proteins EP1 and EP2 showed the presence of homologous alfalfa proteins. In 2,4-d depleted alfalfa cells, an EP1-like protein disappeared and another one was reduced, while the presence of the EP2-like protein was, in the same conditions, strongly enhanced.Abbreviations 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - EP extracellular proteins - ns-LTP non specific lipid transfer protein - SDS-PAGE Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

Soluble flavone synthase I from illuminated parsley cells was purified to near homogeneity by a six-step procedure. A molecular mass of 48 +/- 2 kDa was determined by gel permeation chromatography and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A single protein with an isoelectric point at pH 4.8 +/- 0.1 was detected on isoelectric focusing gels, which catalyzed the overall conversion of 2S-flavanones into the corresponding flavones in the presence of molecular oxygen, 2-oxoglutarate, ferrous ion, and ascorbate. Apparent Michaelis constants for 2S-naringenin, 2S-eriodictyol, and 2-oxoglutarate were determined as 5, 8, and 16 microM, respectively. (+)-Dihydrokaempferol and 2R-naringenin were not accepted as substrates. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Cu2+ and Zn2+. Potent competitive inhibition with respect to 2-oxoglutarate was observed with 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylate (Ki = 1.8 microM). With crude extracts as well as with the purified enzyme neither the hypothetical intermediate 2-hydroxyflavanone nor a dehydratase activity capable of converting the chemically synthesized compound to flavone could be observed. Moreover, the introduction of the double bond into the substrate naringenin was not altered by addition of chemically synthesized 2-hydroxynaringenin into the reaction mixture. Therefore, 2-hydroxyflavanones are apparently not freely dissociable intermediates in the biosynthesis of flavones in parsley and are not capable of entering the active site of the enzyme to compete with the flavanone. It is postulated that flavone synthase I catalyzes double-bond formation by direct abstraction of vicinal hydrogen atoms at C-2 and C-3 of the substrate. Thus, flavone synthase I is a member of a novel subgroup within the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases that can be referred to as 2-oxoglutarate-dependent desaturases.  相似文献

Induction of anthocyanin synthesis occurs during metabolic differentiation in carrot suspension cultured cells grown in medium lacking 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and is closely correlated with embryogenesis. Anthocyanin synthesis may also be induced by light-irradiation under different culture conditions. The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene (TRN-PAL), which was transiently induced by the transfer effect, was also rapidly induced after light-irradiation. However, TRN-PAL was not involved in anthocyanin synthesis. A second PAL gene, ANT-PAL, was involved in anthocyanin synthesis. ANT-PAL was induced during metabolic differentiation in medium lacking 2,4-D parallel with the induction of chalcone synthase (CHS). PAL genes in the carrot genome are expressed differentially depending on the nature of the environmental stimulus, e.g. transfer effect and light, and other parameters which also affect anthocyanin synthesis.Abbreviations CHS chalcone synthase - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GUS -glucuronidase - Luc firefly luciferase - PAL phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - UV ultraviolet  相似文献

S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase [EC 3.3.1.1] was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from mastocytoma P-815 cells. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 190,000, as estimated by Sephadex G-200 chromatography, and a monomer molecular weight of 45,000, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS. The Km value for adenosine was 0.29 microM and the Vmax value 4.5 mumol S-adenosylhomocysteine X min-1 X mg-1 in the synthetic reaction, while the Km value for S-adenosylhomocysteine was 0.77 microM and the Vmax 0.48 mumol adenosine X min-1 X mg-1 in the hydrolytic reaction. The purified enzyme also had one binding site for adenosine (KD = 2.61 X 10(-7) M) and one for cAMP (KD = 1.6 X 10(-7) M). Using rabbit antiserum raised against the purified enzyme, it was shown that the enzyme activity and enzyme synthesis fluctuated during the cell cycle of mastocytoma cells, reaching the maximum levels as the cells changed from the G1/S phase to the G2 phase.  相似文献

An NADPH:2'-hydroxydaidzein oxidoreductase (HDR) from elicitor-challenged soybean cell cultures was purified to apparent homogeneity by a five-step procedure. The purification procedure included affinity adsorption on Blue Sepharose and elution of the enzyme with NADP+. It was shown by gel filtration and by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis that HDR consists of only one polypeptide, which has a Mr about 34,700. The pH optimum of the reaction was 7.0. Apparent Michaelis constants determined for 2'-hydroxydaidzein, 2'-hydroxyformononetin, and NADPH were, respectively, 50, 60, and 56 microM. A low conversion of 2'-hydroxygenistein to the corresponding isoflavanone was also observed but isoflavones lacking a 2'-hydroxyl group and various other flavonoids did not serve as substrates. Enzymatically derived 2'-hydroxydihydrodaidzein gave a positive CD spectrum at 328 nm, which shows its 3R stereochemistry. Antibodies against HDR were raised in rats.  相似文献

Rapid changes in the mRNA activity encoding chalcone synthase, a central enzyme involved in isoflavonoid phytoalexin synthesis, were induced in cultured cells of soybean (Glycine max) after treatment with a glucan elicitor from the cell walls of the fungus, Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea, a soybean pathogen. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the in vitro- and in vivo-synthesized chalcone synthase showed that it consisted of a group of proteins of similar molecular weights of about 41,000, but with differing isoelectric points between pH 6.1 and pH 7.1. Total activity of chalcone synthase mRNA increased as early as 40 to 60 min after the onset of elicitor induction, and reached a peak at about 4 h. Treatment with the fungal elicitor caused major changes in the population of total translatable RNA as indicated by two-dimensional electrophoresis of the translation products. The mRNA activities for at least 16 proteins were increased and for at least 4 proteins were decreased. The elicitor-induced changes in the population of translatable mRNA occurred at a rate similar to that observed for chalcone synthase mRNA activity. Our results suggest that soybean cells respond to the glucan elicitor by major metabolic changes at the RNA level including the enhanced capacity for phytoalexin synthesis.  相似文献

The two chalcone-synthase forms from leaves ofSpinacia oleracea L. were purified to apparent homogeneity. Antibodies were raised against both proteins in rabbits. The specificity of the antibodies was tested using immunotitration, immunoblotting, and immunoelectrophoresis techniques. The antibodies exhibited exclusive specificity for chalcone synthase and did not discriminate between the two antigens. The homodimeric chalcone synthases had the same subunit molecular weight but differed in their apparent native molecular weights. The peptide maps indicated extensive homology between the proteins. Chalcone-synthase activity was not detected in isolated spinach chloroplasts. Both enzyme forms were present in spinach cell-suspension cultures in which they were induced by light.Abbreviations DEAE diethylaminoethyl - DTE 1,4-dithioerythritol - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography - IgG immunoglobulin G - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Parts of the results were presented at the 14th International Botanical Congress at Berlin in July 1987  相似文献
