The polyamines are cell constituents essential for growth and differentiation. S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) catalyzes a key step in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) is an anti-leukemic agent with a strong inhibitory effect against AdoMetDC. However, the lack of specificity limits the usefulness of MGBG. In the present report we have used an analog of MGBG, diethylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (DEGBG), with a much greater specificity and potency against AdoMetDC, to investigate the effects of AdoMetDC inhibition on cell proliferation and polyamine metabolism in mouse L1210 leukemia cells. DEGBG was shown to effectively inhibit AdoMetDC activity in exponentially growing L1210 cells. The inhibition of AdoMetDC was reflected in a marked decrease in the cellular concentrations of spermidine and spermine. The concentration of putrescine, on the other hand, was greatly increased. Treatment with DEGBG resulted in a compensatory increase in the synthesis of AdoMetDC demonstrating an efficient feedback control. Cells seeded in the presece of DEGBG ceased to grow after a lag period of 1–2 days, indicating that the cells contained an excess of polyamines which were sufficient for one or two cell cycles in the absence of polyamine synthesis. The present results indicate that analogs of MGBG, having a greater specificity against AdoMetDC, might be valuable for studies concerning polyamines and cell proliferation. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) at 0.5 mm had little effect in vitro on Blastocrithidia culicis, Crithidia oncopelti, and Leishmania spp., but completely inhibited growth of Trypanosoma brucei. Inhibition became irreversible after a 3-h exposure of T. brucei culture procyclics. Treated organisms remained motile, but failed to divide. Polyamines, spermidine, and spermine, did not reverse the anti-trypanosome action of MGBG (preloading of cells or concurrent administration). Two intraperitoneal injections of the drug at a concentration of 50 mg kg body weight at a 1-day interval greatly reduced the parasitemia of T. brucei and T. congolense in rats. Trypanosome infections, however, relapsed and killed the animals in 6 days after treatment. It was evident from the results of tracer experiments with T. brucei that MGBG significantly lowered incorporation of [3H]thymidine by culture procyclics and of [3H]uridine by bloodstream forms; in both stages [3H]leucine incorporation was only slightly inhibited. It is suggested that MGBG interferes with nucleoside incorporation by Trypanosoma and that its mode of action is different in bloodstream and culture procyclics. 相似文献

The effects of methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) on decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.50) activity were studied in the mouse kidney stimulated to growth by testosterone administration. The drug was found to be a potent inhibitor of the enzyme in vitro. Administration of methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) in vivo resulted in a transient inhibition followed by a strong enhancement of the enzyme activity. Dialysis of the kidney extract, to remove remaining methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), revealed a great and rapid increase in the activity of decarboxylase. Injections of testosterone to castrated mice resulted in a marked increase in kidney weight and an accumulation of renal putrescine, spermidine and spermine. These effects of testosterone could not be blocked by simultaneous injections of methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone). It appears that due to secondary effects by which the inhibition of methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) on decarboxylase activity is circumvented the inhibitor seems to be of uncertain value in attempts to decrease selectively the in vivo levels of polyamines. 相似文献

A new assay for the evaluation of spermidine (Spd) synthase activity was developed. It involves a coupled reaction and avoids the use of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine, which is unstable and not easily available. This assay was applied to assess changes in enzyme activity in oat leaves subjected to osmotic stress in the dark. The results indicate that osmotically-induced putrescine (Put) accumulation in cereals results not only from the activation of the arginine decarboxylase pathway, but also from the inhibition of the activity of Spd synthase, the enzyme which catalyzes the transformation of Put to Spd. Other possibilities which could contribute to the decline of Spd and spermine levels under osmotic stress are also discussed.Abbreviations ADC

ABSTRACT. Methylglyoxal bis (guanylhydrazone), (MGBG) a potent competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase activity, Berenil, a trypanocidal agent and chloroquine, the commonly used antimalarial resulted in a dose dependent inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. The IC50 values of MGBG, Berenil and chloroquine were 224 μM, 40 μM and 42 nM respectively. Parasites treated with different concentrations of MGBG or Berenil were arrested at the trophozoite stage of the erythrocytic cycle. The combined action of chloroquine (10 nM) with either Berenil (0.1 mM) or MGBG (0.1 mM) on P. falciparum growth showed an additive inhibitory effect. The effect of these inhibitors alone and in combination on polyamine biosynthesis is also reported. 相似文献

MGBG [methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone)], when added to the initial of callus subculture, promoted ethylene production in callus grawn in Bsh medium, and enhanced the ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid) level and the ACC synthase activity both in the callus grown in Bsh medimn, and in the suspension cultures in Bsg liquid medium for induction of somatic embryogenesis. However, MGBG reduced the malonyl-ACC (MACC) level of the suspension tissues. The treatments of MGBG caused growth of the cultured tissues and induction efficiency of somatic embryogenesis to reduce. Moreover, the effects of MGBG was enhanced when it was added at induction medium of somatic embryogenesis. It could be concluded that this inhibitory effect of MGBG could be due to its promotion of ethylene, ACC levels and ACC synthase activity which has shown to inhibit somatic embryogenesis. The reduction of MACC level could be also involved in the MGBG effect on induction of the embryogenesis. 相似文献

The ATPase activity present in plasmalemma-enriched preparations from maize coleoptiles shows an optimum at pH 6, a strong dependence on Mg2+, and is stimulated by K+ and other monovalent cations, both organic and inorganic. The activation of ATPase by K+ obeys Michaelis Menten kinetics, saturation being reached at 50 mM K+ concentration. K+, Mg2+-stimulated ATPase activity is strongly inhibited by N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and by diethylstilbestrol and, to a lesser extent, by octylguanidine.Abbreviations DCCD

Cytoplasmic membranes from mycelium or protoplasts of Saprolegnia monoica (a cellulosic cell-wall fungus) were separated by continuous sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. Glucan synthases assayed at low (micromolar uridine 5-diphosphate (UDP) glucose for -1-4-glucan synthase) and high (millimolar UDP glucose for -1-3-glucan synthase) substrate concentrations were associated with membranes exhibiting vanadate-sensitive, oligomycin-insensitive ATPase and equilibrating at density 1.16 g cm-3. Synthase activities were also bound to membranes of lower density (1.10 and 1.145 g cm-3). Plasma membranes were stabilized by coating protoplasts with concanavalin A. After lysis of the protoplasts, plasma membranes recovered by low centrifugal forces were isolated in continuous isopycinic gradients. Both synthase activities peaked with [3H]concanavalin A and Na-vanadate ATPase indicating that the synthetases are located at the plasma membrane. Treatments of intact protoplasts with cold glutaraldehyde or proteases before disruption lead to a diminution of glucan-synthase activities indicating that at least part of the enzymes of plasma membrane face the outside of the cell.Abbreviations ConA

S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) is a pyruvoyl cofactor-dependent enzyme that participates in polyamine biosynthesis. AdoMetDC from the Archaea Methanococcus jannaschii is a prototype for a recently discovered class that is not homologous to the eucaryotic enzymes or to a distinct group of microbial enzymes. M. jannaschii AdoMetDC has a Km of 95 microm and the turnover number (kcat) of 0.0075 s(-1) at pH 7.5 and 22 degrees C. The turnover number increased approximately 38-fold at a more physiological temperature of 80 degrees C. AdoMetDC was inactivated by treatment with the imine reductant NaCNBH3 only in the presence of substrate. Mass spectrometry of the inactivated protein showed modification solely of the pyruvoyl-containing subunit, with a mass increase corresponding to reduction of a Schiff base adduct with decarboxylated AdoMet. The presteady state time course of the AdoMetDC reaction revealed a burst of product formation; thus, a step after CO2 formation is rate-limiting in turnover. Comparable D2O kinetic isotope effects of were seen on the first turnover (1.9) and on kcat/Km (1.6); there was not a significant D2O isotope effect on kcat, suggesting that product release is rate-limiting in turnover. The pH dependence of the steady state rate showed participation of acid and basic groups with pK values of 5.3 and 8.2 for kcat and 6.5 and 8.3 for kcat/Km, respectively. The competitive inhibitor methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) binds at a single site per (alphabeta) heterodimer. UV spectroscopic studies show that methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) binds as the dication with a 23 microm dissociation constant. Studies with substrate analogs show a high specificity for AdoMet. 相似文献

Alkaloid uptake into vacuoles isolated from a Fumaria capreolata L. cell suspension culture was investigated. The uptake is carrier-mediated as shown by its substrate saturation, its sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors and especially by its exclusive preference for the (S)-forms of reticuline and scoulerine while the (R)-enantiomers which do not occur in this plant species were strictly discriminated. The carrier has a high affinity for (S)-reticuline with a K
m=0.3 M. The rate of alkaloid uptake was 6 pmol·h-1·l-1 vacuole, and 0.03 mg alkaloid·mg-1 vacuolar protein were taken up. Transport was stimulated five-to seven-fold by ATP and was inhibited by the ATPase inhibitors N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2 disulfonic acid, as well as by the protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. A number of alkaloids did not compete with labelled (S)-reticuline for uptake into vacuoles. The uptake system is absolutely specific for alkaloids indigenous to the plant from which the vacuoles were isolated. Slight modifications of the topography of an alkaloid molecule even with full retention of its electrical charge results in its exclusion. Alkaloid efflux was also shown to be mediated by a highly specific energy-dependent carrier. These results contradict the previously proposed ion-trap mechanism for alkaloid accumulation in vacuoles. A highly specific carrier-mediated and energy-dependent proton antiport system for alkaloid uptake and release is postulated.Abbreviations CCCP

Comparison of the kinetic properties,inhibition and labelling of the phosphate translocators from maize and spinach mesophyll chloroplasts 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The kinetic properties of the phosphate translocator from maize (Zea mays L.) mesophyll chloroplasts have been determined. We have used a double silicone-oil-layer centrifugation system in order to obtain true initial uptake rates in forward-reaction experiments. In addition, it was possible to perform back-exchange experiments and to study the effects of illumination and of preloading the chloroplasts with different substrates on transport. It is shown that the phosphate translocator from mesophyll chloroplasts of maize, a C4 plant, transports inorganic phosphate and phosphorylated C3 compounds in which the phosphate group is linked to the C3 atom (e.g. 3-phosphoglycerate and triose phosphate). The affinities of the transported metabolites towards the translocator protein are about one order of magnitude higher than in mesophyll chloroplasts from the C3 plant, spinach. In contrast to the phosphate translocator from C3-mesophyll chloroplasts, that of C4-mesophyll chloroplasts catalyzes in addition the transport of C3 compounds where the phosphate group is attached to the C2 atom (e.g. 2-phosphoglycerate, phosphoenolpyruvate). The phosphate translocator from both chloroplast types is strongly inhibited by pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and 4,4-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS). In the case of the spinach translocator protein these inhibitors were shown to react with the same amino-acid residue at the substrate binding site, and one molecule of either DIDS or PLP is obviously required per substrate binding site for the inactivation of the translocation process. In the functionally active dimeric translocator protein only one substrate-binding site appears to be accessible at a particular time, indicating that the site might be exposed to each side of the membrane in turn. Using [3H]-H2DIDS for the labelling of maize mesophyll envelopes the radioactivity was found to be associated with two polypeptides of about 29 and 30 kDa. Since Western-blot analysis showed that only the 30 kDa polypeptide reacted with an antiserum directed against the spinach phosphate translocator protein it is suggested that this polypeptide presumably represents the phosphate translocator from maize mesophyll chloroplasts.Abbreviations DIDS

The sialidase secreted byClostridium chauvoei NC08596 was purified to apparent homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, hydrophobic interaction-chromatography, FPLC ion-exchange chromatography, and FPLC gel filtration. The enzyme was enriched about 10 200-fold, reaching a final specific activity of 24.4 U mg–1. It has a relatively high molecular mass of 300 kDa and consists of two subunits each of 150 kDa. The cations Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ and bovine serum albumin have a positive effect on the sialidase activity, while Hg2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+, chelating agents and salt decrease enzyme activity. The substrate specificity, kinetic data, and pH optimum of the enzyme are similar to those of other bacterial sialidases.Abbreviations FPLC

Glyoxysomal citrate synthase (gCS) was purified from crude extracts of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons, yielding a homogenous protein with a subunit MW of 48 kDa. The enzyme was selectively inhibited by 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), allowing quantification in the presence of the mitochondrial isoenzyme (mCS). Differences were also observed with respect to inhibition by ATP (k
i=2.6 mmol · l-1 for gCS, k
i=0.33 mmol · l-1 for mCS). The antibodies prepared against gCS did not cross-react with mCS. The immunocytochemical localization of gCS by the indirect protein A-gold procedure was restricted to the glyoxysomal membrane or the peripheral matrix of glyoxysomes. Other compartments, e.g. the endoplasmic reticulum, were not labeled. Xenopus oocytes were used for the translation of watermelon polyadenylated RNA (poly(A)+RNA). A translation product with a MW of 51 kDa was immunoprecipitated by the anti-gCS antibodies. It was absent in controls without poly(A)+RNA or with preimmune serum. A similar translation product was also immunoprecipitated after cell-free synthesis of watermelon poly(A)+RNA in a reticulocyte system, in contrast to the in-vivo labeled gCS (48 kDa). It was concluded that gCS is synthesized as a higher-molecular-weight precursor.Abbreviations DTNB

Treatments with methylglyoxal-bis (guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) apparently decreased pollen fertility and bagged seed settings of Nongken 58S short day fertile rice plants, without affecting its normal growth. 10 - 4 mol·L- 1 MGBG was the optimum concentration for short day fertile rice plants, whereas MGBG in different concentrations did not function very well when spraying on long day sterile rice plants. The treatment mainly reduced the seed settings of the middle and bottom branches in short days and had little effect on those of the top branches. MGBG treatment resulted in an increase of putrescine content and a reduction of spermidine and spennine; the latter of which could be inferred as one of the causes of sterility. 相似文献

The effects of methylglyoxal-bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG), an inhibitor of polyamine biosynthesis were studied on tuberization and cellular polyamine content using in vitro Solanum tuberosum (cv Binjte) plants. When MGBG was added to the culture medium, it produced a partial inhibition of the growth of stems and leaves; it totally blocked rhizogenesis and strongly stimulated tuber formation. Morphogenetic effects of MGBG were correlated to a 40 % decrease in free putrescine, spermidine, spermine content of the leaves and to a 28 % decrease in spermidine titer of the stems. In the tubers, this inhibitor did not change the free polyamine titer but increased by up to 85 % the titer of conjugated putrescine, spermidine, spermine. When the plants were grown in the dark, MGBG produced, like benzyladenine, a stimulation of the rate of tuberization and enhanced the content of conjugated polyamines in the tuber. These results support the hypothesis that polyamines play an important role in the morphogenesis of potato plants. The role of polyamine conjugation in tuber development is discussed. 相似文献

Crude Ca2+-activated protein kinase from membranes of apple (Malus domestica L. Borkh., Cox's Orange Pippin) fruit can be partially purified to yield a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase whose activity is apparently not regulated by calmodulin. The autophosphorylating catalytic subunit of this protein kinase shows a Ca2+-dependent mobility shift of approx. 10 kilodaltons (kDa) on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; in the absence of added Ca2+ or ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) its apparent molecular mass is approx. 50 kDa. The Ca2+-dependent protein kinase is inhibited by the calmodulin antagonists N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulphonamide and trifluoperazine with IC50 values of approx. 45 M and 15 M, respectively. These similarities between the protein kinase and calmodulin indicate that the kinase may be a calmodulin-like protein.Abbreviations DEAE

The biotransformation of abscisic acid (ABA) was studied in cell suspension cultures of Lycopersicon esculentum. The ABA was converted by the cells to phaseic acid, nigellic acid, dihydrophaseic acid, abscisic acid--D-glucopyranosyl ester (ABA-Glc) and other ABA and phaseic acid conjugates. Investigation of their cellular distribution showed that the conjugated forms were located only in the vacuoles whereas ABA and its acidic metabolites were found mainly in the extravacuolar fractions. Our results, together with a number of studies on the increase of ABA-Glc as a response to stress, allow us to propose that ABA-Glc is irreversibly compartmented in the vacuoles of plant cells.Abbreviations ABA

Tracheary-element (TE) differentiation in suspension-cultured mesophyll cells of Zinnia elegans L. was completely inhibited by caffeine and theophylline only when these methylxanthines were applied at least 8 h prior to the appearance of secondary cell-wall thickenings. In contrast, the calcium-channel blocker nifedipine completely inhibited TE differentiation when applied only 2–3 h prior to the onset of secondary cell-wall deposition. This indicates the involvement of a methylxanthine-inhibitable event in TE differentiation that is distinguishable from an event dependent on influx of extracellular calcium. The correlation between the time of appearance of chlorotetracycline fluorescence (an indicator of sequestered Ca2+) and loss of methylxanthine effectiveness indicates that inhibition by methylxanthines may result from release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Methylxanthines with high potencies against adenosine 3 5-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase and adenosine receptors were less effective inhibitors of TE differentiation, indicating that inhibition of differentiation by methylxanthines is independent of cAMP metabolism. The role of cAMP in transduction of the cytokinin signal, which was proposed previously on the basis of stimulation of TE differentiation by theophylline, was investigated using the non-hydrolyzable analog 8-bromo-cAMP. Although 8-bromo-cAMP stimulated differentiation in the absence of inductive concentrations of cytokinin, the non-cyclic analog 8-bromo-AMP was even more effective, indicating that 8-bromo-cAMP behaves as a cytokinin analog, rather than a second messenger, in stimulating TE differentiation.Abbreviations 8-bromo-AMP

Premethylation of purified porcine cardiac sarcolemma (SL) in the presence of 0.15, 10 and 150 µM S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) did not change the phosphorylation of SL proteins catalyzed either by intrinsic cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK) or by added catalytic (C) subunit of this enzyme. On the other hand, membrane exhibited increased lipid methyltransferase activity after preincubation with MgATP and C subunit. Prephosphorylation of membranes stimulated the total [3H]-methyl incorporation into SL lipids assayed at 0.15 µM [3H]AdoMet due to an enhancement of Vmax and without changes in the Km value for AdoMet. Analysis of the methylated lipid products revealed an increased methyl group incorporation into a nonpolar lipid fraction whereas phosphatidylethanolamine-N-methylation was not affected by phosphorylation. The results suggest that the cyclic AMP-mediated signal transduction at the level of cardiac SL is not affected by methylation-induced modifications of the membrane lipid microdomains. On the other hand, an intrinsic SL lipid methyltransferase activity is apparently not related to the N-methylation of phospholipids, is modulated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein phosphorylation.Abbreviations AdoMet

The cyclic 35-nucleotide phosphodiesterase D3 was purified from Sinorhizobium fredii MAR-1. The native enzyme had a molecular weight of approximately 44.5kDa and a subunit molecular weight of approximately 21kDa as judged by SDS-gel electrophoresis. The pH optimum of the enzyme for the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP was approximately 6.0 with both acetate and Tris-maleate buffers. The optimum temperature for hydrolysing cyclic AMP was approximately 50C. No metal ion was required for activity and EDTA up to 2.5mM did not markedly affect the enzyme. However, methylxanthines, adenine and adenosine as well as 5-AMP, ATP, ADP and metal ions like Zn2+, Fe2+, Pb2+, Al3+ and Fe3+, were strongly inhibitory at 2.5mM.The D3 enzyme could hydrolyse both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP with the apparent K
m for cyclic AMP of approximately 0.23M. 相似文献
