ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GOLGI FROM COCCOLITHUS PELAGICUS (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE)1

Cells of the marine alga Coccolithus pelagicus (Wal-lich)J. Schiller grown in axenic cultures were homogenized and fractionated. The distribution of organelle markers was assessed enzymatically after centrifugation through zonal, density, and flotation gradients made with sucrose, sorbitol, or Percoll. Mitochondria (1.19 g·cm^-3) and chloroplasts (1.15 g·cm^-3) were recovered in sucrose gradients at densities similar to those observed for higher plants and most algae. The position of endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane in the gradients was monitored by NADPH cytochrome c reductase and vanadate-sensitive Mg²⁺-ATPase, respectively. Higher plant Golgi markers, latent undine diphosphatase (UDPase) and glucan synthase I, were colocalized at a density range including two peaks of activity at 1.13–1.15 g·cm^-3. Bound calcium was associated with high density (1.15 g·cm^-3) membranes. Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase was found at high levels on membranes that did not coisolate with the latent UDPase-containing membranes. The Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase, a possible participant during calcification, was associated with a chloroplast-enriched fraction in all the organelle separation systems. However, about 30% of the total activity was separated from both the chloroplasts and Golgi on 0–70% Percoll gradients containing 0.4 M sucrose. The possible relationship of the Golgi and the high-density organelle exhibiting Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase to coccolithogenesis and the process of calcification and crystal formation is discussed.     

V- AND P-TYPE Ca2+-STIMULATED ATPases IN A CALCIFYING STRAIN OF PLEUROCHRYSIS SP. (HAPTOPHYCEAE)

Coccolithophorids are marine unicellular algae characterized by their ability to carry out controlled, subcellular calcification. The biochemical and kinetic features of membrane-bound Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPases have been examined. Membranes and organelles from axenic cultures of Pleurochrysis sp. (CCMP299) were isolated by means of sucrose density centrifugation. High levels of Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase were detected in chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, and coccolith vesicles. The sensitivity of the enzyme activity in the organelles and membranes was assessed with pharmacologic agents that are known to be specific for the several isoforms of Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase. The Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase activity in the Golgi and coccolith vesicle preparations was sensitive to nitrate, thiocyanate, and sodium azide and insensitive to vanadate, cyclopiazonic acid, and thapsigargin. ATP-dependent H⁺ movement, but not ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ transport, across the coccolith vesicle was demonstrated. The Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase in the plasma membrane preparation was sensitive to vanadate. ATP-dependent, vanadate-sensitive efflux of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ was demonstrated for microsomal material derived from gradient-isolated plasma membrane. Polypeptides from isolated Golgi and coccolith vesicle preparations cross-reacted to an antibody raised against a subunit of the oat root proton pump, whereas polypeptides from the chloroplast preparations did not cross-react. These findings show that a V-type Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase is located on the coccolith vesicle membrane and a P-type Ca²⁺-stimulated ATPase is located on the plasma membrane.     

THE FLAGELLAR APPARATUS OF CHRYSOCHROMULINA SP. (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE)1

The flagellar apparatus of an undescribed species of Chrysochromulina Lackey that bears “eyelash” scales is reconstructed. The transitional region consists of two transitional plates each with an axosome, with no stellate pattern between them. Fine osmiophilic rings lie between the flagellar membrane and the outer doublets in the transitional region. The two jagella and the haptonema are inserted in a subapical depression that is lined ventrally by a spine-like projection formed by one of the parietal chloroplasts. The angles of insertion are similar to those of some other Chrysochromulina species in that both the haptonema and the right basal body lie at an extreme angle to the left basal body. The connectives of the apparatus consist of a striated distal band with a dorsal extension to the R1 and a ventral extension overlying the R2, a striated distal accessory band, an auxiliary connective from the right basal body to the adjacent ventral chloroplast, a well-developed intermediate band, two striated proximal bands, and a striated proximal accessory band. Of the microtubular roots in this Chrysochromulina species, three are associated with the left side of the cell (an R1 of 8+3; a small crystalline compound root, the R1C, associated with the R1; an R2 of three micro-tubules), and two are associated with the right basal body (an R3 of 2/2 microtubules with which the single-stranded R4 converges to form a 2/2+1 and then a 2/3 tiered arrangement). Comparisons are drawn with other species in the genus and related genera, particularly Prymne-sium.     

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF PRYMNESIUM NEMAMETHECUM SP. NOV. (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE)1

Based on material collected from Cape Town, a new sand-dwelling, marine species of Prymnesium is described. Using light and electron microscopy, Prymnesium nemamethecum sp. nov. has been found to resemble other species of the genus in size, organelle arrangement, and swimming behavior. It differs from other described species in that it has three types of scales, one of which is confined to the region of appendage insertion and forms a sheath of simple plate scales over the haptonema. In addition, the scales constituting the proximal body scale layer(s) are unusual because they are not simple plate scales but are specifically ornamented.     

STRUCTURE AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HAPTONEMA IN CHRYSOCHROMULINA (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE). I. FINE STRUCTURE OF THE FLAGELLAR/HAPTONEMATAL ROOT SYSTEM IN C. ACANTHA AND C. SIMPLEX1

The intracellular structural relationships between the flagella and haptonema in Chrysochromulina acantha Leadbeater & Manton (Prymnesiophyceae) were studied in detail and a reconstruction is presented. Three micro-tubular roots are associated with the flagellar apparatus. The largest, consisting of a sheet of approximately 20 microtubules, has its origins at the base of the left basal body. The main body of microtubules passes over the surface of a mitochondrion toward the left chloroplast and apparently terminates at a pair of microtubules oriented perpendicularly to it. Four microtubules diverge from the sheet and pass behind the left basal body. Two other roots–one consisting of a 2 + 2 + 1 arrangement of microtubules, the other of a single microtubule only—are associated with the right basal body. The two basal bodies are connected by distal and proximal fibers, and they are linked also to the base of the haptonema, three fibers extending from the haptonemal base to the right basal body, one only to the left. An additional fiber extending from the right basal body passes between the left basal body and the base of the haptonema, terminating at the largest microtubular root. Lateral extensions link this fiber to both the left basal body and the haptonematal base. Negative staining of isolated root systems of C. simplex Estep et al. shows that the arrangement of microtubules and fibrous connections is similar to that in C. acantha. The root system of C. acantha is compared to those of other members of the Prymnesiophyceae.     

COLONY FORMATION AND SEXUAL MORPHOGENESIS IN THE COCCOLITHOPHORE PLEUROCHRYSIS SP. (HAPTOPHYTA)1

Pleurochrysis sp. formed two types of symmetrical, diploid colonies on solid media: (i) single‐cell lineage (SCL) colonies and (ii) aggregation (AG) colonies. The first division of a single mother cell was asymmetric in ～54% of SCL colonies. These colonies developed at a slower rate than AG colonies. Diffusible molecules released from the cells acted like morphogens enhancing formation of AG colonies; their influence on chemotaxis of aggregating cells was dependent on concentration of the inoculum. Nitrogen depletion of diploid colonies induced sexual morphogenesis and colony patterning into inner and outer regions. The smaller innermost cells were surrounded by outer larger cells. Developmental mechanisms of colony formation were examined in relation to the heteromorphic, haplo‐diploid life cycle.     

EFFECTS OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS AVAILABILITY ON THE EXPRESSION OF THE COCCOLITH‐VESICLE V‐ATPASE (SUBUNIT C) Of PLEUROCHRYSIS (HAPTOPHYTA)1

The coccolithophores Emiliania and Pleurochrysis demonstrate increased coccolith production when growth is reduced by nitrate or phosphate limitation. The function of enhanced coccolith production under these conditions and its regulation have not been resolved. Studies at the molecular level are ideally suited to determine the exact relationship between calcification and other cellular functions. In a previous study we provided evidence for the presence of a vacuolar H⁺‐ATPase on coccolith vesicle membranes of P. carterae. These trans‐Golgi–derived vesicles are the sites of coccolith production, with each vesicle containing one coccolith. In this study, expression of the vap gene, encoding subunit c of the vacuolar H⁺‐ATPase, was investigated. Our objective was to explore potential relationships between vap expression, nutrient‐dependent growth, and calcification. Specifically, we monitored vap expression relative to two genes, fcp and pcna, whose expression was previously shown to vary with growth conditions; fcp encodes a fucoxanthin chl a/c‐binding protein, and pcna encodes the proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Relative to the expression of pcna and fcp, vap expression was highest at nutrient concentrations where growth curves and chl a patterns indicated arrest of cell division. Our results indicate that the level of vap expression does not decrease when cell growth diminishes.     

INCOMPLETENESS OF THE COCCOSPHERE AS A POSSIBLE STIMULUS FOR COCCOLITH FORMATION IN PLEUROCHRYSIS CARTERAE(PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE)1

Pleurochrysis carterae is a marine biflagellate that produces calcified structures called coccoliths. The coccoliths are formed inside the cells and released from the latter after formation. The light dependence of calcium incorporation in this species was studied using⁴⁵Ca as a tracer. Cells exposed to a repeating cycle of 16 h of light and 8 h of darkness incorporated calcium in extracellular coccoliths at a more or less constant rate throughout a cycle. The cells divided during the dark periods with a concomitant decrease in size. Their size increased during the light periods Coccolith formation in cells incubated in continuous darkness was greatly reduced and finally ceased. These cells did not divide and did not increase in size. Removal of extracellular coccoliths prior to the calcium incorporation experiments stimulated coccolith formation both in dark-incubated cells and in cells exposed to a repeating light-dark cycle. Cells in the stationary phase of growth ceased producing coccoliths. Calcification could be induced in these cells by removal of the extracellular coccoliths. Based on these findings we suggest that cells of Pleurochrysis carterae tend to produce a complete cover of coccoliths and that the available cell surface is a factor controlling coccolith formation.

STRUCTURE AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HAPTONEMA IN CHRYSOCHROMULINA (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE). II. MECHANISMS OF HAPTONEMATAL COILING AND THE REGENERATION PROCESS1

The axoneme in the free part of the haptonema in Chrysochromulina acantha Leadbeater & Manton and C. simplex Estep et al. consists of seven single microtubules, except in the extreme distal swelling where, in C. simplex, there are only three microtubules. In the extended haptonema, the microtubules are arranged in a ring though they are not evenly spaced, the gap between two of the microtubules being larger than that between any other neighboring pairs. In the coiled haptonema, rearrangement of the microtubules occurs so that the ring becomes distorted and the microtubules form two superposed arcs. A sliding microtubule mechanism is considered as a means by which haptonematal movement might be affected, and this is discussed in relation to the fine structure of both embedded material and negatively stained demembranated cells. We show that haptonematal coiling is dependent on the presence of calcium ions and that an external concentration of between 10^?6 and 10^?7 M Ca²⁺ is the threshold below which the frequency of coiling on cell death is reduced. The results of experiments using ethylene bis-(oxyethylenenitrilo)-tetracetic acid (EGTA) and lanthanum ions to control extracellular and intracellular Ca²⁺ concentrations are discussed in terms of both external free calcium and intracellular pools. We also show that haptonematal regeneration following excision begins with a short lag phase. This is followed by a period of rapid growth, decreasing after approximately 4 h. Full haptonematal regrowth is not achieved until after 12–15 h. The rate of haptonematal regeneration is strongly affected when the flagella are regenerating simultaneously. These observations are interpreted in terms of competition for intracellular precursors.     

OCCURRENCE OF PHYIWATED CHLOROPHYLL c IN ISOCHRYSIS GALBANA AND ISOCHRYSIS SP. (CLONE T-ISO) (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE)1

The pigment composition of two clones of Isochrysis galbana Parke (CCMP 1323 and CCAP 927/1), and Isochrysis sp. (clone T-ISO) was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography using a polymeric octadecylsilica column. Fluorescent peaks with retention times higher than chlorophyll a were detected for all three clones. The corresponding pigments were isolated and characterized in terms of their visible absorbance and fluorescence spectra. The pigments were similar to phytol-substituted chlorophyll c, previously isolated from Emiliania huxleyi (Lohm.) Hay and Mohler and other species containing chlmophyll c₃. The presence of phytol-substituted chlorophyll c in I. galbana which lacked chlorophyll c₃, increases the diversity of chlorophyll patterns for the Haptophyta, which can be grouped, at present, into six different pigment types. This is the jrst observation of a haptophyte containing the apolar phytylated chlorophyll c-like pigment but lacking chlorophyll c₃.     

心肌细胞核Ca2+库特点及其调节的离体研究

研究核外Ca~(2+)浓度对核Ca~(2+)的影响,及细胞核Ca~(2+)摄取和释放的关系,以探讨核Ca~(2+)转运的调节机制。采用差速离心和密度梯度离心法分离纯化心肌细胞核,以Fluo-4/AM荧光指示剂负载心肌细胞核,应用激光共聚焦扫描显微镜和荧光分光光度计进行观察和测定。结果显示,分离纯化的成年大鼠心肌细胞核内自由[Ca~(2+)]随着核外[Ca~(2+)]的增加而逐渐增加,孵育液[Ca~(2+)]为1000 nmol/L达高峰,但二者增加的程度并不一致,之后随核外[Ca~(2+)]浓度的增加而呈降低趋势。ATP和100—600nmol/L的核外游离Ca~(2+),使心肌细胞核显示核被膜腔Ca~(2+)荧光,ATP和1000nmol/L的核外游离Ca~(2+)则进一步引起核浆内的Ca~(2+)荧光强度升高。荧光染色观察可见IP_3受体染色主要位于核内膜,而钙泵和ryanodine受体染色主要位于核外膜。IP_3和Ryancodine使核Ca~(2+)短暂升高1.68倍和1.93倍(P<0.001),而钙泵抑制剂Thapsigargin和IP_3受体抑制剂Heparin则分别使核Ca~(2+)降低64%和35.6%(p<0.05)。ryanodine使IP_3升高的核Ca~(2+)显著回落至正常水平以下(p<0.001)。Thapsigargin不能阻断IP_3和Ryanodine所致的核Ca~(2+)释放增加(p<0.05),但事先采用钙泵抑制剂Thapsigargin预处理心肌细胞核,则能显著的阻断IP_3和Ryanodine所致的核Ca~(2+)升高作用(Ca~(2+)释放作用)(p<0.05)。结果提示大鼠心肌细胞核可能也是细胞内的钙库之一,心肌细胞核上存在Ca~(2+)-ATPase、ryanodine受体和IP_3受体等Ca~(2+)转运系统,可能参与核Ca~(2+)摄取和释放的调节。     

THE FLAGELLAR APPARATUS OF GYMNODINIUM SP. (DINOPHYCEAE)1

The detailed structure of the flagellar apparatus has been determined in a small dinoflagellate of the genus Gymnodinium. Although diminutive, this dinoflagellate possesses a complex flagellar apparatus consisting of a posteriorly directed microtubular root, a transverse striated fibrous root, several striated fibrous connectives that attach the basal bodies to one another as well as to the different roots, and a conspicuous non-striated fibrous connective that directly links the posteriorly directded microtubular root with the extended lobe of the nucleus. This represents the second discovery of a nuclear connective linked to the flagellar apparatus in the Dinophyceae but is the first report to elucidate the spatial relationships of the connective with the flagellar apparatus and the cell. A detailed diagrammatic reconstruction is provided and the similarities between these flagellar apparatus features are compared with those known for other dinoflagellates. Additionally, the structure and displacement of the nuclear connective are compared with nuclear connectives described in other protists.     

TESTING THE EFFECTS OF ELEVATED PCO2 ON COCCOLITHOPHORES (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE): COMPARISON BETWEEN HAPLOID AND DIPLOID LIFE STAGES1

The response of Emiliania huxleyi (Lohmann) W. W. Hay et H. Mohler, Calcidiscus leptoporus (G. Murray et V. H. Blackman) J. Schiller, and Syracosphaera pulchra Lohmann to elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂) was investigated in batch cultures. We reported on the response of both haploid and diploid life stages of these three species. Growth rate, cell size, particulate inorganic carbon (PIC), and particulate organic carbon (POC) of both life stages were measured at two different pCO₂ (400 and 760 parts per million [ppm]), and their organic and inorganic carbon production were calculated. The two life stages within the same species generally exhibited a similar response to elevated pCO₂, the response of the haploid stage being often more pronounced than that of the diploid stage. The growth rate was consistently higher at elevated pCO₂, but the response of other processes varied among species. Calcification rate of C. leptoporus and of S. pulchra did not change at elevated pCO₂, whereas it increased in E. huxleyi. POC production and cell size of both life stages of S. pulchra and of the haploid stage of E. huxleyi markedly decreased at elevated pCO₂. It remained unaltered in the diploid stage of E. huxleyi and C. leptoporus and increased in the haploid stage of the latter. The PIC:POC ratio increased in E. huxleyi and was constant in C. leptoporus and S. pulchra. Elevated pCO₂ has a significant effect on these three coccolithophore species, the haploid stage being more sensitive. This effect must be taken into account when predicting the fate of coccolithophores in the future ocean.     

Distribution of Secretory Pathway Ca 2+ ATPase (SPCA1) in Neuronal and Glial Cell Cultures

1. Secretory pathway Ca²⁺ ATPase type 1 (SPCA1) is a newly recognized Ca²⁺/Mn²⁺-transporting pump localized in membranes of the Golgi apparatus.2. The expression level of SPCA1 in brain tissue is relatively high in comparison with other tissues.3. With the aim to determine the expression of SPCA1 within the different types of neural cells, we investigated the distribution of SPCA1 in neuronal, astroglial, oligodendroglial, ependymal, and microglial cell cultures derived from rat brains.4. Western Blot analysis with rabbit anti-SPCA1 antibodies revealed the presence of SPCA1 in homogenates derived from neuronal, astroglial, ependymal, and oligodendroglial, but not from microglial cells.5. Cell cultures that gave rise to positive signal in the immunoblot analysis were also examined immunocytochemically.6. Immunocytochemical double-labeling experiments with anti-SPCA1 serum in combination with antibodies against cell-type specific proteins showed a localization of the SPCA1signal within cells stained positively also for GFAP, α-tubulin or MBP.7. These results definitely established the expression of SPCA1 in astroglial, ependymal, and oligodendroglial cells.8. In addition, the evaluation of neuronal cultures for the presence of SPCA1 revealed an SPCA1-specific immunofluorescence signal in cells identified as neurons.     

胃粘膜Na~+-K~+-Mg~(2+)-ATPase在适应性细胞保护机制中的作用

本文观察了胃粘膜(Na~+-K~+-Mg~(2+))-ATPase在适应性细胞保护机制中的作用,并分析了其与内源性PG的关系。结果表明,哇巴因(一种(Na~+-K~+-Mg~(2+))-ATPase的抑制剂)可部分抑制胃蛋白酶150U(溶于0.1mol/L盐酸中)和20％乙醇的适应性细胞保护作用,并呈现明显的量效关系。用上述两种弱刺激灌胃后15min,胃粘膜(Na~+-K~+-Mg~(2+))-ATPase活力明显升高,也呈现明显的量效关系。预先给予消炎痛以抑制内源性PG的合成,则可阻断弱刺激所诱发的胃粘膜(Na~+-K~+-Mg~(2+))-ATPase活力的升高;若在此基础上再给予外源性PGE_2,又可解除消炎痛的阻断作用。这些结果说明,弱刺激通过内源性PG,进而促进胃粘膜(Na~+-K~+-Mg~(2+))-ATPase活力升高,使粘膜抵抗损伤的能力增强,可能是其保护作用的重要机制之一。     

THF INFLUENCE OF IRRADIANCE ON THF BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE PRYMNESIOPHYTE ISOCHRYSIS SP. (CLONE T-ISO)1

The effects of irradiance on the biochemical composition of the prymnesiophyte microalga, Isochrysis sp. (Parke; clone T-ISO), a popular species for mariculture, were examined. Cultures were grown under a 12:12 h light: dark (L:D) regime at five irradiances ranging from 50 to 1000 μE·m ²·s^?1 and harvested at late-logarithmic phase for analysis of biochemical composition. Gross composition varied aver the range of irradiances. The highest levels of protein were present in cells from cultures grown at 100 and 250 μE·m ³·s¹, and minimum levels of carbohydrate and lipid occurred at 50 μE·m^?2·s^?1. Because the cell dry weight was reduced at lower irradiances, different trends were evident when results were expressed as percentage of dry weights. Protein percentages were highest at Wand 100 μE·m^?2·s^?1 and carbohydrate at 100 μE·m^?2·s^?1. The composition of amino acids did not differ over the range of irradiances. Glutamate and aspartate were always present in high proportions (9.0–13.5%); histidine. methionine, tryptophan, cystine, and hydroxy-proline were minor constituents (0.0–2.6%). Glucose was the predominant sugar in all cultures, ranging from 23.0% (50 μE·m^?2·s^?1) to 45.0% (100 μE·m^?2·s^?1) of total polysaccharide. No correlation was found between the proportion of any of the sugars and irradiance. The proportions of the lipid class components and fatty acids showed little change with irradiance. The main fatty acids were 14:0, 16:0, 16:1(n-7), 18:1(n-9), 18:3(n-3). 18:4(n-3), 18:5(n-3), and 22:6(n-3). Proportions of 22: 6(n-3) increased, whereas l8:3(n-3). 18:3(n-6). and 18:4(n-3) decreased, with increasing irradiance. Pigment concentrations were highest in cultures grown at 50 μE·m^?2·s^?1, except for fucoxanthin and diadinoxanthin (100 μE·m^?2·s^?1). The concentrations of accessory pigments correlated with chlorophyll a, which decreased in concentration with increasing irradiance. On the basts of biochemical composition, an irradiance of 100 μE·m^?1·s^?1 (12:12 h L:D cycle)for the culture of Isochrysis sp. (clone T-ISO) may provide optimal nutritional value for maricultured animals, although feeding trials are now necessary to substantiate this.     

水霉(Soprolegnia fer ax)生长菌丝顶端细胞内游离Ca~(2 )和膜结合Ca~(2 )的分布

本文比较和研究了水霉(Saprolegnia ferax)生长菌丝顶端胞内Fluo-3游离Ca~(2 )和CTC膜结合Ca~(2 )的荧光分布影像。激光共焦扫描显微镜下观察可见:Fluo-3荧光有房室化现象,Fluo-3荧光反映的是细胞质游离Ca~(2 )与细胞器游离Ca~(2 )总的分布状况,Fluo-3游离Ca~(2 )的最大荧光强度出现在菌丝顶端2—10μm区域,10μm以后荧光强度逐渐下降,约40μm以后荧光降到很低,值得注意的是菌丝顶端2μm以前存在一个低荧光强度区。CTC膜结合Ca~(2 )的荧光影像显示:pH6.8或8.0的条件下菌丝最顶端2μm以前的区域都不能被染色,但pH8.0条件下的荧光较pH6.8弥散而强烈,代表线粒体的蠕虫状荧光斑点不再能够清晰辨认,说明其它细胞器也被染色,但菌丝顶端仍然不能被着色。结合菌丝顶端DIC和超微结构分析说明,菌丝顶端泡囊不是一个Ca~(2 )库,线粒体和内质网等是菌丝胞内重要的Ca~(2 )库。本文结果还澄清了有关菌丝内细胞质游离Ca~(2 )分布的矛盾报道。
