Microsomal membrane vesicles isolated from the petals of young carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv White Sim) flowers accumulate Ca2+ in the presence of ATP. The specific activity of ATP-dependent uptake is ~20 nanomoles per milligram of protein per 30 minutes. The membranes also hydrolyze ATP, but Ca2+ stimulation of ATP hydrolysis was not discernible above the high background of Ca2+-insensitive ATPase activity. The initial velocity of uptake showed a sigmoidal rise with increasing Ca2+ concentration, suggesting that Ca2+ serves both as substrate and activator for the enzyme complex mediating its uptake. The concentration of Ca2+ at half maximal velocity of uptake (S0.5) was 12.5 micromolar and the Hill coefficient (nH) was 2.5. The addition of calmodulin to membrane preparations that had been isolated in the presence of chelators did not promote ATP-dependent accumulation of Ca2+, although this may reflect the fact that the treatment with chelators did not fully remove endogenous calmodulin. Transport of Ca2+ into membrane vesicles was unaffected by 50 micromolar ruthenium red and 5 micromolar sodium azide, indicating that uptake is primarily into vesicles of non-mitochondrial origin. By subfractionating the microsomes on a linear sucrose gradient, it was established that the ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport activity comigrates with endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. During post-harvest development of cut flowers, ATP-dependent uptake of Ca2+ into microsomal vesicles declined by ~70%. This occurred before the appearance of petal-inrolling and the climacteric-like rise in ethylene production, parameters that denote the onset of senescence. There were no significant changes during this period in S0.5 or nH, but Vmax for ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake decreased by ~40%. A similar decline in ATP-dependent uptake of Ca2+ into microsomal vesicles was induced by treating young flowers with physiological levels of exogenous ethylene. 相似文献

Like their eukaryotic counterparts, bacterial cells have a highly organized internal architecture. Here, we address the question of how proteins localize to particular sites in the cell and how they do so in a dynamic manner. We consider the underlying mechanisms that govern the positioning of proteins and protein complexes in the examples of the divisome, polar assemblies, cytoplasmic clusters, cytoskeletal elements, and organelles. We argue that geometric cues, self-assembly, and restricted sites of assembly are all exploited by the cell to specifically localize particular proteins that we refer to as anchor proteins. These anchor proteins in turn govern the localization of a whole host of additional proteins. Looking ahead, we speculate on the existence of additional mechanisms that contribute to the organization of bacterial cells, such as the nucleoid, membrane microdomains enriched in specific lipids, and RNAs with positional information.Our view of the organization of the bacterial cell has changed radically over the past two decades. Once seen as an amorphous vessel harboring a homogeneous solution of proteins, these primitive organisms are now known to have an intricate subcellular architecture in which individual proteins localize to particular sites in the cell, often in a dynamic manner. Of course, bacteria frequently show conspicuous morphological features, such as division septa, flagella, pili, and stalks, which implied a nonuniform, underlying distribution of proteins. But it was not until the early 1990s that it became clear that proteins can, and often do, have distinctive subcellular addresses. Among the earliest discoveries were: (1) the formation of a ringlike structure at the mid cell position by the cytokinetic protein FtsZ (Bi and Lutkenhaus 1991), (2) the clustering of chemotaxis proteins at the poles of cells (Alley et al. 1992), (3) the compartment-specific production of sporulation proteins and their assembly into shell-like structures (Driks and Losick 1991), and (4) the asymmetric distribution of proteins involved in actin polymerization along the cell surface (Goldberg et al. 1993; Kocks et al. 1993). These discoveries were initially made by immunoelectron and immunofluorescence microscopy with fixed cells, but the discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the demonstration that proteins could retain their proper subcellular localization as GFP fusions opened the way to visualizing proteins and their dynamic behavior in living cells, including, importantly, in bacteria (Arigoni et al. 1995).Knowing where proteins are in the cell is often critical to understanding their function. Thus, the position of the aforementioned FtsZ ring (the Z-ring) dictates where cytokinesis will take place (Margolin 2005). The clustering of chemotaxis proteins plays an important role in the extraordinary gain in the responsiveness of chemotatic behavior to small changes in attractants (Ames and Parkinson 2006). Where sporulation proteins are produced and the way in which they assemble governs spore morphogenesis (Stragier and Losick 1996; Errington 2003). The asymmetric distribution of actin-polymerization proteins on the cell surface explains how certain pathogens harness host cytoskeletal proteins for their own motility (Smith et al. 1995). From these and other examples emerge a view of the bacterial cell as a dynamic, three-dimensional system in which protein localization and changes in protein localization over time orchestrate growth, the cell cycle, behavior, and differentiation.Here, after an initial discussion of general principles governing the positioning of proteins within the cell, we consider five broad categories of subcellular localization: the divisome, polar assemblies, cytoplasmic clusters, cytoskeletal elements, and organelles. We end by looking ahead to exciting new aspects of bacterial cytology just emerging from current research. Our goal is not to be comprehensive but rather to focus on examples that are illustrative of general principles of protein localization. Comprehensive treatment of individual topics can be found in other articles on this topic. 相似文献

The ability of carnation petals (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv White Sim) of different ages to convert the cis and trans isomers of 1-amino-2-ethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (AEC) to 1-butene was studied. Young petals, which produce ethylene at a low rate, convert both cis- and trans-AEC to 1-butene with low efficiency and at equal rates. In senescing petals, the rate of conversion of cis-AEC remains low, but there is a marked increase in the rate of trans-AEC conversion. Thus there is a clear evidence of stereodiscrimination between the isomers. Stimulating the rate of senescence by treatment with either 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid or ethylene further increases the rate of trans-AEC conversion. Delaying of petal senescence by silver thiosulphate or aminooxyacetic acid inhibits the rise in trans-AEC conversion. 相似文献

Large molecular-size hemicelluloses, including xyloglucan, decreased in quantity during development of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv White Sim) petals, along with a relative increase in polymers with an average size of 10 kilodaltons. An enzyme extract from senescing petal tissue depolymerized the large molecular-size hemicelluloses in a pattern similar to that occurring in vivo during petal development. The products generated in vitro were composed of polymeric and monomeric components, the latter consisting primarily of xylose, galactose, and glucose. The 10 kilodalton hemicelluloses were resistant to in vitro enzymic hydrolysis. Glycosyl-linkage composition of the large molecular-size polymers provided evidence for the presence of xyloglucan with smaller amounts of arabinoxylan and arabinan. The 10 kilodalton polymers were enriched in mannosyl and 4-linked glucosyl residues, presumably derived from glucomannan. During petal development or enzymic hydrolysis, no change was observed in the relative glycosyl-linkage composition of the large molecular-size hemicelluloses. The in vitro activity of carnation petal enzymes active toward native hemicelluloses increased threefold at the onset of senescence and declined slightly thereafter. Gel chromatography revealed 23 and 12 kilodalton proteins with hemicellulase activity. The enzymes hydrolyzed the large molecular-size hemicelluloses extensively and without formation of monomers. Endoxylanase activity was detected in the partially purified enzyme preparation. Xyloglucan was depolymerized in the absence of cellulase activity, suggesting the presence of a xyloglucan-specific glucanase. These data indicate that the hemicellulose molecular-size changes observed during development of carnation petals are due, in part, to the enzymic depolymerization of large molecular-size hemicelluloses. 相似文献

Soybean (Glycine max) lipoxygenase (LOX) has been proposed to be involved in reserve lipid mobilization during germination. Here, subcellular fractionation studies show that LOX1, -2, -3, -4, -5, and -6 isozymes were associated with the soluble fraction but not with purified oil bodies. The purified oil bodies contained small amounts of LOX1 (<0.01% total activity), which apparently is an artifact of the purification process. Immunogold labeling indicated that, in cotyledon parenchyma cells of LOX wild-type seeds that had soaked and germinated for 4 d, the majority of LOX protein was present in the cytoplasm. In 4-d-germinated cotyledons of a LOX1/2/3 triple null mutant (L0), a small amount of label was found in the cytoplasm. In epidermal cells, LOX appeared in vacuoles of both wild-type and L0 germinated seeds. No LOXs cross-reacting with seed LOX antibodies were found to be associated with the cell wall, plasma membrane, oil bodies, or mitochondria. Lipid analysis showed that degradation rates of total lipids and triacylglycerols between the wild type and L0 were not significantly different. These results suggest that LOX1, -2, -3, -4, -5, and -6 are not directly involved in reserve lipid mobilization during soybean germination. 相似文献

By using the method of stepwise homogenization of yeast spheroplast lysates employed previously with the leucine biosynthetic enzymes, it is shown that threonine deaminase, acetohydroxy acid synthase, Mg(2+)-dependent isomero-reductase, and dihydroxy acid dehydratase are particulate. Density gradient centrifugation and the behavior of marker enzymes suggest that all of the above enzymes of the isoleucine-valine biosynthetic pathway are associated with the mitochondria. 相似文献

Subcellular Localization of 5''-Nucleotidase in Rat Brain 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The subcellular distribution of the ectoenzyme, 5'-nucleotidase, in cerebral cortex and cerebellum of the rat was studied both biochemically and cytochemically. The fractions were characterized biochemically by marker enzymes. The localization of 5'-nucleotidase activity was also investigated cytochemically in the myelin, synaptosomal, mitochondrial, and microsomal fractions. Biochemically 5'-nucleotidase was found to be enriched in the membrane-containing fractions, i.e., myelin, synaptosomal, and microsomal fractions. Cytochemistry showed the reaction product in the myelin fraction to be associated with myelin profiles. In the synaptosomal fraction reaction product could occasionally be seen at synaptosomal membranes, although it could not be attributed unequivocally to the synaptosome itself, since in positions with reaction product unidentifiable membrane structures could always be seen attached. Mitochondria were virtually without any reaction product. In the microsomal fraction 5'-nucleotidase activity was associated with unidentifiable membrane structures. It is concluded that 5'-nucleotidase is associated with myelin profiles and that the high activity found in the synaptosomal fraction is probably not associated with nerve ending plasma membranes. 相似文献

p21是一种重要的周期蛋白依赖性激酶抑制因子(cyclin-dependent-kinase inhibitor, CKI),主要通过调控细胞周期维持细胞的生长和增殖。此外, p21还参与调控细胞凋亡、细胞衰老以及细胞运动等过程。近年来越来越多的研究表明, p21的功能具有双重性。当p21定位在细胞核时,其主要通过抑制周期蛋白依赖性激酶(cyclin-dependent kinases, CDKs)的活性介导细胞周期停滞,抑制细胞增殖;当定位在细胞质时, p21能够促进细胞增殖。本文主要对p21的生物学功能、亚细胞定位调控机制及其在肿瘤研究中的最新进展予以综述。 相似文献
