Summary The sites alongUromyces appendiculatus germ tubes that are responsive to topographical induction for appressorium formation were determined using glass micropipettes. The germ tubes were perturbed with the micropipettes at different sites and durations. The most responsive region of the germ tubes for appressorium formation was within 0–10 m from the cell apex where >90% of the perturbed germ tubes developed appressoria. Furthermore, only the cell surface in contact with the substratum was responsive. Appressoria could not be induced to form, under any conditions, by perturbing cell-substratum regions of the germ tubes more than 40 m from the apex. Maximum appressorium formation occurred when the perturbing micropipette was left in place for >20 min. 相似文献

Summary
Calluna vulgaris possesses small roots called hair roots, which in natural conditions are colonized by symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. A specialized cell surface-consisting of the cell wall and the overlaying mucilage-has been hypothesized to be important for the establishment of ericoid mycorrhizae. In this work the cell surface of hair roots of plants growing in sterile conditions has been characterized by using in situ techniques, integrated when possible, by biochemical analysis. The mucilage is abundant around the apex, while it becomes thinner and thinner on the differentiated parts. Sugar residues such as mannose, glucose and galactose are regularly distributed along the whole root length, while N-acetylglucosamine residues are limited to the differentiated part of the hair root. Cellobiohydrolase-gold complex, used to reveal -1, 4-glucans, regularly labels mucilage and cell walls of apical and differentiated regions. Polygalacturonic acids revealed by monoclonal antibodies are found at the surface of the cap cells and on the cell walls of the inner tissues in the differentiated zones, but never at the surface of the epidermal cells.The labeling continuity between mucilage and cell walls demonstrates that some molecules such as -1, 4-glucans are common to the two compartments, but probably have a different status of aggregation. On the contrary, other molecules, such as N-acetylglucosamine or polygalacturonic acid display a precise pattern of localization following root differentiation.Abbreviations FITC

In the cotyledons of mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings irradiated from the time of sowing with continuous red light, the photoreversibility of the phytochrome-mediated increase in -amylase activity (EC 3.2.1.2) is lost 36 h after sowing (coupling point). However, the induced increase of -amylase activity cannot be detected before 46 h after sowing (starting point). Density labeling with deuterium oxide shows that the increase of enzyme activity in light and darkness coincides precisely with the synthesis of -amylase protein. Thus, phytochrome mediates an increase of -amylase synthesis de novo. Since there is no turnover detectable by density labeling, it is concluded that -amylase of mustard cotyledons is a physiologically stable enzyme (half-life >5 d). The 10-h time gap between loss of photoreversibility and onset of light-induced -amylase synthesis points to a relatively stable regulatory element within the signal chain (transmitter) which links -amylase synthesis to the primary action of phytochrome. A 12-h lag between the cessation of phytochrome action and the cessation of induced -amylase synthesis indicates a limited lifetime of the transmitter (about 12 h). The effect of this result on the interpretation of the coupling point is discussed.Abbreviations Pr, Pfr

Summary Uredospores ofUromyces viciae-fabae differentiate to form germ tubes, appressoria, infection hyphae and haustorial mother cells on oil-containing collodion membranes. The cell walls of these infection structures were studied with the electron microscope and with FITC-labeled lectins before and after treatment with enzymes and inorganic solvents. Binding of the FITC-labeled lectins was measured with a microscope photometer. The enzymes pronase E, laminarinase, chitinase and lipase had different effects on each infection structure. Pronase treatment uncovered the chitin of germ tubes, appressoria and haustorial mother cells, but not of substomatal vesicles and infection hyphae. A mixture of - and -1,3-glucanase which also contained chitinase activity dissolved germ tubes and appressoria completely, but not infection pegs, substomatal vesicles, infection hyphae and haustorial mother cells. After treatment with laminarinase or lipase, an additional layer, which is especially obvious over the substomatal vesicle, infection hypha and haustorial mother cell, bound to LCA-FITC. In the wall of the haustorial mother cell, a ring, which surrounds the presumed infection peg, had strong affinity for WGA after protease and sodium hydroxide treatment. The infection structures have a fibrillar skeleton. The main constituent seems to be chitin. This skeleton is more dense or has a higher chitin content in the walls of appressoria and haustorial mother cells. The fibrils of the skeleton extend throughout the cell wall of the germ tube and appressorium. They are embedded within amorphous material of complex chemical composition (-1,3-glucan, -1,3-glucan, glycoprotein). The chitin of the infection peg, substomatal vesicle, infection hypha and haustorial mother cell is covered completely with this amorphous material. These results show, that each infection structure has distinct surface and wall characteristics. They may reflect the different tasks of the infection structures during host recognition and leaf penetration.Abbreviations AP

Summary Germlings of the plant pathogenic fungusUromyces appendiculatus sense and respond to topographical signals of various substrata by undergoing a cell differentiation process that culminates in a structure termed an appressorium. In some cell systems, recognition and mediation of extracellular signals is via transmembrane glycoproteins known as integrins that often exhibit specific affinities to the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) found in several extracellular matrix components. Germlings grown on substrata inductive for appressorium formation in the presence of buffered synthetic peptides containing the amino acid sequence RGD, e.g., RGD, RGDS, GRGD, and GRGDGSPK (0.5–2.0 mM), were inhibited from developing appressoria. Two non-RGD peptides (GGGG and RGES) as well as two RGD peptides (GRGDS and RGDSPASSKP) did not inhibit appressorium formation. Germling growth was not significantly affected by any of the peptides. Furthermore, 0.5 m diameter micropipettes that are normally inductive for appressorium formation when positioned between the germling apex and the substratum did not induce appressorium formation when coated with the RGD peptide. Silanized micropipettes left uncoated or coated with RGES were inductive for appressorium formation. Those observations lead to the hypothesis that an integrin-like protein may be involved in the process of signaling for initiation of appressorium formation inUromyces. An RGDSPC-affinity column was used to isolate proteins fromUromyces germlings with affinity to the RGD sequence. Elution with RGD or EDTA, but not with RGES, yielded at least 12 proteins of which one protein (95 kDa) expressed affinity on immunoblots to two different antibodies of 1-integrin; one to the carboxyl-terminus of a synthetic peptide of integrin from chicken, and the other from the amino terminus of integrin from human placenta.Abbreviations ECM

Lectins of Triticum vulgaris (WGA), Concanavalia ensiformis (ConA), Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA), Lotus tetragonolobus (LTA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Ricinus communis (RCA I), Griffonia simplicifolia (GSA II) and the enzymes endo-(13)--D-glucanase, exo-(13)--D-glucanase and laminarinase were tested for binding to the infection structures of Puccinia coronata and Uromyces appendiculatus. The enzymes and lectins were labeled with fluorescein and the fluorescence was measured with a microscope photometer. GSA II and ConA bound to all parts of the two rust fungi to a certain extent. The germ tubes of P. coronata bound at least two times more WGA than did the germ tubes of U. appendiculatus. The appressoria of both rust fungi additionally bound exo-(13)--glucanase, endo-(13)--glucanase and laminarinase. The substomatal vesicle and the infection hypha of both rust fungi mainly bound the glucanases. Furthermore, the substomatal vesicle of U. appendiculatus bound PHA. No obvious binding with LTA, RCA I and PNA was observed. Binding generally could be inhibited by appropriate haptens. Binding to uredospores generally appeared unspecific. The results indicate that the germ tubes have chitin on their outer surfaces, the appressoria chitin and glucans and the substomatal vesicles and infection hyphae mainly glucans. Compared to P. coronata, U. appendiculatus has more terminal linked glucose residues or the glucan has more (13)--linkages. Also, U. appendiculatus has N-acetylgalactosamine or a similar sugar on the surface of the substomatal vesicle.Abbreviations ConA

Summary The fungusZoophthora radicans (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) requires external Ca2+ for appressorium formation but not for conidial germination. The number of appressoria formed depends on the Ca2+ concentration of the medium. At low [Ca2+] (100 pM) nuclear division and germ tube growth are significantly reduced compared to higher Ca2+ concentrations (10 and 1,000 M). By contrast, neither external K+ nor external Cl– is needed for germination or appressorium formation. Treatment of conidia with a Ca2+-antagonist, Nd3+, and a Ca2+-channel blocker, nifedipine, inhibits appressorium formation, showing that a Ca2+ influx is required for appressorium formation. Furthermore, the partial yet saturating inhibition by nifedipine and complete inhibition by Nd3+ indicates that at least two kinds of Ca2+ channels are involved in appressorium formation. A contribution of intracellular Ca2+ to the signal transduction chain for the formation of appressoria is demonstrated by the inhibitory effect of the intracellular Ca2+ antagonist TMB-8. The calmodulin antagonists R24571, TFP, W-7, and W-5 inhibit appressorium formation at concentrations which have no effect on germination. The data presented in this paper are consistent with the hypothesis that a Ca2+/calmodulin system is involved in regulating appressorium formation. However, since the direct effects of the drugs were not specifically tested on their proposed binding sites, we leave room for alternative hypotheses that have yet to be formulated.Abbreviations A-9-C

Summary Since plant lectins were used to help define differences between normal and transformed cell surfaces (reviewed in References1–4), they have been employed in many other situations where their sugar-recognition specificities could be used to advantage. One of these applications has been the purification and characterization of enzymes and other proteins; this work is reviewed here in order to define some of the variables that affect binding of glycoproteins to lectins, as well as to demonstrate how this technique has been profitably exploited for isolation of purified glycoproteins, and for their better understanding.Abbreviations ConA

Wax deposits on leaf surfaces ofin vitro-grown plantlets,in vitro plantlets treated with polyethylene glycol and greenhouse-grown seedlings from five cultivars of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) were extracted and quantified. Significant variations among treatments and cultivars were obtained. Greenhouse-grown plants had the greatest wax deposits followed by the acclimatized plantlets.In vitro plantlets had an average of 15% of the wax of greenhouse plants. Cultivar and plant age differences had a significant effect on the quantity of wax deposits. Greenhouse seedlings of Majhool, Deglet Noor and Khadraoui (cultivars grown under irrigation) had less wax accumulation than Zahidi and Sayer, dryland cultivars.The increase in wax deposition as a result of polyethylene glycol treatment, explains in part, the decreased water loss observed in acclimatized plantlets when transferredex vitro.

Summary
Geosiphon pyriforme represents a photoautotrophic endosymbiosis of aGlomus-like fungus with the cyanobacteriumNostoc punctiforme. The fungus forms unicellular bladders of up to 2 mm in length and 0.5 mm in diameter growing on the soil surface and harboring the endosymbioticNostoc filaments. The cyanobacteria are located in a compartment (the symbiosome) bordered by a host membrane. The space between this symbiosome membrane (SM) and theNostoc cell wall is filled with an about 30–40 nm thick layer of amorphous material, which is present also in the regions of the symbiosome where noNostoc filaments are located. At these sites the amorphous material consists of a 20–30 nm thick layer separating the SM. The region between the SM and the cyanobacterium is defined as symbiosome space (SS). Fungal bladders, hyphae and free livingNostoc were analyzed by affinity techniques as well as the material occurring in the SS. FITC-coupled lectins with sugar specificity to -D-mannosyl/-D-glucosyl (Con A), N-acetyl--D-glucosamine oligomers (WGA), -L-fucosyl (UEA-I), -D-galactosyl (RCA-120), -D-galactosyl (BS-I-B4), N-acetyl--D-galactosamine (HPA), and sialic acid (EBL) residues were tested. WGA binding and calcofluor white staining demonstrated that the bladder wall as well as the SS contain fibrillar chitin. Of the other lectins only Con A clearly labeled the symbiosome. On the contrary, the lectin binding properties of the slime produced by free livingNostoc-colonies indicate the presence of mannose, fucose, GalNAc, sialic acid, and galactose, while chitin or GlucNAc-oligomers could not be detected. The symbiosome was also investigated electron microscopically. WGA-gold binding confirmed the presence of chitin, while a slight PATAg reaction indicated some polysaccharidic molecules within the SS. Our results show that the amorphous material within the SS contains molecules typical of the fungal cell wall and suggest that the SM is related to the fungal plasma membrane. The applied lectins all bind to the hyphal surface, indicating a high molecular complexity. Mannosyl, -galactosyl, and sialic acid residues are strongly exposed at the outer cell wall layer, whereas GlucNAc, GalNAc, and -galactosyl residues seem to be present in smaller amounts. The symbiotic interface established between the fungus andNostoc inGeosiphon shows many similarities to that occurring between fungi and root cells in arbuscular mycorrhizas.Abbreviations AM

The amino acid and sugar composition of the enzyme protein, the effect of urea, sodium dodecyl sulphate and Concanavalin A on the purified -galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) from the moldCephalosporium acremonium has been studied. The results obtained by gas liquid chromatography indicated the presence ofN-acetylglucosamine, mannose, galactose andN-acetylneuramic acid in the molar proportions 27311. The presence of two types of Asn-linked oligosaccharide structures in the enzyme molecule is assumed. The -galactosidase liberates (1–3), (1–4) and (1–6)-linkedd-galactose units from various synthetic and natural substrates which have been tested. The effects of pH, substrate concentration and temperature on the catalytic activity of the enzyme are described. The purified -galactosidase also exhibited a lectin activity with an affinity towards glucose, and to some extent mannose.Abbreviations p-NPG

The structural requirements for the interaction of asparagine-linked oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins withErythrina variegata agglutinin (EVA) were investigated by means of affinity chromatography on an EVA-Sepharose column. Some of the branched poly-N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides obtained from human erythrocyte band 3 glycoprotein were found to show high affinity to EVA-Sepharose, whereas complex-type oligosaccharides were shown to have low affinity. Hybrid type, oligomannose-type and unbranched poly-N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides bound very little or not at all to EVA-Sepharose. To further study the carbohydrate-binding specificity of this lectin, we investigated the interaction of immobilized EVA and oligosaccharide fragments obtained through partial hydrolysis from branched poly-N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides. Branched poly-N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides were subjected to limited hydrolysis with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid at 100°C for 40 min and then separated on an amino-bonded silica column. One of pentasaccharides thus prepared strongly bound to the EVA-Sepharose column. Structural analysis of this pentasaccharide showed that the Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3(Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6)Gal sugar sequence, which is an l-antigen determinant, was essential for the high affinity binding of the oligosaccharides to the EVA-Sepharose column.Abbreviations EVA

The lectin affinities of -N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.52) from an acute lymphoblastic leukaemic cell-line (CCRF/CEM), a non-malignant lymphoblastic cell-line (SM1) and normal human fibroblasts were studied for both mature and precursor forms of the enzyme. Four immobilised lectins concanavalin A-Sepharose wheat germ agglutinin-Agarose,Ricinus communis agglutinin I-Agarose,Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin-Agarose and a column of serotonin-Sepharose were used. The activities of -hexosaminidase from fibroblasts and SM1 cells generally behaved similarly while the CCRF/CEM enzyme exhibited different binding patterns. Differences were also noted between precursor and mature enzyme from each cell type consistent with changes in glycosylation between the precursor form and the mature form appearing in the lysosome. These results suggest that changes in the glycosylation of -hexosaminidase, and possibly other lysosomal enzymes, may be associated with malignancy.Abbreviations Con A

Protein kinase CK2 is ubiquitous in eukaryotes and is known to phosphorylate many protein substrates. The enzyme is normally a heterotetramer composed of catalytic ( and ) and regulatory () subunits. The physiological regulation of the enzyme is still unknown but one of the factors that may play an important role in this regulation is the ratio of the catalytic and regulatory subunits present in cells. The possible existence of free CK2 subunits, not forming part of the holoenzyme, may be relevant to the physiological function of the enzyme in substrate selection or in the interaction of the subunits with other partners. The objective of this work was to study in COS-7 cells the effects of transient expression of CK2 subunits and mutants of the catalytic subunit on the CK2 phosphorylating activity of the extracts of these cells. Using pCEFL vectors that introduce hemaggutinin (HA) or a heptapeptide (AU5) tags in the expressed proteins, COS-7 cells were transfected with and subunits of Xenopus CK2, with the subunit of D. rerio, and with Xl CK2A156, which although inactive can bind tightly to CK2, and with Xl CK2E75E76, which is resistant to heparin and polyanion inhibition. The efficiency of transient transfection was of 10–20% of treated cells.Expression of CK2 or CK2E75E76 in COS-7 cells caused an increase of 5–7-fold of the CK2 activity in the soluble cell extracts. If these catalytic subunits were cotransfected with CK2, the activity increased further to 15–20-fold of the controls. Transfection of CK2 alone also increase the activity of the extracts about 2-fold. Transfection with the inactive CK2A156 yielded extracts with CK2 activities not significantly different from those transfected with the empty vectors. However, cotransfection of CK2 or CK2E75E76 with CK2A156 caused a 60–70% decrease in the CK2 activity as compared to those of cells transfected with only the active CK2 subunits. These results can be interpreted as meaning that CK2A156 is a dominant negative mutant that can compete with the other catalytic subunits for the CK2 subunit. Addition of recombinant CK2 to the assay system of extracts of cells transfected with catalytic subunits causes a very significant increase in their CK2 activity, demonstrating that CK2 subunit is limiting in the extracts and that an excess of free CK2 has been produced in the transfected cells. Transfection of cells with CK2E75E76 results in a CK2 activity of extracts that is 90% resistant to heparin demonstrating that a very large proportion of the CK2 activity is derived from the expression of the exogenous mutant. In both the in vivo and in vitro systems, the sensitivity of CK2E75E76 to heparin increases considerably when it forms part of the holoenzyme CK222. 相似文献

Four bi-antennary glycan fractions of theN-acetyllactosamine-type, derived from a Lewis lung carcinoma (LL2) cell subline resistant to theAleuria aurantia agglutinin were studied by 400 MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy. By this method, their antennae were found to be terminated either by (2-3 or 6)-linkedN-acetylneuraminic acid or (1-3)-linked galactose residues. The primary structure of glycans of these four glycopeptide or derived oligosaccharide-alditols has been determined in full detail.Abbreviations NAc

Relative affinities of several fucosylated and nonfucosylated oligo-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans for immobilized wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) were studied using a chromatographic technique. (1-3) Fucosylation of theN-acetylglucosamine unit(s) in mono- and biantennary saccharides of the Gal1-4GlcNAc-R type strongly reduced the WGA-affinity. In contrast, (1-2) fucosylation of the nonreducing galactose unit(s) of the saccharides did not reduce the affinity. 相似文献

A novel linear tetrasaccharide, Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, was isolated from partial acid hydrolysates of metabolically labeled poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans of murine teratocarcinoma cells. It was characterized by exo-glycosidase sequencing and by mild acid hydrolysis followed by identification of all partial cleavage products. The tetrasaccharide, and likewise labelled GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc, resisted the action of endo--galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.103) fromE. freundii at a concentration of 125 mU/ml, while the isomeric, radioactive teratocarcinoma saccharides Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc and GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc were cleaved in the expected manner.Abbreviations WGA

Summary The epidermal tissues of marine mussels can accumulate amino acids from surrounding sea water. In the present study, gill tissue isolated from the California coastal mussel,Mytilus californianus, was used in conjunction with intact, actively pumping mussels to study epidermal transport processes. There appeared to be at least four pathways for this uptake: i) a -neutral pathway which transports taurine; ii) an -acidic pathway specific for substrates such as aspartate; iii) an -neutral pathway having a general specificity for this class of compound, but which also accepts the basic amino acid, lysine; and iv) a second -neutral pathway, also of broad specificity, capable of accepting the imino acid, proline, as a substrate. Replacement of Na in sea water with choline reduced uptake of leucine, taurine, aspartate, and proline by more than 95%, and reduced lysine uptake by 75%, suggesting that Na-independent pathways play no significant role in epidermal transport in the gill. Isolated gill tissue was used to estimate the maximum transport capacities (J
max's) of the pathways, which ranged from approximately 5 to 25 mol/(g·hr). Apparent Michaelis constants (K
t
*'s) of the epidermal transporters were estimated using a convection-diffusion model introduced previously (Wright and Secomb, Am J Physiol 247:R346–R355, 1984). TheseK
t
*'s ranged from 1 to 5 M. The characteristics of the epidermal transporters are such that they can play a significant role in both animal nutrition and in the reacumulation of endogenous amino acids lost from surface cells through passive diffusion.Abbreviation ASW

Summary The ultrastructure and composition of the extracellular matrices (ECMs) associated with germ tubes and appressoria ofColletotrichum lindemuthianum have been examined. Flexuous fibres (fimbriae), up to 6 m long and 4–30 nm in diameter, protruded from the surface of germ tubes and appressoria. Anionic colloidal gold and lectin cytochemistry showed that ECMs of germ tubes and appressoria contain basic proteins, -D-mannose and -D-galactose residues. A monoclonal antibody, UB26, was raised to infection structures isolated from leaves ofPhaseolus vulgaris infected withC. lindemuthianum. UB26 recognised a protein epitope on two glycoproteins (Mr 133,000 and 146,000). Reductions in the Mr of these proteins after treatment with peptide-N-glycosidase and trifluoromethane sulphonic acid suggest that they carry N- and O-linked side-chains. Immunofluorescence and EM-immunogold labelling showed that glycoproteins recognised by UB26 were restricted to the ECMs around germ tubes and appressoria but fimbriae were not labelled. Unlike appressorial germ tubes formed in vitro, intracellular infection hyphae were not labelled, suggesting that the glycoproteins recognised by UB26 are not present on fungal structures formed within host cells. In liquid culture, these glycoproteins were not released into the medium, suggesting they are physically linked to the cell wall. Also, the glycoproteins were not removed from glass surfaces by ultrasonication. These results suggest that glycoproteins recognised by UB26 may be involved in the adhesion of germ tubes and appressoria to substrata. Our results show that the ECMs of germ tubes and appressoria differ markedly in structure and composition from those of conidia and intracellular hyphae, and that extracellular glycoproteins are associated with specific regions of the fungal cell surface.Abbreviations ECM

Sex-specific agglutinins from the cell surface of haploid cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (X2180, mta and mt) were purified and analysed. The constitutive agglutinin from mta cells was extractable with 3 mM dithiothreitol. It was shown to be a glycoprotein (3% mannose) with an apparent Mr of 43,000 based on gel filtration, but in SDS-PAGE it behaved as a much smaller molecule (Mr between 18,000 and 26,000). About one in three amino acids was a hydroxyamino acid. Its biological activity was resistant to boiling for 1 h, but sensitive to pronase. Intact mt cells retained their agglutinability in the presence of dithiothreitol but limited trypsinizing released a biologically active agglutinin fragment. It had an apparent Mr of 320,000 (gel filtration). When analysed by SDS-PAGE, a single diffuse band with an apparent Mr of 225,000 was observed. The protein was 94% (w/w) mannose with a trace of N-acetyl glucosamine. Its biological activity was almost completely lost after boiling for 1 h. Both agglutinins behaved as monovalent molecules and specifically inhibited the biological activity of both noninduced and pheromone-induced cells. Pheromone treatment of mta cells resulted in an apparent 32-fold increase in agglutinin activity at the cell surface, whereas pheromone treatment of mt cells only doubled the apparent agglutinin activity.Abbreviations mt
