Membrane effects of the redox and pH indicator neutral red were studied with the chlorococcal alga Eremosphaera viridis, with Lemna gibba, and with “isolated” guard cells in epidermal peels of Valerianella locusta. Neutral red was extracellularly reduced and caused transmembrane current-voltage changes, an increase in membrane conductance by about 14 nS, an apparent K+ net efflux of up to 120 μmol g?1 FW in 5 min, and an intracellular acidification by up to 0.7 pH units. Neutral red-triggered K+ net efflux was most pronounced at low pH, at an Eo more positive than ?200 mV, and without extracellular Ca2+. From the experimental data it is concluded that, due to the redox function of the phenazine molecule, extracellular neutral red triggers a trans-plasmalemma e? transfer, leading to strong membrane depolarization and charge compensating K+ net efflux, in addition to some unspecific ion release. As a consequence the intracellular concentration of strong cations relative to strong anions (SID) decreases, resulting in intracellular acidification. 相似文献

The three most commonly used electron donors for flow dialysis measurements of membrane potential lead to the development of an apparent but artifactual membrane potential with the interior negative in the presence or absence of membrane vesicles. The same three electron donors used in flow dialysis determinations of delta pH in the presence or absence of membrane vesicles lead to the development of an apparent but artifactual delta pH with the interior acidic. These artifacts have been evaluated using two probes for membrane potential, namely, TPP+ and rubidium in the presence of valinomycin and for two probes of delta pH, namely, acetate and DMO. Measurements were made over a range of ionic strengths. 相似文献

The distribution of salicylic acid between the intracellular and extracellular phases has been used to estimate the intracellular pH in the Ehrlich cell and Escherichia coli. The validity of the method was established by: (i) comparison of the results obtained with salicylic acid with those obtained with 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione; (ii) by following changes of the apparent intracellular pH under circumstances in which such changes are predictable, e.g., the addition of weak acids or proton conductors to the incubation medium during incubation at acidic pH; (iii) by comparison of the apparent intracellular pH changes with the uptake of H+ by the cells estimated from the changes of the medium pH. Optimal results are obtained with this indicator when the extracellular pH is below 5.5, because in this case the indicator is to a sufficient extent in its penetrating form, so that its movement can reflect intracellular pH changes occurring in less than 30 s. When the intracellular pH falls below 5.2 measurable binding of salicylic acid to the intracellular material of the Ehrlich cell takes place, but above this pH no binding has been found.The Ehrlich cell and cells of Escherichia coli behaved similarly under various experimental circumstances tested, but striking differences were found in the inherent permeability of the membrane to H+ and in the changes in this parameter by lowering the temperature to 2°C. 相似文献

1. Low concentrations of the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) induced net K+ uptake by Chlorella fusca, optimal concentrations being 3 μM CCCP in the light and 1 μM CCCP in the dark. Higher concentrations increasingly stimulated K+ release. 2. Measurements of the unidirectional K+ fluxes showed that CCCP-induced net K+ uptake in the light was mainly a consequence of an inhibition of efflux. In the dark, influx was slightly stimulated in addition. 3. In conditions of CCCP-induced net K+ uptake, the ATP level was decreased by less than 10%. With higher CCCP concentrations it fell drastically. 4. By means of the 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione distribution technique, an acidification of the cell interior on the addition of CCCP was found. 5. It is concluded that uncoupler-induced net K+ uptake is due to an enhanced proton leakage into the cell across the plasmalemma. Intracellular acidification by this process stimulates ATP-dependent K+/H+ exchange which, in itself, is not affected at low uncoupler concentrations. 相似文献

The paper analyzes the factors affecting the H+-K+ exchange catalyzed by rat liver mitochondria depleted of endogenous Mg2+ by treatment with the ionophore A23187. The exchange has been monitored as the rate of K+ efflux following addition of A23187 in low-K+ media. (1) The H+-K+ exchange is abolished by uncouplers and respiratory inhibitors. The inhibition is not related to the depression of ΔpH, whereas a dependence is found on the magnitude of the transmembrane electrical potential, Δψ. Maximal rate of K+ efflux is observed at 180–190 mV, whereas K+ efflux is inhibited below 140–150 mV. (2) Activation of H+-K+ exchange leads to depression of ΔpH but not of Δψ. Respiration is only slightly stimulated by the onset of H+-K+ exchange in the absence of valinomycin. These findings indicate that the exchange is electroneutral, and that the Δψ control presumably involves conformational changes of the carrier. (3) Incubation in hypotonic media at pH 7.4 or in isotonic media at alkaline pH results in a marked activation of the rate of H+-K+ exchange, while leaving unaffected the level of Mg2+ depletion. This type of activation results in partial ‘uncoupling’ from the Δψ control, suggesting that membrane stretching and alkaline pH induce conformational changes on the exchange carrier equivalent to those induced by high Δψ. (4) The available evidence suggests that the activity of the H+-K+ exchanger is modulated by the electrical field across the inner mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

Dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) O-demethylase (DMO) is the terminal Rieske oxygenase of a three-component system that includes a ferredoxin and a reductase. It catalyzes the NADH-dependent oxidative demethylation of the broad leaf herbicide dicamba. DMO represents the first crystal structure of a Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase that performs an exocyclic monooxygenation, incorporating O2 into a side-chain moiety and not a ring system. The structure reveals a 3-fold symmetric trimer (α3) in the crystallographic asymmetric unit with similar arrangement of neighboring inter-subunit Rieske domain and non-heme iron site enabling electron transport consistent with other structurally characterized Rieske oxygenases. While the Rieske domain is similar, differences are observed in the catalytic domain, which is smaller in sequence length than those described previously, yet possessing an active-site cavity of larger volume when compared to oxygenases with larger substrates. Consistent with the amphipathic substrate, the active site is designed to interact with both the carboxylate and aromatic ring with both key polar and hydrophobic interactions observed. DMO structures were solved with and without substrate (dicamba), product (3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid), and either cobalt or iron in the non-heme iron site. The substitution of cobalt for iron revealed an uncommon mode of non-heme iron binding trapped by the non-catalytic Co2+, which, we postulate, may be transiently present in the native enzyme during the catalytic cycle. Thus, we present four DMO structures with resolutions ranging from 1.95 to 2.2 Å, which, in sum, provide a snapshot of a dynamic enzyme where metal binding and substrate binding are coupled to observed structural changes in the non-heme iron and catalytic sites. 相似文献
