The effects of Cd on poly(γ-glutamylcysteinyl)glycine [(γEC)nG] biosynthesis and formation of (γEC)nG:Cd complexes were measured in two cell lines of Datura innoxia with differing Cd tolerance. In addition, RNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and GSH concentrations were measured during a 48 hour exposure to Cd. Exposure to 250 micromolar CdCl2 was toxic to the sensitive line, whereas the tolerant line survived and grew in its presence. Cd-sensitive cells synthesized the same amount of (γEC)nG as tolerant cells during an initial 24 hour exposure to 250 micromolar CdCl2. However, rates of (γEC)nG:Cd complex formation differed between the two cell lines with the sensitive cells forming complexes later than tolerant cells. In addition, the complexes formed by sensitive cells were of lower molecular weight than those of tolerant cells and did not bind all of the cellular Cd. Pulse-labeling of cells with l-[35S]cysteine resulted in equivalent rates of incorporation into the (γEC)nG of both cell lines during the initial 24 hours after Cd. Rates of protein and RNA synthesis were similar for both cell lines during the initial 8 hours after Cd but thereafter declined rapidly in sensitive cells. This was reflected by a decline in viability of sensitive cells. The GSH content of both cell lines declined rapidly upon exposure to Cd but was higher in sensitive cells throughout the experiment. These results show that the biosynthetic pathway for (γEC)nG synthesis in sensitive cells is operational and that relative overproduction of (γEC)nG is not the mechanism of Cd-tolerance in a Cd-tolerant cell line of D. innoxia. Rapid formation of (γEC)nG:Cd complexes that bind all of the cellular Cd within 24 hours appears to correlate with tolerance in these cells. 相似文献

Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L. cv Seaton Park) was grown in solution cultures containing adequate nitrogen both with and without Cu. After Cu deficiency had developed, Cu2+ was added to some deficient plants and Cu content, protein content, and activities of three Cu metalloenzymes (diamine oxidase [EC1.4.3.6], ascorbate oxidase [EC1.10.3.3] and o-diphenol oxidase [EC1.10.3.1]) were assayed in young and recently matured leaf blades over 11 days during the development of the next three leaves.
Copper deficiency had little effect on protein concentrations, but markedly depressed enzyme activities and Cu concentration in all leaf blades assayed. Within 4 d of adding Cu2+ to Cu-deficient plants, Cu concentrations of all the leaf blades increased to adequate values. Enzyme activities only increased to control levels in leaves which had not yet emerged at the time that Cu2+ was added.
The results suggest that active holoenzymes of diamine oxidase, ascorbate oxidase, and o-diphenol oxidase can only be synthesized in leaf blades during very early stages of their development.

Suspension cultures of Datura innoxia cells were pulse-labeled with [35S]cysteine, then exposed to Cd to determine whether there is a direct precursor-product relationship amongst the different forms of the Cd-induced polypeptides, poly(-glutamylcysteinyl)glycines [(EC)nG, n=2 to 5]. Degradation of the polypeptides and possible regeneration of the [35S]-labeled glutathione and cysteine pools were also examined. After 2 h of exposure to [35S]cysteine, about 70% of the [35S]cysteine in the soluble fraction of the cell was incorporated into [35S]glutathione before exposure of the cells to Cd. One h after Cd exposure, most of the cellular [35S]glutathione was depleted and label was incorporated into (EC)nG. Analysis of [35S](EC)nG by reverse phase HPLC showed no direct precursor-product relationship between the synthesis of the shorter and longer chain forms. However, the rate of synthesis of the different polypeptides was linear for 32 h after Cd exposure. There was no evidence of degradation of [35S](EC)nG nor was it excreted into the medium within this period. From these results it is suggested that in the presence of Cd, a large pool of (EC)nG is unavailable for elongation to (EC)n+1G.Abbreviations (EC)nG

Background and Aims
Aluminium is toxic in acid soils because the soluble Al3+ inhibits root growth. A mechanism of Al3+ tolerance discovered in many plant species involves the release of organic anions from root apices. The Al3+-activated release of citrate from the root apices of Al3+-tolerant genotypes of barley is controlled by a MATE gene named HvAACT1 that encodes a citrate transport protein located on the plasma membrane. The aim of this study was to investigate whether expressing HvAACT1 with a constitutive promoter in barley and wheat can increase citrate efflux and Al3+ tolerance of these important cereal species.Methods HvAACT1
was over-expressed in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) using the maize ubiquitin promoter. Root apices of transgenic and control lines were analysed for HvAACT1 expression and organic acid efflux. The Al3+ tolerance of transgenic and control lines was assessed in both hydroponic solution and acid soil.Key Results and Conclusions
Increased HvAACT1 expression in both cereal species was associated with increased citrate efflux from root apices and enhanced Al3+ tolerance, thus demonstrating that biotechnology can complement traditional breeding practices to increase the Al3+ tolerance of important crop plants. 相似文献5.

The wheat ALMT1 gene encodes an aluminum (Al)-activated malate transport protein which confers Al-resistance. We investigated the membrane topology of this plasma-membrane localized protein with immunocytochemical techniques. Several green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fused and histidine (His)-tagged chimeras of ALMT1 were prepared based on a computer-predicted secondary structure and transiently expressed in cultured mammalian cells. Antibodies raised to polypeptide epitopes of ALMT1 were used in conjunction with the antibody to the His-tags to determine the topology of ALMT1. This study shows that the ALMT1 protein contains six transmembrane domains with the amino and carboxyl termini located on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane.Key Words: ALMT1, aluminum resistance, immunofluorescent staining, malate transporter, topology, Triticum aestivum 相似文献

Aluminum (Al) toxicity and poor phosphorus (P) availability are factors that limit plant growth on many agricultural soils. Previous work reported that expression of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa citrate synthase gene in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum; CSb lines) resulted in improved Al tolerance (J.M. de la Fuente, V. Ramírez-Rodríguez, J.L. Cabrera-Ponce, L. Herrera-Estrella [1997] Science 276: 1566-1568) and an enhanced ability to acquire P from alkaline soils (J. López-Bucio, O. Martínez de la Vega, A. Guevara-García, L. Herrera-Estrella [2000] Nat Biotechnol 18: 450-453). These effects were attributed to the P. aeruginosa citrate synthase increasing the biosynthesis and efflux of citrate from roots. To verify these findings we: (a) characterized citrate efflux from roots of wild-type tobacco; (b) generated tobacco lines expressing the citrate synthase gene from P. aeruginosa; and (c) analyzed selected CSb lines described above. Al stimulated citrate efflux from intact roots of wild-type tobacco and root apices were found to be responsible for most of the efflux. Despite generating transgenic tobacco lines that expressed the citrate synthase protein at up to a 100-fold greater level than the previously described CSb lines, these lines did not show increased accumulation of citrate in roots or increased Al-activated efflux of citrate from roots. Selected CSb lines, similarly, failed to show differences compared with controls in either citrate accumulation or efflux. We conclude that expression of the P. aeruginosa citrate synthase gene in plants is unlikely to be a robust and easily reproducible strategy for enhancing the Al tolerance and P-nutrition of crop and pasture species. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the promoter from the barley (Hordeum vulgare) phosphate transporter gene, HvPht1;1, activates high levels of expression in rice (Oryza sativa) roots and that the expression level was induced by up to 4-fold in response to phosphorus (P) deprivation. To identify promoter regions controlling gene regulation specificities, successive promoter truncations were made and attached to reporter genes. Promoters of between 856 and 1,400 nucleotides activated gene expression in a number of cell types but with maximal expression in trichoblast (root hair) cells. For shorter promoters the trichoblast specificity was lost, but in other tissues the distribution pattern was unchanged. The low P induction response was unaffected by promoter length. Domain exchange experiments subsequently identified that the region between -856 and -547 nucleotides (relative to the translational start) is required for epidermal cell expression. A second region located between 0 and -195 nucleotides controls root-tip expression. The HvPht1;1 promoter contains one PHO-like motif and three motifs similar to the dicot P1BS element. Analysis of promoters from which the PHO-like element was eliminated (by truncation) showed no change in the gene induction response to P deficiency. In contrast, mutation of the P1BS elements eliminated any induction of gene expression in response to low P. An internal HvPht1;1 promoter fragment, incorporating a single P1BS element, had an increased response to P deprivation in comparison with the unmodified promoter (containing three elements). Together these findings further our understanding of the regulation of the HvPht1;1 gene and provide direct evidence for a functional role of the P1BS element in the expression of P-regulated genes. 相似文献

Effect of phosphorus supply on the formation and function of proteoid roots of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) 总被引:11,自引:1,他引:10

We investigated (1) the effect of constant and altered inorganic phosphate (Pi ) supply (1–100 mmol m–3 ) on proteoid root production by white lupin ( Lupinus albus L.); and (2) the variation in citrate efflux, enzyme activity and phosphate uptake along the proteoid root axis in solution culture. Proteoid root formation was greatest at Pi solution concentrations of 1–10 mmol m–3 and was suppressed at 25 mmol m–3 Pi and higher. Except at 1 mmol m–3 Pi , the formation of proteoid roots did not affect plant dry matter yields or shoot to root dry matter ratios, indicating that proteoid roots can form under conditions of adequate P supply and not at the expense of dry matter production. Plants with over 50% of the root system as proteoid roots had tissue P concentrations considered adequate for maximum growth, providing additional evidence that proteoid roots can form on P-sufficient plants. There was an inverse relationship between the Pi concentration in the youngest mature leaf and proteoid root formation. Citrate efflux and the activities of enzymes associated with citric acid synthesis (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and malate dehydrogenase) varied along the proteoid root axis, being greatest in young proteoid rootlets of the 1–3 cm region from the root tip. Citrate release from the 0–1 and 5–9 cm regions of the proteoid root was only 7% (per unit root length) of that from the 1–3 cm segment. Electrical potential and 32 Pi uptake measurements showed that Pi uptake was more uniform along the proteoid root than citrate efflux. 相似文献

Aluminium (Al3+) toxicity restricts productivity and profitability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crops grown on acid soils worldwide. Continued gains will be obtained by identifying superior alleles and novel Al3+ resistance loci that can be incorporated into breeding programs. We used association mapping to identify genomic regions associated with Al3+ resistance using 1055 accessions of common wheat from different geographic regions of the world and 178 polymorphic diversity arrays technology (DArT) markers. Bayesian analyses based on genetic distance matrices classified these accessions into 12 subgroups. Genome-wide association analyses detected markers that were significantly associated with Al3+ resistance on chromosomes 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 2D, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 4D, 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B. Some of these genomic regions correspond to previously identified loci for Al3+ resistance, whereas others appear to be novel. Among the markers targeting TaALMT1 (the major Al3+-resistance gene located on chromosome 4D), those that detected alleles in the promoter explained most of the phenotypic variance for Al3+ resistance, which is consistent with this region controlling the level of TaALMT1 expression. These results demonstrate that genome-wide association mapping cannot only confirm known Al3+-resistance loci, such as those on chromosomes 4D and 4B, but they also highlight the utility of this technique in identifying novel resistance loci. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis AtMTP family of genes encode proteins of the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family, with several members having roles in metal tolerances. Four of the 11 proteins in the family form a distinct cluster on a phylogenetic tree and are closely related to ShMTP8, a CDF identified in the tropical legume Stylosanthes hamata that is implicated in the transport of Mn(2+) into the vacuole as a tolerance mechanism. Of these four genes, AtMTP11 was the most highly expressed member of the Arabidopsis subgroup. When AtMTP11 was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it conferred Mn(2+) tolerance and transported Mn(2+) by a proton-antiport mechanism. A mutant of Arabidopsis with a disrupted AtMTP11 gene (mtp11) was found to have increased sensitivity to Mn(2+) but not to Cu(2+) or Zn(2+). At a non-toxic but sufficient Mn(2+) supply (basal), the mutant accumulated more Mn(2+) than the wild type, but did not show any obvious deleterious effects on growth. When grown with Mn(2+) supplies that ranged from basal to toxic, the mutant accumulated Mn(2+) concentrations in shoots similar to those in wild-type plants, despite showing symptoms of Mn(2+) toxicity. AtMTP11 fused to green fluorescent protein co-localized with a reporter specific for pre-vacuolar compartments. These findings provide evidence for Mn(2+)-specific transport activity by AtMTP11, and implicate the pre-vacuolar compartments in both Mn(2+) tolerance and Mn(2+) homeostasis mechanisms of Arabidopsis. 相似文献
