Living yeast cells can be selectively stained with the lipophilic cationic cyanine dye DiOC6(3) in a mitochondrial membrane potential-dependent manner. Our study extends the use of flow cytometric analysis and sorting to DiOC6(3)-stained yeast cells. Experimental conditions were developed that prevented the toxic side effect of the probe and gave a quantitative correlation between fluorescence and mitochondrial membrane potential, without any staining of other membranes. The localization of the fluorochrome was checked by confocal microscopy and image cytometry. The mitochondrial membrane alterations were also tested through cardiolipin staining with nonyl acridine orange. Differences in light scattering and in fluorescence were detected in mutants (rho-, rho degrees, mit-, or pet-) and wild-type (rho+mit+) populations of yeast. The dye uptake of respiratory-deficient yeast strains was significantly reduced as compared to that of the wild-type. Application of an uncoupler (mCICCP), which collapsed the mitochondrial membrane potential (alphapsi(m)), led to a drastic reduction of the dye uptake. It was observed that a decrease in deltapsi(m), was usually correlated with a decrease in cardiolipin stainability by nonyl acridine orange (NAO). Quantitative flow cytometry is a fast and reproducible technique for rapid screening of yeast strains that might be suspected of respiratory dysfunction and/or mitochondrial structural changes. We give evidence that it is an adequate method to characterize and isolate respiratory mutants through sorting procedure, with selective enrichment of the population studied in respiring or non-respiring yeast cells. Confocal microscopy and image cytometry corroborate the flow cytometry results. 相似文献

Two-hybrid screening of a tobacco BY-2 cell suspension cDNA library using the p43(Ntf6) mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase as bait resulted in the isolation of a cDNA encoding a protein with features characteristic of a MAP kinase kinase (MEK), which has been called NtMEK1. Two-hybrid interaction analysis and pull-down experiments showed a physical interaction between NtMEK1 and the tobacco MAP kinases p43(Ntf6) and p45(Ntf4), but not p43(Ntf3). In kinase assays NtMEK1 preferentially phosphorylated p43(Ntf6). Functional studies in yeast showed that p43(Ntf6) could complement the yeast MAP kinase mutant mpk1 when co-expressed with NtMEK1, and that this complementation depended on the kinase activity of p43(Ntf6). Expression analysis showed that the NtMEK1 and ntf6 genes are co-expressed both in plant tissues and following the induction of cell division in leaf pieces. These data suggest that NtMEK1 is an MEK for the p43(Ntf6) MAP kinase. 相似文献

Synchrony provides a large number of cells at defined points of the cell cycle. Highly synchronised cells are powerful and effective tools for molecular analyses and for studying the biochemical events of the cell cycle in plants. Usually, plant cell suspensions can be synchronised by chemical agents, which arrest the cell cycle by acting on the driving forces of the cell cycle engine such as cyclin-dependent kinase activity, enzymes involved in DNA synthesis or proteolysis of cell cycle regulators or by acting on the cell cycle apparatus (mitotic spindle). The specificity, reversibility and efficiency of each type of cell cycle inhibitor are described and related to their mode of action. 相似文献

Arabidopsis thaliana SNF1‐related‐kinase 1 (SnRK1)‐activating kinase 1 (AtSnAK1) and AtSnAK2 have been shown to phosphorylate in vitro and activate the energy signalling integrator, SnRK1. To clarify this signalling cascade in planta, a genetic‐ and molecular‐based approach was developed. Homozygous single AtSnAK1 and AtSnAK2 T‐DNA insertional mutants did not display an apparent phenotype. Crossing of the single mutants did not allow the isolation of double‐mutant plants, whereas self‐pollinating the S1?/? S2+/? sesquimutant specifically gave approximatively 22% individuals in their offspring that, when rescued on sugar‐supplemented media in vitro, were shown to be AtSnAK1 AtSnAK2 double mutants. Interestingly, this was not obtained in the case of the other sesquimutant, S1+/? S2?/?. Although reduced in size, the double mutant had the capacity to produce flowers, but not seeds. Immunological characterization established the T‐loop of the SnRK1 catalytic subunit to be non‐phosphorylated in the absence of both SnAKs. When the double mutant was complemented with a DNA construct containing an AtSnAK2 open reading frame driven by its own promoter, a normal phenotype was restored. Therefore, wild‐type plant growth and development is dependent on the presence of SnAK in vivo, and this is correlated with SnRK1 phosphorylation. These data show that both SnAKs are kinases phosphorylating SnRK1, and thereby they contribute to energy signalling in planta. 相似文献
