Summary. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) roots released proteins showing peroxidase activity in the apoplastic solution in response to wound stress. Preincubation
of excised roots with 1 mM salicylic acid at pH 7.0 enhanced the guaiacol peroxidase activity of the extracellular solution
(so-called extracellular peroxidase). The soluble enzymes were partially purified by precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed
by size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography. Despite an increase in the total activity of secreted peroxidase induced
by pretreatment of excised roots with salicylic acid, the specific activity of the partially purified protein was significantly
lower compared to that of the control. Purification of the corresponding proteins by ion exchange chromatography indicates
that several isoforms of peroxidase occurred in both control and salicylic acid-treated samples. The activities of the extracellular
peroxidases secreted by the salicylic acid-treated roots responded differently to calcium and lectins compared with those
from untreated roots. Taken together, our data suggest that salicylic acid changes the isoforms of peroxidase secreted by
wounded wheat roots.

Extracellular peroxidases are classified as free, or ionically or covalently bound to the cell wall. In addition, peroxidase-like activities have often been demonstrated at the outer surface of protoplasts and plasma membrane preparations. Under certain conditions apoplastic peroxidases have been shown to contribute to the formation of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide during the `oxidative burst' through the oxidation of a reductant. However, the identity of this reductant remains unclear. It has been suggested that the production of these active oxygen species may play important roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Extracellular release of pre-existing and de novo synthesis of apoplastic peroxidases is regulated by changing environmental conditions. While the oxidative burst could potentially be harmful to a plant's own cells, tissues can rapidly metabolize even high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Recent work has shown that when extracellular hydrogen peroxide exceeds the supplies of reductants, class II and class III peroxidases can display catalase-like activity. Under these conditions, hydrogen peroxide is able to act as both oxidizing and reducing substrate. It seems likely therefore, that a further role of extracellular peroxidases is to protect plants from the consequences of the oxidative burst that they themselves are responsible for producing. 相似文献

Following our previous findings of high extracellular redox activity in lichens, the results of the work presented here identify the enzymes involved as laccases. Despite numerous data on laccases in fungi and flowering plants, this is the first report of the occurrence of laccases in lichenized ascomycetes. Extracellular laccase activity was measured in 40 species of lichens from different taxonomic groupings and contrasting habitats. Out of 20 species tested from suborder Peltigerineae, 18 displayed laccase activity, while activity was absent in species tested from other lichen groups. Identification of the enzymes as laccases was confirmed by the ability of lichen leachates to readily metabolize substrates such as 2,2′-azino(bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS), syringaldazine and o-tolidine in the absence of hydrogen peroxide, sensitivity of the enzymes to cyanide and azide, the enzymes having typical laccase pH and temperature optima, and an absorption spectrum with a peak at 614 nm. Desiccation and wounding stimulated laccase activity. Laccase activity was not increased after treatment with normal inducers of laccase synthesis, suggesting that they are constitutively expressed. Electrophoresis showed that the active form of laccase from Peltigera malacea was a tetramer with an unusually high molecular mass of 340 kDa and an isoelectric point (pI) of 4.7. The finding of abundant extracellular redox enzymes known to actively produce reactive oxygen species suggest that their roles may include increasing nutrient supply to lichens by delignification, and deterring pathogens by contributing to the oxidative burst. Furthermore, once released into the environment, they may participate in the carbon cycle by facilitating the breakdown or formation of humic substances. 相似文献

The shifts of Ca2+, K+ and proton homeostasis of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. M. cv Ljuba) root cells induced by the Ca2+-ionophore A23187 caused different responses, depending on the time of exposure to the ionophore. Oxygen consumption and heat production by roots were increased when the Ca2+-specific effect of A23187 was expressed. Ultrastructural re-organization of cell organelles was found to follow the ion shifts. The endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and mitochondria rearranged their membranes following treatment. The increased ion permeability of root cell membranes is proposed to cause an excessive energy expenditure for the restoration of ion homeostasis. 相似文献

This work is devoted to the study of mechanisms of substrate regulation of extracellular peroxidase (ECPOX) activity at a distant stress (wounding) signal transmission from aboveground organ (leaf) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Kazanskaya Yubileinaya) seedlings to the roots. Along with the high dianizidine peroxidase activity, the extracellular solution manifested 3,4-dihydrooxi-L-phenylalanine peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and catalase activities. Dianizidine peroxidases were represented by several isoforms and had broad substrate specificity. It was found that ECPOX was released from the roots into the growing solution and its activity in the solution increased with root growth. Excision of the apical leaf parts in seedlings induced a sharp activation of root ECPOX in the growing solution. The interaction between ECPOX substrates at oxidation in two- and three-component systems is demonstrated. The role of ECPOX in the control of ROS balance in the plant cell apoplast might be determined by competitive and complementary interactions between different peroxidase substrates. Such substrate-substrate regulation of peroxidase activities may be important for stress-induced oxidative burst in plant cells. 相似文献

It was demonstrated the efficiency of the application of extracellular solution, i.e., the leachate derived from roots after their incubation, for the analysis of apoplastic redox enzymes (exemplified by peroxidase) in the roots of 5-day-old seedlings of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Kazanskaya yubileinaya) after wounding stress. Such non-invasive approach allows the studying of enzymes without a disruption of plant tissue. The inhibitory analysis showed that newly synthesized and pre-existing in the cells peroxidases were not released from the cytoplasm at stress conditions. The proposed methodological approach for obtaining the enzymatic extracts of apoplastic redox enzymes opens up broad prospects for researches of plant immunity and stress responses. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Following previous findings of high extracellular redox activity in lichens and the presence of laccases in lichen cell walls, the work presented here additionally demonstrates the presence of tyrosinases. Tests were made for the presence of tyrosinases in 40 species of lichens, and from selected species their cellular location and molecular weights were determined. The effects of stress and inhibitors on enzyme activity were also studied. METHODS: Tyrosinase and laccase activities were assayed spectrophotometrically using a variety of substrates. The molecular mass of the enzymes was estimated using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. KEY RESULTS: Extracellular tyrosinase and laccase activity was measured in 40 species of lichens from different taxonomic groupings and contrasting habitats. Out of 20 species tested from the sub-order Peltigerineae, all displayed significant tyrosinase and laccase activity, while activity was low or absent in other species tested. Representatives from both groups of lichens displayed low peroxidase activities. Identification of the enzymes as tyrosinases was confirmed by the ability of lichen thalli or leachates derived by shaking lichens in distilled water to metabolize substrates such as L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), tyrosine and epinephrine readily in the absence of hydrogen peroxide, the sensitivity of the enzymes to the inhibitors cyanide, azide and hexylresorcinol, activation by SDS and having typical tyrosinase molecular masses of approx. 60 kDa. Comparing different species within the Peltigerineae showed that the activities of tyrosinases and laccase were correlated to each other. Desiccation and wounding stimulated laccase activity, while only wounding stimulated tyrosinase activity. CONCLUSIONS: Cell walls of lichens in sub-order Peltigerineae have much higher activities and a greater diversity of cell wall redox enzymes compared with other lichens. Possible roles of tyrosinases include melanization, removal of toxic phenols or quinones, and production of herbivore deterrents. 相似文献
