The respiration of fresh sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) slices is resistant to, and often stimulated by, cyanide and antimycin A. m-Chlorobenzhydroxamic acid (CLAM), a selective inhibitor of the alternate path, inhibits respiration in the presence of cyanide and has a limited inhibitory effect in the presence of antimycin A. Thus, a partial bypass of the antimycinsensitive site is indicated. Respiration rises 2-fold at best with slice aging, the increment being cytochrome-mediated. The cyanide-resistant pathway contributes neither to coupled fresh slice respiration nor to the induced respiration in the absence of inhibitors of the cytochrome path. In the presence of uncoupler, however, the alternate path is engaged both in fresh and aged slices. Vcyt, the maximal capacity of the cytochrome path, remains essentially the same with slice aging, whereas Valt decreases from 20 to 60 per cent. The induced respiration is readily accommodated by the potential cytochrome path capacity of fresh slices, which is realized on aging. Accordingly, there is no need to invoke mitochondrial proliferation in explanation of the development of the induced respiration. The engagement of the alternate path in response to uncoupler reflects substrate mobilization to a degree that substrate oxidation exceeds the electron transport capacity of the cytochrome path.
Fresh slices do not utilize exogenous substrates, whereas aged slices do so readily. Cerulenin, a specific inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, prevents the development of the induced respiration as well as the capacity to oxidize exogenous substrates. It is suggested that lipid, and ultimately membrane, biosynthesis is central to the development of the induced respiration and the ability to use exogenous substrates, much as in potato.

Freshly cut slices of potato tuber show an extensive loss of membrane lipid components which may be as great as 35% for phospholipids and 30% for glycolipids, in less than 15 minutes at 3 C. Phosphatidyl-choline, phosphatidyl-ethanolamine and mono- and di-galactosyl diglycerides comprise the bulk of the lipids that are degraded. Concomitantly, there is a pronounced loss of linoleic and linolenic acids. Whereas degradative events elicited by slicing proceed to a depth of at least 10 millimeters from the surface, phospholipid biosynthesis, as well as the development of the wound induced respiration and cyanide resistance on aging, are restricted to the superficial 1 millimeter. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis thaliana, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) is encoded by a multigene family consisting of at least five members whose expression is induced by hormones, developmental signals, and protein synthesis inhibition. Li+, known to interfere with the phosphoinositide (PI) second messenger system by inhibiting the activity of inositol-phosphate phosphatases, is one of the strongest inducers of ACC synthase activity in plants. Treatment of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings with LiCl results in a rapid induction of the ACS5 gene. Also, LiCl represses the cycloheximide (CHX)-induced accumulation of the ACS2 mRNA. The effects of Li+ on the expression of ACS5 and ACS2 are specific, dose-dependent, and can be reversed by Ca2+ and mimicked by the protein kinase inhibitor K-252a. The results suggest that the regulation of some ACS genes by various inducers may involve protein kinase activity, which in turn may be controlled through an inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3)-mediated Ca2+ mobilization. Since plants contain no Li+, the cation appears to unmask pre-existing biochemical capacity that may be utilized by various unknown transducers during plant growth and development. 相似文献
