The function of the epidermis in auxinmediated elongation growth of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptile segments was investigated. The following results were obtained: i) In the intact organ, there is a strong tissue tension produced by the expanding force of the inner tissues which is balanced by the contracting force of the outer epidermal wall. The compression imposed by the stretched outer epidermal wall upon the inner tissues gives rise to a wall-pressure difference which can be transformed into a water-potential difference between inner tissues and external medium (water) by removal of the outer epidermal wall. ii) Peeled segments fail to respond to auxin with normal growth. The plastic extensibility of the inner-tissue cell walls (measured with a constant-load extensiometer using living segments) is not influenced by auxin (or abscisic acid) in peeled or nonpeeled segments. It is concluded that auxin induces (and abscisic acid inhibits) elongation of the intact segment by increasing (decreasing) the extensibility specifically in the outer epidermal wall. In addition, tissue tension (and therewith the pressure acting on the outer epidermal wall) is maintained at a constant level over several hours of auxin-mediated growth, indicating that the inner cells also contribute actively to organ elongation. However, this contribution does not involve an increase of cell-wall extensibility, but a continuous shifting of the potential extension threshold (i.e., the length to which the inner tissues would extend by water uptake after peeling) ahead of the actual segment length. Thus, steady growth involves the coordinated action of wall loosening in the epidermis and regeneration of tissue tension by the inner tissues. iii) Electron micrographs show the accumulation of striking osmiophilic material (particles of approx. 0.3 m diameter) specifically at the plasma membrane/cell-wall interface of the outer epidermal wall of auxin-treated segments. iv) Peeled segments fail to respond to auxin with proton excretion. This is in contrast to fusicoccin-induced proton excretion and growth which can also be readily demonstrated in the absence of the epidermis. However, peeled and nonpeeled segments show the same sensitivity to protons with regard to the induction of acid-mediated in-vivo elongation and cell-wall extensibility. The observed threshold at pH 4.5–5.0 is too low to be compatible with a second messenger function of protons also in the growth response of the inner tissues. Organ growth is described in terms of a physical model which takes into account tissue tension and extensibility of the outer epidermal wall as the decisive growth parameters. This model states that the wall pressure increment, produced by tissue tension in the outer epidermal wall, rather than the pressure acting on the inner-tissue walls, is the driving force of growth.Abbreviations and symbols

Photoaffinity labeling and partial purification of the putative plant receptor for the fungal wilt-inducing toxin,fusicoccin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The high-affinity fusicoccin-binding protein (FCBP) was solubilized from plasma-membrane vesicles prepared from leaves of Vicia faba L. by aqueous two-phase partitioning. Conditions for the solubilization of intact FCBP-radioligand complexes were worked out. About 60–70% of the complexes can be solubilized with 50–60 mM nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide in the presence of 1 mg· ml-1 soybean phosphatidylcholine, type IV S, and 20% (v/v) glycerol at pH 5.5. The slow dissociation of the radioligand, 9-nor-fusicoccin-8-alcohol-[3H] from the FCBP at low temperatures permits the purification of FCBP-radioligand complexes at 4–10° C by fast protein liquid chromatography on anion-exchange and gel permeation columns. The FCBP, extracted from plasma membranes with cholate and chromatographed in the presence of this detergent, gave an apparent molecular mass (Mr) of 80±20 kDa on gel permeation columns under the conditions used. By comparison of the elution profiles of the fraction most enriched in FCBP-radioligand complexes with polypeptide patterns obtained on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, a polypeptide with an Mr of approx. 34kDa co-separated with the radioactivity profile. A second, faint band of approx. 31 kDa was sometimes also observed co-electrophoresing. Photoaffinity labeling of plasma-membrane vesicles with the new compound 9-nor-8[(3,5-[3H]-4-azidobenzoy)ethylenediamine]-fusicoccin ([3H]ABE-FC) and subsequent separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis labeled a single band with an Mr of 35±1 kDa. Labeling in this band was strongly reduced when the membranes were incubated with [3H]ABE-FC in the presence of 0.1–1 M fusicoccin. From our data, we conclude (i) that the 34-35-kDa polypeptide represents the FCBP and (ii) that in detergent extracts of plasma membranes this polypeptide is probably present as a di- or trimeric structure.Abbreviations ABE-FC

Fusicoccin (FC) is commonly thought to promote electrogenic H+ extrusion through its action on the H+-ATPase of the plant plasma membrane. Nonetheless, essential support from rigorous electrophysiological analysis has remained largely absent. The present investigation surveys the effects of FC on the charge transport properties at the membrane of a higher-plant cell — stomatal guard cells of Vicia faba L. — for which the electrical geometry is defined, and from which the voltage-dependent kinetic characteristic for the pump has been identified. Current-voltage (I-V) relations of the guard cells were determined before and during treatments with FC, and during brief exposures to NaCN plus salicylhydroxamic acid. Responses of the pump and of the ensemble of secondary transport processes were identified in the whole-membrane conductance-voltage relations and in the difference-current-voltage (dI-V) characteristic for the pump. In 0.1 mM K+, exposure to 10 M FC shifted guard-cell potentials negative by 29–61 mV. Current-and conductance-voltage profiles indicated limited changes in the pump I-V characteristic, an observation which was confirmed through explicit kinetic analysis of pump dI-V relations. However, the voltage response was accompanied by a 1.5-to 2.6-fold fall in membrane conductance. These results challenge conventional views of fusicoccin action by ascribing the electrical responses to reduced current passage through secondary transport pathways as well as to enhanced electrogenic ion pumping.Abbreviations and symbols Hepes

An H+ ATPase at the plasma-membrane of guard cells is thought to establish an electrochemical gradient that drives K+ and Cl– uptake, resulting in osmotic swelling of the guard cells and stomatal opening. There are, however, conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of the plasma-membrane H+-ATPase inhibitor, vanadate, in inhibiting both H+ extrusion from guard cells and stomatal opening. We found that 1 mM vanadate inhibited light-stimulated stomatal opening in epidermal peels of Commelina communis L. only at KCl concentrations lower than 50 mM. When impermeant n-methylglucamine and HCl (pH 7.2) were substituted for KCl, vanadate inhibition was still not observed at total salt concentrations50 mM. In contrast, in the absence of Cl–, when V2O5 was used to buffer KOH, vanadate inhibition of stomatal opening occurred at K+ concentrations as high as 70 mM. Partial vanadate inhibition was observed in the presence of the impermeant anion, iminodiacetic acid (100 mM KHN(CH2CO2H)2). These results indicate that high concentrations of permeant anions prevent vanadate uptake and consequently prevent its inhibitory effect. In support of this hypothesis, an inhibitor of anion uptake, anthracene-9-carboxylic acid, partially prevented vanadate inhibition of stomatal opening. Other anion-uptake inhibitors (1 mM 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid, 1 mM 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid, 200 M Zn2+) were not effective. Decreased vanadate inhibition at high Cl–/vanadate ratios may result from competition between vanadate and Cl– for uptake. Unlike metabolic inhibitors, vanadate did not affect the extent of stomatal closure stimulated by darkness, further indicating that the observed action of vanadate represents a specific inhibition of the guard-cell H+ ATPase.Abbreviations DIDS

Uptake of [3 H]-glycine by sections of Mimosa pudica L. pulvini is pH dependent (maximum at pH 5.5) and exhibits biphasic saturation kinetics in the range of concentrations tested (1–75 m M ). Effects of compounds which increase [fusicoccin (FC)] or decrease (uncouplers, ATPase inhibitors) the proton-motive force were tested both on the pH variations induced in the incubation medium and on glycine uptake by the pulvinar tissues: there is a close relationship between the time required for the effect of these compounds on the acidification (for FC) and the pH rise (for the inhibitors) of the medium and that needed respectively for promotion and inhibition of glycine uptake. Experiments with sulfhydryl-reacting compounds show that N-ethylmaleimide induces a large rise in pH in the incubation medium and strongly inhibits glycine uptake, whereas p -chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid has less effect on these processes. These results argue for a proton-glycine symport mechanism in the pulvinar tissue and thus support the previously postulated involvement of a proton pump in the regulation of pulvinar movement. 相似文献

In Avena coleoptile segments a decrease of cytoplasmic pH activates energy-dependent H+ extrusion into the apoplast, thereby triggering extension growth. This sequence of events cannot be inhibited by cycloheximide and is induced by the following conditions and compounds. (i) A short anaerobic treatment of coleoptile segments results in the formation of lactic acid and an intracellular decrease of pH. For a period of 20 min after transfer to normal air, the growth rate is up to six times higher than the rate before anaerobiosis. (ii) Similarly, incubation of segments with CN– (0.1 mM) in the presence of oxygen causes and accumulation of lactic acid and a fall in cell-sap pH. After removing CN– a growth burst occurs. (iii) Higher concentrations of permeable acids (10 mM in buffer pH 5.8) induce extension growth. This growth is O2-dependent and therefore differs from the acid growth, which can be triggered under anaerobic conditions by acid buffers of pH5 via the direct increase of cell-wall plasticity. (iv) A short application of CO2-saturated buffer (pH 5.8) causes CO2-induced elongation growth; after a 3-min pulse the growth rate is enhanced for about 15 min. (v) Lipophilic esters of acetic acid or propionic acid, such as naphthylacetate, naphthylpropionate, phenylacetate, benzylacetate induce elongation growth. These compounds, when taken up into the cell, are hydrolized by esterases; the acids released lower the cytoplasmic pH (shown by the pH indicator, fluorescein). The highest esterase activity was found in a microsomal membrane fraction of coleoptiles. While the carboxyester-induced extension growth is completely inhibited under anoxia, the initial acidification of the bathing solution can still be observed. This decrease in external pH is obviously the result of ester hydrolysis, caused by damaged cells, and is not the result of pH changes within the cell-wall compartment. It is suggested that a fast uptake of carboxyesters and the shift in equilibrium caused by their internal hydrolysis leads to a continuous formation of acids which lowers the cytoplasmic pH and activates the ATP-dependent H+ extrusion. In most experiments fusicoccin (a diacetic acid ester) acts similarly to naphthylacetate and the other carboxyesters, although quantitative differences exist. Therefore, it is possible that fusicoccin is effective partly on the basis of its ester characteristic. The effects observed are discussed with regard to the very narrow pH optimum of plasma-membrane H+-ATPases exhibiting their highest levels of activity at pH 6.5 (Hager and Biber 1984, Z. Naturforsch. C 39, 927–937).Abbreviations CHM

The effect of increasing osmotic values of the medium (mannitol) on the growth and the response mechanisms of seeds of radish ( Raphanus sativus L., cv. Ton do Rosso Quarantino) during the early phase of germination was investigated in the presence or absence of fusicoccin (FC). Decreasing the water potential in the medium inhibited the growth and the evolution of protein synthesis and enhanced H+ extrusion, net uptake of K+ and malic acid synthesis. FC, which stimulates these latter functions, counteracted the inhibitory effect of the decreasing water potential of the medium on growth and protein synthesis. Neither in the absence nor in the presence of FC did decreasing water potential of the medium enhance the synthesis of soluble sugars and amino acids to support the osmotic pressure of the seeds. The osmotic and water potentials of the seeds increased during germination. FC made the increase more rapid, while mannitol kept both potentials low. The pressure potentials of the seeds also decreased with time, and both FC and mannitol enhanced this change. If the seeds were without turgor, the development of protein synthesis was blocked. The seeds counteract the effect of decreasing water potentials in the medium by: a) enhancing H+ extrusion (and, as a consequence, wall loosening and transport mechanisms) and the synthesis of malic acid as apparent in the presence of FC; b) regulating the osmotic potentials of the cells (with a lower dilution of the osmotic compounds present in the seeds due to the diminished uptake of water); c) controlling the growth through the effects of a) and b) on the pressure potentials (internal hydrostatic pressure) of the seeds and on protein synthesis. 相似文献

Arabidopsis thaliana lines have been isolated that are insensitive to the fungal toxin fusicoccin (FC). Initial screening was done by selecting for plants that either grew well on high concentrations of FC or did not respond to FC by increases in H+-extrusion. All selected plants were tested, in several additional rounds of screening, for binding to microsomal proteins of a 3H-labeled radioligand of fusicoccin. A novel assay allowing for the direct selection of individual plants exhibiting reduced binding of FC was developed and used as screening procedure. Independent variant lines (43) with stably expressed, reduced binding of FC were isolated and subjected to a detailed characterization of their binding sites. The lines could be subdivided into several distinct classes with respect to these characteristics. In class-I lines, the data indicate a partial conversion of high-affinity binding sites to a low-affinity state. In class-II lines, the affinity of the binding site to FC is strongly reduced while the number of sites, as well as several other biochemical parameters, is completely unchanged, suggesting a specific alteration in the properties of the fusicoccin-binding protein. In class-III lines, the ligand-binding protein complex, while retaining its high affinity, is destabilized at supraoptimal concentrations of FC (such as those used for screening). In wild-type plants, only the high-affinity binding site was detected. Combined, these data prove that the high-affinity sites represent the plant's FC receptor.Abbreviations Ao

Aminophylline, an inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17), inhibits elongation and correlated H+ and K+ transport in embryos of Haplopappus gracilis and in pea internode segments. Moreover, the drug strongly inhibits the stimulation of these processes by fusicoccin and indole-3-acetic acid and reduces passive permeability of the membrane. The possible mechanisms of action of aminophylline are discussed.Abbreviations cAMP

During germination, the transmembrane electric potential (PD) of cortical cells of the embryonal axis of radish seeds (Raphanus sativus L.) rises from-120 mV initially to a maximum of-150 mV after 5 h incubation, then falls again to stable values of around-120 mV. Treatments inhibiting germination block the transitory PD increase. Administration of uncoupling agents or low temperatures, during the process of germination, produces a marked fall of the PD transitory increase. Abscisic Acid has a parallel inhibitory effect on PD and germination, while fusicoccin produces a rise in both; administration of abscisic acid with fusicoccin inhibits germination, while the PD remains at the high levels given by fusicoccin. These results are discussed in relation to ion exchange at membrane level.Abbreviations ABA
