Abstract: | The sensitivity to indole-3-acetic acid of the proton translocation catalyzed by the plasma membrane proton pump from tobacco cells was determined in vitro, on plasma membrane vesicles, according to the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid concentration during cell culture. The sensitivity was shown to increase by 20-fold along with the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid concentration (between 0.05 µM and 0.25 µM). Treatment of cells with indole-3-acetic acid prior to membrane purification promoted an increase in the sensitivity up to 100-fold. This increase was observed after treatment with micromolar indole-3-acetic acid for cells cultured in the presence of 0.05 µM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, but required sub-millimolar indole-3-acetic acid concentrations for cells cultured in the presence of 0.25 µM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. On the other hand, the increase in sensitivity occured within 20 min irrespective of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid concentration during cell culture. It is proposed that such increase in the sensitivity could constitute a progressive amplification process favouring the stimulation of proton translocation by limited changes in auxin concentration. |
