Differential patterns of arabinosylation by membranes of suspension-cultured cells of Phaseolus vulgaris (French bean) after subculture or elicitation.

ABSTRACT: Suspension-cultured cells of Phaseolus vulgaris (French bean) incorporated [1-3H] arabinose in vivo into high-Mr polymers that could be separated into glycoprotein and polysaccharide. Microsomal membranes from suspension-cultured cells of beans incorporated arabinose from UDP-beta-L-arabinose in vitro into both polysaccharide and glycoprotein. The enzyme involved in arabinan synthesis, arabinan synthase, appeared to be immunologically distinct from the protein:arabinosyltransferase system. Both these activities are inducible, but behave differently with either plant-growth-regulator or fungal-elicitor treatments. After subculture of cells entering the stationary growth phase the arabinan synthase activity reaches much higher values than does that of the protein transferase system during the initial period of cell division and growth, whereas after elicitation at the same growth stage, all the increased incorporation of arabinose occurs into glycoprotein of Mr higher than 200 000 and to a greater extent into a specific glycoprotein of Mr 42 500. Preliminary characterization of these glycoproteins prepared under non-reducing conditions and after acid and alkaline hydrolysis suggests that the high-Mr glycoprotein material is similar to arabinogalactan protein, whereas the lower-Mr material may be a hydroxyproline-rich protein existing as a dimer and that specifically increases during the hypersensitive response of the cells to the fungal elicitor from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the plastocyanin from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues, and the sequence was determined by characterization of CNBr, tryptic, chymotryptic and thermolysin peptides. When the sequence is compared with that from the plastocyanin of the unicellular green alga Chlorella fusca, the French-bean protein shows the deletion of the N-terminal residue, a two residue insertion and 53 identical residues. Detailed evidence for the sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50037 (16pp., 1 microfiche) at the British Library (Lending Division) (formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks.

Low temperature enhances photosynthetic down-regulation in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants.

Project description:The mechanisms of photosynthetic adaptation to different combinations of temperature and irradiance during growth, and especially the consequences of exposure to high light (2000 micro mol m(-2) s(-1) PPFD) for 5 min, simulating natural sunflecks, was studied in bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A protocol using only short (3 min) dark pre-treatment was introduced to maximize the amount of replication possible in studies of chlorophyll fluorescence. High light at low temperature (10 degrees C) significantly down-regulated photosynthetic electron transport capacity [as measured by the efficiency of photosystem II (PSII)], with the protective acclimation allowing the simulated sunflecks to be used more effectively for photosynthesis by plants grown in low light. The greater energy dissipation by thermal processes (lower F(v)'/F(m)' ratio) at low temperature was related to increased xanthophyll de-epoxidation and to the fact that photosynthetic carbon fixation was more limiting at low than at high temperatures. A key objective was to investigate the role of photorespiration in acclimation to irradiance and temperature by comparing the effect of normal (21 kPa) and low (1.5 kPa) O(2) concentrations. Low [O(2)] decreased F(v)/F(m) and the efficiency of PSII (Phi(PSII)), related to greater PSII down-regulation in cold pre-treated plants, but minimized further inhibition by the mild 'sunfleck' treatment used. Results support the hypothesis that photorespiration provides a 'safety-valve' for excess energy.

A xylosyltransferase involved in the synthesis of a protein-associated xyloglucan in suspension-cultured dwarf-French-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cells and its interaction with a glucosyltransferase.

Project description:A particulate enzyme preparation made from suspension-cultured dwarf-French-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cv. Canadian Wonder cells was shown to incorporate xylose from UDP-D-[14C]xylose into polysaccharide. The reaction was dependent upon the presence of UDP-D-glucose and was stimulated, and apparently protected, by GDP-D-glucose and GDP-D-mannose, though neither was able to replace UDP-D-glucose as a glycosyl donor. The product of the reaction was identified as xyloglucan by analysis of products of enzyme breakdown and acid hydrolysis. Mr determination after proteinase K digestion indicated that the nascent xyloglucan is closely associated with protein. Preincubation of the enzyme with UDP-D-glucose stimulated incorporation from UDP-D-[14C]xylose, suggesting an 'imprecise' mechanism of biosynthesis, as defined by Waldron & Brett [(1985) in Biochemistry of Plant Cell Walls (Brett, C. T. & Hillman, J. R., eds.) (SEB Semin. Ser. 28), pp. 79-97, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge].

Elicitor-induced prolyl hydroxylase from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Localization, purification and properties.

Project description:The enzyme prolyl hydroxylase (proline: 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase, EC 1.14.11.12), induced in suspension-cultured cells of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (French bean) by treatment with an elicitor preparation from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, has been investigated. The enzyme, which catalyses the hydroxylation of poly-L-proline with the stoichiometric decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate, has been shown to be localized mainly in smooth endoplasmic reticulum. After solubilization from microsomal membranes, the hydroxylase was purified by ion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on poly-L-proline-Sepharose 4B. The subunit Mr, as assessed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/poly-acrylamide-gel electrophoresis, was 65 000, the subunit apparently being recovered as a doublet: the subunits associate under non-denaturing conditions to give at least a tetramer. The bean hydroxylase has kinetic properties and cofactor requirements similar to those previously reported for the enzyme from other plants. Elicitor treatment of suspension-cultured bean cells leads to a rapid induction of prolyl hydroxylase activity concomitant with induction of a protein: arabinosyl-transferase and increased levels of an arabinosylated hydroxyproline-rich protein.

L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Characterization and differential expression of antigenic multiple Mr forms.

Project description:L-Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5) purified from suspension-cultured cells of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) has been further characterized. A number of techniques, including use of an antiserum and affinity probes, have established that all the antigenic polypeptides represent polymorphic Mr forms of the enzyme. These peptides include an apparently higher-Mr (83,000) form which shows different kinetics of induction from the Mr-77000 forms that have been extensively characterized previously. The larger subunit appeared to be PAL by the following criteria: (a) binding to specific affinity and antibody matrices; (b) peptide mapping; (c) active-site labelling; and (d) amino acid composition. The increased Mr of the larger subunit was not completely attributable to glycosylation, although some sugar residues were detected in this Mr-83000 form but not in the other Mr forms. Mr-83000 subunits were also immunoprecipitated from translations in vitro of mRNA from cells that had been stressed for a long period. They were also detected in leaf tissues that were not yet undergoing an extensive wound response. This form of the enzyme may be constitutive and involved in the low-level accumulation of phenolics in most cell types. By contrast, the Mr-77000 forms of PAL were rapidly induced during elicitor action, wounding or cytokinin-induced xylogenesis as a key regulatory enzyme involved in the synthesis of phenolics under stress conditions or during differentiation.

Presence of sterol-binding sites in the cytosol of French-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) roots.

Project description:Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and stigmasterol have been shown to stimulate Ca2+ uptake and to induce calmodulin synthesis in cultured French-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) roots. In addition, the appearance of calmodulin in the cultures in response to vitamin D3 could be prevented by RNA-synthesis inhibitors. To investigate the possibility that the sterols affect root DNA transcription through a receptor-mediated mechanism, the existence of sterol-binding sites in P. vulgaris roots was investigated. Specific binding of [3H]vitamin D3 could be demonstrated with intact tissue and the cytosolic fraction obtained therefrom. Equilibrium in the binding reaction with cytosol was attained after 4 h of incubation at 0 degrees C. The [3H]vitamin D3 was reversibly bound, since it could be displaced by an excess of unlabelled sterol. An equilibrium binding constant (KD) of (3.48 +/- 0.09) x 10(-9) M and a maximum binding-site concentration (nmax) of 32 +/- 2.54 (3) pmol/mg of protein could be calculated by Scatchard [(1949) Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 51, 660-672] analysis. In addition to vitamin D3, stigmasterol and sitosterol were effectively able to compete with [3H]vitamin D3 for binding to root cytosol. Cortisol, oestradiol and progesterone displaced bound labelled vitamin D3 to a lesser extent, whereas 5 beta-dihydrotestosterone, lanosterol and diosgenin were ineffective. The affinity and specificity of the root sterol-binding sites are in agreement with the characteristics of tissue responses to the sterols (Ca2+ uptake and calmodulin synthesis).

Mevalonate kinase in green leaves and etiolated cotyledons of the french bean Phaseolus vulgaris.

Project description:1. Partially purified preparations of mevalonate kinase were obtained from green leaves and etiolated cotyledons of Phaseolus vulgaris. 2. After removal of interfering polyphenols both enzyme preparations behaved identically on gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and density-gradient centrifugation. 3. The kinetic parameters of the preparations from the two sources were indistinguishable. The preparation from etiolated cotyledons had a K(m) of 4.26x10(-5)m for RS-mevalonate and 1.54x10(-3)m for ATP. The preparation from green leaves had a K(m) of 4.55x10(-5)m for RS-mevalonate and 1.75x10(-3)m for ATP. The pH optimum of both enzyme preparations was pH7.0. 4. The effect of inhibitors on the two enzyme preparations was similar, both being inhibited by reagents known to react with thiol groups, and the two preparations had similar inhibitor constants for competitive inhibition by prenyl pyrophosphates. 5. The molecular weight of the enzyme in both preparations was estimated to be 100000; the enzymes from the two preparations had similar mobilities on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis.

Cytogenetic map of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

Project description:A cytogenetic map of common bean was built by in situ hybridization of 35 bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) selected with markers mapping to eight linkage groups, plus two plasmids for 5S and 45S ribosomal DNA and one bacteriophage. Together with three previously mapped chromosomes (chromosomes 3, 4, and 7), 43 anchoring points between the genetic map and the cytogenetic map of the species are now available. Furthermore, a subset of four BAC clones was proposed to identify the 11 chromosome pairs of the standard cultivar BAT93. Three of these BACs labelled more than a single chromosome pair, indicating the presence of repetitive DNA in their inserts. A repetitive distribution pattern was observed for most of the BACs; for 38% of them, highly repetitive pericentromeric or subtelomeric signals were observed. These distribution patterns corresponded to pericentromeric and subtelomeric heterochromatin blocks observed with other staining methods. Altogether, the results indicate that around half of the common bean genome is heterochromatic and that genes and repetitive sequences are intermingled in the euchromatin and heterochromatin of the species.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals differential gene expression in response to aluminium in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes.

Project description:Background and aimsAluminium (Al) resistance in common bean is known to be due to exudation of citrate from the root after a lag phase, indicating the induction of gene transcription and protein synthesis. The aims of this study were to identify Al-induced differentially expressed genes and to analyse the expression of candidate genes conferring Al resistance in bean.MethodsThe suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method was used to identify differentially expressed genes in an Al-resistant bean genotype ('Quimbaya') during the induction period. Using quantitative real-time PCR the expression patterns of selected genes were compared between an Al-resistant and an Al-sensitive genotype ('VAX 1') treated with Al for up to 24 h.Key resultsShort-term Al treatment resulted in up-regulation of stress-induced genes and down-regulation of genes involved in metabolism. However, the expressions of genes encoding enzymes involved in citrate metabolism were not significantly affected by Al. Al treatment dramatically increased the expression of common bean expressed sequence tags belonging to the citrate transporter gene family MATE (multidrug and toxin extrusion family protein) in both the Al-resistant and -sensitive genotype in close agreement with Al-induced citrate exudation.ConclusionsThe expression of a citrate transporter MATE gene is crucial for citrate exudation in common bean. However, although the expression of the citrate transporter is a prerequisite for citrate exudation, genotypic Al resistance in common bean particularly depends on the capacity to sustain the synthesis of citrate for maintaining the cytosolic citrate pool that enables exudation.

Partial purification of Golgi-bound arabinosyltransferase and two isoforms of xylosyltransferase from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

Project description:The purification of glycosyltransferases involved in wall matrix polysaccharide synthesis has been attempted. A number of activities readily demonstrated in isolated Golgi membranes are lost following detergent solubilization. However, solubilization releases pyrophosphorylases and phosphatases that hydrolyse the substrate in enzyme assays, whether UDP-glucose, -arabinose or -xylose is used. This hydrolysis, which cannot be completely inhibited, appears to be the major factor in the apparent loss of activity. Separation of this hydrolytic activity during further purification by ion-exchange and gel exclusion leads to recovery of glycosyltransferase activity. Thus two xylosyltransferases and one arabinosyltransferase could be partially purified. These appeared to be differentially expressed. The arabinosyltransferase of apparent M(r) 70,000 on size-exclusion chromatography was isolated from cells undergoing rapid growth and division. A xylosyltransferase of apparent M(r) 38,000 on size-exclusion chromatography was associated with cell expansion and primary wall synthesis. A second xylosyltransferase, which was purified to near homogeneity with M(r) 40,000, showed a peak of activity during the period of maximum secondary wall synthesis.
