Abstract:
Microsome fractions from hypocotyls of dark-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) seedlings incorporated myo-inositol into phosphatidylinositol by an exchange reaction stimulated by Mn(2+) (optimum at 10 mm) and cytidine nucleotides (CMP = CDP approximately CTP) but not by Mg(2+) or nucleotides other than cytidine nucleotides. The activity was membrane associated, with an optimum pH of 8, stimulated by auxin, and inhibited by certain thiol reagents or by heating above 40 degrees C. With radioactive inositol, phosphatidylinositol was the only radioactive product. That turnover was by myo-inositol exchange was verified from experiments where unlabeled inositol replaced already incorporated inositol with approximately the same kinetics as for the incorporation of label. Both the incorporation and the displacement reactions were stimulated by Mn(2+) and CMP and both were responsive to auxin with comparable dose dependency. Corresponding exchange activities with choline or ethanolamine were not observed. The phosphatidylinositol-myo-inositol exchange activity was low or absent from plasma membrane, tonoplast, and mitochondria enriched fractions. The activity co-localized on free-flow electrophoresis and aqueous two-phase partition with NADPH cytochrome c reductase and latent IDPase, markers for endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, respectively. With microsomes incubated with both ATP and inositol, polyphosphoinositides were unlabeled demonstrating separate locations for the inositol exchange and phosphatidylinositol kinase reactions. Thus, the auxin-responsive inositol turnover activity of soybean membranes is distinct from the usual de novo biosynthetic pathway. It is not the result of a traditional D-type phospholipase and appears not to involve plasma membrane-associated polyphosphoinositide metabolism. It most closely resembles previously described phosphatidylinositol-myo-inositol exchange activities of plant and animal endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract

Microsome fractions from hypocotyls of dark-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) seedlings incorporated myo-inositol into phosphatidylinositol by an exchange reaction stimulated by Mn (optimum at 10 mm) and cytidine nucleotides (CMP = CDP ≃ CTP) but not by Mg or nucleotides other than cytidine nucleotides. The activity was membrane associated, with an optimum pH of 8, stimulated by auxin, and inhibited by certain thiol reagents or by heating above 40°C. With radioactive inositol, phosphatidylinositol was the only radioactive product. That turnover was by myo-inositol exchange was verified from experiments where unlabeled inositol replaced already incorporated inositol with approximately the same kinetics as for the incorporation of label. Both the incorporation and the displacement reactions were stimulated by Mn and CMP and both were responsive to auxin with comparable dose dependency. Corresponding exchange activities with choline or ethanolamine were not observed. The phosphatidylinositol-myo-inositol exchange activity was low or absent from plasma membrane, tonoplast, and mitochondria enriched fractions. The activity co-localized on free-flow electrophoresis and aqueous two-phase partition with NADPH cytochrome c reductase and latent IDPase, markers for endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, respectively. With microsomes incubated with both ATP and inositol, polyphosphoinositides were unlabeled demonstrating separate locations for the inositol exchange and phosphatidylinositol kinase reactions. Thus, the auxin-responsive inositol turnover activity of soybean membranes is distinct from the usual de novo biosynthetic pathway. It is not the result of a traditional D-type phospholipase and appears not to involve plasma membrane-associated polyphosphoinositide metabolism. It most closely resembles previously described phosphatidylinositol-myo-inositol exchange activities of plant and animal endoplasmic reticulum.
