Regulation of H+ Excretion 1: ROLE OF PROTEIN RELEASED BY OSMOTIC SHOCK

RESUMO

When the protoplasts of peeled oat leaf segments (Avena sativa L.) expand after a brief plasmolysis (osmotic shock), fusicoccin-enhanced H+ excretion is reduced and protein is released to the rehydration medium. This shock protein seems to arise from the cell surface, not from the interior of leaky cells or from broken cells, because (a) the protein differs quantitatively and qualitatively from protein of cell homogenates as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; (b) peroxidase, phosphatase, and malate dehydrogenase activities, which are associated with the cell surface, are detected in the shock fluids; (c) the specific activities of enzymes in shock fluids are different than those of cell homogenates; (d) the amount of protein released is correlated with tissue mass, not number of cut surfaces and is not diminished by pre-washing the tissue.
