Contrasting responses of sulphate and phosphate transport in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots to protein-modifying reagents and inhibition of protein synthesis.

Abstract：

:The uptake of sulphate into roots of barley seedlings is highly sensitive to phenylglyoxal (PhG), an arginine-binding reagent. Uptake was inhibited by >80% by a 1-h pre-treatment of roots with 0.45 mol · m(-3) PhG. Inhibition was maximal in pre-treatment solutions buffered between pH 4.5 and 6.5. Phosphate uptake, measured simultaneously by double-labelling uptake solutions with (32)P and (35)S, was less susceptible to inhibition by PhG, particularly at pH <6.5, and was completely insensitive to the less permeant reagent p-hydroxyphenylglyoxal (OH-PhG) administered at 1 mol · m(-3) at pH at 5.0 or 8.2; sulphate uptake was inhibited in -S plants by 90% by OH-PhG-treatment. Root respiration in young root segments was unaffected by OH-PhG pre-treatment for 1 h and inhibited by only 17% after 90 min pre-treatment. The uptake of both ions was inhibited by the dithiol-specific reagent, phenylarsine oxide even after short exposures (0.5-5.0 min). Sulphate uptake was more severely inhibited than that of phosphate, but in both cases inhibition could be substantially reversed by 5 min washing of treated roots by 5 mol · m(-3) dithioerythritol. After longer pre-treatment (50 min) with phenylarsine oxide, inhibition of the ion fluxes was not relieved by washing with dithioerythritol. Inhibition of sulphate influx by PhG was completely reversed by washing the roots for 24 h with culture solution lacking the inhibitor. The reversal was dependent on protein synthesis; less than 20% recovery was seen in the presence of 50 mmol · m(-3) cycloheximide. Sulphate uptake declined rapidly when -S roots were treated with cycloheximide. In the same roots the phosphate influx was little affected, small significant inhibitions being seen only after 4 h of treatment. Respiration was depressed by only 20% in apical and by 31% in basal root segments by cycloheximide pre-treatment for 2 h. Similar rates of collapse of the sulphate uptake and insensitivity of phosphate uptake were seen when protein synthesis was inhibited by azetidine carboxylic acid, p-fluorophenylalanine and puromycin. Considering the effects of all of the protein-synthesis inhibitors together leads to the conclusion that the sulphate transporter itself, or some essential sub-component of the uptake system, turns over rapidly with a half-time of about 2.5 h. The turnover of the phosphate transporter is evidently much slower. The results are discussed in relation to strategies for identifying the transport proteins and to the regulation of transporter activity during nutrient stress.
