Extracellular calmodulin acceleratesrbcS-GUS expression in suspension-cultured transgenic tobacco cell

The role of extracellular calmodulin in regulating expression of rbcS in darkness was examined. A suspension-cultured cell line was generated from the transgenic rbcS-GUS tobacco. It was demonstrated that purified calmodulin added to the media enhanced rbcS-GUS expression. The time course of expression of rbcS-GUS and that of the secretion of calmodulin in the suspended transgenic tobacco cells in darkness were very similar. Both showed initial increase followed by decline with maximum calmodulin secretion preceding maximum GUS expression. The addition of membrane-impermeable calmodulin antagonist W7-agarose inhibited the expression of rbcS-GUS in darkness, but this inhibitory effect was completely reversed by adding exogenous purified calmodulin. These results provide the first evidence that extracellular calmodulin accelerates rbcS gene expression.     

植物胞外CaM调节机理初探

利用ＮＡＤ激酶法和平衡透析法,作者研究了不同ｐＨ条件对Ｃａ＾２＋,钙调素（ＣａＭ）的结合能力及ＣａＭ激活ＮＡＤ激酶的影响。结果发现：Ｈ＾＋不仅能降低Ｃａ＾２＋与ＣａＭ的结合能力而且还能显著抑制ＣａＭ对ＮＡＤ激酶的激活。本实验证实了酸性条件下不利于ＣａＭ的活性状态的转变,即ｐＨ值低时激活ＣａＭ需要更多的Ｃａ＾２＋。此研究结果为植物胞外ＣａＭ的活性状态的转变,即ｐＨ值低时激活ＣａＭ需要更多的Ｃａ＾２＋     

Involvement of heterotrimeric G protein in signal transduction of extracellular calmodulin in regulatingrbcS expression

The role of heterotrimeric G protein in signal transduction pathway of extracellular calmodulin in regulating rbcS expression was examined in suspension-cultured cells of transgenic tobacco. Pharmalogical experiments indicated that G protein agonist cholera toxin enhanced rbcS expression and heterotrimeric G protein antagonist pertussis toxin inhibited rbcS expression in transgenic tobacco cells. Pertussis toxin also inhibited the enhancement effect caused by exogenous purified calmodulin on rbcS expression, whereas cholera toxin completely reversed the inhibitory effects caused by anti-calmodulin serum on rbcS expression. The right side-out vesicles from tobacco cell membrane were purified, which contained all of substrates for fluometric assay of GTPase activity. Exogenous purified calmodulin, when adding directly to the medium of plasma membrane vesicles, significantly activated GTPase activity in the right side-out plasma membrane vesicles, and this increase in GTPase activity was completely inhibited both by heterotrimeric G proteins antagonist pertussis toxin and nonhy-drolyzable GTP analogs GMP-PCP. These results provided the evidence that heterotrimeric G proteins may be involved in signal transduction pathways of extracellular calmodulin to regulate rbcS gene expression.

In situ localization of calmodulin mRNA in the developing tobacco anthers

The temporal and spatial expression patterns of calmodulin mRNA in the developing tobacco anthers were investigated by in situ RNA hybridization, using digoxigening-labeled anti-RNA probe. Calmodulin mRNA was distributed in various developmental stages of tobacco anthers, but the expression level had temporal and spatial differences distinctly. During early stage of anther development, the expression level of calmodulin mRNA was significantly high, mainly distributed in epidermis, tapetum and transfusion parenchyma cells and so on. Especially, more mRNA was accumulated in the nuclei and chromosomes of microspore mother cells prior to and during meiosis. With the development of anther, mRNA was decreased gradually in the anther wall and pollen. By mature pollen stage, only a stronger positive reaction still existed in the epidermis of anther wall and transfusion parenchyma cells. The results suggest that the temporal and spatial expression of calmodulin mRNA is closely correlated with cell division, pollen development and substance transport.

A bacterial calcium-binding protein homologous to calmodulin

Many of the effects of calcium ions in eukaryotic cells are mediated by calcium-binding regulatory proteins such as calmodulin, in which each calcium-binding site has a distinctive helix-loop-helix conformation termed the EF hand. Protein S from the spore coat of the Gram-negative bacterium Myxococcus xanthus has been shown to resemble calmodulin in its internally-duplicated structure and ability to bind calcium. However, it has a beta-sheet secondary structure rather than the helix-loop-helix arrangement of the eukaryotic proteins. We have determined the complete amino-acid sequence of a calcium-binding protein from the Gram-positive bacterium "Streptomyces erythraeus" by cloning and sequencing the corresponding gene. It contains four EF-hand motifs bearing remarkable sequence similarity to the calcium-binding sites in calmodulin. This implies that the EF-hand super-family may have evolved from ancient proteins present in prokaryotes.     

Three-dimensional structure of calmodulin

The three-dimensional structure of calmodulin has been determined crystallographically at 3.0 A resolution. The molecule consists of two globular lobes connected by a long exposed alpha-helix. Each lobe binds two calcium ions through helix-loop-helix domains similar to those of other calcium-binding proteins. The long helix between the lobes may be involved in interactions of calmodulin with drugs and various proteins.
