Effect of OA-inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A - on initiation of DNA replication and mitosis in Vicia faba root meristems

100%

Polit J. , Maszewski J.

nr 3A

According to the principal control point (PCP) hypothesis, experiments with excised, carbohydrate-starved stationary root meristems of Vicia faba var. minor have demonstrated that cells which previously divided asynchronously were preferentially blocked in G1 (PCP1) and G2 (PCP2) phases. When stationary phase meristems are supplied with exogenous carbohydrate (2 % sucrose), the G1- and G2-arrested cells start out DNA replication and mitotic divisions, respectively. The resumption of DNA synthesis and mitosis is not immediate and the delays of Gi - and G2-arrested cells are found different. Using this model, we examined the effects of 4 pulse incubations with okadaic acid (OA), a specific inhibitor of PP1 and PP2A, on the duration of intervals elapsing between the provision of sucrose and the first appearance of S- and M-phase cells. We have found that depending on the period during which OA had been applied, the release from G1 and G2 phase arrest-points becomes prolonged, showing different time-course modifications The obtained data provide evidence that activation of PP1 and PP2A is required to allow the cells for both PCP1→S and PCP2→M transitions in root meristems of V. faba.

IAA and BAP affect protein phosphorylation-dependent processes during sucrose-mediated G1 to S and G2 to M transitions in root meristem cells of Vicia faba

In carbohydrate-starved root meristems of Vicia faba subsp. minor, the expression of two Principal Control Points located at the final stages of the G1 (PCP1) and G2 (PCP2) phases has been found to be correlated with a marked decrease of protein phosphorylation within cell nuclei, nucleoli and cytoplasm. Adopting the same experimental model in our present studies, monoclonal FITC conjugated antibodies that recognize phosphorylated form of threonine (αTPab-FITC) were used to obtain an insight about how the indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), benzyl-6-aminopurine (BAP), and the mixture of both phytohormones influence the time-course changes in an overall protein phosphorylation during sucrose-mediated PCP1→S and PCP2→M transitions. Unsuspectedly, neither IAA, BAP, nor the mixture of both phytohormones supplied in combination with sucrose did up-regulate protein phosphorylation. However using the block-and-release method, it was shown that root meristems of Vicia provided with sucrose alone indicated higher levels of αTPab-FITC. Contrarily, phytohormones supplied in combination with sucrose induced apparent decline in phosphorylation of cell proteins, which - when compared with the influence of sucrose alone - became increasingly evident in time. Thus, it seems probable, that a general decline in the amount of αTPab-FITC labeled epitopes may overlay specific phosphorylations and dephosphorylations governed by the main cell cycle kinases and phosphatases.
