Hydroxyproline Formation and Its Relation to Auxin-induced Cell Elongation in the Avena Coleoptile.

نویسنده

چکیده

A study has been made of the effects on hydroxyproline formation of 4 factors that influence the rate of cell elongation in the Avena coleoptile; auxin, sugars, an external osmoticum, and actinomycin D. Hydroxyproline formation is increased by a combination of auxin and sucrose, but is affected to a much lesser extent by either factor alone. Its formation is inhibited by an external osmoticum but is scarcely affected by actinomycin D. The lack of correlation between the amount of hydroxyproline synthesis and the growth rate suggests that hydroxyproline formation is not involved in the actual process of wall loosening. It is suggested, instead, that if the wall is to retain its capacity for rapid extension, those hemicelluloses which are incorporated into it by intussusception rather than by apposition must be attached to a hydroxyproline-protein.

Inhibition of cell elongation in Avena coleoptile by hydroxyproline.

A study has been made of the hydroxyproline-induced inhibition of elongation of Avena coleoptile tissues. The isomers of 4-hydroxyproline differ in their effectiveness; only the L isomers are growth inhibitors with the cis form (allohydroxyproline) being more effective than the trans form (hydroxyproline). Hydroxyproline differs from other amino acid antagonists and protein synthesis inhibitors...

Inhibition of formation of protein-bound hydroxyproline by free hydroxyproline in Avena coleoptiles.

Free hydroxyproline inhibits the formation of protein-bound hydroxyproline from proline to a considerably greater extent than it does the incorporation of proline into protein of auxin-treated Avena coleoptiles. This inhibition is greater in the wall than in the cytoplasmic fraction. In the absence of auxin, free hydroxyproline exerts little or no inhibition of hydroxyproline formation. Further...

Auxin-induced growth of Avena coleoptiles involves two mechanisms with different pH optima.

Although rapid auxin-induced growth of coleoptile sections can persist for at least 18 hours, acid-induced growth lasts for a much shorter period of time. Three theories have been proposed to explain this difference in persistence. To distinguish between these theories, the pH dependence for auxin-induced growth of oat (Avena sativa L.) coleoptiles has been determined early and late in the el...

Rapid Inhibition of Auxin-induced Elongation of Avena Coleoptile Segments by Cordycepin.

The effects of cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), an RNA synthesis inhibitor, on auxin-induced elongation in Avena coleoptile segments were studied with a position-sensing transducer. Cordycepin rapidly inhibited auxin-stimulated growth in the coleoptile segments whether added before, at the same time as, or after, the 2 mum auxin treatment. Midcourse additions of 100, 50, and 25 mug/ml cordycepin...

Hydroxyproline-Induced Inhibition of Elongation of Avena Coleoptiles1'

Summa(iry. Hlydroxy-L-proline-induced inhiibition of elongationi of Aven(a coleoptile segments was measuired in water and in indole-3-acetic aci(l. This inhibition was completely reversed by L-proline. Time-sequence experiments revealed that some time had to elapse, or some eloingationi had to occur, prior to the onset of hydroxyproline inhibition. The presence of sucrose supported the rate of ...
