چکیده

7-Dehydrobrefeldin A (7-oxo-BFA) is a brefeldin A (BFA) analog that, like BFA, is a potent phytotoxin of Alternaria carthami, a fungal pathogen of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) plants. Both BFA and 7-oxo-BFA have been shown to be causal agents of the leaf spot disease of these plants. We have investigated the effects of 7-oxo-BFA on the secretion and the structure of the Golgi stacks of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) suspension-cultured cells to determine whether 7-oxo-BFA affects these cells in the same manner as BFA. When applied at 10 micrograms/mL for 1 h, 7-oxo-BFA inhibits secretion of proteins by approximately 80%, the same value obtained for BFA. However, electron micrographs of high-pressure frozen/freeze-substituted cells demonstrated that 7-oxo-BFA is a more potent disrupter of the Golgi stacks of sycamore maple cells than BFA. In cells treated for 1 h with 10 micrograms/mL 7-oxo-BFA, very few Golgi stacks can be discerned. Most of those that are left consist of fewer than three cisternae, all of which stain like trans-Golgi cisternae. They are surrounded by clusters of large (150-300 nm in diameter), darkly staining vesicles that are embedded in a fine-filamentous, ribosome-excluding matrix. Similarly sized and stained vesicles are seen budding from the rims of the residual trans-Golgi cisternae. Both the large vesicles and the residual Golgi stack buds stain with anti-xyloglucan polysaccharide antibodies. Recovery of Golgi stacks after removal of 7-oxo-BFA from 1-h-treated cells takes 2 to 6 h, compared with 1 to 2 h for cells treated with BFA. In contrast to 7-oxo-BFA, the BFA breakdown product BFA acid had no effect either on secretion or on the secretory apparatus. This is the first report, to our knowledge of a BFA analog inhibiting secretion in a eukaryotic cell system.

cis-Golgi proteins accumulate near the ER exit sites and act as the scaffold for Golgi regeneration after brefeldin A treatment in tobacco BY-2 cells

The Golgi apparatus forms stacks of cisternae in many eukaryotic cells. However, little is known about how such a stacked structure is formed and maintained. To address this question, plant cells provide a system suitable for live-imaging approaches because individual Golgi stacks are well separated in the cytoplasm. We established tobacco BY-2 cell lines expressing multiple Golgi markers tagge...

Effect of brefeldin A on the structure of the Golgi apparatus and on the synthesis and secretion of proteins and polysaccharides in sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) suspension-cultured cells.

Brefeldin A (BFA), a specific inhibitor of Golgi-mediated secretion in animal cells, has been used to study the organization of the secretory pathway and the function of the Golgi apparatus in plant cells. To this end, we have employed a combination of electron microscopical, immunocytochemical, and biochemical techniques to investigate the effects of this drug on the architecture of the Golgi ...

p28, a novel ERGIC/cis Golgi protein, required for Golgi ribbon formation.

The mammalian Golgi apparatus consists of individual cisternae that are stacked in a polarized manner to form the compact zones of the Golgi. Several stacks are linked to form a ribbon via dynamic lateral bridges. The determinants required for maintaining the characteristic Golgi structure are incompletely understood. Here, we have characterized p28, a new gamma-subfamily member of p24 membrane...

Brefeldin A Effects in Plants (Are Different Golgi Responses Caused by Different Sites of Action?).

During the past decade, BFA, a lipophilic funga1 toxin, has become a major tool of cell biologists interested in studying vesicle-mediated trafficking in animal and plant cells. Its main attractions include its ability to block secretion and to induce profound morphological changes in the organelles of the secretory and endocytic pathways in a totally reversible manner. In the plant literature,...

Poliovirus infection and expression of the poliovirus protein 2B provoke the disassembly of the Golgi complex, the organelle target for the antipoliovirus drug Ro-090179.

Infection of Vero cells with poliovirus results in complete disassembly of the Golgi complex. Milestones of the process of disassembly are the release to the cytosol of the beta-COP bound to Golgi membranes, the disruption of the cis-Golgi network into fragments scattered throughout the cytoplasm, and the disassembly of the stacked cisternae by a process mediated by long tubular structures. Tra...
