Intracellular location of carbonate dehydratase (carbonic anhydrase) in leaf tissue.

چکیده

Two proteins which have carbonate dehydratase (carbonic anhydrase, EC 4.2.1.1) activity were shown to be in the chloroplasts and in the cytosol of leaves of Brassica chinensis, Spinacia oleracea, and in variegated leaves of Tradescantia albiflora and Hedera canariensis. The chloroplastic enzyme is smaller than the one in the cytosol, as it runs farther on gradient polyacrylamide gels. It was separated from the other by isolation of chloroplasts of Brassica and Spinacia on sucrose density gradients; approximately half of the total activity was in the chloroplasts.

Identification of Intracellular Carbonic Anhydrase in Chiamydomonas reinhardtii which Is Distinct from the Periplasmic Form of the Enzyme 1

A physiologically significant level of intracellular carbonic anhydrase has been idenfified in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii after lysis of the cell wall-less mutant, cw15, and two intracellular polypeptides have been identified which bind to anti-carbonic anhydrase antisera. The susceptibility of the intracellular activity to sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is more than three orders-of-m...

Hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) red cell membrane exhibits no bicarbonate permeability as detected by (18)O exchange.

The bicarbonate permeability of the plasma membrane of intact hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) red blood cells and the intracellular carbonic anhydrase activity of these cells were determined by applying the (18)O exchange reaction using a special mass spectrometric technique. When the macromolecular carbonic anhydrase inhibitor Prontosil-Dextran was used to suppress any extracellular carbonic anhydr...

Low bundle sheath carbonic anhydrase is apparently essential for effective c(4) pathway operation.

Bundle sheath cells from leaves of a variety of C(4) species contained little or no carbonic anhydrase activity. The proportion of total leaf carbonic anhydrase in extracts of bundle sheath cells closely reflected the apparent mesophyll cell contamination of bundle sheath cell extracts as measured by the proportion of the mesophyll cell marker enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and pyruvat...

A physiological measure of carbonic anhydrase in Müller cells.

Carbonic anhydrase activity was characterized in freshly dissociated Müller cells of the salamander retina. Intracellular pH was monitored using ratio imaging of the indicator dye BCECF as extracellular PCO2 was varied. The extracellular solution was switched rapidly (141 ms rise time) from a HEPES buffered to a CO2-HCO3- buffered solution (both pH 7.4). Introduction of CO2-HCO3- produced a rap...

Temperature dependence of photosynthesis in cotton.

Cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L., var. Deltapine Smooth Leaf) were grown under controlled environmental conditions over a range of day/night temperatures from 20/15 to 40/35 C. Their photosynthetic characteristics were then measured over a comparable temperature range. Net photosynthesis tended stongly to be greatest, and intracellular resistance to CO(2) transport to be lowest, when the me...
