The role of Ca2+ and protein phosphorylation in the transduction of the ethylene signal resulting in induction of 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) oxidase has been studied in peas (Pisum sativum L.) by a pharmacological approach. 2,5-Norbornadiene (NBD) and aminoethoxy-vinylglycine (AVG) reduced the basal level of ACC oxidase transcript and its enzyme activity. Only NBD was shown to inhibit the ethylene response, the accumulation of ACC oxidase transcript and the stimulation of its enzyme activity. Ethylene influenced 45Ca2+ influx into the segment tissues from pea epicotyls, and ethylene glycol-bis(rß-aminoethyl ether)N,N,N'N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), a Ca2+ chelator, inhibited the ethylene response. Ca2+ depletion by pre-treatment with EGTA also blocked the ethylene response, which almost completely recovered when Ca2+ was added exogenously after Ca2+ depletion. Ca2+ channel blockers, verapamil, and LaCl3, used to certify the role of extracellular Ca2+, all inhibited the ethylene response. A protein kinase inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), and protein phosphatase inhibitors, vanadate and okadaic acid, also inhibited the ethylene response. The results of the present study suggest that Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space, protein phosphorylation, and dephosphorylation are required for the induction of ACC oxidase by ethylene.
