Evidence for the Involvement of Phospholipase C in the Anaerobic Signal Transduction
Istituto Biosintesi Vegetali, CNR, Via Bassini 15, I-20133 Milano, Italy
Pre-treatment of rice roots for 2 h
in aerobic conditions with two phospholipase C (PLC) antagonists, neomycin
and compound 48/80 (C48/80), inhibited accumulation of
-aminobutyric acid and increased the loss of K+ in the
medium during 3 h of anoxia. The presence of Ca2+ and
A23187 (Ca2+ ionophore) nullified the effect of PLC
inhibitors. Pre-treatment of rice roots with neomycin and C48/80
abolished the anaerobic increase in the concentration of the PLC product
inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate. Stimulation of the anaerobic signal
transduction pathway with aluminium fluoride (G protein activator) was
attenuated by PLC inhibitors. These findings are consistent with the
participation of PLC in the anaerobic response.
