Transmembrane ferricyanide reduction in carrot cells.

R Barr, T A Craig, F L Crane

    Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
    |January 10, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Carrot cells reduce ferricyanide via a plasma membrane redox system. This enzymatic process, crucial for plant cell function, is inhibited by glycolysis inhibitors and membrane-modifying agents.

    Area of Science:

    • Plant Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry
    • Membrane Transport

    Background:

    • Plant cells possess mechanisms for electron transport across the plasma membrane.
    • Understanding these systems is key to elucidating cellular respiration and signaling pathways.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the enzymatic nature and characteristics of transmembrane ferricyanide reduction in carrot cells.
    • To identify factors influencing this redox activity.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessing ferricyanide reduction under varying pH and ionic conditions.
    • Utilizing mitochondrial and glycolysis inhibitors to probe the enzymatic pathway.
    • Employing membrane-modifying agents to assess plasma membrane involvement.

    Main Results:

    • Optimal ferricyanide reduction occurs at pH 7.0-7.5 with specific salt concentrations.
    • The process is enzymatic, independent of phenolic secretion, and not significantly affected by mitochondrial inhibitors.
    • Glycolysis inhibitors reduced activity by ~50%, suggesting NADH involvement.
    • p-diazoniumbenzenesulfonic acid inhibited reduction by >90%.

    Conclusions:

    • Carrot cells possess a transplasma membrane redox system.
    • This system is enzymatic and linked to intracellular NADH levels.
    • The plasma membrane plays a direct role in mediating this electron transport.
