Such internal and external signaling agents typically bring about their effects by means of sequences of biochemical reactions, called signal transduction pathways. Dozens of signals involved in the signal transduction of plant cells have been found. Signal transduction pathway can be distinguished into four phases; which are (1) perception of a signal by a receptor. (2) trans-membrane signal transduction. (3) Further transduction and amplification inside cells, (4) reversible protein phosphorylation (figure7.1). Many physiological processes within cells, among cells, and throughout the plant interact with each other through signal transduction network. Genetic and epigenetic information systems 二 遗传信息系统和表观遗传信息系统 虽然信号传递引起的生长或代谢的改变是多方面的,包括改变离子流,调 节代谢途径,调节基因表达和改变细胞骨架。但是大多数信号都是通过信 号传递途径引起基因转录的激活或抑制来实现对基因表达的调控。植物细 胞含有遗传和表观遗传两套信息系统(图 7-2)。遗传信息系统的体现顺序是 DNA→ RNA→ 蛋白质→ 表现型, 这种因果顺序意味着结果的固定性和简 单性。在这种情况下,某个基因的表达和它所控制的表现型之间有一个直 接的关系。这些基因的表达受环境因素的影响很小,有些基因甚至完全不 受影响。如控制花的颜色和种子形态的基因,在植物生长发育过程中,随 环境条件的变化其表达不会发生变化。而受表观遗传信息系统调控的基因, 如许多控制生物量的合成,生长周期,分枝,光合产物在营养结构和生殖 结构间的分配,对胁迫的反应等表型性状的基因,其表达在很大程度上受 植物生长过程的环境条件而改变。这些表观遗传性状是相互作用的基因产 物复杂的网络联系与信号传递网络交织在一起产生的最终结果。由这些基 因决定的性状随环境的改变而变化。 The altered growth and metabolism that signal transduction result in include change in ion flux, regulation of metabolism, regulation of gene expression and change in
cytoskeleton, but most signals appear to induce altered gene expression through activation or repression of gene transcription. Plant cells contain two information systems(figure 7-2). The genetic information system flow in plant cells, DNA RNA protein phenotype, implies a certain rigidity and simplicity in result. In these cases, a direct relationship exists between the expression of a single gene and the phenotypic character it specifies, such that environmental variation has little impact on expression of the gene. Few genes, however, are unaffected by environmental factors. For example, the genes that specify flower color or seed morphology are invariant in expression under many different conditions of growth and development. In the epigenetic information system, the expression of many genes, forinstance, genes that control important phenotypic characteristics including production of biomass, duration of growth, branching, and responses to stress, are strongly modified by the environment in which the plant grows. a phenotypic character results from complex interactions involving one or more genes and environmental influences that impact signal transduction networks. These characters vary with the plants environment 二植物对信号刺激的反应 植物对刺激的反应根据植物发育阶段,之前所经历的环境条件,刺激发生的季节 和时间等的不同而变化。成熟细胞产生的反应可能是生理和生化的,而生长中的 细胞产生的反应可能是形态上和发育上的。植物对信号刺激的反应有的很快,有 的比较慢。有些反应,如触动含羞草引起叶片合拢,只需几秒钟,而有些通过 基因表达的改变引起形态和发育变化的反应需要几天时间才能发生。快反应和慢 反应都是通过基本的信号网络传递机制实现,都是信号的感受与传递的结果。有 些反应是通过多条信号传递途径相连形成最终的生理变化。例如:干旱引起植物 根部的水分胁迫,诱导编码植物激素脱落酸(ABA)合成途径所需酶的基因的激 活。ABA然后引发一连串的信号传递活动最终导致保卫细胞中的离子外流,导致 保卫细胞的关闭。降低蒸腾保存水分 The signals impact the cell at different sites and are perceived by different receptors Plant responses to stimulus are modulated by developmental age, previous environmental experience, and internal clocks that specify the time of year and the time of day. For mature plant cells, the response can be physiological and biochemical for growing cells, it can be morphological and developmental. The response to signal stimulus can be very quick or slow. Some responses, e.g., touch-induced leaflet drop of Mimosa, occur in seconds. Others, such as shifts in gene expression that changes morphology and development, may take days. Both fast and slow responses use the same basic transduction network machinery, and both are downstream results of a perceived stimulus. Several signal transduction pathways can be linked to bring about a final physiological change. For instance, drought imposes water stress on the roots of a plant, inducing the activation of genes encoding enzymes that synthesize the plant hormone abscisic acid(ABA). ABa then initiates a cascade of events that eventually results in the efflux of ions from the guard cells, thereby causing stomatal closure to minimize transpiration and conserve water

第二节受体感受信号 Section 2 perception of signals by receptors 1.受体 启动信号传递,信号首先要被受体识别。受体是指在位于细胞质膜上或细胞质内 能识别胞内或胞外信号物质,并引发胞内变化的特殊分子。大多数已知的受体镶 嵌于质膜上,有些存在于细胞质和其他细胞器上(图7-3)。大多数已知的受体是 蛋白质。在动物细胞中至少已发现三种类型的受体,分别是:G蛋白结合受体, 类受体蛋白激酶和离子通道受体。这三类受体是否都存在于植物细胞中还不清 楚。大多数受体是蛋白质,受体一般应符合以下几个特点:1.配体与受体的结合 是特异的,配体只与其自身受体的特异位点结合。2.受体与配体有较高的亲和 力。这种结合必须有足够的强度并维持一定的时间保证下游反应的激活。3.受体 与配体的结合是可逆的,使得系统能根据配体浓度的变化做出反应 Receptors To initiate transduction, a signal must first be sensed by a receptor. A receptor is a molecule found on the cell surface or inside of a cell, which receives sp ecific signals from neighboring cells or the environment, and trigger intracellula r changes. Most known receptorsare embedded in the plasma membrane, some are located in the cytosol or other cellular compartments (figure 7-3). At lea st three different classes of cell surface receptors have been detected in animal S, which are G-protein-linked receptor; receptor-like protein kinases and ion cha nnels; but whether all three exist in plants is still uncertain. Generally, the foll owing set of criteria need to be fulfilled to identify a molecule as a receptor (1)The binding of ligands to their receptor should be specific, ligands only bi ceptor should be of relatively high affinity, and of sufficient strength so that th e associated downstream processes can be activated.

Signals that convey information to plants can be classified into external signals and internal signals based on their origins. Signals can also be grouped into physical signals and chemical signals based on their properties. Physical signals are in the form of light, gravity, turgor, mechanical tensions, wind, heat, cold and freezing. Chemical signals include
mineral nutrients, organic metabolites, growth regulators and hormones. Signals can vary in quality and quantity from minute to minute. Some of the signals are carried by xylem and phloemthe circulatory system, which can accommodate very large and rapid fluxes. Once a cell picks up a chemical or physical signal, it must transmit this information from the surface to the interior parts of the cell 第三节跨膜信号传递 Transmembrane signal transduction G-蛋白介导跨膜信号传递的过程 信号分子与它相应的受体结合只是信号传递的第一步。信息必须通过跨膜传递到 达细胞内部。我们以G-蛋白参与信号传递为例来说明信号是如何实现跨膜传递 的。G-蛋白是GTP水解酶大家族的一个亚家族,异源三聚体G蛋白含有三种亚基 (α、β、γ)。在信号的跨膜传递过程中,G-蛋白和它所结合GTP进行着周期性 的变化。G-蛋白处于非活化状态时,与GDP结合;处于活化状态时,与GTP结合。 异源三体G蛋白以非活化状态位于膜内侧靠近受体处,三个亚基结合在一起。当 某种刺激信号与其膜上的特异受体结合后,激活的受体将信号传递给G蛋白,G 蛋白的α亚基结合GTP替换原来的GDP。活化的a亚基与β和γ亚基复合体分离 继而触发效应器,把胞外信号转换成胞内信号。α亚基与效应器相互作用后即水 解它所结合的GTP从而转变为非活性状态,重新与与β和γ亚基结合。信号在G 蛋白的循环过程得以放大,因为一个活化的G-蛋白能激活无数个效应器。 Process of G-protein mediated transmembrane signal transduction The binding of a signal to its cognate receptor is only the beginning of the signaling process. The information has to be conveyed across the plasma membrane to get inside the cell. We will take the involvement of G-protein in signal transduction pathway as an example to explain the transmembrane transduction processes G-proteins are a special subset of a GTPase superfamily. Hetertrimeric G-proteins are composed of three subunits(a, B and y). During the process of transmembrane signal transduction, heterotrimeric G-proteins undergo a modified cycle with GTP G-protein binds GDP when it is inactive, when active, it binds GTP. The G protein normally lies near the receptor in an inactive state with 3 subunits bound together When the receptor gets activated by ligand binding, it will rapidly bind to the g protein, causes the release of GDP from the a-subunit and its replacement by GTP Once this happens, the G-protein loses affinity for the receptor, dissociates from it, the activated a-subunit also dissociate from B-and y-subunits of the G-protein, and moves over and interact with its target protein, the information from outside a cell is thus conveyed into the cell. After encounter with its target protein, the alpha subunit of the G protein will hydrolyze its bound GTP, thereby reverting to an inactive state. It will then rejoin the beta and gamma subunits.

G-蛋白在植物细胞信号传递中的作用 植物G蛋白的研究始于20世纪80年代。实验数据显示G-蛋白参与蓝光,红光,生
长素,赤霉素等的信号转导。例如,已发现G蛋白激动剂 GT PYS在保卫细胞 中有降低钾离子流入细胞的功能。唯一已知在植物中存在的α亚基基因在处于分 裂时期的细胞中表达最强,该基因的蛋白质产物似乎跟质膜和内质网相连。目前 已从多种植物中分离得到G蛋白α、β、Y亚基的cDNA或基因。很多研究结果表 明G蛋白作为功能分子参与植物细胞跨膜离子运输、气孔运动、植物形态建成等 生理活动的信号转导 The studies on plant G-protein started in the late 1980s. There are evidences suggesting the involvement of G-proteins in the transduction of blue light, red light auxin, and gibberellin signals. For example, GTPyS was found to reduce inward K+ current in guard cells. The only G-protein a-subunit known in plants is expressed most strongly in dividing cells. The encoded protein appears to be attached to the plasma membrane and the er. The cDNAs or genes for all a, B, and y subunits of G-protein have been isolated from many plant species. Research results have revealed that the g proteins are functional molecules participating in the signal transduction of many plant physiological events, e. g. transmembrane ion transportation, stomatal aperture regulation, and morphogenesis 第四节胞内信号的转导 Section 4 transduction of signals inside cells 第二信使系统 1.第二信使的概念。如果将胞外各种刺激信号作为细胞信号传导过程中的初级信 号或第一信使,那么则可以把由胞外刺激信号激活或抑制的、具有生理调节活性 的细胞内因子称细胞信号传导过程中的第二信使( second messenger)。大部分的第 二信使都是小分子,因而可以在细胞质内迅速扩散。第二信使有多个下游靶物, 所以可以将信号放大。在已经发现的众多第二信使中,对Ca2+,DAG,IP3, cAMP等的研究较为深入 Second messenger If the extracellular signaling molecular (environmental and intercellular signals) in the transmission of biological information are termed as"primary messengers"or"first messengers', molecule inside cells, that are activated or repressed by external signals and have physiological regulation activities, can be called second messengers of signal transduction pathway. Many second messenger molecules are small and therefore diffuse rapidly through the cytoplasm, enabling information to move quickl throughout the cell. In addition, second messengers can have multiple downstream targets, thereby expanding the scope of signal transmission. A large number of second messenger molecules have been characterized, the well studied second messengers include calcium ions, Inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate(IP3), diacylglycerol(DAG), and cyclic AMP 2钙信号系统。植物细胞内的游离钙离子是细胞信号转导过程中重要的第二信 使。通过Ca2+进行传导的能引起胞内游离钙离子浓度的变化的胞外刺激信号包 括红光,蓝光、温度、触摸、风、重力、各种植物激素、真菌诱导因子等化学物 质。植物细胞质中Ca2+含量一般在10-7~10-6molL-1,而细胞壁,液泡和内质 网中Ca2+浓度比胞质中的高4-5个数量级。在质膜、液泡膜、内质网膜上都有钙 离子泵和钙离子通道的存在。通过钙离子打开使得胞内钙离子浓度瞬间迅速升

高,细胞质中大量的钙离子结合蛋白得以激活。在植物中已发现多种钙离子结合 蛋白,其中包括钙调素和钙依赖型蛋白激酶。钙离子与钙调蛋白结合后形成的复 合物通过结合并激活它的靶蛋白将信息进行传导。随着钙离子通道的开放,钙离 子沿着电化学梯度迅速内流很快就会耗尽胞内和胞外钙库。为了信号传导的继 续,钙离子的储存必须通过依赖钙离子泵的主动运输重新建立。 Cytosolic calcium, [Ca2+] is one of the most important second messengers in plant cell signal transduction. The plant signals thought to be transduced through [Ca2+ include red light, blue light, temperature, touch, wind, gravity, hormones, fungal elicitors, and mineral nutrition. The resting concentrations of cytosolic Ca2+ is around 10-7-10-6mol L-1. The cell wall, vacuole and rough ER constitute large stores of Ca2+ with concentrations typically four to five orders of magnitude higher than cytosal levels. Calcium channels and calcium pumps embedded in the plasma membrane and membrane of ER and vacuole. Numerous Ca2+-binding proteins in the cytosal are thus activated by temporary increases in intracellular calcium concentration through the opening of these calcium channels. A number of Ca2+- binding proteins have been identified in plants including calmodulin and Ca2+-dependent calmodulin-like domain protein kinases(CDPKs). The Ca2-+/calmodulin complex transduces the Ca2+ signal by binding to and activating target proteins. With the opening of calcium channels, the immediate influx of Ca2+ down its electrochemical gradient can rapidly exhaust extracellular and intracellular stores. Before signal transduction can continue, intracellular stores of calcium must be reestablished through ATP-dependent active transport 叶绿信 ATP CaN+ ATP 冠 ※ H 细质藕 钙调素 钙调素是在动植物细胞中都能表达的钙离子结合蛋白。它能结合和调节很多种不 同的靶蛋白,从而参与多种不同的细胞活动的调节。钙调素有四个钙离子结合位 点。与钙离子结合后,钙调素发生构像改变,使得富含蛋氨酸,亮氨酸,苯丙氨

It can bind to and regulate a number of different protein targets, thereby affecting many different cellular functions. Calmodulin has four Ca2+-binding regions or loops(Fig very hydrophobic patch rich in methionine, leucine, and phenylalanine. Specif e 7-3), On binding Ca2+, calmodulin undergoes a conformation change, exposing egions on target proteins recognize this patch and combine with the calmodulin, resulting in activation of the target proteins. The characterized calmodulin-binding proteins in plants are myosin V, kinesin, NAD+ kinase, glutamate decarboxylase protein kinases, and Ca2+-ATPases. Many of the proteins that CaM binds are unable to bind calcium themselves and as such use Cam as a calcium sensor and signal transducer. The activated target proteins are involved in the regulations of actin filaments formation, cytoplasmic streaming, polarized growth, hormone activation and the cell division, which eventually regulate plant cell growth and development Ca2+-CaM complex, as an intracellular signal, also plays an important role in the regulation of phytochrome-mediated light signal transduction.

所以该系统又称双信号系统。(图7-4) Inositol phospholipids signal system There are three forms of inositol phospholipids in the plant plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol, PI; phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate(PIP)and phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate(PIP2). Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is important in intracellular signaling, in response to extracellular signals, it undergoes rapid turnover and generate two second messengers: inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate(IP3)and diacylglycerol (DAG) IP3 is soluble and diffuses freely into the cytoplasm. As a second messenger, The primary function of IP3 is to mobilize the stores of Ca2+ inside the vacuole and rough er by binding to specific receptors (IP3R) that also act as calcium channels, The binding of ip3 to ip3r releases Ca2+ from the er and vacuole into the normall Ca2+-poor cytoplasm, which then triggers various events of Ca2+ signaling. There are evidences suggesting that IP3 / Ca system is involved in the signal transductions of stomatal aperture closure under the stimuli of drought and ABA, and plant responses to pathogen infections. This signal transduction pathway is called IP3/Ca2+ DAG remains bound to the membrane by its fatty acid"tails"where it recruits and activates protein kinase C DAg typically activates protein kinase C(PkC)by altering its sensitivity to Ca2+ ions. PKC is involved in many signaling events because its target proteins( e. g, G-protein and Phospholipase C)function in the signaling pathways involving cell division and differentiation. This signal transduction pathway is called dAG/PKC pathway During the process of inositol phospholipids signal transduction, signals are transduced to two directions through two signal transduction pathways. Therefore this system is also called double signal system 3环核苷酸信号系统 环腺苷酸作为第二信使在动物和低等真核生物信号传递中的重要作用早已被证实。在动物细 胞中,蛋白激酶A识别环腺苷酸的浓度变化。蛋白激酶A含有两个催化亚基和两个能与环腺 苷酸结合的抑制亚基。环腺苷酸浓度低时,没有与环腺苷酸结合的蛋白激酶A不具有催化活 力。环腺苷酸浓度升髙时,催化亚基释放岀来,使调控糖原和脂肪代谢的酶磷酸化。蛋白激 酶A也能调节转录因子,调控受环腺苷酸调节的基因的表达。 环腺苷酸在植物细胞中的作用一直有争议。硏究报道环腺苷酸在植物细胞中的含量一般都低 于20 pmol/gt鲜重,而在动物细胞中环腺苷酸的含量一般都高于250 pmol/g鲜重。尽管环腺苷 酸含量很低,但植物细胞中还是存在依赖于环腺苷酸的信号传递途经。最有说服力的证据来 自于对蚕豆叶肉细胞原生质体的研究。该研究显示添加细胞内环腺苷酸的量,引起钾离子 外流的增强有剂量依赖性特征,而添加腺苷酸,环鸟苷酸,鸟苷酸不能引起这种反应。非直 接的证据显示这种反应是通过受环腺苷酸调节的蛋白激酶介导的。另外保卫细胞的通道受 依赖于环腺苷酸的蛋白质磷酸化的调控,克隆的植物钾离子通道蛋白基因上也有环腺苷酸 结合位点。也有花粉管的生长受环腺苷酸调控的报道。 Cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)signal system cAMP had been firmly established as an important signaling molecule and second messenger in both animals and lower eukaryotes, In animal cells, cAMP

concentrations are sensed by protein kinase A(PKA), which contains two catalytic subunits and two inhibitory subunits that binds cAMP. Under low levels of cAMP the PKa remains intact and is catalytically inactive. When the concentration of cAMP rises, the catalytic subunit is released and can phosphorylate enzymes that control glycogen and lipid metabolism. PKA also regulates transcription factors, therefore modifying the transcription of cAMP-regulated genes The role of cAMP in plants is still controversial. Reported cAMP levels in plants are typically <20 pmol/g fresh weight, whereas animal values are typically 250 pmol/g wet weight. Despite the low levels of cAMP in plants, plants too have a functional CAMP-dependent signal system. The most convincing data for a specific signaling role for cAMP came from researches on Vicia faba mesophyll protoplasts that revealed that outward K+ current increased in a dose dependent fashion following intracellular application of cAMP-and not AMP, cGMP or GMP-and indirect evidence indicated that this modulation occurred through a cAMP-regulated protein kinase. In addition, the activity of guard cell channels is modified by CAMP-dependent phosphorylation, and cloned plant potassium channel proteins als have a CAMP-binding region.

In another word, internal signals are further transduced through the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of certain proteins Protein kinases catalyze the reversible transfer of phosphate from atP to amino acid side chains on target proteins. Protein kinase activity is counterbalanced by the action of specific protein phosphatases that remove the phosphate from proteins. Phosphorylation is a common post-translational modification of functional proteins in plants. Protein modification may alter physical and chemical properties, folding, conformation distribution, stability, activity and consequently function of the protein. protein kinases could control enzyme activity by direct phosphorylation Kinases can also regulate transcription through phosphorylation of transcription factors, which will lead to physiological responses 蛋白激酶 蛋白激酶是一个重要的大家族,植物中约有3%~4%的基因编码蛋白激酶。数 百种编码不同蛋白激酶的基因已在植物中发现。根据底物特异性,它们可分为丝 氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,酪氨酸激酶和组氨酸激酶。蛋白激酶参与信号传递,其作用 也表现在多个方面,参与包括植物对光、病源菌侵染、生长调节物、温度胁迫
