摘要
Accumulation of proline in response to toxic heavy metal exposure seems to be wide-spread among plants. To elucidate the role for proline in plant responses to heavy metal stress, we studied the effect of proline on Cd-induced and Zn-induced inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH; EC 1.1.1.49) and nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.2) in vitro. Proline appeared to protect both enzymes against Zn and, though less effectively, against Cd. Measurements with a Cd2+-specific electrode strongly suggested that this protection was based on a reduction of the free metal ion activity in the assay buffer, due to the formation of metal-proline complexes. There were no indications of any significant role for proline-water or proline-protein interactions. The significance of these findings with regard to heavy metal-induced proline accumulation in viva is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
