摘要
Plant vacuolar invertase is implicated in the rapid regulation of cellular energy demand by environmental changes. In etiolated mungbean hypocotyl segments, a source-limited system, the soluble acid invertase activity and transcript level of a vacuolar invertase gene, Vr-AI1 was rapidly down regulated when hypocotyls were excised from the intact seedlings. Kinetic data show that the enzyme activity dropped to 50% of the initial level within 3 h and the steady state level of Vr-AI1 mRNA was sharply decreased as well. Exogenous supply of sucrose suppressed the decrease in both enzyme activity and the transcript level. Treatment with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and/or light also retarded the speed of down-regulation. Studies with alpha-amanitin, an inhibitor of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II showed that the Vr-AI1 mRNA was more stable in the presence of IAA. Cycloheximide treatment also increased the transcript level, raising the possibility that the Vr-AI1 gene is controlled by mRNA stability. There was a discrepancy that the Vr-AI1 mRNA disappeared much earlier than the enzyme activity. In the light condition, moreover, the decay kinetics and IAA dose-response curve for the enzyme activity was markedly different from those for the Vr-AI1 mRNA level. Our results imply that multiple distinct mechanisms are involved in the regulation of soluble acid invertase activity by auxin and light.
