Abstract
ABSTRACT NAD kinase is thought to play an important role in the plant cellular responses to biotic and abiotic stress as one of the isoforms of the enzyme is activated by the Ca 2 + –calmodulin (CaM) complex. NAD kinase activity was measured after short‐term NaCl stress applied to isolated cells from Lycopersicon esculentum , var. Volgogradskij (NaCl‐sensitive tomato) and L. pimpinellifolium , acc. PE2 (NaCl‐tolerant species). NAD kinase activity remained constant in the sensitive species, whereas a sharp decrease was observed in the tolerant one. After salt treatment, an induction of the calmodulin gene(s) was observed in the two species, together with a 30–50% decrease in ‘active’ CaM content, i.e. CaM able to activate purified NAD kinase, in L. pimpinellifolium . The decrease in NAD kinase activity could not, however, be fully explained by this decrease in active CaM content. A similar decrease in NAD kinase activity was also recorded with other ionic stresses and exposure to high temperatures, but not in the case of drought, exposure to low temperatures, hormonal (indole‐3‐acetic acid and abscisic acid) or H 2 O 2 treatments. External Ca 2 + certainly plays a role in the biochemical mechanism(s) leading to NAD kinase inhibition, while no role could be shown for intracellular Ca 2 + . In addition, after salt stress, a modification of the redox state of NAD kinase seems to be responsible for the inhibition of the enzyme.
