Abstract
Etiolated wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Mercia) leaf protoplasts respond to brief red-light irradiation by increasing in volume over a 10-min incubation period (M.E. Bossen, H.A. Dassen, R.E. Kendrick, W.J. Vredenberg [1988] Planta 174: 94-100). When the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-3 was incorporated into these protoplasts, red-light irradiation initiated calcium transients lasting about 2 min (P.S. Shacklock, N.D. Read, A.J. Trewavas [1992] Nature 358: 153-155). Release of calcium in the protoplasts by photolysis of incorporated 1-{2-amino-5-[1-hydroxy-1-(2-nitro-4, 5-methylenedioxyphenyl)-methyl]-phenoxy}-2-(2[prime]-amino-5[prime]-methylp henoxy)-ethane-N,N, N[prime],N[prime] -tetraccetic acid, tetrasodium salt (caged calcium) or caged inositol trisphosphate frequently induced transient increases in intracellular calcium levels, although the kinetics of these changes showed variation between experiments. Upon exposure to red light, a pronounced increase in the phosphorylation of a 70-kD and to a lesser extent a 60-kD peptide was observed, commencing within 15 s and continuing for up to 2 min. Simultaneous far-red and red irradiation attenuated the response. Upon release of incorporated caged calcium by cage photolysis, the labeling of these two peptides was greatly increased. When incorporated caged inositol trisphosphate was photolyzed, only the labeling of the 70-kD peptide was enhanced. Phosphorylation of the 70-kD peptide was also increased when extracellular calcium was elevated, but it decreased with increasing extracellular EGTA. These data thus provide direct evidence for the operation of an in vivo transduction sequence involving red light-dependent, calcium-sensitive protein phosphorylation.
