Salicylic acid induces extracellular superoxide generation followed by an increase in cytosolic calcium ion in tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum] suspension culture: The earliest events in salicylic acid signal transduction
Addition of salicylic acid (SA) to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension culture immediately induced a rapid and transient generation of superoxide anion (O2(-)), followed by a transient increase in cytosolic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca(2+)]c). The level of SA-induced O2(-) was lowered by t...

Summary: | Addition of salicylic acid (SA) to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension culture immediately induced a rapid and transient generation of superoxide anion (O2(-)), followed by a transient increase in cytosolic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca(2+)]c). The level of SA-induced O2(-) was lowered by treatment with several scavengers of active oxygen species and a peroxidase inhibitor, but not with an NADPH oxidase inhibitor. The Sa-induced [Ca(2+)]c, elevation was also lowered by inhibitors which effectively lowered the O2(-) level. Inhibition of [Ca(2+)]c elevation by Ca(2+) channel blockers and a Ca(2+) chelator indicated that extracellular Ca(2+) was responsible for the increased [Ca(2+)]c. Among the several SA analogs, only compounds that actively induced the O2(-) generation also elevated [Ca(2+)]c. In addition, the inhibitory effects of SA analogs on catalase activity correlated well with their effects on the O2(-) generation and the [Ca(2+)]c elevation. SA-dependent O2(-) generation was shown to occur extracellularly, requiring both H2O2 and at least on e proteinaceous factor excreted from the cells. This factor was determined to be a salicylhydroxamic acid-sensitive extracellular guaiacol-utilizing peroxidase |
