| Abstract/Contents: | "A number of treatments were tested for their ability to affect the synthesis of oilbody proteins in microspore-derived embryos of rapeseed (Brassica napus). Synthesis of the oilbody proteins was determined by [35S]methionine incorporation in vivo and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of washed oilbody fractions. Oilbody proteins of approximately 19, 23, and 32 kilodaltons were found to be prominent. These proteins showed differential patterns of regulation. The 19 and 23 kilodalton proteins (oleosins) were greatly enhanced by treatments with abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, and osmotic stress imposed using sorbitol (12.5%). Synthesis of 32 kilodalton protein was inhibited by abscisic acid and by sorbitol (12.5%), but unaffected by jasmonates. The strong promotion of synthesis of the 19 and 23 kilodalton oilbody proteins appeared to be specific as they are not seen with gibberellic acid treatment or with a stress such as heat shock. Time course experiments revealed that the abscisic acid stimulation of oleosin synthesis is quite rapid (less than 2 hours), reaching a maximum at 6 to 8 hours. The response of the oleosins to abscisic acid is found in all stages of embryogenesis, with a major increase in synthetic rates even in globular embryos on abscisic acid treatment. This suggests that these proteins may accumulate much earlier in embryogenesis than has previously been believed. The 32 kilodalton oilbody-associated protein appears different from the oleosins in several ways, including its distinct pattern of regulation and its unique property, among the oilbody proteins, of undergoing phosphorylation." |
