Peptide growth factors were isolated from conditioned medium derived from rice (Oryza sativa L.) suspension cultures and identified to be a sulfated pentapeptide [H-Tyr(SO3H)-Ile-Tyr(SO3H)-Thr-Gln-OH] and its C-terminal-truncated tetrapeptide [H-Tyr(SO3H)-Ile-Tyr(SO3H)-Thr-OH]. These structures were identical to the phytosulfokines originally found in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) mesophyll cultures. The pentapeptide [phytosulfokine-alpha (PSK-alpha)] very strongly stimulated colony formation of rice protoplasts at concentrations above 10(-8) M, indicating a similar mode of action in rice of phytosulfokines. Binding assays using 35S-labeled PSK-alpha demonstrated the existence of both high- and low-affinity specific saturable binding sites on the surface of rice cells in suspension. Analysis of [35S]PSK-alpha binding in differential centrifugation fractions suggested association of the binding with a plasma membrane-enriched fraction. The apparent Kd values for [35S]PSK-alpha binding were found to be 1 x 10(-9) M for the high-affinity type and 1 x 10(-7) M for the low-affinity type, with maximal numbers of binding sites of 1 x 10(4) sites per cell and 1 x 10(5) sites per cell, respectively. Competition studies with [35S]PSK-alpha and several synthetic PSK-alpha analogs demonstrated that only peptides that possesses mitogenic activity can effectively displace the radioligand. These results suggest that a signal transduction pathway mediated by peptide factors is involved in plant cell proliferation. |
