Ion channels are key participants in physiological processes of plant cells. Here, we report the first characterization of a high conductance, Cl(-)-permeable channel, present in enriched fractions of plasma membranes of bean root cells. The Cl(-) channel was incorporated into planar lipid bilayers and its activity was recorded under voltage clamp conditions. The channel is voltage-dependent, excludes the passage of cations (K(+), Na(+), and Ca(2+)), and is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of Zn(2+). The Cl(-) conductance here characterized represents a previously undescribed channel of plant cells.
离子通道是植物细胞生理过程中的关键参与者。在此,我们报道了一种高电导、Cl(-) 通透通道的首次特性描述,该通道存在于菜豆根细胞质膜的富集组分中。Cl(-) 通道被整合到平面脂双层中,并在电压钳制条件下记录其活性。该通道具有电压依赖性,排除阳离子(K(+)、Na(+) 和 Ca(2+))的通过,并且受到微摩尔浓度的 Zn(2+) 的抑制。这里所描述的 Cl(-) 电导代表了植物细胞中一种先前未被描述的通道。
