Phosphatidylinositol metabolism is enhanced in the cells of Candida tropicalis Pk 233 at an early stage of filamentous growth caused by ethanol, and myo-inositol prevents the ethanol-induced changes in the metabolism and morphology [Uejima et al. (1987) FEBS Lett. 214, 127-129]. The accumulation of cAMP and an increase in adenylate cyclase activity were observed in the cells grown with ethanol to the mid-log phase. Myo-inositol abolished these effects of ethanol also. The activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase was affected by neither ethanol nor myo-inositol. These results suggest that the inositol phospholipid-linked and cAMP-linked signaling pathways may be involved in the mechanism of ethanol-induced filamentous growth of this yeast and also that myo-inositol would affect morphogenesis by controlling these pathways.
在热带假丝酵母Pk 233细胞中,乙醇诱导丝状生长的早期阶段磷脂酰肌醇代谢增强,而肌醇可阻止乙醇诱导的代谢和形态变化[上岛等人(1987年)《欧洲生物化学学会联合会快报》214, 127 - 129]。在乙醇培养至对数中期的细胞中观察到cAMP的积累和腺苷酸环化酶活性的增加。肌醇也消除了乙醇的这些作用。cAMP磷酸二酯酶的活性既不受乙醇影响,也不受肌醇影响。这些结果表明,肌醇磷脂连接和cAMP连接的信号通路可能参与了乙醇诱导该酵母丝状生长的机制,并且肌醇可能通过控制这些通路影响形态发生。
