1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a biosynthetic precursor of ethylene. The movement of ACC across the plasma membrane (PM) has been implicated in various physiological contexts during environmental adaptation and differentiation in higher plants. A PM-localized transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana, LYSINE HISTIDINE TRANSPORTER1 (LHT1) participates in the uptake of ACC, implicating a class of amino-acid transporters in the transport of ACC. Here, we describe the method for assaying uptake of ACC into the plant cells using an Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplast system.
1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸(ACC)是乙烯的生物合成前体。在高等植物的环境适应和分化过程中,ACC跨质膜(PM)的转运参与了多种生理过程。拟南芥中一种定位于质膜的转运蛋白,赖氨酸组氨酸转运蛋白1(LHT1)参与了ACC的摄取,这表明一类氨基酸转运蛋白参与了ACC的转运。在这里,我们描述了一种使用拟南芥叶肉原生质体系统测定ACC进入植物细胞摄取量的方法。
