The electromagnetic field (EMF) is newly considered as an exogenous environmental stimulus that is closely related to ion transportation on the cellular membrane, maintaining the internal ionic homeostasis. Cation transports of Ca and other metal ions, Cd, Zn, and Mnwere studied in terms of the external Ca stress, [Ca], and exposure to the physical EMF. A specific yeast strain K667 was used for controlling CAX5 (cation/H exchanger) expression. Culture samples were exposed to 60 Hz, 0.1 mT sinusoidal or square magnetics waves, and intracellular cations of each sample were measured and analyzed. AtCAX5 transformant yeast grew normally under the metallic stress. However, the growth of the control group was significantly inhibited under the same cation concentration; 60 Hz and 0.1 mT magnetic field enhanced intracellular cation concentrations significantly as exposure time increased both in the AtCAX5 transformed yeast and in the control group. However, the AtCAX5-transformed yeast showed higher concentration of the intracellular cations than the control group under the same exposure EMF. AtCAX5-transformed yeasts displayed an increment in [Ca], [K], [Na], and [Zn] concentration under the presence of both sinusoidal and square-waved EMF stresses compared to the control group, which shows that AtCAX5 expressed in the vacuole play an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of intracellular cations. These findings could be utilized in the cultivation of the crops which were resistant to excessive exogenous ions or in the production of biomass containing a large proportion of ions for nutritional food or in the bioremediation process in metal-polluted environments.
电磁场(EMF)最近被视为一种外源性环境刺激,与细胞膜上的离子运输密切相关,维持着内部离子稳态。研究了在外部钙胁迫、[Ca]以及暴露于物理电磁场的情况下,Ca和其他金属离子(Cd、Zn和Mn)的阳离子运输。使用特定的酵母菌株K667来控制CAX5(阳离子/质子交换器)的表达。将培养样品暴露于60Hz、0.1mT的正弦或方波磁场中,并对每个样品的细胞内阳离子进行测量和分析。AtCAX5转化酵母在金属胁迫下正常生长。然而,在相同阳离子浓度下,对照组的生长受到显著抑制;在AtCAX5转化酵母和对照组中,随着暴露时间的增加,60Hz和0.1mT的磁场均显著提高了细胞内阳离子浓度。然而,在相同的暴露电磁场下,AtCAX5转化酵母的细胞内阳离子浓度高于对照组。与对照组相比,在正弦和方波电磁场胁迫下,AtCAX5转化酵母的[Ca]、[K]、[Na]和[Zn]浓度均有所增加,这表明液泡中表达的AtCAX5在维持细胞内阳离子稳态中起重要作用。这些发现可用于培育抗过量外源离子的作物,或用于生产富含大量离子的生物质以作为营养食品,或用于金属污染环境的生物修复过程。
