In plants under hypersaline stress, the main transporter that extrudes sodium ions (Na ) is the Na /H antiporter SOS1. Different from land plants, the intertidal macroalgae, contains an animal-type Na /K -ATPase as well as the SOS1 system. However, the contribution of Na /K -ATPase to the K /Na homeostasis of intertidal macroalgae remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the function of Na /K -ATPase in the response of to salt stress from the perspective of ion transport dynamics. Both the transcript level of and enzyme activity of Na /K -ATPase increased in the early response of thalli to hypersaline stress. Addition of ouabain, an inhibitor of Na /K -ATPase, resulted in Na accumulation in the cells, severe K leakage from the thalli, and then remarkably disturbed the K /Na homeostasis in thalli. This disruption might induce a significant decrease in photosynthesis and a severe oxidative damage in thalli. Accordingly, these results suggested that the important role of Na /K -ATPase in the resistance of intertidal macroalgae to hypersaline stress, and shed light on the diversity of K /Na homeostasis maintenance mechanisms in plants.
在遭受高盐胁迫的植物中,排出钠离子(Na⁺)的主要转运蛋白是Na⁺/H⁺逆向转运蛋白SOS1。与陆地植物不同,潮间带大型海藻除了含有SOS1系统外,还含有一种动物型Na⁺/K⁺-ATP酶。然而,Na⁺/K⁺-ATP酶对潮间带大型海藻K⁺/Na⁺稳态的贡献仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们从离子转移动力学的角度分析了Na⁺/K⁺-ATP酶在大型海藻对盐胁迫响应中的功能。大型海藻叶状体对高盐胁迫的早期响应中,Na⁺/K⁺-ATP酶的转录水平和酶活性均升高。添加Na⁺/K⁺-ATP酶抑制剂哇巴因会导致细胞内Na⁺积累,叶状体中K⁺严重泄漏,进而显著扰乱大型海藻叶状体中的K⁺/Na⁺稳态。这种破坏可能导致光合作用显著下降和叶状体严重氧化损伤。因此,这些结果表明Na⁺/K⁺-ATP酶在潮间带大型海藻对高盐胁迫的抗性中起重要作用,并揭示了植物中K⁺/Na⁺稳态维持机制的多样性。
