Popis: Microsomal membranes from carrot suspension cells were phosphorylated in vitro with [gamma-32P]ATP. In the presence of submicromolar concentrations of the natural auxin indoleacetic acid (IAA), a rapid, but transient decrease of the [32P] label could be detected in the phospholipid extracts of the membranes. The phytohormone effect was not the result of an inhibition of the lipid phosphorylation reactions, but was caused by a simultaneous release of water-soluble compounds, which, according to their chromatographic properties, were assumed to contain inositol polyphosphates. Although the [32P]-labeled lipids, as well as the inositol polyphosphates, were not identified unequivocally by chemical analysis, these findings point to an auxin-mediated control of a phosphoinositidase C-like reaction similar to the hormone-stimulated phosphoinositide response in animals. Exogenously applied inositol (1,4,5)trisphosphate [(1,4,5)IP3] was found to release 45Ca2+ from preloaded membrane vesicles of carrot cells. Both the detection of the auxin-stimulated phosphoinositide response and the (1,4,5)IP3-mediated Ca2+ release on isolated cell membranes offer new experimental approaches for the identification of the putative auxin receptor and its signal transduction pathway.
