H+ Efflux and Hexose Transport under Imposed Energy Status in Maize Root Tips

Abstract

The relationship between changes in H+ flux and sugar transport in maize Zea mays L. DEA root tips have been investigated using two methods for controlling the cellular nucleotide level: (a) incubation in the presence of a glucose analog, the 2-deoxyglucose, which decreased the ATP level to less than 15% of its initial value within 60 minutes without changing the ADP and AMP levels; (b) an hypoxic treatment which also decreased the ATP level but with a concomitant rise in ADP and AMP. In both cases the rate of hexose transport was not modified until ATP had dropped to 70% of its initial value; then it decreased with the cellular ATP level. The residual uptake rate at very low ATP concentrations still represented 50% of the maximum rate with the dGlc treatment but only the diffusion rate in anoxia. H+ efflux was abolished in anoxia but not by the 2-deoxyglucose treatment, in spite of a lower cellular ATP concentration. Our results are consistent with an inhibition of H+-ATPase activity in anoxia by the high levels of cellular ADP and AMP, and provide in vivo evidence that sugar uptake is dependent upon the proton motive force rather than cellular ATP concentration. The absence of stimulation of H+ extrusion by ferricyanide in either normoxic or hypoxic conditions suggests that a redox system does not appear to contribute to H+ secretion under the conditions of this investigation.
