ACTIVE CALCIUM TRANSPORT IN PLASMA MEMBRANE VESICLES FROM DEVELOPING COTYLEDONS OF COMMON BEAN
Plasma membrane vesicles were prepared from the developing cotyledons of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L cv Diyundou) by aqueous two-phase partitioning and characterized as to their purity by assaying marker enzymes for other membranes. The putative plasma membrane fraction was minimally contaminated by membranes other than plasma membrane and hence was of high purity. It exhibited a Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity, which was inhibited by 1 µmol/L EB and promoted by calcium ionophore A23187. Such an activity was responsible for the observed ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake into inside-out plasma membrane vesicles. This process was stimulated by 0.6 µmol/L CaM and 20 µmol/L IAA but inhibited by 2 µmol/L ABA and abolished by A23187. Possible role of cytoplasmic Ca2+ in mediating phytohormones activity is discussed.
