Origin of the Cytoplasmic pH Changes during Anaerobic Stress in Higher Plant Cells. Carbon-13 and Phosphorous-31 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies

We tested the contribution of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis, ethanol, and organic acid syntheses, and H+-pump ATPases activity in the acidosis of anoxic sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) plant cells. Culture cells were chosen to alter NTP pools and fermentation with specific nutrient media (...

Description
Summary:We tested the contribution of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis, ethanol, and organic acid syntheses, and H+-pump ATPases activity in the acidosis of anoxic sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) plant cells. Culture cells were chosen to alter NTP pools and fermentation with specific nutrient media (phosphate [Pi]-deprived and adenine- or glycerol-supplied). In vivo 31P- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was utilized to noninvasively measure intracellular pHs, Pi, phosphomonoesters, nucleotides, lactate, and ethanol. Following the onset of anoxia, cytoplasmic (cyt) pH (7.5) decreased to 6.8 within 4 to 5 min, whereas vacuolar pH (5.7) and external pH (6.5) remained stable. The NTP pool simultaneously decreased from 210 to
