[The effect of SH group inhibitors on phosphate transport in Chlorella pyrenoidosa].
The effect of Sulphydryl reagents have been investigated. pCMB inhibits the transport of phosphate in Chlorella pyrenoidosa. This inhibition is immediate and does not change as a function of time of incubation. This inhibition affects non starved and starved cells (phosphate omitted). pCMPS and Mersalyl act in the same manner as pCMB. When these compounds are used at low concentrations, inhibition of phosphate uptake is observed only in starved cells. The substrate (phosphate) cannot provide protection against this inhibition. NEM inhibits phosphate uptake and this inhibition increases as a function of time of incubation. When the time of incubation is very short (about 15 seconds) the effects seems to be superficial and NEM reacts with SH groups involved in the transport system. When phosphate is present (for 15 seconds of incubation with NEM) the inhibition is less important than when phosphate is omitted. The substrate protects against NEM, but this protection disappears as the incubation with NEM is prolonged. NEM inhibits phosphate uptake in non starved and starved cells, however, it is observed that the inhibition is less important in starved cells than in non starved cells. The authors conclude that two kinds of SH groups might exist in the phosphate transport system, one reacting with pCMB and the other with NEM.
