摘要
在金属胁迫下,植物通过诱导产生金属硫蛋白(metallothioneins,MTs)调节金属的平衡、有毒重金属的缓冲及活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)的清除。以植物金属硫蛋白发挥的功能为基础,对近年来国内外有关植物金属硫蛋白的金属结合及ROS清除功能和机制研究进行了综述。通过介绍MTs的金属-配体电荷转移特性,概述其能够结合不同金属离子的化学基础,因而在金属平衡和重金属解毒中发挥重要作用。此外,着重介绍植物在金属胁迫下可通过MTs巯基的氧化、与线粒体膜蛋白互作以及间接调节抗氧化物酶活性或基因的表达等途径清除ROS,缓解重金属对植物造成的氧化胁迫。
Plants induce the metallothioneins(MTs)to regulate metal homeostasis,buffer toxic heavy metals and remove cell-damaging reactive oxygen species(ROS)under metal stress.Building upon functions on plant metallothioneins,the functions and mechanisms of metal ion binding ability and ROS scavenging at home and abroad for the past few years were reviewed.The chemical basis of MTs ability to bind different metal ions based on the characteristics of ligand-to-metal charge transfer(LMCT)was summarized.MTs played important roles in metal homeostasis and heavy metal detoxification.Furthermore,the thiol groups in MTs could be oxidized.MTs interacted with the integral membrane proteins in the outer mitochondrial membrane,and indirectly regulated the activities of antioxidant enzymes or related genes expression to eliminate ROS in plants under heavy metal stress.
