Abstract
After removal of the lower epidermis, leaf discs ofVicia faba L. were loaded with either [14C]sucrose or [3H]3-O-methylglucose (3-O-MeG). The exit of preloaded sucrose was strongly stimulated when sucrose was present in the bathing medium, and the exit of 3-O-MeG was also markedly increased in the presence of 3-O-MeG. This specific stimulation exhibited single saturation dependence on the external concentration of sugar (K m=9 mM for sucrose, 5 mM for 3-O-MeG), and was sensitive to low temperature, uncouplers and thiol reagents. Sucrose exit was never affected by 3-O-MeG in the bathing medium. Sucrose did not affect the exit of 3-O-MeG in fresh discs, but promoted this exit in discs previously aged for 12 h, indicating partial external hydrolysis of sucrose in the latter tissues. Ageing also dramatically increased the exit of 3-O-MeG induced by 3-O-MeG but had no effect on the exit of sucrose induced by sucrose. The ability of 53 compounds (pentoses, hexoses, hexose-phosphates, polyols, di- and trisaccharides, phenyl- and nitrophenyl-derivatives, sweeteners) to interact with the sucrose carrier and with the hexose carrier was tested. Sucrose, maltose, α-phenylglucoside andp-nitrophenyl-α-glucoside interacted with the sucrose carrier.d-glucose,d-xylose,d-fucose,d-galactose,d-mannose, 3-O-MeG and 2-deoxyglucose interacted with the hexose carrier.
