Several enzyme activities were measured in extracts from acclimated and
nonacclimated maize (Zea mays) root tips at pH 6.5 and 7.5, corresponding
to cytoplasmic pH in anaerobiosis or aerobiosis, respectively, to determine
what causes the decline of the glycolytic flux observed in anoxia in
nonacclimated tips. We found that phosphorylation of hexoses by kinases was
a major limiting step of glycolysis in anoxia. When fructose was
substituted for glucose, glycolysis was slightly enhanced and survival
improved, but neither matched that of acclimated tips. Decrease of kinase
activities was not the result of proteolytic degradation but was more
likely the result of inhibition by internal factors (low pH and low ATP).
There was no evidence of induction during the hypoxic pretreatment of
isoenzymes better adapted to the anoxic cellular environment. Maintenance
of the glycolytic flux in acclimated tissues is explained by a combination
of a rise in kinase activities and decreased inhibition resulting from a
higher cytoplasmic pH and ATP content. The behavior of intact root tips is
discussed in comparison with the behavior of excised root tips.
