The NAD+ metabolite cADP-Rib (cADPR) elevates cytosolic
free Ca2+ in plants and thereby plays a central role in
signal transduction pathways evoked by the drought and stress hormone
abscisic acid. cADPR is known to mobilize Ca2+ from the
large vacuole of mature cells. To determine whether additional sites
for cADPR-gated Ca2+ release reside in plant cells,
microsomes from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea)
inflorescences were subfractionated on sucrose density gradients, and
the distribution of cADPR-elicited Ca2+ release was
monitored. cADPR-gated Ca2+ release was detected in the
heavy-density fractions associated with rough endoplasmic reticulum
(ER). cADPR-dependent Ca2+ release co-migrated with two ER
markers, calnexin and antimycin A-insensitive NADH-cytochrome
c reductase activity. To investigate the possibility
that contaminating plasma membrane in the ER-rich fractions was
responsible for the observed release, plasma membrane vesicles were
purified by aqueous two-phase partitioning, everted with Brij-58, and
loaded with Ca2+: These vesicles failed to respond to
cADPR. Ca2+ release evoked by cADPR at the ER was fully
inhibited by ruthenium red and 8-NH2-cADPR, a specific
antagonist of cADPR-gated Ca2+ release in animal cells. The
presence of a Ca2+ release pathway activated by cADPR at
higher plant ER reinforces the notion that, alongside the vacuole, the
ER participates in Ca2+ signaling.
