Abstract
The effects of brefeldin A (BFA) on the secretion of acid phosphatase (APase) by tobacco protoplasts were investigated. Secretion of APase was inhibited by BFA in a dose-dependent manner, with a concomitant intracellular accumulation of the enzyme. The secreted APase was composed of two isoforms. BFA (10/ μg/ml) inhibited the secretion of one of the isoforms without inhibiting that of the other, and this phenomenon explains the partial inhibition of APase secretion as a whole. The inhibition of APase secretion was accompanied by changes in the morphology of the Golgi apparatus and also by an increment in massdensity of cells.Entities:
