Abstract
Pollen germination is an excellent process to study cell polarity establishment. During this process, the tip-growing pollen tube will start elongating. The plasma membrane as the selectively permeable barrier that separates the inner and outer cell environment plays crucial roles in this process. This protocol described an efficient aqueous polymer two-phase system followed by alkaline solution washing to prepare Lilium davidii or Oryza sativa plasma membrane with high purity.
Keywords: Mature pollen grains (成熟花粉粒)Background
Pollen plasma membrane contains various proteins that are vital for pollen tube growth and fertilization, such as receptor-like kinases (Wang et al., 2016) and ion channels (Hamilton et al., 2015). Isolating pure plasma membrane (PM) is the premise for the comprehensive PM proteome analysis. There are mainly four methods for PM preparation: differential centrifugation, density gradient centrifugation, preparative free-flow electrophoresis and the aqueous polymer two-phase system. Normally, differential centrifugation is often combined with density gradient centrifugation together to separate the subcellular components according to their size, shape and density. This technique is rapid, but due to the organelle density’s overlap, the resultant PM yield and purity are low (Schindler and Nothwang, 2006). Both free-flow electrophoresis and the aqueous polymer two-phase system separate membrane vesicles according to their surface properties. These two methods can enrich PM pure enough for proteomic analysis (Alexandersson et al., 2007). However, the instrument for the free-flow electrophoresis is complicated to operate (Sandelius et al., 1986). On the contrast, the aqueous polymer two-phase system can be performed easily and rapidly with centrifugation, making this method more convenient for PM preparation. PM enriched by the aqueous polymer two-phase system present in the form of vesicles which contain some cytoplasm contaminations (Alexandersson et al., 2008). Treatment with alkaline solution (100 mM Na2CO3, pH 11.5) can open these vesicles into sheets to release the contaminations (Fujiki et al., 1982).
