In order to test the effects of environmental factors on different characteristics of plant leaf waxes, barley plants (Hordeum vulgare) were abiotically stress treated (exposure to darkness, heavy metal, high salt concentrations and drought), and biotically stressed by the infection with powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei; Bgh). Different wax parameters like amount, chemical composition, and micromorphology of epicuticular wax crystals, were investigated. Etiolated leaves of barley showed distinctly reduced wax amounts and modifications in their relative composition. The alterations of these wax parameters might be a result of a developmental delay, which could have been caused by a decreased availability of energy for cellular processes, due to lack of light. Cadmium exposure led to a 1.5-fold increase of wax amount, while chemical composition was unaffected. In drought- and salt-stressed plants, all investigated leaf wax parameters remained unaltered. In each of the abiotic treatments, the microstructure of epicuticular wax crystals, formed as typical platelets, was not modified. Even after 6d infection with powdery mildew (Bgh), neither locally nor systemically enforced modifications of wax features were revealed.
The analyzed leave surfaces, resulting from these four abiotic and the biotic treatment (phenotypic approach), were compared to altered leaf surfaces’ characteristics of 18 analyzed eceriferum (cer-) wax mutants (genotypic approach). Within the screening, 5 mutants were selected which distinctly differed from the wild-type in wax amount, portions of epi- and intracuticular wax fraction, relative chemical composition, crystal morphology, and surface wettability (hydrophobicity).
Apart from quantitative and qualitative effects on the leaf waxes, environmentally enforced modifications in cuticular waxes might be reflected in molecular processes of wax biogenesis. Therefore, a barley wax-microarray was established. 254 genes were selected, which are putatively involved in processes of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid elongation, and modification, and which are supposed to take part in lipid-trafficking between cell compartments, and transport of wax components to the outer cell surface. The regulations within the expression pattern evoked by the respective treatments were correlated with the corresponding analytical wax data, and the observed molecular effects of a 3d powdery mildew infection were compared with succeeding fungal morphogenesis. Etiolation and cadmium exposition pointed to transcriptional modifications in the de novo fatty acid synthesis, and in the screened, transport-related mechanisms, which correlate with respective alterations in surface wax characteristics. Moderate changes in the gene expression pattern, evoked by drought- and salinity-stress, might give hints for evolved adaptations in barley to such common habitat stresses. Theinvasion of powdery mildew into the epidermal host cells was reflected in the regulation of several genes. Beside other functions, these genes take part in pathogen defense, and intracellular component transport, or they encode transcription factors. The different modifications within the molecular responses evoked by the investigated abiotic treatments, and the effects of powdery mildew infection representing a biotic stressor, were compared between the different treatments.
In order to test the potential impact of different wax parameters on Bgh, conidia germination and differentiation was comparably investigated on leaf surfaces of abiotically stressed wild-type and cer-mutants, isolated cuticles, and further artificial surfaces. The rates of conidial development were similar on each of the leaf surfaces resulting from the abiotic treatments, while a significant reduction of the germination and differentiation success was revealed for the wax mutant cer-yp.949. Compared to the wild-type, developmental rates on isolated cuticles and extracted leaf waxes of the mutant cer-yp.949 indicated a modified embedding of cuticular waxes, and a possibly changed three-dimensional structure of the cer-yp.949 cuticle, which might explain the reduced conidial developmental rates on leaf surfaces of this particular mutant.
Experiments with Bgh conidia on mechanically de-waxed leaf surfaces (selective mechanical removal of the epicuticular leaf waxes with glue-like gum arabic, followed by an extraction of the intracuticular wax portion with chloroform) demonstrated the importance of the wax coverage for the germination and differentiation of the fungal conidia. On all dewaxed leaf surfaces, except those of cer-yp.949, the differentiation success of the germlings was significantly reduced, by about 20% (“wax-effect”). This result was verified through an artificial system with increased conidia developmental rates on glass slides covered with extracted leaf waxes. Further comparative tests with the major components of barley leaf wax, hexacosanol and hexacosanal, showed that the germination and differentiation of powdery mildew conidia not only depends on the different chemistry, but is also influenced by the respective surface hydrophobicity. Compared to hexacosanol, on hexacosanal coated glass surfaces, higher germination and differentiation rates were achieved, which correlated with increased levels of surface hydrophobicity. Developmental rates of conidia on hydrophobic foils demonstrated that hydrophobicity, as a sole surface factor, may stimulate the conidial germination and differentiation processes. Moreover, the survival of conidia on artificial surfaces is determined by additional surface derived factors, e.g. the availability of water, and a pervadable matrix.
During the last few years an increasing number of physiological processes in plants have been shown to be regulated by NO. NO plays important roles in growth and development, plant disease resistance, abiotic stress, and in above and underground plant organs. In recent years several enzymatic pathways and few non-enzymatic pathways were proposed for nitric oxide production in plants. The major goal of this work was to quantify NO production by plants and especially by roots, and to identify the enzymes responsible for NO production. As a major method, NO production by roots was followed through on-line measurement of NO emission into the gas phase by chemiluminescence (= direct chemiluminescence), and also by indirect chemiluminescence where trace amounts of oxidized products like NO2- and NO3- can be easily measured. Plants used were tobacco wild-type (N. tabacum cv Xanthi or cv Gatersleben), NR-free mutants grown on ammonium in order to prevent NR induction, plants grown on tungstate to inhibit synthesis of functional MoCo-enzymes, and a NO-overproducing nitrite reductase (NiR)-deficient transformant as well as barley, rice and pea. Induction of a hypersensitive response (HR) in tobacco leaves was achieved by using avirulent Pseudomonas syringae pv phaseolicola. At oxygen concentrations of <1%, even completely nitrate reductase (NR)-free root tissues reduced added nitrite to NO, indicating that in roots, NR was not the only source for nitrite-dependent NO formation. By contrast, NR-free leaf slices were not able to reduce nitrite to NO. Root NO formation was blocked by inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport (Myxothiazol and SHAM), whereas NO formation by NR containing leaf slices was insensitive to the inhibitors. Consistent with that, mitochondria purified from roots, but not those from leaves, reduced nitrite to NO at the expense of NADH. The inhibitor studies suggest that, in root mitochondria, both terminal oxidases participate in NO formation, and they also suggest that even in NR-containing roots, a large part of the reduction of nitrite to NO was catalysed by mitochondria, and less by NR. The differential capacity of root and leaf mitochondria to reduce nitrite to NO appears to be common among higher plants, since it was observed with Arabidopsis, barley, pea, and tobacco. Nitrite and NADH consumption by mitochondria were also measured. Anaerobic, nitrite-dependent NO emission was exclusively associated with the membrane fraction, without participation of matrix components. It was also examined whether root mitochondria and mitochondrial membranes produce nitric oxide (NO) exclusively by reduction of nitrite or also via a nitric oxide synthase (NOS),- and to what extent direct NO measurements could be falsified by NO oxidation. In addition to chemiluminescence, Diaminofluoresceins (DAF) were used as an NO indicators for comparison. In air, mitochondria apparently produced no nitrite-dependent NO, and no NOS activity was detected by direct or indirect chemiluminescence. In contrast, with DAF-2 and DAR-4M an L-arginine-dependent fluorescence increase took place. However, the response of this apparent NOS activity to inhibitors, substrates and cofactors was untypical when compared with commercial iNOS and is considered an artefact. With iNOS, about 2/3 of the NO were oxidized to (nitrite + nitrate). Mitochondria also appear to consume NO without increasing oxidation to (nitrite+ nitrate). We therefore assume formation of NO to a volatile intermediate (eventually N2O3). It was recently shown that the hypersensitive response (HR) of tobacco triggered by the fungal elicitor cryptogein occurred independent of the presence or absence of nitrate reductase (NR). One conclusion was that NR-dependent NO formation played no role in the HR. Here we present evidence that the described scenario may be specific for cryptogein. Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola was infiltrated into tobacco leaves from WT plant and from the NiR-deficient NO-overproducing clone 271, grown either on nitrate or ammonium. Lesion development as well as bacterial growth and sugar concentrations in leaves and in the leaf apoplast was monitored. Lesion development was positively and bacterial growth was negatively correlated with nitrate nutrition and eventually with NO formation. Bacterial growth was positively correlated with ammonium nutrition and apoplastic sugar concentrations. Total (free and conjugated) SA content were always drastically increased by bacterial infection, but there was no clear correlation with NO production. In the presence of cryptogein, Pseudomonas growth was drastically reduced. This shows that the assumed interdependence of bacterial growth, NO production and the HR is complex and not unifactorial.
Brassicaceae and a few related plant families are characterized by possession of the glucosinolate-myrosinase system. Glucosinolates are amino-acid derived allelochemicals which are hydrolysed upon tissue damage by myrosinase enzymes to produce various degradation products which can be toxic for generalist insects. The larvae of the crucifer-specialist Athalia rosae, the turnip sawfly, sequester glucosinolates into their haemolymph. The role of the glucosinolate-myrosinase system for the interaction of the turnip sawfly with Brassicaceae was examined in this study from two different perspectives: variation within individual plants and between plant species. The plant responses to the feeding by herbivores and the short-term effects this induction had on insect behaviour were investigated in white mustard. Furthermore, plants can use multiple defences. Hence correlations of glucosinolates and myrosinase activities with other defences and nutritional quality and their long-term effects on the development of the insects were investigated in seven different plant species.
Lokalisation, Funktion und Regulation pflanzlicher Tandem-Poren-Kaliumkanäle in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2007)
Lokalisation - Alle TPKs bis auf TPK4, der in der Plasmamembran lokalisiert ist, sind im Tonoplasten lokalisiert. - Das 14-3-3-Bindemotiv bzw. der komplette N-Terminus spielt im Gegensatz zu den tierischen TPK´s keine Rolle beim Targeting (und evtl. auch beim Assembly), da ein Austausch der N-Termini bzw. Mutationen im 14-3-3- Bindemotiv keinen Einfluss auf die subzelluläre Lokalisation hat. - Im C-Terminus ist möglicherweise ein strukturelles Motiv bzw. eine Erkennungssequenz für das Targeting in unterschiedliche Zielmembranen lokalisiert. Eventuell ist hier auch eine Assembly-Domäne für den Zusammenbau der unterschiedlichen Kanaluntereinheiten vorhanden. TPK4 - Der Kaliumkanal TPK4 wird nach Agro-Infiltration in dem pflanzlichen Expressionssystem Nicotiana benthamiana exprimiert. - TPK4 ist auch in diesem Expressionssystem in der Plasmamembran der Zelle lokalisiert. - Die Ströme, welche aus Mesophyllzellen von TPK4 infiltrierten Blättern abgeleitet wurden, gleichen denen, von TPK4 exprimierenden Oocyten von Xenopus laevis. Somit hat TPK4 in beiden Expressionssystemen die gleichen elektrophysiologischen Eigenschaften. TPK1 - TPK1 bindet über die C-terminalen EF-Hände Calcium und wird durch diese Interaktion aktiviert. - TPK1 interagiert phosphospezifisch und isotypspezifisch mit dem 14-3-3- Protein GRF6. Diese Interaktion führt zur Aktivierung des Kanals. - Die Kinasen CPK3 und CPK29, welche das 14-3-3-Bindemotiv von TPK1 phosphorylieren um eine Interaktion mit 14-3-3-Proteinen zu ermöglichen, gehören zur Familie der CDPKs - Diese Kinasen sind selbst Calcium aktiviert und aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach unter physiologischen Bedingungen inaktiv. Erst ein Anstieg der freien Calciumkonzentration führt zur Aktivierung der Kinase in der Zelle und damit zur Aktivierung des Kanals. - Das 14-3-3-Bindemotiv ist das einzige Target der CDPK´s im N-Terminus von TPK1 - Die Phosphatase, welche das 14-3-3-Bindemotiv von TPK1 dephosphoryliert gehört zur Familie der PP2A-Proteinphosphatasen. - Es ist möglich, dass die Kinase und damit auch der Kanal durch Salzstress und durch Kaliumunterversorgung aktiviert werden und somit die Signalkaskade für die Aktivierung von TPK1 über Kinasen/14-3-3/Calcium in einen stressphysiologischen Kontext involviert ist. - tpk1.3- und cpk3.1-Verlustmutanten zeigen eine Reduktion in der Keimungsrate unter Salzstress und limitierten Kaliumangebot. Es kann über einen funktionalen Komplex bestehend aus TPK1 und TPC1 zur Aufrechterhaltung der Na+/K+-Homeostase und der elektroneutralen Aufnahme von Na+ in die Vakuole unter Salzstressbedingungen spekuliert werden.
NO has been described as an important component involved in the development of the hypersensitive reaction (Delledonne et.al., 1998). Furthermore, NO induces expression of a set of defence gene, such as PR-1, PAL1 and chalcone synthase (CHS), and accumulation of SA (Durner et al., 1998). In this study, transgenic plants with altered NO levels were used to study the role of NO in plant defence. Arabidopsis plants which, due to expression of a bacterial NO dioxygenase, exhibit lower levels of NO than wild-type plants, show several weakened defence response, including the oxidative burst and expression of phenylpropanoid pathway genes. By contrast, constitutive expression of a bacterial NO synthase in Arabisopsis results in increased levels of endogenous NO. However, these plants do not show constitutively activated defence responses, but suffer from increased susceptibility to various strains of P. syringae. This might indicate that a gradient in NO production rather than constitutive elevation of NO is necessary to trigger plant defence responses. Nevertheless, NO seems to be important for regulation of the oxidative state in plant cells. This function of NO is important during leaf senescence. The data of the present work indicate that NO acts as senescence-delaying factor during plant development. The molecular action of NO in plants and signalling cascades in which NO is involved as second messenger are still poorly understood. Experiments addressing the selective quantification of NO in intact plant tissue, the identification of NO-target proteins as well as the function of NO-modified biomolecules might help to understand the role of NO in plants. Non-host resistance consists of several layers of defence that include preformed compounds existing in plants before pathogen infection and induced defences which the plant activates after recognition of a pathogen. The role of inducible defences in preventing multiplication of non-adapted bacteria is not clear. Our experiments suggest that to restrict non-adapted bacterial growth, pre-formed antimicrobial compounds and an early inducible cell wall-based defence might play an important role in Arabidopsis leaves. Upon inoculation with non-adapted bacteria, we have observed early, TTSS-independent up-regulation of PAL1 and BCB, two lignin biosynthesis genes which might be involved in papilla formation or other kinds of cell wall fortification. Moreover, Arabidopsis pal1 knockout lines permit significantly higher survival of non-adapted bacteria in leaves than wild-type plants, suggesting a functional importance of PAL1 up-regulation. Although non-host bacteria, like host bacteria, induce accumulation of SA and PR gene expression in a TTSS-dependent manner, SA-dependent or JA/ET-dependent defences do not directly contribute to non-host resistance. Moreover, non-adapted bacteria activate similar defence signalling pathways as do host bacteria. However, because of varieties in effector protein composition between different non-adapted bacterial strains, the activated signalling pathways might also include different compounds. The Arabidopsis ecotype Ler 0 is more susceptible to a non-adapted strain of P. syringae than ecotype Col-0. Although differences in glucosinolate content and composition between those ecotypes exist, they are probably not a major reason for the observed difference in non-host resistance. To further understand the mechanisms underlying non-host resistance, the generation of double or triple mutants with deficits in both cell wall-based defences and SA-dependent signal cascades is necessary. Moreover, the study of genome polymorphism and composition of secondary metabolites between Ler-0 and Col-0 can shed new light into the mechanisms of non-host resistance against bacterial pathogens. Additionally, experiments addressing papilla formation and callose biosynthesis in Ler-0 and Col-0 could help to further elucidate bacterial non-host resistance. Our data indicate that localized contact of Arabidopsis leaves with non-adapted bacteria, type III secretion-defective P. syringae strains and bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) induce systemic acquired resistance (SAR) at the whole plant level. This finding contrasts the general belief that an HR or other leaf necroses are required for SAR induction. The observed symptomless systemic response was abolished in all SAR-deficient mutants tested in this study, but was intact in the jar1 mutant, which is compromised in induction of ISR, indicating that non-host bacteria and PAMPs induce SAR in a mechanistically similar way than host bacteria. In addition, our data show that the extent of SA accumulation or PR gene expression induced at sites of virulent or avirulent P. syringae inoculation rather than the amount of tissue necroses or jasmonate accumulation determine the magnitude of SAR. The fact that systemic responses were also triggered after local treatment with type III secretion-defective P. syringae strains and bacterial PAMPs indicate that induction of SAR is TTSS-independent. Instead, recognition of general elicitors like flagellin and LPS play an important role in activation of the SAR process. To broaden the concept of PAMP-based SAR initiation, further general elicitors from bacteria and fungal pathogens should be tested for their capability to induce SAR. Screens for mutants with deficiency in SAR activation by individual PAMPs can help to identify new components involved in the SAR signalling cascade. Possible functions of PAMPs as mobile systemic signals should be tested in future experiments. By selection of candidate genes whose expression is up-regulated in Arabidopsis leaves infected with avirulent and virulent P. syringae and pathophysiological analyses of corresponding T-DNA knockout lines, FLAVIN-DEPENDENT MONOOXYGENASE1 (FMO1) was identified as a key SAR regulator. SAR triggered by P. syringae is completely abolished in fmo1 mutant plants, and pathogen-induced expression of FMO1 in systemic leaves is closely correlated with the capability of different Arabidopsis lines to develop SAR. According to our findings, we have proposed that the FMO1 acts in signal amplification in non-inoculated, systemic leaves to trigger SAR. Experimental verification of the postulated potential amplification cycle underlying SAR should be tested in future experiments. The generation of transgenic lines expressing FMO1::GFP will provide useful information about the cellular localization of the FMO1 protein. Moreover, a comparative metabolomic analysis using SAR-induced wild-type, fmo1 knockout and FMO1 overexpressing lines can be used to identify substrates and reaction products of the FMO1 monooxygenase. As the single yeast FMO (yFMO) provides oxidizing equivalents at the ER for correct protein folding, expression of FMO1 in yfmo mutant yeast combined with protein activity assays might indicate whether FMO1 exhibits functional similarities with yeast FMO, e.g. in assuring proper folding of ER-targeted proteins essential for SAR establishment. Identification of further genes involved in activation of systemic resistance and biochemical characterization of the corresponding proteins can help to understand the SAR process in more detail.

Zusammenfassung: Untersucht wurden die Pflanzenbemalungen in drei unterfränkischen Kirchen, die in ihrer Naturnähe und damit botanischen Korrektheit sowie in ihrer Intention differieren. Die Aufgabe der Arbeit war, soweit möglich eine botanische Bestimmung durchzuführen, nach Gründen für das Auftauchen von floralen Dekorationen in Sakralräumen allgemein und speziell für das Auftauchen einer bestimmten Species im speziellen zu suchen. Die drei betrachteten Kirchen unterscheiden sich zum einen in ihrer ursprünglichen Nutzung: "normale" Pfarrkirche, Hofkapelle eines Domherrenhofs und Betort einer Rosenkranzbruderschaft, die im Zuge der Gegenreformation unter Julius Echter gegründet wurde. Letztere diente wohl auch als repräsentative Schloßkapelle zum Schloß Büchold. Weitere Unterschiede sind in der Qualität der Ausmalung zu erkennen: Die Gotteshäuser in Rothenfels und im Seebacher Hof verfügen über Pflanzendarstellungen, die stark schematisiert sind, wobei die der Allendorfkapelle noch Ansätze von Naturbeobachtung erkennen lassen. Demgegenüber erscheinen die Fresken im Chor der Bücholder Pfarrkirche zwar auch leicht schematisiert, aber doch so nah an der Natur, daß wenigstens zum Teil eine Bestimmung bis auf die Art gelungen ist; bei einigen Exemplaren war dies jedoch nicht möglich. In letzterem Gotteshaus ist die Bemalung ein existentieller Teil des ikonographischen Konzeptes; Rothenfels läßt ein solches nicht erkennen; die Kapelle im Hof Luden entzieht sich einer Beurteilung diesbezüglich, da ihre Innenausstattung kriegsbedingt verbrannt ist. Das dortige Vorkommen von Ruta graveolens L., Rosa spec. und Tulipa spec. als bekannten Marienpflanzen macht ein früher erkennbares Konzept jedoch wahrscheinlich. Zur Kirche St. Nikolaus und Mariae Heimsuchung in Arnstein-Büchold: Der Chor ist in seiner Gesamtheit Teil des Ausstattungsprogramms der Kirche: er symbolisiert den hortus conclusus, den Garten, der Sinnbild nicht nur für die Gottesmutter ist. Innerhalb dieses Chorgartens lassen sich an den liturgisch wichtigen Stellen - Chorbogen, Chorhaupt und Schlußstein - durchweg bekannte Symbolpflanzen finden. Das Chorgewölbe ist in sich gegliedert in 50 Teile und korrespondiert direkt mit der Anzahl der Rosenkränze im Rosenkranzgebet; diese 50 Deckenteile bilden zusammen zwei vierzählige Blüten, die das Garten- oder Blumenmotiv verstärken. An Stellen, die ohne besondere Wichtigkeit sind, hat der Maler Wolfgang Ritterlein eine bunte Mischung aus einheimischen, fremdländischen und phantastischen Pflänzlein gestaltet, so daß in der Gesamtheit nicht nur ein umschlossener Garten, sondern auch eine Wunderkammer, ein Kuriositätenkabinett entsteht. - Damit erweist sich die Bemalung dieses Chors als eine schöne Symbiose aus symbolhafter Ausstattung und Repräsentation wie sie zu Beginn des Barocks nicht selten begegnet.
RS1 ist ein 67-68 kD großes, ubiquitär exprimiertes Protein, das sich an der Innenseite der Plasmamembran befindet und in den Zellkern wandern kann. Durch immunhistochemischen Untersuchungen an Dünndarmschnitten der Maus konnte RS1 das erste Mal in dieser Arbeit im Kern und an der Membran von Enterozyten gezeigt werden. RS1 wird von einem intronlosen Single Copy Gen kodiert und ist fähig Ubiquitin über eine Ubiquitin-assoziierte (UBA) Domäne zu binden. Es reduziert die Konzentration einiger Proteine in der Plasmamembran. Durch Expressionsversuche in Xenopus Oozyten wurde gezeigt, dass RS1 die Menge des Na+-D-Glukosekotransporters SGLT1 in der Plasmamembran transkriptionsunabhängig reduziert. Entsprechend seiner dualen Lokalisation beteiligt sich RS1 aber auch an der Transkriptionsregulation im Zellkern. In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnten Informationen über die physiologische Funktion des membranassoziierten Regulatorproteins RS1 gewonnen werden. Nach Erstellung einer RS1-knock-out Maus wurde sichergestellt, dass ein erfolgreiches Rekombinationsereignis stattgefunden hatte und RS1 tatsächlich nicht mehr exprimiert wurde. Die RS1-knock-out Mäuse waren postnatal lebensfähig, vermehrten sich gut und entwickelten eine Fettsucht mit 30 % mehr Körpergewicht, 80 % mehr Fett und um 40 % vergrößerten Fettzellen. Bei den transgenen Mäusen war weder die Nahrungsaufnahme gesteigert, noch die motorische Aktivität verringert. In der Bürstensaummembran des Dünndarmepithels konnte bei den RS1-knock-out Mäusen die siebenfache Menge an Protein des Na+-abhängigen D-Glukosekotransporters SGLT1 detektiert werden, während die Konzentration des passiven Glukosetransporters GLUT2 in der basolateralen Membran nicht verändert war. Die Zunahme der SGLT1-Proteinmenge war posttranskriptional bedingt. Bei der RS1-knock-out Maus wirkt sich der in Oozyten beobachtete Effekt an der Plasmamembran aus, während der an konfluenten LLCPK1 Zellen gezeigte Effekt im Zellkern nicht zum Tragen kommt. Die transgenen Tiere resorbierten die doppelte Menge an D-Glukose im Dünndarm. Das spricht dafür, dass bei der RS1-knock-out Maus der „turnover“ des SGLT1 beeinflusst sein muss, da die siebenfache SGLT1-Proteinmenge einem verdoppelten Transport über den SGLT1 gegenübersteht. Die RS1-knock-out Mäuse zeigten normale Insulinspiegel und reguläre oralen Glukosebelastungstests. Bei gefütterten Mäusen waren die Serumleptinspiegel ähnlich wie bei Wildtypmäusen, die typische Reduzierung des Serumleptinspiegel konnte bei den Mäusen ohne RS1 aber nicht beobachtet werden. Untersuchungen an Fettzellexplantaten ergaben, dass die Sekretion von Leptin bei RS1- knock-out-Explantaten erhöht war, während die Leptinsynthese und die insulinabhängige Regulation der Leptinsekretion nicht verändert waren. Mit der RS1-knock-out Maus wurde ein neues Fettsuchtmodell geschaffen. RS1 spielt eine physiologisch wichtige Rolle bei der Regulation der D-Glukoseaufnahme im Darm. Der visceralen Adipositas liegt wahrscheinlich eine gesteigerte Nahrungsutilisation durch die verbesserte Glukoseaufnahme über den SGLT1 im Darm zugrunde. Die gesteigerte Glukoseabsorption ist ursächlich für den Anstieg der Fettmasse. Die Fettzellen vergrößern sich und sezernieren dann mehr Leptin. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die RS1-knock-out Mäuse eine veränderte Nahrungsutilisation aufgrund der verbesserten Glukoseaufnahme im Dünndarm aufweisen. Die Adipositas demzufolge ein sekundärer Effekt. Gleichzeitig kann aber nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass RS1 direkt auf die Zellen des weißen Fettgewebes wirkt und bei Wildtypmäusen die Sekretion des Leptins aus Vesikeln hemmt.
