AbstractPollen tube elongation is characterized by a highly-polarized tip growth process dependent on an efficient vesicular transport system and largely mobilized by actin cytoskeleton. Pollen tubes are an ideal model system to study exocytosis, endocytosis, membrane recycling, and signaling network coordinating cellular processes, structural organization and vesicular trafficking activities required for tip growth. Proteomic analysis was applied to identifyNicotiana tabacumDifferentially Abundant Proteins (DAPs) after in vitro pollen tube treatment with membrane trafficking inhibitors Brefeldin A, Ikarugamycin and Wortmannin. Among roughly 360 proteins separated in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, a total of 40 spots visibly changing between treated and control samples were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and LC–ESI–MS/MS analysis. The identified proteins were classified according to biological processes, and most proteins were related to pollen tube energy metabolism, including ammino acid synthesis and lipid metabolism, structural features of pollen tube growth as well modification and actin cytoskeleton organization, stress response, and protein degradation. In-depth analysis of proteins corresponding to energy-related pathways revealed the male gametophyte to be a reliable model of energy reservoir and dynamics.

Pollen tubes show active cytoplasmic streaming. We isolated organelles from pollen tubes and tested their ability to slide along actin bundles in characean cell models. Here, we show that sliding of organelles was ATP-dependent and that motility was lost after N-ethylmaleimide or heat treatment of organelles. On the other hand, cytoplasmic streaming in pollen tube was inhibited by either N-ethylmaleimide or heat treatment. These results strongly indicate that cytoplasmic streaming in pollen tubes is supported by the "actomyosin"-ATP system. The velocity of organelle movement along characean actin bundles was much higher than that of the native streaming in pollen tubes. We suggested that pollen tube "myosin" has a capacity to move at a velocity of the same order of magnitude as that of characean myosin. Moreover, the motility was high at Ca2+ concentrations lower than 0.18 microM (pCa 6.8) but was inhibited at concentration higher than 4.5 microM (pCa 5.4). In conclusion, cytoplasmic streaming in pollen tubes is suggested to be regulated by Ca2+ through "myosin" inactivation.
