Cytosolic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) after a salicylic acid (SA)-stimulus was monitored in cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing apoaequorin, which constitutes a Ca(2+)-sensitive luminescent protein, aequorin, when combined with coelenterazine. SA induced a transient [Ca2+]cyt elevation that was dependent on the concentration of SA and pH of the SA solution. The SA-induced [Ca2+]cyt elevation was not reduced in Ca(2+)-deficient medium, suggesting that Ca2+ was mobilized from an intracellular Ca2+ store(s). Benzoic acid, butyric acid and sorbic acid did not induced a [Ca2+]cyt elevation.
