[PMID: 38663264 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Fatty acid de novo biosynthesis in plant plastids is initiated from acetyl-CoA and catalyzed by a series of enzymes, which is required for the vegetative growth, reproductive growth, seed development, stress response, chloroplast development and other biological processes. In this review, we systematically summarized the fatty acid de novo biosynthesis-related genes/enzymes and their critical roles in various plant developmental processes. Based on bioinformatic analysis, we identified fatty acid synthase encoding genes and predicted their potential functions in maize growth and development, especially in anther and pollen development. Finally, we highlighted the potential applications of these fatty acid synthases in male-sterility hybrid breeding, seed oil content improvement, herbicide and abiotic stress resistance, which provides new insights into future molecular crop breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, suspected cyhalofop-butyl-resistant populations of allohexaploid weed Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli were discovered in rice fields in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Analyzing the target-site ACCase genes of cyhalofop-butyl helps understand the resistance mechanism. However, in E. crus-galli, the presence of multiple ACCase genes and the lack of detailed gene investigations have complicated the analysis of target-site genes. Therefore, in this study, we characterized the herbicide response of E. crus-galli lines and thoroughly characterized the ACCase genes, including the evaluation of gene mutations in the ACCase genes of each line. RESULT Four suspected resistant lines collected from Aichi Prefecture showed varying degrees of resistance to cyhalofop-butyl and other FOP-class ACCase inhibitors but were sensitive to herbicides with other modes of action. Through genomic analysis, six ACCase loci were identified in the E. crus-galli genome. We renamed each gene based on its syntenic relationship with other ACCase genes in the Poaceae species. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that all ACCase genes, except the pseudogenized copy ACCase2A, were transcribed at a similar level in the shoots of E. crus-galli. Mutations known to confer resistance to FOP-class herbicides, that is W1999C, W2027C/S and I2041N, were found in all resistant lines in either ACCase1A, ACCase1B or ACCase2C. CONCLUSION In this study, we found that the E. crus-galli lines were resistant exclusively to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides, with a target-site resistance mutation in the ACCase gene. Characterization of ACCase loci in E. crus-galli provides a basis for further research on ACCase herbicide resistance in Echinochloa spp. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Target-site resistance is the major cause of herbicide resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)- and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides in arable weeds, whereas non-target-site resistance is rarely reported. In the Echinochloa phyllopogon biotypes resistant to these herbicides, target-site resistance has not been reported, and non-target-site resistance is assumed to be the basis for resistance. To explore why target-site resistance had not occurred, the target-site genes for these herbicides were isolated from E. phyllopogon, and their expression levels in a resistant biotype were determined. RESULTS Two complete ALS genes and the carboxyltransferase domain of four ACCase genes were isolated. The expression levels of ALS and ACCase genes were higher in organs containing metabolically active meristems, except for ACC4, which was not expressed in any organ. The differential expression among examined organs was more prominent for ALS2 and ACC2 and less evident for ALS1, ACC1 and ACC3. CONCLUSION E. phyllopogon has multiple copies of the ALS and ACCase genes, and different expression patterns were observed among the copies. The existence of three active ACCase genes and the difference in their relative expression levels could influence the occurrence of target-site resistance to ACCase inhibitors in E. phyllopogon.

Abstract
Combined with a system for identifying each of the chromosomes in a genome, visualizing the location of individual genetic loci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) would aid in assembling physical and genetic maps. Previously, large genomic clones have been successfully used as FISH probes onto somatic chromosomes but this approach is complicated in species with abundant repetitive elements. In this study, repeat-free portions of sequences that were anchored to particular chromosomes including genes, gene clusters, large cDNAs, and portions of BACs obtained from public databases were used to label the corresponding physical location using FISH. A collection of probes that includes at least one marker on each chromosome in the maize complement was assembled, allowing a small-target karyotyping system to be developed. This set provides the foundation onto which additional loci could be added to strengthen further the ability to perform chromosomal identification in maize and its relatives. The probes were demonstrated to produce signals in several wild relatives of maize, including Zea luxurians, Z. diploperennis, and Tripsacum dactyloides.

Abstract
Cyhalofop-butyl (CB), 2-[4-(4-cyano-2-fluorophenoxy)phenoxy]propanoic acid, butyl ester (R), is an aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) herbicide for postemergence use in rice to control grasses, mainly Echinochloa spp. Similar to other AOPP and cyclohexanedione herbicides, the site of action of CB is acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis. The mechanisms involved in the selectivity of CB in rice (Oryza sativa L.)-absorption, translocation, metabolism, and ACCase susceptibility-were studied. Studies of in vitro inhibition of ACCase in E. oryzoides and O. sativa L. species discounted any differential active site sensitivity as the basis of tolerance to CB. The O. sativa L. cuticle was uniformly covered by waxes, with predominantly unshaped large waxes randomly distributed, obtaining absorption values of under 30%, 24 h after application (HAA). The E. oryzoides cuticle formed a non-uniform covered reticule, with less wax density and areas lacking in waxes reaching maximum values of absorption rising to 73%, 24 HAA. Translocation studies revealed no significant differences, either between species, or between times, remaining in the treated leaf. There was a good correlation between the rate of metabolism and plant tolerance. Plant metabolism studies demonstrated that tolerant rice inactivated the esterases producing a lack of functionality thus reducing the conversion of CB to cyhalofop acid, which is the active form of the herbicide. Moreover, it increased the metabolism of the herbicide forming non toxic metabolites much faster than E. oryzoides. It was concluded that the basis of rice tolerance to CB was a lack of esterase functionality, a reduced absorption through the cuticle and an increase in cyhalofop acid metabolism.

Abstract
Three diclofop-methyl (DM) resistant biotypes of Lolium rigidum (R1, R2, and R3) were found in different winter wheat fields in Spain, continuously treated with DM, DM + chlortoluron, or DM + isoproturon. Herbicide rates that inhibited shoot growth by 50% (ED50) were determined for DM. There were found that the different biotypes exhibited different ranges of resistance to this herbicide; the resistant factors were 7.2, 13, and 36.6, respectively. DM absorption, metabolism, and effects on ACCase isoforms were examined in these biotypes of L. rigidum. The most highly resistant, biotype R3, contained an altered isoform of ACCase. In biotype R2, which exhibited a medium level of resistance, there was an increased rate of oxidation of the aryl ring of diclofop, a reaction most likely catalyzed by a cytochrome P450 enzyme. In the other biotype, R1, DM penetration was significantly less than that observed in the resistant (R2 and R3) and susceptible (S) biotypes. Analysis of the leaf cuticle surface by scanning electron microscopy showed a greater epicuticular wax density in the leaf cuticles of biotype R1 than in the other biotypes.

Abstract
Biotin-containing proteins are found in all forms of life, and they catalyze carboxylation, decarboxylation, or transcarboxylation reactions that are central to metabolism. In plants, five biotin-containing proteins have been characterized. Of these, four are catalysts, namely the two structurally distinct acetyl-CoA carboxylases (heteromeric and homomeric), 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and geranoyl-CoA carboxylase. In addition, plants contain a noncatalytic biotin protein that accumulates in seeds and is thought to play a role in storing biotin. Acetyl-CoA carboxylases generate two pools of malonyl-CoA, one in plastids that is the precursor for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis and the other in the cytosol that is the precursor for fatty acid elongation and a large number of secondary metabolites. 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes a reaction in the mitochondrial pathway for leucine catabolism. The exact metabolic function of geranoyl-CoA carboxylase is as yet unknown, but it may be involved in isoprenoid metabolism. This minireview summarizes the recent developments in our understanding of the structure, regulation, and metabolic functions of these proteins in plants.

Abstract
Wild oat (Avena fatua L.) populations resistant to herbicides that inhibit acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase; EC 6.4.1.2) represent an increasingly important weed control problem. The objective of this study was to determine the ACCase mutation responsible for herbicide resistance in a well-studied wild oat biotype (UMI). A 2039-bp region encompassing the carboxybiotin and acetyl-CoA binding domains of multifunctional plastidic ACCase was analyzed. DNA sequences representing three plastidic ACCase gene loci were isolated from both the resistant UMI and a herbicide-susceptible biotype, consistent with the hexaploid nature of wild oat. Only one nonsynonymous point mutation was found among the resistant wild oat sequences, inferring an isoleucine to leucine substitution. The position of this substitution corresponds to residue 1769 of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plastidic ACCase (GenBank accession No. AF029895). Analysis of an F2 population derived from a cross between a herbicide-resistant and a susceptible biotype confirmed co-segregation of herbicide resistance with the mutated ACCase. We conclude that the isoleucine to leucine mutation is responsible for herbicide resistance in UMI wild oat based on a comparison of the substitution site across species and ACCase types. While isoleucine is conserved among plastidic ACCases of herbicide-susceptible grasses, leucine is found in plastidic and cytosolic forms of multifunctional herbicide-resistant ACCase.

Abstract
Tobacco plants have been developed which constitutively express high levels of the biotin-binding proteins, avidin and streptavidin. These plants were phenotypically normal and produced fertile pollen and seeds. The transgene was expressed and its product located in the vacuoles of most cell types in the plants. Targeting was achieved by use of N-terminal vacuolar targeting sequences derived from potato proteinase inhibitors which are known to target constitutively to vacuoles in potato tubers and, under wound-induction, in tomato leaves. Avidin was located in protein body-like structures within the vacuole and transgene protein levels remained relatively constant throughout the lifetime of the leaf. We describe two chimeric constructs with similar levels of expression. One comprised a potato proteinase inhibitor I signal peptide cDNA sequence attached to an avidin cDNA and the second a potato proteinase inhibitor II signal peptide genomic sequence (including an intron) attached to a core streptavidin synthetic sequence. We were unable to regenerate plants when transformation used constructs lacking the targeting sequences. The highest levels observed (up to 1.5% of total leaf protein) confirm the vacuole as the organelle of choice for stable storage of plant-toxic transgene products. The efficient targeting of these proteins did not result in any measured changes in plant biotin metabolism.

Abstract
Multi-subunit acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (MS-ACCase; EC 6.4.1.2) isolated from soybean chloroplasts is a labile enzyme that loses activity during purification. We found that incubating the chloroplast stromal fraction under anaerobic conditions or in the presence of 5 mM FeSO4 stimulated ACCase (acetyl-CoA-->malonyl-CoA) and carboxyltransferase (malonyl-CoA-->acetyl-CoA) activity. Fe-stimulation of activity was associated with 59Fe binding to a stromal protein fraction. ACCase and carboxyltransferase activities measured in the stromal protein fraction containing bound 59Fe were 2-fold and 6-fold greater, respectively, than the control (stromal fraction not pretreated with FeSO4). Superose 6 gel filtration chromatography indicated 59Fe comigrated with stromal protein of approximately 180 kDa that exhibited carboxyltransferase activity, but lacked ACCase activity. Anion exchange (Mono-Q) chromatography of the Superose 6 fraction yielded a protein peak that was enriched in carboxyltransferase activity and contained protein-bound 59Fe. Denaturing gels of the Mono-Q fraction indicated that the 180-kDa protein was composed of a 56-kDa subunit that was bound by an antibody raised against a synthetic beta-carboxyltransferase (beta-CTase) peptide. Incubation of the Mono-Q carboxyltransferase fraction with increasing concentrations of iron at a fixed substrate concentration resulted in increased initial velocities that fit well to a single rectangular three parameter hyperbola (v=vo+Vmax[FeSO4]/Km+[FeSO4]) consistent with iron functioning as a bound activator of catalysis. UV/Vis spectroscopy of the partially purified fraction before and after iron incubation yielded spectra consistent with a protein-bound metal cluster. These results suggest that the beta-CTase subunit of MS-ACCase in soybean chloroplasts is an iron-containing enzyme, which may in part explain its labile nature.

Abstract
A partial cDNA clone corresponding to the multi-functional acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase, EC 6.4.1.2) was isolated using RNA extracted from methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced common bean cell cultures. Most of this clone corresponds to the 3' untranslated region and it showed high identity to alfalfa and soybean ACCase sequences. Southern hybridization revealed one copy of this gene in the common bean genome. In addition to being induced by MeJA in cell cultures and leaves, ACCase mRNA accumulated after yeast elicitor or Pseudomonas syringae pv tabaci treatment. Inhibitors of the octadecanoid pathway severely reduced ACCase mRNA and protein accumulation induced by yeast elicitor or P. syringae pv tabaci, indicating that jasmonates or a precursor mediate ACCase induction after pathogen infection. These results provide a role for the eukaryotic ACCase during the defense response to pathogens in common bean.

Abstract
Biotin is an essential cofactor for a small number of enzymes involved mainly in the transfer of CO2 during HCO-3-dependent carboxylation reactions. This review highlights progress in plant biotin research by focusing on the four major areas of recent investigation: the structure, enzymology, and localization of two important biotinylated proteins (methylcrotonoyl-CoA carboxylase involved in the catabolism of leucine and noncyclic isoprenoids; acetyl-CoA carboxylase isoforms involved in a number of biosynthetic pathways); the biosynthesis of biotin; the biotinylation of biotin-dependent carboxylases, including the characterization of biotin holocarboxylase synthetase isoforms; and the detailed characterization of a novel, seed-specific biotinylated protein. A central challenge for plant biotin research is to determine in molecular terms how plant cells regulate the flow of biotin to sustain the biotinylation of biotin-dependent carboxylases during biosynthetic reactions.

Abstract
Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) isozymes were separated from cyclohexanedione-resistant and -susceptible maize. ACCase240 from resistant maize was 3.7-, >77-, and 12.8-fold more resistant to inhibition by clethodim, sethoxydim, and tralkoxydim, respectively, than ACCase240 from susceptible maize. The resistant ACCase240 preparation had 3.0-fold more protein and 14.5-fold lower specific activity than susceptible ACCase240. Resistant ACCase240 has a V(max) 5.5-fold lower than that of susceptible ACCase240, whereas apparent K(m) values were similar. ACCase220 from resistant maize was >25- and 7.2-fold more resistant to inhibition by sethoxydim and tralkoxydim, respectively, than susceptible ACCase220 but was inhibited to the same extent by clethodim. In summary, sethoxydim-resistant corn has an altered herbicide-resistant ACCase220 isozyme and increased expression of a less efficient, herbicide-resistant ACCase240 isozyme. However, to what extent alteration of both isozymes contributes to sethoxydim resistance is not clear.

Abstract
Three genes coding for different multifunctional acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase; EC 6.4.1.2) isoenzymes from Brassica napus were isolated and divided into two major classes according to structural features in their 5' regions: class I comprises two genes with an additional coding exon of approximately 300 bp at the 5' end, and class II is represented by one gene carrying an intron of 586 bp in its 5' untranslated region. Fusion of the peptide sequence encoded by the additional first exon of a class I ACCase gene to the jellyfish Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) and transient expression in tobacco protoplasts targeted GFP to the chloroplasts. In contrast to the deduced primary structure of the biotin carboxylase domain encoded by the class I gene, the corresponding amino acid sequence of the class II ACCase shows higher identity with that of the Arabidopsis ACCase, both lacking a transit peptide. The Arabidopsis ACCase has been proposed to be a cytosolic isoenzyme. These observations indicate that the two classes of ACCase genes encode plastidic and cytosolic isoforms of multi-functional, eukaryotic type, respectively, and that B. napus contains at least one multi-functional ACCase besides the multi-subunit, prokaryotic type located in plastids. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from B. napus, Brassica rapa, and Brassica oleracea, the ancestors of amphidiploid rapeseed, using a fragment of a multi-functional ACCase gene as a probe revealed that ACCase is encoded by a multi-gene family of at least five members.

Abstract
The steady-state kinetics of two multifunctional isoforms of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) from maize leaves (a major isoform, ACCase1 and a minor isoform, ACCase2) have been investigated with respect to reaction mechanism, inhibition by two graminicides of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate class (quizalofop and fluazifop) and some cellular metabolites. Substrate interaction and product inhibition patterns indicated that ADP and P(i) products from the first partial reaction were not released before acetyl-CoA bound to the enzymes. Product inhibition patterns did not match exactly those predicted for an ordered Ter Ter or a random Ter Ter mechanism, but were close to those postulated for an ordered mechanism. ACCase2 was about 1/2000 as sensitive as ACCase1 to quizalofop but only about 1/150 as sensitive to fluazifop. Fitting inhibition data to the Hill equation indicated that binding of quizalofop or fluazifop to ACCase1 was non-cooperative, as shown by the Hill constant (n(app)) values of 0.86 and 1.16 for quizalofop and fluazifop respectively. Apparent inhibition constant values (K' from the Hill equation) for ACCase1 were 0.054 microM for quizalofop and 21.8 microM for fluazifop. On the other hand, binding of quizalofop or fluazifop to ACCase2 exhibited positive co-operativity, as shown by the (napp) values of 1.85 and 1.59 for quizalofop and fluazifop respectively. K' values for ACCase2 were 1.7 mM for quizalofop and 140 mM for fluazifop. Kinetic parameters for the co-operative binding of quizalofop to maize ACCase2 were close to those of another multifunctional ACCase of limited sensitivity to graminicide, ACC220 from pea. Inhibition of ACCase1 by quizalofop was mixed-type with respect to acetyl-CoA or ATP, but the concentration of acetyl-CoA had the greater effect on the level of inhibition. Neither ACCase1 nor ACCase2 was appreciably sensitive to CoA esters of palmitic acid (16:0) or oleic acid (18:1). Approximate IC50 values were 10 microM (ACCase2) and 50 microM (ACCase1) for both CoA esters. Citrate concentrations up to 1 mM had no effect on ACCase1 activity. Above this concentration, citrate was inhibitory. ACCase2 activity was slightly stimulated by citrate over a broad concentration range (0.25-10 mM). The significance of possible effects of acyl-CoAs or citrate in vivo is discussed.

Abstract
In the oilseed rape Brassica napus there are two forms of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase). As in other dicotyledonous plants there is a type I ACCase, the single polypeptide 220 kDa form, and a type II multi-subunit complex analogous to that of Escherichia coli and Anabaena. This paper describes the cloning and characterization of a plant biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) from the type II ACCase complex that shows 61% identity/79% similarity with Anabaena BCCP at the amino acid level. Six classes of nuclear encoded oilseed rape BCCP cDNA were clones, two of which contained the entire coding region. The BCCP sequences allowed the assignment of function to two previously unassigned Arabidopsis expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences. We also report the cloning of a second type II ACCase component from oilseed rape, the beta-carboxyltransferase subunit (betaCT), which is chloroplast-encoded. Northern analysis showed that although the relative levels of BCCP and betaCT mRNA differed between different oilseed rape tissues, their temporal patterns of expression were identical during embryo development. At the protein level, expression of BCCP during embryo development was studied by Western blotting, using affinity-purified anti-biotin polyclonal sera. With this technique a 35 kDa protein thought to be BCCP was shown to reside within the chloroplast. This analysis also permitted us to view the differential expression of several unidentified biotinylated proteins during embryogenesis.

Abstract
Steady-state kinetics of the 220-kDa form of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC220), as purified from mature pea seeds, have been investigated with respect to the substrate specificity and inhibition by quizalofop, a herbicide of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate type. The enzyme showed a dual specificity, being able to carboxylate propionyl-CoA at a maximal rate approximately 20% that measured in the presence of the acetyl-CoA substrate. These two reactions occur at separate sites on the enzyme. One site binds either acetyl-CoA (Km = 226 microM) or propionyl-CoA (Km = 38 microM) and is strongly inhibited by quizalofop (Ki = 25 microM and 9.3 microM for the acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA substrates, respectively). The other is specific for acetyl-CoA (Km = 11 microM) and is much less inhibited by quizalofop (Ki = 256 microM). Owing to the existence of these two catalytically different sites, the enzyme obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with propionyl-CoA, but exhibited kinetic co-operativity in the presence of acetyl-CoA. Also, kinetics of propionyl-CoA carboxylase activity of ACC220 exhibited hyperbolic inhibition in the presence of quizalofop, but co-operative inhibition when following the ACC activity of the enzyme. The results suggest that the higher the substrate specificity, the lower the quizalofop sensitivity of the active site. Similar kinetic behaviour was observed with ACC220 purified from pea leaves. Also, the apparent correlation between the substrate specificity and the sensitivity of ACC towards quizalofop was confirmed by kinetic analyses of the low-molecular-mass form of ACC present in chloroplasts of young pea leaves. This enzyme was insensitive to quizalofop inhibition and was not able to carboxylate propionyl-CoA. No other propionyl-CoA carboxylase activity, different from that catalysed by ACC220, could be detected from either reproductive or vegetative organs of pea plants at any stage of development.

Abstract
cDNA fragments encoding part of wheat (Triticum aestivum) acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC; EC 6.4.1.2) were cloned by PCR using primers based on the alignment of several biotin-dependent carboxylases. A set of overlapping clones encoding the entire wheat ACC was then isolated by using these fragments as probes. The cDNA sequence contains a 2257-amino acid reading frame encoding a 251-kDa polypeptide. The amino acid sequence of the most highly conserved domain, corresponding to the biotin carboxylases of prokaryotes, is 52-55% identical to ACC of yeast, rat, and diatom. Identity with the available C-terminal amino acid sequence of maize ACC is 66%. The biotin attachment site has the typical eukaryotic EVMKM sequence. The cDNA does not encode an obvious chloroplast targeting sequence. Various cDNA fragments hybridize in Northern blots to a 7.9-kb mRNA. Southern analysis with cDNA probes revealed multiple hybridizing fragments in hexaploid wheat DNA. Some of the wheat cDNA probes also hybridize with ACC-specific DNA from other plants, indicating significant conservation among plant ACCs.

Abstract
One independent and two overlapping rape cDNA clones have been isolated from a rape embryo library. We have shown that they encode a 2.3 kb and a 2.5 kb stretch of the full-length acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) cDNA, corresponding to the biotin-binding and transcarboxylase domains respectively. Using the cDNA in Northern-blot analysis we have shown that the mRNA for ACCase has a higher level of expression in rape seed than in rape leaf and has a full length of 7.5 kb. The level of expression during rape embryogenesis was compared with both oil deposition and expression of two fatty acid synthetase components enoyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase and 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase. Levels of ACCase mRNA were shown to peak at 29 days after anthesis during embryonic development, similarly to enoyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase and 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase mRNA. In addition, a full-length genomic clone (19 kb) of Arabidopsis ACCase has been isolated and partially sequenced. Analysis of the clone has allowed the first plant ACCase activity domains (biotin carboxylase-biotin binding-transcarboxylase) to be ordered and assigned. Southern-blot analysis using the Arabidopsis clone indicates that ACCase is a single-copy gene in Arabidopsis but is encoded by a small gene family in rape.
