Regulatory Aspects of the Vacuolar CAT2 Arginine Transporter of S. lycopersicum: Role of Osmotic Pressure and Cations. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20040906. [PMID: 30791488 PMCID: PMC6413183 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20040906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 02/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Many proteins are localized at the vacuolar membrane, but most of them are still poorly described, due to the inaccessibility of this membrane from the extracellular environment. This work focused on the characterization of the CAT2 transporter from S. lycopersicum (SlCAT2) that was previously overexpressed in E. coli and reconstituted in proteoliposomes for transport assay as [3H]Arg uptake. The orientation of the reconstituted transporter has been attempted and current data support the hypothesis that the protein is inserted in the liposome in the same orientation as in the vacuole. SlCAT2 activity was dependent on the pH, with an optimum at pH 7.5. SlCAT2 transport activity was stimulated by the increase of internal osmolality from 0 to 175 mOsmol while the activity was inhibited by the increase of external osmolality. K+, Na+, and Mg2+ present on the external side of proteoliposomes at physiological concentrations, inhibited the transport activity; differently, the cations had no effect when included in the internal proteoliposome compartment. This data highlighted an asymmetric regulation of SlCAT2. Cholesteryl hemisuccinate, included in the proteoliposomal membrane, stimulated the SlCAT2 transport activity. The homology model of the protein was built using, as a template, the 3D structure of the amino acid transporter GkApcT. Putative substrate binding residues and cholesterol binding domains were proposed. Altogether, the described results open new perspectives for studying the response of SlCAT2 and, in general, of plant vacuolar transporters to metabolic and environmental changes.

Proteomic analysis of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum leaf microsomal fractions finds an imbalance in V-ATPase stoichiometry during the salt-induced transition from C3 to CAM.

Abstract
The halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum adapts to salt stress by salt uptake and switching from C3 photosynthesis to CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism). An important role in this process is played by transport proteins in the tonoplast of the central vacuole. In the present study we examine dynamic changes in the protein composition during salt-stress adaptation in microsomes from M. crystallinum leaves. Plants challenged with 400 mM NaCl accumulate salt by day 4 of treatment and malic acid only at day 12; a switching to CAM hence follows any initial steps of salt adaptation with a delay. Using a label-free and semiquantitative approach, we identified the most dramatic changes between the proteome of control plants and plants harvested after 12 days of the treatment; the abundance of 14 proteins was significantly affected. The proteomic data revealed that the majority of the subunits of V-ATPase (vacuolar H(+)-ATPase) holoenzyme. The salt treatment somewhat decreased the abundance of all subunits in the short term (4 days). Long-term adaptation, including the switching to CAM, goes together with a strong increase in the representation of all detectable subunits. Because this increase is subunit-specific, with the highest rise occurring for subunits E and c, the data suggest that long-term adaptation to salt stress correlates with a change in V-ATPase subunit stoichiometry and highlight the structural plasticity of this holoenzyme.

Abstract
The presence of isogenes encoding V-ATPase subunits seems to be a characteristic for plants. Twenty-eight genes encode for the 13 different subunits in Arabidopsis thaliana, 23 genes each are known in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and can be identified in rice (Oryza sativa), respectively. In Arabidopsis the four subunits VHA-B, -E, -G and -a are encoded by three isogenes each. The transcript levels of these subunits were analysed by in silico evaluation of transcript pattern derived from the NASC-array database and exemplarily confirmed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. A tissue specifity was observed for the isoforms of VHA-E and VHA-G, whereas expression of VHA-a isoforms appeared independent of the tissue. Inflicting environmental stresses upon plants resulted in differentiated expression patterns of VHA-isoforms. Whereas salinity had minor effect on the expression of V-ATPase genes in A. thaliana, heat and drought stress led to alterations in transcript amount and preference of isoforms. Correlation analysis identified two clusters of isoforms, which were co-regulated on the transcript level.

Abstract
We report an analysis of salt-stress responses in the monocotyledonous halophyte Festuca rubra ssp. litoralis. Salt-dependent expression of transcripts encoding a PIP2;1 aquaporin, V-ATPase subunit B, and the Na+/H+ antiporter NHX was characterized. Transcription of FrPIP2;1, FrVHA-B, and FrNHX1 was induced in root tissue of F. rubra ssp. litoralis by salt treatment, and during salt-stress F. rubra ssp. litoralis accumulated sodium in leaves and roots. Cell specificity of FrPIP2;1, FrVHA-B, and FrNHX1 transcription was analyzed by in situ PCR in roots of F. rubra ssp. litoralis. Expression of the genes was localized to the root epidermis, cortex cells, endodermis, and the vascular tissue. In plants treated with 500 mM NaCl, transcripts were repressed in the epidermis and the outer cortex cells, whereas endodermis and vasculature showed strong signals. These data demonstrate that transcriptional regulation of the aquaporin PIP2;1, V-ATPase, and the Na+/H+ antiporter NHX is correlated with salt tolerance in F. rubra ssp. litoralis and suggests coordinated control of ion homeostasis and water status at high salinity in plants. Salt-induced transcript accumulation in F. rubra ssp. litoralis was further monitored by cDNA-arrays with expressed sequence tags derived from a cDNA subtraction library. The salt-regulated transcripts included those involved in the control of gene expression and signal transduction elements such as a serine/threonine protein kinase, an SNF1-related protein kinase, and a WRKY-type transcription factor. Other ESTs with salt-dependent regulation included transcripts encoding proteins that function in metabolism, general stress responses, and defense and transport proteins.

Abstract
The root microsomal proteomes of salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive wheat lines under salt stress were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrum. A wheat V-H(+)-ATPase E subunit protein was obtained whose expression was enhanced by salt stress. In silicon cloning identified the full-length cDNA sequences of nine subunits and partial cDNA sequences of two subunits of wheat V-H(+)-ATPase. The expression profiles of these V-H(+)-ATPase subunits in roots and leaves of both salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive wheat lines under salt and abscisic acid (ABA) stress were analyzed. The results indicate that the coordinated enhancement of the expression of V-H(+)-ATPase subunits under salt and ABA stress is an important factor determining improved salt tolerance in wheat. The expression of these subunits was tissue-specific. Overexpression of the E subunit by transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana was able to enhance seed germination, root growth and adult seedling growth under salt stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plants respond to extracellularly perceived abiotic stresses such as low temperature, drought, and salinity by activation of complex intracellular signaling cascades that regulate acclimatory biochemical and physiological changes. Protein kinases are major signal transduction factors that have a central role in mediating acclimation to environmental changes in eukaryotic organisms. In this study, we characterized the function of the sucrose nonfermenting 1-related protein kinase2 (SnRK2) SAPK4 in the salt stress response of rice. RESULTS Translational fusion of SAPK4 with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) showed subcellular localization in cytoplasm and nucleus. To examine the role of SAPK4 in salt tolerance we generated transgenic rice plants with over-expression of rice SAPK4 under control of the CaMV-35S promoter. Induced expression of SAPK4 resulted in improved germination, growth and development under salt stress both in seedlings and mature plants. In response to salt stress, the SAPK4-overexpressing rice accumulated less Na+ and Cl- and showed improved photosynthesis. SAPK4-regulated genes with functions in ion homeostasis and oxidative stress response were identified: the vacuolar H+-ATPase, the Na+/H+ antiporter NHX1, the Cl- channel OsCLC1 and a catalase. CONCLUSION Our results show that SAPK4 regulates ion homeostasis and growth and development under salinity and suggest function of SAPK4 as a regulatory factor in plant salt stress acclimation. Identification of signaling elements involved in stress adaptation in plants presents a powerful approach to identify transcriptional activators of adaptive mechanisms to environmental changes that have the potential to improve tolerance in crop plants.

Abstract
Lobularia maritima (Brassicaceae) is a facultative halophyte related to Arabidopsis thaliana and may be a suitable model to identify molecular mechanisms that regulate tolerance to salt stress in plants. Under the same salt stress conditions, the accumulation of sodium was similar in shoots and roots of Lobularia maritima and Arabidopsis thaliana, whereas the sodium to potassium ratio was less in Lobularia maritima. Aquaporins, the NHX-type Na(+)/H(+) antiporter, and the vacuolar ATPase are well established targets of regulation under salt stress that have a central role in the control of water status and cytoplasmic sodium homeostasis. Therefore, salt-dependent expression of transcripts encoding a PIP2;1 aquaporin, the Na(+)/H(+) antiporter NHX, and V-ATPase subunit E (VHA-E) was characterized in Lobularia maritima. Transcription of LmPIP2;1 was repressed in leaves and roots by treatment with 500mM NaCl. In contrast, salt stress stimulated the expression of LmNHX1 and LmVHA-E. Cell-specificity of the transcription of LmNHX1 was analyzed by fluorescence in situ PCR in leaf cross sections of Lobularia maritima. Expression of the gene was localized to the phloem and to mesophyll cells. In plants treated with 500 mM NaCl, transcription of LmNHX1 was stimulated in the mesophyll. The findings indicate divergent transcriptional responses of key mechanisms of salt adaptation in Lobularia maritima and suggest distinct regulation of sodium homeostasis and water flux under salt stress.

Abstract
The salt overly sensitive (SOS) pathway is critical for plant salt stress tolerance and has a key role in regulating ion transport under salt stress. To further investigate salt tolerance factors regulated by the SOS pathway, we expressed an N-terminal fusion of the improved tandem affinity purification tag to SOS2 (NTAP-SOS2) in sos2-2 mutant plants. Expression of NTAP-SOS2 rescued the salt tolerance defect of sos2-2 plants, indicating that the fusion protein was functional in vivo. Tandem affinity purification of NTAP-SOS2-containing protein complexes and subsequent liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis indicated that subunits A, B, C, E, and G of the peripheral cytoplasmic domain of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) were present in a SOS2-containing protein complex. Parallel purification of samples from control and salt-stressed NTAP-SOS2/sos2-2 plants demonstrated that each of these V-ATPase subunits was more abundant in NTAP-SOS2 complexes isolated from salt-stressed plants, suggesting that the interaction may be enhanced by salt stress. Yeast two-hybrid analysis showed that SOS2 interacted directly with V-ATPase regulatory subunits B1 and B2. The importance of the SOS2 interaction with the V-ATPase was shown at the cellular level by reduced H+ transport activity of tonoplast vesicles isolated from sos2-2 cells relative to vesicles from wild-type cells. In addition, seedlings of the det3 mutant, which has reduced V-ATPase activity, were found to be severely salt sensitive. Our results suggest that regulation of V-ATPase activity is an additional key function of SOS2 in coordinating changes in ion transport during salt stress and in promoting salt tolerance.

Abstract
The model plant tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was chosen for a survey of the subunit composition of the V-ATPase at the protein level. V-ATPase was purified from tobacco leaf cell tonoplasts by solubilization with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 and immunoprecipitation. In the purified fraction 12 proteins were present. By matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and amino acid sequencing 11 of these polypeptides could be identified as subunits A, B, C, D, F, G, c, d and three different isoforms of subunit E. The polypeptide which could not be identified by MALDI analysis might represent subunit H. The data presented here, for the first time, enable an unequivocal identification of V-ATPase subunits after gel electrophoresis and open the possibility to assign changes in polypeptide composition to variations in respective V-ATPase subunits occurring as a response to environmental conditions or during plant development.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase acidifies intracellular compartments and is essential for many processes, including cotransport, guard cell movement, development, and tolerance to environmental stress. We have identified at least 26 genes encoding subunits of the vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, although inconsistent nomenclature of these genes is confusing. The pump consists of subunits A through H of the peripheral V(1) complex, and subunits a, c, c" and d of the V(o) membrane sector. Most V(1) subunits are encoded by a single gene, whereas V(o) subunits are encoded by multiple genes found in duplicated segments of the genome. We propose to name these genes VHA-x, where x represents the letter code for each subunit. Applying a consistent nomenclature will help us to understand how the expression, assembly and activity of this pump are integrated with plant growth, signaling, development and adaptation.

Abstract
Two electrogenic H(+)-pumps, the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) and the vacuolar pyrophosphatase, coexist at membranes of the secretory pathway of plants. The V-ATPase is the dominant H(+)-pump at endomembranes of most plant cells, both in terms of protein amount and, frequently, also in activity. The V-ATPase is indispensable for plant growth under normal conditions due to its role in energizing secondary transport, maintenance of solute homeostasis and, possibly, in facilitating vesicle fusion. Under stress conditions such as salinity, drought, cold, acid stress, anoxia, and excess heavy metals in the soil, survival of the cells depends strongly on maintaining or adjusting the activity of the V-ATPase. Regulation of gene expression and activity are involved in adapting the V-ATPase on long- and short-term bases. The mechanisms known to regulate the V-ATPase are summarized in this paper with an emphasis on their implications for growth and development under stress.

Abstract
The plant vacuolar proton pump can be subjected to reversible redox regulation in vitro. The redox-dependent activity change involves disulfide bridge formation not only in Vatp A, as reported for bovine V-ATPase, but also in the stalk subunit Vatp E. Microsomal membranes isolated from barley leaves were analysed for their activity of bafilomycin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis and proton pumping using quinacrine fluorescence quenching in vesicle preparations. ATP hydrolysis and proton pumping activity were inhibited by H2O2. H2O2-deactivated ATPase was reactivated by cysteine and glutathione. The glutathione concentration needed for half maximal reactivation was 1 mmol l-1. The activity loss was accompanied by shifts in electrophoretic mobility of Vatp A and E which were reversed upon reductive reactivation. The redox-dependent shift was also seen with recombinant Vatp E, and was absent following site-directed mutagenesis of either of the two cys residues conserved throughout all plant Vatp E sequences. V-ATPase was also inhibited by oxidized thioredoxin. These results support the hypothesis that tuning of vacuolar ATPase activity can be mediated by redox control depending on the metabolic requirements.

Abstract
Vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) consists of a catalytic head, a stalk part and a membrane domain. We indirectly investigated the interaction between the A subunit (catalytic head) and the E subunit (stalk part) using an ATP analogue, adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino]triphosphate (AMP-PNP), which holds the enzyme in the substrate-binding state. AMP-PNP treatment caused a mobility shift of the E subunit with a faster migration in SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis without a reductant, while ATP treatment did not. A mobility shift of the E subunit has been detected in several plants. As polypeptides with intramolecular disulfide bonds migrate faster than those without disulfide bonds, the mobility shift may be due to the formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond by two cysteine residues conserved among several plant species. The mobility shift may be involved in the binding of AMP-PNP to the ATP-binding site, which exists in the A and B subunits, as it was inhibited by the addition of ATP. Pretreatment with 2'-3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP (Bz-ATP), which modifies the ATP-binding site of the B subunit under UV illumination, did not inhibit the mobility shift of the E subunit caused by AMP-PNP treatment. The response of V-ATPase following the AMP-PNP binding may cause a conformational change in the E subunit into a form that is susceptible to oxidation of cysteine residues. This is the first demonstration of interaction between the A and E subunits in the substrate-binding state of a plant V-ATPase.

Abstract
Regulation of the contents and volume of vacuoles in plant cells depends on the coordinated activities of transporters and channels located in the tonoplast (vacuolar membrane). The three major components of the tonoplast are two proton pumps, the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) and H+-pyrophosphatase (V-PPase), and aquaporins. The tertiary structure of the V-ATPase complex and properties of its subunits have been characterized by biochemical and genetic techniques. These studies and a comparison with the F-type ATPase have enabled estimation of the dynamics of V-ATPase activity during catalysis. V-PPase, a simple proton pump, has been identified and cloned from various plant species and other organisms, such as algae and phototrophic bacteria, and functional motifs of the enzyme have been determined. Aquaporin, serving as the water channel, is the most abundant protein in the tonoplast in most plants. A common molecular architecture of aquaporins in mammals and plants has been determined by two-dimensional crystallographic analysis. Furthermore, recent molecular biological studies have revealed several other types of tonoplast transporters, such as the Ca2+-ATPase, Ca2+/H+ antiporter and Na+/H+ antiporter. Many other transporters and channels in the tonoplast remain to be identified; their activities have already been detected. This review presents an overview of the field and discusses recent findings on the tonoplast protein components that have been identified and their physiological consequences.

Abstract
For salinity stress tolerance in plants, the vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is of prime importance in energizing sodium sequestration into the central vacuole and it is known to respond to salt stress with increased expression and enzyme activity. In this work we provide information that the expressional response to salinity of the V-ATPase is regulated tissue and cell specifically under developmental control in the facultative halophyte common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum). By transcript analysis of subunit E of the V-ATPase, amounts did not change in response to salinity stress in juvenile plants that are not salt-tolerant. In a converse manner, in halotolerant mature plants the transcript levels increased in leaves, but not in roots when salt stressed for 72 h. By in situ hybridizations and immunocytological protein analysis, subunit E was shown to be synthesized in all cell types. During salt stress, signal intensity declined in root cortex cells and in the cells of the root vascular cylinder. In salt-stressed leaves of mature plants, the strongest signals were localized surrounding the vasculature. Within control cells and with highest abundance in mesophyll cells of salt-treated leaves, accumulation of subunit E protein was observed in the cytoplasm, indicating its presence not only in the tonoplast, but also in other endoplasmic compartments.

Abstract
Plant vacuoles are complex and dynamic organelles. Important advances have been made in our understanding of the transporters present in the tonoplast and of the molecular interactions that allow targeting to vacuoles. Despite these advances, markers that permit vacuoles to be defined unambiguously have not yet been identified.

Abstract
The plant V-ATPase is a primary-active proton pump present at various components of the endomembrane system. It is assembled by different protein subunits which are located in two major domains, the membrane-integral V(o)-domain and the membrane peripheral V(1)-domain. At the plant vacuole the V-ATPase is responsible for energization of transport of ions and metabolites, and thus the V-ATPase is important as a 'house-keeping' and as a stress response enzyme. It has been shown that transcript and protein amount of the V-ATPase are regulated depending on metabolic conditions indicating that the expression of V-ATPase subunit is highly regulated. Moreover, there is increasing evidence that modulation of the holoenzyme structure might influence V-ATPase activity.

Abstract
Immunoblot analyses and partial amino acid sequencings revealed that both the 40- (E1) and 37-kDa (E2) subunits of V-ATPase in the pea epicotyl were E subunit isoforms. Similarly, both the 35- (D1) and 29-kDa (D2) subunits were D subunit isoforms, although the similarity of the amino acid sequences is still unknown. In immunoblot analyses, two or three E subunit isoforms with molecular masses ranging from 29 to 40 kDa were detected in other plants. Two isotypes of V-ATPase from the pea epicotyl were separated by ion exchange chromatography and had subunit compositions differing only in the ratio of E1 and E2. There was a difference in the V(max) and K(m) of ATP hydrolysis between the two isotypes. E1 was scarcely detected in crude membrane fractions from the leaf and cotyledon, while E2 was detected in fractions from all of the tissues examined. The compositions of D subunit isoforms in the leaf and epicotyl were different, and the vacuolar membrane in the leaf did not contain D2. The efficiency of H(+) pumping activity in the vacuolar membrane of the leaf was higher than that of the epicotyl. The results suggest that the presence of the isoforms of D and E subunits is characteristic to plants and that the isoforms are closely related to the enzymatic properties.
