Je S, Lee Y, Yamaoka Y. Effect of Common ER Stress-Inducing Drugs on the Growth and Lipid Phenotypes of Chlamydomonas and Arabidopsis. PLANT & CELL PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 64:392-404.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is caused by the stress-induced accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. Several compounds are used to induce the unfolded protein response (UPR) in animals, with different modes of action, but which ER stress-inducing drugs induce ER stress in microalgae or land plants is unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of seven chemicals that were reported to induce ER stress in animals on the growth, UPR gene expression and fatty acid profiles of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Chlamydomonas) and Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis): 2-deoxyglucose, dithiothreitol (DTT), tunicamycin (TM), thapsigargin, brefeldin A (BFA), monensin (MON) and eeyarestatin I. In both model photosynthetic organisms, DTT, TM, BFA and MON treatment induced ER stress, as indicated by the induction of spliced bZIP1 and bZIP60, respectively. In Chlamydomonas, DTT, TM and BFA treatment induced the production of transcripts related to lipid biosynthesis, but MON treatment did not. In Arabidopsis, DTT, TM, BFA and MON inhibited seed germination and seedling growth with the activation of bZIP60. These findings lay the foundation for using four types of ER stress-inducing drugs in photosynthetic organisms, and they help uncover the mode of action of each compound.

[PMID: 32844427 DOI: 10.1111/jmi.12957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Up-to-date imaging approaches were used to address the spatiotemporal organisation of the endomembrane system in secretory cells of Dionaea muscipula. Different 'slice and view' methodologies were performed on resin-embedded samples to finally achieve a 3D reconstruction of the cell architecture, using ultrastructural tomography, array tomography, serial block face-scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM), correlation, and volume rendering at the light microscopy level. Observations of cryo-fixed samples by high-pressure freezing revealed changes of the endomembrane system that occur after trap activation and prey digestion. They provide evidence for an original strategy that adapts the secretory machinery to a specific and unique case of stimulated exocytosis in plant cells. A first secretion peak is part of a rapid response to deliver digestive fluids to the cell surface, which delivers the needed stock of digestive materials 'on site'. The second peak of activity could then be associated with the reconstruction of the Golgi apparatus (GA), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and vacuolar machinery, in order to prepare for a subsequent round of prey capture. Tubular continuum between ER and Golgi stacks observed on ZIO-impregnated tissues may correspond to an efficient transfer mechanism for lipids and/or proteins, especially for use in rapidly resetting the molecular GA machinery. The occurrence of one vacuolar continuum may permit continuous adjustment of cell homeostasy. The subcellular features of the secretory cells of Dionaea muscipula outline key innovations in the organisation of plant cell compartmentalisation that are used to cope with specific cell needs such as the full use of the GA as a protein factory, and the ability to create protein reservoirs in the periplasmic space. Shape-derived forces of the pleiomorphic vacuole may act as signals to accompany the sorting and entering flows of the cell.

Abstract
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is the best-known stress signaling molecule in plants. ABA protects sessile land plants from biotic and abiotic stresses. The conserved pyrabactin resistance/pyrabactin resistance-like/regulatory component of ABA receptors (PYR/PYL/RCAR) perceives ABA and triggers a cascade of signaling events. A thorough knowledge of the sequential steps of ABA signaling will be necessary for the development of chemicals that control plant stress responses. The core components of the ABA signaling pathway have been identified with adequate characterization. The information available concerning ABA biosynthesis, transport, perception, and metabolism has enabled detailed functional studies on how the protective ability of ABA in plants might be modified to increase plant resistance to stress. Some of the significant contributions to chemical manipulation include ABA biosynthesis inhibitors, and ABA receptor agonists and antagonists. Chemical manipulation of key control points in ABA signaling is important for abiotic and biotic stress management in agriculture. However, a comprehensive review of the current knowledge of chemical manipulation of ABA signaling is lacking. Here, a thorough analysis of recent reports on small-molecule modulation of ABA signaling is provided. The challenges and prospects in the chemical manipulation of ABA signaling for the development of ABA-based agrochemicals are also discussed.

Abstract
The phytohormone ABA mediates many physiological and developmental responses, and its key role in plant water relations has fueled efforts to improve crop water productivity by manipulating ABA responses. ABA's core signaling components are encoded by large gene families, which has hampered functional studies using classical genetic approaches due to redundancy. Chemical approaches can complement genetic approaches and have the advantage of delivering both biological probes and potential agrochemical leads; these benefits have spawned the discovery and design of new chemical modulators of ABA signaling and biosynthesis, which have contributed to the identification of ABA receptors and helped to define PYR1 and related subfamily III receptors as key cellular targets for chemically manipulating water productivity. In this review, we provide an overview of small molecules that have helped dissect both ABA signaling and metabolic pathways. We further discuss how the insights gleaned using ABA probe molecules might be translated to improvements in crop water productivity and future opportunities for development of small molecules that affect ABA metabolism and signaling.

Abstract
Algal lipids are the focus of intensive research because they are potential sources of biodiesel. However, most algae produce neutral lipids only under stress conditions. Here, we report that treatment with Brefeldin A (BFA), a chemical inducer of ER stress, rapidly triggers lipid droplet (LD) formation in two different microalgal species, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chlorella vulgaris. LD staining using Nile red revealed that BFA-treated algal cells exhibited many more fluorescent bodies than control cells. Lipid analyses based on thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography revealed that the additional lipids formed upon BFA treatment were mainly triacylglycerols (TAGs). The increase in TAG accumulation was accompanied by a decrease in the betaine lipid diacylglyceryl N,N,N-trimethylhomoserine (DGTS), a major component of the extraplastidic membrane lipids in Chlamydomonas, suggesting that at least some of the TAGs were assembled from the degradation products of membrane lipids. Interestingly, BFA induced TAG accumulation in the Chlamydomonas cells regardless of the presence or absence of an acetate or nitrogen source in the medium. This effect of BFA in Chlamydomonas cells seems to be due to BFA-induced ER stress, as supported by the induction of three homologs of ER stress marker genes by the drug. Together, these results suggest that ER stress rapidly triggers TAG accumulation in two green microalgae, C. reinhardtii and C. vulgaris. A further investigation of the link between ER stress and TAG synthesis may yield an efficient means of producing biofuel from algae.

Abstract
The effects of two brefeldin A (BFA) analogues (BFA lactam; 6(R)-hydroxy-BFA) on plant cells were tested. Although these two compounds elicited BFA-like effects in mammalian cells, the lactam analogue failed to elicit a response in plant cells. By contrast, while the 6(R)-hydroxy-BFA analogue gave rise to a classic BFA response in tobacco mesophyll protoplasts and true leaves of Arabidopsis (redistribution of Golgi enzymes into the ER), it failed to cause the formation of BFA-compartments in Arabidopsis root cells and cotyledonary leaves. Even when the GNL1-LM mutant of Arabidopsis, which has a cis-Golgi located BFA-sensitive ARF-GEF, was used, the 6(R)-hydroxy analogue failed to elicit a response at conventional BFA concentrations. Only at concentrations of over 200 μM did 6(R)-hydroxy-BFA elicit a BFA-like effect. These differences are interpreted in terms of the different properties of the respective TGN- (Arabidopsis roots) and cis-Golgi- (tobacco mesophyll) localized BFA-sensitive ARF-GEFs.

Abstract
Sphingolipids play an essential role in the functioning of the secretory pathway in eukaryotic organisms. Their importance in the functional organization of plant cells has not been studied in any detail before. The sphingolipid synthesis inhibitor fumonisin B1 (FB1), a mycotoxin acting as a specific inhibitor of ceramide synthase, was tested for its effects on cell growth, cell polarity, cell shape, cell cycle and on the ultrastructure of BY2 cells. We used cell lines expressing different GFP-tagged markers for plant cell compartments, as well as a Golgi marker fused to the photoconvertible protein Kaede. Light and electron microscopy, combined with flow cytometry, were applied to analyse the morphodynamics and architecture of compartments of the secretory pathway. The results indicate that FB1 treatment had severe effects on cell growth and cell shape, and induced a delay in cell division processes. The cell changes were accompanied by the formation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived tubular aggregates (FB1-induced compartments), together with an inhibition of cargo transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. A change in polar localization of the auxin transporter PIN1 was also observed, but endocytic processes were little affected. Electron microscopy studies confirmed that molecular FB1 targets were distinct from brefeldin A (BFA) targets. We propose that the reported effects of inhibition of ceramide biosynthesis reflect the importance of sphingolipids during cell growth and establishment of cell polarity in higher plant cells, notably through their contribution to the functional organization of the ER or its differentiation into distinct compartments.

Abstract
The role of lipids as molecular actors of protein transport and organelle morphology in plant cells has progressed over the last years through pharmacological and genetic investigations. The manuscript is reviewing the roles of various lipid families in membrane dynamics and trafficking in eukaryotic cells, and summarizes some of the related physicochemical properties of the lipids involved. The article also focuses on the specific requirements of the sphingolipid glucosylceramide (GlcCer) in Golgi morphology and protein transport through the plant secretory pathway. The use of a specific inhibitor of plant glucosylceramide synthase and selected Arabidopsis thaliana RNAi lines stably expressing several markers of the plant secretory pathway, establishes specific steps sensitive to GlcCer biosynthesis. Collectively, data of the literature demonstrate the existence of links between protein trafficking, organelle morphology, and lipid metabolism/homeostasis in eukaryotic cells including plant cells.

Abstract
Photoactivatable and photoconvertible fluorescent proteins capable of pronounced light-induced spectral changes are a powerful addition to the fluorescent protein toolbox of the cell biologist. They permit specific tracking of one subcellular structure (organelle or cell subdomain) within a differentially labelled population. They also enable pulse-chase analysis of protein traffic. The Kaede gene codes for a tetrameric protein found in the stony coral Trachyphyllia geoffroyi, which emits green fluorescence that irreversibly shifts to red following radiation with UV or violet light. We report here the use of Kaede to explore the plant secretory pathway. Kaede versions of the Golgi marker sialyl-transferase (ST-Kaede) and of the vacuolar pathway marker cardosin A (cardA-Kaede) were engineered. Several optical devices enabling photoconversion and observation of Kaede using these two constructs were assessed to optimize Kaede-based imaging protocols. Photoconverted ST-Kaede red-labelled organelles can be followed within neighbouring populations of non-converted green Golgi stacks, by their gradual development of orange/yellow coloration from de novo synthesis of Golgi proteins (green). Results highlight some aspects on the dynamics of the plant Golgi. For plant bio-imaging, the photoconvertible Kaede offers a powerful tool to track the dynamic behaviour of designated subpopulations of Golgi within living cells, while visualizing the de novo formation of proteins and structures, such as a Golgi stack.

Abstract
An inducible system has been established in Nicotiana tabacum plants allowing controlled expression of Sar1-GTP and thus the investigation of protein dynamics after inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport. Complete Golgi disassembly and redistribution of Golgi markers into the ER was observed within 18-24h after induction. At the ultrastructural level Sar1-GTP expression led to a decrease in Golgi stack size followed by Golgi fragmentation and accumulation of vesicle remnants. Induction of Sar1-GTP resulted in redistribution of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Arabidopsis golgins AtCASP and GC1 (golgin candidate 1, an Arabidopsis golgin 84 isoform) into the ER or cytoplasm, respectively. Additionally, both fusion proteins were observed in punctate structures, which co-located with a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-tagged version of Sar1-GTP. The Sar1-GTP-inducible system is compared with constitutive Sar1-GTP expression and brefeldin A treatment, and its potential for the study of the composition of ER exit sites and early cis-Golgi structures is discussed.

Mitochondria move along cytoskeletal tracks, fuse and divide. These dynamic features have been shown to be critical for several mitochondrial functions in cell viability and cell death. After a rapid recall of the proteic machineries that are known to be involved, the review will focus on lipids, other key molecular actors of membrane dynamics. A summary of the current knowledge on lipids and their implication in various cellular membrane fusion/fission processes will be first presented. The review will then report what has been discovered or can be expected on the role of the different families of lipids in mitochondrial membrane fusion and fission processes.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA) is one of the most popular drugs used by researchers for studies on secretion and endocytosis because it interferes with specific vesicle coat proteins via action on a guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Due to its range of morphological effects on the Golgi apparatus in a variety of plant tissues, we believe that there is more to the BFA response than the primary molecular targets so far identified.

Abstract
We have recently shown that an inhibition of sterol synthesis by fenpropimorph leads to an accumulation of sterol precursors, hydroxypalmitic acid-containing glucosylceramides and detergent resistant membranes in the Golgi bodies instead of the plasma membrane, suggesting that the individual molecules or the microdomains were blocked in the Golgi. These results and others from several eukaryotic models link lipid metabolism with membrane morphodynamics that are involved in membrane trafficking. Focus has been expanded to other lipid families, and numerous evidences are given showing lipids and lipid-modifying enzymes as key regulators of membrane homeostasis which can strongly regulate membrane morphodynamics and therefore trafficking. Beside protein-based machineries, lipid-based machineries are also shown as crucial regulatory forces involved in protein transport and sorting.

Abstract
The PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins are plasma-membrane-associated facilitators of auxin transport. They are often targeted to one side of the cell only through subcellular mechanisms that remain largely unknown. Here, we have studied the potential roles of the cytoskeleton and endomembrane system in the localisation of PIN proteins. Immunocytochemistry and image analysis on root cells from Arabidopsis thaliana and maize showed that 10-30% of the intracellular PIN proteins mapped to the Golgi network, but never to prevacuolar compartments. The remaining 70-90% were associated with yet to be identified structures. The maintenance of PIN proteins at the plasma membrane depends on a BFA-sensitive machinery, but not on microtubules and actin filaments.
The polar localisation of PIN proteins at the plasmamembrane was not reflected by any asymmetric distribution of cytoplasmic organelles. In addition, PIN proteins were inserted in a symmetrical manner at both sides of the cell plate during cytokinesis. Together, the data indicate that the localisation of PIN proteins is a postmitotic event, which depends on local characteristics of the plasma membrane and its direct environment. In this context, we present evidence that microtubule arrays might define essential positional information for PIN localisation. This information seems to require the presence of an intact cell wall.

Abstract
The plant Golgi apparatus is composed of many separate stacks of cisternae which are often associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and which in many cell types are motile. In this review, we discuss the latest data on the molecular regulation of Golgi function. The concept of the Golgi as a distinct organelle is challenged and the possibility of a continuum between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi is proposed.

Abstract
The higher plant Golgi apparatus, comprising many individual stacks of membrane bounded cisternae, is one of the most enigmatic of the cytoplasmic organelles. Not only can the stacks receive material from the endoplasmic reticulum, process it and target it to the correct cellular destination, but they can also synthesise and export complex carbohydrates and lipids and most likely act as one end point of the endocytic pathway. In many cells such processing and sorting can take place while the stacks are moving within the cytoplasm and, remarkably, the organelle manages to retain its structural integrity. This review considers some of the latest data and views on transport both to and from the Golgi and the mechanisms by which such activity is regulated.

A novel inhibitor of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase in abscisic acid biosynthesis in higher plants. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2004; 135:1574-82.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major regulator in the adaptation of plants to environmental stresses, plant growth, and development. In higher plants, the ABA biosynthesis pathway involves the oxidative cleavage of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoids, which may be the key regulatory step in the pathway catalyzed by 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED). We developed a new inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis targeting NCED and named it abamine (ABA biosynthesis inhibitor with an amine moiety). Abamine is a competitive inhibitor of NCED, with a Ki of 38.8 microm. In 0.4 m mannitol solution, which mimics the effects of osmotic stress, abamine both inhibited stomatal closure in spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves, which was restored by coapplication of ABA, and increased luminescence intensity in transgenic Arabidopsis containing the RD29B promoter-luciferase fusion. The ABA content of plants in 0.4 m mannitol was increased approximately 16-fold as compared with that of controls, whereas 50 to 100 microm abamine inhibited about 50% of this ABA accumulation in both spinach leaves and Arabidopsis. Abamine-treated Arabidopsis was more sensitive to drought stress and showed a significant decrease in drought tolerance than untreated Arabidopsis. These results suggest that abamine is a novel ABA biosynthesis inhibitor that targets the enzyme catalyzing oxidative cleavage of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoids. To test the effect of abamine on plants other than Arabidopsis, it was applied to cress (Lepidium sativum) plants. Abamine enhanced radicle elongation in cress seeds, which could be due to a decrease in the ABA content of abamine-treated plants. Thus, it is possible to think that abamine should enable us to elucidate the functions of ABA in cells or plants and to find new mutants involved in ABA signaling.

Abstract
9-cis-Epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED), a key enzyme in abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis, cleaves the olefinic double bond of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid. Several analogues of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) were designed and synthesized, and their efficacy as inhibitors of NCED was examined. One of the synthesized compounds (20) was found to be an inhibitor of this enzyme, and inhibited ABA accumulation and stomatal closing, suggesting that 20 should be ABA biosynthesis inhibitor.

Abstract
This paper examines the molecular machinery involved in membrane exchange within the plant endomembrane system. A study has been undertaken on beta-COP-like proteins in plant cells using M3A5, an antibody raised against the conserved sequence of mammalian beta-COP proteins. In mammalian cells, beta-COP proteins are part of a complex named the coatomer, which probably recruits some specific areas of the endomembrane system. Immunofluorescence analyses by confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that beta-COP-like proteins marked predominantly the plant Golgi apparatus. Other proteins known to be part of a potential machinery for COPI vesicle formation (gamma-COP, beta'-COP and Arf1 proteins) were immunolocalized on the same membraneous structures as beta-COP. Moreover, beta-COP and other COPI antibodies stained the cell plate in dividing cells. It is further shown that, in maize root cells, and in contrast to observations upon mammalian cells, the drug Brefeldin A (BFA) does not induce the release of beta-COP and Arf1 proteins from the Golgi membrane into the cytosol. These data clearly demonstrate that the antibody M3A5 is a valuable marker for studies on trafficking events in plant cells. They also report for the first time the location of COP components in plant tissue at the light level, especially on a model well known for secretion, i.e. the maize root cells. They also suggest that the membrane recruitment machinery may function in a plant-specific way.
