CsPAT1, a GRAS transcription factor, promotes lignin accumulation by antagonistic interacting with CsWRKY13 in tea plants. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 118:1312-1326. [PMID: 38319894 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.16670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Lignin is an important component of plant cell walls and plays crucial roles in the essential agronomic traits of tea quality and tenderness. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of lignin biosynthesis in tea plants remain unclear. CsWRKY13 acts as a negative regulator of lignin biosynthesis in tea plants. In this study, we identified a GRAS transcription factor, phytochrome A signal transduction 1 (CsPAT1), that interacts with CsWRKY13. Silencing CsPAT1 expression in tea plants and heterologous overexpression in Arabidopsis demonstrated that CsPAT1 positively regulates lignin accumulation. Further investigation revealed that CsWRKY13 directly binds to the promoters of CsPAL and CsC4H and suppresses transcription of CsPAL and CsC4H. CsPAT1 indirectly affects the promoter activities of CsPAL and CsC4H by interacting with CsWRKY13, thereby facilitating lignin biosynthesis in tea plants. Compared with the expression of CsWRKY13 alone, the co-expression of CsPAT1 and CsWRKY13 in Oryza sativa significantly increased lignin biosynthesis. Conversely, compared with the expression of CsPAT1 alone, the co-expression of CsPAT1 and CsWRKY13 in O. sativa significantly reduced lignin accumulation. These results demonstrated the antagonistic regulation of the lignin biosynthesis pathway by CsPAT1 and CsWRKY13. These findings improve our understanding of lignin biosynthesis mechanisms in tea plants and provide insights into the role of the GRAS transcription factor family in lignin accumulation.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated transport of soluble proteins is nature's key to empowering eukaryotic cells to access a plethora of macromolecules, either by direct accumulation or as products from resulting biochemical pathways. The transport efficiency of these mechanisms results from the receptor's capability to capture, transport, and release ligands on the one hand and the cycling ability that allows for performing multiple rounds of ligand transport on the other. However, the plant VACUOLAR SORTING RECEPTOR (VSR) protein family is diverse, and their ligand-specificity and bidirectional trafficking routes and transport mechanisms remain highly controversial. Here we employ nanobody-epitope interaction-based molecular tools to assess the function of the VSR 7 in vivo. We demonstrate the specificity of the VSR7 for sequence-specific vacuolar sorting signals, and we trace its anterograde transport and retrograde recycling route. VSR7 localizes at the cis-Golgi apparatus at steady state conditions and transports ligands downstream to release them in the trans-Golgi network/early endosome (TGN/EE) before undergoing clathrin-dependent recycling from the TGN/EE back to the cis-Golgi.

Abstract
The endomembrane system consists of various membrane-bound organelles including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network (TGN), endosomes, and the lysosome/vacuole. Membrane trafficking between distinct compartments is mainly achieved by vesicular transport. As the endomembrane compartments and the machineries regulating the membrane trafficking are largely conserved across all eukaryotes, our current knowledge on organelle biogenesis and endomembrane trafficking in plants has mainly been shaped by corresponding studies in mammals and yeast. However, unique perspectives have emerged from plant cell biology research through the characterization of plant-specific regulators as well as the development and application of the state-of-the-art microscopical techniques. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge on the plant endomembrane system, with a focus on several distinct pathways: ER-to-Golgi transport, protein sorting at the TGN, endosomal sorting on multivesicular bodies, vacuolar trafficking/vacuole biogenesis, and the autophagy pathway. We also give an update on advanced imaging techniques for the plant cell biology research.

Selection, identification and crystal structure of shark-derived single-domain antibodies against a green fluorescent protein. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125852. [PMID: 37460076 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
Shark variable domain of new antigen receptors (VNARs) are the smallest naturally occurring binding domains with properties of low complexity, small size, cytoplasmic expression, and ease of engineering. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) molecules have been analyzed in conventional microscopy, but their spectral characteristics preclude their use in techniques offering substantially higher resolution. Besides, the GFP molecules can be quenched in acidic environment, which makes it necessary to develop anti-GFP antibody to solve these problems. In view of the diverse applications of GFP and unique physicochemical features of VNAR, the present study aims to generate VNARs against GFP. Here, we identified 36 VNARs targeting eCGP123, an extremely stable GFP, by phage display from three immunized sharks. These VNARs bound to eCGP123 with affinity constant KD values ranging from 6.76 to 605 nM. Among them, two lead VNARs named aGFP-14 and aGFP-15 with nanomolar eCGP123-binding affinity were selected for in-depth characterization. aGFP-14 and aGFP-15 recognized similar epitopes on eCGP123. X-ray crystallography studies clarified the mechanism by which aGFP14 interacts with eCGP123. aGFP-14 also showed cross-reaction with EGFP, with KD values of 47.2 nM. Finally, immunostaining analyses demonstrated that aGFP-14 was able to bind effectively to the EGFP expressed in both cultured cells and mouse brain tissues, and can be used as a fluorescence amplifier for EGFP. Our research demonstrates a feasible idea for the screening and production of shark-derived VNARs. The two high-affinity VNARs developed in the study contribute to the diversity of GFP sdAbs and may enhance the applications of GFP.

Abstract
The study of endomembrane trafficking is crucial for understanding how cells and whole organisms function. Moreover, there is a special interest in investigating endomembrane trafficking in plants, given its role in transport and accumulation of seed storage proteins and in secretion of cell wall material, arguably the two most essential commodities obtained from crops. The mechanisms of anterograde transport in the biosynthetic and endocytic pathways of plants have been thoroughly discussed in recent reviews, but, comparatively, retrograde trafficking pathways have received less attention. Retrograde trafficking is essential to recover membranes, retrieve proteins that have escaped from their intended localization, maintain homeostasis in maturing compartments, and recycle trafficking machinery for its reuse in anterograde transport reactions. Here, we review the current understanding on retrograde trafficking pathways in the endomembrane system of plants, discussing their integration with anterograde transport routes, describing conserved and plant-specific retrieval mechanisms at play, highlighting contentious issues and identifying open questions for future research.

Abstract
Since the discovery of fluorescent proteins (FPs), their rich fluorescence spectra and photochemical properties have promoted widespread biological research applications. FPs can be classified into green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its derivates, red fluorescent protein (RFP) and its derivates, and near-infrared FPs. With the continuous development of FPs, antibodies targeting FPs have emerged. The antibody, a class of immunoglobulin, is the main component of humoral immunity that explicitly recognizes and binds antigens. Monoclonal antibody, originating from a single B cell, has been widely applied in immunoassay, in vitro diagnostics, and drug development. The nanobody is a new type of antibody entirely composed of the variable domain of a heavy-chain antibody. Compared with conventional antibodies, these small and stable nanobodies can be expressed and functional in living cells. In addition, they can easily access grooves, seams, or hidden antigenic epitopes on the surface of the target. This review provides an overview of various FPs, the research progress of their antibodies, particularly nanobodies, and advanced applications of nanobodies targeting FPs. This review will be helpful for further research on nanobodies targeting FPs, making FPs more valuable in biological research.

A plant-unique protein BLISTER coordinates with core retromer to modulate endosomal sorting of plasma membrane and vacuolar proteins. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2023; 120:e2211258120.

Abstract
The retromer is a heteromeric protein complex that localizes to endosomal membranes and drives the formation of endosomal tubules that recycle membrane protein cargoes. In plants, the retromer plays essential and canonical functions in regulating the transport of vacuolar storage proteins and the recycle of endocytosed plasma membrane proteins (PM); however, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of assembly, protein stability, and membrane recruitment of the plant retromer complex remain to be elucidated. In this study, we identify a plant-unique endosomal regulator termed BLISTER (BLI), which colocalizes and associates with the retromer complex by interacting with the retromer core subunits VPS35 and VPS29. Depletion of BLI perturbs the assembly and membrane recruitment of the retromer core VPS26-VPS35-VPS29 trimer. Consequently, depletion of BLI disrupts retromer-regulated endosomal trafficking function, including transport of soluble vacuolar proteins and recycling of endocytosed PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins from the endosomes back to the PM. Moreover, genetic analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants reveals BLI and core retromer interact genetically in the regulation of endosomal trafficking. Taken together, we identified BLI as a plant-specific endosomal regulator, which functions in retromer pathway to modulate the recycling of endocytosed PM proteins and the trafficking of soluble vacuolar cargoes.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) facilitate the internalization of material from the cell surface as well as the movement of cargo in post-Golgi trafficking pathways. This diversity of functions is partially provided by multiple monomeric and multimeric clathrin adaptor complexes that provide compartment and cargo selectivity. The adaptor-protein assembly polypeptide-1 (AP-1) complex operates as part of the secretory pathway at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), while the AP-2 complex and the TPLATE complex jointly operate at the plasma membrane to execute clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Key to our further understanding of clathrin-mediated trafficking in plants will be the comprehensive identification and characterization of the network of evolutionarily conserved and plant-specific core and accessory machinery involved in the formation and targeting of CCVs. To facilitate these studies, we have analyzed the proteome of enriched TGN/early endosome-derived and endocytic CCVs isolated from dividing and expanding suspension-cultured Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cells. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis results were validated by differential chemical labeling experiments to identify proteins co-enriching with CCVs. Proteins enriched in CCVs included previously characterized CCV components and cargos such as the vacuolar sorting receptors in addition to conserved and plant-specific components whose function in clathrin-mediated trafficking has not been previously defined. Notably, in addition to AP-1 and AP-2, all subunits of the AP-4 complex, but not AP-3 or AP-5, were found to be in high abundance in the CCV proteome. The association of AP-4 with suspension-cultured Arabidopsis CCVs is further supported via additional biochemical data.

Plant ESCRT protein ALIX coordinates with retromer complex in regulating receptor-mediated sorting of soluble vacuolar proteins. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2200492119.

Abstract
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery in multicellular organisms plays canonical functions in multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis and membrane protein sorting. Nonetheless, its critical role in the sorting of soluble vacuolar proteins and its interplay with endosomal recycling machinery have yet to be reported. In this study, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis ESCRT-associated ALIXinteracts with the retromer core subunitsto regulate their recruitment onto endosome membrane for recycling of vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs) for efficient sorting of soluble vacuolar proteins. This work provides molecular insights into the unique properties of ALIX in regulating vacuolar transport of soluble proteins, thus shedding new light on the crosstalk and coordination between the vacuolar trafficking and endosomal recycling pathways in plants. Vacuolar proteins play essential roles in plant physiology and development, but the factors and the machinery regulating their vesicle trafficking through the endomembrane compartments remain largely unknown. We and others have recently identified an evolutionarily conserved plant endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-associated protein apoptosis-linked gene-2 interacting protein X (ALIX), which plays canonical functions in the biogenesis of the multivesicular body/prevacuolar compartment (MVB/PVC) and in the sorting of ubiquitinated membrane proteins. In this study, we elucidate the roles and underlying mechanism of ALIX in regulating vacuolar transport of soluble proteins, beyond its conventional ESCRT function in eukaryotic cells. We show that ALIX colocalizes and physically interacts with the retromer core subunits Vps26 and Vps29 in planta. Moreover, double-mutant analysis reveals the genetic interaction of ALIX with Vps26 and Vps29 for regulating trafficking of soluble vacuolar proteins. Interestingly, depletion of ALIX perturbs membrane recruitment of Vps26 and Vps29 and alters the endosomal localization of vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs). Taken together, ALIX functions as a unique retromer core subcomplex regulator by orchestrating receptor-mediated vacuolar sorting of soluble proteins.

Abstract
Seed storage proteins (SSPs) are of great importance in plant science and agriculture, particularly in cereal crops, due to their nutritional value and their impact on food properties. During seed maturation, massive amounts of SSPs are synthesized and deposited either within protein bodies derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, or into specialized protein storage vacuoles (PSVs). The processing and trafficking of SSPs vary among plant species, tissues, and even developmental stages, as well as being influenced by SSP composition. The different trafficking routes, which affect the amount of SSPs that seeds accumulate and their composition and modifications, rely on a highly dynamic and functionally specialized endomembrane system. Although the general steps in SSP trafficking have been studied in various plants, including cereals, the detailed underlying molecular and regulatory mechanisms are still elusive. In this review, we discuss the main endomembrane routes involved in SSP trafficking to the PSV in Arabidopsis and other eudicots, and compare and contrast the SSP trafficking pathways in major cereal crops, particularly in rice and maize. In addition, we explore the challenges and strategies for analyzing the endomembrane system in cereal crops.

Structural insights into how vacuolar sorting receptors recognize the sorting determinants of seed storage proteins. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:2111281119.

Abstract
Seeds such as rice and soybean are major food staples in the human diet. During seed development, storage proteins are deposited in a specialized organelle called the protein storage vacuole and are mobilized to provide nutrients during germination. Storage proteins are transported as cargoes via specific protein–protein interactions with the vacuolar sorting receptors. Supported by structural and mutagenesis studies, our work provides insights into how the sequence-specific information, or the vacuolar sorting determinant, on the storage proteins is recognized by the vacuolar sorting receptors for their targeting to the vacuoles. Insights gained into the rules of receptor–cargo recognition will be useful in engineering recombinant proteins for biotechnological applications of the protein storage vacuoles in seeds. In Arabidopsis, vacuolar sorting receptor isoform 1 (VSR1) sorts 12S globulins to the protein storage vacuoles during seed development. Vacuolar sorting is mediated by specific protein–protein interactions between VSR1 and the vacuolar sorting determinant located at the C terminus (ctVSD) on the cargo proteins. Here, we determined the crystal structure of the protease-associated domain of VSR1 (VSR1-PA) in complex with the C-terminal pentapeptide (468RVAAA472) of cruciferin 1, an isoform of 12S globulins. The 468RVA470 motif forms a parallel β-sheet with the switch III residues (127TMD129) of VSR1-PA, and the 471AA472 motif docks to a cradle formed by the cargo-binding loop (95RGDCYF100), making a hydrophobic interaction with Tyr99. The C-terminal carboxyl group of the ctVSD is recognized by forming salt bridges with Arg95. The C-terminal sequences of cruciferin 1 and vicilin-like storage protein 22 were sufficient to redirect the secretory red fluorescent protein (spRFP) to the vacuoles in Arabidopsis protoplasts. Adding a proline residue to the C terminus of the ctVSD and R95M substitution of VSR1 disrupted receptor–cargo interactions in vitro and led to increased secretion of spRFP in Arabidopsis protoplasts. How VSR1-PA recognizes ctVSDs of other storage proteins was modeled. The last three residues of ctVSD prefer hydrophobic residues because they form a hydrophobic cluster with Tyr99 of VSR1-PA. Due to charge–charge interactions, conserved acidic residues, Asp129 and Glu132, around the cargo-binding site should prefer basic residues over acidic ones in the ctVSD. The structural insights gained may be useful in targeting recombinant proteins to the protein storage vacuoles in seeds.

Turnip mosaic virus co-opts the vacuolar sorting receptor VSR4 to promote viral genome replication in plants by targeting viral replication vesicles to the endosome. PLoS Pathog 2022; 18:e1010257.

Abstract
Accumulated experimental evidence has shown that viruses recruit the host intracellular machinery to establish infection. It has recently been shown that the potyvirus Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) transits through the late endosome (LE) for viral genome replication, but it is still largely unknown how the viral replication vesicles labelled by the TuMV membrane protein 6K2 target LE. To further understand the underlying mechanism, we studied the involvement of the vacuolar sorting receptor (VSR) family proteins from Arabidopsis in this process. We now report the identification of VSR4 as a new host factor required for TuMV infection. VSR4 interacted specifically with TuMV 6K2 and was required for targeting of 6K2 to enlarged LE. Following overexpression of VSR4 or its recycling-defective mutant that accumulates in the early endosome (EE), 6K2 did not employ the conventional VSR-mediated EE to LE pathway, but targeted enlarged LE directly from cis-Golgi and viral replication was enhanced. In addition, VSR4 can be N-glycosylated and this is required for its stability and for monitoring 6K2 trafficking to enlarged LE. A non-glycosylated VSR4 mutant enhanced the dissociation of 6K2 from cis-Golgi, leading to the formation of punctate bodies that targeted enlarged LE and to more robust viral replication than with glycosylated VSR4. Finally, TuMV hijacks N-glycosylated VSR4 and protects VSR4 from degradation via the autophagy pathway to assist infection. Taken together, our results have identified a host factor VSR4 required for viral replication vesicles to target endosomes for optimal viral infection and shed new light on the role of N-glycosylation of a host factor in regulating viral infection. A key feature of the replication of positive-strand RNA viruses is the rearrangement of the host endomembrane system to produce a membranous replication organelle. Recent reports suggest that the late endosome (LE) serves as a replication site for the potyvirus Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), but the mechanism(s) by which TuMV replication vesicles target LE are far from being fully elucidated. Identification of the host factors involved in this transport process could lead to new strategies to combat TuMV infection. In this report, we provide evidence that TuMV replication depends on functional vesicle transport from cis-Golgi to the enlarged LE pathway that is mediated by a specific VSR family member, VSR4, from Arabidopsis. Knock out of VSR4 impaired the targeting of TuMV replication vesicles to enlarged LE and suppressed viral infection, and this process depends on the specific interaction between VSR4 and the viral replication vesicle-forming protein 6K2. We also showed that N-glycosylation of VSR4 modulates the targeting of TuMV replication vesicles to enlarged LE and enhances viral infection, thus contributing to our understanding of how TuMV manipulates host factors in order to establish optimal infection. These results may have implications for the role of VSR in other positive-strand RNA viruses.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies have contributed to improving the treatment of several diseases. However, limitations related to pharmacokinetic parameters and production costs have instigated the search for alternative products. Camelids produce functional immunoglobulins G devoid of light chains and CH1 domains, in which the antigenic recognition site is formed by a single domain called VHH or nanobody. VHHs' small size and similarity to the human VH domain contribute to high tissue penetration and low immunogenicity. In addition, VHHs provide superior antigen recognition compared to human antibodies, better solubility and stability. Due to these characteristics and the possibility of obtaining gene-encoding VHHs, applications of this biological tool, whether as a monomer or in related recombinant constructs, have been reported. To ensure antibody efficacy and cost-effectiveness, strategies for their expression, either using prokaryotic or eukaryotic systems, have been utilized. Plant-based expression systems are useful for VHH related constructs that require post-translational modifications. This system has exhibited versatility, low-cost upstream production, and safety. This article presents the main advances associated to the heterologous expression of VHHs in plant systems. Besides, we show insights related to the use of VHHs as a strategy for plant pathogen control and a tool for genomic manipulation in plant systems.

Abstract
Plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is essential for regulating plant growth and various stress responses. ABA-mediated signaling depends on local ABA levels rather than the overall cellular ABA concentration. While cellular concentration of ABA can be detected using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ABA probes, direct imaging of subcellular ABA levels remains unsolved. Here, we modified the previously reported ABAleon2.1 and generated a new ABA sensor, named ABAleon2.1_Tao3. Via transient expression in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) protoplasts, we targeted ABAleon2.1_Tao3s to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane with the ABA sensing unit facing the cytosol and the ER, respectively, through a nanobody-epitope-mediated protein interaction. Combining FRET with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, ABA-triggered-specific increases in the fluorescence lifetime of the donor mTurquoise in the ABAleon2.1_Tao3 were detected in both transient assays and stably transformed Arabidopsis plants. In tobacco protoplasts, ER membrane-targeted ABAleon2.1_Tao3s showed a generally higher basal level of ABA in the ER than that in the cytosol and ER-specific alterations in the level of ABA upon environmental cues. In ABAleon2.1_Tao3-transformed Arabidopsis roots, mannitol triggered increases in cytosolic ABA in the division zone and increases in ER ABA in the elongation and maturation zone within 1 h after treatment, both of which were abolished in the bg1-2 mutant, suggesting the requirement for BG1 in osmotic stress-triggered early ABA induction in Arabidopsis roots. These data demonstrate that ABAleon2.1_Tao3s can be used to monitor ABA levels in the cytosol and the ER, providing key information on stress-induced changes in the level of ABA in different subcellular compartments.

Abstract
Identifying protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is crucial for understanding biological processes. Many PPI tools are available, yet only some function within the context of a plant cell. Narrowing down even further, only a few tools allow complex multi-protein interactions to be visualized. Here, we present a conditional in vivo PPI tool for plant research that meets these criteria. Knocksideways in plants (KSP) is based on the ability of rapamycin to alter the localization of a bait protein and its interactors via the heterodimerization of FKBP and FRB domains. KSP is inherently free from many limitations of other PPI systems. This in vivo tool does not require spatial proximity of the bait and prey fluorophores and it is compatible with a broad range of fluorophores. KSP is also a conditional tool and therefore the visualization of the proteins in the absence of rapamycin acts as an internal control. We used KSP to confirm previously identified interactions in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf epidermal cells. Furthermore, the scripts that we generated allow the interactions to be quantified at high throughput. Finally, we demonstrate that KSP can easily be used to visualize complex multi-protein interactions. KSP is therefore a versatile tool with unique characteristics and applications that complements other plant PPI methods.

Abstract
Endomembrane trafficking, which allows proteins and lipids to flow between the different endomembrane compartments, largely occurs by vesicle-mediated transport. Transmembrane proteins intended for transport are concentrated into a vesicle or carrier by undulation of a donor membrane. This is followed by vesicle scission, uncoating, and finally, fusion at the target membrane. Three major trafficking pathways operate inside eukaryotic cells: anterograde, retrograde, and endocytic. Each pathway involves a unique set of machinery and coat proteins that pack the transmembrane proteins, along with their associated lipids, into specific carriers. Adaptor and coatomer complexes are major facilitators that function in anterograde transport and in endocytosis. These complexes recognize the transmembrane cargoes destined for transport and recruit the coat proteins that help form the carriers. These complexes use either linear motifs or posttranslational modifications to recognize the cargoes, which are then packaged and delivered along the trafficking pathways. In this review, we focus on the different trafficking complexes that share a common evolutionary branch in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), and we discuss up-to-date knowledge about the cargo recognition motifs they use.

Abstract
Plant cells contain two types of vacuoles, the lytic vacuole (LV) and protein storage vacuole (PSV). LVs are present in vegetative cells, whereas PSVs are found in seed cells. The physiological functions of the two types of vacuole differ. Newly synthesized proteins must be transported to these vacuoles via protein trafficking through the endomembrane system for them to function. Recently, significant advances have been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of protein trafficking to these organelles. Despite these advances, the relationship between the trafficking mechanisms to the LV and PSV remains unclear. Some aspects of the trafficking mechanisms are common to both types of vacuole, but certain aspects are specific to trafficking to either the LV or PSV. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the components involved in protein trafficking to both the LV and PSV and compare them to examine the extent of overlap in the trafficking mechanisms. In addition, we discuss the interconnection between the LV and PSV provided by the protein trafficking machinery and the implications for the identity of these organelles.

Abstract
Transient expression using protoplasts isolated from Arabidopsis suspension culture cells is a fast and useful tool for analyzing protein subcellular localization and dynamics in plant cells. Recently, super-resolution imaging techniques such as N-SIM (Nikon, Structured Illumination Microscopy) are widely used in cell biology study, allowing cell biologists to obtain unattainable details and relationships of cell structures and functions by conventional confocal imaging. To facilitate the usage of protoplasts transient expression and super-resolution imaging for protein localization and dynamic analysis in plant cell biology research, here we describe updated protocols of protoplasts isolation from Arabidopsis suspension culture cells and transient expression assay for protein trafficking and localization study. Further, using GFP-tagged ERES (Endoplasmic Reticulum Exit Site) marker proteins and RFP-tagged Golgi marker as examples, we illustrate the major tools and methods for protein localization analysis using super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
Plant cells perceive and adapt to an ever-changing environment by modifying their plasma membrane (PM) proteome. Whereas secretion deposits new integral membrane proteins, internalization by endocytosis removes membrane proteins and associated ligands, largely with the aid of adaptor protein (AP) complexes and the scaffolding molecule clathrin. Two AP complexes function in clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the PM in plant cells, the heterotetrameric AP-2 complex and the hetero-octameric TPLATE complex (TPC). Whereas single subunit mutants in AP-2 develop into viable plants, genetic mutation of a single TPC subunit causes fully penetrant male sterility and silencing single subunits leads to seedling lethality. To address TPC function in somatic root cells, while minimizing indirect effects on plant growth, we employed nanobody-dependent delocalization of a functional, GFP-tagged TPC subunit, TML, in its respective homozygous genetic mutant background. In order to decrease the amount of functional TPC at the PM, we targeted our nanobody construct to the mitochondria and fused it to TagBFP2 to visualize it independently of its bait. We furthermore limited the effect of our delocalization to those tissues that are easily accessible for live-cell imaging by expressing it from the PIN2 promoter, which is active in root epidermal and cortex cells. With this approach, we successfully delocalized TML from the PM. Moreover, we also show co-recruitment of TML-GFP and AP2A1-TagRFP to the mitochondria, suggesting that our approach delocalized complexes, rather than individual adaptor complex subunits. In line with the specific expression domain, we only observed minor effects on root growth, yet realized a clear reduction of endocytic flux in epidermal root cells. Nanobody-dependent delocalization in plants, here exemplified using a TPC subunit, has the potential to be widely applicable to achieve specific loss-of-function analysis of otherwise lethal mutants.

Abstract
Present review summarizes the current applications of nanobodies in plant science and biotechnology, including plant expression of nanobodies, plant biotechnological applications, nanobody-based immunodetection, and nanobody-mediated resistance against plant pathogens. Nanobodies (Nbs) are variable domains of heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAbs) isolated from camelids. In spite of their single domain structure, nanobodies display many unique features, such as small size, high stability, and cryptic epitopes accessibility, which make them ideal for sophisticated applications in plants and animals. In this review, we summarize the current applications of nanobodies in plant science and biotechnology, focusing on nanobody expression in plants, plant biotechnological applications, determination of plant toxins and pathogens, and nanobody-mediated resistance against plant pathogens. Prospects and challenges of nanobody applications in plants are also discussed.

Abstract
Plant cells perceive and adapt to an ever-changing environment by modifying their plasma membrane (PM) proteome. Whereas secretion deposits new integral membrane proteins, internalization by endocytosis removes membrane proteins and associated ligands, largely with the aid of adaptor protein (AP) complexes and the scaffolding molecule clathrin. Two AP complexes function in clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the PM in plant cells, the heterotetrameric AP-2 complex and the hetero-octameric TPLATE complex (TPC). Whereas single subunit mutants in AP-2 develop into viable plants, genetic mutation of a single TPC subunit causes fully penetrant male sterility and silencing single subunits leads to seedling lethality. To address TPC function in somatic root cells, while minimizing indirect effects on plant growth, we employed nanobody-dependent delocalization of a functional, GFP-tagged TPC subunit, TML, in its respective homozygous genetic mutant background.

Abstract
Eukaryotic organisms share many common features in terms of endomembrane trafficking. This fact has helped plant scientists to propose testable hypotheses on how plant intracellular membrane trafficking is achieved and regulated based on knowledge from yeast and mammals. However, when a new compartment has been identified in a plant cell that has a vesicle tethering complex located at a position which is completely different to its counterpart in yeast and mammalian cells, caution is demanded when interpreting possible interactions with other trafficking elements. This is exemplified by the recently discovered EMAC (ER and microtubule-associated compartment). It has been postulated that this compartment is the recipient of vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs) transported retrogradely via "retromer vesicles" from a post-Golgi location. Unfortunately, this suggestion was based entirely on our knowledge of retromer from yeast and mammalian cells, and did not take into account the available literature on the composition, localization, and function of the plant retromer. It also lacked reference to recent contradictory findings on VSR trafficking. In this short article, we have tried to rectify this situation, pointing out that plant retromer may not function as a pentameric complex of two subunits: the retromer core and the sorting nexins.

Abstract
The factors and mechanisms involved in vacuolar transport in plants, and in particular those directing vesicles to their target endomembrane compartment, remain largely unknown. To identify components of the vacuolar trafficking machinery, we searched for Arabidopsis modified transport to the vacuole (mtv) mutants that abnormally secrete the synthetic vacuolar cargo VAC2. We report here on the identification of 17 mtv mutations, corresponding to mutant alleles of MTV2/VSR4, MTV3/PTEN2A MTV7/EREL1, MTV8/ARFC1, MTV9/PUF2, MTV10/VPS3, MTV11/VPS15, MTV12/GRV2, MTV14/GFS10, MTV15/BET11, MTV16/VPS51, MTV17/VPS54, and MTV18/VSR1 Eight of the MTV proteins localize at the interface between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the multivesicular bodies (MVBs), supporting that the trafficking step between these compartments is essential for segregating vacuolar proteins from those destined for secretion. Importantly, the GARP tethering complex subunits MTV16/VPS51 and MTV17/VPS54 were found at endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- and microtubule-associated compartments (EMACs). Moreover, MTV16/VPS51 interacts with the motor domain of kinesins, suggesting that, in addition to tethering vesicles, the GARP complex may regulate the motors that transport them. Our findings unveil a previously uncharacterized compartment of the plant vacuolar trafficking pathway and support a role for microtubules and kinesins in GARP-dependent transport of soluble vacuolar cargo in plants.

Abstract
Failure to complete DNA replication is a stochastic by-product of genome doubling in almost every cell cycle. During mitosis, under-replicated DNA (UR-DNA) is converted into DNA lesions, which are inherited by daughter cells and sequestered in 53BP1 nuclear bodies (53BP1-NBs). The fate of such cells remains unknown. Here, we show that the formation of 53BP1-NBs interrupts the chain of iterative damage intrinsically embedded in UR-DNA. Unlike clastogen-induced 53BP1 foci that are repaired throughout interphase, 53BP1-NBs restrain replication of the embedded genomic loci until late S phase, thus enabling the dedicated RAD52-mediated repair of UR-DNA lesions. The absence or malfunction of 53BP1-NBs causes premature replication of the affected loci, accompanied by genotoxic RAD51-mediated recombination. Thus, through adjusting replication timing and repair pathway choice at under-replicated loci, 53BP1-NBs enable the completion of genome duplication of inherited UR-DNA and prevent the conversion of stochastic under-replications into genome instability.

Abstract
The cell wall, a complex macromolecular composite structure surrounding and protecting plant cells, is essential for development, signal transduction, and disease resistance. This structure is also integral to cell expansion, as its tensile resistance is the primary balancing mechanism against internal turgor pressure. Throughout these processes, the biosynthesis, transport, deposition, and assembly of cell wall polymers are tightly regulated. The plant endomembrane system facilitates transport of polysaccharides, polysaccharide biosynthetic and modifying enzymes and glycoproteins through vesicle trafficking pathways. Although a number of enzymes involved in cell wall biosynthesis have been identified, comparatively little is known about the transport of cell wall polysaccharides and glycoproteins by the endomembrane system. This review summarizes our current understanding of trafficking of cell wall components during cell growth and cell division. Emerging technologies, such as vesicle glycomics, are also discussed as promising avenues to gain insights into the trafficking of structural polysaccharides to the apoplast.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is an essential protein modification that plays roles in many diverse biological processes including protein folding, quality control and protein interactions. Despite recent advances in characterization of the N-glycosylation and N-glycan processing machinery our understanding of N-glycosylation related processes in plant development is limited. In Arabidopsis thaliana, failure of mannose trimming from oligomannosidic N-glycans in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cis/medial-Golgi leads to a defect in root development in the mns123 triple mutant. Here, we show that the severe root phenotype of mns123 is restored in asparagine-linked glycosylation (ALG)-deficient plants with distinct defects in the biosynthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor. The root growth of these ALG-deficient plants is not affected by the α-mannosidase inhibitor kifunensine. Genetic evidence shows that the defect is uncoupled from the glycan-dependent ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway that removes misfolded glycoproteins with oligomannosidic N-glycans from the ER. Restoration of mannose trimming using a trans-Golgi targeted α-mannosidase suppresses the defect of mns123 roots. These data suggest that processing of terminal mannose residues from oligomannosidic N-glycans is important for an unknown late-Golgi or post-Golgi process that is implicated in proper root formation.
