In Vivo Phosphorylation of the Cytosolic Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Isozyme G6PD6 in Phosphate-Resupplied Arabidopsis thaliana Suspension Cells and Seedlings. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:31. [PMID: 38202338 PMCID: PMC10780934 DOI: 10.3390/plants13010031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) catalyzes the first committed step of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP). Our recent phosphoproteomics study revealed that the cytosolic G6PD6 isozyme became hyperphosphorylated at Ser12, Thr13 and Ser18, 48 h following phosphate (Pi) resupply to Pi-starved (-Pi) Arabidopsis thaliana cell cultures. The aim of the present study was to assess whether G6PD6 phosphorylation also occurs in shoots or roots following Pi resupply to -Pi Arabidopsis seedlings, and to investigate its relationship with G6PD activity. Interrogation of phosphoproteomic databases indicated that N-terminal, multi-site phosphorylation of G6PD6 and its orthologs is quite prevalent. However, the functions of these phosphorylation events remain unknown. Immunoblotting with an anti-(pSer18 phosphosite-specific G6PD6) antibody confirmed that G6PD6 from Pi-resupplied, but not -Pi, Arabidopsis cell cultures or seedlings (i.e., roots) was phosphorylated at Ser18; this correlated with a significant increase in extractable G6PD activity, and biomass accumulation. Peptide kinase assays of Pi-resupplied cell culture extracts indicated that G6PD6 phosphorylation at Ser18 is catalyzed by a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), which correlates with the 'CDPK-like' targeting motif that flanks Ser18. Our results support the hypothesis that N-terminal phosphorylation activates G6PD6 to enhance OPPP flux and thus the production of reducing power (i.e., NADPH) and C-skeletons needed to establish the rapid resumption of growth that ensures Pi-resupply to -Pi Arabidopsis.

Substrate profiling of the Arabidopsis Ca 2+-dependent protein kinase AtCPK4 and its Ricinus communis ortholog RcCDPK1. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 331:111675. [PMID: 36931565 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2023.111675] [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: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
AtCPK4 and AtCPK11 are Arabidopsis thaliana Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) paralogs that have been reported to positively regulate abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction by phosphorylating ABA-responsive transcription factor-4 (AtABF4). By contrast, RcCDPK1, their closest Ricinus communis ortholog, participates in the control of anaplerotic carbon flux in developing castor oil seeds by catalyzing inhibitory phosphorylation of bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase at Ser451. LC-MS/MS revealed that AtCPK4 and RcCDPK1 transphosphorylated several common, conserved residues of AtABF4 and its castor ortholog, TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR ABA REGULATON. Arabidopsis atcpk4/atcpk11 mutants displayed an ABA-insensitive phenotype that corroborated the involvement of AtCPK4/11 in ABA signaling. A kinase-client assay was employed to identify additional AtCPK4/RcCDPK1 targets. Both CDPKs were separately incubated with a library of 2095 peptides representative of Arabidopsis protein phosphosites; five overlapping targets were identified including PLANT INTRACELLULAR RAS-GROUP-RELATED LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT PROTEIN-9 (AtPIRL9) and the E3-ubiquitin ligase ARABIDOPSIS TOXICOS EN LEVADURA 6 (AtATL6). AtPIRL9 and AtATL6 residues phosphorylated by AtCPK4/RcCDPK1 conformed to a CDPK recognition motif that was conserved amongst their respective orthologs. Collectively, this study provides evidence for novel AtCPK4/RcCDPK1 substrates, which may help to expand regulatory networks linked to Ca2+- and ABA-signaling, immune responses, and central carbon metabolism.

Glycine-Induced Phosphorylation Plays a Pivotal Role in Energy Metabolism in Roots and Amino Acid Metabolism in Leaves of Tea Plant. Foods 2023; 12:foods12020334. [PMID: 36673426 PMCID: PMC9858451 DOI: 10.3390/foods12020334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Phosphorylation is the most extensive post-translational modification of proteins and thus regulates plant growth. However, the regulatory mechanism of phosphorylation modification on the growth of tea plants caused by organic nitrogen is still unclear. In order to explore the phosphorylation modification mechanism of tea plants in response to organic nitrogen, we used glycine as the only nitrogen source and determined and analyzed the phosphorylated proteins in tea plants by phosphoproteomic analysis. The results showed that the phosphorylation modification induced by glycine-supply played important roles in the regulation of energy metabolism in tea roots and amino acid metabolism in tea leaves. In roots, glycine-supply induced dephosphorylation of proteins, such as fructose-bisphosphate aldolase cytoplasmic isozyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, resulted in increased intensity of glycolysis and decreased intensity of tricarboxylic acid cycle. In leaves, the glycine-supply changed the phosphorylation levels of glycine dehydrogenase, aminomethyltransferase, glutamine synthetase, and ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase, which accelerated the decomposition of glycine and enhanced the ability of ammonia assimilation. In addition, glycine-supply could improve the tea quality by increasing the intensity of amino acids, such as theanine and alanine. This research clarified the important regulatory mechanism of amino acid nitrogen on tea plant growth and development through protein phosphorylation.

Molecular Characterization Reveals the Involvement of Calcium Dependent Protein Kinases in Abiotic Stress Signaling and Development in Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum). FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:831265. [PMID: 35498712 PMCID: PMC9039462 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.831265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are a major group of calcium (Ca2+) sensors in plants. CDPKs play a dual function of "Ca2+ sensor and responder." These sensors decode the "Ca2+ signatures" generated in response to adverse growth conditions such as drought, salinity, and cold and developmental processes. However, knowledge of the CDPK family in the legume crop chickpea is missing. Here, we have identified a total of 22 CDPK genes in the chickpea genome. The phylogenetic analysis of the chickpea CDPK family with other plants revealed their evolutionary conservation. Protein homology modeling described the three-dimensional structure of chickpea CDPKs. Defined arrangements of α-helix, β-strands, and transmembrane-helix represent important structures like kinase domain, inhibitory junction domain, N and C-lobes of EF-hand motifs. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that CaCDPK proteins are localized mainly at the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Most of the CaCDPK promoters had abiotic stress and development-related cis-regulatory elements, suggesting the functional role of CaCDPKs in abiotic stress and development-related signaling. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) expression analysis indicated the role of the CaCDPK family in various developmental stages, including vegetative, reproductive development, senescence stages, and during seed stages of early embryogenesis, late embryogenesis, mid and late seed maturity. The real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that several CaCDPK genes are specifically as well as commonly induced by drought, salt, and Abscisic acid (ABA). Overall, these findings indicate that the CDPK family is probably involved in abiotic stress responses and development in chickpeas. This study provides crucial information on the CDPK family that will be utilized in generating abiotic stress-tolerant and high-yielding chickpea varieties.

Abstract
Nighttime warming poses a threat to global food security as it is driving yield declines worldwide, but our understanding of the physiological basis of this phenomenon remains very limited. Furthermore, it is often assumed that such declines are driven solely by increases in nighttime temperature (TNight). Here we argue that, in addition to temperature, increases in nighttime evaporative demand may 'conspire' to penalize yields and end-use quality traits. We propose an ecophysiological framework outlining the possible mechanistic basis of such declines in yield and quality. We suggest ways to use the proposed framework as a guide to future efforts aimed at alleviating productivity losses by integrating crop ecophysiology with modeling, breeding, and management.

Abstract
Glycolysis is a central feature of metabolism and its regulation plays important roles during plant developmental and stress responses. Recent advances in proteomics and mass spectrometry have documented extensive and dynamic post-translational modifications (PTMs) of most glycolytic enzymes in diverse plant tissues. Protein PTMs represent fundamental regulatory events that integrate signalling and gene expression with cellular metabolic networks, and can regulate glycolytic enzyme activity, localization, protein:protein interactions, moonlighting functions, and turnover. Serine/threonine phosphorylation and redox PTMs of cysteine thiol groups appear to be the most prevalent forms of reversible covalent modification involved in plant glycolytic control. Additional PTMs including monoubiquitination also have important functions. However, the molecular functions and mechanisms of most glycolytic enzyme PTMs remain unknown, and represent important objectives for future studies.

Abstract
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) play vital roles in the regulation of plant growth, development, and tolerance to various abiotic stresses. However, little information is available for this gene family in banana. In this study, 44 CDPKs were identified in banana and were classified into four groups based on phylogenetic, gene structure, and conserved motif analyses. The majority of MaCDPKs generally exhibited similar expression patterns in the different tissues. Transcriptome analyses revealed that many CDPKs showed strong transcript accumulation at the early stages of fruit development and postharvest ripening in both varieties. Interaction network and co-expression analysis further identified some CDPKs-mediated network that was potentially active at the early stages of fruit development. Comparative expression analysis suggested that the high levels of CDPK expression in FJ might be related to its fast ripening characteristic. CDPK expression following the abiotic stress treatments indicated a significant transcriptional response to osmotic, cold, and salt treatment, as well as differential expression profiles, between BX and FJ. The findings of this study elucidate the transcriptional control of CDPKs in development, ripening, and the abiotic stress response in banana. Some tissue-specific, development/ripening-dependent, and abiotic stress-responsive candidate MaCDPK genes were identified for further genetic improvement of banana.

Abstract
Effects of different potassium (K) levels, which were K0 (no fertilizer), K1 (71.5 g KCl plant-1 year-1), K2 (286.7 g KCl plant-1 year-1), and K3 (434 g KCl plant-1 year-1), were evaluated based on sugar and organic acid metabolism levels from 70-126 days after bloom (DAB) in the developing fruit of potted five-year-old apple (Malus domestica, Borkh.) trees. The results indicate that K fertilization promoted greater fruit mass, higher Ca2+ and soluble solid levels, and lower titratable acid levels, as well as increased pH values at harvest. With the application of different levels of K fertilizer, fructose, sorbitol, glucose and sucrose accumulation rates significantly changed during fruit development. Fruit in the K2 group had higher fructose, sucrose and glucose levels than those in other treatment groups at 126 DAB. These changes in soluble sugar are related to the activity of metabolic enzymes. Sucrose synthase (SS) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in the K2 treated fruit was significantly higher than those in other treatment groups from 70-126 DAB. Malate levels in K-supplemented fruit were notably lower than those in non K-supplemented fruit, and K3 treated fruit had the lowest malate levels during fruit development. Cytosolic malic enzyme (ME) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) activity significantly increased in fruit under the K2 treatment during 112-126 DAB and 98-126 DAB, respectively. In addition, Ca2+ concentration increased with increasing K fertilization levels, which promoted a maximum of 11.72 mg g-1 dry weight in apple fruit. These results show that K levels can alter soluble sugar and malate levels due to the interaction between sugars and acid-metabolic enzymes in fruit.

Abstract
In plants, trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) is a key signaling metabolite that functions as both a signal and negative feedback regulator of sucrose levels. The mode of action by which T6P senses and regulates sucrose is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that the sucrolytic activity of RcSUS1, the dominant sucrose synthase isozyme expressed in developing castor beans, is allosterically inhibited by T6P. The feedback inhibition of SUS by T6P may contribute to the control of sink strength and sucrolytic flux in heterotrophic plant tissues.

Abstract
The sucrose synthase (SUS) interactome of developing castor oilseeds (COS; Ricinus communis) was assessed using coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) with anti-(COS RcSUS1)-IgG followed by proteomic analysis. A 41-kDa polypeptide (p41) that coimmunoprecipitated with RcSUS1 from COS extracts was identified as reversibly glycosylated polypeptide-1 (RcRGP1) by LC-MS/MS and anti-RcRGP1 immunoblotting. Reciprocal Far-western immunodot blotting corroborated the specific interaction between RcSUS1 and RcRGP1. Co-IP using anti-(COS RcSUS1)-IgG and clarified extracts from other developing seeds as well as cluster (proteoid) roots of white lupin and Harsh Hakea consistently recovered 90 kDa SUS polypeptides along with p41/RGP as a SUS interactor. The results suggest that SUS interacts with RGP in diverse sink tissues to channel UDP-glucose derived from imported sucrose into hemicellulose and/or glycoprotein/glycolipid biosynthesis.
