Abstract
Calcium ion (Ca2+) is a multifaceted signaling molecule that acts as an important second messenger. During the course of evolution, plants and animals have developed Ca2+ signaling in order to respond against diverse stimuli, to regulate a large number of physiological and developmental pathways. Our understanding of Ca2+ signaling and its components in physiological phenomena ranging from lower to higher organisms, and from single cell to multiple tissues has grown exponentially. The generation of Ca2+ transients or signatures for various stress factor is a well-known mechanism adopted in plant and animal systems. However, the decoding of such remarkable signatures is an uphill task and is always an interesting goal for the scientific community. In the past few decades, studies on the concentration and dynamics of intracellular Ca2+ are significantly increasing and have become a trend in modern biology. The advancement in approaches from Ca2+ binding dyes to in vivo Ca2+ imaging through the use of Ca2+ biosensors to achieve spatio-temporal resolution in micro and milliseconds range, provide us phenomenal opportunities to study live cell Ca2+ imaging or dynamics. Here, we describe the usage, improvement and advancement of Ca2+ based dyes, genetically encoded probes and sensors to achieve extraordinary Ca2+ imaging in plants and animals. Graphical abstract

Lapshin NK, Piotrovskii MS, Trofimova MS. Involvement of plasma membrane H +-ATPase in diamide-induced extracellular alkalization by roots from pea seedlings. PLANTA 2021; 253:10. [PMID: 33389194 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-020-03532-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION The plasma membrane H+-ATPase can be considered as a redox-dependent enzyme, because diamide-mediated inhibition of its hydrolytic and transport activities is accompanied by alkalization of the rhizosphere and retardation of root growth. Plasma membranes were isolated from roots of etiolated pea seedlings treated in the presence of an oxidant-diamide and an inhibitor of redox-sensitive protein phosphatase-phenylarsine oxide. Hydrolytic and proton transport activities of H+-ATPase were determined. The effects of diamide appeared in inhibition of both ATP hydrolysis and the proton transport. However, root treatment with phenylarsine oxide only slightly reduced Vmax, but did not affect ATP-dependent proton transport. The thiol groups of cysteines in the proteins can act as molecular targets for both compounds. However, treatment of isolated membranes with diamide or dithiothreitol did not have any effect on the H+ transport. It can be assumed that water-soluble diamide acts indirectly and its effects are not associated with oxidation of H+-ATPase cysteines. Therefore, plasmalemma was subjected to PEGylation-process where reduced cysteines available for PEG maleimide (5 kDa) were alkylated. Detection of such cysteines was carried out by Western blot analysis with anti-ATPase antibodies. It was found that shifts in the apparent molecular weight were detected only for denaturated proteins. These data suggest that available thiols are not localized on the enzyme surfaces. BN-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weights of the ATPase complexes are almost identical in all samples. Therefore, oligomerization is probably not the reason for the inhibition of ATPase activity. Roots treated with these inhibitors in vivo exhibited stunted growth; however, a strong alkaline zone around the roots was formed only in the presence of diamide. Involvement of H+-ATPase redox regulation in this process is discussed.

Purification and characterization of ZmRIP1, a novel reductant-inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase from maize. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2012; 159:671-81.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) have long been thought to be activated by reductants and deactivated by oxidants, owing to the presence of a crucial sulfhydryl group in their catalytic centers. In this article, we report the purification and characterization of Reductant-Inhibited PTPase1 (ZmRIP1) from maize (Zea mays) coleoptiles, and show that this PTPase has a unique mode of redox regulation and signaling. Surprisingly, ZmRIP1 was found to be deactivated by a reductant. A cysteine (Cys) residue (Cys-181) near the active center was found to regulate this unique mode of redox regulation, as mutation of Cys-181 to arginine-181 allowed ZmRIP1 to be activated by a reductant. In response to oxidant treatment, ZmRIP1 was translocated from the chloroplast to the nucleus. Expression of ZmRIP1 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants and maize protoplasts altered the expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in antioxidant catabolism, such as At1g02950, which encodes a glutathione transferase. Thus, the novel PTPase identified in this study is predicted to function in redox signaling in maize.

In vivo influence of cyanobacterial toxins on enzyme activity and gene expression of protein phosphatases in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Toxicon 2008; 52:84-90. [PMID: 18620722 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2008.04.172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2007] [Revised: 04/11/2008] [Accepted: 04/14/2008] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Irrigation of crop plants with surface water can be a threat if cyanobacterial toxins are present in the water. Cyanotoxins are known to cause adverse effects in plants. Microcystin (MC), a cyclic heptapeptide, with more than 70 structural variants, is a frequently occurring toxin. MC is a specific inhibitor of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1 and 2A), important regulatory enzymes in eukaryotic cells. Protein phosphatases consist of a catalytic subunit and one or more regulatory subunits. In Alfalfa several isoforms of the catalytic subunit of PP1 (MsPP1alpha, MsPP1beta, MsPP1gamma, MsPP1delta, MsPP1varepsilon) and PP2A (MsPP2A Calpha/beta/gamma) are known along with isoforms of the regulatory subunits of PP2A (MsPP2A Aalpha/beta, MsPP2A Balpha/beta). The in vivo effect of environmentally relevant concentrations of cyanobacterial components on the mRNA transcript level of the subunits of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) was examined using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Plants were exposed for one week to 5 microg L(-1) microcystin-LR, microcystin-LW, okadaic acid and to cell-free cyanobacterial crude extracts from Microcystis aeruginosa containing 5 microg L(-1) microcystin-LR and a toxin-free crude extract from Synechocystis spp. The protein phosphatase activity in vivo was inhibited when exposed to toxins and crude extract containing microcystin-LR, no change was induced by Synechocystis crude extract. The gene expression of the MsPP1gamma subunit and the MsPP1varepsilon subunit was induced in plants exposed to MC-LW.
