Kim J, Woo Sung Y, Yang JW, Jung Nam K, Lee KL, Shim D, Kim YH. Genetic variations underlying root-knot nematode resistance in sweetpotato. Gene 2024; 931:148895. [PMID: 39187137 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) causes severe crop damage and large economic losses worldwide. Several cultivars of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam)] have been developed with root-knot nematode-resistant traits; however, many of these cultivars do not have favorable agronomic characteristics. To understand the genetic traits underlying M. incognita resistance in sweetpotato, whole genome resequencing was conducted on three RKN-susceptible (Dahomi, Shinhwangmi, and Yulmi) and three RKN-resistant (Danjami, Pungwonmi, and Juhwangmi) sweetpotato cultivars. Three SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in promotor sequences were shared in RKN-resistant cultivars and were correlated with disease resistance. One of these SNPs was located in G6617|TU10904, which encoded a homolog of RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN EL15Z, and was associated with reduced expression in RKN-resistant cultivars only. Alongside SNP analysis, mRNA-seq data were analyzed for the same cultivars with and without nematode infection, and 18 nematode-sensitive genes were identified that responded in a cultivar-specific manner. Of these genes, expression of G8735|TU14367 was lower in sensitive cultivars than in RKN-resistant cultivars. Overall, this study identified two genes that potentially have key roles in the regulation of nematode resistance and will be useful targets for nematode resistance breeding programs.

Kinase CPK10 regulates low light-induced tomato flower drop downstream of IDL6 in a calcium-dependent manner. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2024:kiae406. [PMID: 39218791 DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiae406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Flower drop is a major cause for yield loss in many crops. Previously, we found that tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION-Like (SlIDL6) contributes to flower drop induced by low light. However, the molecular mechanisms by which SlIDL6 acts as a signal to regulate low light-induced abscission remain unclear. In this study, SlIDL6 was found to elevate cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]cyt) in the abscission zone (AZ), which was required for SlIDL6-induced flower drop under low light. We further identified that one calcium-dependent protein kinase gene (SlCPK10) was highly expressed in the AZ and up-regulated by SlIDL6-triggered [Ca2+]cyt. Over-expression and knockout of SlCPK10 in tomato resulted in accelerated and delayed abscission, respectively. Genetic evidence further indicated that knockout of SlCPK10 significantly impaired the function of SlIDL6 in accelerating abscission. Furthermore, Ser-371 phosphorylation in SlCPK10 dependent on SlIDL6 was necessary and sufficient for its function in regulating flower drop, probably by stabilizing the SlCPK10 proteins. Taken together, our findings reveal that SlCPK10, as a downstream component of the IDL6 signaling pathway, regulates flower drop in tomato under low light stress.

Abstract
Micronutrients like iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), boron (B), nickel (Ni), and molybdenum (Mo) perform significant roles in the regulation of plant metabolism, growth, and development. Micronutrients, namely Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, and Ni, are involved in oxidative stress and antioxidant defense as they are cofactors or activators of various antioxidant enzymes, viz., superoxide dismutase (Fe, Cu/Zn, Mn, and Ni), catalase (Fe), and ascorbate peroxidase (Fe). An effort has been made to incorporate recent advances along with classical work done on the micronutrient deficiency-induced oxidative stress and associated antioxidant responses of plants. Deficiency of a micronutrient produces ROS in the cellular compartments. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense systems are often modulated by micronutrient deficiency to regulate redox balance and scavenge deleterious ROS for the safety of cellular constituents. ROS can strike cellular constituents such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and can destruct cellular membranes and proteins. ROS might act as a signaling molecule and activate the antioxidant proteins by interacting with signaling partners such as respiratory burst oxidase homolog (RBOH), G-proteins, Ca2+, mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and various transcription factors (TFs). Opinions on probable ROS signaling under micronutrient deficiency have been described in this review. However, further research is required to decipher micronutrient deficiency-induced ROS generation, perception, and associated downstream signaling events, leading to the development of antioxidant responses in plants.

Curr Biol 2024; 34:3102-3115.e6. [PMID: 38944035 DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2024.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
By modulating stomatal opening and closure, plants control gas exchange, water loss, and photosynthesis in response to various environmental signals. During light-induced stomatal opening, the transport of ions and solutes across the plasma membrane (PM) of the surrounding guard cells results in an increase in turgor pressure, leading to cell swelling. Simultaneously, vesicles for exocytosis are delivered via membrane trafficking to compensate for the enlarged cell surface area and maintain an appropriate ion-channel density in the PM. In eukaryotic cells, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor adaptor protein receptors (SNAREs) mediate membrane fusion between vesicles and target compartments by pairing the cognate glutamine (Q)- and arginine (R)-SNAREs to form a core SNARE complex. Syntaxin of plants 121 (SYP121) is a known Q-SNARE involved in stomatal movement, which not only facilitates the recycling of K+ channels to the PM but also binds to the channels to regulate their activity. In this study, we found that the expression of a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, low-K+ sensitive 4/schengen 1 (LKS4/SGN1), was induced by light; it directly interacted with SYP121 and phosphorylated T270 within the SNARE motif. Further investigation revealed that LKS4-dependent phosphorylation of SYP121 facilitated the interaction between SYP121 and R-SNARE vesicle-associated membrane protein 722 (VAMP722), promoting the assembly of the SNARE complex. Our findings demonstrate that the phosphorylation of SNARE proteins is an important strategy adopted by plants to regulate the SNARE complex assembly as well as membrane fusion. Additionally, we discovered the function of LKS4/SGN1 in light-induced stomatal opening via the phosphorylation of SYP121.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION Knowledge of Ca2+-ATPases is imperative for improving crop quality/ food security, highly threatened due to global warming. Ca2+-ATPases modulates calcium, essential for stress signaling and modulating growth, development, and immune activities. Calcium is considered a versatile secondary messenger and essential for short- and long-term responses to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Coordinated transport activities from both calcium influx and efflux channels are required to generate cellular calcium signals. Various extracellular stimuli cause an induction in cytosolic calcium levels. To cope with such stresses, it is important to maintain intracellular Ca2+ levels. Plants need to evolve efficient efflux mechanisms to maintain Ca2+ ion homeostasis. Plant Ca2+-ATPases are members of the P-type ATPase superfamily and localized in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). They are required for various cellular processes, including plant growth, development, calcium signaling, and even retorts to environmental stress. These ATPases play an essential role in Ca2+ homeostasis and are actively involved in Ca2+ transport. Plant Ca2+-ATPases are categorized into two major classes: type IIA and type IIB. Although these two classes of ATPases share similarities in protein sequence, they differ in their structure, cellular localization, and sensitivity to inhibitors. Due to the emerging role of Ca2+-ATPase in abiotic and biotic plant stress, members of this family may help promote agricultural improvement under stress conditions. This review provides a comprehensive overview of P-type Ca2+-ATPase, and their role in Ca2+ transport, stress signaling, and cellular homeostasis focusing on their classification, evolution, ion specificities, and catalytic mechanisms. It also describes the main aspects of the role of Ca2+-ATPase in transducing signals during plant biotic and abiotic stress responses and its role in plant development and physiology.

Abstract
P-type ATPase family members play important roles in plant growth and development and are involved in plant resistance to various biotic and abiotic factors. Extensive studies have been conducted on the P-type ATPase gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana and rice but our understanding in potato remains relatively limited. Therefore, this study aimed to screen and analyze 48 P-type ATPase genes from the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genome database at the genome-wide level. Potato P-type ATPase genes were categorized into five subgroups based on the phylogenetic classification of the reported species. Additionally, several bioinformatic analyses, including gene structure analysis, chromosomal position analysis, and identification of conserved motifs and promoter cis-acting elements, were performed. Interestingly, the plasma membrane H+-ATPase (PM H+-ATPase) genes of one of the P3 subgroups showed differential expression in different tissues of potato. Specifically, PHA2, PHA3, and PHA7 were highly expressed in the roots, whereas PHA8 was expressed in potatoes only under stress. Furthermore, the small peptide Pep13 inhibited the expression of PHA1, PHA2, PHA3, and PHA7 in potato roots. Transgenic plants heterologously overexpressing PHA2 displayed a growth phenotype sensitive to Pep13 compared with wild-type plants. Further analysis revealed that reducing potato PM H+-ATPase enzyme activity enhanced resistance to Pep13, indicating the involvement of PM H+-ATPase in the physiological process of potato late blight and the enhancement of plant disease resistance. This study confirms the critical role of potato PHA2 in resistance to Pep13.

PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL 2024; 22:1101-1112.

Abstract
Nodulins and nodulin-like proteins play an essential role in the symbiotic associations between legumes and Rhizobium bacteria. Their role extends beyond the leguminous species, as numerous nodulin-like proteins, including early nodulin-like proteins (ENODL), have been identified in various non-leguminous plants, implying their involvement in functions beyond nodulation, such as nutrient transport and growth modulation. Some ENODL proteins have been associated with plant defense against pathogens, as evident in banana infected with Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) causing banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease. Nonetheless, the specific role of ENODL in plant defense remains to be fully elucidated. The MusaENODL3 gene was found to be repressed in BXW-resistant banana progenitor 'Musa balbisiana' and 20-fold upregulated in BXW-susceptible cultivar 'Gonja Manjaya' upon early infection with Xcm. To further unravel the role of the ENODL gene in disease resistance, the CRISPR/Cas9 system was employed to disrupt the MusaENODL3 gene in 'Gonja Manjaya' precisely. Analysis of the enodl3 edited events confirmed the accurate manipulation of the MusaENODL3 gene. Disease resistance and gene expression analysis demonstrated that editing the MusaENODL3 gene resulted in resistance to BXW disease, with 50% of the edited plants remaining asymptomatic. The identification and manipulation of the MusaENODL3 gene highlight its potential as a critical player in plant-pathogen interactions, offering new opportunities for enhancing disease resistance in crops like banana, an important staple food crop and source of income for resource-poor farmers in the tropics. This study provides the first evidence of the direct role of the ENODL3 gene in developing disease-resistant plants.

Abstract
The Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is one of the most devastating insect pests of cereals including wheat, barley, and rye. Although wheat is the preferred host for HF, this continuously evolving pest has been emerging as a threat to barley production. However, characterization and identification of genetic resistance to HF has not been conducted in barley. In the present study, we used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify barley resistance loci to HF using a geographically diverse set of 234 barley accessions. The results showed that around 90% of barley lines were highly susceptible, indicating a significant vulnerability to HF in barley, and a total of 29 accessions were resistant, serving as potential resistance resources. GWAS with a mixed linear model revealed two marker-trait associations, both on chromosome 4H. The resistance loci and associated markers will facilitate barley improvement and development for breeders. In addition, our results are fundamental for genetic studies to understand the HF resistance mechanism in barley.

Abstract
The green leaf volatiles (GLVs) Z-3-hexen-1-ol (Z3-HOL) and Z-3-hexenyl acetate (Z3-HAC) are airborne infochemicals released from damaged plant tissues that induce defenses and developmental responses in receiver plants, but little is known about their mechanism of action. We found that Z3-HOL and Z3-HAC induce similar but distinctive physiological and signaling responses in tomato seedlings and cell cultures. In seedlings, Z3-HAC showed a stronger root growth inhibition effect than Z3-HOL. In cell cultures, the two GLVs induced distinct changes in MAP kinase (MAPK) activity and proton fluxes as well as rapid and massive changes in the phosphorylation status of proteins within 5 min. Many of these phosphoproteins are involved in reprogramming the proteome from cellular homoeostasis to stress and include pattern recognition receptors, a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, MAPK cascade components, calcium signaling proteins and transcriptional regulators. These are well-known components of damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) signaling pathways. These rapid changes in the phosphoproteome may underly the activation of defense and developmental responses to GLVs. Our data provide further evidence that GLVs function like DAMPs and indicate that GLVs coopt DAMP signaling pathways.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a versatile intracellular second messenger that regulates several signaling pathways involved in growth, development, stress tolerance, and immune response in plants. Autoinhibited Ca2+-ATPases (ACAs) play an important role in the regulation of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Here, we systematically analyzed the putative OsACA family members in rice, and according to the phylogenetic tree of OsACAs, OsACA9 was clustered into a separated branch in which its homologous gene in Arabidopsis thaliana was reported to be involved in defense response. When the OsACA9 gene was knocked out by CRISPR/Cas9, significant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected in the mutant lines. Meanwhile, the OsACA9 knock out lines showed enhanced disease resistance to both rice bacterial blight (BB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS). In addition, compared to the wild-type (WT), the mutant lines displayed an early leaf senescence phenotype, and the agronomy traits of their plant height, panicle length, and grain yield were significantly decreased. Transcriptome analysis by RNA-Seq showed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between WT and the Osaca9 mutant were mainly enriched in basal immune pathways and antibacterial metabolite synthesis pathways. Among them, multiple genes related to rice disease resistance, receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) and cell wall-associated kinases (WAKs) genes were upregulated. Our results suggest that the Ca2+-ATPase OsACA9 may trigger oxidative burst in response to various pathogens and synergically regulate disease resistance and leaf senescence in rice.

Abstract
The microbe-associated molecular pattern flg22 is recognized in a flagellin-sensitive 2-dependent manner in root tip cells. Here, we show a rapid and massive change in protein abundance and phosphorylation state of the Arabidopsis root cell proteome in WT and a mutant deficient in heterotrimeric G-protein-coupled signaling. flg22-induced changes fall on proteins comprising a subset of this proteome, the heterotrimeric G protein interactome, and on highly-populated hubs of the immunity network. Approximately 95% of the phosphorylation changes in the heterotrimeric G-protein interactome depend, at least partially, on a functional G protein complex. One member of this interactome is ATBα, a substrate-recognition subunit of a protein phosphatase 2A complex and an interactor to Arabidopsis thaliana Regulator of G Signaling 1 protein (AtRGS1), a flg22-phosphorylated, 7-transmembrane spanning modulator of the nucleotide-binding state of the core G-protein complex. A null mutation of ATBα strongly increases basal endocytosis of AtRGS1. AtRGS1 steady-state protein level is lower in the atbα mutant in a proteasome-dependent manner. We propose that phosphorylation-dependent endocytosis of AtRGS1 is part of the mechanism to degrade AtRGS1, thus sustaining activation of the heterotrimeric G protein complex required for the regulation of system dynamics in innate immunity. The PP2A(ATBα) complex is a critical regulator of this signaling pathway.

Abstract
Small secreted proteins play an important role in plant development, as well as in reactions to changes in the environment. In Arabidopsis thaliana, they are predominantly members of highly expanded families, such as the pathogenesis-related (PR) 1-like protein family, whose most studied member PR1 is involved in plant defense responses by a so far unknown mechanism, or Clavata3/Endosperm Surrounding Region (CLE) protein family, whose members' functions in the development are well described. Our survey of the existing literature for the two families showed a lack of details on their localization, trafficking, and exocytosis. Therefore, in order to uncover the modes of their secretion, we tested the hypothesis that a direct link between the secreted cargoes and the secretion regulators such as Rab GTPases, SNAREs, and exocyst subunits could be established using in silico co-expression and clustering approaches. We employed several independent techniques to uncover that only weak co-expression links could be found for limited numbers of secreted cargoes and regulators. We propose that there might be particular spatio-temporal requirements for PR1 and CLE proteins to be synthesized and secreted, and efforts to experimentally cover these discrepancies should be invested along with functional studies.

Abstract
Oxidative burst, the rapid production of high levels of reactive oxygen species in response to external stimuli, is an early defense reaction against pathogens. The fungal elicitor chitosan causes an oxidative burst in the moss Physcomitrium patens (formerly Physcomitrella patens), mainly due to the peroxidase enzyme Prx34. To better understand the chitosan responses in P. patens, we conducted a screen of part of a P. patens mutant collection to isolate plants with less peroxidase activity than wild-type (WT) plants after chitosan treatment. We isolated a P. patens mutant that affected the gene encoding NAD(P)-binding Rossmann fold protein (hereafter, Rossmann fold protein). Three Rossmann fold protein-knockout (KO) plants (named Rossmann fold KO lines) were generated and used to assess extracellular peroxidase activity and expression of defense-responsive genes, including alternative oxidase, lipoxygenase (LOX), NADPH oxidase, and peroxidase (Prx34) in response to chitosan treatment. Extracellular (apoplastic) peroxidase activity was significantly lower in Rossmann fold KO lines than in WT plants after chitosan treatments. Expression of the LOX gene in Rossmann fold KO plants was significantly lower before and after chitosan treatment when compared with WT. Peroxidase activity assays together with gene expression analyses suggest that the Rossmann fold protein might be an important component of the signaling pathway leading to oxidative burst and basal expression of the LOX gene in P. patens.

Abstract
Casein kinase 1 (CK1) is serine/threonine protein kinase highly conserved among eukaryotes, and regulates multiple developmental and signaling events through phosphorylation of target proteins. Arabidopsis early flowering 1 (EL1)-like (AELs) are plant-specific CK1s with varied functions, but identification and validation of their substrates is a major bottleneck in elucidating their physiological roles. Here, we conducted a quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis in data-independent acquisition mode to systematically identify CK1 substrates. We extracted proteins from seedlings overexpressing individual AEL genes (AEL1/2/3/4-OE) or lacking AEL function (all ael single mutants and two triple mutants) to identify the high-confidence phosphopeptides with significantly altered abundance compared to wild-type Col-0. Among these, we selected 3985 phosphopeptides with higher abundance in AEL-OE lines or lower abundance in ael mutants compared with Col-0 as AEL-upregulated phosphopeptides, and defined 1032 phosphoproteins. Eight CK1s substrate motifs were enriched among AEL-upregulated phosphopeptides and verified, which allowed us to predict additional candidate substrates and functions of CK1s. We functionally characterized a newly identified substrate C3H17, a CCCH-type zinc finger transcription factor, through biochemical and genetic analyses, revealing a role for AEL-promoted C3H17 protein stability and transactivation activity in regulating embryogenesis. As CK1s are highly conserved across eukaryotes, we searched the rice, mouse, and human protein databases using newly identified CK1 substrate motifs, yielding many more candidate substrates than currently known, largely expanding our understanding of the common and distinct functions exerted by CK1s in Arabidopsis and humans, facilitating future mechanistic studies of CK1-mediated phosphorylation in different species.

Abstract
Phloem is a critical tissue for transport of photosynthates and extracellular signals in vascular plants. However, it also represents an ideal environment for pathogens seeking access to valuable host nutrients. Although many vascular pathogens induce economically relevant crop damage, there is still little known about the mechanisms by which immune signaling operates through the phloem. An existing phosphoproteomic dataset was mined to identify proteins that were both phosphorylated in response to the defense-elicitor flagellin (flg22) and expressed in vascular cells. A single candidate, OCTOPUS (OPS), is polarly associated with the plasma membrane of sieve element cells and has been characterized as an inhibitor of brassinosteroid insensitive-2 in promotion of brassinosteroid-related phytohormone signaling. The observation that OPS is differentially phosphorylated in response to flg22 led us to the examine whether OPS may also regulate flg22-induced immune signaling. Two independent alleles of ops exhibited enhanced immunity outputs across multiple signaling branches of PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI), constitutively and in response to flg22 treatment. Together with our observation that interactions between OPS and brassinosteroid insensitive-2 were disrupted by induction of salicylic acid and depletion of brassinosteriod, these data support a model whereby OPS modulates brassinolide and immune signaling to control downstream responses. We present OPS as a novel addition to the list of proteins with documented roles in PAMP-PTI signaling. These results further indicate that immune signaling in the phloem may be a significant and unique component of the host detection and response to pathogens in vascular plants.

Abstract
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are plasma membrane-localised proteins that sense molecular patterns to initiate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) function downstream of PRRs to propagate signal transduction via the phosphorylation of substrate proteins. The identification and characterisation of RLCK-regulated substrate proteins are critical for our understanding of plant immunity. We showed that SHOU4 and SHOU4L are rapidly phosphorylated upon various patterns elicitation and are indispensable for plant resistance to bacterial and fungal pathogens. Protein-protein interaction and phosphoproteomic analysis revealed that BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE 1, a prominent protein kinase of RLCK subfamily VII (RLCK-VII), interacted with SHOU4/4L and phosphorylated multiple serine residues on SHOU4L N-terminus upon pattern flg22 treatment. Neither phospho-dead nor phospho-mimic SHOU4L variants complemented pathogen resistance and plant development defect of the loss-of-function mutant, suggesting that reversible phosphorylation of SHOU4L is critical to plant immunity and plant development. Co-immunoprecipitation data revealed that flg22 induced SHOU4L dissociation from cellulose synthase 1 (CESA1) and that a phospho-mimic SHOU4L variant inhibited the interaction between SHOU4L and CESA1, indicating the link between SHOU4L-mediated cellulose synthesis and plant immunity. This study thus identified SHOU4/4L as new components of PTI and preliminarily revealed the mechanism governing SHOU4L regulation by RLCKs.

Abstract
Remorins, plant-specific proteins, have a significant role in conferring on plants the ability to adapt to adverse environments. However, the precise function of remorins in resistance to biological stress remains largely unknown. Eighteen CaREM genes were identified in pepper genome sequences based on the C-terminal conserved domain that is specific to remorin proteins in this research. Phylogenetic relations, chromosomal localization, motif, gene structures, and promoter regions of these remorins were analyzed and a remorin gene, CaREM1.4, was cloned for further study. The transcription of CaREM1.4 in pepper was induced by infection with Ralstonia solanacearum. Knocking down CaREM1.4 in pepper using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technologies reduced the resistance of pepper plants to R. solanacearum and downregulated the expression of immunity-associated genes. Conversely, transient overexpression of CaREM1.4 in pepper and Nicotiana benthamiana plants triggered hypersensitive response-mediated cell death and upregulated expression of defense-related genes. In addition, CaRIN4-12, which interacted with CaREM1.4 at the plasma membrane and cell nucleus, was knocked down with VIGS, decreasing the susceptibility of Capsicum annuum to R. solanacearum. Furthermore, CaREM1.4 reduced ROS production by interacting with CaRIN4-12 upon co-injection in pepper. Taken together, our findings suggest that CaREM1.4 may function as a positive regulator of the hypersensitive response, and it interacts with CaRIN4-12, which negatively regulates plant immune responses of pepper to R. solanacearum. Our study provides new evidence for comprehending the molecular regulatory network of plant cell death.

Abstract
The exporter of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), ABCG36/PDR8/PEN3, from the model plant Arabidopsis has recently been proposed to also function in the transport of the phytoalexin camalexin. Based on these bonafide substrates, it has been suggested that ABCG36 functions at the interface between growth and defense. Here, we provide evidence that ABCG36 catalyzes the direct, ATP-dependent export of camalexin across the plasma membrane. We identify the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase, QIAN SHOU KINASE1 (QSK1), as a functional kinase that physically interacts with and phosphorylates ABCG36. Phosphorylation of ABCG36 by QSK1 unilaterally represses IBA export, allowing camalexin export by ABCG36 conferring pathogen resistance. As a consequence, phospho-dead mutants of ABCG36, as well as qsk1 and abcg36 alleles, are hypersensitive to infection with the root pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, caused by elevated fungal progression. Our findings indicate a direct regulatory circuit between a receptor kinase and an ABC transporter that functions to control transporter substrate preference during plant growth and defense balance decisions.

Abstract
Plant diseases seriously damage crop production, and most plant diseases are caused by fungi. Fungal cell walls contain chitin, a highly conserved component that is widely recognised by plants as a PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular pattern) to induce defence responses. The molecular mechanisms that function downstream of chitin-triggered intracellular phosphorylation remain largely unknown. In this study, we performed quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis to study protein phosphorylation changes in the plasma membrane after chitin treatment in Arabidopsis thaliana L. seedlings. Proteins with altered phosphorylation status after chitin treatment participated in biological processes ranging from signalling, localisation, and transport, to biogenesis, processing, and metabolism, suggesting that PAMP signalling targets multiple processes to coordinate the immune response. These results provide important insights into the molecular mechanism of chitin-induced plant immunity.

Abstract
The development of a series of elite maize hybrids has greatly increased crop yield in the past decades. Parental lines of these hybrids usually come from different heterotic groups and contain many genetic differences. Identifications of important quantitative trait genes in the elite hybrids can extend our understanding of heterosis and also help to guide genetic improvement. Here, we mapped a major quantitative trait locus using a linkage population from an elite maize hybrid Zhengdan958 and identified ZmLNG1 as the causative gene controlling multiple morphologic traits in maize. A 6-kb deletion in one parental line of the hybrid leads to the fusion of ZmLNG1 with its nearby gene. The fusion event prevents the C-terminal of ZmLNG1 from interacting with ZmTON1, which resulted in the change of plant architecture. Further experiments demonstrated that ZmLNG1 could act as a mediator to connect ZmTON1 and ZmOFPs, which belong to another type of plant morphological regulatory proteins, thereby affecting the phosphorylation level of ZmOFPs. These results demonstrate the importance of ZmLNG1 in forming the TON1-TRM-PP2A complex and provide a model for the regulation of plant organ morphology by TON1-recruiting motifs (TRMs) and Ovate family proteins (OFPs).

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most widely studied posttranslational modifications, and its role in signal transduction has gained particular attention. The relatively low abundance of the phosphorylated form of proteins makes identification by mass spectrometry challenging in the absence of selective enrichment. Titanium oxide-based enrichment of phosphopeptides in the presence of acidic modifiers is highly selective and makes it technically possible to detect thousands of phosphopeptides in a single sample by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for the selective enrichment of microsomal and cytosolic phosphopeptides from Arabidopsis seedlings. The resulting phosphopeptide fractions enable routine identification of several thousands of phosphopeptide spectra per sample by mass spectrometry.

The Cytoskeleton in Plant Immunity: Dynamics, Regulation, and Function. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415553.

Abstract
The plant cytoskeleton, consisting of actin filaments and microtubules, is a highly dynamic filamentous framework involved in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Recently, research has demonstrated that the plant cytoskeleton undergoes rapid remodeling upon sensing pathogen attacks, coordinating the formation of microdomain immune complexes, the dynamic and turnover of pattern-recognizing receptors (PRRs), the movement and aggregation of organelles, and the transportation of defense compounds, thus serving as an important platform for responding to pathogen infections. Meanwhile, pathogens produce effectors targeting the cytoskeleton to achieve pathogenicity. Recent findings have uncovered several cytoskeleton-associated proteins mediating cytoskeletal remodeling and defense signaling. Furthermore, the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is revealed to further feedback-regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and trigger salicylic acid (SA) signaling, suggesting an extremely complex role of the cytoskeleton in plant immunity. Here, we describe recent advances in understanding the host cytoskeleton dynamics upon sensing pathogens and summarize the effectors that target the cytoskeleton. We highlight advances in the regulation of cytoskeletal remodeling associated with the defense response and assess the important function of the rearrangement of the cytoskeleton in the immune response. Finally, we propose suggestions for future research in this area.

Abstract
Plant immunity is tightly controlled by a complex and dynamic regulatory network, which ensures optimal activation upon detection of potential pathogens. Accordingly, each component of this network is a potential target for manipulation by pathogens. Here, we report that RipAC, a type III-secreted effector from the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, targets the plant E3 ubiquitin ligase PUB4 to inhibit pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). PUB4 plays a positive role in PTI by regulating the homeostasis of the central immune kinase BIK1. Before PAMP perception, PUB4 promotes the degradation of non-activated BIK1, while after PAMP perception, PUB4 contributes to the accumulation of activated BIK1. RipAC leads to BIK1 degradation, which correlates with its PTI-inhibitory activity. RipAC causes a reduction in pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-induced PUB4 accumulation and phosphorylation. Our results shed light on the role played by PUB4 in immune regulation, and illustrate an indirect targeting of the immune signalling hub BIK1 by a bacterial effector.

Abstract
Being sessile in soil, plant cells rely on cell-surface receptors to sense and transduce environmental stimulus signals into intracellular responses. FERONIA (FER), a Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like protein, has emerged as a versatile regulator of plant growth, development, and stress responses. In recent years, accumulating studies have witnessed rapid advances in dissecting the mechanisms underlying the interaction between FER and its partners in response to pathogen invasion, particularly regulation of immune complex formation and signalling. Moreover, hormonal signalling, rhizosphere microbiota and other constituents are also extensively involved in these processes.

Abstract
Plant respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs) are plasma membrane-localized NADPH oxidases that generate superoxide anion radicals, which then dismutate to H2O2, into the apoplast using cytoplasmic NADPH as an electron donor. PaRBOH1 is the most highly expressed RBOH gene in developing xylem as well as in a lignin-forming cell culture of Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.). Since no previous information about regulation of gymnosperm RBOHs exist, our aim was to resolve how PaRBOH1 is regulated with a focus on phosphorylation. The N-terminal part of PaRBOH1 was found to contain several putative phosphorylation sites and a four-times repeated motif with similarities to the Botrytis-induced kinase 1 target site in Arabidopsis AtRBOHD. Phosphorylation was indicated for six of the sites in in vitro kinase assays using 15 amino-acid-long peptides for each of the predicted phosphotarget site in the presence of protein extracts of developing xylem. Serine and threonine residues showing positive response in the peptide assays were individually mutated to alanine (kinase-inactive) or to aspartate (phosphomimic), and the wild type PaRBOH1 and the mutated constructs transfected to human kidney embryogenic (HEK293T) cells with a low endogenous level of extracellular ROS production. ROS-producing assays with HEK cells showed that Ca2+ and phosphorylation synergistically activate the enzyme and identified several serine and threonine residues that are likely to be phosphorylated including a novel phosphorylation site not characterized in other plant species. These were further investigated with a phosphoproteomic study. Results of Norway spruce, the first gymnosperm species studied in relation to RBOH regulation, show that regulation of RBOH activity is conserved among seed plants.

Abstract
Microorganisms are critical drivers of biological processes that contribute significantly to plant sustainability and productivity. In recent years, emerging research on plant holobiont theory and microbial invasion ecology has radically transformed how we study plant–microbe interactions. Over the last few years, we have witnessed an accelerating pace of advancements and breadth of questions answered using omic technologies. Herein, we discuss how current state-of-the-art genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics techniques reliably transcend the task of studying plant–microbe interactions while acknowledging existing limitations impeding our understanding of plant holobionts.

Abstract
Iron is critical for host–pathogen interactions. While pathogens seek to scavenge iron to spread, the host aims at decreasing iron availability to reduce pathogen virulence. Thus, iron sensing and homeostasis are of particular importance to prevent host infection and part of nutritional immunity. While the link between iron homeostasis and immunity pathways is well established in plants, how iron levels are sensed and integrated with immune response pathways remains unknown. Here we report a receptor kinase SRF3, with a role in coordinating root growth, iron homeostasis and immunity pathways via regulation of callose synthases. These processes are modulated by iron levels and rely on SRF3 extracellular and kinase domains which tune its accumulation and partitioning at the cell surface. Mimicking bacterial elicitation with the flagellin peptide flg22 phenocopies SRF3 regulation upon low iron levels and subsequent SRF3-dependent responses. We propose that SRF3 is part of nutritional immunity responses involved in sensing external iron levels. Iron homeostasis is known to influence plant immune signaling. Here the authors characterize SRF3, a receptor kinase that acts as a negative regulator of callose synthesis, that is required for root responses to iron deficiency and pathogen signals.

Abstract
The plant receptor-like kinase FERONIA (FER) functions in the response to multiple extracellular signals, thereby regulating diverse cellular processes, such as polarized cell growth, hormone signaling and responses to pathogens. Here, we reported that in Arabidopsis thaliana, flagellin peptide flg22 stimulus significantly promoted the lateral mobility and dissociation of FER from the plasma membrane by inducing the association of FER with membrane microdomain components. FER underwent constitutive endocytosis and recycling in a brefeldin A (BFA)-sensitive manner via a clathrin-mediated pathway. Following flg22 elicitation, FER localized to bona fide endosomes via two distinct endocytic routes, showing differential sensitivity to BFA. These results at the single-particle level confirm that FER acts as an essential regulator during flg22 perception and immune activation, thus broadening our understanding of location-specific protein dynamics and membrane trafficking in receptor/receptor kinase signaling.

[PMID: 35725364 PMCID: PMC9208177 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-022-08684-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Brassinosteroid (BR)- signaling kinase (BSK) is a critical family of receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase for BR signal transduction, which plays important roles in plant development, immunity, and abiotic stress responses. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is cold- tolerant but heat- sensitive green leafy vegetable. A study on BSK family members and BSKs- mediated metabolic processes in spinach has not been performed. Results We identified and cloned seven SoBSKs in spinach. Phylogenetic and collinearity analyses suggested that SoBSKs had close relationship with dicotyledonous sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) rather than monocotyledons. The analyses of gene structure and conserved protein domain/ motif indicated that most SoBSKs were relative conserved, while SoBSK6 could be a truncated member. The prediction of post-translation modification (PTM) sites in SoBSKs implied their possible roles in signal transduction, redox regulation, and protein turnover of SoBSKs, especially the N-terminal myristoylation site was critical for BSK localization to cell periphery. Cis-acting elements for their responses to light, drought, temperature (heat and cold), and hormone distributed widely in the promoters of SoBSKs, implying the pivotal roles of SoBSKs in response to diverse abiotic stresses and phytohormone stimuli. Most SoBSKs were highly expressed in leaves, except for SoBSK7 in roots. Many SoBSKs were differentially regulated in spinach heat- sensitive variety Sp73 and heat- tolerant variety Sp75 under the treatments of heat, cold, as well as exogenous brassinolide (BL) and abscisic acid (ABA). The bsk134678 mutant Arabidopsis seedlings exhibited more heat tolerance than wild- type and SoBSK1- overexpressed seedlings. Conclusions A comprehensive genome- wide analysis of the BSK gene family in spinach presented a global identification and functional prediction of SoBSKs. Seven SoBSKs had relatively- conserved gene structure and protein function domains. Except for SoBSK6, all the other SoBSKs had similar motifs and conserved PTM sites. Most SoBSKs participated in the responses to heat, cold, BR, and ABA. These findings paved the way for further functional analysis on BSK- mediated regulatory mechanisms in spinach development and stress response.

Abstract
Plant survival depends on adaptive mechanisms that constantly rely on signal recognition and transduction. The predominant class of signal discriminators is receptor kinases, with a vast member composition in plants. The transduction of signals occurs in part by a simple repertoire of heterotrimeric G proteins, with a core composed of α-, β-, and γ-subunits, together with a 7-transmembrane Regulator G Signaling (RGS) protein. With a small repertoire of G proteins in plants, phosphorylation by receptor kinases is critical in regulating the active state of the G-protein complex. This review describes the in vivo detected phosphosites in plant G proteins and conservation scores, and their in vitro corresponding kinases. Furthermore, recently described outcomes, including novel arrestin-like internalization of RGS and a non-canonical phosphorylation switching mechanism that drives G-protein plasticity, are discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is known to modulate the action of several phytohormones. This includes the gaseous hormone ethylene, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of NO on ethylene biosynthesis are unclear. Here, we observed a decrease in endogenous NO abundance during apple (Malus domestica) fruit development and exogenous treatment of apple fruit with a NO donor suppressed ethylene production, suggesting that NO is a ripening suppressor. Expression of the transcription factor MdERF5 was activated by NO donor treatment. NO induced the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of MdERF5 by modulating its interaction with the protein phosphatase, MdPP2C57. MdPP2C57-induced dephosphorylation of MdERF5 at Ser260 is sufficient to promote nuclear export of MdERF5. As a consequence of this export, MdERF5 proteins in the cytoplasm interacted with and suppressed the activity of MdACO1, an enzyme that converts 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene. The NO-activated MdERF5 was observed to increase in abundance in the nucleus and bind to the promoter of the ACC synthase gene MdACS1 and directly suppress its transcription. Together, these results suggest that NO-activated nucleocytoplasmic MdERF5 suppresses the action of ethylene biosynthetic genes, thereby suppressing ethylene biosynthesis and limiting fruit ripening.

Abstract
Mechanisms to sense and respond to pathogens have evolved in all species. The plant immune pathway is initiated by the activation of transmembrane receptor kinases that trigger phosphorylation relays resulting in cellular reprogramming. BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE 1 (BIK1) is a direct substrate of multiple immune receptors in Arabidopsis thaliana and is a central regulator of plant immunity. Here, we review how BIK1 activity and protein stability are regulated by a dynamic interplay between phosphorylation and ubiquitination.

Abstract
Calcium ions function as a key second messenger ion in eukaryotes. Spatially and temporally defined cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals are shaped through the concerted activity of ion channels, exchangers, and pumps in response to diverse stimuli; these signals are then decoded through the activity of Ca2+ -binding sensor proteins. In plants, Ca2+ signaling is central to both pattern- and effector-triggered immunity, with the generation of characteristic cytoplasmic Ca2+ elevations in response to potential pathogens being common to both. However, despite their importance, and a long history of scientific interest, the transport proteins that shape Ca2+ signals and their integration remain poorly characterized. Here, we discuss recent work that has both shed light on and deepened the mysteries of Ca2+ signaling in plant immunity.

Abstract
The apoplast is a continuous plant compartment that connects cells between tissues and organs and is one of the first sites of interaction between plants and microbes. The plant cell wall occupies most of the apoplast and is composed of polysaccharides and associated proteins and ions. This dynamic part of the cell constitutes an essential physical barrier and a source of nutrients for the microbe. At the same time, the plant cell wall serves important functions in the interkingdom detection, recognition, and response to other organisms. Thus, both plant and microbe modify the plant cell wall and its environment in versatile ways to benefit from the interaction. We discuss here crucial processes occurring at the plant cell wall during the contact and communication between microbe and plant. Finally, we argue that these local and dynamic changes need to be considered to fully understand plant-microbe interactions.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for plant immunity and regulation of their production is crucial for plant health. While the mechanisms that elicit ROS production have been relatively well studied, those that repress ROS generation are less well understood. Here, via screening Brachypodium distachyon RNA interference mutants, we identified BdWRKY19 as a negative regulator of ROS generation whose knockdown confers elevated resistance to the rust fungus Puccinia brachypodii. The three wheat paralogous genes TaWRKY19 are induced during infection by virulent P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) and have partially redundant roles in resistance. The stable overexpression of TaWRKY19 in wheat increased susceptibility to an avirulent Pst race, while mutations in all three TaWRKY19 copies conferred strong resistance to Pst by enhancing host plant ROS accumulation. We show that TaWRKY19 is a transcriptional repressor that binds to a W-box element in the promoter of TaNOX10, which encodes an NADPH oxidase and is required for ROS generation and host resistance to Pst. Collectively, our findings reveal that TaWRKY19 compromises wheat resistance to the fungal pathogen and suggest TaWRKY19 as a potential target to improve wheat resistance to the commercially important wheat stripe rust fungus.

Abstract
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases in rice and can affect rice production worldwide. Rice plasma membrane (PM) proteins are crucial for rapidly and precisely establishing a defense response in plant immunity when rice and blast fungi interact. However, the plant-immunity-associated vesicle trafficking network mediated by PM proteins is poorly understood. In this study, to explore changes in PM proteins during M. oryzae infection, the PM proteome was analyzed via iTRAQ in the resistant rice landrace Heikezijing. A total of 831 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified, including 434 upregulated and 397 downregulated DEPs. In functional analyses, DEPs associated with vesicle trafficking were significantly enriched, including the "transport" term in a Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, the endocytosis and phagosome pathways in a Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis, and vesicle-associated proteins identified via a protein-protein interaction network analysis. OsNPSN13, a novel plant-specific soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) 13 protein, was identified as an upregulated DEP, and transgenic plants overexpressing this gene showed enhanced blast resistance, while transgenic knockdown plants were more susceptible than wild-type plants. The changes in abundance and putative functions of 20 DEPs revealed a possible vesicle trafficking network in the M. oryzae-rice interaction. A comparative proteomic analysis of plasma membrane proteins in rice leaves revealed a plant-immunity-associated vesicle trafficking network that is provoked by blast fungi; these results provide new insights into rice resistance responses against rice blast fungi.

Abstract
In response to colonization by rhizobia bacteria, legumes are able to form nitrogen-fixing nodules in their roots, allowing the plants to grow efficiently in nitrogen-depleted environments. Legumes utilize a complex, long-distance signaling pathway to regulate nodulation that involves signals in both roots and shoots. We measured the transcriptional response to treatment with rhizobia in both the shoots and roots of Medicago truncatula over a 72-h time course. To detect temporal shifts in gene expression, we developed GeneShift, a novel computational statistics and machine learning workflow that addresses the time series replicate the averaging issue for detecting gene expression pattern shifts under different conditions. We identified both known and novel genes that are regulated dynamically in both tissues during early nodulation including leginsulin, defensins, root transporters, nodulin-related, and circadian clock genes. We validated over 70% of the expression patterns that GeneShift discovered using an independent M. truncatula RNA-Seq study. GeneShift facilitated the discovery of condition-specific temporally differentially expressed genes in the symbiotic nodulation biological system. In principle, GeneShift should work for time-series gene expression profiling studies from other systems.

Abstract
The two main glucan polymers cellulose and callose in plant cell wall are synthesized at the plasma membrane by cellulose or callose synthase complexes. Cellulose is the prevalent glucan in cell wall and provides strength to the walls to support directed cell expansion. By contrast, callose is mainly produced in special cell wall and exercises important functions during development and stress responses. However, the structure and precise regulatory mechanism of callose synthase complex is not very clear. This review therefore compares and analyzes the regulation of callose and cellulose synthesis, and further emphasize the future research direction of callose synthesis.

Abstract
Ralstonia solanacaerum is one of the most devastating bacteria causing bacterial wilt disease in more than 200 species of plants, especially those belonging to the family Solanaceae. To cope with this pathogen, plants have evolved different resistance mechanisms depending on signal transduction after perception. Phosphorylation is the central regulatory component of the signal transduction pathway. We investigated a comparative phosphoproteomics analysis of the stems of resistant and susceptible tomatoes at 15 min and 30 min after inoculation with Ralstonia solanacearum to determine the phosphorylated proteins involved in induced resistance. Phosphoprotein profiling analyses led to the identification of 969 phosphoproteins classified into 10 functional categories. Among these, six phosphoproteins were uniquely identified in resistant plants including cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (CAD1), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 18 (MAPKKK18), phospholipase D delta (PLDDELTA), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide transporter 1 (NDT1), B3 domain-containing transcription factor VRN1, and disease resistance protein RPM1 (RPM1). These proteins are typically involved in defense mechanisms across different plant species. qRT-PCR analyses were performed to evaluate the level of expression of these genes in resistant and susceptible tomatoes. This study provides useful data, leading to an understanding of the early defense mechanisms of tomatoes against R. solanacearum.

Abstract
Anthracnose is a fungal disease caused by members of Colletotrichum that affect a wide range of crop plants. Strategies to improve crop resistance are needed to reduce the yield losses; and one strategy is to manipulate protein kinases that catalyze reversible phosphorylation of proteins regulating both plant immune responses and fungal pathogenesis. Hence, in this review, we present a summary of the current knowledge of protein kinase signaling pathways in plant-Colletotrichum interaction as well as the relation to a more general understanding of protein kinases that contribute to plant immunity and pathogen virulence. We highlight the potential of combining genomic resources and phosphoproteomics research to unravel the key molecular components of plant-Colletotrichum interactions. Understanding the molecular interactions between plants and Colletotrichum would not only facilitate molecular breeding of resistant cultivars but also help the development of novel strategies for controlling the anthracnose disease.

Abstract
To absolutely and relatively quantitate the alteration of a posttranslationally modified (PTM) proteome in response to a specific internal or external signal, a 15N-stable isotope labeling in Arabidopsis (SILIA) protocol has been integrated into the 4C quantitative PTM proteomics, named as SILIA-based 4C quantitative PTM proteomics (S4Quap). The isotope metabolic labeling produces both forward (F) and reciprocal (R) mixings of either 14N/15N-coded tissues or the 14N/15N-coded total cellular proteins. Plant protein is isolated using a urea-based extraction buffer (UEB). The presence of 8 M urea, 2% polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP), and 5 mM ascorbic acid allows to instantly denature protein, remove the phenolic compounds, and curb the oxidation by free radicals once plant cells are broken. The total cellular proteins are routinely processed into peptides by trypsin. The PTM peptide yield of affinity enrichment and preparation is 0.1-0.2% in general. Ion exchange chromatographic fractionation prepares the PTM peptides for LC-MS/MS analysis. The collected mass spectrograms are subjected to a target-decoy sequence analysis using various search engines. The computational programs are subsequently applied to analyze the ratios of the extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) of the 14N/15N isotope-coded PTM peptide ions and to perform the statistical evaluation of the quantitation results. The Student t-test values of ratios of quantifiable 14N/15N-coded PTM peptides are normally corrected using a Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) multiple hypothesis test to select the significantly regulated PTM peptide groups (BH-FDR < 5%). Consequently, the highly selected prospect candidate(s) of PTM proteins are confirmed and validated using biochemical, molecular, cellular, and transgenic plant analysis.

Abstract
Calcium signaling mediates most developmental processes and stress responses in plants. Among plant calcium sensors, the calcium-dependent protein kinases display a unique structure harboring both calcium sensing and kinase responding activities. AtCPK5 is an essential member of this family in Arabidopsis that regulates immunity and abiotic stress tolerance. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, we implemented a biochemical approach to identify in vivo substrates of AtCPK5. We generated transgenic lines expressing a constitutively active form of AtCPK5 under the control of a dexamethasone-inducible promoter. Lines expressing a kinase-dead version were used as a negative control. By comparing the phosphoproteome of the kinase-active and kinase-dead lines upon dexamethasone treatment, we identified 5 phosphopeptides whose abundance increased specifically in the kinase-active lines. Importantly, we showed that all 5 proteins were phosphorylated in vitro by AtCPK5 in a calcium-dependent manner, suggesting that they are direct targets of AtCPK5. We also detected several interaction patterns between the kinase and the candidates in the cytosol, membranes or nucleus, consistent with the ubiquitous localization of AtCPK5. Finally, we further validated the two phosphosites S245 and S280 targeted by AtCPK5 in the E3 ubiquitin ligase ATL31. Altogether, those results open new perspectives to decipher AtCPK5 biological functions.

Abstract
Plant plasma membrane H+-ATPases and Ca2+-ATPases maintain low cytoplasmic concentrations of H+ and Ca2+, respectively, and are essential for plant growth and development. These low concentrations allow plasma membrane H+-ATPases to function as electrogenic voltage stats, and Ca2+-ATPases as "off" mechanisms in Ca2+-based signal transduction. Although these pumps are autoregulated by cytoplasmic concentrations of H+ and Ca2+, respectively, they are also subject to exquisite regulation in response to biotic and abiotic events in the environment. A common paradigm for both types of pumps is the presence of terminal regulatory (R) domains that function as autoinhibitors that can be neutralized by multiple means, including phosphorylation. A picture is emerging in which some of the phosphosites in these R domains appear to be highly, nearly constantly phosphorylated, whereas others seem to be subject to dynamic phosphorylation. Thus, some sites might function as major switches, whereas others might simply reduce activity. Here, we provide an overview of the relevant transport systems and discuss recent advances that address their relation to external stimuli and physiological adaptations.

Abstract
Plant systems science research depends on the dynamic functional maps of the biological substrates of plant phenotypes and host/environment interactions in diverse ecologies. In this context, high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms offer comprehensive insights into the molecular pathways regulated by protein phosphorylation. Reversible protein phosphorylation is a ubiquitous reaction in signal transduction mechanisms in biological systems. In contrast to human and animal biology research, a plethora of experimental options for functional mapping and regulation of plant biology are, however, not currently available. Plant phosphoproteomics is an emerging field of research that aims at addressing this gap in systems science and plant omics, and thus has a large scope to empower fundamental discoveries. To date, large-scale data-intensive identification of phosphorylation events in plants remained technically challenging. In this expert review, we present a critical analysis and overview of phosphoproteomic studies performed in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We discuss the technical strategies used for the enrichment of phosphopeptides and methods used for their quantitative assessment. Various types of mass spectrometry data acquisition and fragmentation methods are also discussed. The insights gathered here can allow plant biology and systems science researchers to design high-throughput function-oriented experimental workflows that elucidate the regulatory signaling mechanisms impacting plant physiology and plant diseases.

Activation loop phosphorylaton of a non-RD receptor kinase initiates plant innate immune signaling. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2108242118.

Abstract
Receptor kinases (RKs) are fundamental for extracellular sensing and regulate development and stress responses across kingdoms. In plants, leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) are primarily peptide receptors that regulate responses to myriad internal and external stimuli. Phosphorylation of LRR-RK cytoplasmic domains is among the earliest responses following ligand perception, and reciprocal transphosphorylation between a receptor and its coreceptor is thought to activate the receptor complex. Originally proposed based on characterization of the brassinosteroid receptor, the prevalence of complex activation via reciprocal transphosphorylation across the plant RK family has not been tested. Using the LRR-RK ELONGATION FACTOR TU RECEPTOR (EFR) as a model, we set out to understand the steps critical for activating RK complexes. While the EFR cytoplasmic domain is an active protein kinase in vitro and is phosphorylated in a ligand-dependent manner in vivo, catalytically deficient EFR variants are functional in antibacterial immunity. These results reveal a noncatalytic role for EFR in triggering immune signaling and indicate that reciprocal transphoshorylation is not a ubiquitous requirement for LRR-RK complex activation. Rather, our analysis of EFR along with a detailed survey of the literature suggests a distinction between LRR-RKs with RD- versus non-RD protein kinase domains. Based on newly identified phosphorylation sites that regulate the activation state of the EFR complex in vivo, we propose that LRR-RK complexes containing a non-RD protein kinase may be regulated by phosphorylation-dependent conformational changes of the ligand-binding receptor, which could initiate signaling either allosterically or through driving the dissociation of negative regulators of the complex.

Abstract
All eukaryotic organisms have evolved sophisticated immune systems to appropriately respond to biotic stresses. In plants and animals, a key part of this immune system is pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Plant PRRs are cell-surface-localized receptor kinases (RKs) or receptor proteins (RPs) that sense microbe- or self-derived molecular patterns to regulate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), a robust form of antimicrobial immunity. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding how PRRs perceive their ligands, form active protein complexes, initiate cell signaling, and ultimately coordinate the cellular reprogramming that leads to PTI. Here, we discuss the critical roles of PRR complex formation and phosphorylation in activating PTI signaling, as well as the emerging paradigm in which receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) act as executors of signaling downstream of PRR activation.

Abstract
Lipid flippases (P4 ATPases) are active transporters that catalyse the translocation of lipids between the two sides of the biological membranes in the secretory pathway. This activity modulates biological membrane properties, contributes to vesicle formation, and is the trigger for lipid signalling events, which makes P4 ATPases essential for eukaryotic cell survival. Plant P4 ATPases (also known as aminophospholipid ATPases (ALAs)) are crucial for plant fertility and proper development, and are involved in key adaptive responses to biotic and abiotic stress, including chilling tolerance, heat adaptation, nutrient deficiency responses and pathogen defence. While ALAs present many analogies to mammalian and yeast P4 ATPases, they also show characteristic features as the result of their independent evolution. In this Review, the main properties, roles, regulation and mechanisms of action of ALA proteins are discussed.

Abstract
NDR/LATS‐family protein kinases are conserved among eukaryotes. These protein kinases in yeast and animals phosphorylate specific targets and regulate the cell cycle. Arabidopsis thaliana has eight NDR/LATS‐family protein kinase genes (NDR1‐8), of which NDR2, NDR4, and NDR5 are involved in regulating pollen development. However, the functions of the other NDR/LATS‐family protein kinase genes in plants are unclear. Here, we show that three putative phosphorylation sites of an Arabidopsis basic leucine zipper transcription factor, VIP1, correspond to NDR/LATS‐family protein kinase phosphorylation motifs and that two of these three sites are phosphorylated by NDR2, NDR3, or NDR8 in vitro. Expression of NDR1‐8 was detected in various tissues. An NDR4 NDR6 NDR7 NDR8 quadruple mutation caused embryonic lethality These results suggest that different NDR/LATS‐family protein kinases in plants have distinct physiological roles.

Abstract
Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) is typically initiated in plants by recognition of pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMP/DAMPs) by cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Here, we investigated the role in PTI of Arabidopsis thaliana brassinosteroid-signalling kinases 7 and 8 (BSK7 and BSK8), which are members of the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase subfamily XII. BSK7 and BSK8 localized to the plant cell periphery and interacted in yeast and in planta with FLS2, but not with other PRRs. Consistent with a role in FLS2 signalling, bsk7 and bsk8 single and bsk7,8 double mutant plants were impaired in several immune responses induced by flg22, but not by other PAMP/DAMPs. These included resistance to Pseudomonas syringae and Botrytis cinerea, reactive oxygen species accumulation, callose deposition at the cell wall, and expression of the defence-related gene PR1, but not activation of MAP kinases and expression of the FRK1 and WRKY29 genes. bsk7, bsk8, and bsk7,8 plants also displayed enhanced susceptibility to P. syringae and B. cinerea. Finally, BSK7 and BSK8 variants mutated in their myristoylation site or in the ATP-binding site failed to complement defective phenotypes of the corresponding mutants, suggesting that localization to the cell periphery and kinase activity are critical for BSK7 and BSK8 functions. Together, these findings demonstrate that BSK7 and BSK8 play a role in PTI initiated by recognition of flg22 by interacting with the FLS2 immune receptor.
