Abstract
BACKGROUND The filamentous temperature-sensitive H protease (ftsH) gene family belongs to the ATP-dependent zinc metalloproteins, and ftsH genes play critical roles in plant chloroplast development and photosynthesis. RESULTS In this study, we performed genome-wide identification and a systematic analysis of soybean ftsH genes. A total of 18 GmftsH genes were identified. The subcellular localization was predicted to be mainly in cell membranes and chloroplasts, and the gene structures, conserved motifs, evolutionary relationships, and expression patterns were comprehensively analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of the ftsH gene family from soybean and various other species revealed six distinct clades, all of which showed a close relationship to Arabidopsis thaliana. The members of the GmftsH gene family were distributed on 13 soybean chromosomes, with intron numbers ranging from 3 to 15, 13 pairs of repetitive segment. The covariance between these genes and related genes in different species of Oryza sativa, Zea mays, and Arabidopsis thaliana was further investigated. The transcript expression data revealed that the genes of this family showed different expression patterns in three parts, the root, stem, and leaf, and most of the genes were highly expressed in the leaves of the soybean plants. Fluorescence-based real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) showed that the expression level of GmftsH genes varied under different stress treatments. Specifically, the genes within this family exhibited various induction levels in response to stress conditions of 4℃, 20% PEG-6000, and 100 mmol/L NaCl. These findings suggest that the GmftsH gene family may play a crucial role in the abiotic stress response in soybeans. It was also found that the GmftsH7 gene was localized on the cell membrane, and its expression was significantly upregulated under 4 ℃ treatment. In summary, by conducting a genome-wide analysis of the GmftsH gene family, a strong theoretical basis is established for future studies on the functionality of GmftsH genes. CONCLUSIONS This research can potentially serve as a guide for enhancing the stress tolerance characteristics of soybean.

Degradation of FATTY ACID EXPORT PROTEIN1 by RHOMBOID-LIKE PROTEASE11 contributes to cold tolerance in Arabidopsis. THE PLANT CELL 2024; 36:1937-1962. [PMID: 38242838 PMCID: PMC11062452 DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koae011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Plants need to acclimate to different stresses to optimize growth under unfavorable conditions. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the abundance of the chloroplast envelope protein FATTY ACID EXPORT PROTEIN1 (FAX1) decreases after the onset of low temperatures. However, how FAX1 degradation occurs and whether altered FAX1 abundance contributes to cold tolerance in plants remains unclear. The rapid cold-induced increase in RHOMBOID-LIKE PROTEASE11 (RBL11) transcript levels, the physical interaction of RBL11 with FAX1, the specific FAX1 degradation after RBL11 expression, and the absence of cold-induced FAX1 degradation in rbl11 loss-of-function mutants suggest that this enzyme is responsible for FAX1 degradation. Proteomic analyses showed that rbl11 mutants have higher levels of FAX1 and other proteins involved in membrane lipid homeostasis, suggesting that RBL11 is a key element in the remodeling of membrane properties during cold conditions. Consequently, in the cold, rbl11 mutants show a shift in lipid biosynthesis toward the eukaryotic pathway, which coincides with impaired cold tolerance. To test whether cold sensitivity is due to increased FAX1 levels, we analyzed FAX1 overexpressors. The rbl11 mutants and FAX1 overexpressor lines show superimposable phenotypic defects upon exposure to cold temperatures. Our re-sults show that the cold-induced degradation of FAX1 by RBL11 is critical for Arabidop-sis to survive cold and freezing periods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GOLDEN-like (GLK) transcription factors are central regulators of chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis and other species. Findings from Arabidopsis show that these factors also contribute to photosynthetic acclimation, e.g. to variation in light intensity, and are controlled by retrograde signals emanating from the chloroplast. However, the natural variation of GLK1-centered gene-regulatory networks in Arabidopsis is largely unexplored. RESULTS By evaluating the activities of GLK1 target genes and GLK1 itself in vegetative leaves of natural Arabidopsis accessions grown under standard conditions, we uncovered variation in the activity of GLK1 centered regulatory networks. This is linked with the ecogeographic origin of the accessions, and can be associated with a complex genetic variation across loci acting in different functional pathways, including photosynthesis, ROS and brassinosteroid pathways. Our results identify candidate upstream regulators that contribute to a basal level of GLK1 activity in rosette leaves, which can then impact the capacity to acclimate to different environmental conditions. Indeed, accessions with higher GLK1 activity, arising from habitats with a high monthly variation in solar radiation levels, may show lower levels of photoinhibition at higher light intensities. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide evidence for natural variation in GLK1 regulatory activities in vegetative leaves. This variation is associated with ecogeographic origin and can contribute to acclimation to high light conditions.

Abstract
Plant filamentation temperature-sensitive H (FtsH) proteins are ATP-dependent zinc proteases that play an important role in regulating abiotic stress adaptions. Here we explore their potential role in abiotic stress tolerance in alfalfa, an important legume crop. Genomic analysis revealed seventeen MsFtsH genes in five clusters, which generally featured conserved domains and gene structures. Furthermore, the expression of MsFtsHs was found to be tightly associated with abiotic stresses, including osmotic, salt and oxidative stress. In addition, numerous stress responsive cis-elements, including those related to ABA, auxin, and salicylic acid, were identified in their promoter regions. Moreover, MsFtsH8 overexpression was shown to confer tolerance to salt and oxidative stress which was associated with reduced levels of reactive oxygen species, and enhanced expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes. Our results highlight MsFtsHs as key factors in abiotic stress tolerance, and show their potential usefulness for breeding alfalfa and other crops with improved yield and stress tolerance.

Abstract
Protein import into chloroplasts is powered by ATP hydrolysis in the stroma. Establishing the identity and functional mechanism of the stromal ATPase motor that drives import is critical for understanding chloroplast biogenesis. Recently, a complex consisting of Ycf2, FtsHi1, FtsHi2, FtsHi4, FtsHi5, FtsH12, and malate dehydrogenase was shown to be important for chloroplast protein import, and it has been proposed to act as the motor driving protein translocation across the chloroplast envelope into the stroma. To gain further mechanistic understanding of how the motor functions, we performed membrane association and topology analyses on two of its subunits, FtsHi1 and FtsHi2. We isolated cDNA clones encoding FtsHi1 and FtsHi2 preproteins to perform in vitro import experiments in order to determine the exact size of each mature protein. We also generated antibodies against the C-termini of the proteins, i.e., where their ATPase domains reside. Protease treatments and alkaline and high-salt extractions of chloroplasts with imported and endogenous proteins revealed that FtsHi1 is an integral membrane protein with its C-terminal portion located in the intermembrane space of the envelope, not the stroma, whereas FtsHi2 is a soluble protein in the stroma. We further complemented an FtsHi1-knockout mutant with a C-terminally tagged FtsHi1 and obtained identical results for topological analyses. Our data indicate that the model of a single membrane-anchored pulling motor at the stromal side of the inner membrane needs to be revised and suggest that the Ycf2-FtsHi complex may have additional functions.

Abstract
Increasing plant photosynthetic capacity is a promising approach to boost yields, but it is particularly challenging in C3 crops, such as soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Here, we identified GmFtsH25, encoding a member of the filamentation temperature-sensitive protein H protease family, as a major gene involved in soybean photosynthesis, using linkage mapping and a genome-wide association study. Overexpressing GmFtsH25 resulted in more grana thylakoid stacks in chloroplasts and increased photosynthetic efficiency and starch content, while knocking out GmFtsH25 produced the opposite phenotypes. GmFtsH25 interacted with photosystem I light harvesting complex 2 (GmLHCa2), and this interaction may contribute to the observed enhanced photosynthesis. GmFtsH25 overexpression lines had superior yield traits, such as yield per plant, compared to the wild type and knockout lines. Additionally, we identified an elite haplotype of GmFtsH25, generated by natural mutations, which appears to have been selected during soybean domestication. Our study sheds light on the molecular mechanism by which GmFtsH25 modulates photosynthesis and provides a promising strategy for improving the yields of soybean and other crops.

Abstract
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is a dynamic balance of protein synthesis and degradation. Because of the endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts and the massive transfer of their genetic information to the nucleus of the host cell, many protein complexes in the chloroplasts are constituted from subunits encoded by both genomes. Hence, the proper function of chloroplasts relies on the coordinated expression of chloroplast- and nucleus-encoded genes. The biogenesis and maintenance of chloroplast proteostasis are dependent on synthesis of chloroplast-encoded proteins, import of nucleus-encoded chloroplast proteins from the cytosol, and clearance of damaged or otherwise undesired "old" proteins. This review focuses on the regulation of chloroplast proteostasis, its interaction with proteostasis of the cytosol, and its retrograde control over nuclear gene expression. We also discuss significant issues and perspectives for future studies and potential applications for improving the photosynthetic performance and stress tolerance of crops.

Chloroplast envelope ATPase PGA1/AtFtsH12 is required for chloroplast protein accumulation and cytosol-chloroplast protein homeostasis in Arabidopsis. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102489.

Abstract
The establishment of photosynthetic protein complexes during chloroplast development requires the influx of a large number of chloroplast proteins that are encoded by the nuclear genome, which is critical for cytosol and chloroplast protein homeostasis and chloroplast development. However, the mechanisms regulating this process are still not well understood in higher plants. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of the pale green Arabidopsis pga1-1 mutant, which is defective in chloroplast development and chloroplast protein accumulation. Using genetic and biochemical evidence, we reveal that PGA1 encodes AtFtsH12, a chloroplast envelope-localized protein of the FtsH family proteins. We determined a G703R mutation in the GAD motif of the conserved ATPase domain renders the pga1-1 a viable hypomorphic allele of the essential gene AtFtsH12. In de-etiolation assays, we showed that the accumulation of photosynthetic proteins and the expression of photosynthetic genes were impaired in pga1-1. Using the FNRctp-GFP and pTAC2-GFP reporters, we demonstrated that AtFtsH12 was required for the accumulation of chloroplast proteins in vivo. Interestingly, we identified an increase in expression of the mutant AtFtsH12 gene in pga1-1, suggesting a feedback regulation. Moreover, we found that cytosolic and chloroplast proteostasis responses were triggered in pga1-1. Together, taking advantage of the novel pga1-1 mutant, we demonstrate the function of AtFtsH12 in chloroplast protein homeostasis and chloroplast development.

Abstract
Chloroplast metabolism is very sensitive to environmental fluctuations and is intimately related to plant leaf development. Characterization of the chloroplast proteome dynamics can contribute to a better understanding on plant adaptation to different climate scenarios and leaf development processes. Herein, we carried out a discovery-driven analysis of the Eucalyptus grandis chloroplast proteome during leaf maturation and throughout different seasons of the year. The chloroplast proteome from young leaves differed the most from all assessed samples. Most upregulated proteins identified in mature and young leaves were those related to catabolic-redox signaling and biogenesis processes, respectively. Seasonal dynamics revealed unique proteome features in the fall and spring periods. The most abundant chloroplast protein in humid (wet) seasons (spring and summer) was a small subunit of RuBisCO, while in the dry periods (fall and winter) the proteins that showed the most pronounced accumulation were associated with photo-oxidative damage, Calvin cycle, shikimate pathway, and detoxification. Our investigation of the chloroplast proteome dynamics during leaf development revealed significant alterations in relation to the maturation event. Our findings also suggest that transition seasons induced the most pronounced chloroplast proteome changes over the year. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding on the subcellular mechanisms that lead to plant leaf adaptation and ultimately gives more insights into Eucalyptus grandis phenology.

Abstract
The characterization and preservation of genetic variation in crops is critical to meeting the challenges of breeding in the face of changing climates and markets. In recent years, the use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has become routine, allowing us to understand the population structure, find divergent lines for crosses, and illuminate the origin of crops. However, the focus on SNPs overlooks other forms of variation, such as copy number variation (CNVs). Lentil is the third most important cold‐season legume and was domesticated in the Fertile Crescent. We genotyped 324 accessions that represent its global diversity, and using both SNPs and CNVs, we dissected the population structure and genetic variation, and identified candidate genes. Eight clusters were detected, most of them located in or near the Fertile Crescent, even though different clusters were present in distinct regions. The cluster from South Asia was particularly differentiated and presented low diversity, contrasting with the clusters from the Mediterranean and the northern temperate. Accessions from North America were mainly assigned to one cluster and were highly diverse, reflecting the efforts of breeding programs to integrate variation. Thirty‐three genes were identified as candidates under selection and among their functions were sporopollenin synthesis in pollen, a component of chlorophyll B reductase that partially determines the antenna size, and two genes related to the import system of chloroplasts. Eleven percent of all lentil genes and 21% of lentil disease resistance genes were affected by CNVs. The gene categories overrepresented in these genes were “enzymes,” “Cell Wall Organization,” and “external stimuli response.” All the genes found in the latter were associated with pathogen response. CNVs provided information about population structure and might have played a role in adaptation. The incorporation of CNVs in diversity studies is needed for a broader understanding of how they evolve and contribute to domestication.

Abstract
A candidate non photosensitive gene S m F TS H10 was identified by combining bulked segregant analysis and map‑based cloning. Low light condition often leads to poor coloration of photosensitive eggplant. Here, we obtained a non-photosensitive eggplant that can synthesize large amount of anthocyanin under shading conditions. Genetic analysis of F1 and F2 populations revealed that the phenotype of non-photosensitivity was regulated by a single dominant nuclear gene, herein temporarily designated SmFTSH10. Through Bulked segregant analysis (BSA), SNP haplotyping and fine genetic mapping delimited SmFTSH10 to a 290 kb region of eggplant chromosome 10 flanking by markers dCAPS21 and dCAPS32. Sequence analysis revealed C-base deletion in the fourth exon of SmFTSH10 resulted in premature termination of translation. The expression level of SmFTSH10 decreased significantly in anthocyanin-rich parts of mutant '145' compared with the wild-type 'LSHX'. Sequencing of 10 recombinants revealed that the C-base deletion in the 4th exon of SmFTSH10 was co-segregated with the non-photosensitive phenotype, and the sequencing analysis of the natural population of eggplant also showed that the Indel in SmFTSH10 had a high accuracy in the identification of the photosensitivity of eggplant. Light-responsive expression patterns analysis suggests that it has the same expression trend as the genes involved in eggplant anthocyanin biosynthesis, which supports SmFTSH10 as the most possible candidate gene of non-photosensitivity. These findings provide a new insight into understanding the molecular mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis in non-photosensitive eggplant.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2022; 315:111128. [PMID: 35067298 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2021.111128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The PSII repair cycle is an important part of photosynthesis and is essential for high photosynthetic efficiency. The study of essential genes in Brassica napus provides significant potential for the improvement of gene editing technology and molecular breeding design. Previously, we identified a B. napus lethal mutant (7-521Y), which was controlled by two recessive genes (cyd1 and cyd2). BnaC06.FtsH1 was identified as a CYD1 target gene through functional verification. In the present study, we employed fine-mapping, genetic complementation, and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments to identify BnaA07.FtsH1 as the target gene of CYD2, functioning similarly to BnaC06.FtsH1. By analyzing CRISPR/Cas9 T1 generation plants of the Westar variety, we found that the copy number of FtsH1 was positively correlated with its biomass accumulation. Transcriptome analysis of cotyledons revealed differences in the expression of photosynthesis antenna and structural proteins between the mutant and complementary seedlings. Phylogenetic and chromosome linear analyses, based on 15 sequenced cruciferous species, revealed that Brassica alone had lost FtsH5 during evolution. This may be related to the fact that FtsH5 was located at the end of chromosome ABK8 in the ancestor species. Cloning and identification of BnaFtsH1s provide a deeper understanding of PSII repair cycle mechanisms and offer new insights for the improvement of photosynthetic efficiency and molecular breeding design in B. napus.

Abstract
Alternative translation initiation is a widespread event in biology that can shape multiple protein forms or proteoforms from a single gene. However, the respective contribution of alternative translation to protein complexity remains largely enigmatic. By complementary ribosome profiling and N-terminal proteomics (i.e., riboproteogenomics), we provide clear-cut evidence for ~90 N-terminal proteoform pairs shaped by (alternative) translation initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Next to several cases additionally confirmed by directed mutagenesis, identified alternative protein N-termini follow the enzymatic rules of co-translational N-terminal protein acetylation and initiator methionine removal. In contrast to other eukaryotic models, N-terminal acetylation in plants cannot generally be considered as a proxy of translation initiation because of its posttranslational occurrence on mature proteolytic neo-termini (N-termini) localized in the chloroplast stroma. Quantification of N-terminal acetylation revealed differing co- vs. posttranslational N-terminal acetylation patterns. Intriguingly, our data additionally hints to alternative translation initiation serving as a common mechanism to supply protein copies in multiple cellular compartments, as alternative translation sites are often in close proximity to cleavage sites of N-terminal transit sequences of nuclear-encoded chloroplastic and mitochondrial proteins. Overall, riboproteogenomics screening enables the identification of (differential localized) N-terminal proteoforms raised upon alternative translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Filamentation temperature-sensitive H (FtsH) is an ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease with ATPase activity, proteolysis activity and molecular chaperone-like activity. For now, a total of nine FtsH proteins have been encoded in rice, but their functions have not revealed in detail. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of OsFtsH2 here, several osftsh2 knockout mutants were successfully generated by the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. RESULTS All the mutants exhibited a phenotype of striking albino leaf and could not survive through the stage of three leaves. OsFtsH2 was located in the chloroplast and preferentially expressed in green tissues. In addition, osftsh2 mutants could not form normal chloroplasts and had lost photosynthetic autotrophic capacity. RNA sequencing analysis indicated that many biological processes such as photosynthesis-related pathways and plant hormone signal transduction were significantly affected in osftsh2 mutants. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the results suggested OsFtsH2 to be essential for chloroplast development in rice.

Abstract
FtsH metalloproteases found in eubacteria, animals, and plants are well-known for their vital role in the maintenance and proteolysis of membrane proteins. Their location is restricted to organelles of endosymbiotic origin, the chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, there are 17 membrane-bound FtsH proteases containing an AAA+ (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) and a Zn2+ metalloprotease domain. However, in five of those, the zinc-binding motif HEXXH is either mutated (FtsHi1, 2, 4, 5) or completely missing (FtsHi3), rendering these enzymes presumably inactive in proteolysis. Still, homozygous null mutants of the pseudo-proteases FtsHi1, 2, 4, 5 are embryo-lethal. Homozygous ftshi3 or a weak point mutant in FTSHi1 are affected in overall plant growth and development. This review will focus on the findings concerning the FtsHi pseudo-proteases and their involvement in protein import, leading to consequences in embryogenesis, seed growth, chloroplast, and leaf development and oxidative stress management.

Abstract
Site-specific proteolytic processing is an important, irreversible post-translational protein modification with implications in many diseases. Enrichment of protein N-terminal peptides followed by mass spectrometry-based identification and quantification enables proteome-wide characterization of proteolytic processes and protease substrates but is challenged by the lack of specific annotation tools. A common problem is, for example, ambiguous matches of identified peptides to multiple protein entries in the databases used for identification. We developed MaxQuant Advanced N-termini Interpreter (MANTI), a standalone Perl software with an optional graphical user interface that validates and annotates N-terminal peptides identified by database searches with the popular MaxQuant software package by integrating information from multiple data sources. MANTI utilizes diverse annotation information in a multistep decision process to assign a conservative preferred protein entry for each N-terminal peptide, enabling automated classification according to the likely origin and determines significant changes in N-terminal peptide abundance. Auxiliary R scripts included in the software package summarize and visualize key aspects of the data. To showcase the utility of MANTI, we generated two large-scale TAILS N-terminome data sets from two different animal models of chemically and genetically induced kidney disease, puromycin adenonucleoside-treated rats (PAN), and heterozygous Wilms Tumor protein 1 mice (WT1). MANTI enabled rapid validation and autonomous annotation of >10 000 identified terminal peptides, revealing novel proteolytic proteoforms in 905 and 644 proteins, respectively. Quantitative analysis indicated that proteolytic activities with similar sequence specificity are involved in the pathogenesis of kidney injury and proteinuria in both models, whereas coagulation processes and complement activation were specifically induced after chemical injury.

Abstract
Chloroplasts are indispensable for higher plants. The growth and development of plants are very sensitive to environmental temperature changes, and chloroplast development is also regulated by adverse environmental temperatures. However, the molecular mechanism of how plants coordinate chloroplast development and environmental temperature changes remains largely unknown. Here, a temperature-conditioned chloroplast development defective mutant thermo-sensitive mutant in leaf color 2 (tsl2) of Arabidopsis was obtained through a forward genetic screening. The tsl2 mutant showed a weak yellowish phenotype at normal growth temperature (22°C), and the phenotype was more pronounced at low growth temperature (16°C) and largely rescued at high growth temperature (29°C). Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) revealed that TSL2 encodes FtsH-Inactive Protein 5 (FtsHi5). Genetic complementation analysis confirmed that complemented expression of FtsHi5 rescued the chlorophyll content and thylakoid development defects observed in tsl2 mutants at 16°C. Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis with Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) isobaric labeling revealed broad changes in the chloroplast proteome of tsl2 mutant plants at low temperature, which is agreed with the impaired chloroplast biogenesis and function in tsl2 plants. Together, our data demonstrates that FtsHi5/TSL2 plays an important role in chloroplast development and protein accumulation in chloroplasts, especially at low environmental temperatures in Arabidopsis.
