Cannon AE, Horn PJ. The Molecular Frequency, Conservation and Role of Reactive Cysteines in Plant Lipid Metabolism. PLANT & CELL PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 65:826-844.

Abstract
Cysteines (Cys) are chemically reactive amino acids containing sulfur that play diverse roles in plant biology. Recent proteomics investigations in Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed the presence of thiol post-translational modifications (PTMs) in several Cys residues. These PTMs are presumed to impact protein structure and function, yet mechanistic data regarding the specific Cys susceptible to modification and their biochemical relevance remain limited. To help address these limitations, we have conducted a wide-ranging analysis by integrating published datasets encompassing PTM proteomics (comparing S-sulfenylation, persulfidation, S-nitrosylation and S-acylation), genomics and protein structures, with a specific focus on proteins involved in plant lipid metabolism. The prevalence and distribution of modified Cys residues across all analyzed proteins is diverse and multifaceted. Nevertheless, by combining an evaluation of sequence conservation across 100+ plant genomes with AlphaFold-generated protein structures and physicochemical predictions, we have unveiled structural propensities associated with Cys modifications. Furthermore, we have identified discernible patterns in lipid biochemical pathways enriched with Cys PTMs, notably involving beta-oxidation, jasmonic acid biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis and wax biosynthesis. These collective findings provide valuable insights for future investigations targeting the mechanistic foundations of Cys modifications and the regulation of modified proteins in lipid metabolism and other metabolic pathways.

Abstract
The augmented prevalence of Se (Se) pollution can be attributed to various human activities, such as mining, coal combustion, oil extraction and refining, and agricultural irrigation. Although Se is vital for animals, humans, and microorganisms, excessive concentrations of this element can give rise to potential hazards. Consequently, numerous approaches have been devised to mitigate Se pollution, encompassing physicochemical techniques and bioremediation. The recognition of Se volatilization as a potential strategy for mitigating Se pollution in contaminated environments is underscored in this review. This study delves into the volatilization mechanisms in various organisms, including plants, microalgae, and microorganisms. By assessing the efficacy of Se removal and identifying the rate-limiting steps associated with volatilization, this paper provides insightful recommendations for Se mitigation. Constructed wetlands are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative in the treatment of Se volatilization. The fate, behavior, bioavailability, and toxicity of Se within complex environmental systems are comprehensively reviewed. This knowledge forms the basis for developing management plans that aimed at mitigating Se contamination in wetlands and protecting the associated ecosystems.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination negatively affects plants and animals in water as well as soils. Some microalgae can remove heavy metal contaminants from wastewater. The aim of this study was to screen green microalgae (GM) to identify those that tolerate high concentrations of toxic heavy metals in water as possible candidates for phytoremediation. Analyses of the tolerance, physiological parameters, ultrastructure, and transcriptomes of GM under Cd/Pb treatments were conducted. Compared with the other GM, Chlorella pyrenoidosa showed stronger tolerance to high concentrations of Cd/Pb. The reduced glutathione content and peroxidase activity were higher in C. pyrenoidosa than those in the other GM. Ultrastructural observations showed that, compared with other GM, C. pyrenoidosa had less damage to the cell surface and interior under Cd/Pb toxicity. Transcriptome analyses indicated that the "peroxisome" and "sulfur metabolism" pathways were enriched with differentially expressed genes under Cd/Pb treatments, and that CpSAT, CpSBP, CpKAT2, Cp2HPCL, CpACOX, CpACOX2, and CpACOX4, all of which encode antioxidant enzymes, were up-regulated under Cd/Pb treatments. These results show that C. pyrenoidosa has potential applications in the remediation of polluted water, and indicate that antioxidant enzymes contribute to Cd/Pb detoxification. These findings will be useful for producing algal strains for the purpose of bioremediation in water contamination.

Abstract
Agricultural productivity is constantly being forced to maintain yield stability to feed the enormously growing world population. However, shrinking arable and nutrient-deprived soil and abiotic and biotic stressor (s) in different magnitudes put additional challenges to achieving global food security. Though well-defined, the concept of macro, micronutrients, and beneficial elements is from a plant nutritional perspective. Among various micronutrients, selenium (Se) is essential in small amounts for the life cycle of organisms, including crops. Selenium has the potential to improve soil health, leading to the improvement of productivity and crop quality. However, Se possesses an immense encouraging phenomenon when supplied within the threshold limit, also having wide variations. The supplementation of Se has exhibited promising outcomes in lessening biotic and abiotic stress in various crops. Besides, bulk form, nano-Se, and biogenic-Se also revealed some merits and limitations. Literature suggests that the possibilities of biogenic-Se in stress alleviation and fortifying foods are encouraging. In this article, apart from adopting a combination of a conventional extensive review of the literature and bibliometric analysis, the authors have assessed the journey of Se in the "soil to spoon" perspective in a diverse agroecosystem to highlight the research gap area. There is no doubt that the time has come to seriously consider the tag of beneficial elements associated with Se, especially in the drastic global climate change era.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:240. [PMID: 38256795 PMCID: PMC10819959 DOI: 10.3390/plants13020240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, quinoa, as a nutritious and sustainable food material, has gained increasing popularity worldwide. To investigate the diversity of nutritional characteristics among different quinoa cultivars and explore their potential health benefits, metabolites of five quinoa cultivars (QL-1, SJ-1, SJ-2, KL-1 and KL-2) were compared by non-targeted metabolomics analysis based on UPLC-ZenoTOF-MS/MS in this study. A total of 248 metabolites across 13 categories were identified. Although the metabolite compositions were generally similar among the different quinoa cultivars, significant variations existed in their respective metabolite contents. Among the identified metabolites, amino acids/peptides, nucleosides, saponins and phenolic acids were the most abundant. Notably, SJ-1 exhibited the most distinct metabolite profile when compared to the other cultivars. Amino acids/peptides and nucleosides were found to be crucial factors contributing to the unique metabolite profile of SJ-1. Collectively, these aforementioned metabolites accounted for a substantial 60% of the total metabolites observed in each quinoa variety. Additionally, a correlation between the DPPH radical scavenging activity and the free phenolic content of quinoa was observed. Variations in phenolic content resulted in different antioxidant capacities among the quinoa cultivars, and SJ-1 exhibited lower phenolic levels and weaker antioxidant activity than the others. These results can provide important information for the development of quinoa resources.

Abstract
Dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) is one of the common arsenic (As) species present in soil and is more toxic to plants than others. Identifying the crucial elements for plant growth under DMA stress is essential to enhance plant tolerance to DMA. Herein, we provided for the first time an ionome-based approach to address this issue. The phenotype, As species and concentrations of 11 essential elements in lettuce tissues were monitored under exposures of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 mg L-1 DMA in hydroponic culture for 32 days. Lettuces remained normal (no significant difference in phenotype from the control) under 0.1-2 mg L-1 DMA stress, and were inhibited with fresh weights of leaf and root under 5 mg L-1 DMA stress. Integrating the difference in ionome profiles between the two growth states (normal and inhibited) and the responses of the individual element, Mg and S were clarified as the most possible candidates for the crucial elements for lettuce growth under DMA stress. Under 5 mg L-1 DMA stress, the accumulation of Mg and S declined, yet their BCF values were significantly increased, which was consistent with the change in BCF of DMA. Based on the physiological functions of Mg and S and the toxicity of DMA, it could be inferred that the enhanced transfer of Mg and S to leaves should be induced by the potential damage caused by the increased DMA accumulation in leaves, and would result in a shortage of both elements in roots as well as the growth inhibition.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) of chickens is an acute, high-contact, lytic infectious disease caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). The attenuated inactivated vaccine produced by DF-1 cells is an effective control method, but the epidemic protection demands from the world poultry industry remain unfulfilled. To improve the IBDV vaccine production capacity and reduce the economic losses caused by IBDV in chicken, cellular metabolic engineering is performed on host cells. In this study, when analyzing the metabolomic after IBDV infection of DF-1 cells and the exogenous addition of reduced glutathione (GSH), we found that glutathione metabolism had an important role in the propagation of IBDV in DF-1 cells, and the glutathione synthetase gene (gss) could be a limiting regulator in glutathione metabolism. Therefore, three stable recombinant cell lines GSS-L, GSS-M, and GSS-H (gss gene overexpression with low, medium, and high mRNA levels) were screened. We found that the recombinant GSS-M cell line had the optimal regulatory effect with a 7.19 ± 0.93-fold increase in IBDV titer. We performed oxidative stress and redox status analysis on different recombinant cell lines, and found that the overexpression of gss gene significantly enhanced the ability of host cells to resist oxidative stress caused by IBDV infection. This study established a high-efficiency DF-1 cells system for IBDV vaccine production by regulating glutathione metabolism, and underscored the importance of moderate gene expression regulation on the virus reproduction providing a way for rational and precise cell engineering.

Abstract
Amino acids (AA) are essential molecules for plant physiology, acting as precursor molecules for proteins and other organic compounds. Chloroplasts play a vital role in AA metabolism, yet little is known about the impact on AA metabolism of albino plants' lack of chloroplasts. In this study, we conducted a quantitative proteome analysis on albino and variegated somaclonal variants of Agave angustifolia Haw. to investigate metabolic alterations in chloroplast-deficient plants, with a focus on AA metabolic pathways. We identified 82 enzymes involved in AA metabolism, with 32 showing differential accumulation between the somaclonal variants. AaCM, AaALS, AaBCAT, AaIPMS1, AaSHMT, AaAST, AaCGS, and AaMS enzymes were particularly relevant in chloroplast-deficient Agave plantlets. Both variegated and albino phenotypes exhibited excessive synthesis of AA typically associated with chloroplasts (aromatic AAs, BCAAs, Asp, Lys, Pro and Met). Consistent trends were observed for AaBCAT and AaCM at mRNA and protein levels in albino plantlets. These findings highlight the critical activation and reprogramming of AA metabolic pathways in plants lacking chloroplasts. This study contributes to unraveling the intricate relationship between AA metabolism and chloroplast absence, offering insights into survival mechanisms of albino plants.

Singh S, Dubey NK, Tripathi DK, Gupta R, Singh VP. Nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide mediated regulation of chromium (VI) toxicity in wheat seedlings involves alterations in antioxidants and high affinity sulfate transporter. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 332:111697. [PMID: 37023859 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2023.111697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Chromium contamination of the soil is a major scientific concern with reference to crop productivity and human health. In recent years, several approaches are being employed in managing metal toxicity in crop plants. Here, we have investigated about potential and probable crosstalk of nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in mitigating hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] toxicity in wheat seedlings. Cr(VI) toxicity reduced the fresh mass and overall growth due to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased efficiency of AsA-GSH cycle and downregulation of high affinity sulfate transporter. However, exogenous treatment of NO and H2O2 significantly alleviated Cr toxicity. Application of NO and ROS scavengers reversed stress mitigating effects of NO and H2O2, respectively suggesting that endogenous NO and H2O2 are necessary for rendering Cr toxicity tolerance. Furthermore, NO rescued negative effect of diphenylene iodonium (DPI, NADPH oxidase inhibitor) and H2O2 reversed the negative effect of c-PTIO suggesting that they exhibit independent signalling in mitigating Cr stress. Altogether, data indicated that NO and H2O2 rendered mitigation of Cr stress by up-regulating enzymes (activity and relative gene expression) and metabolites of AsA-GSH cycle, high affinity sulfate transporter (relative gene expression) and glutathione biosynthesis which collectively controlled occurrence of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Since the discovery of an autonomous iron-sulfur cluster (Fe-S) assembly machinery in mitochondria, significant efforts to examine the nature of this process have been made. The assembly of Fe-S clusters occurs in two distinct steps with the initial synthesis of [2Fe-2S] clusters by a first machinery followed by a subsequent assembly into [4Fe-4S] clusters by a second machinery. Despite this knowledge, we still have only a rudimentary understanding of how Fe-S clusters are transferred and distributed among their respective apoproteins. In particular, demand created by continuous protein turnover and the sacrificial destruction of clusters for synthesis of biotin and lipoic acid reveal possible bottlenecks in the supply chain of Fe-S clusters. Taking available information from other species into consideration, this review explores the mitochondrial assembly machinery of Arabidopsis and provides current knowledge about the respective transfer steps to apoproteins. Furthermore, this review highlights biotin synthase and lipoyl synthase, which both utilize Fe-S clusters as a sulfur source. After extraction of sulfur atoms from these clusters, the remains of the clusters probably fall apart, releasing sulfide as a highly toxic by-product. Immediate refixation through local cysteine biosynthesis is therefore an essential salvage pathway and emphasizes the physiological need for cysteine biosynthesis in plant mitochondria.

Abstract
Plant growth is affected by various abiotic stresses, including water, temperature, light, salt, and heavy metals. Selenium (Se) is not an essential nutrient for plants but plays important roles in alleviating the abiotic stresses suffered by plants. This article summarizes the Se uptake and metabolic processes in plants and the functions of Se in response to water, temperature, light, salt, and heavy metal stresses in plants. Se promotes the uptake of beneficial substances, maintains the stability of plasma membranes, and enhances the activity of various antioxidant enzymes, thus alleviating adverse effects in plants under abiotic stresses. Future research directions on the relationship between Se and abiotic stresses in plants are proposed. This article will further deepen our understanding of the relationship between Se and plants.

Seed Protection of Solanum lycopersicum with Pythium oligandrum against Alternaria brassicicola and Verticillium albo-atrum. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10071348.

Abstract
Pythium oligandrum, strain M1, is a soil oomycete successfully used as a biological control agent (BCA), protecting plants against fungal, yeast, and oomycete pathogens through mycoparasitism and elicitor-dependent plant priming. The not yet described Pythium strains, X42 and 00X48, have shown potential as BCAs given the high activity of their secreted proteases, endoglycosidases, and tryptamine. Here, Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Micro-Tom seeds were coated with Pythium strains, and seedlings were exposed to fungal pathogens, either Alternaria brassicicola or Verticillium albo-atrum. The effects of both infection and seed-coating on plant metabolism were assessed by determining the activity and isoforms of antioxidant enzymes and endoglycosidases and the content of tryptamine, amino acids, and heat shock proteins. Dual culture competition testing and microscopy analysis confirmed mycoparasitism in all three Pythium strains. In turn, seed treatment significantly increased the total free amino acid content, changing their abundance in both non-infected and infected plants. In response to pathogens, plant Hsp70 and Hsp90 isoform levels also varied among Pythium strains, most likely as a strategy for priming the plant against infection. Overall, our results show in vitro mycoparasitism between Pythium strains and fungal pathogens and in planta involvement of heat shock proteins in priming.

Abstract
Plants encounter several abiotic stresses, among which heat stress is gaining paramount attention because of the changing climatic conditions. Severe heat stress conspicuously reduces crop productivity through changes in metabolic processes and in growth and development. Ethylene and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are signaling molecules involved in defense against heat stress through modulation of biomolecule synthesis, the antioxidant system, and post-translational modifications. Other compounds containing the essential mineral nutrient sulfur (S) also play pivotal roles in these defense mechanisms. As biosynthesis of ethylene and H2S is connected to the S-assimilation pathway, it is logical to consider the existence of a functional interplay between ethylene, H2S, and S in relation to heat stress tolerance. The present review focuses on the crosstalk between ethylene, H2S, and S to highlight their joint involvement in heat stress tolerance.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd), two major carcinogenic heavy metals, enters into human food chain by the consumption of rice or rice-based food products. Both As and Cd disturb plant-nutrient homeostasis and hence, reduces plant growth and crop productivity. In the present study, As/Cd modulated responses were studied in non-basmati (IR-64) and basmati (PB-1) rice varieties, at physiological, biochemical and transcriptional levels. At the seedling stage, PB-1 was found more sensitive than IR-64, in terms of root biomass; however, their shoot phenotype was comparable under As and Cd stress conditions. The ionomic data revealed significant nutrient deficiencies in As/Cd treated-roots. The principal component analysis identified NH4+ as As-associated key macronutrient; while, NH4+/NO3- and K+ was majorly associated with Cd mediated response, in both IR-64 and PB-1. Using a panel of 21 transporter gene expression, the extent of nutritional deficiency was ranked in the order of PB-1(As)<IR-64(As)<PB-1(Cd)<IR-64(Cd). A feed-forward model is proposed to explain nutrient deficiency induced de-regulation of gene expression, as observed under Cd-treated IR-64 plants, which was also validated at the level of sulphur metabolism related enzymes. Using urea supplementation, as nitrogen-fertilizer, significant mitigation was observed under As stress, as indicated by 1.018- and 0.794-fold increase in shoot biomass in IR-64 and PB-1, respectively compared to that of control. However, no significant amelioration was observed in response to supplementation of urea under Cd or potassium under As/Cd stress conditions. Thus, the study pinpointed the relative significance of various macronutrients in regulating As- and Cd-tolerance and will help in designing suitable strategies for mitigating As and/or Cd stress conditions.

Abstract
The contamination of groundwater and agricultural land by metalloids especially arsenic (As) is one of the most serious threats to people and plants worldwide. Therefore, the present study was design to explore the role of spermine (Spm)- mediated polyamine metabolism in the alleviation of arsenic (As) toxicity in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). It was noted that As stress caused reduction in the intracellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductivity and transpiration rate as compared to the control treatment and also impairedplant growth attributes and mineral nutrient homeostasis (sulfur, phosphorus, potassium and calcium). However, the exogenous application of Spm resulted in a considerable enhance in the content of glutathione and nitric oxide, and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione-reductase (GR), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) in P. vulgaris seedlings grown As-contaminated soil. In addition, Spm application significantly improved the endogenous production of putrescine and spermidine accompanied along with reduction in malondialdehyde, electrolyte leakage, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide level besides enhanced methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification. Moreover, Spm treatment elevated the expression level of zinc-finger proteins related genes (PvC3H24, PvC3H25, PvC3H26 and PvC3H27) involved in abiotic stress response. The study concluded that Spm acted as an enhancing agent and improved tolerance to As-toxicity by upregulating the expression of zinc-finger proteins related genes, polyamine metabolism, Mg detoxification and antioxidant system in P. vulgaris.

Abstract
Sulfur is essential for the health of plants and is an indispensable dietary component for human health and disease prevention. Its incorporation into our food supply is heavily reliant upon the uptake of sulfur into plant tissue and our subsequent intake. Dietary requirements for sulfur are largely calculated based upon requirements for the sulfur-containing amino acids (SAA), cysteine and methionine, to meet the demands for synthesis of proteins, enzymes, co-enzymes, vitamins, and hormones. SAA are found in abundance in animal sources and are relatively low in plants. However, some plants, particularly cruciferous and allium vegetables, produce many protective sulfur-containing secondary metabolites, such as glucosinolates and cysteine sulfoxides. The variety and quantity of these sulfur-containing metabolites are extensive and their effects on human health are wide-reaching. Many benefits appear to be related to sulfur's role in redox biochemistry, protecting against uncontrolled oxidative stress and inflammation; features consistent within cardiometabolic dysfunction and many chronic metabolic diseases of aging. This narrative explores the origins and importance of sulfur, its incorporation into our food supply and dietary sources. It also explores the overarching potential of sulfur for human health, particularly around the amelioration of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, and subsequent chronic disease prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The commercial preservation of table grapes largely depends on the application of sulfur dioxide (SO2 ). However, little is known about whether SO2 participates in sulfur metabolism to improve the postharvest quality of table grapes. In this study, the contents of sulfur-containing compounds, activities of enzymes, and expression of genes involved in sulfur metabolism in table grapes (Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless) were evaluated. RESULTS The results indicated that SO2 treatment maintained the postharvest quality of table grapes. The sulfite content in rachises and berries, but not the sulfate content, increased in response to SO2 treatment. SO2 caused high activities of sulfite reductase, O-acetylserine (thiol)-lyase, and γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase, thereby increasing the contents of cysteine, hydrogen sulfide, and glutathione in the rachises and berries. The expression of VvSURTL, VvATPS1, VvATPS2, and VvAPR3 decreased in response to SO2 treatment; however, the transcript levels of VvSiR1 and VvOASTL exhibited the opposite tendency. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that the sulfite converted from SO2 participated in sulfur metabolism and maintained the postharvest quality of table grapes by modulating the contents of metabolites, activities of enzymes, and expression of genes related to sulfur metabolism. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Sulfur has been previously reported to modulate plant growth and exhibit significant anti-microbial activities. However, the mechanism underlying its diverse effects on plant pathogens has not been elucidated completely. The present study conducted the two-year field experiment of sulfur application to control kiwifruit canker from 2017 to 2018. For the first time, our study uncovered activation of plant disease resistance by salicylic acid after sulfur application in kiwifruit. The results indicated that when the sulfur concentration was 1.5–2.0 kg m−3, the induced effect of kiwifruit canker reached more than 70%. Meanwhile, a salicylic acid high lever was accompanied by the decline of jasmonic acid. Further analysis revealed the high expression of the defense gene, especially AcPR-1, which is a marker of the salicylic acid signaling pathway. Additionally, AcICS1, another critical gene of salicylic acid synthesis, was also highly expressed. All contributed to the synthesis of increasing salicylic acid content in kiwifruit leaves. Moreover, the first key lignin biosynthetic AcPAL gene was marked up-regulated. Thereafter, accumulation of lignin content in the kiwifruit stem and the higher deposition of lignin were visible in histochemical analysis. Moreover, the activity of the endochitinase activity of kiwifruit leaves increased significantly. We suggest that the sulfur-induced resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae via salicylic activates systemic acquired resistance to enhance plant immune response in kiwifruit.

Abstract
Drought occurrence seriously affects the productivity and quality of apple crop worldwide. Autophagy, a conserved process for the degradation and recycling of unwanted cellular components, is considered to positively regulate the tolerance of various abiotic stresses in plants. In the current study, we isolated two ATG5 homologs genes, namely, MdATG5a and MdATG5b, from apple, demonstrating their responsiveness to drought and oxidative stresses. In addition to having the same cellular localization in the nucleus and cytoplasm, both MdATG5a and MdATG5b could interact with MdATG12. Transgenic apple plants overexpressing MdATG5a exhibited an improved drought tolerance, as indicated by less drought-related damage and higher photosynthetic capacities compared to wild-type (WT) plants under drought stress. The overexpression of MdATG5a improved antioxidant defenses in apple when exposed to drought via elevating both antioxidant enzyme activities and the levels of beneficial antioxidants. Furthermore, under drought stress, the overexpression of MdATG5a promoted the mobilization of starch to accumulate greater levels of soluble sugars, contributing to osmotic adjustments and supporting carbon skeletons for proline synthesis. Such changes in physiological responses may be associated with increased autophagic activities in the transgenic plants upon exposure to drought. Our results demonstrate that MdATG5a-mediated autophagy enhances drought tolerance of apple plants via improving antioxidant defenses and metabolic adjustments.

Abstract
Plants absorb sulfur from the environment and assimilate it into suitable forms for the biosynthesis of a broad range of molecules. Although the biochemical pathway of sulfur assimilation is known, how genetic differences contribute to natural variation in sulfur assimilation remains poorly understood. Here, using a genome-wide association study, we uncovered a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant in the sulfite reductase (SiR) gene that was significantly associated with SiR protein abundance in a maize natural association population. We also demonstrated that the synonymous C to G base change at SNP69 may repress translational activity by altering messenger RNA secondary structure, which leads to reduction in ZmSiR protein abundance and sulfur assimilation activity. Population genetic analyses showed that the SNP69C allele was likely a variant occurring after the initial maize domestication and accumulated with the spread of maize cultivation from tropical to temperate regions. This study provides the first evidence that genetic polymorphisms in the exon of ZmSiR could influence the protein abundance through a posttranscriptional mechanism and in part contribute to natural variation in sulfur assimilation. These findings provide a prospective target to improve maize varieties with proper sulfur nutrient levels assisted by molecular breeding and engineering.

Abstract
Plants evolved specialized metabolic pathways through gene duplication and functional divergence of enzymes involved in primary metabolism. The results of this process are varied pathways that produce an array of natural products useful to both plants and humans. In plants, glucosinolates are a diverse class of natural products. Glucosinolate function stems from their hydrolysis products, which are responsible for the strong flavors of Brassicales plants, such as mustard, and serve as plant defense molecules by repelling insects, fighting fungal infections, and discouraging herbivory. Additionally, certain hydrolysis products such as isothiocyanates can potentially serve as cancer prevention agents in humans. The breadth of glucosinolate function is a result of its great structural diversity, which comes from the use of aliphatic, aromatic and indole amino acids as precursors and elongation of some side chains by up to nine carbons, which, after the formation of the core glucosinolate structure, can undergo further chemical modifications. Aliphatic methionine-derived glucosinolates are the most abundant form of these compounds. Although both elongation and chemical modification of amino acid side chains are important for aliphatic glucosinolate diversity, its elongation process has not been well described at the molecular level. Here, we summarize new insights on the iterative chain-elongation enzymes methylthioalkylmalate synthase (MAMS) and isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH).

[PMID: 33992839 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2021.104265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is essential to ensure grain yield and quality in bread wheat. Improving N use efficiency is therefore crucial for wheat grain protein quality. In the present work, we analysed the effects on the winter wheat grain proteome of biostimulants containing Glutacetine® or two derived formulations (VNT1 and 4) when mixed with urea-ammonium-nitrate fertilizer. A large-scale quantitative proteomics analysis of two wheat flour fractions produced a dataset of 4369 identified proteins. Quantitative analysis revealed 9, 39 and 96 proteins with a significant change in abundance after Glutacetine®, VNT1 and VNT4 treatments, respectively, with a common set of 11 proteins that were affected by two different biostimulants. The major effects impacted proteins involved in (i) protein synthesis regulation (mainly ribosomal and binding proteins), (ii) defence and responses to stresses (including chitin-binding protein, heat shock 70 kDa protein 1 and glutathione S-transferase proteins), (iii) storage functions related to gluten protein alpha-gliadins and starch synthase and (iv) seed development with proteins implicated in protease activity, energy machinery, and the C and N metabolism pathways. Altogether, our study showed that Glutacetine®, VNT1 and VNT4 biostimulants positively affected protein composition related to grain quality. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD021513. SIGNIFICANCE: We performed a large-scale quantitative proteomics study of the total protein extracts from flour samples to determine the effect of Glutacetine®-based biostimulants treatment on the protein composition of bread wheat grain. To our knowledge, only a few studies in the literature have applied proteomic approaches to study bread wheat grains and in particular to investigate the effect of biostimulants on the grain proteome of this cereal crop. In addition, most approaches used fractional extraction of proteins to target reserve proteins followed electrophoresis which leads to low identification rate of proteins. We identified and quantified a large protein dataset of 4369 proteins and determined ontological class of proteins affected by biostimulants treatments. Our proteomics investigation revealed the important role of these new biostimulants in achieving significant changes in protein synthesis regulation, storage functions, protease activity, energy machinery, C and N metabolism pathways and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses in grain.

Abstract
Iron-containing proteins, including iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins, are essential for numerous electron transfer and metabolic reactions. They are present in most subcellular compartments. In plastids, in addition to sustaining the linear and cyclic photosynthetic electron transfer chains, Fe-S proteins participate in carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur assimilation, tetrapyrrole and isoprenoid metabolism, and lipoic acid and thiamine synthesis. The synthesis of Fe-S clusters, their trafficking, and their insertion into chloroplastic proteins necessitate the so-called sulfur mobilization (SUF) protein machinery. In the first part, we describe the molecular mechanisms that allow Fe-S cluster synthesis and insertion into acceptor proteins by the SUF machinery and analyze the occurrence of the SUF components in microalgae, focusing in particular on the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In the second part, we describe chloroplastic Fe-S protein-dependent pathways that are specific to Chlamydomonas or for which Chlamydomonas presents specificities compared to terrestrial plants, putting notable emphasis on the contribution of Fe-S proteins to chlorophyll synthesis in the dark and to the fermentative metabolism. The occurrence and evolutionary conservation of these enzymes and pathways have been analyzed in all supergroups of microalgae performing oxygenic photosynthesis.

Abstract
Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. S is majorly absorbed as sulfate from soil, and is then translocated to plastids in leaves, where it is assimilated into organic products. Cysteine (Cys) is the first organic product generated from S, and it is used as a precursor to synthesize many S-containing metabolites with important biological functions, such as glutathione (GSH) and methionine (Met). The reduction of sulfate takes place in a two-step reaction involving a variety of enzymes. Sulfate transporters (SULTRs) are responsible for the absorption of SO42- from the soil and the transport of SO42- in plants. There are 12-16 members in the S transporter family, which is divided into five categories based on coding sequence homology and biochemical functions. When exposed to S deficiency, plants will alter a series of morphological and physiological processes. Adaptive strategies, including cis-acting elements, transcription factors, non-coding microRNAs, and phytohormones, have evolved in plants to respond to S deficiency. In addition, there is crosstalk between S and other nutrients in plants. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in understanding the mechanisms underlying S homeostasis in plants.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has become a new signal molecule in higher plants which seems to be involved in almost all physiological processes from seed germination, root and plant growth until flowering and fruit ripening. Moreover, H2S also participates in the mechanism of response against adverse environmental stresses. However, its basic biochemistry in plant cells can be considered in a nascent stage. Using the available information of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the goal of the present study is to provide a broad overview of H2S metabolism and to display an in silico analysis of the 26 enzymatic components involved in the metabolism of H2S and their subcellular compartmentation (cytosol, chloroplast and mitochondrion) thus providing a wide picture of the cross-talk inside the organelles and amongst them and, consequently, to get a better understanding of the cellular and tissue implications of H2S. This information will be also relevant for other crop species, especially those whose whole genome is not yet available.

Exogenous nitric oxide alleviates sulfur deficiency-induced oxidative damage in tomato seedlings. Nitric Oxide 2019; 94:95-107.

Abstract
Despite numerous reports on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in regulating plants growth and mitigating different environmental stresses, its participation in sulfur (S) -metabolism remains largely unknown. Therefore, we studied the role of NO in S acquisition and S-assimilation in tomato seedlings under low S-stress conditions by supplying NO to the leaves of S-sufficient and S-deficient seedlings. S-starved plants exhibited a substantial decreased in plant growth attributes, photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll (Chl) and other photosynthetic parameters, and activity of enzymes involved in Chl biosynthesis (δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase), and photosynthetic processes (carbonic anhydrase and RuBisco). Also, S-deficiency enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) (superoxide and hydrogen peroxide) and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) levels in tomato seedlings. Contrarily, foliar supplementation of NO to S-deficient seedlings resulted in considerably reduced ROS formation in leaves and roots, which alleviated low S-stress-induced lipid peroxidation. However, exogenous NO enhanced proline accumulation by increasing proline metabolizing enzyme (Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase) activity and also increased NO, hydrogen sulfide (a gasotransmitter small signaling molecule) and S uptake, and content of S-containing compounds (cysteine and reduced glutathione). Under S-limited conditions, NO improved S utilization efficiency of plants by upregulating the activity of S-assimilating enzymes (ATP sulfurylase, adenosine 5-phosphosulfate reductase, sulfide reductase and O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase). Under S-deprived conditions, improved S-assimilation of seedlings receiving NO resulted in improved redox homeostasis and ascorbate content through increased NO and S uptake. Application of 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxy l-3-oxide (an NO scavenger) invalidated the effect of NO and again caused low S-stress-induced oxidative damage, confirming the beneficial role of NO in seedlings under S-deprived conditions. Thus, exogenous NO enhanced the tolerance of tomato seedlings to limit S-triggered oxidative stress and improved photosynthetic performance and S assimilation.
