Proteome plasticity during Physcomitrium patens spore germination - from the desiccated phase to heterotrophic growth and reconstitution of photoautotrophy. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 117:1466-1486. [PMID: 38059656 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.16574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
The establishment of moss spores is considered a milestone in plant evolution. They harbor protein networks underpinning desiccation tolerance and accumulation of storage compounds that can be found already in algae and that are also utilized in seeds and pollen. Furthermore, germinating spores must produce proteins that drive the transition through heterotrophic growth to the autotrophic plant. To get insight into the plasticity of this proteome, we investigated it at five timepoints of moss (Physcomitrium patens) spore germination and in protonemata and gametophores. The comparison to previously published Arabidopsis proteome data of seedling establishment showed that not only the proteomes of spores and seeds are functionally related, but also the proteomes of germinating spores and young seedlings. We observed similarities with regard to desiccation tolerance, lipid droplet proteome composition, control of dormancy, and β-oxidation and the glyoxylate cycle. However, there were also striking differences. For example, spores lacked any obvious storage proteins. Furthermore, we did not detect homologs to the main triacylglycerol lipase in Arabidopsis seeds, SUGAR DEPENDENT1. Instead, we discovered a triacylglycerol lipase of the oil body lipase family and a lipoxygenase as being the overall most abundant proteins in spores. This finding indicates an alternative pathway for triacylglycerol degradation via oxylipin intermediates in the moss. The comparison of spores to Nicotiana tabacum pollen indicated similarities for example in regards to resistance to desiccation and hypoxia, but the overall developmental pattern did not align as in the case of seedling establishment and spore germination.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are important organelles conserved across eukaryotes with a fascinating biogenesis and consumption cycle. Recent intensive research has focused on uncovering the cellular biology of LDs, with emphasis on their degradation. Briefly, two major pathways for LD degradation have been recognized: (1) lipolysis, in which lipid degradation is catalyzed by lipases on the LD surface, and (2) lipophagy, in which LDs are degraded by autophagy. Both of these pathways require the collective actions of several lipolytic and proteolytic enzymes, some of which have been purified and analyzed for their in vitro activities. Furthermore, several genes encoding these proteins have been cloned and characterized. In seed plants, seed germination is initiated by the hydrolysis of stored lipids in LDs to provide energy and carbon equivalents for the germinating seedling. However, little is known about the mechanism regulating the LD mobilization. In this review, we focus on recent progress toward understanding how lipids are degraded and the specific pathways that coordinate LD mobilization in plants, aiming to provide an accurate and detailed outline of the process. This will set the stage for future studies of LD dynamics and help to utilize LDs to their full potential.

Abstract
Pollen lipids are essential for sexual reproduction, but our current knowledge regarding lipid dynamics in growing pollen tubes is still very scarce. Here, we report unique lipid composition and associated gene expression patterns during olive pollen germination. Up to 376 genes involved in the biosynthesis of all lipid classes, except suberin, cutin and lipopolysaccharides, are expressed in olive pollen. The fatty acid profile of olive pollen is markedly different compared with other plant organs. Triacylglycerol (TAG), containing mostly C12-C16 saturated fatty acids, constitutes the bulk of olive pollen lipids. These compounds are partially mobilized, and the released fatty acids enter the β-oxidation pathway to yield acetyl-CoA, which is converted into sugars through the glyoxylate cycle during the course of pollen germination. Our data suggest that fatty acids are synthesized de novo and incorporated into glycerolipids by the 'eukaryotic pathway' in elongating pollen tubes. Phosphatidic acid is synthesized de novo in the endomembrane system during pollen germination and seems to have a central role in pollen tube lipid metabolism. The coordinated action of fatty acid desaturases FAD2-3 and FAD3B might explain the increase in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids observed in germinating pollen. Continuous synthesis of TAG by the action of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) enzyme, but not phosphoplipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT), also seems plausible. All these data allow for a better understanding of lipid metabolism during the olive reproductive process, which can impact, in the future, on the increase in olive fruit yield and, therefore, olive oil production.

Abstract
The number of known proteins associated with plant lipid droplets (LDs) is small compared with other organelles. Many aspects of LD biosynthesis and degradation are unknown, and identifying and characterizing candidate LD proteins could help elucidate these processes. Here, we analyzed the proteome of LD-enriched fractions isolated from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) pollen tubes. Proteins that were highly enriched in comparison with the total or cytosolic fraction were further tested for LD localization via transient expression in pollen tubes. One of these proteins, PLANT UBX DOMAIN-CONTAINING PROTEIN10 (PUX10), is a member of the plant UBX domain-containing (PUX) protein family. This protein localizes to LDs via a unique hydrophobic polypeptide sequence and can recruit the AAA-type ATPase CELL DIVISION CYCLE48 (CDC48) protein via its UBX domain. PUX10 is conserved in Arabidopsis thaliana and expressed in embryos, pollen tubes, and seedlings. In pux10 knockout mutants in Arabidopsis, LD size is significantly increased. Proteomic analysis of pux10 mutants revealed a delayed degradation of known LD proteins, some of which possessed ubiquitination sites. We propose that PUX10 is involved in a protein degradation pathway at LDs, mediating an interaction between polyubiquitinated proteins targeted for degradation and downstream effectors such as CDC48.

Abstract
Oleosins are the most abundant proteins in the monolipid layer surrounding neutral storage lipids that form oil bodies in plants. Several lines of evidence indicate that they are physiologically important for the maintenance of oil body structure and for mobilization of the lipids stored inside. Rice has six oleosin genes in its genome, the expression of all of which was found to be responsive to abscisic acid (ABA) in our examination of mature embryo and aleurone tissues. The 5'-flanking region of OsOle5 was initially characterized for its responsiveness to ABA through a transient expression assay system using the protoplasts from suspension-cultured rice cells. A series of successive deletions and site-directed mutations identified five regions critical for the hormonal induction of its promoter activity. A search for cis-acting elements in these regions deposited in a public database revealed that they contain various promoter elements previously reported to be involved in the ABA response of various genes. A gain-of-function experiment indicated that multiple copies of all five regions were sufficient to provide the minimal promoter with a distinct ABA responsiveness. Comparative sequence analysis of the short, but still ABA-responsive, promoters of OsOle genes revealed no common modular architecture shared by them, indicating that various distinct promoter elements and independent trans-acting factors are involved in the ABA responsiveness of rice oleosin multigenes.

Abstract
Plants in a temperate climate are often subject to different environmental factors, chilling stress among them, which influence the growth especially during early stages of plant development. Chloroplasts are one of the first organelles affected by the chilling stress. Therefore the proper biogenesis of chloroplasts in early stages of plant growth is crucial for undertaking the photosynthetic activity. In this paper, the analysis of the cotyledon chloroplast biogenesis at different levels of plastid organization was performed in cucumber, one of the most popular chilling sensitive crops. Influence of low temperature on the ultrastructure was manifested by partial recrystallization of the prolamellar body, the formation of elongated grana thylakoids and a change of the prolamellar body structure from the compacted "closed" type to a more loose "open" type. Structural changes are strongly correlated with galactolipid and carotenoid content. Substantial changes in the galactolipid and the carotenoid composition in dark-chilled plants, especially a decrease of the monogalactosyldiacylglycerol to digalactosyldiacylglycerol ratio (MGDG/DGDG) and an increased level of lutein, responsible for a decrease in membrane fluidity, were registered together with a slower adaptation to higher light intensity and an increased level of non-photochemical reactions. Changes in the grana thylakoid fluidity, of their structure and photosynthetic efficiency in developing chloroplasts of dark-chilled plants, without significant changes in the PSI/PSII ratio, could distort the balance of photosystem rearrangements and be one of the reasons of cucumber sensitivity to chilling.

Abstract
Cytosolic lipid droplets are dynamic lipid-storage organelles that play a crucial role as reservoirs of metabolic energy and membrane precursors. These organelles are present in virtually all cell types, from unicellular to pluricellular organisms. Despite similar structural organization, lipid droplets are heterogeneous in morphology, distribution and composition. The protein repertoire associated to lipid droplet controls the organelle dynamics. Distinct structural lipid droplet proteins are associated to specific lipolytic pathways. The role of these structural lipid droplet-associated proteins in the control of lipid droplet degradation and lipid store mobilization is discussed. The control of the strictly-regulated lipolysis in lipid-storing tissues is compared between mammals and plants. Differences in the cellular regulation of lipolysis between lipid-storing tissues and other cell types are also discussed.

Abstract
In oleaginous seeds, lipids--stored in organelles called oil bodies (OBs)--are degraded post-germinatively to provide carbon and energy for seedling growth. To date, little is known about how OB coat proteins, known as oleosins, control OB dynamics during seed germination. Here, we demonstrated that the sequential proteolysis of the five Arabidopsis thaliana oleosins OLE1-OLE5 begins just prior to lipid degradation. Several post-translational modifications (e.g. phosphorylation and ubiquination) of oleosins were concomitant with oleosin degradation. Phosphorylation occurred only on the minor OLE5 and on an 8 kDa proteolytic fragment of OLE2. A combination of immunochemical and proteomic approaches revealed ubiquitination of the four oleosins OLE1-OLE4 at the onset of OB mobilization. Ubiquitination topology was surprisingly complex. OLE1 and OLE2 were modified by three distinct and predominantly exclusive motifs: monoubiquitin, K48-linked diubiquitin (K48Ub(2)) and K63-linked diubiquitin. Ubiquitinated oleosins may be channeled towards specific degradation pathways according to ubiquitination type. One of these pathways was identified as the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. A proteasome inhibitor (MG132) reduced oleosin degradation and induced cytosolic accumulation of K48Ub(2)-oleosin aggregates. These results indicate that K48Ub(2)-modified oleosins are selectively extracted from OB coat and degraded by the proteasome. Proteasome inhibition also reduced lipid hydrolysis, providing in vivo evidence that oleosin degradation is required for lipid mobilization.

Abstract
After oil bodies (OBs) were extracted from ungerminated soybean by pH 6.8 extraction, it was found that 24 and 18 kDa oleosins were hydrolyzed in the extracted OBs, which contained many OB extrinsic proteins (i.e., lipoxygenase, β-conglycinin, γ-conglycinin, β-amylase, glycinin, Gly m Bd 30K (Bd 30K), and P34 probable thiol protease (P34)) as well as OB intrinsic proteins. In this study, some properties (specificity, optimal pH and temperature) of the proteases of 24 and 18 kDa oleosins and the oleosin hydrolysis in soybean germination were examined, and the high relationship between Bd 30K/P34 and the proteases was also discussed. The results showed (1) the proteases were OB extrinsic proteins, which had high specificity to hydrolyze 24 and 18 kDa oleosins, and cleaved the specific peptide bonds to form limited hydrolyzed products; (2) 24 and 18 kDa oleosins were not hydrolyzed in the absence of Bd 30K and P34 (or some Tricine-SDS-PAGE undetectable proteins); (3) the protease of 24 kDa oleosin had strong resistance to alkaline pH while that of 18 kDa oleosin had weak resistance to alkaline pH, and Bd 30K and P34, resolved into two spots on two-dimensional electrophoresis gel, also showed the same trend; (4) 16 kDa oleosin as well as 24 and 18 kDa oleosins were hydrolyzed in soybean germination, and Bd 30K and P34 were always contained in the extracted OBs from germinated soybean even when all oleosins were hydrolyzed; (5) the optimal temperature and pH of the proteases were respectively determined as in the ranges of 35-50 °C and pH 6.0-6.5, while 60 °C or pH 11.0 could denature them.

Abstract
The major seed storage reserves in oilseeds are accumulated in protein bodies and oil bodies, and serve as an energy, carbon, and nitrogen source during germination. Here, the spatio-temporal relationships between protein bodies and several key enzymes (phospholipase A, lipase, and lipoxygenase) involved in storage lipid mobilization in cotyledon cells was analysed during in vitro seed germination. Enzyme activities were assayed in-gel and their cellular localization were determined using microscopy techniques. At seed maturity, phospholipase A and triacylglycerol lipase activities were found exclusively in protein bodies. However, after seed imbibition, these activities were shifted to the cytoplasm and the surface of the oil bodies. The activity of neutral lipases was detected by using α-naphthyl palmitate and it was associated mainly with protein bodies during the whole course of germination. This pattern of distribution was highly similar to the localization of neutral lipids, which progressively appeared in protein bodies. Lipoxygenase activity was found in both the protein bodies and on the surface of the oil bodies during the initial phase of seed germination. The association of lipoxygenase with oil bodies was temporally correlated with the appearance of phospholipase A and lipase activities on the surface of oil bodies. It is concluded that protein bodies not only serve as simple storage structures, but are also dynamic and multifunctional organelles directly involved in storage lipid mobilization during olive seed germination.

Abstract
In some plants, pollen grains accumulate storage lipids that serve as energy supply during germination. Here, three enzymes involved in early steps of oil body mobilization in the male gametophyte were functionally characterized for the first time. The effect of extracellular sugars on pollen performance and oil body dynamics was also analysed. Olive pollen oil bodies showed phospholipase A, lipase, and lipoxygenase activities on their surface. Enzyme activity levels increased during germination with a maximum after 3h. Removal of extracellular sugars from the germination medium did not affect pollen performance but increased enzyme activity rates and sped up oil body mobilization. Inhibitors seriously hampered pollen germination and pollen tube growth, leading to a characteristic accumulation of oil bodies in the germinative aperture. It can be concluded that storage lipids are sufficient for proper olive pollen germination. A lipase and a lipoxygenase are likely involved in oil body mobilization. Extracellular sugars may modulate their function, while a phospholipase A may promote their access to the storage lipids.

Abstract
Lipoxygenase (linoleate:oxygen oxidoreductase; EC 1.13.11.12; LOX) catalyzes oxygenation of polyenoic fatty acids, which precedes the degradation of storage lipids during seed germination in sunflower. In the present work, it has been confirmed that 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H(2)DCFDA) produces fluorescence in presence of lipid hydroperoxides (LOX reaction products). This work provides new information on spatial localization of transiently enhanced LOX activity in protoplasts from 5 d old seedling cotyledons of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Morden) by exploiting H(2)DCFDA as a probe for fluorescence detection from LOX activity sites. Use of LOX inhibitors [nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and propyl gallate (PG)] confirms oil bodies as LOX activity sites. Oil body surface has been shown to possess LOX activity in 5 d old seedling cotyledons.

Abstract
Oilseed germination is characterized by the mobilization of storage lipids as a carbon and energy source for embryonic growth. In addition to storage lipid degradation in germinating oilseeds via the direct action of a triacylglycerol lipase (TGL) on the storage lipids, a second degradation pathway that is dependent on a specific lipid body trilinoleate 13-lipoxygenase (13-LOX) has been proposed in several plant species. The activity of this specific 13-LOX leads first to the formation of ester lipid hydroperoxides. These hydroperoxy fatty acids are then preferentially cleaved off by a TGL and serve as a substrate for glyoxysomal β-oxidation. As a prerequisite for triacylglycerol (TAG) mobilization, a partial degradation of the phospholipid monolayer and/or membrane proteins of the oil body has been discussed. Evidence has now been found for both processes: partial degradation of the proteins caleosin and oleosin was observed and simultaneously a patatin-like protein together with transient phospholipase (PLase) activity could be detected at the oil body membranes during germination. Moreover, in vitro experiments with isolated oil bodies from mature seeds revealed that the formation of 13-LOX-derived lipid peroxides in lipid body membranes is increased after incubation with the purified recombinant patatin-like protein. These experiments suggest that in vivo the degradation of storage lipids in cucumber cotyledons is promoted by the activity of a specific oil body PLase, which leads to an increased decomposition of the oil body membrane by the 13-LOX and thereby TAGs may be better accessible to LOX and TGL.

Abstract
Prior to and/or accompanying lipolytic degradation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) during seed germination in oilseeds, certain enzymatic and non-enzymatic signaling molecules are expressed on the oil body membranes. These include certain proteases, lipoxygenase, phospholipase A(2) and lipase. Although enough biochemical investigations have demonstrated their activities, recent developments in the in situ localization of these signaling molecules in germinating oilseeds, have enhanced our understanding in this field. This is evident from the temporal and spatial changes observed in the expression pattern of some of these molecules. Present review aims at providing an up-to-date account of these recent developments in the author's and other laboratories, which are largely based on fluorescence microscopic and confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM) imaging of the molecular changes using specific fluorescent probes. A model for the molecular events associated with oil body mobilization is also being presented.

Abstract
Enzyme access, kinetic behavior, and protein-protein interactions are critical for explaining reaction of the metabolites contained within the myriad compartments of biological systems. To explore these relationships, the reaction kinetics of oil bodies versus oil emulsions as substrates for lipolytic reactions were measured. The initial rate of hydrolysis for the oil body system was comparatively very low due to a brief latency period. However, the complete activation of the lipase at the interface resulted in an enzyme-membrane complex that was catalytically enhanced 3-15-fold over the emulsion system for substrate concentrations in the measured range of approximately 1-5.5 mM. This disparity is explained by the availability of substrate to the enzyme active site (defined as the availability parameter "A") which varies between the two substrates by 40-fold. A simple hyperbolic kinetic mechanism is proposed with Km replaced by the parameter, A, to account for this phenomenon, leading to a maximum rate of approximately 1450 IU/ mg protein. The interaction is verified through separation of the enzyme-membrane complex which shows nearly double the activity towards an emulsified soybean oil substrate (activity ratio of 5:3) when compared to the native enzyme.

Abstract
The lipoxygenase family of lipid-peroxidizing, nonheme iron dioxygenases form products that are precursors for diverse physiological processes in both plants and animals. In soybean (Glycine max), five vegetative isoforms, VLX-A, VLX-B, VLX-C, VLX-D, VLX-E, and four seed isoforms LOX-1, LOX-2, LOX-3a, LOX-3b have been identified. In this study, we determined the crystal structures of the substrate-free forms of two major vegetative isoforms, with distinct enzymatic characteristics, VLX-B and VLX-D. Their structures are similar to the two seed isoforms, LOX-1 and LOX-3, having two domains with similar secondary structural elements: a beta-barrel N-terminal domain containing highly flexible loops and an alpha-helix-rich C-terminal catalytic domain. Detailed comparison of the structures of these two vegetative isoforms with the structures of LOX-1 and LOX-3 reveals important differences that help explain distinct aspects of the activity and positional specificity of these enzymes. In particular, the shape of the three branches of the internal subcavity, corresponding to substrate-binding and O(2) access, differs among the isoforms in a manner that reflects the differences in positional specificities.

Abstract
The activity of a 65 kDa, cytosolic protease from sunflower seedling cotyledons coincides with the degradation of oleosins during seed germination. Further investigations carried out in this laboratory have demonstrated the probable association of a thiol-protease with oil bodies, leading to gradual degradation of oleosins during seedling growth. Evidence to this effect have been brought out through zymographic detection of protease activity from oil bodies, degradation of oleosins by electrophoretically eluted protease from the seedling cotyledons and inhibition of protease activity by thiol-protease inhibitor, such as N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). In addition to these biochemical evidence, visualization of thiol-protease activity has also been achieved by a novel fluorescence microscopic method and confocal imaging. It involves the uptake and binding of a fluorogenic thiol-protease inhibitor (fluorescein mercuric acetate, FMA) at the intracellular thiol-protease activity sites in protoplasts, leading to fluorescence emission at 523 nm following excitation at 499 nm. Maximum protease activity is observed in 4-d-old seedling cotyledons, coinciding with the phase of active triacylglycerol (TAGs) hydrolysis. All these observations provide evidence for the expression of the said thiol-protease activity on the oil body surface, leading to gradual proteolysis of oleosins during seed germination.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is common to all biological systems, both appearing in developmentally and environmentally regulated processes. Products are hydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acids and metabolites derived there from collectively named oxylipins. They may either originate from chemical oxidation or are synthesized by the action of various enzymes, such as lipoxygenases (LOXes). Signalling compounds such as jasmonates, antimicrobial and antifungal compounds such as leaf aldehydes or divinyl ethers, and a plant-specific blend of volatiles including leaf alcohols are among the numerous products. Cloning of many LOXes and other key enzymes metabolizing oxylipins, as well as analyses by reverse genetic approaches and metabolic profiling revealed new insights on oxylipin functions, new reactions and the first hints on enzyme mechanisms. These aspects are reviewed with respect to function of specific LOX forms and on the development of new models on their substrate and product specificity.

Abstract
A tomato lipase gene homologous to Arabidopsis DAD1 (lipase homologous to DAD1; LeLID1) was cloned and characterized. The corresponding transcript increased rapidly during germination of the seeds and reached a maximum level at four days after germination. Thereafter, it decreased rapidly. Little expression could be found in flowers or fruits. Immunoblot analyses showed that the gene products could be found in the cotyledons and hypocotyls, but not in the roots. In the cotyledons most LeLID1 could be recovered in a soluble fraction. The recombinant LeLID1 protein showed maximum lipase activity at pH 8.0. It showed high activity against triacylglycerols (TAGs) with long acyl chains, but little activity with phosphatidylcholine or monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. TAGs composed of short acyl chains could not be a substrate for the enzyme. A possible involvement of LeLID1 in fat mobilization during seed germination is discussed.

Abstract
Until now, there has been no conclusive demonstration of any in vivo oleosin degradation at the early stages of oil body mobilization. The present work on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) has demonstrated limited oleosin degradation during seed germination. Seedling cotyledon homogenization in Tris-urea buffer, followed by SDS-PAGE, revealed three oleosins (16, 17.5 and 20 kDa). Incubation of oil bodies with total soluble protein from 4-day-old seedlings resulted in oleosin degradation. In vitro and in vivo degradation of the 17.5-kDa oleosin was faster than the other two, indicating its greater susceptibility to proteolysis. Oleosin degradation by the total soluble protein resulted in a transient 14.5-kDa polypeptide, followed by an 11-kDa protease-protected fragment, which appeared post-germinatively and accumulated corresponding to increased rate of lipid mobilization. A 65-kDa protease, active at pH 7.5-9.5, was zymographically detected in the total soluble protein. Its activity increased along with in vivo accumulation of the protease-protected fragment during seed germination and accompanying lipid mobilization. Protease-treated oil bodies were more susceptible to maize lipase action. Differential proteolytic sensitivity of different oleosins in the oil body membranes could be a determinant of oil body longevity during seed germination.

Abstract
Oilseed germination is characterized by the mobilization of storage lipids as a carbon source for the germinating seedling. In spite of the importance of lipid mobilization, its mechanism is only partially understood. Recent data suggest that a novel degradation mechanism is initiated by a 13-lipoxygenase during germination, using esterified fatty acids specifically as substrates. This 13-lipoxygenase reaction leads to a transient accumulation of ester lipid hydroperoxides in the storage lipids, and the corresponding oxygenated fatty acid moieties are preferentially removed by specific lipases. The free hydroperoxy fatty acids are subsequently reduced to their hydroxy derivatives, which might in turn undergo beta-oxidation.

Abstract
We report the formation and appearance of loosely stacked extended grana like structures along with plastoglobuli in the chloroplasts isolated from 27-day old senescing cucumber cotyledons. The origin and the nature of these extended grana structures have not been elucidated earlier. We isolated Photosystem I complexes from 6-day-old control and 27-day-old senescing cotyledons. The chlorophyll a/b ratio of the isolated Photosystem I complex obtained from 6-day cotyledons was 5-5.5 as against a ratio of 2.9 was found in Photosystem I complexes obtained from 27-day-old senescing cotyledons. We also found that the presence of LHC II in the Photosystem I complexes isolated from 27-day cotyledonary chloroplasts. The presence of LHC II in Photosystem I complexes in senescing and not in control samples, clearly suggest the detachment and diffusion of LHC II complexes from stacked grana region to Photosystem I enriched stroma lamellar region thereby, forming loose disorganized extended grana structures seen in the transmission electron microscope. Furthermore, we show that under in vitro condition the senescing cotyledon chloroplasts exhibited lower extent of light induced phosphorylation of LHC II than the control samples suggesting a possible irreversible phosphorylation and diffusion of LHC II in vivo during the progress of senescence in Cucumis cotyledons. From these findings, we suggest that the senescence induced phosphorylation of LHC II and its migration towards Photosystem I may be a programmed one some how causing the destruction of the thylakoid membrane. The released membrane components may be stored in the plastoglobuli prior to their mobilization to the younger plant parts.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 and a particular isoform of lipoxygenase are synthesized and transferred to lipid bodies during the stage of triacylglycerol mobilization in germinating cucumber seedlings. Lipid body lipoxygenase (LBLOX) is post-translationally transported to lipid bodies without proteolytic modification. Fractionation of homogenates from cucumber cotyledons or transgenic tobacco leaves expressing LBLOX showed that a small but significant amount was detectable in the microsomal fraction. A beta-barrel-forming N-terminal domain in the structure of LBLOX, as deduced from sequence data, was shown to be crucial for selective intracellular transport from the cytosol to lipid bodies. Although a specific signal sequence for targeting protein domains to the lipid bodies could not be established, it was evident that the beta-barrel represents a membrane-binding domain that is functionally comparable with the C2 domains of mammalian phospholipases. The intact beta-barrel of LBLOX was demonstrated to be sufficient to target in vitro a fusion protein of LBLOX beta-barrel with glutathione S-transferase (GST) to lipid bodies. In addition, binding experiments on liposomes using lipoxygenase isoforms, LBLOX deletions and the GST-fusion protein confirmed the role of the beta-barrel as the membrane-targeting domain. In this respect, the cucumber LBLOX differs from cytosolic isoforms in cucumber and from the soybean LOX-1. When the beta-barrel of LBLOX was destroyed by insertion of an additional peptide sequence, its ability to target proteins to membranes was abolished.
