Wang W, Zheng H. Arabidopsis reticulons inhibit ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE3 to form a stable tubular endoplasmic reticulum network. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 194:1431-1446.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of interconnected tubules and sheets stretching throughout the cytoplasm of plant cells. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE3 (RHD3) mediates ER tubule fusion, while reticulon proteins induce ER membrane curvature to produce ER tubules. However, it is unclear if and how RHD3-reticulon interplay during the formation of the interconnected tubular ER network. We discovered that RHD3 physically interacts with Arabidopsis reticulon proteins, including reticulon-like protein subfamily B3 (RTNLB3), on ER tubules and at 3-way junctions of the ER. The RTNLB3 protein is widely expressed in Arabidopsis seedlings and localizes to ER tubules. Although the growth of knockout rtnlb3 mutant plants was relatively normal, root hairs of rtnlb3 were shorter than those of wild type. The ER in mature mutant cells was also more sheeted than that in wild type. rhd3 is known to have short roots and root hairs and less branched ER tubules in cells. Interestingly, rtnlb3 genetically antagonizes rhd3 in plant root development and in ER interconnectivity. We show that reticulons including RTNLB3 inhibit the ER fusion activity of RHD3, partly by interfering with RHD3 dimerization. We conclude that reticulon proteins negatively regulate RHD3 to balance its ER fusion activity for the formation of a stable tubular ER network in plant cell growth.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum takes care of the folding, assembly, and quality control of thousands of proteins destined to the different compartments of the endomembrane system or to be secreted in the apoplast. Here we describe how these early events in the life of all these proteins can be followed biochemically by using velocity or isopycnic ultracentrifugation, metabolic labelling with radioactive amino acids, drug treatments, and immunoselection in various conditions and, in certain cases, predicted in silico by algorithms.

Abstract
Maintenance of proteome integrity is essential for cell function and survival in changing cellular and environmental conditions. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the major site for the synthesis of secretory and membrane proteins. However, the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins can perturb ER protein homeostasis, leading to ER stress and compromising cellular function. Eukaryotic organisms have evolved sophisticated and conserved protein quality control systems to ensure protein folding fidelity via the unfolded protein response (UPR) and to eliminate potentially harmful proteins via ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-phagy. In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of ER protein homeostasis in plants and discuss the crosstalk between different quality control systems. Finally, we will address unanswered questions in this field.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 334:111777.

Abstract
Adverse environmental stresses may cause the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway is initiated to mitigate the ER stress. Previous studies demonstrate that NAC062, a plasma membrane-associated transcription factor, plays important roles in promoting cell survival under ER stress conditions in Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, we identified another plasma membrane-associated transcription factor, NAC091 (also known as ANAC091/TIP), as an important UPR mediator. ER stress induces the expression of NAC091, which is mainly dependent on the ER stress regulators bZIP60 and bZIP28. In addition, NAC091 has transcriptional activation activity, and the truncated form of NAC091 devoid of the C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) forms a homodimer in the nucleus. Under ER stress conditions, NAC091 relocates from the plasma membrane to the nucleus and regulates the expression of canonical UPR genes involved in cell survival. Further, the loss-of-function mutant of NAC091 confers impaired ER stress tolerance. Together, these results reveal the important role of NAC091 in ER stress response in Arabidopsis, and demonstrate that NAC091 relays the ER stress signal from the plasma membrane to the nucleus to alleviate ER stress and promote cell survival in plants.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated HY5 Gene Editing Reduces Growth Inhibition in Chinese Cabbage ( Brassica rapa) under ER Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13105.

Abstract
Various stresses can affect the quality and yield of crops, including vegetables. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 technology was employed to examine the role of the ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) gene in influencing the growth of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa). Single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) were designed to target the HY5 gene, and deep-sequencing analysis confirmed the induction of mutations in the bZIP domain of the gene. To investigate the response of Chinese cabbage to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, plants were treated with tunicamycin (TM). Both wild-type and hy5 mutant plants showed increased growth inhibition with increasing TM concentration. However, the hy5 mutant plants displayed less severe growth inhibition compared to the wild type. Using nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining methods, we determined the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced under ER stress conditions, and found that the hy5 mutant plants generated lower levels of ROS compared to the wild type. Under ER stress conditions, the hy5 mutant plants exhibited lower expression levels of UPR- and cell death-related genes than the wild type. These results indicate that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of the HY5 gene can mitigate growth inhibition in Chinese cabbage under stresses, improving the quality and yield of crops.

Abstract
Phytoplasmas are intracellular plant pathogens that heavily rely on host cell nutrients for survival and propagation due to their limited ability to synthesize essential substrates. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including lipid and protein biosynthesis, is an attractive target for numerous intracellular pathogens to exploit. This study investigated the impact of potato purple top (PPT) phytoplasma infection on the ER in tomato plants. Abnormal accumulation of ER-resident proteins, disrupted ER network structures, and formation of protein aggregates in the phloem were observed using confocal microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, indicating a phytoplasma-infection-induced disturbance in ER homeostasis. The colocalization of phytoplasmas with the accumulated ER-resident proteins suggests an association between ER stress, unfolded protein response (UPR) induction, and phytoplasma infection and colonization, with the ER stress response likely contributing to the host plant's defense mechanisms. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed a negative correlation between ER stress/UPR activation and PPT phytoplasma titer, implying the involvement of UPR in curbing phytoplasma proliferation. Inducing ER stress and activating the UPR pathway effectively decreased phytoplasma titer, while suppressing the ER-resident protein, binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) increased phytoplasma titer. These results highlight the ER as an intracellular battleground where phytoplasmas exploit host components for survival and multiplication, while host plants deploy defense mechanisms to counteract the invasion. Understanding the intricate interactions between phytoplasmas and plant hosts at the subcellular level, particularly within the ER, provides valuable insights for developing new strategies to control phytoplasma diseases.

Proteomic and physiological responses of contrasting two different heat-resistant orchardgrass genotypes to heat stress. Int J Biol Macromol 2023:125463.

Abstract
As an important forage crop worldwide, the growth and productivity of orchardgrass are greatly impacted by high temperatures. However, little information is known about how orchardgrass proteomic changes under heat conditions. Therefore, the present study investigated the proteomics and physiological changes in 667 [AKZ-NRGR667 (heat-tolerant)] and 7602 [PI237602 (heat-sensitive)] under heat stress (40/35 °C). In addition, the responses of translational regulating of heat stress in orchardgrass were analyzed through proteomic changes using the tandem mass tags (TMT) technique. Together, 410 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified from two orchardgrass genotypes under heat at 24 h. Proteomics analyses indicated that proteins related to substance metabolism, photosynthesis, and heat shock proteins (HSPs) were differentially expressed under heat stress and control conditions. Moreover, a large proportion of HSPs were expressed in the heat-tolerant genotype as compared to the heat-sensitive genotype. In conclusion, genotype 667 has higher adaptability and repairing capability due to stronger heat tolerance capacity that can make it more suited to sustaining its survival and growth than genotype 7602. These findings can provide the basis for genetic improvements in orchardgrass and other crops facing high-temperature stress or heat environment that may lead to heat resistance or tolerance.

Abstract
Metabolites including antibiotics, enzymes, and volatiles produced by plant-associated bacteria are key factors in plant-microbiota interaction that regulates various plant biological processes. There should be crucial mediators responsible for their entry into host plants. However, less is known about the identities of these plant transporters. We report that the Arabidopsis Nitrate Transporter1 (NRT1)/NPF protein NPF2.13 functions in plant uptake of tunicamycin (TM), a natural antibiotic produced by several Streptomyces spp., which inhibits protein N-glycosylation. Loss of NPF2.13 function resulted in enhanced TM tolerance, whereas NPF2.13 overexpression led to TM hypersensitivity. Transport assays confirmed that NPF2.13 is a H+ /TM symporter and the transport is not affected by other substrates like nitrate. NPF2.13 exclusively showed TM transport activity among tested NPFs. Tunicamycin uptake from TM-producing Streptomyces upregulated the expression of nitrate-related genes including NPF2.13. Moreover, nitrate allocation to younger leaves was promoted by TM in host plants. Tunicamycin could also benefit plant defense against the pathogen. Notably, the TM effects were significantly repressed in npf2.13 mutant. Overall, this study identifies NPF2.13 protein as an important TM transporter in plant-microbe interaction and provides insights into multiple facets of NPF proteins in modulating plant nutrition and defense by transporting exterior bacterial metabolites.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 196:281-290. [PMID: 36736010 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2023.01.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
We report about the response of Arabidopsis thaliana to chronic and temporary Cd2+ stress, and the Cd2+ induced activation of ER stress and unfolded protein response (UPR). Cd2+-induced UPR proceeds mainly through the bZIP60 arm, which in turn activates relevant ER stress marker genes such as BiP3, CNX, PDI5 and ERdj3B in a concentration- (chronic stress) or time- (temporary stress) dependent manner. A more severe Cd-stress triggers programmed cell death (PCD) through the activation of the NAC089 transcription factor. Toxic effects of Cd2+ exposure are reduced in the Atbzip28/bzip60 double mutant in terms of primary root length and fresh shoot weight, likely due to reduced UPR and PCD activation. We also hypothesised that the enhanced Cd2+ tolerance of the Atbzip28/bzip60 double mutant is due to an increase in brassinosteroids signaling, since the amount of the brassinosteroid insensitive1 receptor (BRI1) protein decreases under Cd2+ stress only in Wt plants. These data highlight the complexity of the UPR pathway, since the ER stress response is strictly related to the type of the treatment applied and the multifaceted connections of ER signaling. The reduced sensing of Cd2+ stress in plants with UPR defects can be used as a novel strategy for phytoremediation.

Abstract
The ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is the largest membrane-bound multifunctional organelle in eukaryotic cells, serving particularly important in protein synthesis, modification, folding and transport. UPR (unfolded protein response) is one of the systematized strategies that eukaryotic cells employ for responding to ER stress, a condition represents the processing capability of ER is overwhelmed and stressed. UPR is usually triggered when the protein folding capacity of ER is overloaded, and indeed, mounting studies were focused on the stress responding side of UPR. In plants, beyond stress response, accumulating evidence suggests that UPR is essential for growth and development, and more importantly, the necessity of UPR in this regard requires its endogenous basal activation even without stress. Then plants must have to fine tune the activation level of UPR pathway for balancing growth and stress response. In this review, we summarized the recent progresses in plant UPR, centering on its role in controlling plant reproduction and root growth, and lay out some outstanding questions to be addressed in the future.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as secondary messengers that can be sensed by specific redox-sensitive proteins responsible for the activation of signal transduction culminating in altered gene expression. The subcellular site, in which modifications in the ROS/oxidation state occur, can also act as a specific cellular redox network signal. The chemical identity of ROS and their subcellular origin is actually a specific imprint on the transcriptome response. In recent years, a number of transcriptomic studies related to altered ROS metabolism in plant peroxisomes have been carried out. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis of these transcriptomic findings to identify common transcriptional footprints for plant peroxisomal-dependent signaling at early and later time points. These footprints highlight the regulation of various metabolic pathways and gene families, which are also found in plant responses to several abiotic stresses. Major peroxisomal-dependent genes are associated with protein and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protection at later stages of stress while, at earlier stages, these genes are related to hormone biosynthesis and signaling regulation. Furthermore, in silico analyses allowed us to assign human orthologs to some of the peroxisomal-dependent proteins, which are mainly associated with different cancer pathologies. Peroxisomal footprints provide a valuable resource for assessing and supporting key peroxisomal functions in cellular metabolism under control and stress conditions across species.

Abstract
Our aim was to understand mechanisms for clustering and cross-linking of gliadins, a wheat seed storage protein type, monomeric in native state, but incorporated in network while processed. The mechanisms were studied utilizing spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography on a gliadin-rich fraction, in vitro produced α-gliadins, and synthetic gliadin peptides, and by coarse-grained modelling, Monte Carlo simulations and prediction algorithms. In solution, gliadins with α-helix structures (dip at 205 nm in CD) were primarily present as monomeric molecules and clusters of gliadins (peaks at 650- and 700-s on SE-HPLC). At drying, large polymers (Rg 90.3 nm by DLS) were formed and β-sheets increased (14% by FTIR). Trained algorithms predicted aggregation areas at amino acids 115-140, 150-179, and 250-268, and induction of liquid-liquid phase separation at P- and Poly-Q-sequences (Score = 1). Simulations showed that gliadins formed polymers by tail-to-tail or a hydrophobic core (Kratky plots and Ree = 35 and 60 for C- and N-terminal). Thus, the N-terminal formed clusters while the C-terminal formed aggregates by disulphide and lanthionine bonds, with favoured hydrophobic clustering of similar/exact peptide sections (synthetic peptide mixtures on SE-HPLC). Mechanisms of clustering and cross-linking of the gliadins presented here, contribute ability to tailor processing results, using these proteins.

Abstract
Saline-alkali soils pose an increasingly serious global threat to plant growth and productivity. Much progress has been made in elucidating how plants adapt to salt stress by modulating ion homeostasis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that affect salt tolerance and devising strategies to develop/breed salt-resilient crops have been the primary goals of plant salt stress signaling research over the past few decades. In this review, we reflect on recent major advances in our understanding of the cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying plant responses to salt stress, especially those involving temporally and spatially defined changes in signal perception, decoding, and transduction in specific organelles or cells.

Abstract
An increase in temperature and extreme heat stress is responsible for the global reduction in maize yield. Heat stress affects the integrity of the plasma membrane functioning of mitochondria and chloroplast, which further results in the over-accumulation of reactive oxygen species. The activation of a signal cascade subsequently induces the transcription of heat shock proteins. The denaturation and accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins generate cell toxicity, leading to death. Therefore, developing maize cultivars with significant heat tolerance is urgently required. Despite the explored molecular mechanism underlying heat stress response in some plant species, the precise genetic engineering of maize is required to develop high heat-tolerant varieties. Several agronomic management practices, such as soil and nutrient management, plantation rate, timing, crop rotation, and irrigation, are beneficial along with the advanced molecular strategies to counter the elevated heat stress experienced by maize. This review summarizes heat stress sensing, induction of signaling cascade, symptoms, heat stress-related genes, the molecular feature of maize response, and approaches used in developing heat-tolerant maize varieties.

Abstract
The formation and isomerization of disulfide bonds mediated by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes. Canonical PDI structure comprises four domains with the order of a-b-b′-a′. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the PDI-S subgroup contains only one member, AtPDI11, with an a-a′-D organization, which has no orthologs in mammals or yeast. However, the expression pattern of AtPDI11 and the functioning mechanism of AtPDI11 D domain are currently unclear. In this work, we found that PDI-S is evolutionarily conserved between land plants and algal organisms. AtPDI11 is expressed in various tissues and its induction by ER stress is disrupted in bzip28/60 and ire1a/b mutants that are null mutants of key components in the unfolded protein response (UPR) signal transduction pathway, suggesting that the induction of AtPDI11 by ER stress is mediated by the UPR signaling pathway. Furthermore, enzymatic activity assays and genetic evidence showed that the D domain is crucially important for the activities of AtPDI11. Overall, this work will help to further understand the working mechanism of AtPDI11 in catalyzing disulfide formation in plants.

Abstract
Disulfide bonds play essential roles in the folding of secretory and plasma membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In eukaryotes, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an enzyme catalyzing the disulfide bond formation and isomerization in substrates. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome encodes diverse PDIs including structurally distinct subgroups PDI-L and PDI-M/S. It remains unclear how these AtPDIs function to catalyze the correct disulfide formation. We found that one Arabidopsis ER oxidoreductin-1 (Ero1), AtERO1, can interact with multiple PDIs. PDI-L members AtPDI2/5/6 mainly serve as an isomerase, while PDI-M/S members AtPDI9/10/11 are more efficient in accepting oxidizing equivalents from AtERO1 and catalyzing disulfide bond formation. Accordingly, the pdi9/10/11 triple mutant exhibited much stronger inhibition than pdi1/2/5/6 quadruple mutant under dithiothreitol treatment, which caused disruption of disulfide bonds in plant proteins. Furthermore, AtPDI2/5 work synergistically with PDI-M/S members in relaying disulfide bonds from AtERO1 to substrates. Our findings reveal the distinct but overlapping roles played by two structurally different AtPDI subgroups in oxidative protein folding in the ER.

Abstract
Prolamins constitute a unique class of seed storage proteins, present only in grasses. In the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), prolamins form large, insoluble heteropolymers termed protein bodies (PB). In transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves, the major maize (Zea mays) prolamin, 27 kDa γ-zein (27γz), assembles into insoluble disulfide-linked polymers, as in maize endosperm, forming homotypic PB. The 16 kDa γ-zein (16γz), evolved from 27γz, instead forms disulfide-bonded dispersed electron-dense threads that enlarge the ER lumen without assembling into PB. We have investigated whether the peculiar features of 16γz are also maintained during transgenic seed development. We show that 16γz progressively changes its electron microscopy appearance during transgenic Arabidopsis embryo maturation, from dispersed threads to PB-like, compact structures. In mature seeds, 16γz and 27γz PBs appear very similar. However, when mature embryos are treated with a reducing agent, 27γz is fully solubilized, as expected, whereas 16γz remains largely insoluble also in reducing conditions and drives insolubilization of the ER chaperone BiP. These results indicate that 16γz expressed in the absence of the other zein partners forms aggregates in a storage tissue, strongly supporting the view that 16γz behaves as the unassembled subunit of a large heteropolymer, the PB, and could have evolved successfully only following the emergence of the much more structurally self-sufficient 27γz.

Abstract
The rapid, massive synthesis of storage proteins that occurs during seed development stresses endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, which activates the ER unfolded protein response (UPR). However, how different storage proteins contribute to UPR is not clear. We analyzed vegetative tissues of transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants constitutively expressing the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) soluble vacuolar storage protein PHASEOLIN (PHSL) or maize (Zea mays) prolamins (27-kDa γ-zein or 16-kDa γ-zein) that participate in forming insoluble protein bodies in the ER. We show that 16-kDa γ-zein significantly activates the INOSITOL REQUIRING ENZYME1/BASIC LEUCINE ZIPPER 60 (bZIP60) UPR branch-but not the bZIP28 branch or autophagy-leading to induction of major UPR-controlled genes that encode folding helpers that function inside the ER. Protein blot analysis of IMMUNOGLOBULIN-BINDING PROTEIN (BIP) 1 and 2, BIP3, GLUCOSE REGULATED PROTEIN 94 (GRP94), and ER-localized DNAJ family 3A (ERDJ3A) polypeptides confirmed their higher accumulation in the plant expressing 16-kDa γ-zein. Expression of 27-kDa γ-zein significantly induced only BIP3 and ERDJ3A transcription even though an increase in GRP94 and BIP1/2 polypeptides also occurred in this plant. These results indicate a significant but weaker effect of 27-kDa γ-zein compared to 16-kDa γ-zein, which corresponds with the higher availability of 16-kDa γ-zein for BIP binding, and indicates subtle protein-specific modulations of plant UPR. None of the analyzed genes was significantly induced by PHSL or by a mutated, soluble form of 27-kDa γ-zein that traffics along the secretory pathway. Such variability in UPR induction may have influenced the evolution of storage proteins with different tissue and subcellular localization.

In comparison to conventional encapsulation methods of phenolic compounds (PCs), pH-driven method is green, simple and requires low energy consumption. It has a huge potential for industrial applications, and can overcome more effectively the aqueous solubility, stability and bioavailability issues related to PCs by changing pH to induce the encapsulation of PCs. This review aims to shed light on the use of pH-driven method for encapsulating PCs. The preparation steps and principles governing pH-driven method using various carriers and delivery systems are provided. A comparison of pH-driven with other methods is also presented. To circumvent the drawbacks of pH-driven method, improvement strategies are proposed. The essence of pH-driven method relies simultaneously on alkalization and acidification to bind PCs and carriers. It is used for the development of nanoemulsions, liposomes, edible films, nanoparticles, nanogels and functional foods. As a result of pH-driven method, PCs-loaded carriers may have smaller size, high encapsulation efficiency, more sustained-release and good bioavailability, due mainly to effects of pH change on the structure and properties of PCs as well as carriers. Finally, modification of wall materials and type of acidifier are considered as efficient approaches to improve the pH-driven method.

Abstract
Interaction between light signaling and stress response has been recently reported in plants. Here, we investigated the role of CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), a key regulator of light signaling, in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response in Arabidopsis. The cop1-4 mutant Arabidopsis plants were highly sensitive to ER stress induced by treatment with tunicarmycin (Tm). Interestingly, the abundance of nuclear-localized COP1 increased under ER stress conditions. Complementation of cop1-4 mutant plants with the wild-type or variant types of COP1 revealed that the nuclear localization and dimerization of COP1 are essential for its function in plant ER stress response. Moreover, the protein amount of ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), which inhibits bZIP28 to activate the unfolded protein response (UPR), decreased under ER stress conditions in a COP1-dependent manner. Accordingly, the binding of bZIP28 to the BIP3 promoter was reduced in cop1-4 plants and increased in hy5 plants compared with the wild type. Furthermore, introduction of the hy5 mutant locus into the cop1-4 mutant background rescued its ER stress-sensitive phenotype. Altogether, our results suggest that COP1, a negative regulator of light signaling, positively controls ER stress response by partially degrading HY5 in the nucleus.

Abstract
A transient heat stress occurring during early seed development in rice (Oryza sativa) reduces seed size by altering endosperm development. However, the relationship between the timing of the stress and specific developmental stage on heat sensitivity is not well-understood. To address this, we imposed a series of non-overlapping heat stress treatments and found that young seeds are most sensitive during the first two days after flowering. Temporal transcriptome analysis of developing, heat stressed (35°C) seeds during this window shows that Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and jasmonic acid (JA) pathways are the early (1-3 h) drivers of heat stress response. We propose that increased JA levels under heat stress may precede ER stress response as JA application promotes the spliced form of OsbZIP50, an ER response marker gene linked to IRE1-specific pathway. This study presents temporal and mechanistic insights into the role of JA and ER stress signalling during early heat stress response of rice seeds that impact both grain size and quality. Modulating the heat sensitivity of the early sensing pathways and downstream endosperm development genes can enhance rice resilience to transient heat stress events.

Abstract
Due to their sessile nature, plants must respond to various environmental assaults in a coordinated manner. The endoplasmic reticulum is a central hub for plant responses to various stresses. We previously showed that Phytophthora utilizes effector PsAvh262-mediated binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) accumulation for suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress-triggered cell death. As a BiP binding partner, Bcl-2-associated athanogene 7 (BAG7) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the unfolded protein response, but little is known about its role in plant immunity. In this work, we reveal a double-faced role of BAG7 in Arabidopsis-Phytophthora interaction in which it regulates endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated immunity oppositely in different cellular compartments. In detail, it acts as a susceptibility factor in the endoplasmic reticulum, but plays a resistance role in the nucleus against Phytophthora. Phytophthora infection triggers the endoplasmic reticulum-to-nucleus translocation of BAG7, the same as abiotic heat stress; however, this process can be prevented by PsAvh262-mediated BiP accumulation. Moreover, the immunoglobulin/albumin-binding domain in PsAvh262 is essential for both pathogen virulence and BiP accumulation. Taken together, our study uncovers a double-faced role of BAG7; Phytophthora advances its colonization in planta by utilizing an effector to detain BAG7 in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is accounted as the fifth leading cause of mortality among the other cancers. Notwithstanding, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is responsible for 15-20% of breast cancer mortality. Despite many investigations, it remains incurable in part due to insufficient understanding of its exact mechanisms. METHODS A literature search was performed in PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases using the keywords autophagy, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress, apoptosis, TNBC and the combinations of these keywords. RESULTS It was found that autophagy plays a dual role in cancer, so that it may decrease the viability of tumor cells or act as a cytoprotective mechanism. It then appears that using compounds having modulatory effects on autophagy is of importance in terms of induction of autophagic cell death and diminishing the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells. Also, ER stress can be modulated in order to stimulate apoptotic and autophagic cell death in tumor cells. CONCLUSION Perturbation in the signaling pathways related to cell survival leads to the initiation and progression of cancer. Regarding the advancement in the cancer pathology, it seems that modulation of autophagy and ER stress are promising.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicles mediate anterograde traffic from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Compared to yeasts, plants have multiple COPII coat proteins; however, the functional diversity among them is less well understood. SEC31A and SEC31B are outer coat proteins found in COPII vesicles in Arabidopsis. In this study, we explored the function of SEC31A and compared it with that of SEC31B from various perspectives. SEC31A was widely expressed, but at a significantly lower level than SEC31B. SEC31A-mCherry and SEC31B-GFP exhibited a high co-localization rate in pollen, but a lower rate in growing pollen tubes. The sec31a single mutant exhibited normal growth. SEC31A expression driven by the SEC31B promoter rescued the pollen abortion and infertility observed in sec31b. A sec31asec31b double mutant was unavailable due to lethality of the sec31asec31b gametophyte. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that one quarter of male gametogenesis was arrested at the uninuclear microspore stage, while confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that 1/4 female gametophyte development was suspended at the functional megaspore stage in sec31a-1/+sec31b-3/+ plants. Our study highlights the essential role of SEC31A/B in gametogenesis and their interchangeable functions in pollen development.

Abstract
Drechslera gigantea Heald & Wolf is a worldwide-spread necrotrophic fungus closely related to the Bipolaris genus, well-known because many member species provoke severe diseases in cereal crops and studied because they produce sesterpenoid phytoxins named ophiobolins which possess interesting biological properties. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a conserved mechanism protecting eukaryotic cells from the accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In plants, consolidated evidence supports the role of UPR in the tolerance to abiotic stress, whereas much less information is available concerning the induction of ER stress by pathogen infection and consequent UPR elicitation as part of the defense response. In this study, the infection process of D. gigantea in Arabidopsis thaliana wild type and UPR-defective bzip28 bzip60 double mutant plants was comparatively investigated, with the aim to address the role of UPR in the expression of resistance to the fungal pathogen. The results of confocal microscopy, as well as of qRT-PCR transcript level analysis of UPR genes, proteomics, microRNAs expression profile and HPLC-based hormone analyses demonstrated that ophiobolin produced by the fungus during infection compromised ER integrity and that impairment of the IRE1/bZIP60 pathway of UPR hampered the full expression of resistance, thereby enhancing plant susceptibility to the pathogen.

Arabidopsis immune-associated nucleotide-binding genes repress heat tolerance at the reproductive stage by inhibiting the unfolded protein response and promoting cell death. MOLECULAR PLANT 2021; 14:267-284.

Abstract
Plants are vulnerable to heat stress, especially during reproductive development. The heat shock response (HSR) in the cytosol and nucleus, as well as the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are two mechanisms that enable plants to survive heat stress. Excessive heat or ER stresses lead to cell death when the UPR cannot repair stress damage, but the means by which cell survival or death is determined remains unclear. In this study, we used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify that a cluster of five Immune-associated nucleotide-binding protein (IAN) genes (IAN2 to IAN6) is responsible for variation in heat tolerance at the reproductive stage in Arabidopsis thaliana. These IAN genes have both unique and overlapping functions in the negative regulation of heat tolerance, and their loss of function singly or in combination confers increased heat tolerance, measured by a lower number of barren siliques and a higher seedling survival rate under heat. The loss of rice IAN1 gene function also leads to enhanced heat tolerance, suggesting a conserved function of plant IANs. Transcriptome analysis revealed enhanced expression of HSR and UPR genes, as well as reduced cell death, under heat and ER stress in the mutant of IAN6, a major effect member in Arabidopsis. Furthermore, the IAN proteins were found to promote cell death induced by heat stress, ER stress, and cell death-inducing molecules. Thus, the Arabidopsis IAN genes repress heat tolerance, probably through the HSR and UPR and by enhancing the cell death pathway. The IAN2 to IAN6 proteins are partially localized to the ER, suggesting a direct role in the UPR and UPR-mediated cell death. In addition, a natural IAN6 variant from more heat-tolerant Arabidopsis accessions confers greater heat tolerance and induces less cell death compared with the natural variant from less heat-tolerant accessions. The heat-tolerant IAN6 variant is associated with a higher maximum temperature of the warmest month at its collection sites compared with the heat-sensitive variant. Taken together, these results reveal an important role of Arabidopsis IAN2 to IAN6 genes in the regulation of the HSR, UPR, and cell death, and suggest that their natural variations have adaptive functions in heat tolerance.

Abstract
Gluten protein crosslinking is a predetermined process where specific intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds differ depending on the protein and cysteine motif. In this article, all-atom Monte Carlo simulations were used to understand the formation of disulfide bonds in gliadins and low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS). The two intrinsically disordered proteins appeared to contain mostly turns and loops and showed "self-avoiding walk" behavior in water. Cysteine residues involved in intramolecular disulfide bonds were located next to hydrophobic peptide sections in the primary sequence. Hydrophobicity of neighboring peptide sections, synthesis chronology, and amino acid chain flexibility were identified as important factors in securing the specificity of intramolecular disulfide bonds formed directly after synthesis. The two LMW-GS cysteine residues that form intermolecular disulfide bonds were positioned next to peptide sections of lower hydrophobicity, and these cysteine residues are more exposed to the cytosolic conditions, which influence the crosslinking behavior. In addition, coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulations revealed that the protein folding is independent of ionic strength. The potential molecular behavior associated with disulfide bonds, as reported here, increases the biological understanding of seed storage protein function and provides opportunities to tailor their functional properties for different applications.

Abstract
Peptide: N-glycanase (PNGase; EC 3.5.1.52) is a deglycosylation enzyme that is responsible for deglycosylating misfolded glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. However, the role of PNGase in plants is largely unknown. Here, we cloned and characterized the function of peptide: N-glycanase (CsPNG1) from cucumber. The amino acid encoded by CsPNG1 gene contained a typical transglutaminase (TGase) catalytic triad domain and belonged to the "TGase superfamily". Subcellular localization showed that CsPNG1 was located in the cell membrane and nucleus. Promoter sequence analysis and qPCR tests showed that CsPNG1 could respond to a variety of abiotic stresses and hormone treatments. Yeast one-hybrid assays revealed the interaction between the transcription factor CsGT-3b and CsPNG1 promoter. Importantly, overexpression of CsPNG1 in tobacco increased the tolerance to salt stress of transgenic plants. In addition, CsPNG1 interacted with CsRAD23 family proteins and the C-terminal UBA domain of CsRAD23 protein was responsible for binding to CsPNG1, indicating that CsPNG1 was involved in the ER-associated degradation pathway (ERAD). Taken together, our study demonstrated that CsPNG1 plays a positive role in improving plant salt tolerance, and these findings might provide a basis for further functional analysis of CsPNG1 genes in abiotic stress and ERAD.

Abstract
Different abiotic and biotic stresses lead to the accumulation of unfolded and misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), resulting in ER stress. In response to ER stress, cells activate various cytoprotective responses, enhancing chaperon synthesis, protein folding capacity, and degradation of misfolded proteins. These responses of plants are called the unfolded protein response (UPR). ER stress signaling and UPR can be regulated by salicylic acid (SA), but the mode of its action is not known in full detail. In this review, the current knowledge on the multifaceted role of SA in ER stress and UPR is summarized in model plants and crops to gain a better understanding of SA-regulated processes at the physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis unfolded protein response transducer IRE1 contributes to male gametophyte development using an alternative activation mechanism bypassing the unfolded protein-sensing domain. In Arabidopsis, the IRE1A and IRE1B double mutant (ire1a/b) is unable to activate cytoplasmic splicing of bZIP60 mRNA and regulated IRE1-dependent decay under ER stress, whereas the mutant does not exhibit severe developmental defects under normal conditions. In this study, we focused on the Arabidopsis IRE1C gene, whose product lacks a sensor domain. We found that the ire1a/b/c triple mutant is lethal, and heterozygous IRE1C (ire1c/+) mutation in the ire1a/b mutants resulted in growth defects and reduction of the number of pollen grains. Genetic analysis revealed that IRE1C is required for male gametophyte development in the ire1a/b mutant background. Expression of a mutant form of IRE1B that lacks the luminal sensor domain (ΔLD) complemented a developmental defect in the male gametophyte in ire1a/b/c haplotype. In vivo, the ΔLD protein was activated by glycerol treatment that increases the composition of saturated lipid and was able to activate regulated IRE1-dependent decay but not bZIP60 splicing. These observations suggest that IRE1 contributes to plant development, especially male gametogenesis, using an alternative activation mechanism that bypasses the unfolded protein-sensing luminal domain.

Abstract
As an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensor, inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) splices the bZIP60 mRNA, and produces an active bZIP60 transcription factor that regulates genes involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR) during ER stresses. This IRE1-bZIP60 pathway is conserved in plant species and recently implicated in plant-pathogen interaction. However, it is unclear whether this IRE1-bZIP60 pathway is involved in Nicotiana attenuata resistance to necrotic fungal pathogen, Alternaria alternata. In this study, transcriptional levels of chaperone protein genes, including luminal binding protein (BiP), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), calnexin 1-like (CNX 1-like), and calreticulin (CRT), and genes involved in IRE1-bZIP60 pathway, were all significantly induced in N. attenuata leaves after A. alternata inoculation. Silencing IRE1 or bZIP60 led to N. attenuata plants more susceptible to A. alternata, which were associated with reduced gene expressions of Feruloyl-CoA 6'-hydroxylase 1 (F6'H1), a gene encoding a key enzyme for phytoalexin scopoletin and scopolin biosynthesis. Further, electromobility shift assays (EMSA) indicated that bZIP60 protein of spliced form could directly bind to the promoter region of F6'H1 in vitro. JA signaling pathway is required for N. attenuata resistance to A. alternata. Interestingly, the fungus-elicited transcriptional levels of BiP, PDI, CNX 1-like, CRT, IRE1, and bZIP60(s) were all significantly decreased in JA-deficient or JA-insensitive plants. Meanwhile, those genes were significantly induced by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) when applied exogenously. However, the transcriptional levels of JA-regulated genes allene oxide synthase (AOS) and lipoxygenease 3 (LOX3) were not affected in plants impaired with IRE1-bZIP60 pathway. Thus, it is concluded that IRE1-bZIP60 pathway is required for N. attenuata resistance to A. alternata, and JA signaling pathway plays an important role in the elicitation of chaperone protein genes and IRE1-bZIP60 pathway.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs when the protein folding machinery in the cell is unable to cope with newly synthesized proteins, which results in an accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER lumen. In response, the cell activates a cellular signaling pathway known as the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), aiming to restore cellular homeostasis. Activation and exacerbation of the UPR have been described in several human pathologies, including cancer and neurological disorders, and in some gestational diseases such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. This review explores the participation of stromal cell-derived factor 2 (SDF2) in UPR pathways, shows new information and discusses its exacerbation regarding protein expression in severe preeclampsia and labor, both of which are associated with ER stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water shortage is a major factor that harms agriculture and ecosystems worldwide. Plants display various levels of tolerance to water deficit, but only resurrection plants can survive full desiccation of their vegetative tissues. Haberlea rhodopensis, an endemic plant of the Balkans, is one of the few resurrection plants found in Europe. We performed transcriptomic analyses of this species under slight, severe and full dehydration and recovery to investigate the dynamics of gene expression and associate them with existing physiological and metabolomics data. RESULTS De novo assembly yielded a total of 142,479 unigenes with an average sequence length of 1034 nt. Among them, 18,110 unigenes were differentially expressed. Hierarchical clustering of all differentially expressed genes resulted in seven clusters of dynamic expression patterns. The most significant expression changes, involving more than 15,000 genes, started at severe dehydration (~ 20% relative water content) and were partially maintained at full desiccation (< 10% relative water content). More than a hundred pathways were enriched and functionally organized in a GO/pathway network at the severe dehydration stage. Transcriptomic changes in key pathways were analyzed and discussed in relation to metabolic processes, signal transduction, quality control of protein and DNA repair in this plant during dehydration and rehydration. CONCLUSION Reprograming of the transcriptome occurs during severe dehydration, resulting in a profound alteration of metabolism toward alternative energy supply, hormone signal transduction, and prevention of DNA/protein damage under very low cellular water content, underlying the observed physiological and metabolic responses and the resurrection behavior of H. rhodopensis.

Abstract
Maintaining endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is essential for the production of biomolecules. ER retrieval, i.e., the retrograde transport of compounds from the Golgi to the ER, is one of the pathways that ensures ER homeostasis. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of ER retrieval in plants remain largely unknown. Plant ERD2-like proteins (ERD2s) were recently suggested to function as ER luminal protein receptors that mediate ER retrieval. Here, we demonstrate that heterotrimeric G protein signaling is involved in ERD2-mediated ER retrieval. We show that ERD2s interact with the heterotrimeric G protein Gα and Gγ subunits at the Golgi. Silencing of Gα, Gβ, or Gγ increased the retention of ER luminal proteins. Furthermore, overexpression of Gα, Gβ, or Gγ caused ER luminal proteins to escape from the ER, as did the co-silencing of ERD2a and ERD2b. These results suggest that G proteins interact with ER luminal protein receptors to regulate ER retrieval.

Abstract
The 12 amino acid peptide derived from the Arabidopsis soluble secretory protein CLAVATA3 (CLV3) acts at the cell surface in a signalling system that regulates the size of apical meristems. The subcellular pathway involved in releasing the peptide from its precursor is unknown. We show that a CLV3-GFP fusion expressed in transfected tobacco protoplasts or transgenic tobacco plants has very short intracellular half-life that cannot be extended by the secretory traffic inhibitors brefeldin A and wortmannin. The fusion is biologically active, since the incubation medium of protoplasts from CLV3-GFP-expressing tobacco contains the CLV3 peptide and inhibits root growth. The rapid disappearance of intact CLV3-GFP requires the signal peptide and is inhibited by the proteasome inhibitor MG132 or coexpression with a mutated CDC48 that inhibits endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD). The synthesis of CLV3-GFP is specifically supported by the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone endoplasmin in an in vivo assay. Our results indicate that processing of CLV3 starts intracellularly in an early compartment of the secretory pathway and that ERAD could play a regulatory or direct role in the active peptide synthesis.

Abstract
Adventitious root (AR) formation, which is controlled by endogenous and environmental factors, is indispensable for vegetative asexual propagation. However, comprehensive proteomic data on AR formation are still lacking. The aim of this work was to study indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)-induced AR formation in the dwarf apple rootstock 'T337'. In this study, the effect of IBA on AR formation was analysed. Subsequent to treatment with IBA, both the rooting rate and root length of 'T337' increased significantly. An assessment of hormone levels in basal stem cuttings suggested that auxin, abscisic acid, and brassinolide were higher in basal stem cuttings that received the exogenous IBA application; while zeatin riboside, gibberellins, and jasmonic acid were lower than non-treated basal stem cuttings. To explore the underlying molecular mechanism, an isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ)-based proteomic technique was employed to identify the expression profiles of proteins at a key period of adventitious root induction (three days after IBA treatment). In total, 3355 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified. Many DEPs were closely related to carbohydrate metabolism and energy production, protein homeostasis, reactive oxygen and nitric oxide signaling, and cell wall remodeling biological processes; as well as the phytohormone signaling, which was the most critical process in response to IBA treatment. Further, RT-qPCR analysis was used to evaluate the expression level of nine genes that are involved in phytohormone signaling and their transcriptional levels were mostly in accordance with the protein patterns. Finally, a putative work model was proposed. Our study establishes a foundation for further research and sheds light on IBA-mediated AR formation in apple as well as other fruit rootstock cuttings.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum takes care of the folding, assembly, and quality control of thousands of proteins destined to the different compartments of the endomembrane system, or to be secreted in the apoplast. Here we describe how these early events in the life of all these proteins can be followed biochemically by using velocity or isopycnic ultracentrifugation, metabolic labeling with radioactive amino acids, and immunoprecipitation in various conditions.

Abstract
Plant ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) toxins are EC3.2.2.22 N-glycosidases, found among most plant species encoded as small gene families, distributed in several tissues being endowed with defensive functions against fungal or viral infections. The two main plant RIP classes include type I (monomeric) and type II (dimeric) as the prototype ricin holotoxin from Ricinus communis that is composed of a catalytic active A chain linked via a disulphide bridge to a B-lectin domain that mediates efficient endocytosis in eukaryotic cells. Plant RIPs can recognize a universally conserved stem-loop, known as the α-sarcin/ ricin loop or SRL structure in 23S/25S/28S rRNA. By depurinating a single adenine (A4324 in 28S rat rRNA), they can irreversibly arrest protein translation and trigger cell death in the intoxicated mammalian cell. Besides their useful application as potential weapons against infected/tumor cells, ricin was also used in bio-terroristic attacks and, as such, constitutes a major concern. In this review, we aim to summarize past studies and more recent progresses made studying plant RIPs and discuss successful approaches that might help overcoming some of the bottlenecks encountered during the development of their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Flooding and drought are disadvantageous environmental conditions that induce cytosolic calcium in soybean. To explore the effects of flooding- and drought-induced increases in calcium, a gel-free/label-free proteomic analysis was performed. Cytosolic calcium was decreased by blocking calcium channels in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane under both stresses. Calnexin, protein disulfide isomerase, heat shock proteins and thioredoxin were predominantly affected as the ER proteins in response to calcium, and ER-associated degradation-related proteins of HCP-like superfamily protein were up-regulated under stress exposure and then down-regulated. Glycolysis, fermentation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and amino acid metabolism were mainly induced as the types of cellular metabolism in response to calcium under both stresses. Pyruvate decarboxylase was increased and decreased under flooding and drought, respectively, and was further decreased by the reduction of cytosolic calcium; however, it was recovered by exogenous calcium under both stresses. Furthermore, pyruvate decarboxylase activity was increased under flooding, but decreased under drought. These results suggest that calcium is involved in protein folding in the ER, and ER-associated degradation might alleviate ER stress during the early stage of both stresses. Furthermore, calcium appears to modify energy metabolism, and pyruvate decarboxylase may be a key enzyme in this process under flooding and drought.

Abstract
Abiotic stresses often disrupt protein folding and induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. There is a sophisticated ER quality control (ERQC) system to mitigate the effects of malfunctioning proteins and maintain ER homeostasis. The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to enhance ER protein folding and the degradation of misfolded proteins mediate by ER-associated degradation (ERAD). That ERQC reduces abiotic stress damage has been well studied in mammals and yeast. However, in plants, both ERAD and UPR have been studied separately and found to be critical for plant abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, we discovered that UPR-associated transcription factors AtbZIP17, AtbZIP28 and AtbZIP60 responded to tunicamycin (TM) and NaCl induced ER stress and subsequently enhanced Arabidopsis thaliana abiotic stress tolerance. They regulated the expression level of ER chaperones and the HRD1-complex components. Moreover, overexpression of AtbZIP17, AtbZIP28 and AtbZIP60 could restore stress tolerance via ERAD in the HRD1-complex mutant hrd3a-2, which suggested that UPR and ERAD have an interactive mechanism in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
The topography of biomaterials can significantly influence the osteogenic differentiation of cells. Understanding topographical signal transduction is critical for developing biofunctional surfaces, but the current knowledge is insufficient. Recently, numerous reports have suggested that the unfolded protein response (UPR) and osteogenic differentiation are inter-linked. Therefore, we hypothesize that the UPR pathway may be involved in the topography-induced osteogenesis. In the present study, different surface topographies were fabricated on pure titanium foils and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and UPR pathway were systematically investigated. We found that ER stress and the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway were activated in a time- and topography-dependent manner. Additionally, the activation of the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway by different topographies was in line with their osteogenic induction capability. More specifically, the osteogenic differentiation could be enhanced or weakened when the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway was promoted or inhibited, respectively. Furthermore, tuning of the degree of ER stress with different concentrations of thapsigargin revealed that mild ER stress promotes osteogenic differentiation, whereas excessive ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation and causes apoptosis. Taken together, our findings suggest that the UPR may play a critical role in topography-induced osteogenic differentiation, which may help to provide new insights into topographical signal transduction. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Suitable implant surface topography can effectively improve bioactivity and eventual bone affinity. However, the mechanism of topographical signaling transduction is unclear and criteria for designation of an appropriate implant surface topography is lacking. This study shows that the ER stress and PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway were activated by micro- and micro/nano-topographies, which is corresponding to the osteogenic induction abilities of these topographies. Furthermore, we have found that mild ER stress improves osteogenic differentiation, whereas excessive ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation and causes apoptosis. Our findings demonstrate that the UPR plays a critical role in the topography induced osteogenic differentiation, which may help to provide new insights into the topographical signaling transduction.

Abstract
Drought is a major abiotic stress that causes the yearly yield loss of maize, a crop cultured worldwide. Breeding drought-tolerant maize cultivars is a priority requirement of world agriculture. Clade A PP2C phosphatases (PP2C-A), which are conserved in most plant species, play important roles in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and plant drought response. However, natural variations of PP2C-A genes that are directly associated with drought tolerance remain to be elucidated. Here, we conducted a candidate gene association analysis of the ZmPP2C-A gene family in a maize panel consisting of 368 varieties collected worldwide, and identified a drought responsive gene ZmPP2C-A10 that is tightly associated with drought tolerance. We found that the degree of drought tolerance of maize cultivars negatively correlates with the expression levels of ZmPP2C-A10. ZmPP2C-A10, like its Arabidopsis orthologs, interacts with ZmPYL ABA receptors and ZmSnRK2 kinases, suggesting that ZmPP2C-A10 is involved in mediating ABA signaling in maize. Transgenic studies in maize and Arabidopsis confirmed that ZmPP2C-A10 functions as a negative regulator of drought tolerance. Further, a causal natural variation, deletion allele-338, which bears a deletion of ERSE (endoplasmic reticulum stress response element) in the 5'-UTR region of ZmPP2C-A10, was detected. This deletion causes the loss of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced expression of ZmPP2C-A10, leading to increased plant drought tolerance. Our study provides direct evidence linking ER stress signaling with drought tolerance and genetic resources that can be used directly in breeding drought-tolerant maize cultivars.

Tauroursodeoxycholic bile acid arrests axonal degeneration by inhibiting the unfolded protein response in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Acta Neuropathol 2017; 133:283-301.

Abstract
The activation of the highly conserved unfolded protein response (UPR) is prominent in the pathogenesis of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which are classically characterized by an accumulation of aggregated or misfolded proteins. This activation is orchestrated by three endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensors: PERK, ATF6 and IRE1. These sensors transduce signals that induce the expression of the UPR gene programme. Here, we first identified an early activator of the UPR and investigated the role of a chronically activated UPR in the pathogenesis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a neurometabolic disorder that is caused by ABCD1 malfunction; ABCD1 transports very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) into peroxisomes. The disease manifests as inflammatory demyelination in the brain or and/or degeneration of corticospinal tracts, thereby resulting in spastic paraplegia, with the accumulation of intracellular VLCFA instead of protein aggregates. Using X-ALD mouse model (Abcd1− and Abcd1−/Abcd2−/− mice) and X-ALD patient’s fibroblasts and brain samples, we discovered an early engagement of the UPR. The response was characterized by the activation of the PERK and ATF6 pathways, but not the IRE1 pathway, showing a difference from the models of AD, PD or ALS. Inhibition of PERK leads to the disruption of homeostasis and increased apoptosis during ER stress induced in X-ALD fibroblasts. Redox imbalance appears to be the mechanism that initiates ER stress in X-ALD. Most importantly, we demonstrated that the bile acid tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA) abolishes UPR activation, which results in improvement of axonal degeneration and its associated locomotor impairment in Abcd1−/Abcd2−/− mice. Altogether, our preclinical data provide evidence for establishing the UPR as a key drug target in the pathogenesis cascade. Our study also highlights the potential role of TUDCA as a treatment for X-ALD and other axonopathies in which similar molecular mediators are implicated.

Abstract
Calnexin (CNX) is a highly conserved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone protein. Both calnexin and the homologous ER-lumenal protein, calreticulin, bind calcium ions and participate in protein folding. There are two calnexins in Arabidopsis thaliana, CNX1 and CNX2. GUS expression demonstrated that these are expressed in most Arabidopsis tissues throughout development. Calnexin transfer DNA (T-DNA) mutant lines exhibited increased transcript abundances of a number of other ER chaperones, including calreticulins, suggesting a degree of redundancy. CNX1 and CNX2 localised to the ER membrane including that within plasmodesmata, the intercellular channels connecting plant cells. This is comparable with the previous localisations of calreticulin in the ER lumen and at plasmodesmata. However, from green fluorescent protein (GFP) diffusion studies in single and double T-DNA insertion mutant lines, as well as overexpression lines, we found no evidence that CNX1 or CNX2 play a role in intercellular transport through plasmodesmata. In addition, calnexin T-DNA mutant lines showed no change in transcript abundance of a number of plasmodesmata-related proteins. CNX1 and CNX2 do not appear to have a specific localisation or function at plasmodesmata-rather the association of calnexin with the ER is simply maintained as the ER passes through plasmodesmata.

Abstract
Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) constitutes the first line of plant inducible immunity. As an important step of plant colonization, phytopathogens have to suppress PTI, and secreted effectors are therefore co-evolved and deployed. In this study, we characterized the function of MoSec62 of Magnaporthe oryzae, the causal agent of the destructive rice blast. MoSec62 encodes a homologue of Sec62p, a yeast endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane transporter for precursors of secretory proteins. We showed that a T-DNA insertion into the promoter region of MoSec62, causing a disturbance to the up-regulation of MoSec62 expression during blast invasion, resulted in a complete loss of blast virulence of the mutant, M1575. Both 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining of the infected rice leaves and expression analysis revealed that the infectious attempt by the mutant led to strong defence responses of rice. Consistently, in transcriptomic analysis of rice leaves subject to blast inoculation, a battery of defence responses was found to be induced exclusively on M1575 challenge. For further exploration, we tested the pathogenicity on a highly susceptible rice variety and detected the accumulation of Slp1, a known PTI suppressor. Both results suggested that the mutant most likely failed to overcome rice PTI. In addition, we showed that MoSec62 was able to rescue the thermosensitivity of a yeast Δsec62, and the MoSec62-GFP fusion was co-localized to the ER membrane, both suggesting the conservation of Sec62 homologues. In conclusion, our data indicate that MoSec62, probably as an ER membrane transporter, plays an essential role in antagonizing rice defence at the early stages of blast invasion.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs in plants during certain developmental stages or under adverse environmental conditions, as a result of the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER. To minimize the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER, a protein quality control (PQC) system monitors protein folding and eliminates misfolded proteins through either ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) or autophagy. ER stress elicits the unfolded protein response (UPR), which enhances the operation in plant cells of the ER protein folding machinery and the PQC system. The UPR also reduces protein folding demands in the ER by degrading mRNAs encoding secretory proteins. In plants subjected to severe or chronic stress, UPR promotes programmed cell death (PCD). Progress in the field in recent years has provided insights into the regulatory networks and signaling mechanisms of the ER stress responses in plants. In addition, novel physiological functions of the ER stress responses in plants for coordinating plant growth and development with changing environment have been recently revealed.

Abstract
Soybean is a widely cultivated crop; however, it is sensitive to flooding and drought stresses. The adverse environmental cues cause the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins. To investigate the mechanisms in response to flooding and drought stresses, ER proteomics was performed in soybean root tips. The enzyme activity of NADH cytochrome c reductase was two-fold higher in the ER than other fractions, indicating that the ER was isolated with high purity. Protein abundance of ribosomal proteins was decreased under both stresses compared to control condition; however, the percentage of increased ribosomes was two-fold higher in flooding compared to drought. The ER proteins related to protein glycosylation and signaling were in response to both stresses. Compared to control condition, calnexin was decreased under both stresses; however, protein disulfide isomerase-like proteins and heat shock proteins were markedly decreased under flooding and drought conditions, respectively. Furthermore, fewer glycoproteins and higher levels of cytosolic calcium were identified under both stresses compared to control condition. These results suggest that reduced accumulation of glycoproteins in response to both stresses might be due to dysfunction of protein folding through calnexin/calreticulin cycle. Additionally, the increased cytosolic calcium levels induced by flooding and drought stresses might disturb the ER environment for proper protein folding in soybean root tips.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Plants have evolved complicated responses to developmental changes and stressful environmental conditions. Subcellular proteomics has the potential to elucidate localized cellular responses and investigate communications among subcellular compartments during plant development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Soybean, which is a valuable legume crop rich in protein and vegetable oil, can grow in several climatic zones; however, the growth and yield of soybean are markedly decreased under stresses. To date, numerous proteomic studies have been performed in soybean to examine the specific protein profiles of cell wall, plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and endoplasmic reticulum. In this review, methods for the purification and purity assessment of subcellular organelles from soybean are summarized. In addition, the findings from subcellular proteomic analyses of soybean during development and under stresses, particularly flooding stress, are presented and the proteins regulated among subcellular compartments are discussed. Continued advances in subcellular proteomics are expected to greatly contribute to the understanding of the responses and interactions that occur within and among subcellular compartments during development and under stressful environmental conditions. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Subcellular proteomics has the potential to investigate the cellular events and interactions among subcellular compartments in response to development and stresses in plants. Soybean could grow in several climatic zones; however, the growth and yield of soybean are markedly decreased under stresses. Numerous proteomics of cell wall, plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and endoplasmic reticulum was carried out to investigate the respecting proteins and their functions in soybean during development or under stresses. In this review, methods of subcellular-organelle enrichment and purity assessment are summarized. In addition, previous findings of subcellular proteomics are presented, and functional proteins regulated among different subcellular are discussed. Subcellular proteomics contributes greatly to uncovering responses and interactions among subcellular compartments during development and under stressful environmental conditions in soybean.
