PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 216:109199. [PMID: 39418917 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.109199] [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: 07/05/2024] [Revised: 09/29/2024] [Accepted: 10/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/19/2024]
Abstract
The pollution of soil with heavy metals (HMs) has become an environmental problem of global concern. Phytoremediation, whereby plants extract HMs from soil, can efficiently and substantially reduce HM pollution in soil in an environmentally friendly manner. Cadmium-induced protein AS8 (CIPAS8) is present in many plants and its expression is induced by HMs. In this study, PeCIPAS8 and SlCIPAS8 were transformed into 84K poplar to study their effects on tolerance to, and translocation of, cadmium (Cd) in woody plants. Localization analyses showed that two CIPAS8 proteins were localized at the plasma membrane when transiently expressed in tobacco leaf epidermal cells. Compared with wild-type 84K poplar seedlings, transgenic poplar lines overexpressing PeCIPAS8 or SlCIPAS8 showed increased Cd contents and decreased Cd tolerance. Transgenic poplar lines overexpressing PeCIPAS8 or SlCIPAS8 accumulated more Cd in the roots, stems, and leaves, but the plant height did not differ significantly, compared with wild-type 84K poplar under Cd stress during the vegetative stage. CIPAS8 increased the Cd influx rate of transgenic poplar roots compared with that of the wild type, and affected the transcription levels of other metal transporters. These findings show that CIPAS8 increases Cd flux into plant tissues and demonstrate moderate Cd sensitivity of the plant. Therefore, CIPAS8 is an influx transporter with the potential to increase the uptake of toxic HMs by woody plants growing in HM-contaminated soils.

[PMID: 38873931 PMCID: PMC11423658 DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2024.2366748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Microglia are specialized macrophages responsible for the clearance of dead neurons and pathogens by phagocytosis and degradation. The degradation requires phagosome maturation and acidification provided by the vesicular- or vacuolar-type H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase), which is composed of the cytoplasmic V1 domain and the membrane-embedded Vo domain. The V-ATPase a subunit, an integral part of the Vo domain, has four isoforms in mammals. The functions of different isoforms on phagosome maturation in different cells/species remain controversial. Here we show that mutations of both the V-ATPase Atp6v0a1 and Tcirg1b/Atp6v0a3 subunits lead to the accumulation of phagosomes in zebrafish microglia. However, their mechanisms are different. The V-ATPase Atp6v0a1 subunit is mainly distributed in early and late phagosomes. Defects of this subunit lead to a defective transition from early phagosomes to late phagosomes. In contrast, The V-ATPase Tcirg1b/Atp6v0a3 subunit is primarily located on lysosomes and regulates late phagosome-lysosomal fusion. Defective Tcirg1b/Atp6v0a3, but not Atp6v0a1 subunit leads to reduced acidification and impaired macroautophagy/autophagy in microglia. We further showed that ATP6V0A1/a1 and TCIRG1/a3 subunits in mouse macrophages preferentially located in endosomes and lysosomes, respectively. Blocking these subunits disrupted early-to-late endosome transition and endosome-to-lysosome fusion, respectively. Taken together, our results highlight the essential and conserved roles played by different V-ATPase subunits in multiple steps of phagocytosis and endocytosis across various species.Abbrevations: Apoe: apolipoprotein E; ANXA5/annexin V: annexin A5; ATP6V0A1/a1: ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a1; ATP6V0A2/a2: ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a2; ATP6V0A4/a4: ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a4; dpf: days post-fertilization; EEA1: early endosome antigen 1; HOPS: homotypic fusion and protein sorting; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; Lcp1: lymphocyte cytosolic protein 1 (L-plastin); Map1lc3/Lc3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; NR: neutral red; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PtdIns: phosphatidylinositol; PtdIns3P: phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate; PtdIns(3,5)P2: phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate; RAB4: RAB4, member RAS oncogene family; RAB5: RAB5, member RAS oncogene family; RAB7: RAB7, member RAS oncogene family; TCIRG1/Atp6v0a3/a3: T cell immune regulator 1, ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a3; V-ATPase: vacuolar-type H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase; Xla.Tubb2b/NBT: tubulin beta 2B class IIb.

Abstract
Macrophage-mediated programmed cell removal (PrCR) is crucial for the identification and elimination of needless cells that maintain tissue homeostasis. The efficacy of PrCR depends on the balance between pro-phagocytic "eat me" signals and anti-phagocytic "don't eat me" signals. Recently, a growing number of studies have shown that tumourigenesis and progression are closely associated with PrCR. In the tumour microenvironment, PrCR activated by the "eat me" signal is counterbalanced by the "don't eat me" signal of CD47/SIRPα, resulting in tumour immune escape. Therefore, targeting exciting "eat me" signalling while simultaneously suppressing "don't eat me" signalling and eventually inducing macrophages to produce effective PrCR will be a very attractive antitumour strategy. Here, we comprehensively review the functions of PrCR-activating signal molecules (CRT, PS, Annexin1, SLAMF7) and PrCR-inhibiting signal molecules (CD47/SIRPα, MHC-I/LILRB1, CD24/Siglec-10, SLAMF3, SLAMF4, PD-1/PD-L1, CD31, GD2, VCAM1), the interactions between these molecules, and Warburg effect. In addition, we highlight the molecular regulatory mechanisms that affect immune system function by exciting or suppressing PrCR. Finally, we review the research advances in tumour therapy by activating PrCR and discuss the challenges and potential solutions to smooth the way for tumour treatment strategies that target PrCR.

Abstract
As the most prominent proton pumps in plants, vacuolar H+-ATPases (VHAs) comprise multiple subunits that are important for physiological processes and stress tolerance in plants. However, few studies on the roles of subunit genes of VHAs in chrysanthemum have been reported to date. In this study, the gene of A subunit of V-ATPase in chrysanthemum (CmVHA-A) was cloned and identified. CmVHA-A was conserved with VHA-A proteins from other plants. Expression analysis showed that CmVHA-A was highly expressed in most tissues of chrysanthemum except for the flower bud, and was readily induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment. Functional analysis demonstrated that CmVHA-A exerted a negative influence on the growth and development of shoot and root of chrysanthemum under normal conditions. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis revealed the possible explanations for phenotypic differences between transgenic and wild-type (WT) plants. Under drought conditions, CmVHA-A positively affected the drought tolerance of chrysanthemum by enhancing antioxidase activity and alleviating photosynthetic disruption. Overall, CmVHA-A plays opposite roles in plant growth and drought tolerance of chrysanthemums under different growing conditions.

Genotyping-by-Sequencing Based Investigation of Population Structure and Genome Wide Association Studies for Seven Agronomically Important Traits in a Set of 346 Oryza rufipogon Accessions. RICE (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 15:37. [PMID: 35819660 PMCID: PMC9276952 DOI: 10.1186/s12284-022-00582-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Being one of the most important staple dietary constituents globally, genetic enhancement of cultivated rice for yield, agronomically important traits is of substantial importance. Even though the climatic factors and crop management practices impact complex traits like yield immensely, the contribution of variation by underlying genetic factors surpasses them all. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of utilizing exotic germplasm, landraces in enhancing the diversity of gene pool, leading to better selections and thus superior cultivars. Thus, to fully exploit the potential of progenitor of Asian cultivated rice for productivity related traits, genome wide association study (GWAS) for seven agronomically important traits was conducted on a panel of 346 O. rufipogon accessions using a set of 15,083 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphic markers. The phenotypic data analysis indicated large continuous variation for all the traits under study, with a significant negative correlation observed between grain parameters and agronomic parameters like plant height, culm thickness. The presence of 74.28% admixtures in the panel as revealed by investigating population structure indicated the panel to be very poorly genetically differentiated, with rapid LD decay. The genome-wide association analyses revealed a total of 47 strong MTAs with 19 SNPs located in/close to previously reported QTL/genic regions providing a positive analytic proof for our studies. The allelic differences of significant MTAs were found to be statistically significant at 34 genomic regions. A total of 51 O. rufipogon accessions harboured combination of superior alleles and thus serve as potential candidates for accelerating rice breeding programs. The present study identified 27 novel SNPs to be significantly associated with different traits. Allelic differences between cultivated and wild rice at significant MTAs determined superior alleles to be absent at 12 positions implying substantial scope of improvement by their targeted introgression into cultivars. Introgression of novel significant genomic regions into breeder's pool would broaden the genetic base of cultivated rice, thus making the crop more resilient.

Abstract
H+-ATPases, including the phosphorylated intermediate-type (P-type) and vacuolar-type (V-type) H+-ATPases, are important ATP-driven proton pumps that generate membrane potential and provide proton motive force for secondary active transport. P- and V-type H+-ATPases have distinct structures and subcellular localizations and play various roles in growth and stress responses. A P-type H+-ATPase is mainly regulated at the posttranslational level by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of residues in its autoinhibitory C terminus. The expression and activity of both P- and V-type H+-ATPases are highly regulated by hormones and environmental cues. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding of the evolution, regulation, and physiological roles of P- and V-type H+-ATPases, which coordinate and are involved in plant growth and stress adaptation. Understanding the different roles and the regulatory mechanisms of P- and V-type H+-ATPases provides a new perspective for improving plant growth and stress tolerance by modulating the activity of H+-ATPases, which will mitigate the increasing environmental stress conditions associated with ongoing global climate change.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:1555-1566. [PMID: 34981606 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vacuolar (H+ )-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multi-subunit enzyme that hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to transport protons across a cellular membrane, and it plays an important role in numerous biological processes, including in growth, development and immune responses. The c subunit of V-ATPase is a highly conserved subunit of the rotatory proteolipid ring that is required for binding and transporting protons. To date, there are only a few published reports on V-ATPase-c functions in insects. RESULTS We identified and characterized the V-ATPase-c gene in Locusta migratoria, one of the most destructive agricultural insect pests in the world. LmV-ATPase-c was predominately expressed in Malpighian tubules of nymphs, followed by the hindgut and ovary, while the other tissues showed relatively low expression levels. Silencing of LmV-ATPase-c caused severe molting defects in nymphs and a high mortality rate of > 90%. Histological staining and microscopic examination of sections from the abdominal cuticle revealed the absence of newly formed cuticle in nymphs that were injected with dsLmV-ATPase-c. In addition, silencing of LmV-ATPase-c transcript levels significantly impaired RNA interference (RNAi) efficiency of a reporter gene. By quantifying double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) amounts by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we found that RNAi against LmV-ATPase-c provoked a dramatic accumulation of dsRNA in the endosomes of epidermal and midgut cells of Locusta migratoria. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that LmV-ATPase-c is indispensable for the formation of new cuticle during the molting process and has pivotal functions in dsRNA escape from endosomes. LmV-ATPase-c might be a valuable target for developing new strategies for insect pest management. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Dense vesicles (DVs) are Golgi-derived plant-specific carriers that mediate post-Golgi transport of seed storage proteins in angiosperms. How this process is regulated remains elusive. Here, we report a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant, named glutelin precursor accumulation8 (gpa8) that abnormally accumulates 57-kDa proglutelins in the mature endosperm. Cytological analyses of the gpa8 mutant revealed that proglutelin-containing DVs were mistargeted to the apoplast forming electron-dense aggregates and paramural bodies in developing endosperm cells. Differing from previously reported gpa mutants with post-Golgi trafficking defects, the gpa8 mutant showed bent Golgi bodies, defective trans-Golgi network (TGN), and enlarged DVs, suggesting a specific role of GPA8 in DV biogenesis. We demonstrated that GPA8 encodes a subunit E isoform 1 of vacuolar H+-ATPase (OsVHA-E1) that mainly localizes to TGN and the tonoplast. Further analysis revealed that the luminal pH of the TGN and vacuole is dramatically increased in the gpa8 mutant. Moreover, the colocalization of GPA1 and GPA3 with TGN marker protein in gpa8 protoplasts was obviously decreased. Our data indicated that OsVHA-E1 is involved in endomembrane luminal pH homeostasis, as well as maintenance of Golgi morphology and TGN required for DV biogenesis and subsequent protein trafficking in rice endosperm cells.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase, VHA) is a highly conserved, ATP-driven multisubunit proton pump that is widely distributed in all eukaryotic cells. V-ATPase consists of two domains formed by at least 13 different subunits, the membrane peripheral V1 domain responsible for ATP hydrolysis, and the membrane-integral V0 domain responsible for proton translocation. V-ATPase plays an essential role in energizing secondary active transport and is indispensable to plants. In addition to multiple stress responses, plant V-ATPase is also implicated in physiological processes such as growth, development, and morphogenesis. Based on the identification of distinct V-ATPase mutants and advances in luminal pH measurements in vivo, it has been revealed that this holoenzyme complex plays a pivotal role in pH homeostasis of the plant endomembrane system and endocytic and secretory trafficking. Here, we review recent progress in comprehending the biochemical properties and physiological functions of plant V-ATPase and explore the topics that require further elucidation.

Gupta A, Shaw BP, Sahu BB. Post-translational regulation of the membrane transporters contributing to salt tolerance in plants. FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOLOGY : FPB 2021; 48:1199-1212.

Abstract
This review article summarises the role of membrane transporters and their regulatory kinases in minimising the toxicity of Na+ in the plant under salt stress. The salt-tolerant plants keep their cytosolic level of Na+ up to 10-50mM. The first line of action in this context is the generation of proton motive force by the plasma membrane H+-ATPase. The generated proton motive force repolarises the membrane that gets depolarised due to passive uptake of Na+ under salt stress. The proton motive force generated also drives the plasma membrane Na+/H+ antiporter, SOS1 that effluxes the cytosolic Na+ back into the environment. At the intracellular level, Na+ is sequestered by the vacuole. Vacuolar Na+ uptake is mediated by Na+/H+ antiporter, NHX, driven by the electrochemical gradient for H+, generated by tonoplast H+ pumps, both H+ATPase and PPase. However, it is the expression of the regulatory kinases that make these transporters active through post-translational modification enabling them to effectively manage the cytosolic level of Na+, which is essential for tolerance to salinity in plants. Yet our knowledge of the expression and functioning of the regulatory kinases in plant species differing in tolerance to salinity is scant. Bioinformatics-based identification of the kinases like OsCIPK24 in crop plants, which are mostly salt-sensitive, may enable biotechnological intervention in making the crop cultivar more salt-tolerant, and effectively increasing its annual yield.

Arabidopsis cold-regulated plasma membrane protein Cor413pm1 is a regulator of ABA response. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2021; 561:88-92.

Abstract
Cold-regulated (COR) genes are considered downstream functional genes in the cold-response pathway. However, we identified a plasma membrane-type, AtCor413pm1, as a regulatory gene for the abscisic acid (ABA) response, and found that ABA induced it predominantly in Arabidopsis roots, vasculature, stipules, and guard cells. Differentially expressed genes combined with qPCR analysis revealed the expressions of three ABA-responsive genes (AtDTX50, AtABR1, and AtCIPK20) were significantly altered in the ABA-treated atcor413pm1 mutant, compared to the wild-type. Furthermore, the ABA-induced transient Ca2+ oscillation in the plasma membrane of atcor413pm1 roots was different from that observed in the wild-type. Our results revealed that AtCor413pm1 might play a role in the cross-talk between the ABA and stress response pathways.

Abstract
Soil salinization is a serious and growing problem around the world. Some plants, recognized as the recretohalophytes, can normally grow on saline-alkali soil without adverse effects by secreting excessive salt out of the body. The elucidation of the salt secretion process is of great significance for understanding the salt tolerance mechanism adopted by the recretohalophytes. Between the 1950s and the 1970s, three hypotheses, including the osmotic potential hypothesis, the transfer system similar to liquid flow in animals, and vesicle-mediated exocytosis, were proposed to explain the salt secretion process of plant salt glands. More recently, increasing evidence has indicated that vesicular transport plays vital roles in salt secretion of recretohalophytes. Here, we summarize recent findings, especially regarding the molecular evidence on the functional roles of vesicular trafficking in the salt secretion process of plant salt glands. A model of salt secretion in salt gland is also proposed.

Abstract
Vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPase) are multi-subunit complexes that function as ATP hydrolysis-driven proton pumps. They play pivotal roles in physiological processes, such as development, metabolism, stress, and growth. However, there have been very few studies on the characterisation of V-ATPase (VHA) genes in Rosaceae species. Therefore, in the present study, we performed a genome-wide analysis and identified VHA gene family members in five Rosaceae species (Pyrus bretschneideri, Malus domestica, Prunus persica, Fragaria vesca, and Prunus mume). A total of 159 VHA genes were identified, and were classified into 13 subfamilies according to the phylogenetic analysis. The structure of VHA proteins revealed high similarity among different VHA genes within the same subgroup. Gene duplication event analysis revealed that whole-genome duplications represented the major pathway for expansion of the Pyrus bretschneideri VHA genes (PbrVHA genes). The tissue-specific expression analysis of the pear showed that 36 PbrVHA genes were expressed in major tissues. Seven PbrVHA genes were significantly downregulated when the pollen tube growth stopped. Moreover, many PbrVHA genes were differentially expressed during fruit development and storage, suggesting that VHA genes play specific roles in development and senescence. The present study provides fundamental information for further elucidating the potential roles of VHA genes during development and senescence.

Abstract
Plant salt tolerance is a complex mechanism, and different plant species have different strategies for surviving salt stress. In the present study, we analyzed and compared the morphological and physiological responses of two willow species (Salix linearistipularis and Salix matsudana) from different habitats to salt stress. S. linearistipularis exhibited higher seed germination rates and seedling root Na+ efflux than S. matsudana under salt stress. After salt treatment, S. linearistipularis leaves exhibited less Na+ accumulation, loss of water and chlorophyll, reduction in photosynthetic capacity, and damage to leaf cell structure than leaves of S. matsudana. Scanning electron microscopy combined with gas chromatography mass spectrometry showed that S. linearistipularis leaves had higher cuticular wax loads than S. matsudana leaves. Overall, our results showed that S. linearistipularis had higher salt tolerance than S. matsudana, which was associated with different morphological and physiological responses to salt stress. Furthermore, our study suggested that S. linearistipularis could be a promising tree species for saline-alkali land greening and improvement.

Abstract
Cold-regulated (COR) genes, located downstream of the C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) in cold signaling pathways, play a central role in plant response to cold stress. In our previous studies, a Cor413 chloroplast envelope membrane protein, PsCor413im1, was identified from the cold-tolerant plant Phlox subulata. Its overexpression enhanced cold tolerance and altered AtCor15 expression in Arabidopsis. In the present study, the function of PsCor413im1 was further investigated. Transmission electron microscope observation showed that the chloroplast envelope membrane of cold-treated transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings was more stable than that of cold-treated wild-type seedlings. Subcellular localization of green fluorescent protein as a marker revealed that the N-terminal and putative third transmembrane domain (TMD) of PsCor413im1 were essential for its targeting of the chloroplast envelope membrane. Furthermore, overexpression of PsCor413im1 fragments containing N-terminal and third TMD also altered the expression of AtCor15 genes in Arabidopsis. Overall, our results suggest that PsCor413im1 may stabilize the chloroplast envelope membrane under cold stress, and its N-terminal and third TMD are important for its targeting capability and function.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), a multisubunit proton pump located on the endomembrane, plays an important role in plant growth. The Arabidopsis thaliana V-ATPase d subunit (VHA-d) consists of two isoforms; AtVHA-d1 and AtVHA-d2. In this study, the function of AtVHA-d2 was investigated. Histochemical analysis revealed that the expression of AtVHA-d1 and AtVHA-d2 was generally highly overlapping in multiple tissues at different developmental stages of Arabidopsis. Subcellular localization revealed that AtVHA-d2 was mainly localized to the vacuole. AtVHA-d2 expression was significantly induced by oxidative stress. Analysis of phenotypic and H2O2 content showed that the atvha-d2 mutant was sensitive to oxidative stress. The noninvasive microtest monitoring demonstrated that the net H+ influx in the atvha-d2 roots was weaker than that in the wild-type under normal conditions. However, oxidative stress resulted in the H+ efflux in atvha-d2 roots, which was significantly different from that in the wild-type. RNA-seq combined with qPCR analysis showed that the expression of several members of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase gene (AtAHA) family in atvha-d2 was significantly different from that in the wild-type. Overall, our results indicate that AtVHA-d2 plays a role in Arabidopsis in response to oxidative stress by affecting H+ flux and AtAHA gene expression.

Heterologous Expression of Nitrate Assimilation Related-Protein DsNAR2.1/NRT3.1 Affects Uptake of Nitrate and Ammonium in Nitrogen-Starved Arabidopsis. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21114027.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth. Plants absorb and utilize N mainly in the form of nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+). In this study, the nitrate transporter DsNRT3.1 (also known as the nitrate assimilation-related protein DsNAR2.1) was characterized from Dianthus spiculifolius. A quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis showed that the DsNRT3.1 expression was induced by NO3-. Under N-starvation conditions, the transformed Arabidopsis seedlings expressing DsNRT3.1 had longer roots and a greater fresh weight than the wild type. Subcellular localization showed that DsNRT3.1 was mainly localized to the plasma membrane in Arabidopsis root hair cells. Non-invasive micro-test (NMT) monitoring showed that the root hairs of N-starved transformed Arabidopsis seedlings had a stronger NO3- and NH4+ influx than the wild-type seedlings, using with NO3- or NH4+ as the sole N source; contrastingly, transformed seedlings only had a stronger NO3- influx when NO3- and NH4+ were present simultaneously. In addition, the qPCR analysis showed that the expression of AtNRT2 genes (AtNRT2.1-2.6), and particularly of AtNRT2.5, in the transformed Arabidopsis differed from that in the wild type. Overall, our results suggest that the heterologous expression of DsNRT3.1 affects seedlings' growth by enhancing the NO3- and NH4+ uptake in N-starved Arabidopsis. This may be related to the differential expression of AtNRT2 genes.

Abstract
Tobacco floral nectar (FN) is a biological fluid produced by nectaries composed of sugars, amino acids and proteins called nectarins, involved in the floral defense. FN provides an ideal source of nutrients for microorganisms. Understanding the role of nectar proteins is essential to predict impacts in microbial growth, composition and plants-pollinators interactions. Using LC-MS/MS-based comparative proteomic analysis we identified 22 proteins from P. hybrida, 35 proteins from D. stramonium, and 144 proteins from 23 species of Nicotiana. The data are available at ProteomeXchance (PXD014760). GO analysis and secretory signal prediction demonstrated that defense/stress was the largest group of proteins in the genus Nicotiana. The Nicotiana spp. proteome consisted of 105 exclusive proteins such as lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), Nectar Redox Cycle proteins, proteases inhibitors, and PR-proteins. Analysis by taxonomic sections demonstrated that LTPs were most abundant in Undulatae and Noctiflora, while nectarins were more abundant in Rusticae, Suaveolens, Polydicliae, and Alata sections. Peroxidases (Pox) and chitinases (Chit) were exclusive to P. hybrida, while D. stramonium had only seven unique proteins. Biochemical analysis confirmed these differences. These findings support the hypothesis that, although conserved, there is differential abundance of proteins related to defense/stress which may impact the mechanisms of floral defense. SIGNIFICANCE: This study represents a comparative proteomic analysis of floral nectars of the Nicotiana spp. with two correlated Solanaceous species. Significant differences were identified between the proteome of taxonomic sections providing relevant insights into the group of proteins related to defense/stress associated with Nectar Redox Cycle, antimicrobial proteins and signaling pathways. The activity of FNs proteins is suggested impact the microbial growth. The knowledge about these proteomes provides significant insights into the diversity of proteins secreted in the nectars and the array of mechanisms used by Nicotiana spp. in its floral defense.

Abstract
The 6K2 protein of potyviruses plays a key role in the viral infection in plants. In the present study, the coding sequence of 6K2 was cloned from Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) strain FZ1 into pBT3-STE to generate the plasmid pBT3-STE-6K2, which was used as bait to screen a cDNA library prepared from sugarcane plants infected with SCMV based on the DUALmembrane system. One hundred and fifty-seven positive colonies were screened and sequenced, and the corresponding full-length genes were cloned from sugarcane cultivar ROC22. Then, 24 genes with annotations were obtained, and the deduced proteins were classified into three groups, in which eight proteins were involved in the stress response, 12 proteins were involved in transport, and four proteins were involved in photosynthesis based on their biological functions. Of the 24 proteins, 20 proteins were verified to interact with SCMV-6K2 by yeast two-hybrid assays. The possible roles of these proteins in SCMV infection on sugarcane are analyzed and discussed. This is the first report on the interaction of SCMV-6K2 with host factors from sugarcane, and will improve knowledge on the mechanism of SCMV infection in sugarcane.

Gene mutation associated with esl mediates shifts on fungal community composition in rhizosphere soil of rice at grain-filling stage. Sci Rep 2018; 8:17521.

Abstract
Generally, plant roots shape the rhizosphere fungal community but how individual plant genes involved in senescence affect this shaping is less studied. We used an early senescence leaf (esl) mutant rice and compared it with its isogenic wild type variety to evaluate the effect of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (VHA-A1) gene mutation on the rhizosphere fungal community structure and composition using a metagenomic pyrosequencing approach. The most predominate fungal phyla identified for both isogenic lines belonged to Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Glomeromycota, where Ascomycota were more prevalent in the esl mutant than the wild type variety. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis confirmed a significant rise in the richness of Cladosporium cladosporioides in esl mutant rice than the wild type variety. Correlation analysis revealed four most abundant genera identified for the esl mutant and their close association with yield and biomass decline, lipid peroxidation, lower root vitality, chlorophyll degradation and limited VHA activity. Higher K+ efflux, H+ and a lower Ca2+ influx was also observed in the esl mutant which could be the reason for abnormal functioning of mutant plants. These results illustrate that besides the well-known effect of senescence on plant physiology and yield decline, it can further shape the rhizosphere fungal community.

[PMID: 29307003 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-017-2241-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2017] [Accepted: 12/03/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Suppression of AtVHA-c5 expression results in changes in H+ and Na+ fluxes of roots, and increase sensitivity to salt in Arabidopsis. Vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), a multisubunit endomembrane proton pump, is essential in plant growth and response to environmental stresses. In the present study, the function of Arabidopsis V-ATPase subunit c5 (AtVHA-c5) gene in response to salt stress was investigated. Subcellular localization showed that AtVHA-c5 was mainly localized to endosomes and the vacuolar membrane in Arabidopsis. The analysis of quantitative real-time PCR showed that expression of AtVHA-c5 gene was induced by NaCl stress. Histochemical analysis revealed that AtVHA-c5 was expressed in the root epidermis of untreated Arabidopsis and in the whole root elongation zone after NaCl treatment. Phenotypic analysis showed that the atvha-c5 mutant is sensitive to high NaCl as compared to the wild type. The non-invasive micro-test technology measurement demonstrated that the net H+ and Na+ efflux in the root elongation zone of the atvha-c5 mutant was weaker than that of the wild type under NaCl treatment, suggesting that H+ and Na+ fluxes in atvha-c5 roots are impaired under NaCl stress. Moreover, compared to the wild type, the expression of AtSOS1 (salt overly sensitive 1) and AtAHA1 (plasma membrane H+-ATPase 1) were down-regulated in atvha-c5 roots under NaCl stress. Overall, our results indicate that AtVHA-c5 plays a role in Arabidopsis root response to NaCl stress by influencing H+ and Na+ fluxes.

Abstract
Plant SWEETs (sugars will eventually be exported transporters) play a role in plant growth and plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, DsSWEET12 from Dianthus spiculifolius was identified and characterized. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that DsSWEET12 expression was induced by sucrose starvation, mannitol, and hydrogen peroxide. Colocalization experiment showed that the DsSWEET12-GFP fusion protein was localized to the plasma membrane, which was labeled with FM4-64 dye, in Arabidopsis and suspension cells of D. spiculifolius. Compared to wild type plants, transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings overexpressing DsSWEET12 have longer roots and have a greater fresh weight, which depends on sucrose content. Furthermore, a relative root length analysis showed that transgenic Arabidopsis showed higher tolerance to osmotic and oxidative stresses. Finally, a sugar content analysis showed that the sucrose content in transgenic Arabidopsis was less than that in the wild type, while fructose and glucose contents were higher than those in the wild type. Taken together, our results suggest that DsSWEET12 plays an important role in seedling growth and plant response to osmotic and oxidative stress in Arabidopsis by influencing sugar metabolism.

Abstract
In plant cells, the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), a large multis`ubunit endomembrane proton pump, plays an important role in acidification of subcellular organelles, pH and ion homeostasis, and endocytic and secretory trafficking. V-ATPase subunit c (VHA-c) is essential for V-ATPase assembly, and is directly responsible for binding and transmembrane transport of protons. In previous studies, we identified a PutVHA-c gene from Puccinellia tenuiflora, and investigated its function in plant growth. Subcellular localization revealed that PutVHA-c is mainly localized in endosomal compartments. Overexpression of PutVHA-c enhanced V-ATPase activity and promoted plant growth in transgenic Arabidopsis. Furthermore, the activity of V-ATPase affected intracellular transport of the Golgi-derived endosomes. Our results showed that endomembrane localized-VHA-c contributes to plant growth by influencing V-ATPase-dependent endosomal trafficking. Here, we discuss these recent findings and speculate on the VHA-c mediated molecular mechanisms involved in plant growth, providing a better understanding of the functions of VHA-c and V-ATPase.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are cell compartments specialized for oil storage. Although their role and biogenesis are relatively well documented in seeds, little is known about their composition, structure and function in senescing leaves where they also accumulate. Here, we used a label free quantitative mass spectrometry approach to define the LD proteome of aging Arabidopsis leaves. We found that its composition is highly different from that of seed/cotyledon and identified 28 proteins including 9 enzymes of the secondary metabolism pathways involved in plant defense response. With the exception of the TRIGALACTOSYLDIACYLGLYCEROL2 protein, we did not identify enzymes implicated in lipid metabolism, suggesting that growth of leaf LDs does not occur by local lipid synthesis but rather through contact sites with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or other membranes. The two most abundant proteins of the leaf LDs are the CALEOSIN3 and the SMALL RUBBER PARTICLE1 (AtSRP1); both proteins have structural functions and participate in plant response to stress. CALEOSIN3 and AtSRP1 are part of larger protein families, yet no other members were enriched in the LD proteome suggesting a specific role of both proteins in aging leaves. We thus examined the function of AtSRP1 at this developmental stage and found that AtSRP1 modulates the expression of CALEOSIN3 in aging leaves. Furthermore, AtSRP1 overexpression induces the accumulation of triacylglycerol with an unusual composition compared to wild-type. We demonstrate that, although AtSRP1 expression is naturally increased in wild type senescing leaves, its overexpression in senescent transgenic lines induces an over-accumulation of LDs organized in clusters at restricted sites of the ER. Conversely, atsrp1 knock-down mutants displayed fewer but larger LDs. Together our results reveal that the abundancy of AtSRP1 regulates the neo-formation of LDs during senescence. Using electron tomography, we further provide evidence that LDs in leaves share tenuous physical continuity as well as numerous contact sites with the ER membrane. Thus, our data suggest that leaf LDs are functionally distinct from seed LDs and that their biogenesis is strictly controlled by AtSRP1 at restricted sites of the ER.

Abstract
Soil alkalization severely affects crop growth and agricultural productivity. Alkali salts impose ionic, osmotic, and high pH stresses on plants. The alkali tolerance molecular mechanism in roots from halophyte Puccinellia tenuiflora is still unclear. Here, the changes associated with Na2CO3 tolerance in P. tenuiflora roots were assessed using physiological and iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analyses. We set up the first protein dataset in P. tenuiflora roots containing 2,671 non-redundant proteins. Our results showed that Na2CO3 slightly inhibited root growth, caused ROS accumulation, cell membrane damage, and ion imbalance, as well as reduction of transport and protein synthesis/turnover. The Na2CO3-responsive patterns of 72 proteins highlighted specific signaling and metabolic pathways in roots. Ca2+ signaling was activated to transmit alkali stress signals as inferred by the accumulation of calcium-binding proteins. Additionally, the activities of peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, and the peroxiredoxin abundance were increased for ROS scavenging. Furthermore, ion toxicity was relieved through Na+ influx restriction and compartmentalization, and osmotic homeostasis reestablishment due to glycine betaine accumulation. Importantly, two transcription factors were increased for regulating specific alkali-responsive gene expression. Carbohydrate metabolism-related enzymes were increased for providing energy and carbon skeletons for cellular metabolism. All these provide new insights into alkali-tolerant mechanisms in roots.

Abstract
Leaf senescence is a programmed developmental process orchestrated by many factors, but its molecular regulation is not yet fully understood. In this study, a novel Oryza sativa premature leaf senescence mutant (ospls1) was examined. Despite normal development in early seedlings, the ospls1 mutant leaves displayed lesion-mimics and early senescence, and a high transpiration rate after tillering. The mutant also showed seed dormancy attributable to physical (defect of micropyle structure) and physiological (abscisic acid sensitivity) factors. Using a map-based cloning approach, we determined that a cytosine deletion in the OsPLS1 gene encoding vacuolar H(+)-ATPase subunit A1 (VHA-A1) underlies the phenotypic abnormalities in the ospls1 mutant. The OsPSL1/VHA-A1 transcript levels progressively declined with the age-dependent leaf senescence in both the ospls1 mutant and its wild type. The significant decrease in both OsPSL1/VHA-A1 gene expression and VHA enzyme activity in the ospls1 mutant strongly suggests a negative regulatory role for the normal OsPLS1/VHA-A1 gene in the onset of rice leaf senescence. The ospls1 mutant featured higher salicylic acid (SA) levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and activation of signal transduction by up-regulation of WRKY genes in leaves. Consistent with this, the ospls1 mutant exhibited hypersensitivity to exogenous SA and/or H2O2 Collectively, these results indicated that the OsPSL1/VAH-A1 mutation played a causal role in premature leaf senescence through a combination of ROS and SA signals. To conclude, OsPLS1 is implicated in leaf senescence and seed dormancy in rice.
