Abstract
Plants have developed the ability to adjust to the day/night cycle through the expression of diel genes, which allow them to effectively respond to environmental changes and optimise their growth and development. Diel oscillations also have substantial implications in many physiological processes, including photosynthesis, floral development, and environmental stress responses. The expression of diel genes is regulated by a combination of the circadian clock and responses to environmental cues, such as light and temperature. A great deal of information is available on the transcriptional regulation of diel gene expression. However, the extent to which translational regulation is involved in controlling diel changes in expression is not yet clear. To investigate the impact of translational regulation on diel expression, we conducted Ribo-seq and RNA-seq analyses on a time-series sample of Arabidopsis shoots cultivated under a 12 h light/dark cycle. Our results showed that translational regulation is involved in about 71% of the genes exhibiting diel changes in mRNA abundance or translational activity, including clock genes, many of which are subject to both translational and transcriptional control. They also revealed that the diel expression of glycosylation and ion-transporter-related genes is mainly established through translational regulation. The expression of several diel genes likely subject to translational regulation through upstream open-reading frames was also determined.

Abstract
Thiol-based redox regulation is a crucial posttranslational mechanism to acclimate plants to changing light availability. Here, we conducted a biotin switch-based redox proteomics study in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to systematically investigate dynamics of thiol-redox networks in response to temporal changes in light availability and across genotypes lacking parts of the thioredoxin (Trx) or NADPH-Trx-reductase C (NTRC) systems in the chloroplast. Time-resolved dynamics revealed light led to marked decreases in the oxidation states of many chloroplast proteins with photosynthetic functions during the first 10 min, followed by their partial reoxidation after 2 to 6 h into the photoperiod. This involved f, m, and x-type Trx proteins showing similar light-induced reduction-oxidation dynamics, while NTRC, 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, and Trx y2 showed an opposing pattern, being more oxidized in light than dark. In Arabidopsis trxf1f2, trxm1m2, or ntrc mutants, most proteins showed increased oxidation states in the light compared to wild type, suggesting their light-dependent dynamics were related to NTRC/Trx networks. While NTRC deficiency had a strong influence in all light conditions, deficiencies in f- or m-type Trxs showed differential impacts on the thiol-redox proteome depending on the light environment, being higher in constant or fluctuating light, respectively. The results indicate plant redox proteomes are subject to dynamic changes in reductive and oxidative pathways to cooperatively fine-tune photosynthetic and metabolic processes in the light. The importance of the individual elements of the NTRC/Trx networks mediating these responses depend on the extent of light variability, with NTRC playing a crucial role to balance protein-redox states in rapidly fluctuating light.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine has been utilized in China for approximately thousands of years in clinical settings to prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD) and enhance memory, despite the lack of a systematic exploration of its biological underpinnings. Exciting research has corroborated the beneficial effects of tetrahydroxy stilbene glycoside (TSG), an extract derived from Polygonum multiflorum, in delaying learning and memory impairment in a model that mimics AD. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to investigate the major function of TSG upon protein regulation in AD. Herein, a novel approach, encompassing data independent acquisition (DIA), DIA phosphorylated proteomics, and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), was utilized to integrate quantitative proteomic data collected from APP/PS1 mouse model exhibiting toxic intracellular aggregation of Aβ. Initially, we deliberated upon both single and multi-dimensional data pertaining to AD model mice. Furthermore, we authenticated disparities in protein phosphorylation quantity and expression, phosphorylation function, and ultimately phosphorylation kinase analysis. In order to validate the results, we utilized PRM ion monitoring technology to identify potential protein or peptide biomarkers. In the mixed samples, targeted detection of 50 target proteins revealed that 26 to 33 target proteins were stably detected by PRM. In summary, our findings provide new candidates for AD biomarker, which have been identified and validated through protein researches conducted on mouse brains. This offers a wealth of potential resources for extensive biomarker validation in neurodegenerative diseases. SIGNIFICANCE: DIA phosphorylated proteomics technique was used to detect and analyze phosphorylated proteins in brain tissues of mice with AD. Data were analyzed by various bioinformatics tools to explore the phosphorylation events and characterize them related to TSG. The results of DIA were further verified by PRM. Besides, we mapped the major metabolite classes emerging from the analyses to key biological pathways implicated in AD to understand the potential roles of the molecules and the interactions in triggering symptom onset and progression of AD. Meanwhile, we clarified that in the context of AD onset and TSG intervention, the changes in proteins, protein phosphorylation, phosphorylation kinases, and the internal connections.

Abstract
Ascorbate is involved in numerous vital processes, in particular in response to abiotic but also biotic stresses whose frequency and amplitude increase with climate change. Ascorbate levels vary greatly depending on species, tissues, or stages of development, but also in response to stress. Since its discovery, the ascorbate biosynthetic pathway has been intensely studied and it appears that GDP-l-galactose phosphorylase (GGP) is the enzyme with the greatest role in the control of ascorbate biosynthesis. Like other enzymes of this pathway, its expression is induced by various environmental and also developmental factors. Although mRNAs encoding it are among the most abundant in the transcriptome, the protein is only present in very small quantities. In fact, GGP translation is repressed by a negative feedback mechanism involving a small open reading frame located upstream of the coding sequence (uORF). Moreover, its activity is inhibited by a PAS/LOV type photoreceptor, the action of which is counteracted by blue light. Consequently, this multi-level regulation of GGP would allow fine control of ascorbate synthesis. Indeed, experiments varying the expression of GGP have shown that it plays a central role in response to stress. This new understanding will be useful for developing varieties adapted to future environmental conditions.

Large-scale phosphoproteome analysis in wheat seedling leaves provides evidence for extensive phosphorylation of regulatory proteins during CWMV infection. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 23:532. [PMID: 37914991 PMCID: PMC10621099 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-023-04559-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese wheat mosaic virus (CWMV) often causes severe damage to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yield. It is well known that a successful infection in plants depends on a complex interaction between the host plant and the pathogen. Post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins is considered to be one of the main processes that decides the outcome of the plant-pathogen arms race during this interaction. Although numerous studies have investigated PTM in various organisms, there has been no large-scale phosphoproteomic analysis of virus-infected wheat plants. We therefore aimed to investigate the CWMV infection-induced phosphoproteomics changes in wheat by high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) using affinity-enriched peptides followed by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS Through this study, a total of 4095 phosphorylation sites have been identified in 1968 proteins, and 11.6% of the phosphorylated proteins exhibited significant changes (PSPCs) in their phosphorylation levels upon CWMV infection. The result of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that most of the PSPCs were associated with photosynthesis, plant-pathogen interactions, and MAPK signaling pathways. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis result showed that these PSPCs were mainly participated in the regulation of biosynthesis and metabolism, protein kinase activities, and transcription factors. Furthermore, the phosphorylation levels of TaChi1 and TaP5CS, two plant immunity-related enzymes, were significantly changed upon CWMV infection, resulting in a significant decrease in CWMV accumulation in the infected plants. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that phosphorylation modification of protein plays a critical role in wheat resistance to CWMV infection. Upon CWMV infection, wheat plants will regulate the levels of extra- and intra-cellular signals and modifications of enzyme activities via protein phosphorylation. This novel information about the strategies used by wheat to resist CWMV infection will help researchers to breed new CWMV-resistant cultivars and to better understand the arms race between wheat and CWMV.

Abstract
Diurnal dark to light transition causes profound physiological changes in plant metabolism. These changes require distinct modes of regulation as a unique feature of photosynthetic lifestyle. The activities of several key metabolic enzymes are regulated by light-dependent post-translational modifications (PTM) and have been studied at depth at the level of individual proteins. In contrast, a global picture of the light-dependent PTMome dynamics is lacking, leaving the response of a large proportion of cellular function undefined. Here, we investigated the light-dependent metabolome and proteome changes in Arabidopsis rosettes in a time resolved manner to dissect their kinetic interplay, focusing on phosphorylation, lysine acetylation, and cysteine-based redox switches. Of over 24 000 PTM sites that were detected, more than 1700 were changed during the transition from dark to light. While the first changes, as measured 5 min after onset of illumination, occurred mainly in the chloroplasts, PTM changes at proteins in other compartments coincided with the full activation of the Calvin-Benson cycle and the synthesis of sugars at later timepoints. Our data reveal connections between metabolism and PTM-based regulation throughout the cell. The comprehensive multiome profiling analysis provides unique insight into the extent by which photosynthesis reprograms global cell function and adds a powerful resource for the dissection of diverse cellular processes in the context of photosynthetic function.

Abstract
Circadian regulation produces a biological measure of time within cells. The daily cycle in the availability of light for photosynthesis causes dramatic changes in biochemical processes in photosynthetic organisms, with the circadian clock having crucial roles in adaptation to these fluctuating conditions. Correct alignment between the circadian clock and environmental day-night cycles maximizes plant productivity through its regulation of metabolism. Therefore, the processes that integrate circadian regulation with metabolism are key to understanding how the circadian clock contributes to plant productivity. This forms an important part of exploiting knowledge of circadian regulation to enhance sustainable crop production. Here, we examine the roles of circadian regulation in metabolic processes in source and sink organ structures of Arabidopsis. We also evaluate possible roles for circadian regulation in root exudation processes that deposit carbon into the soil, and the nature of the rhythmic interactions between plants and their associated microbial communities. Finally, we examine shared and differing aspects of the circadian regulation of metabolism between Arabidopsis and other model photosynthetic organisms, and between circadian control of metabolism in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms. This synthesis identifies a variety of future research topics, including a focus on metabolic processes that underlie biotic interactions within ecosystems.

Abstract
Casein kinase 1 (CK1) is serine/threonine protein kinase highly conserved among eukaryotes, and regulates multiple developmental and signaling events through phosphorylation of target proteins. Arabidopsis early flowering 1 (EL1)-like (AELs) are plant-specific CK1s with varied functions, but identification and validation of their substrates is a major bottleneck in elucidating their physiological roles. Here, we conducted a quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis in data-independent acquisition mode to systematically identify CK1 substrates. We extracted proteins from seedlings overexpressing individual AEL genes (AEL1/2/3/4-OE) or lacking AEL function (all ael single mutants and two triple mutants) to identify the high-confidence phosphopeptides with significantly altered abundance compared to wild-type Col-0. Among these, we selected 3985 phosphopeptides with higher abundance in AEL-OE lines or lower abundance in ael mutants compared with Col-0 as AEL-upregulated phosphopeptides, and defined 1032 phosphoproteins. Eight CK1s substrate motifs were enriched among AEL-upregulated phosphopeptides and verified, which allowed us to predict additional candidate substrates and functions of CK1s. We functionally characterized a newly identified substrate C3H17, a CCCH-type zinc finger transcription factor, through biochemical and genetic analyses, revealing a role for AEL-promoted C3H17 protein stability and transactivation activity in regulating embryogenesis. As CK1s are highly conserved across eukaryotes, we searched the rice, mouse, and human protein databases using newly identified CK1 substrate motifs, yielding many more candidate substrates than currently known, largely expanding our understanding of the common and distinct functions exerted by CK1s in Arabidopsis and humans, facilitating future mechanistic studies of CK1-mediated phosphorylation in different species.

Abstract
Diel regulation of protein levels and protein modification had been less studied than transcript rhythms. Here, we compare transcriptome data under light-dark cycles with partial proteome and phosphoproteome data, assayed using shotgun MS, from the alga Ostreococcus tauri, the smallest free-living eukaryote. A total of 10% of quantified proteins but two-thirds of phosphoproteins were rhythmic. Mathematical modelling showed that light-stimulated protein synthesis can account for the observed clustering of protein peaks in the daytime. Prompted by night-peaking and apparently dark-stable proteins, we also tested cultures under prolonged darkness, where the proteome changed less than under the diel cycle. Among the dark-stable proteins were prasinophyte-specific sequences that were also reported to accumulate when O. tauri formed lipid droplets. In the phosphoproteome, 39% of rhythmic phospho-sites reached peak levels just before dawn. This anticipatory phosphorylation suggests that a clock-regulated phospho-dawn prepares green cells for daytime functions. Acid-directed and proline-directed protein phosphorylation sites were regulated in antiphase, implicating the clock-related casein kinases 1 and 2 in phase-specific regulation, alternating with the CMGC protein kinase family. Understanding the dynamic phosphoprotein network should be facilitated by the minimal kinome and proteome of O. tauri. The data are available from ProteomeXchange, with identifiers PXD001734, PXD001735, and PXD002909.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms coordinate the responses of organisms with their daily fluctuating environments, by establishing a temporal program of gene expression. This schedules aspects of metabolism, physiology, development and behaviour according to the time of day. Circadian regulation in plants is extremely pervasive, and is important because it underpins both productivity and seasonal reproduction. Circadian regulation extends to the control of environmental responses through a regulatory process known as circadian gating. Circadian gating is the process whereby the circadian clock regulates the response to an environmental cue, such that the magnitude of response to an identical cue varies according to the time of day of the cue. Here, we show that there is genome-wide circadian gating of responses to cold temperatures in plants. By using bread wheat as an experimental model, we establish that circadian gating is crucial to the programs of gene expression that underlie the environmental responses of a crop of major socioeconomic importance. Furthermore, we identify that circadian gating of cold temperature responses are distributed unevenly across the three wheat subgenomes, which might reflect the geographical origins of the ancestors of modern wheat.

Abstract
Maintenance of optimal leaf tissue humidity is important for plant productivity and food security. Leaf humidity is influenced by soil and atmospheric water availability, by transpiration and by the coordination of water flux across cell membranes throughout the plant. Flux of water and solutes across plant cell membranes is influenced by the function of aquaporin proteins. Plants have numerous aquaporin proteins required for a multitude of physiological roles in various plant tissues and the membrane flux contribution of each aquaporin can be regulated by changes in protein abundance, gating, localisation, post-translational modifications, protein:protein interactions and aquaporin stoichiometry. Resolving which aquaporins are candidates for influencing leaf humidity and determining how their regulation impacts changes in leaf cell solute flux and leaf cavity humidity is challenging. This challenge involves resolving the dynamics of the cell membrane aquaporin abundance, aquaporin sub-cellular localisation and location-specific post-translational regulation of aquaporins in membranes of leaf cells during plant responses to changes in water availability and determining the influence of cell signalling on aquaporin permeability to a range of relevant solutes, as well as determining aquaporin influence on cell signalling. Here we review recent developments, current challenges and suggest open opportunities for assessing the role of aquaporins in leaf substomatal cavity humidity regulation.

Abstract
Kale is a group of diverse Brassicaceae species that are nutritious leafy greens consumed for their abundance of vitamins and micronutrients. Typified by their curly, serrated and/or wavy leaves, kale varieties have been primarily defined based on their leaf morphology and geographic origin, despite having complex genetic backgrounds. Kale is a very promising crop for vertical farming due to its high nutritional content; however, being a non-model organism, foundational, systems-level analyses of kale are lacking. Previous studies in kale have shown that time-of-day harvesting can affect its nutritional composition. Therefore, to gain a systems-level diel understanding of kale across its wide-ranging and diverse genetic landscape, we selected nine publicly available and commercially grown kale cultivars for growth under near-sunlight LED light conditions ideal for vertical farming. We then analyzed changes in morphology, growth and nutrition using a combination of plant phenotyping, proteomics and metabolomics. As the diel molecular activities of plants drive their daily growth and development, ultimately determining their productivity as a crop, we harvested kale leaf tissue at both end-of-day (ED) and end-of-night (EN) time-points for all molecular analyses. Our results reveal that diel proteome and metabolome signatures divide the selected kale cultivars into two groups defined by their amino acid and sugar content, along with significant proteome differences involving carbon and nitrogen metabolism, mRNA splicing, protein translation and light harvesting. Together, our multi-cultivar, multi-omic analysis provides new insights into the molecular underpinnings of the diel growth and development landscape of kale, advancing our fundamental understanding of this nutritious leafy green super-food for horticulture/vertical farming applications.

Abstract
Ascorbate (vitamin C) is an essential antioxidant in fresh fruits and vegetables. To gain insight into the regulation of ascorbate metabolism in plants, we studied mutant tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) that produce ascorbate-enriched fruits. The causal mutation, identified by a mapping-by-sequencing strategy, corresponded to a knock-out recessive mutation in a class of photoreceptor named PAS/LOV protein (PLP), which acts as a negative regulator of ascorbate biosynthesis. This trait was confirmed by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and further found in all plant organs, including fruit that accumulated 2 to 3 times more ascorbate than in the WT. The functional characterization revealed that PLP interacted with the 2 isoforms of GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase (GGP), known as the controlling step of the L-galactose pathway of ascorbate synthesis. The interaction with GGP occurred in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, but was abolished when PLP was truncated. These results were confirmed by a synthetic approach using an animal cell system, which additionally demonstrated that blue light modulated the PLP-GGP interaction. Assays performed in vitro with heterologously expressed GGP and PLP showed that PLP is a noncompetitive inhibitor of GGP that is inactivated after blue light exposure. This discovery provides a greater understanding of the light-dependent regulation of ascorbate metabolism in plants.

Abstract
Pear is an important fruit tree that is widely distributed around the world. The first pear genome map was reported from our laboratory approximately 10 years ago. To further study global protein expression patterns in pear, we generated pear proteome data based on 24 major tissues. The tissue-resolved profiles provided evidence of the expression of 17 953 proteins. We identified 4294 new coding events and improved the pear genome annotation via the proteogenomic strategy based on 18 090 peptide spectra with peptide spectrum matches >1. Among the eight randomly selected new short coding open reading frames that were expressed in the style, four promoted and one inhibited the growth of pear pollen tubes. Based on gene coexpression module analysis, we explored the key genes associated with important agronomic traits, such as stone cell formation in fruits. The network regulating the synthesis of lignin, a major component of stone cells, was reconstructed, and receptor-like kinases were implicated as core factors in this regulatory network. Moreover, we constructed the online database PearEXP (http://www.peardb.org.cn) to enable access to the pear proteogenomic resources. This study provides a paradigm for in-depth proteogenomic studies of woody plants.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis (LF), commonly associated with chronic liver diseases, is a major public health problem worldwide. Protein phosphorylation is not only an important form of protein modification in organisms but also the most important mechanism to regulate and control the activity and function of proteins, affecting the occurrence and development of many diseases. However, comprehensive phosphoproteomic profiling in LF has not been fully elucidated. In this study, data-independent acquisition (DIA) was used to analyse the phosphoproteomics of mice with LF. A total of 553 phosphopeptides (representing 440 phosphoproteins) had significant phosphorylation levels. Among these phosphoproteins, 49 were upregulated and 401 were downregulated, and 5 phosphoserine (P-Ser) motifs and 2 phosphothreonine (P-Thr) motifs were conserved in LF. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses identified 769 significant GO terms and 49 significant KEGG pathways. Four phosphorylated proteins were selected for parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) verification, and the results were consistent with DIA data. Together, there were significantly different phosphoproteomic profiles in LF, suggesting that protein phosphorylation was related to the occurrence and progression of LF, which could pave the way for further investigation into the related regulatory mechanisms. SIGNIFICANCE: LF is a necessary stage in the development of chronic liver disease to liver cirrhosis and has attracted wide attention. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports on the phosphorylated proteomics of LF. In this study, DIA and PRM techniques were used to study the liver tissue of mice induced by CCl4. The results showed that phosphorylation had a significant effect on the activity and function of proteins, and the PRM results were consistent with the trend observed in DIA analysis. This study will help to better reveal the relationship of phosphorylated proteins in LF and lay a foundation for further study of related regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
L-Asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) activity has been previously reported to fluctuate with the photoperiod in young pea leaves, with higher activity in the light. The present research sought to investigate this phenomenon in developing leaves of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). There are two genes coding for K+-dependent asparaginase in this species. Expression of PvASPG1 predominates over PvASPG2 in all tissues. The catalytic efficiency of recombinant PvASPG2 was approximately 2-fold lower than that of PvASPG1. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against a specific peptide present in PvASPG1 to use in immunoblotting. In developing seed, asparaginase protein levels in the seed coat stayed constant, whereas levels in cotyledon were lower and progressively declined. In young leaf, asparagine protein levels showed diurnal variation, increasing at the end of the dark period and slowly decreasing during the light period. This was paralleled by changes in activity levels in leaf extracts. These changes accompanied a transient increase in free asparagine concentration at the beginning of the light period. The present results demonstrated that K+-dependent asparaginase activity reaches a maximum level at the transition from dark to light, anticipating dawn, in young leaves of common bean.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics provide a powerful tool for plant research, allowing global detection of steady-state levels of proteins under a given experimental setup. Here, we provide an optimized protocol for proteomic profiling using tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to quantitate phosphopeptides and non-phosphopeptides from the same samples. The outlined protocol comprises a series of successive steps, namely, SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) protein extraction, protein precipitation, digestion, TMT labeling, phosphopeptide enrichment, high pH reversed-phase fractionation, LC-MS/MS analysis, protein identification, and data analysis. Our proteome-scale protocol requires 0.1 mg protein per sample and allows for the reliable and accurate quantification of more than 8000 proteins in Arabidopsis plant samples across multiple conditions, including low abundant peptides.

Abstract
Plants are sessile organisms forced to adapt to environmental variations recurring in a day-night cycle. Extensive research has uncovered the transcriptional control of plants' inner clock and has revealed at least some part of the intricate and elaborate regulatory mechanisms that govern plant diel responses and provide adaptation to the ever-changing environment. Here, we analyzed the proteome of the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant genotypes collected in the middle of the day and the middle of the night, including four mutants in the phytochrome (phyA, phyB, phyC, and phyD) and the circadian clock protein LHY. Our approach provided a novel insight into the diel regulations, identifying 640 significant changes in the night-day protein abundance. The comparison with previous studies confirmed that a large portion of identified proteins was a known target of diurnal regulation. However, more than 300 were novel oscillations hidden under standard growth chamber conditions or not manifested in the wild type. Our results indicated a prominent role for ROS metabolism and phytohormone cytokinin in the observed regulations, and the consecutive analyses confirmed that. The cytokinin signaling significantly increased at night, and in the mutants, the hydrogen peroxide content was lower, and the night-day variation seemed to be lost in the phyD genotype. Furthermore, regulations in the lhy and phyB mutants were partially similar to those found in the catalase mutant cat2, indicating shared ROS-mediated signaling pathways. Our data also shed light on the role of the relatively poorly characterized Phytochrome D, pointing to its connection to glutathione metabolism and the regulation of glutathione S-transferases.

Abstract
Plants are able to sense changes in their light environments, such as the onset of day and night, as well as anticipate these changes in order to adapt and survive. Central to this ability is the plant circadian clock, a molecular circuit that precisely orchestrates plant cell processes over the course of a day. REVEILLE (RVE) proteins are recently discovered members of the plant circadian circuitry that activate the evening complex and PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR genes to maintain regular circadian oscillation. The RVE8 protein and its two homologs, RVE 4 and 6 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), have been shown to limit the length of the circadian period, with rve 4 6 8 triple-knockout plants possessing an elongated period along with increased leaf surface area, biomass, cell size, and delayed flowering relative to wild-type Col-0 plants. Here, using a multi-omics approach consisting of phenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics we draw new connections between RVE8-like proteins and a number of core plant cell processes. In particular, we reveal that loss of RVE8-like proteins results in altered carbohydrate, organic acid, and lipid metabolism, including a starch excess phenotype at dawn. We further demonstrate that rve 4 6 8 plants have lower levels of 20S proteasome subunits and possess significantly reduced proteasome activity, potentially explaining the increase in cell-size observed in RVE8-like mutants. Overall, this robust, multi-omic dataset provides substantial insight into the far-reaching impact RVE8-like proteins have on the diel plant cell environment.

Abstract
C4 photosynthesis and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) have been considered as largely independent adaptations despite sharing key biochemical modules. Portulaca is a geographically widespread clade of over 100 annual and perennial angiosperm species that primarily use C4 but facultatively exhibit CAM when drought stressed, a photosynthetic system known as C4 + CAM. It has been hypothesized that C4 + CAM is rare because of pleiotropic constraints, but these have not been deeply explored. We generated a chromosome-level genome assembly of Portulaca amilis and sampled mRNA from P. amilis and Portulaca oleracea during CAM induction. Gene co-expression network analyses identified C4 and CAM gene modules shared and unique to both Portulaca species. A conserved CAM module linked phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase to starch turnover during the day-night transition and was enriched in circadian clock regulatory motifs in the P. amilis genome. Preservation of this co-expression module regardless of water status suggests that Portulaca constitutively operate a weak CAM cycle that is transcriptionally and posttranscriptionally upregulated during drought. C4 and CAM mostly used mutually exclusive genes for primary carbon fixation, and it is likely that nocturnal CAM malate stores are shuttled into diurnal C4 decarboxylation pathways, but we found evidence that metabolite cycling may occur at low levels. C4 likely evolved in Portulaca through co-option of redundant genes and integration of the diurnal portion of CAM. Thus, the ancestral CAM system did not strongly constrain C4 evolution because photosynthetic gene networks are not co-regulated for both daytime and nighttime functions.

Abstract
A cost-effective method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) coupled with stable-isotope dimethyl labelling was used for the determination of Gly m 6. The validation results revealed that the recoveries and precisions obtained from five spiked levels were in the ranges of 88.8-113.0% and 8.3-22.0%, respectively. The content and stability of the major soybean allergen Gly m 6 in various food processing procedures were evaluated by the quantification results of its surrogate signature peptide. The Gly m 6 content in soybean decreased by 42% after natto fermentation, and by 31% and 35% in pasteurised soymilk and sterilised soymilk, respectively, relative to the raw soymilk. Only 19% of Gly m 6 in raw soymilk was retained in the soymilk film. This study extended the feasibility of dimethyl labelling to soy-based food samples and examined the proteolysis of Gly m 6 in natto fermentation and its thermal instability.

Comparative proteomics analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana response to light-emitting diode of narrow wavelength 450 nm, 595 nm, and 650 nm. J Proteomics 2022; 265:104635. [PMID: 35659537 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2022.104635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Incident light is a central modulator of plant growth and development. However, there are still open questions surrounding wavelength-specific plant proteomic responses. Here we applied tandem mass tag based quantitative proteomics technology to acquire an in-depth view of proteome changes in Arabidopsis thaliana response to narrow wavelength blue (B; 450 nm), amber (A; 595 nm), or red (R; 650 nm) light treatments. A total of 16,707 proteins were identified with 9120 proteins quantified across all three light treatments in three biological replicates. This enabled examination of changes in the abundance for proteins with low abundance and important regulatory roles including transcription factors and hormone signaling. Importantly, 18% (1631 proteins) of the A. thaliana proteome is differentially abundant in response to narrow wavelength lights, and changes in proteome correlate well with different morphologies exhibited by plants. To showcase the usefulness of this resource, data were placed in the context of more than thirty published datasets, providing orthogonal validation and further insights into light-specific biological pathways, including Systemic Acquired Resistance and Shade Avoidance Syndrome. This high-resolution resource for A. thaliana provides baseline data and a tool for defining molecular mechanisms that control fundamental aspects of plant response to changing light conditions, with implications in plant development and adaptation. SIGNIFICANCE: Understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in wavelength-specific response of plant is question of widespread interest both to basic researchers and to those interested in applying such knowledge to the engineering of novel proteins, as well as targeted lighting systems. Here we sought to generate a high-resolution labeling proteomic profile of plant leaves, based on exposure to specific narrow-wavelength lights. Although changes in plant physiology in response to light spectral composition is well documented, there is limited knowledge on the roles of specific light wavelengths and their impact. Most previous studies have utilized relatively broad wavebands in their experiments. These multi-wavelengths lights function in a complex signaling network, which provide major challenges in inference of wavelength-specific molecular processes that underly the plant response. Besides, most studies have compared the effect of blue and red wavelengths comparing with FL, as control. As FL light consists the mixed spectra composition of both red and blue as well as numerous other wavelengths, comparing undeniably results in inconsistent and overlapping responses that will hamper effects to elucidate the plant response to specific wavelengths [1, 2]. Monitoring plant proteome response to specific wavelengths and further compare the changes to one another, rather than comparing plants proteome to FL, is thus necessary to gain the clear insights to specific underlying biological pathways and their effect consequences in plant response. Here, we employed narrow wavelength LED lights in our design to eliminate the potential overlap in molecular responses by ensuring non-overlapping wavelengths in the light treatments. We further applied TMT-labeling technology to gain a high-resolution view on the associates of proteome changes. Our proteomics data provides an in-depth coverage suitable for system-wide analyses, providing deep insights on plant physiological processes particularly because of the tremendous increase in the amount of identified proteins which outreach the other biological data.

Dynamic character displacement among a pair of bacterial phyllosphere commensals in situ. Nat Commun 2022; 13:2836.

Abstract
Differences between species promote stable coexistence in a resource-limited environment. These differences can result from interspecies competition leading to character shifts, a process referred to as character displacement. While character displacement is often interpreted as a consequence of genetically fixed trait differences between species, it can also be mediated by phenotypic plasticity in response to the presence of another species. Here, we test whether phenotypic plasticity leads to a shift in proteome allocation during co-occurrence of two bacterial species from the abundant, leaf-colonizing families Sphingomonadaceae and Rhizobiaceae in their natural habitat. Upon mono-colonizing of the phyllosphere, both species exhibit specific and shared protein functions indicating a niche overlap. During co-colonization, quantitative differences in the protein repertoire of both bacterial populations occur as a result of bacterial coexistence in planta. Specifically, the Sphingomonas strain produces enzymes for the metabolization of xylan, while the Rhizobium strain reprograms its metabolism to beta-oxidation of fatty acids fueled via the glyoxylate cycle and adapts its biotin acquisition. We demonstrate the conditional relevance of cross-species facilitation by mutagenesis leading to loss of fitness in competition in planta. Our results show that dynamic character displacement and niche facilitation mediated by phenotypic plasticity can contribute to species coexistence. In this study, the concept of dynamic character displacement among interacting bacterial species from leaf-colonizing families was empirically tested using a proteomics approach. A phenotypic shift towards the utilization of alternative carbon sources was observed during coexistence, thereby minimizing niche overlap.

Abstract
Proteins are intimately involved in executing and controlling virtually all cellular processes. To understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie plant phenotypes, it is essential to investigate protein expression, interactions, and modifications, to name a few. The proteome is highly dynamic in time and space, and a plethora of protein modifications, protein interactions, and network constellations are at play under specific conditions and developmental stages. Analysis of proteomes aims to characterize the entire protein complement of a particular cell type, tissue, or organism-a challenging task, given the dynamic nature of the proteome. Modern mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology can be used to address this complexity at a system-wide scale by the global identification and quantification of thousands of proteins. In this review, we present current methods and technologies employed in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and provide examples of dynamic changes in the plant proteome elucidated by proteomic approaches.

Abstract
Exposure to heat stress during a cow’s dry period disrupts mammary gland remodeling, impairing mammary function and milk production during the subsequent lactation. Yet, proteomic changes in the mammary gland underlying these effects are not yet known. We investigated alterations in the mammary proteome and phosphoproteome during lactation as a result of dry period heat stress using an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based approach. Cows were cooled (CL; n = 12) with fans and water soakers in a free stall setting or were heat stressed through lack of access to cooling devices (HT; n = 12) during the entire dry period (approximately 46 days). All cows were cooled postpartum. Mammary biopsies were harvested from a subset of cows (n = 4 per treatment) at 14, 42, and 84 days in milk. Overall, 251 proteins and 224 phosphorylated proteins were differentially abundant in the lactating mammary gland of HT compared to CL cows. Top functions of differentially abundant proteins and phosphoproteins affected were related to immune function and inflammation, amino acid metabolism, reactive oxygen species production and metabolism, tissue remodeling, and cell stress response. Patterns of protein expression and phosphorylation are indicative of increased oxidative stress, mammary gland restructuring, and immune dysregulation due to prior exposure to dry period heat stress. This study provides insights into the molecular underpinnings of disrupted mammary function and health during lactation arising from prior exposure to dry period heat stress, which might have led to lower milk yields.

Abstract
Plants have a diurnal separation of metabolic fluxes and a need for differential maintenance of protein machinery in the day and night. To directly assess the output of the translation process and to estimate the ATP investment involved, the individual rates of protein synthesis and degradation of hundreds of different proteins need to be measured simultaneously. We quantified protein synthesis and degradation through pulse labelling with heavy hydrogen in Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes to allow such an assessment of ATP investment in leaf proteome homeostasis on a gene-by-gene basis. Light-harvesting complex proteins were synthesised and degraded much faster in the day (approximately 10:1), while carbon metabolism and vesicle trafficking components were translated at similar rates day or night. Few leaf proteins changed in abundance between the day and the night despite reduced protein synthesis rates at night, indicating that protein degradation rates are tightly coordinated. The data reveal how the pausing of photosystem synthesis and degradation at night allows the redirection of a decreased energy budget to a selective night-time maintenance schedule.

Abstract
Diel changes in the environment are perceived by the circadian clock which transmits temporal information throughout the plant cell to synchronize daily and seasonal environmental signals with internal biological processes. Dynamic modulations of diverse levels of clock gene regulation within the plant cell are impacted by stress. Recent insights into circadian control of cellular processes such as alternative splicing, polyadenylation, and noncoding RNAs are discussed. We highlight studies on the circadian regulation of reactive oxygen species, calcium signaling, and gating of temperature stress responses. Finally, we briefly summarize recent work on the translation-specific rhythmicity of cell cycle genes and the control of subcellular localization and relocalization of oscillator components. Together, this mini-review highlights these cellular events in the context of clock gene regulation and stress responses in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Twenty-four-hour, circadian rhythms control many eukaryotic mRNA levels, whereas the levels of their more stable proteins are not expected to reflect the RNA rhythms, emphasizing the need to test the circadian regulation of protein abundance and modification. Here we present circadian proteomic and phosphoproteomic time series from Arabidopsis thaliana plants under constant light conditions, estimating that just 0.4% of quantified proteins but a much larger proportion of quantified phospho-sites were rhythmic. Approximately half of the rhythmic phospho-sites were most phosphorylated at subjective dawn, a pattern we term the “phospho-dawn.” Members of the SnRK/CDPK family of protein kinases are candidate regulators. A CCA1-overexpressing line that disables the clock gene circuit lacked most circadian protein phosphorylation. However, the few phospho-sites that fluctuated despite CCA1-overexpression still tended to peak in abundance close to subjective dawn, suggesting that the canonical clock mechanism is necessary for most but perhaps not all protein phosphorylation rhythms. To test the potential functional relevance of our datasets, we conducted phosphomimetic experiments using the bifunctional enzyme fructose-6-phosphate-2-kinase/phosphatase (F2KP), as an example. The rhythmic phosphorylation of diverse protein targets is controlled by the clock gene circuit, implicating posttranslational mechanisms in the transmission of circadian timing information in plants. Circadian (phospho)proteomics time courses of plants with or without functional clock. Most protein abundance/phosphorylation rhythms require a transcriptional oscillator. The majority of rhythmic phosphosites peak around subjective dawn (“phospho-dawn”). A phosphorylated serine of the metabolic enzyme F2KP has functional relevance.

Abstract
To understand and engineer plant metabolism, we need a comprehensive and accurate annotation of all metabolic information across plant species. As a step towards this goal, we generated genome-scale metabolic pathway databases of 126 algal and plant genomes, ranging from model organisms to crops to medicinal plants (https://plantcyc.org). Of these, 104 have not been reported before. We systematically evaluated the quality of the databases, which revealed that our semi-automated validation pipeline dramatically improves the quality. We then compared the metabolic content across the 126 organisms using multiple correspondence analysis and found that Brassicaceae, Poaceae, and Chlorophyta appeared as metabolically distinct groups. To demonstrate the utility of this resource, we used recently published sorghum transcriptomics data to discover previously unreported trends of metabolism underlying drought tolerance. We also used single-cell transcriptomics data from the Arabidopsis root to infer cell type-specific metabolic pathways. This work shows the quality and quantity of our resource and demonstrates its wide-ranging utility in integrating metabolism with other areas of plant biology.

Abstract
Our modern understanding of diel cell regulation in plants stems from foundational work in the late 1990s that analysed the dynamics of selected genes and mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana. The subsequent rise of transcriptomics technologies such as microarrays and RNA sequencing has substantially increased our understanding of anticipatory (circadian) and reactive (light- or dark-triggered) diel events in plants. However, it is also becoming clear that gene expression data fail to capture critical events in diel regulation that can only be explained by studying protein-level dynamics. Over the past decade, mass spectrometry technologies and quantitative proteomic workflows have significantly advanced, finally allowing scientists to characterise diel protein regulation at high throughput. Initial proteomic investigations suggest that the diel transcriptome and proteome generally lack synchrony and that the timing of daily regulatory events in plants is impacted by multiple levels of protein regulation (e.g., post-translational modifications [PTMs] and protein-protein interactions [PPIs]). Here, we highlight and summarise how the use of quantitative proteomics to elucidate diel plant cell regulation has advanced our understanding of these processes. We argue that this new understanding, coupled with the extraordinary developments in mass spectrometry technologies, demands greater focus on protein-level regulation of, and by, the circadian clock. This includes hitherto unexplored diel dynamics of protein turnover, PTMs, protein subcellular localisation and PPIs that can be masked by simple transcript- and protein-level changes. Finally, we propose new directions for how the latest advancements in quantitative proteomics can be utilised to answer outstanding questions in plant chronobiology.

Abstract
Plants rapidly respond to environmental fluctuations through coordinated, multi-scalar regulation, enabling complex reactions despite their inherently sessile nature. In particular, protein post-translational signaling and protein-protein interactions combine to manipulate cellular responses and regulate plant homeostasis with precise temporal and spatial control. Understanding these proteomic networks are essential to addressing ongoing global crises, including those of food security, rising global temperatures, and the need for renewable materials and fuels. Technological advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics are enabling investigations of unprecedented depth, and are increasingly being optimized for and applied to plant systems. This review highlights recent advances in plant proteomics, with an emphasis on spatially and temporally resolved analysis of post-translational modifications and protein interactions. It also details the necessity for generation of a comprehensive plant cell atlas while highlighting recent accomplishments within the field.

Abstract
Circadian regulation has a pervasive influence upon plant development, physiology and metabolism, impacting upon components of fitness and traits of agricultural importance. Circadian regulation is inextricably connected to the responses of plants to their abiotic environments, from the cellular to whole plant scales. Here, we review the crosstalk that occurs between circadian regulation and responses to the abiotic environment from the intracellular scale through to naturally fluctuating environments. We examine the spatial crosstalk that forms part of plant circadian regulation, at the subcellular, tissue, organ and whole-plant scales. This includes a focus on chloroplast and mitochondrial signalling, alternative splicing, long-distance circadian signalling and circadian regulation within natural environments. We also consider mathematical models for plant circadian regulation, to suggest future areas for advancing understanding of roles for circadian regulation in plant responses to environmental cues.

Abstract
The molecular components of the circadian system possess the interesting feature of acting together to create a self-sustaining oscillator, while at the same time acting individually, and in complexes, to confer phase-specific circadian control over a wide range of physiological and developmental outputs. This means that many circadian oscillator proteins are simultaneously also part of the circadian output pathway. Most studies have focused on transcriptional control of circadian rhythms, but work in plants and metazoans has shown the importance of post-transcriptional and post-translational processes within the circadian system. Here we highlight recent work describing post-translational mechanisms that impact both the function of the oscillator and the clock-controlled outputs.
