Chen Y, Shan L, Zheng W, Chen J, Deng L, Tian X, Xie R, Yang Y, Zhang L, Yang B. Global lysine succinylation analysis unveils post-translational regulation effect on phenylpropanoid metabolism remodeling during Lonicera japonica flower development. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 215:108978. [PMID: 39084169 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Lonicera japonica plays a significant role in traditional Chinese medicine and as a food source, making it a focus of studies on protein succinylation and its potential role in regulating secondary metabolism during flower development. This study aimed to clarify the regulatory mechanism of protein succinylation on phenylpropanoid-related phenotypic changes by conducting a global lysine succinylation proteomic analysis across different flowering stages. A total of 586 lysine succinylated peptides in 303 proteins were identified during early and late floral stages. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that succinylated proteins primarily participated in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, amino acid metabolism, and secondary metabolism. The abundance of succinylated aspartate transaminase (AT), 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL), and phenylalanine N-hydroxylase (CYP79A2) in phenylpropanoid metabolism varied during flower development. In vitro experiments demonstrated that succinylation increased AT activity while inhibited 4CL activity. Decreased levels of total flavonoids and phenolic acids indicated significant alterations in phenylpropanoid metabolism during later floral stages. These results suggest that succinylation of TCA cycle proteins not only influences flower development but also, together with AT-4CL-CYP79A2 co-succinylation, redirects phenylpropanoid metabolism during flower development in L. japonica.

Multi-Omics Research Accelerates the Clarification of the Formation Mechanism and the Influence of Leaf Color Variation in Tea ( Camellia sinensis) Plants. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:426. [PMID: 38337959 PMCID: PMC10857240 DOI: 10.3390/plants13030426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Tea is a popular beverage with characteristic functional and flavor qualities, known to be rich in bioactive metabolites such as tea polyphenols and theanine. Recently, tea varieties with variations in leaf color have been widely used in agriculture production due to their potential advantages in terms of tea quality. Numerous studies have used genome, transcriptome, metabolome, proteome, and lipidome methods to uncover the causes of leaf color variations and investigate their impacts on the accumulation of crucial bioactive metabolites in tea plants. Through a comprehensive review of various omics investigations, we note that decreased expression levels of critical genes in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and carotenoids, activated chlorophyll degradation, and an impaired photosynthetic chain function are related to the chlorina phenotype in tea plants. For purple-leaf tea, increased expression levels of late biosynthetic genes in the flavonoid synthesis pathway and anthocyanin transport genes are the major and common causes of purple coloration. We have also summarized the influence of leaf color variation on amino acid, polyphenol, and lipid contents and put forward possible causes of these metabolic changes. Finally, this review further proposes the research demands in this field in the future.
