[PMID: 38463560 PMCID: PMC10920289 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1365995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Remorins (REMs) are plant-specific membrane-associated proteins that play important roles in plant-pathogen interactions and environmental adaptations. Group I REMs are extensively involved in virus infection. However, little is known about the REM gene family in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hyrid), the most important sugar and energy crop around world. Methods Comparative genomics were employed to analyze the REM gene family in Saccharum spontaneum. Transcriptomics or RT-qPCR were used to analyze their expression files in different development stages or tissues under different treatments. Yeast two hybrid, bimolecular fluorescence complementation and co-immunoprecipitation assays were applied to investigate the protein interaction. Results In this study, 65 REMs were identified from Saccharum spontaneum genome and classified into six groups based on phylogenetic tree analysis. These REMs contain multiple cis-elements associated with growth, development, hormone and stress response. Expression profiling revealed that among different SsREMs with variable expression levels in different developmental stages or different tissues. A pair of alleles, ScREM1.5e-1/-2, were isolated from the sugarcane cultivar ROC22. ScREM1.5e-1/-2 were highly expressed in leaves, with the former expressed at significantly higher levels than the latter. Their expression was induced by treatment with H2O2, ABA, ethylene, brassinosteroid, SA or MeJA, and varied upon Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) infection. ScREM1.5e-1 was localized to the plasma membrane (PM), while ScREM1.5e-2 was localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus. ScREM1.5e-1/-2 can self-interact and interact with each other, and interact with VPgs from SCMV, Sorghum mosaic virus, or Sugarcane streak mosaic virus. The interactions with VPgs relocated ScREM1.5e-1 from the PM to the cytoplasm. Discussion These results reveal the origin, distribution and evolution of the REM gene family in sugarcane and may shed light on engineering sugarcane resistance against sugarcane mosaic pathogens.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 194:715-731. [PMID: 37930811 DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiad567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), one of the main pathogens causing sugarcane mosaic disease, is widespread in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) planting areas and causes heavy yield losses. RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG (RBOH) NADPH oxidases and plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) have been associated with the response to SCMV infection. However, the underlying mechanism is barely known. In the present study, we demonstrated that SCMV infection upregulates the expression of ScRBOHs and the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which inhibits SCMV replication. All eight sugarcane PIPs (ScPIPs) interacted with SCMV-encoded protein 6K2, whereby two PIP2s (ScPIP2;1 and ScPIP2;4) were verified as capable of H2O2 transport. Furthermore, we revealed that SCMV-6K2 interacts with ScPIP2;4 via transmembrane domain 5 to interfere with the oligomerization of ScPIP2;4, subsequently impairing ScPIP2;4 transport of H2O2. This study highlights a mechanism adopted by SCMV to employ 6K2 to counteract the host resistance mediated by H2O2 to facilitate virus infection and provides potential molecular targets for engineering sugarcane resistance against SCMV.

Abstract
In plants, lysine acetylation (Kac), 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib), and lysine lactylation (Kla), the three new types of post-translational modification (PTM), play very important roles in growth, development, and resistance to adverse environmental stresses. Herein, we report the first global acetylome, 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome, and lactylome in sugarcane. A total of 8573 Kac, 4637 Khib, and 215 Kla sites across 3903, 1507, and 139 modified proteins were identified. Besides, homology analyses revealed the Kac, Khib, and Kla sites on histones were conserved between sugarcane and rice or poplar. Functional annotations demonstrated that the Kac, Khib, and Kla proteins were mainly involved in energy metabolism. In addition, a number of modified transcription factors and stress-related proteins, which were constitutively expressed in different tissues of sugarcane and induced by drought, cold or Sporisorium scitamineum stress, were identified. Finally, a proposed working mode on how PTM functions in sugarcane was depicted. We thus concluded that PTM should play a role in sugarcane growth, development, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses, but the mechanisms require further investigation. The present study provided the all-new comprehensive profile of proteins Kac, Khib, and Kla and a new perspective to understand the molecular mechanisms of protein PTMs in sugarcane.

Soybean Mosaic Virus 6K1 Interactors Screening and GmPR4 and GmBI1 Function Characterization. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065304. [PMID: 36982379 PMCID: PMC10049162 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Host proteins are essential during virus infection, and viral factors must target numerous host factors to complete their infectious cycle. The mature 6K1 protein of potyviruses is required for viral replication in plants. However, the interaction between 6K1 and host factors is poorly understood. The present study aims to identify the host interacting proteins of 6K1. Here, the 6K1 of Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) was used as the bait to screen a soybean cDNA library to gain insights about the interaction between 6K1 and host proteins. One hundred and twenty-seven 6K1 interactors were preliminarily identified, and they were classified into six groups, including defense-related, transport-related, metabolism-related, DNA binding, unknown, and membrane-related proteins. Then, thirty-nine proteins were cloned and merged into a prey vector to verify the interaction with 6K1, and thirty-three of these proteins were confirmed to interact with 6K1 by yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay. Of the thirty-three proteins, soybean pathogenesis-related protein 4 (GmPR4) and Bax inhibitor 1 (GmBI1) were chosen for further study. Their interactions with 6K1 were also confirmed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay. Subcellular localization showed that GmPR4 was localized to the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and GmBI1 was located in the ER. Moreover, both GmPR4 and GmBI1 were induced by SMV infection, ethylene and ER stress. The transient overexpression of GmPR4 and GmBI1 reduced SMV accumulation in tobacco, suggesting their involvement in the resistance to SMV. These results would contribute to exploring the mode of action of 6K1 in viral replication and improve our knowledge of the role of PR4 and BI1 in SMV response.

Selective Interaction of Sugarcane eIF4E with VPgs from Sugarcane Mosaic Pathogens. Viruses 2021; 13:v13030518.

Abstract
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays a key role in the infection of potyviruses in susceptible plants by interacting with viral genome-linked protein (VPg). Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) production is threatened by mosaic disease caused by Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV), and Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV). In this study, two eIF4Es and their isoform eIF(iso)4E and 4E-binding protein coding genes were cloned from sugarcane cultivar ROC22 and designated SceIF4Ea, SceIF4Eb, SceIF(iso)4E, and ScnCBP, respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed different expression profiles of these four genes upon SCMV challenge. A subcellular localization assay showed that SceIF4Ea, SceIF4Eb, SceIF(iso)4E, and ScnCBP were distributed in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays showed that SceIF4Ea/b and SceIF(iso)4E were selectively employed by different sugarcane mosaic pathogens, i.e., SCMV-VPg interacted with SceIF4Ea/b and SceIF(iso)4E, SrMV-VPg interacted with both SceIF4Eb and SceIF(iso)4E, and SCSMV-VPg interacted only with SceIF(iso)4E. Intriguingly, the BiFC assays, but not the Y2H assays, showed that ScnCBP interacted with the VPgs of SCMV, SrMV, and SCSMV. Competitive interaction assays showed that SCMV-VPg, SrMV-VPg, and SCMV-VPg did not compete with each other to interact with SceIF(iso)4E, and SceIF(iso)4E competed with SceIF4Eb to interact with SrMV-VPg but not SCMV-VPg. This study sheds light on the molecular mechanism of sugarcane mosaic pathogen infection of sugarcane plants and benefits sugarcane breeding against the sugarcane mosaic disease.
