Transcription profiling of developing wild type pea seeds and those expressing anti-ABA antibodies

ABSTRACT: ABA regulates in plants a wide range of developmental events, mediates responses to environmental stress and is necessary to proceed through seed maturation and to acquire desiccation tolerance and dormancy. Immuno-modulation is a suitable means to study ABA functions during seed maturation. Anti-ABA single chain antibody was expressed in pea seed driving LeB4-promoter (Saalbach et al., High-level expression of a single chain Fv fragment (scFv) antibody in transgenic pea seeds J. Plant Physiol. 2001 158: 529-533), which produced only a weak phenotype with slightly decreased seed weight, globulin/albumin and total nitrogen content (aABA line 16 cultivar Erbi). In another approach with a stronger, improved USP-promoter used to express the anti-ABA antibody in pea seeds a different phenotype emerged (aABA line 7, cultivar Eifel). In this line individual seed weight increased by 20 to 30% together with higher globulin and albumin content. To dissect the aABA phenotype at the molecular level, a search for genes with differential expression patterns in transgenic plant versus wild type seeds has been performed using 6k-oligo microarray analysis. cDNA probes were prepared from RNA isolated from embryo of developing seeds of wild type (12, 18, and 22 DAP) and transgenic aABA plants (12, 18, and 22 DAP), which correspond to the transition phase of seed development, and 6k-oligo microarray.

Project description:Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is one of the major food sources for humans and forage source for animal livestock. Barley endosperm is structured into three distinct cell layers: the starchy endosperm, which acts essentially as storage tissue for starch, the subaleurone, which is characterized by a high accumulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived seed storage proteins (SSP) and finally the aleurone beside the seed coat with a prominent role during seed germination. Prolamins account for more than 50% of the total protein amount in mature seeds. Together with other seed storage proteins (SSPs) they are important for both grain quality and flour quality. Prolamins are synthesized on the rough ER, translocated into the ER lumen and accumulate in distinct, ER-derived protein bodies (PBs) that are most abundant in the SE. PB formation is regulated by the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) that is involved in the disulfide transfer pathway. Here, we used laser microdisection (LMD) to characterize spatio-temporal molecular and morphological differences of the ER during barley endosperm development. We revealed by nanoLC-MS/MS proteomic analyses performed on whole seeds and collected tissues at different seed development stages that the protein level of the protein disulfide isomerase HvPDIL1-1 is spatio-temporally regulated in developing barley endosperm. Our microscopic studies showed that HvPDIL1-1 preferentially accumulates in SE, especially at 12 days after pollination (dap). HvPDIL1-1 re-localized from PBs to the protein matrix at the periphery of starch granules along grain filling process. Detailed analysis of SE proteome dynamics identified clusters of proteins with similar expression pattern as HvPDIL1-1, which were analysed in a protein-protein network. It revealed a strong functional interconnection between transcription and translation, protein folding and amino acid synthesis with sucrose and starch metabolism. Our data indicate a role of HvPDIL1-1 in the coordination of protein synthesis and prolamins deposition during grain filling processes in developing barley endosperm. These results are discussed in relation to the putative role of HvPDIL1-1 for cereal food end-product quality and recombinant protein production in cereal seeds.

Project description:The investigation contains two sets of experiment. Set I. Transcriptional profiling of salt treated WT A. thaliana (WS ecotype) (100mM NaCl WT/0mM NaCl WT): Set II. Transcriptional profiling of salt treated ABR17- A. thaliana lines (100mM NaCl ABR17/0mM NaCl ABR17). Tissue for microarray analysis was obtained by placing surface sterilized seeds of A. thaliana (line 6.9) and the WT on half strength Murashige & Skoog (MS)(Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium (1.5% sucrose, 0.8% agar with pH 5.7) medium in Petri dishes with or without 100mM NaCl at RT (21 ± 2 °C) after surface sterilization. The seeds were surface sterilized by rinsing with 70% ethanol for one minute, incubation in 20% bleach for 15 min and subsequent washes (four times for 5min each) to remove the bleach. MS plates with the seeds were placed at RT (21 ± 2 °C) under continuous fluorescent light 30 ?mol m-2 s-1 for 14 days. Seedlings (14 day-old) from three independently grown biological replicates in two set of experiments were removed from the MS plates, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at 80 °C until used for RNA extraction. Technical protocols for preparing the hybridization extract: 1. RNA was isolated using the QIAGEN RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen Inc., Mississauga, ON, Canada) from two-week-old WT (grown on 0 and 100mMNaCl) and ABR17 (grown on 0 and 100mMNaCl) seedling tissue grown at three independent times (biological replicates). The integrity of all RNA samples assessed by agarose gel (1.2 percent) electrophoresis. 2. 6 ?g (Six micrograms) of total RNA was used to synthesize cDNAs using SuperScript® II RT (Invitrogen Inc., Burlington, ON, Canada) with RT polyA-capture primers in 3D Array 900TM (Genisphere Inc., Hatfield, PA, USA). Each pair of treated (100mM NaCl) and untreated (0mM NaCl) samples within each of the three biological replicates from two sets of experiments (100mM NaCl WT/0mM NaCl WT ; 100mM NaCl ABR17/0mM NaCl ABR17) was labelled in a reciprocal dye-swap design, for a total of 12 hybridizations. Note: In the transgenic plant production, the pea cDNA encoding for ABR17 was constitutively expressed under the control of Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter.
