Intracellular trafficking and glycosylation of hydroxyproline-O-glycosylation module in tobacco BY-2 cells is dependent on medium composition and transcriptome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Expression of recombinant proteins in plant cells with a "designer" hydroxyproline (Hyp)-O-glycosylated peptide (HypGP), such as tandem repeats of a "Ser-Pro" motif, has been shown to boost the secreted protein yields. However, dramatic secretion and Hyp-O-glycosylation of HypGP-tagged proteins can only be achieved when the plant cells were grown in nitrogen-deficient SH medium. Only trace amounts of secreted fusion protein were detected in MS medium. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the possible mechanism underlying these results by examining the intracellular trafficking and Hyp-O-glycosylation of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fused with a (SP)₃₂ tag, consisting of 32 repeats of a "Ser-Pro" motif, in tobacco BY-2 cells. When cells were grown in MS medium, the (SP)₃₂-EGFP formed protein body-like aggregate and was retained in the ER, without undergoing Hyp-O-glycosylation. In contrast, the fusion protein becomes fully Hyp-O-glycosylated, and then secreted in SH medium. Transcriptome analysis of the BY-2 cells grown in SH medium vs. MS medium revealed over 16,000 DEGs, with many upregulated DEGs associated with the microtubule-based movement, movement of subcellular component, and microtubule binding. These DEGs are presumably responsible for the enhanced ER-Golgi transport of HypGP-tagged proteins, enabling their glycosylation and secretion in SH medium.

Project description:Intracellular bodies such as nucleoli, Cajal bodies and various signalling assemblies represent membraneless organelles, or condensates, that form via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)1,2. Biomolecular interactions-particularly homotypic interactions mediated by self-associating intrinsically disordered protein regions-are thought to underlie the thermodynamic driving forces for LLPS, forming condensates that can facilitate the assembly and processing of biochemically active complexes, such as ribosomal subunits within the nucleolus. Simplified model systems3-6 have led to the concept that a single fixed saturation concentration is a defining feature of endogenous LLPS7-9, and has been suggested as a mechanism for intracellular concentration buffering2,7,8,10. However, the assumption of a fixed saturation concentration remains largely untested within living cells, in which the richly multicomponent nature of condensates could complicate this simple picture. Here we show that heterotypic multicomponent interactions dominate endogenous LLPS, and give rise to nucleoli and other condensates that do not exhibit a fixed saturation concentration. As the concentration of individual components is varied, their partition coefficients change in a manner that can be used to determine the thermodynamic free energies that underlie LLPS. We find that heterotypic interactions among protein and RNA components stabilize various archetypal intracellular condensates-including the nucleolus, Cajal bodies, stress granules and P-bodies-implying that the composition of condensates is finely tuned by the thermodynamics of the underlying biomolecular interaction network. In the context of RNA-processing condensates such as the nucleolus, this manifests in the selective exclusion of fully assembled ribonucleoprotein complexes, providing a thermodynamic basis for vectorial ribosomal RNA flux out of the nucleolus. This methodology is conceptually straightforward and readily implemented, and can be broadly used to extract thermodynamic parameters from microscopy images. These approaches pave the way for a deeper understanding of the thermodynamics of multicomponent intracellular phase behaviour and its interplay with the nonequilibrium activity that is characteristic of endogenous condensates.
