Proteome Analysis of Watery Saliva Secreted by Green Rice Leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps.

ABSTRACT: The green rice leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps, is a vascular bundle feeder that discharges watery and gelling saliva during the feeding process. To understand the potential functions of saliva for successful and safe feeding on host plants, we analyzed the complexity of proteinaceous components in the watery saliva of N. cincticeps. Salivary proteins were collected from a sucrose diet that adult leafhoppers had fed on through a membrane of stretched parafilm. Protein concentrates were separated using SDS-PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions. Six proteins were identified by a gas-phase protein sequencer and two proteins were identified using LC-MS/MS analysis with reference to expressed sequence tag (EST) databases of this species. Full -length cDNAs encoding these major proteins were obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends-PCR (RACE-PCR) and degenerate PCR. Furthermore, gel-free proteome analysis that was performed to cover the broad range of salivary proteins with reference to the latest RNA-sequencing data from the salivary gland of N. cincticeps, yielded 63 additional protein species. Out of 71 novel proteins identified from the watery saliva, about 60 % of those were enzymes or other functional proteins, including GH5 cellulase, transferrin, carbonic anhydrases, aminopeptidase, regucalcin, and apolipoprotein. The remaining proteins appeared to be unique and species- specific. This is the first study to identify and characterize the proteins in watery saliva of Auchenorrhyncha species, especially sheath-producing, vascular bundle-feeders.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to investigate NGS-derived rice leaf transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) exposed to green rice leafhopper (GRH) and validated RNA-Seq results using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR). Methods: Rice leaf mRNA profiles of 21-day-old wild-type (WT) and Near Isogenic Line (NIL) rice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina’s HiSeq™ 4000 Sequencing System. For assembled genes, longest contigs of the assembled contigs were filtered and clustered into the non-redundant transcripts using CD-HIT-EST (Li et al., 2001; Bolger et al., 2014). qRT–PCR validation was performed using ROX and SYBR Green assays. Results: RNA-Seq results revealed that an average of 1,766,347 (1,240,317 in control and 526,030 GRH treated plants) and 3,676,765 (2,986,748 control and 690,017 GRH) counts per million mapped (CPM) reads were generated from Ilpum and NIL GRH treated plants, respectively. After alignment, more than 75% of all reads were successfully mapped to the reference genome, and 8,859 genes and 15,815,400 transcripts were obtained. GRH infestation caused differential expression of 4265 up-regulated and 4,594 down-regulated genes in Ilpum, while in NIL, 4,479 and 4,380 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively 48 h post-infestation. A total of 3,424 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, 1,605 up-regulated in Ilpum and down-regulated in NIL; 1,819 genes up-regulated in NIL and down-regulated in Ilpum) were identified. Interestingly, these DEGs were found to be involved in key physiological processes, with interesting molecular functions, including plant defense against diverse biotic stresses, hormone signaling, and other developmental processes. Based on the quantile normalization of the Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads (FPKM) values followed by student’s t-test (p <0.05) we identified 3,283 DEGs in Ilpum (1,935 upregulated and 1,348 downregulated) and 2,599 DEGs in NIL (1,621 up-regulated and 978 down-regulated) with at least log2 (logarithm base 2) 2-fold change (Log2FC) in expression upon GRH infestation. Conclusions: The current study has provided the first RNA-Seq dataset and comparative transcriptome profile of GRH responsive genes from Ilpum (GRH-susceptible rice cultivar) and a near isogenic line (NIL) carrying Grh1 gene introduced from Shingwang into Ilpum to investigate the possible transcriptional interaction with other defense related genes. In addition, RNA-Seq data and MapMan analysis revealed the activation of multiple regulatory pathways following GRH infestation. Furthermore, the observed differential transcriptome profile between Ilpum and NIL would suggest the existence of a possible interaction network between Grh1 and other defense related genes towards GRH resistance in rice.
