Lysine crotonylation of DgTIL1 at K72 modulates cold tolerance by enhancing DgnsLTP stability in chrysanthemum.

ABSTRACT: Lysine crotonylation of proteins is a recently identified post-translational modification (PTM) in plants. However, the function of lysine-crotonylated proteins in response to abiotic stress in plants has not been reported. In this study, we identified a temperature-induced lipocalin-1-like gene (DgTIL1) from chrysanthemum and showed that it was notably induced in response to cold stress. Overexpression of DgTIL1 enhanced cold tolerance in transgenic chrysanthemum. Ubiquitin membrane yeast two-hybrid (MYTH) system and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BIFC) assays showed that DgTIL1 interacts with a nonspecific lipid transfer protein (DgnsLTP), which can promote peroxidase (POD) gene expression and POD activity to reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improve resistance to cold stress in DgnsLTP transgenic chrysanthemum. In addition, we found that DgTIL1 was lysine crotonylated at K72 in response to low temperature in chrysanthemum. Moreover, lysine crotonylation of DgTIL1 prevented DgnsLTP protein degradation in tobacco and chrysanthemum. Inhibition of DgnsLTP degradation by lysine crotonylation of DgTIL1 further enhanced POD expression and POD activity, reduced the accumulation of ROS under cold stress in DgTIL1 transgenic chrysanthemum, thus promoting the cold resistance of chrysanthemum.

Project description:The cold acclimation process is regulated by many factors like ambient temperature, day length, light intensity, or hormonal status. Experiments with plants grown under different light-quality conditions indicate that the plant response to cold is also a light-quality-dependent process. Here, the role of light quality in the cold response was studied in one-month-old Arabidopsis thaliana (Col‐0) plants exposed for one week to 4 °C at short‐day conditions under white (100 and 20 μmol m‐2s‐1), blue or red (20 μmol m‐2s‐1) light conditions. An upregulated expression of CBF1, an inhibition of photosynthesis, and an increase in membrane damage showed that blue light enhanced the effect of low temperature. Interestingly, cold-treated plants under blue and red light showed only limited freezing tolerance compared to white light cold-treated plants. Next, the specificity of the light quality signal in cold response was evaluated in Arabidopsis accessions originating from different and contrasting latitudes. In all but one Arabidopsis accessions, blue light increased the effect of cold on photosynthetic parameters and electrolyte leakage. This effect was not found for Ws-0, which lacks functional CRY2 protein, indicating its role in the cold response. Proteomics data confirmed significant differences between red and blue light treated plants at low temperature and showed that the cold response is highly accession specific. In general, blue light increased mainly the cold-stress related proteins and red light induced higher expression of chloroplast-related proteins, which correlated with higher photosynthetic parameters in red light cold-treated plants. Altogether, our data suggest that light modulates two distinct mechanisms during the cold treatment - red light driven cell function maintaining program and blue light activated specific cold response. The importance of mutual complementarity of these mechanisms was demonstrated by significantly higher freezing tolerance of cold-treated plants under white light.
