Ectopic expression of a deletion variant of cystathionine gamma-synthase 2 (GmCGS2) in soybean increases expression of genes encoding sulfur amino acid-rich proteins

ABSTRACT: A deletion variant of GmCGS2 was ectopically expressed in soybean with a diverse range of expression levels and patterns. A combination of a soybean ubiquitin promoter and an in-frame deletion in GmCGS2, from K66 to S143, resulted in increased seed Met and Cys contents without incurring a yield penalty in a ten-location field trial. Transgenic events of this construct had increases of 41 to 114%, 10 to 12%, and 4.7 to 7.3% in free Met, total Cys, and total Met, respectively. RNAseq analysis of developing seed revealed increased transcript for three Cys-rich Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) genes, and for two Met-rich 2S albumin genes, with little effect apparent on genes of primary sulfur metabolism. Trypsin-agarose chromatography, protease inhibition assays, and mass spectrometry analysis revealed increased BBI and 2S albumin proteins. The additional BBI protein was determined to be 1.5 to 1.8% of the protein in transgenic seed, sufficient to account for the increased Cys content. The observation that overexpressing an enzyme involved in Met biosynthesis that used Cys as a substrate still increased total Cys more than total Met suggested a lack of native Met-rich soybean proteins capable of incorporating the additional free Met.

Ribosome profiling reveals changes in translational status of soybean transcripts during immature cotyledon development

Project description:To understand translational capacity on a genome-wide scale across three developmental stages of immature soybean seed cotyledons, ribosome profiling was performed in combination with RNA sequencing and cluster analysis. Transcripts representing 216 unique genes demonstrated a higher level of translational activity in at least one stage by exhibiting higher translational efficiencies (TEs) in which there were relatively more ribosome footprint sequence reads mapping to the transcript than were present in the control total RNA sample. The majority of these transcripts were more translationally active at the early stage of seed development and included 12 unique serine or cysteine proteases and 16 2S albumin and low molecular weight cysteine-rich proteins that may serve as substrates for turnover and mobilization early in seed development. It would appear that the serine proteases and 2S albumins play a vital role in the early stages. In contrast, our investigation of profiles of 19 genes encoding high abundance seed storage proteins, such as glycinins, beta-conglycinins, lectin, and Kunitz trypsin inhibitors, showed that they all had similar patterns in which the TE values started at low levels and increased approximately 2 to 6-fold during development. The highest levels of these seed protein transcripts were found at the mid-developmental stage, whereas the highest ribosome footprint levels of only up to 1.6 TE were found at the late developmental stage. These experimental findings suggest that the major seed storage protein coding genes are primarily regulated at the transcriptional level during normal soybean cotyledon development. Finally, our analyses also identified a total of 370 unique gene models that showed very low TE values including over 48 genes encoding ribosomal family proteins and 95 gene models that are related to energy and photosynthetic functions, many of which have homology to the chloroplast genome.

Quantitative proteomic analyses reveal the dynamics of protein and amino acid accumulation in soybean seed from early to late stages of seed filling

Project description:Global analyses of protein profiling during seed development in soybean is paramount to understand the metabolic processes that correspond to the differential protein accumulation and hence seed quality in soybean. Using high throughput tandem mass tag (TMT) based tagging techniques, we identified 4,172 proteins in three stages namely early, mid, and late seed filling. We mapped the identified metabolic pathways associated with seed filling. An elevated level of several kinases was observed from the early to mid-stages of seed filling, indicating that protein phosphorylation was a major event that occurred during this period. The early to late stages of seed filling was characterized by an increased level of proteins associated with the cell wall, oil, and vacuolar-related processes. Twenty-five seed storage protein genes located on 12 different chromosomes were identified. Among the seed storage proteins, 7S (B-subunit) and 11S (Gy3, Gy4, Gy5) exhibited steadily increased abundance from early to late-stage seed development, whereas, 2S albumin exhibited decreased abundance during the same period. An increased abundance of proteases, senescence-associated proteins and, oil synthesis proteins was observed from the mid to late stages of seed filling. The mid to late stages of seed filling were also characterized by a lower abundance of transferases, transporters, Kunitz family trypsin, and protease inhibitors. Two enzymes associated with methionine synthesis exhibited lower abundance from early to late stages. This study unveiled the expression of several key enzymes/proteins associated with amino acid and protein syntheses and their accumulation during seed development which will assist scientists and breeders to develop new value-added soybeans with improved protein quality.

Proteomic analysis of Glycine max seeds during controlled deterioration treatment

Project description:Controlled deterioration treatment (CDT) negatively affects the seed quality and vigor during post-harvest storage. A label-free proteomic approach was utilized to understand the CDT responses in soybean seeds. Soybean seed are rich in seed-storage proteins (SSPs) constituting up to 70 to 80% of the total seed protein content. Due to the presence of these SSPs, it is very difficult to identify and/or characterize the low-abundance regulatory proteins. Availability of appropriate methods for extraction of low-abundance proteins (LAPs) are now providing a platform for the identification of novel proteins involved in the signal perception and transduction during environmental perturbations. To enrich LAPs, the extracted total seed proteins were subjected to protamine sulfate precipitation (PSP) method to deplete SSPs. Fractionated protein fractions thus prepared were analyzed for identification of differential proteins using Label-free quantitative proteomics approaches.

Identification of differentially expressed genes between developing seeds of different soybean cultivars

Project description:Soybean is a rich source of protein and oil and a primary feedstock for biodiesel production. Previous research on soybean indicated that protein, oil and yield are controlled quantitatively in soybean seeds. However, genetic mechanisms controlling seed composition and yield in soybean remain unknown. We used Affymetrix Soybean GeneChips® to identify genes that are differentially expressed between developing seeds of the Minsoy and Archer soybean varieties, which differ in seed weight, yield, protein content and oil content. Some of the differentially expressed genes identified in this study may play important roles in controlling these traits.

Differentially expressed genes between WT and AtC3H17-overexpressing transgenic plants

Project description:We characterized the biological and molecular functions of AtC3H17, a unique Arabidopsis gene encoding a non-tandem CCCH zinc finger protein, in plant development. To investigate the downstream regulatory mechanisms of AtC3H17, whole genome microarray expression profiling was carried out. The experiment was designed to identify differentially expressed genes between WT and AtC3H17-overexpressing transgenic plants (AtC3H17 OXs) grown for 14 days under SD growth conditions. Interestingly, the most up-regulated genes were 12S seed storage globulin genes, CRUCIFERIN A (CRA1) and CRUCIFERIN 3 (CRU3), and seed oil-body protein genes such as OLEOSIN 1 (OLEO1) and OLEO2 in AtC3H17 OXs compared with WT. We performed quantitative RT-PCR and confirmed that transcription levels of CRU3, OLEO1, OLEO2, and 2S seed storage albumin 1 (At2S1) were higher in AtC3H17 OX seedlings than in WT seedlings.

Influences of Bowman-Birk Inhibitor on genomics in Drosophila melanogaster larval midguts

Project description:Bowman-Birk Inhibitor (BBI) has both insecticidal and anti-cancerous properties. It has been hypothesized that dietary BBI slows insect growth by inhibiting the catalytic activity of digestive enzymes trypsins and chyomotrypsins, resulting in the midgut having reduced access to amino acids needed for growth. In mammals, BBI was hypothesized to influence cellular energy metabolism. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that dietary BBI also impacts energy-associated pathways in the midgut of Drosophila melanogaster. We investigated the impact of dietary BBI on the following parameters in the midguts of third-instar Drosophila larvae: (i) cellular metabolites, (ii) global transcriptome response, (iii) putative transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) associated with the differentially expressed transcripts, and (iv) epithelial cellular structure. Dietary BBI caused: (i) a reduction of cellular DHAP, glucose, and succinate; and, (ii) increased Fructuse-6-phosphate; (ii) differential expression of genes associated with the glucose and fatty acid utilization; and, (iii) a shortening of midgut epithelial microvilli, a phenomenon previously associated with glucose starvation. Additionally, fifty seven percent of the putative TFBSs associated with the differentially expressed transcripts have previously been associated with glucose and insulin activities in mammalian studies. Collectively these results support the hypothesis that dietary BBI influences energy utilization in the Drosophila midgut. Experiment Overall Design: Two treatments (control vs BBI-fed), and three replicates were conducted. There were total six samples. There was no dye-swap.

Cysteine and methionine biosynthetic enzymes have distinct effects on seed nutritional quality and on molecular phenotypes associated with accumulation of a methionine-rich seed storage protein in rice.

Project description:Staple crops in human and livestock diets suffer from deficiencies in certain “essential” amino acids including methionine. With the goal of increasing methionine in rice seed, we generated a pair of “PushxPull” double transgenic lines, each containing a methionine-dense seed storage protein (2S albumin from sunflower, HaSSA) and an exogenous enzyme for either methionine (feedback desensitized cystathionine gamma synthase from Arabidopsis, AtD-CGS) or cysteine (serine acetyltransferase from E. coli, EcSAT) biosynthesis. In both double transgenic lines, the total seed methionine content was approximately 50% higher than in their untransformed parental line, Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv. Taipei 309. HaSSA-containing rice seeds were reported to display an altered seed protein profile, speculatively due to insufficient sulfur amino acid content. However, here we present data suggesting that this may result from an overloaded protein folding machinery in the endoplasmic reticulum rather than primarily from redistribution of limited methionine from endogenous seed proteins to HaSSA. We hypothesize that HaSSA-associated endoplasmic reticulum stress results in redox perturbations that negatively impact sulfate reduction to cysteine, and we speculate that this is mitigated by EcSAT-associated increased sulfur import into the seed, which facilitates additional synthesis of cysteine and glutathione. The data presented here reveal challenges associated with increasing the methionine content in rice seed, including what may be relatively low protein folding capacity in the endoplasmic reticulum and an insufficient pool of sulfate available for additional cysteine and methionine synthesis. We propose that future approaches to further improve the methionine content in rice should focus on increasing seed sulfur loading and avoiding the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum.

MoCBP3, an Antifungal Chitin-Binding Protein from Moringa oleifera Seeds, is a Member of the 2S Albumin Family

Project description:MoCBP3 is a chitin-binding protein from M. oleifera seeds that inhibits the germination and mycelial growth of phytopathogenic fungi. This protein is highly thermostable and resistant to pH changes, and therefore may be useful in the development of new antifungal drugs. However, the relationship of MoCBP3 with the known families of carbohydrate-binding domains has not been established. In the present study, full-length cDNAs encoding 4 isoforms of MoCBP3 (MoCBP3-1, MoCBP3-2, MoCBP3-3 and MoCBP3-4) were cloned from developing seeds. The polypeptides encoded by the MoCBP3 cDNAs were predicted to contain 160 (MoCBP3-3) and 163 amino acid residues (MoCBP3-1, MoCBP3-2 and MoCBP3-4) with a signal peptide of 20-residues at the N-terminal region. A comparative analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that MoCBP3 is a typical member of the 2S albumin family, as shown by the presence of an eight-cysteine motif, which is a characteristic feature of the prolamin superfamily. Furthermore, mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that MoCBP3 is a mixture of isoforms that correspond to different mRNA products. The identification of MoCBP3 as a genuine member of the 2S albumin family reinforces the hypothesis that these seed storage proteins are involved in plant defense. Moreover, the chitin-binding ability of MoCBP3 reveals a novel functionality for a typical 2S albumin.
