The circadian clock of Populus affects physiological, transcriptional and metabolomic responses to osmotic and ionic components of salt stress

ABSTRACT:

The circadian oscillator is an innate timing mechanism present in most organisms, including plants. In this study, Populus tremula × P. tremuloides (Populus) trees with reduced expression of circadian clock components were exposed to gradually increases in the osmotic and ionic components of salt stress. Reduced levels of the morning components PttLATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 1 and 2 (PttLHY1,2) or of the evening components PttPSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 7a and b (PttPRR7a,b) and PttGIGANTEA1,2 (PttGI1,2) affected growth adaptation under stress conditions. PttLHY1,2 regulated growth under NaCl treatment via the control of PttCyclin D3 expression. PttPRR7a,b and PttGI1,2 were instrumental in maintaining growth in roots by enabling effective adaptation of the metabolome. Major changes in the root metabolome under prolonged stress included alterations in carbohydrate, amino acids, and fatty acids. This study places the circadian clock at the centre of adaptation to adverse conditions in trees and will help the development of stress-resistant trees.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations in metabolism and physiology and are generated by the circadian clock. In fruit fly Drosophila, the circadian clock is generated by a transcription-translation feedback loop in which the positive arm components Clock and Cycle activate the expression of the Period and Timeless genes of negative arm, as well as other circadian clock-regulated genes. After being retained in the cytoplasm, the Period and Timeless proteins then migrate to the nucleus to inhibit the Clock/Cycle transactivity by protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The endogenous circadian clock is synchronized with the geological (solar) clock via photoreceptors. Drosophila Cryptochrome protein functions as a circadian photoreceptor. In the early morning, exposure of Cryptochrome to light causes a conformational change in it which results in the formation of new PPIs. Light-activated Cryptochrome interacts with the core clock protein Timeless and the E3 ubiquitin ligase-substrate adaptor protein Jetlag, which results in the ubiquitylation of Timeless by Jetlag-E3 ligase complex and then degradation of Timeless within minutes by proteasome system. Rapid degradation of Timeless and then its partner protein Period, because of its instability in the absence of Timeless, relieves the inhibition on the Clock/Cycle transcription factors suddenly. Therefore, Clock/Cycle-driven expression of circadian clock-regulated genes are induced again, which is the restart of the circadian oscillation or the resetting of the clock. Following Timeless degradation, Cryptochrome is also degraded so the photoreceptor mechanism does not start a new resetting signal until all the required factors are re-synthesized in a circadian manner. Light-dependent degradation of Drosophila Cryptochrome can be observed in Drosophila S2 cell line in culture. In this project, we aimed at finding the interactome of Cryptochrome protein in Drosophila S2 cell line under light and in the dark using proximity labeling method. Because of the fast kinetics of Cryptochrome degradation, we chose the enzymes that can saturate in less than one hour. TurboID (TID) and APEX2 enzymes label proteins with biotin in the proximity even though they work with different mechanisms. They were fused to Cryptochrome protein, and proximity labeling was performed in the dark or under light. We have identified novel light-dependent or -independent interactors of Drosophila Cryptochrome and confirmed some of them using classical coimmunoprecipitation technique.
