Chloroplasts in differentiated bundle sheath (BS) and mesophyll (M) cells of maize (Zea mays) leaves are specialized to accommodate C(4) photosynthesis. This study provides a reconstruction of how metabolic pathways, protein expression, and homeostasis functions are quantitatively distributed across BS and M chloroplasts. This yielded new insights into cellular specialization. The experimental analysis was based on high-accuracy mass spectrometry, protein quantification by spectral counting, and ...[more]

Project description:A number of taxa utilize C4 photosynthesis, to limit the impact of photorespiration upon photosynthetic performance. In order to achieve a local elevation of CO2 concentration, maize plants possess two photosynthetic cell types. Rubisco accumulation is restricted to bundle sheath (BS) cells that surround the leaf veins. Carbon fixation occurs initially in adjacent mesophyll (ME) cells. C4 compounds are transported into the BS cells where they are subsequently decarboxylated, releasing CO2. Although the major components of the C4 pathway have been well characterized, less is known about further metabolic partitioning in the maize leaf. Microarray hybridizations have been performed in order to further investigate metabolic differences between BS and ME cell types. BS strands and ME protoplasts were isolated from the leaves of 10 day old maize seedlings by mechanical disruption and enzymatic digestion respectively. To control for differences arising from these different protocols, total leaf (TO) and total leaf stress (ST) samples were also isolated. The ST sample was subjected to the same treatments as the ME sample, with the omission of cell-wall degrading enzymes. Leaves for the TO sample were harvested as for the BS strand sample. An interwoven loop design was used to compare the four treatment groups. A biological group consisted of a growth of plants from which pooled individuals were taken for the four treatments. Six biological replicates (groups) were used. Labeling was performed using the Genisphere Array 900-MPX kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. Post hybridization washes were performed according to the recommendations of the Maize Oligo Array Project. Scan settings were used for detection of moderate to high expression signals (gain ~ 60%. power 90%). Following hybridization with TO cDNA, ~1/3 of features provided signal above twice background and below saturation.

Project description:During Zea mays (maize) C4 differentiation, mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells accumulate distinct sets of photosynthetic enzymes, with very low photosystem II (PSII) content in BS chloroplasts. Consequently, there is little linear electron transport in the BS and ATP is generated by cyclic electron flow. In contrast, M thylakoids are very similar to those of C3 plants and produce the ATP and NADPH that drive metabolic activities. Regulation of this differentiation process is poorly understood but involves expression and coordination of nuclear and plastid genomes. Here, we identify a recessive allele of the maize Hcf136 homologue that in Arabidopsis thaliana functions as a PSII stability or assembly factor located in the thylakoid lumen. Proteome analysis of the thylakoids and electron microscopy reveal that Zm hcf136 lacks PSII complexes and grana thylakoids in M chloroplasts, consistent with the previously defined Arabidopsis function. Interestingly, hcf136 is also defective in processing the full-length psbB-psbT-psbH-petB-petD polycistron specifically in M chloroplasts. To determine whether the loss of PSII in M cells affects C4 differentiation, we performed cell-type specific transcript analysis of hcf136 and wild-type seedlings. The results indicate that M and BS cells respond uniquely to the loss of PSII, with little overlap in gene expression changes between data sets. These results are discussed in the context of signals that may drive differential gene expression in C4 photosynthesis. To explore the disruption of PSII activity on gene expression, transcript profiles from separated M and BS cells were examined using two-label microarray analysis. Total RNA was isolated from the second leaves of mutant and wild-type silbings. Six biological replicates were used to compare wild-type and mutant transcript profiles in separate M and BS experiments. To maximize biological replication, different seedling pools were used for each of the 12 hybridizations. Microarray experiments and analyses were performed using the Genisphere MPX900 kit and the Maize Array Consortium oligonucleotide platform (GPL5439; GPL5440). Feature intensity values were log-transformed and corrected for local background signal, and a LOWESS procedure (Dudoit et al., 2002) was used to normalize between channels. Features with either low or saturating signal intensity were discarded from further analysis. High expression filtering was less stringent to avoid elimination of previously characterized, high abundance, C4 cell-specific transcripts. After filtering, features that were not assigned an MZ number by the Maize Array Consortium were discarded from further analysis. The moderated t-test (Smyth, 2004) using the R package limma was applied to identify differentially expressed genes. The p-values for each test (gene) were converted to q-values for false discovery rate analysis as described by Storey et al. (2004). To avoid confounding treatment effects associated with direct comparisons of M and BS transcriptomes (Sawers et al., 2007), comparisons were only made using the same cell type across the hcf136 and wild-type sibling genotypes.
