The membrane proteome of Medicago truncatula roots displays qualitative and quantitative changes in response to arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

ABSTRACT: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis that associates roots of most land plants with soilborne fungi (Glomeromycota), is characterized by reciprocal nutritional benefits. Fungal colonization of plant roots induces massive changes in cortical cells where the fungus differentiates an arbuscule, which drives proliferation of the plasma membrane, and the de novo synthesis of the periarbuscular membrane. Despite the recognized importance of membrane proteins in sustaining AM symbiosis, the root microsomal proteome elicited upon mycorrhiza still remains to be explored. In this study, we first examined the qualitative composition of the root membrane proteome of Medicago truncatula after microsome enrichment and subsequent in depth analysis by GeLC-MS/MS. The results obtained highlighted the identification of 1226 root membrane protein candidates whose cellular and functional classifications predispose plastids and protein synthesis as prevalent organelle and function, respectively. Changes at the protein abundance level between the membrane proteomes of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots were further monitored by spectral counting, which retrieved a total of 97 proteins that displayed a differential accumulation upon AM symbiosis. Besides the canonical markers of the periarbuscular membrane, new candidates supporting the importance of membrane trafficking events during mycorrhiza establishment/functioning were identified, including flotillin-like proteins.

Project description:Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi contribute to plant nutrient uptake in systems managed with reduced fertilizer inputs such as organic agriculture and natural ecosystems by extending the effective size of the rhizosphere and delivering mineral. Connecting the molecular study of the AM symbiosis with agriculturally- and ecologically-relevant field environments remains a challenge and is a largely unexplored research topic. This study utilized a cross-disciplinary approach to examine the transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) AM roots to a localized patch of nitrogen (N). A wild-type mycorrhizal tomato and a closely-related nonmycorrhizal mutant were grown at an organic farm in soil that contained an active AM extraradical hyphal network and soil microbe community. The majority of genes regulated by upon enrichment of nitrogen were similarly expressed in mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots, suggesting that the primary response to an enriched N patch is mediated by mycorrhiza-independent root processes. However where inorganic N concentrations in the soil were low, differential regulation of key tomato N transport and assimilation genes indicate a transcriptome shift towards mycorrhiza-mediated N uptake over direct root supplied N. Furthermore, two novel mycorrhizal-specific tomato ammonium transporters were also found to be regulated under low N conditions. A conceptual model is presented integrating the transcriptome response to low N and highlighting the mycorrhizal-specific ammonium transporters. These results enhance our understanding of the role of the AM symbiosis in sensing and response to an enriched N patch, and demonstrate that transcriptome analyses of complex plant-microbe-soil interactions provide a global snapshot of biological processes relevant to soil processes in organic agriculture. 30 samples were analyzed. There were 2 genotypes (wildtype and mutant) and 3 treatments (two N treatments and a water control) for a total of 6 groups. Each group had 5 biological replicates.
