Proteomic Analysis Reveals the Association between the Path-ways of Glutathione and α-Linolenic Acid Metabolism and Lanthanum Accumulation in Tea Plants

ABSTRACT: Tieguanyin (TGY) and Shuixian (SX) cultivars of Camellia sinensis were selected to explore the mechanism underlying the accumulation of the rare earth element lanthanum through proteomics. Roots and fresh leaves of TGY and SX with low- and high-accumulation potential for lanthanum, respectively, were studied; 845 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified. Gene ontology analysis showed that the DEPs are involved in redox processes and related to molecular functions, such as defense and oxidative stress reactions, catalytic activity, and metal ion binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes metabolic pathway analysis showed that DEPs were associated with glutathione (GSH) and α-linolenic acid metabolism, plant pathogen interaction, and oxidative phosphorylation. Thirty-seven proteins in the GSH metabolism pathway showed significant differences, of which 18 GSH S-transferases show differential expression patterns in the root system.The expression multiples of GST (TEA004130.1) and GST (TEA032216.1) in T1L and T0L were 6.84 and 4.06, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in S1L and S0L. The lanthanum-induced activation of the GSH-related antioxidant defense system may cause the difference in TGY and SX. The LOX2.1 (TEA011765.1) and LOX2.1 (TEA011776.1 expression ratios) in the α-linolenic acid metabolic pathway were 2.44 and 6.43 in T1R and T0R, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in S1R snd S0R. The other differential proteins were also sig-nificantly upregulated in TGY leaves.The synthesis of specific substances induces lantha-num-associated defense responses in TGY, which is of great significance for the stability of its yield.

Lanthanum can affect the growth and development of the tea plant. Tieguanyin (TGY) and Shuixian (SX) cultivars of Camellia sinensis were selected to explore the mechanism underlying the accumulation of lanthanum (tea plants' most accumulated rare earth element) through proteomics. Roots and fresh leaves of TGY and SX with low- and high-accumulation potential for lanthanum, respectively, were studied; 845 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified. Gene ontology analysis showed that ...[more]

Project description:Switchgrass plants were grown in a Sandwich tube system to induce gradual drought stress by withholding watering. After 29 days, leaf photosynthetic rate decreased significantly, compared to the control plants which were watered regularly. The drought-treated plants recovered to the same leaf water content after three days of re-watering. Root tip (1cm basal fragment, designated as RT1 hereafter) and the elongation/maturation zone (the next upper 1 cm tissue, designated as RT2 hereafter) tissues were collected at the 29th day of drought stress treatment, (named SDT for severe drought treated), one (D1W) and three days (D3W) of re-watering. The tandem mass tags mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics analysis was performed to identify the proteomes, and drought-induced differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). From RT1 tissues, 6,156, 7,687 and 7,699 proteins were quantified, and 296, 535 and 384 DEPs were identified in the SDT, D1W and D3W samples, respectively. From RT2 tissues, 7,382, 7,255 and 6,883 proteins were quantified, and 393, 587 and 321 proteins DEPs were identified in the SDT, D1W and D3W samples. Between RT1 and RT2 tissues, very few DEPs overlapped at SDT, but the number of such proteins increased during the recovery phase. A large number of hydrophilic proteins and stress-responsive proteins were induced during SDT and remained at a higher level during the recovery stages. A large number of DEPs in RT1 tissues maintained the same expression pattern throughout drought treatment and the recovery phases. The DEPs in RT1 tissues were classified in cell proliferation, mitotic cell division, and chromatin modification, and those in RT2 were placed in cell wall remodeling and cell expansion processes. This study provided information pertaining to root zone-specific proteome changes during drought and recover phases, which will allow us to choose the proteins (genes) as better defined targets for developing drought tolerant plants.

Project description:Background: Lysine crotonylation (Kcr), as a novel evolutionarily conserved type of PTM, is ubiquitous and essential in cell biology. However, its functions in tea plant, an important beverage crop, are largely unknown. Our study firstly attempted to describe Kcr proteins in tea leaves under NH4+ deficiency/resupply, and provided significant insights into exploring the physiological role of Kcr in plants for N utilization. Results: We performed the global analysis of crotonylome in tea plants under NH4+ deficiency/resupply using high-resolution LC-MS/MS coupled with highly sensitive immune-antibody. A total of 2288 kcr sites on 971 proteins were identified, of which contained in 15 types of Kcr motifs. Most of Kcr proteins were located in chloroplast and cytoplasm. 120 and 151 Kcr proteins were significantly changed at 3 hours and 3days of NH4+ resupply, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis showed that differentially expressed Kcr proteins participated in diverse biological processes such as photosynthesis, carbon fixation and amino acid metabolism, suggesting Kcr plays important roles in these processes. Interestingly, a large number of enzymes were crotonylated, and the activity and Kcr level of these enzymes changed significantly after NH4+ resupply, indicating a potential function of Kcr in the regulation of enzyme activities. Moreover, the protein-protein interaction analysis revealed that the diverse interactions of identified Kcr proteins mainly involved in photosynthesis, carbon fixation, amino acid metabolism and ribosome. Conclusions: The results suggested that lysine crotonylated proteins might play regulating roles in metabolic process in tea leaves under NH4+ deficiency/resupply. The critical regulatory roles mainly involved in diverse aspects of primary metabolic processes, especially in photosynthesis, carbon fixation and amino acid metabolism. The provided data may serve as important resources for exploring the physiological, biochemical, and genetic role of lysine crotonylation in tea plants.

Project description:Background: Solubilized aluminum (Al) is rhizotoxic and can be present in acid soils at levels that inhibit root growth. Acid soils are found throughout the world and often support forests. However, unlike in herbaceous plants, little is known about the mechanisms by which forest trees respond to and tolerate Al. To begin to elucidate these mechanisms, we characterized transcriptomic changes in response to Al in roots of aspen (Populus tremula L.). Results: Aspen roots were treated with Al in solution culture for 6 h, 54 h, and 246 h. Transcriptomic changes were assessed by the Affymetrix GeneChip Poplar Genome Array. The analysis revealed 176 induced and 66 suppressed genes. The majority of these genes were regulated at 6 h, presumably reflecting root growth, which was strongly inhibited at 6 h and partially was recovered at 2 d and 10 d. Enrichment analysis identified sets of functionally related genes whose members were statistically over-represented compared to the genes on the microarray. These sets included genes related to cell wall modification, oxidative stress, cell death, and transport processes. Two of the genes involved in transport were related to the Arabidopsis Al tolerance genes AtALS3 (aluminum sensitive 3), possibly mediating redistribution of Al, and AtMATE (multi-drug and toxin extrusion), facilitating exudation of citrate. Expression patterns in response to Al in different plant tissues indicated that the two aspen genes are homologs of AtALS3 and AtMATE, suggesting that aspen and Arabidopsis share common mechanisms to cope with Al. Conclusion: This is the first survey of transcriptomic changes in response to Al in a forest tree. The results of our study provide a valuable set of data, which will help to further our understanding of the mechanisms and their regulation that enable aspen to grow in environments with toxic levels of Al. Aspen roots were treated with Al in solution culture for 6 h, 54 h, 246 h to cover a broad range of exposure times. Transcriptomic changes were assessed by the Affymetrix GeneChip Poplar Genome Array. For each time point, root tips of three independant plants were analyzed.

Project description:Drought stress is a major problem around the world and although progress in understanding how vegetable crops and model plants adapt to drought have been made, there is still little information about how fruit crops deal with moderate drought stress. In this study, we investigated the response of two apple genotypes: a drought-sensitive genotype (M26) and a drought-tolerant genotype (MBB). Our results of the morphology, physiology and biochemistry under moderate drought stress, indicated that relative water content (RWC) and leaf area (LA) were not significant changes in two genotypes. However, it had larger leaf mass per area (LMA), and accumulated higher free proline (CFP), soluble sugars (CSS) and malonaldehyde (MDA) in the leaves. Thus, it appears that the MBB genotype could produce more osmosis-regulating substances. Phosphoproteomic was analyzed from leaves of both genotypes under moderate drought stress using the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technology. A total of 595 unique phosphopeptides, 682 phosphorylated sites and 446 phosphoproteins were quantitatively analyzed in the two genotypes. Motif analyses of the phosphorylation sites showed that six motifs including [PxsP], [sP], [sD], [Rxxs], [sxP] and [sxs] were enriched. We identified 12 and 48 PLSC phosphoproteins in M26 and MBB, respectively. Among these, 9 PLSC phosphoproteins were common to both genotypes, perhaps indicating a partial overlaps of the mechanisms to moderate drought stress. Gene ontology analyses revealed that the PLSC phosphoproteins present a unique combination of metabolism, transcription, translation and protein processing, suggesting that the response in apple to moderate drought stress encompasses a new homeostasis of major cellular processes. The basic trend was an increase in protein abundance related to drought and organic substance upon moderate drought stress between two genotypes. These increases were higher in the drought-tolerant genotype (MBB) than in the drought-sensitive genotype (M26). The 23 differentially expressed mRNA encoding phosphoproteins were analysis by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Our study is the first to address the phosphoproteome of a major fruit crop, apple rootstocks, in response to moderate drought stress, and provide insights into the molecular regulation mechanisms of apple rootstock under moderate drought stress.

Project description:Detailed information: Rice (*Oryza sativa* L. cv. Nipponbare) is a drought-susceptible species which is well suited for studies of abiotic stress response because of the comprehensive bioinformatics resource available. By withholding water from the entire root system of young rice plants, or half the root system only, it was possible to infer the relative impact of signals arriving from roots growing in wet and dry soil on the shoot proteome. The global proteome of shoots had 685 proteins in common to all three drought treatments but there were major shifts in abundance of individual proteins within 16 functional categories. The dominant changes were analyzed more deeply. First, we investigated transport and cell component organization, where some proteins were up-regulated by drought but many more down-regulated. Proteins involved in protein metabolism were up-regulated in general by drought when they were responsible for protein degradation but those involved in protein synthesis were down-regulated when water was withheld. Stress-related proteins behaved very consistently by increasing in droughted plants but notably some proteins were most abundant when roots of the same plant were growing in both wet and dry soil. This suggests that drought signals are complex interactions and not simply the additive effect of water supply to the roots. Changes in carbohydrate-processing proteins were consistent with the passive accumulation of soluble sugars in shoots under drought, with hydrolysis of sucrose and starch synthesis both enhanced. Data analysis information: The result raw files were converted to mzXML format and processed through the global proteome machine (GPM) software (version 2.1.1) of the X!Tandem algorithm (freely available at http://www.thegpm.org). The 16 gel fractions were processed serially for each experiment and the output files were generated as non-redundant, merged files with protein identifications with log (e) values less than -1, for each individual gel fraction. A protein database compiled from NCBI *O*. *sativa* with 26938 protein sequences (August 2011) was used in GPM to search the tandem mass spectra; the database also included common trypsin and human peptide contaminants. False discovery rates (FDR) were evaluated by searching against a reversed sequence database. Search parameters included MS and MS/MS tolerances of +2 Da and +0.2 Da, carbamidomethylation of cysteine as fixed modifications, oxidation of methionine as variable modifications and tolerance of two missed tryptic cleavages and K/R-P cleavages.
