Cell wall-bound cationic and anionic class III isoperoxidases of pea root: biochemical characterization and function in root growth.

ABSTRACT: Cell wall isolated from pea roots was used to separate and characterize two fractions possessing class III peroxidase activity: (i) ionically bound proteins and (ii) covalently bound proteins. Modified SDS-PAGE separated peroxidase isoforms by their apparent molecular weights: four bands of 56, 46, 44, and 41kDa were found in the ionically bound fraction (iPOD) and one band (70kDa) was resolved after treatment of the cell wall with cellulase and pectinase (cPOD). Isoelectric focusing (IEF) patterns for iPODs and cPODs were significantly different: five iPODs with highly cationic pI (9.5-9.2) were detected, whereas the nine cPODs were anionic with pI values between pH 3.7 and 5. iPODs and cPODs showed rather specific substrate affinity and different sensitivity to inhibitors, heat, and deglycosylation treatments. Peroxidase and oxidase activities and their IEF patterns for both fractions were determined in different zones along the root and in roots of different ages. New iPODs with pI 9.34 and 9.5 were induced with root growth, while the activity of cPODs was more related to the formation of the cell wall in non-elongating tissue. Treatment with auxin that inhibits root growth led to suppression of iPOD and induction of cPOD. A similar effect was obtained with the widely used elicitor, chitosan, which also induced cPODs with pI 5.3 and 5.7, which may be specifically related to pathogen defence. The differences reported here between biochemical properties of cPOD and iPOD and their differential induction during development and under specific treatments implicate that they are involved in specific and different physiological processes.

Apoplastic class III peroxidases PRX62 and PRX69 promote Arabidopsis root hair growth at low temperature.

Project description:Root Hairs (RHs) growth is influenced by endogenous and by external environmental signals that coordinately regulate its final cell size. We have recently determined that RH growth was unexpectedly boosted when Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings are cultivated at low temperatures. It was proposed that RH growth plasticity in response to low temperature was linked to a reduced nutrient availability in the media. Here, we explore the molecular basis of this RH growth response by using a Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) approach using Arabidopsis thaliana natural accessions. We identify the poorly characterized PEROXIDASE 62 (PRX62) and a related protein PRX69 as key proteins under moderate low temperature stress. Strikingly, a cell wall protein extensin (EXT) reporter reveals the effect of peroxidase activity on EXT cell wall association at 10 °C in the RH apical zone. Collectively, our results indicate that PRX62, and to a lesser extent PRX69, are key apoplastic PRXs that modulate ROS-homeostasis and cell wall EXT-insolubilization linked to RH elongation at low temperature.

Class III Peroxidases PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 Control Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Root hair cells are important sensors of soil conditions. They grow towards and absorb water-soluble nutrients. This fast and oscillatory growth is mediated by continuous remodeling of the cell wall. Root hair cell walls contain polysaccharides and hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, including extensins (EXTs). Class-III peroxidases (PRXs) are secreted into the apoplastic space and are thought to trigger either cell wall loosening or polymerization of cell wall components, such as Tyr-mediated assembly of EXT networks (EXT-PRXs). The precise role of these EXT-PRXs is unknown. Using genetic, biochemical, and modeling approaches, we identified and characterized three root-hair-specific putative EXT-PRXs, PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73. prx01,44,73 triple mutation and PRX44 and PRX73 overexpression had opposite effects on root hair growth, peroxidase activity, and ROS production, with a clear impact on cell wall thickness. We use an EXT fluorescent reporter with contrasting levels of cell wall insolubilization in prx01,44,73 and PRX44-overexpressing background plants. In this study, we propose that PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 control EXT-mediated cell wall properties during polar expansion of root hair cells.

Membrane-Bound Class III Peroxidases: Unexpected Enzymes with Exciting Functions.

Project description:Class III peroxidases are heme-containing proteins of the secretory pathway with a high redundance and versatile functions. Many soluble peroxidases have been characterized in great detail, whereas only a few studies exist on membrane-bound isoenzymes. Membrane localization of class III peroxidases has been demonstrated for tonoplast, plasma membrane and detergent resistant membrane fractions of different plant species. In silico analysis revealed transmembrane domains for about half of the class III peroxidases that are encoded by the maize (Zea mays) genome. Similar results have been found for other species like thale-cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) and rice (Oryza sativa). Besides this, soluble peroxidases interact with tonoplast and plasma membranes by protein⁻protein interaction. The topology, spatiotemporal organization, molecular and biological functions of membrane-bound class III peroxidases are discussed. Besides a function in membrane protection and/or membrane repair, additional functions have been supported by experimental data and phylogenetics.

Populus alba cationic cell-wall-bound peroxidase (CWPO-C) regulates the plant growth and affects auxin concentration in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:The poplar cationic cell-wall-bound peroxidase (CWPO-C) mediates the oxidative polymerization of lignin precursors, especially sinapyl alcohols, and high molecular weight compounds that cannot be oxidized by other plant peroxidases, including horseradish peroxidase C. Therefore, CWPO-C is believed to be a lignification-specific peroxidase, but direct evidence of its function is lacking. Thus, the CWPO-C expression pattern in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) was determined using the β-glucuronidase gene as a reporter. Our data indicated that CWPO-C was expressed in young organs, including the meristem, leaf, root, flower, and young xylem in the upper part of the stem. Compared with the wild-type control, transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing CWPO-C had shorter stems. Approximately 60% of the plants in the transgenic line with the highest CWPO-C content had curled stems. These results indicate that CWPO-C plays a role in cell elongation. When plants were placed horizontally, induced CWPO-C expression was detected in the curved part of the stem during the gravitropic response. The stem curvature associated with gravitropism is controlled by auxin localization. The time needed for Arabidopsis plants overexpressing CWPO-C placed horizontally to bend by 90° was almost double the time required for the similarly treated wild-type controls. Moreover, the auxin content was significantly lower in the CWPO-C-overexpressing plants than in the wild-type plants. These results strongly suggest that CWPO-C has pleiotropic effects on plant growth and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) accumulation. These effects may be mediated by altered IAA concentration due to oxidation.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-022-01241-0.

Phosphorescent cationic iridium(iii) complexes dynamically bound to cyclodextrin vesicles: applications in live cell imaging.

Project description:We report cationic Ir(iii) complexes functionalized with adamantyl groups designed to bind to β-cyclodextrin vesicles (CDV) with high affinity (K a = 1 × 106 M-1). The emission of the complexes is tuned by changing the nature of the cyclometalating ligands. The host-guest adduct of CDV and Ir(iii) complexes shows increased and significantly blue-shifted emission due to the lower mobility of the Ir(iii)-complexes residing in the less polar environment of the vesicle surface. Ir(iii)-decorated CDV are efficiently taken up by cells and can be used in live cell imaging. The CDV act as carriers to transport the phosphorescent complexes into cells where they selectively stain mitochondria.

Anionic Hosts for the Incorporation of Cationic Guests.

Project description:Pentaphosphaferrocene [Cp*Fe(?5 -P5 )] (1?a) represents an excellent building block for the template-directed synthesis of spherical supramolecules. Here, the self-assembly of 1?a with CuI and CuII halides in the presence of the template complexes [FeCp2 ][PF6 ], [CoCp2 ][PF6 ] and [CoCp2 ] is reported, testifying to the redox behavior of the formed supramolecules. The oxidation or reduction capacity of these reactive complexes does not inhibit their template impact and, for the first time, the cationic metallocene [CoCp2 ]+ is enclosed in unprecedented anionic organometallic hosts. Furthermore, the large variety of structural motifs, as icosahedral, trigonal antiprismatic, cuboidal and tetragonal antiprismatic arrangements of 1?a units are realized in the supramolecules [FeCp2 ]@[{1?a}12 (CuBr)17.3 ]?(3), [CoCp2 ]+3 {[CoCp2 ]+ @[{1?a}8 Cu24.25 Br28.25 (CH3 CN)6 ]4- }?(4), {[Cp2 Co]+ @[{1?a}8 (CuI)28 (CH3 CN)9.8 ]}{[Cp2 Co]+ @[{1?a)}8 Cu24.4 I26.4 (CH3 CN)8 ]2- }?(5), and [{1?a}3 {(1?a)2 NH}3 Cu16 I10 (CH3 CN)7 ]?(6), respectively.

Layered assembly of cationic and anionic supramolecular polymers.

Project description:The chemical synthesis and the supramolecular assembly of an aromatic oligoamine are described. The self-assembly of the cationic oligomers in aqueous solution leads to the formation of vesicular objects. The assembly process of the oligomers is monitored by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and the formed vesicles are characterized by atomic force and transmission electron microscopy. The electrostatic complementarity of anionic supramolecular polymers sheets and the cationic vesicles is used for a layered assembly process.

Arabidopsis thaliana Growth is Negatively Regulated by the Class III Peroxidase AtPrx71 during Development and in Response to Cell Wall Damage

Project description:The cell wall is a crucial structure in plant cells, and modifications in its composition often have a major impact on growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the negative effects of cell wall alterations on plant growth are largely unknown. It was previously shown that a reduction in the levels of de-esterified homogalacturonan, a major pectin component of cell walls, in Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing a fungal polygalacturonase or mutated in the QUASIMODO2 gene (qua2-1 plants), cause severe growth defects. Here we show that the class III peroxidase AtPrx71 is strongly up-regulated in these plants, as well as in response to alterations of other wall structural components, including treatments the cellulose synthase inhibitor isoxaben. Analysis of atprx71 loss-of-function mutants and of plants overexpressing AtPrx71 indicates that this gene negatively affects Arabidopsis growth at different stages of development. Furthermore, lack of AtPrx71 partially suppresses the dwarf phenotype of qua2-1, suggesting that this protein contributes to the growth defects observed in plants undergoing cell wall damage. AtPrx71 appears to promote the production of reactive oxygen species in qua2-1 plants, as well as in plants treated with isoxaben. We propose that production of reactive oxygen species mediated by AtPrx71 negatively regulates Arabidopsis growth both during physiological development and in response to loss of cell wall integrity.

Hypoxia-Responsive Class III Peroxidases in Maize Roots: Soluble and Membrane-Bound Isoenzymes.

Project description:Flooding induces low-oxygen environments (hypoxia or anoxia) that lead to energy disruption and an imbalance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and scavenging enzymes in plants. The influence of hypoxia on roots of hydroponically grown maize (Zea mays L.) plants was investigated. Gene expression (RNA Seq and RT-qPCR) and proteome (LC-MS/MS and 2D-PAGE) analyses were used to determine the alterations in soluble and membrane-bound class III peroxidases under hypoxia. Gel-free peroxidase analyses of plasma membrane-bound proteins showed an increased abundance of ZmPrx03, ZmPrx24, ZmPrx81, and ZmPr85 in stressed samples. Furthermore, RT-qPCR analyses of the corresponding peroxidase genes revealed an increased expression. These peroxidases could be separated with 2D-PAGE and identified by mass spectrometry. An increased abundance of ZmPrx03 and ZmPrx85 was determined. Further peroxidases were identified in detergent-insoluble membranes. Co-regulation with a respiratory burst oxidase homolog (Rboh) and key enzymes of the phenylpropanoid pathway indicates a function of the peroxidases in membrane protection, aerenchyma formation, and cell wall remodeling under hypoxia. This hypothesis was supported by the following: (i) an elevated level of hydrogen peroxide and aerenchyma formation; (ii) an increased guaiacol peroxidase activity in membrane fractions of stressed samples, whereas a decrease was observed in soluble fractions; and (iii) alterations in lignified cells, cellulose, and suberin in root cross-sections.
