Structure of haze forming proteins in white wines: Vitis vinifera thaumatin-like proteins.

ABSTRACT: Grape thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) play roles in plant-pathogen interactions and can cause protein haze in white wine unless removed prior to bottling. Different isoforms of TLPs have different hazing potential and aggregation behavior. Here we present the elucidation of the molecular structures of three grape TLPs that display different hazing potential. The three TLPs have very similar structures despite belonging to two different classes (F2/4JRU is a thaumatin-like protein while I/4L5H and H2/4MBT are VVTL1), and having different unfolding temperatures (56 vs. 62°C), with protein F2/4JRU being heat unstable and forming haze, while I/4L5H does not. These differences in properties are attributable to the conformation of a single loop and the amino acid composition of its flanking regions.

Free Monoterpene Isomer Profiles of Vitis Vinifera L. cv. White Wines.

Project description:Monoterpene compounds contribute floral and fruity characters to wine and are desired by grape growers and winemakers for many white wines. However, monoterpene isomers, especially monoterpene enantiomers, have been little explored. It is possible to identify and quantitate 17 monoterpene isomers in 148 varietal wines from eight grape varieties; Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Pinot gris, Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Torrontes, and Viognier in two vintages by Headspace solidphase microextraction multidimensional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-MDGC-MS). Results obtained from general linear models and discriminant analysis showed significant differences for the isomer profiles and enantiomer fractions among the eight grape varieties and four wine styles. The high R2 values from the fitted line show low variation in enantiomeric differences based on variety. These results provide an overview of the monoterpene isomers of wide varietal wines, and support that isomer profiles and enantiomer fractions could differentiate our wines by varietal and wine style.

Recombinant Thaumatin-Like Protein (rTLP) and Chitinase (rCHI) from Vitis vinifera as Models for Wine Haze Formation.

Project description:Cross-linking net aggregates of thermolabile thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) and chitinases (CHIs) are the primary source of haze in white wines. Although bentonite fining is still routinely used in winemaking, alternative methods to selectively remove haze proteins without affecting wine organoleptic properties are needed. The availability of pure TLPs and CHIs would facilitate the research for the identification of such technological advances. Therefore, we proposed the usage of recombinant TLP (rTLP) and CHI (rCHI), expressed by Komagataella phaffii, as haze-protein models, since they showed similar characteristics (aggregation potential, melting point, functionality, glycosylation levels and bentonite adsorption) to the native-haze proteins from Vitis vinifera. Hence, rTLP and rCHI can be applied to study haze formation mechanisms on a molecular level and to explore alternative fining methods by screening proteolytic enzymes and ideal adsorptive resins.

Structure and functional annotation of hypothetical proteins having putative Rubisco activase function from Vitis vinifera.

Project description:Rubisco is a very large, complex and one of the most abundant proteins in the world and comprises up to 50% of all soluble protein in plants. The activity of Rubisco, the enzyme that catalyzes CO2 assimilation in photosynthesis, is regulated by Rubisco activase (Rca). In the present study, we searched for hypothetical protein of Vitis vinifera which has putative Rubisco activase function. The Arabidopsis and tobacco Rubisco activase protein sequences were used as seed sequences to search against Vitis vinifera in UniprotKB database. The selected hypothetical proteins of Vitis vinifera were subjected to sequence, structural and functional annotation. Subcellular localization predictions suggested it to be cytoplasmic protein. Homology modelling was used to define the three-dimensional (3D) structure of selected hypothetical proteins of Vitis vinifera. Template search revealed that all the hypothetical proteins share more than 80% sequence identity with structure of green-type Rubisco activase from tobacco, indicating proteins are evolutionary conserved. The homology modelling was generated using SWISS-MODEL. Several quality assessment and validation parameters computed indicated that homology models are reliable. Further, functional annotation through PFAM, CATH, SUPERFAMILY, CDART suggested that selected hypothetical proteins of Vitis vinifera contain ATPase family associated with various cellular activities (AAA) and belong to the AAA+ super family of ring-shaped P-loop containing nucleoside triphosphate hydrolases. This study will lead to research in the optimization of the functionality of Rubisco which has large implication in the improvement of plant productivity and resource use efficiency.

Varietal Aromas of Fortified Wines from Different Moscato Var. (Vitis vinifera L.) under the Same Pedoclimatic Conditions.

Project description:Vitis vinifera L. cv. Moscato includes different varieties mainly used to produce sweet wines, such as fortified wines. Moscato grapes are characterized by a large number of free and glycosylated monoterpenoids giving very aromatic wines. However, the literature data on the aroma profile of fortified Moscato wines are very limited. In light of this, the present research aimed to investigate the aroma compounds, mainly the varietal ones, of fortified wines from different Moscato varieties, namely Giallo (Yellow), Bianco (White), Bianco at Petit Grain (Blanc à Petits Grains), Ottonel and Rosa (Pink of Trentino), cultivated under the same pedoclimatic conditions. Using the HS-SPME-GC-MS (head space-solid phase micro extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) technique, numerous varietal and fermentative aroma compounds have been identified and quantified and significant differences were observed among varieties in the levels of mostly volatiles and in their ratios. Based on their composition, the studied wines can be divided in two groups depending on whether linalool or geraniol prevails among varietal aromas. These results are evidence that each Moscato variety has a typical varietal aroma composition, even if some similarities were found between the two white varieties, and between Moscato Giallo and Moscato Ottonel varieties. Moscato Rosa showed a peculiar aroma composition and the lowest ester/terpene ratio.

In search for flavonoid and colorimetric varietal markers of Vitis vinifera L. cv Rufete wines.

Project description:The better adaptation of autochthonous grape varieties to environmental changes is increasing the interest on them. Previous studies on Vitis vinifera L. cv Rufete, the flagship of DOP "Sierra de Salamanca", demonstrated its phenolic potential to produce quality wines. The present study aims at discovering flavonoid (HPLC-DAD-MSn) and colorimetric (CIELAB) varietal markers in commercial Rufete wines (RW) that could be employed to discriminate them from those made with other varieties or mixtures. Compared to Tempranillo wines (TW), RW showed lower phenolic contents, with lower proportions of anthocyanins and flavonols but greater of flavanols. Principal Component Analysis applied to flavonoid and chromatic variables allowed varietal separation of the samples along PC2, which was mostly driven by %total prodelphinidins, %oligomeric procyanidins and C ab * (greater in TW) and by %monomeric procyanindins and L* (greater in RW) and, additionally, by the proportions of A-type vitisins, acetaldehyde-related pigments, quercetin 3-O-glucuronide and Quercetin/Myricetin ratio (all greater in RW). The results of the present study show that the typicity of Rufete grapes is quite preserved in the wines made with up to 95% of Rufete and 5% of Tempranillo grapes or wines and independently of the enological practices of the different wineries.

Comprehensive Chemical and Sensory Assessment of Wines Made from White Grapes of Vitis vinifera Cultivars Albillo Dorado and Montonera del Casar: A Comparative Study with Airen.

Project description:The ability to obtain different wines with a singular organoleptic profile is one of the main factors for the wine industry's growth, in order to appeal to a broad cross section of consumers. Due to this, white wines made from the novel grape genotypes Albillo Dorado and Montonera del Casar (Vitis vinifera L.) were studied and compared to the well-known Airén at two consecutive years. Wines were evaluated by physicochemical, spectrophotometric, high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and sensory analyses. The chromatic characteristics of the new wines were defined by more color purity than Airén, with greenish highlights. In general, the phenolic profile of the Albillo Dorado wines showed a higher flavonol and hydroxycinnamic acid derivative content. Several volatile compounds were determined, and their odor activity values were calculated to determine their impact on wine aroma. A fruity series dominated the wine aromatic composition, but spicier and greener notes characterized the aroma profile of Airén wines. Albillo Dorado and Montonera del Casar were sensory evaluated as wines with a less fresh taste compared to Airén. Unique chemical and sensory profiles were determined for wines made from these novel grape genotypes, providing alternative monovarietal wines to encourage the wine market growth and extend the offer to consumers.

Recovery and fine structure variability of RGII sub-domains in wine (Vitis vinifera Merlot).

Project description:BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII) is a structurally complex pectic sub-domain composed of more than 12 different sugars and 20 different linkages distributed in five side chains along a homogalacturonan backbone. Although RGII has long been described as highly conserved over plant evolution, recent studies have revealed variations in the structure of the polysaccharide. This study examines the fine structure variability of RGII in wine, focusing on the side chains A and B obtained after sequential mild acid hydrolysis. Specifically, this study aims to differentiate intrinsic structural variations in these RGII side chains from structural variations due to acid hydrolysis. METHODS: RGII from wine (Vitis vinifera Merlot) was sequentially hydrolysed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and the hydrolysis products were separated by anion-exchange chromatography (AEC). AEC fractions or total hydrolysates were analysed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. KEY RESULTS: The optimal conditions to recover non-degraded side chain B, side chain A and RGII backbone were 0·1 m TFA at 40 °C for 16 h, 0·48 m TFA at 40 °C for 16 h (or 0·1 m TFA at 60 °C for 8 h) and 0·1 m TFA at 60 °C for 16 h, respectively. Side chain B was particularly prone to acid degradation. Side chain A and the RGII GalA backbone were partly degraded by 0·1 m TFA at 80 °C for 1-4 h. AEC allowed separation of side chain B, methyl-esterified side chain A and non-methyl-esterified side chain A. The structure of side chain A and the GalA backbone were highly variable. CONCLUSIONS: Several modifications to the RGII structure of wine were identified. The observed dearabinosylation and deacetylation were primarily the consequence of acidic treatment, while variation in methyl-esterification, methyl-ether linkages and oxidation reflect natural diversity. The physiological significance of this variability, however, remains to be determined.

Analysis of the grape (Vitis vinifera L.) thaumatin-like protein (TLP) gene family and demonstration that TLP29 contributes to disease resistance.

Project description:Thaumatin-like protein (TLP) is present as a large family in plants, and individual members play different roles in various responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here we studied the role of 33 putative grape (Vitis vinifera L.) TLP genes (VvTLP) in grape disease resistance. Heat maps analysis compared the expression profiles of 33 genes in disease resistant and susceptible grape species infected with anthracnose (Elsinoe ampelina), powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) or Botrytis cinerea. Among these 33 genes, the expression level of TLP29 increased following the three pathogens inoculations, and its homolog from the disease resistant Chinese wild grape V. quinquangularis cv. 'Shang-24', was focused for functional studies. Over-expression of TLP29 from grape 'Shang-24' (VqTLP29) in Arabidopsis thaliana enhanced its resistance to powdery mildew and the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000, but decreased resistance to B. cinerea. Moreover, the stomatal closure immunity response to pathogen associated molecular patterns was strengthened in the transgenic lines. A comparison of the expression profiles of various resistance-related genes after infection with different pathogens indicated that VqTLP29 may be involved in the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid/ethylene signaling pathways.

Inter- and intra-varietal genetic variations co-shape the polyphenol profiles of Vitis vinifera L. grapes and wines.

Project description:Inheritance and mutations are important factors affecting grape phenolic composition. To investigate the inter- and intra-varietal differences in polyphenolic compounds among grapes and wines, 27 clones belonging to eight varieties of Vitis vinifera L. were studied over two consecutive years. A total of 24 polyphenols (nine anthocyanins, three flavanols, five flavonols, and seven phenolic acids) were analyzed, and the physicochemical parameters of the grapes and wines were determined. Polyphenol profiles showed significant varietal and clonal polymorphisms, and malvidin-3-O-glucoside, peonidin-3-O- glucoside, and epicatechin were identified as key biomarkers distinguishing different grapes and wines when using an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Further multivariate analysis classified these genotypes into three subclasses, and a somatic variant of 'Malbec', MBVCR6, had the most abundant polyphenolic compounds that were related to the titratable acid content. The current results reveal that varietal and clonal variations are important for obtaining wines with high polyphenol content.
