Roles of stay-green (SGR) homologs during chlorophyll degradation in green plants.

ABSTRACT: Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is one of the most obvious signs of leaf senescence and fruit ripening. Stay-green (SGR) homologs that can remove magnesium from Chl a are the most important components in Chl degradation pathway in green plants. SGR homologs are not only universally involved in Chl breakdown during the senescence of green organs, but also play crucial roles in other organs during plant growth and development, such as fruit mature and nodule development. In this review, we focus on the diverse functions of SGR homologs in plant growth and development. A better understanding of SGR would be helpful for providing a theoretical basis for further illustrating the regulatory mechanism of SGR homologs.

The Divergent Roles of STAYGREEN (SGR) Homologs in Chlorophyll Degradation.

Project description:Degradation of chlorophyll (Chl) by Chl catabolic enzymes (CCEs) causes the loss of green color that typically occurs during senescence of leaves. In addition to CCEs, staygreen1 (SGR1) functions as a key regulator of Chl degradation. Although sgr1 mutants in many plant species exhibit a stay-green phenotype, the biochemical function of the SGR1 protein remains elusive. Many recent studies have examined the physiological and molecular roles of SGR1 and its homologs (SGR2 and SGR-LIKE) in Chl metabolism, finding that these proteins have different roles in different species. In this review, we summarize the recent studies on SGR and discuss the most likely functions of SGR homologs.

STAY-GREEN Accelerates Chlorophyll Degradation in Magnolia sinostellata under the Condition of Light Deficiency.

Project description:Species of the Magnoliaceae family are valued for their ornamental qualities and are widely used in landscaping worldwide. However, many of these species are endangered in their natural environments, often due to being overshadowed by overstory canopies. The molecular mechanisms of Magnolia's sensitivity to shade have remained hitherto obscure. Our study sheds light on this conundrum by identifying critical genes involved in governing the plant's response to a light deficiency (LD) environment. In response to LD stress, Magnolia sinostellata leaves were endowed with a drastic dwindling in chlorophyll content, which was concomitant to the downregulation of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway and upregulation in the chlorophyll degradation pathway. The STAY-GREEN (MsSGR) gene was one of the most up-regulated genes, which was specifically localized in chloroplasts, and its overexpression in Arabidopsis and tobacco accelerated chlorophyll degradation. Sequence analysis of the MsSGR promoter revealed that it contains multiple phytohormone-responsive and light-responsive cis-acting elements and was activated by LD stress. A yeast two-hybrid analysis resulted in the identification of 24 proteins that putatively interact with MsSGR, among which eight were chloroplast-localized proteins that were significantly responsive to LD. Our findings demonstrate that light deficiency increases the expression of MsSGR, which in turn regulates chlorophyll degradation and interacts with multiple proteins to form a molecular cascade. Overall, our work has uncovered the mechanism by which MsSGR mediates chlorophyll degradation under LD stress conditions, providing insight into the molecular interactions network of MsSGR and contributing to a theoretical framework for understanding the endangerment of wild Magnoliaceae species.

Homolog of Pea SGR Controls Stay-Green in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.).

Project description:Faba bean is an important legume crop consumed as a vegetable or snack food, and its green cotyledons could present an attractive color for consumers. A mutation in SGR causes stay-green in plants. In this study, vfsgr was identified from a green-cotyledon-mutant faba bean, SNB7, by homologous blast between the SGR of pea and the transcriptome of faba bean. Sequence analysis revealed that a SNP at position 513 of the CDS of VfSGR caused a pre-stop codon, resulting in a shorter protein in the green-cotyledon faba bean SNB7. A dCaps marker was developed according to the SNP that caused the pre-stop, and this marker was completely associated with the color of the cotyledon of faba bean. SNB7 stayed green during dark treatment, while the expression level of VfSGR increased during dark-induced senescence in the yellow-cotyledon faba bean HST. Transient expression of VfSGR in Nicotiana. benthamiana leaves resulted in chlorophyll degradation. These results indicate that vfsgr is the gene responsible for the stay-green of faba bean, and the dCaps marker developed in this study provides a molecular tool for the breeding of green-cotyledon faba beans.

Genome-Wide Identification of Kiwifruit SGR Family Members and Functional Characterization of SGR2 Protein for Chlorophyll Degradation.

Project description:The STAY-GREEN (SGR) proteins play an important role in chlorophyll (Chl) degradation and are closely related to plant photosynthesis. However, the availability of inadequate studies on SGR motivated us to conduct a comprehensive study on the identification and functional dissection of SGR superfamily members in kiwifruit. Here, we identified five SGR genes for each of the kiwifruit species [Actinidia chinensis (Ac) and Actinidia eriantha (Ae)]. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the kiwifruit SGR superfamily members were divided into two subfamilies the SGR subfamily and the SGRL subfamily. The results of transcriptome data and RT-qPCR showed that the expression of the kiwifruit SGRs was closely related to light and plant developmental stages (regulated by plant growth regulators), which were further supported by the presence of light and the plant hormone-responsive cis-regulatory element in the promoter region. The subcellular localization analysis of the AcSGR2 protein confirmed its localization in the chloroplast. The Fv/Fm, SPAD value, and Chl contents were decreased in overexpressed AcSGR2, but varied in different cultivars of A. chinensis. The sequence analysis showed significant differences within AcSGR2 proteins. Our findings provide valuable insights into the characteristics and evolutionary patterns of SGR genes in kiwifruit, and shall assist kiwifruit breeders to enhance cultivar development.

HCAR Is a Limitation Factor for Chlorophyll Cycle and Chlorophyll b Degradation in Chlorophyll-b-Overproducing Plants.

Project description:The chlorophyll (Chl) cycle is the metabolic pathway for Chl a and Chl b inter-conversion. In this pathway, Chl b is synthesized from Chl a by the catalyzing action of chlorophyllide a oxygenase (CAO). In contrast, Chl b is firstly reduced to produce 7-hydroxymethyl Chl (HMChl) a, which is catalyzed by two isozymes of Chl b reductase (CBR), non-yellow coloring 1 (NYC1) and NYC1-like (NOL). Subsequently, HMChl a is reduced to Chl a by HMChl a reductase (HCAR). CAO plays a pivotal role in Chl a/b ratio regulation and plants over-accumulate Chl b in CAO-overexpressing plants. NYC1 is more accumulated in Chl-b-overproducing plants, while HCAR is not changed. To investigate the role of HCAR in Chl cycle regulation, the Chl metabolites of Chl-b-overproducing plants were analyzed. The results showed that HMChl a accumulated in these plants, and it decreased and the Chl a/b ratio increased by overexpressing HCAR, implying HCAR is insufficient for Chl cycle in Chl-b-overproducing plants. Furthermore, during dark-induced senescence, the non-programmed cell death symptoms (leaves dehydrated with green color retained) of Chl-b-overproducing plants were obviously alleviated, and the content of HM pheophorbide (HMPheide) a and Pheide b were sharply decreased by overexpressing HCAR. These results imply that HCAR is also insufficient for Chl degradation in Chl-b-overproducing plants during senescence, thus causing the accumulation of Chl metabolites and non-programmed cell death of leaves. With these results taken together, we conclude that HCAR is not well regulated and it is a limiting factor for Chl cycle and Chl b degradation in Chl-b-overproducing plants.

Pyrrolic and Dipyrrolic Chlorophyll Degradation Products in Plants and Herbivores.

Project description:The degradation of chlorophyll, the omnipresent green pigment, has been investigated intensively over the last 30 years resulting in many elucidated tetrapyrrolic degradation products. With a comparison to the degradation of the structurally similar heme, we hereby propose a novel additional chlorophyll degradation mechanism to mono- and dipyrrolic products. This is the first proof of the occurrence of a family of mono- and dipyrrols in leaves that are previously only known as heme degradation products. This product family is also found in spit and feces of herbivores with specific metabolomic patterns reflecting the origin of the samples. Based on chromatographic and mass spectrometric evidence as well as on mechanistic considerations we also suggest several tentative new degradation products. One of them, dihydro BOX A, was fully confirmed as a novel natural product by synthesis and comparison of its spectroscopic data.

Insights into colour-tuning of chlorophyll optical response in green plants.

Project description:First-principles calculations within the framework of real-space time-dependent density functional theory have been performed for the complete chlorophyll (Chl) network of the light-harvesting complex from green plants, LHC-II. A local-dipole analysis method developed for this work has made possible the studies of the optical response of individual Chl molecules subjected to the influence of the remainder of the chromophore network. The spectra calculated using our real-space TDDFT method agree with previous suggestions that weak interaction with the protein microenvironment should produce only minor changes in the absorption spectrum of Chl chromophores in LHC-II. In addition, relative shifting of Chl absorption energies leads the stromal and lumenal sides of LHC-II to absorb in slightly different parts of the visible spectrum providing greater coverage of the available light frequencies. The site-specific alterations in Chl excitation energies support the existence of intrinsic energy transfer pathways within the LHC-II complex.

Glyoxalase Goes Green: The Expanding Roles of Glyoxalase in Plants.

Project description:The ubiquitous glyoxalase enzymatic pathway is involved in the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG), a cytotoxic byproduct of glycolysis. The glyoxalase system has been more extensively studied in animals versus plants. Plant glyoxalases have been primarily associated with stress responses and their overexpression is known to impart tolerance to various abiotic stresses. In plants, glyoxalases exist as multigene families, and new roles for glyoxalases in various developmental and signaling pathways have started to emerge. Glyoxalase-based MG detoxification has now been shown to be important for pollination responses. During self-incompatibility response in Brassicaceae, MG is required to target compatibility factors for proteasomal degradation, while accumulation of glyoxalase leads to MG detoxification and efficient pollination. In this review, we discuss the importance of glyoxalase systems and their emerging biological roles in plants.
