BRS1 mediates plant redox regulation and cold responses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brassinosteroid-insensitive 1 suppressor 1 (BRS1) is a serine carboxypeptidase that mediates brassinosteroid signaling and participates in multiple developmental processes in Arabidopsis. However, little is known about the precise role of BRS1 in this context.

Results

In this study, we analyzed transcriptional and proteomic profiles of Arabidopsis seedlings overexpressing BRS1 and found that this gene was involved in both cold stress responses and redox regulation. Further proteomic evidence showed that BRS1 regulated cell redox by indirectly interacting with cytosolic NADP + -dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (cICDH). One novel alternative splice form of BRS1 was identified in over-expression mutants brs1-1D, which may confer a new role in plant development and stress responses.

Conclusions

This study highlights the role of BRS1 in plant redox regulation and stress responses, which extends our understanding of extracellular serine carboxypeptidases.

Thiol Redox Regulation of Plant ?-Carbonic Anhydrase.

Project description:?-carbonic anhydrases (?CA) accelerate the equilibrium formation between CO2 and carbonate. Two plant ?CA isoforms are targeted to the chloroplast and represent abundant proteins in the range of >1% of chloroplast protein. While their function in gas exchange and photosynthesis is well-characterized in carbon concentrating mechanisms of cyanobacteria and plants with C4-photosynthesis, their function in plants with C3-photosynthesis is less clear. The presence of conserved and surface-exposed cysteinyl residues in the ?CA-structure urged to the question whether ?CA is subject to redox regulation. Activity measurements revealed reductive activation of ?CA1, whereas oxidized ?CA1 was inactive. Mutation of cysteinyl residues decreased ?CA1 activity, in particular C280S, C167S, C230S, and C257S. High concentrations of dithiothreitol or low amounts of reduced thioredoxins (TRXs) activated oxidized ?CA1. TRX-y1 and TRX-y2 most efficiently activated ?CA1, followed by TRX-f1 and f2 and NADPH-dependent TRX reductase C (NTRC). High light irradiation did not enhance ?CA activity in wildtype Arabidopsis, but surprisingly in ?ca1 knockout plants, indicating light-dependent regulation. The results assign a role of ?CA within the thiol redox regulatory network of the chloroplast.

Redox regulation of plant stem cell fate.

Project description:Despite the importance of stem cells in plant and animal development, the common mechanisms of stem cell maintenance in both systems have remained elusive. Recently, the importance of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) signaling in priming stem cell differentiation has been extensively studied in animals. Here, we show that different forms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have antagonistic roles in plant stem cell regulation, which were established by distinct spatiotemporal patterns of ROS-metabolizing enzymes. The superoxide anion (O2·-) is markedly enriched in stem cells to activate WUSCHEL and maintain stemness, whereas H2O2 is more abundant in the differentiating peripheral zone to promote stem cell differentiation. Moreover, H2O2 negatively regulates O2·- biosynthesis in stem cells, and increasing H2O2 levels or scavenging O2·- leads to the termination of stem cells. Our results provide a mechanistic framework for ROS-mediated control of plant stem cell fate and demonstrate that the balance between O2·- and H2O2 is key to stem cell maintenance and differentiation.

Predicting transcriptional responses to cold stress across plant species.

Project description:Although genome-sequence assemblies are available for a growing number of plant species, gene-expression responses to stimuli have been cataloged for only a subset of these species. Many genes show altered transcription patterns in response to abiotic stresses. However, orthologous genes in related species often exhibit different responses to a given stress. Accordingly, data on the regulation of gene expression in one species are not reliable predictors of orthologous gene responses in a related species. Here, we trained a supervised classification model to identify genes that transcriptionally respond to cold stress. A model trained with only features calculated directly from genome assemblies exhibited only modest decreases in performance relative to models trained by using genomic, chromatin, and evolution/diversity features. Models trained with data from one species successfully predicted which genes would respond to cold stress in other related species. Cross-species predictions remained accurate when training was performed in cold-sensitive species and predictions were performed in cold-tolerant species and vice versa. Models trained with data on gene expression in multiple species provided at least equivalent performance to models trained and tested in a single species and outperformed single-species models in cross-species prediction. These results suggest that classifiers trained on stress data from well-studied species may suffice for predicting gene-expression patterns in related, less-studied species with sequenced genomes.

The cold-induced factor CBF3 mediates root stem cell activity, regeneration, and developmental responses to cold.

Project description:Plant growth and development involve the specification and regeneration of stem cell niches (SCNs). Although plants are exposed to disparate environmental conditions, how environmental cues affect developmental programs and stem cells is not well understood. Root stem cells are accommodated in meristems in SCNs around the quiescent center (QC), which maintains their activity. Using a combination of genetics and confocal microscopy to trace morphological defects and correlate them with changes in gene expression and protein levels, we show that the cold-induced transcription factor (TF) C-REPEAT BINDING FACTOR 3 (CBF3), which has previously been associated with cold acclimation, regulates root development, stem cell activity, and regeneration. CBF3 is integrated into the SHORT-ROOT (SHR) regulatory network, forming a feedback loop that maintains SHR expression. CBF3 is primarily expressed in the root endodermis, whereas the CBF3 protein is localized to other meristematic tissues, including root SCNs. Complementation of cbf3-1 using a wild-type CBF3 gene and a CBF3 fusion with reduced mobility show that CBF3 movement capacity is required for SCN patterning and regulates root growth. Notably, cold induces CBF3, affecting QC activity. Furthermore, exposure to moderate cold around 10°C-12°C promotes root regeneration and QC respecification in a CBF3-dependent manner during the recuperation period. By contrast, CBF3 does not appear to regulate stem cell survival, which has been associated with recuperation from more acute cold (∼4°C). We propose a role for CBF3 in mediating the molecular interrelationships among the cold response, stem cell activity, and development.

TRPM8 thermosensation in poikilotherms mediates both skin colour and locomotor performance responses to cold temperature.

Project description:Thermoregulation is a homeostatic process to maintain an organism's internal temperature within a physiological range compatible with life. In poikilotherms, body temperature fluctuates with that of the environment, with both physiological and behavioral responses employed to modify body temperature. Changing skin colour/reflectance and locomotor activity are both well-recognized temperature regulatory mechanisms, but little is known of the participating thermosensor/s. We find that Xenopus laevis tadpoles put in the cold exhibit a temperature-dependent, systemic, and rapid melanosome aggregation in melanophores, which lightens the skin. Cooling also induces a reduction in the locomotor performance. To identify the cold-sensor, we focus on transient receptor potential (trp) channel genes from a Trpm family. mRNAs for several Trpms are present in Xenopus tails, and Trpm8 protein is present in skin melanophores. Temperature-induced melanosome aggregation is mimicked by the Trpm8 agonist menthol (WS12) and blocked by a Trpm8 antagonist. The degree of skin lightening induced by cooling is correlated with locomotor performance, and both responses are rapidly regulated in a dose-dependent and correlated manner by the WS12 Trpm8 agonist. We propose that TRPM8 serves as a cool thermosensor in poikilotherms that helps coordinate skin lightening and behavioural locomotor performance as adaptive thermoregulatory responses to cold.

Enzyme action in the regulation of plant hormone responses.

Project description:Plants synthesize a chemically diverse range of hormones that regulate growth, development, and responses to environmental stresses. The major classes of plant hormones are specialized metabolites with exquisitely tailored perception and signaling systems, but equally important are the enzymes that control the dose and exposure to the bioactive forms of these molecules. Here, we review new insights into the role of enzyme families, including the SABATH methyltransferases, the methylesterases, the GH3 acyl acid-amido synthetases, and the hormone peptidyl hydrolases, in controlling the biosynthesis and modifications of plant hormones and how these enzymes contribute to the network of chemical signals responsible for plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation.

Structural basis and evolution of redox regulation in plant adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate kinase.

Project description:Adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (APS) kinase (APSK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of APS to 3'-phospho-APS (PAPS). In Arabidopsis thaliana, APSK is essential for reproductive viability and competes with APS reductase to partition sulfate between the primary and secondary branches of the sulfur assimilatory pathway; however, the biochemical regulation of APSK is poorly understood. The 1.8-Å resolution crystal structure of APSR from A. thaliana (AtAPSK) in complex with β,γ-imidoadenosine-5'-triphosphate, Mg(2+), and APS provides a view of the Michaelis complex for this enzyme and reveals the presence of an intersubunit disulfide bond between Cys86 and Cys119. Functional analysis of AtAPSK demonstrates that reduction of Cys86-Cys119 resulted in a 17-fold higher k(cat)/K(m) and a 15-fold increase in K(i) for substrate inhibition by APS compared with the oxidized enzyme. The C86A/C119A mutant was kinetically similar to the reduced WT enzyme. Gel- and activity-based titrations indicate that the midpoint potential of the disulfide in AtAPSK is comparable to that observed in APS reductase. Both cysteines are invariant among the APSK from plants, but not other organisms, which suggests redox-control as a unique regulatory feature of the plant APSK. Based on structural, functional, and sequence analyses, we propose that the redox-sensitive APSK evolved after bifurcation of the sulfur assimilatory pathway in the green plant lineage and that changes in redox environment resulting from oxidative stresses may affect partitioning of APS into the primary and secondary thiol metabolic routes by having opposing effects on APSK and APS reductase in plants.

The CpxA/CpxR two-component system mediates regulation of <i>Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae</i> cold growth.

Project description:IntroductionTo survive in various hostile environments, two-component system is an adaptive mechanism for diverse bacteria. Activity of the CpxA/CpxR two-component system contributes to coping with different stimuli, such as pH, osmotic and heat stress.MethodsHowever, the role of the CpxA/CpxR system in cold resistance is little-known. In this study, we showed that CpxA/CpxRwas critical for A. pleuropneumoniae growth under cold stress.Resultsβ-Galactosidaseanalysis showed that CpxA/CpxR positively regulated the predicted cold stress gene cspC. The mutant for cold stress gene cspC was impaired in the optimal growth of A. pleuropneumoniae under cold stress. Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that CpxR-P could directly regulate the transcription of the cold stress gene cspC.DiscussionThese results presented in this study illustrated that the CpxA/CpxR system plays an important role in cold resistance by upregulating expression of CspC. The data give new insights into how A. pleuropneumoniae survives in cold stress.
