Quantitative proteomic analysis to capture the role of heat-accumulated proteins in moss plant acquired thermotolerance.

ABSTRACT: At dawn of a scorching summer day, land plants must anticipate upcoming extreme midday temperatures by timely establishing molecular defences that can keep heat-labile membranes and proteins functional. A gradual morning pre-exposure to increasing sub-damaging temperatures induces heat-shock proteins (HSPs) that are central to the onset of plant acquired thermotolerance (AT). To gain knowledge on the mechanisms of AT in the model land plant Physcomitrium patens, we used label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics to quantify the accumulated and depleted proteins before and following a mild heat-priming treatment. High protein crowding is thought to promote protein aggregation, whereas molecular chaperones prevent and actively revert aggregation. Yet, we found that heat priming (HP) did not accumulate HSP chaperones in chloroplasts, although protein crowding was six times higher than in the cytosol. In contrast, several HSP20s strongly accumulated in the cytosol, yet contributing merely 4% of the net mass increase of heat-accumulated proteins. This is in poor concordance with their presumed role at preventing the aggregation of heat-labile proteins. The data suggests that under mild HP unlikely to affect protein stability. Accumulating HSP20s leading to AT, regulate the activity of rare and specific signalling proteins, thereby preventing cell death under noxious heat stress.

Project description:BackgroundIncidences of heat stress due to the changing global climate can negatively affect the growth and yield of temperature-sensitive crops such as soybean variety, Pungsannamul. Increased temperatures decrease crop productivity by affecting biochemical, physiological, molecular, and morphological factors either individually or in combination with other abiotic stresses. The application of plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria (PGPEB) offers an ecofriendly approach for improving agriculture crop production and counteracting the negative effects of heat stress.ResultsWe isolated, screened and identified thermotolerant B. cereus SA1 as a bacterium that could produce biologically active metabolites, such as gibberellin, indole-3-acetic acid, and organic acids. SA1 inoculation improved the biomass, chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll fluorescence of soybean plants under normal and heat stress conditions for 5 and 10 days. Heat stress increased abscisic acid (ABA) and reduced salicylic acid (SA); however, SA1 inoculation markedly reduced ABA and increased SA. Antioxidant analysis results showed that SA1 increased the ascorbic acid peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione contents in soybean plants. In addition, heat stress markedly decreased amino acid contents; however, they were increased with SA1 inoculation. Heat stress for 5 days increased heat shock protein (HSP) expression, and a decrease in GmHSP expression was observed after 10 days; however, SA1 inoculation augmented the heat stress response and increased HSP expression. The stress-responsive GmLAX3 and GmAKT2 were overexpressed in SA1-inoculated plants and may be associated with decreased reactive oxygen species generation, altered auxin and ABA stimuli, and enhanced potassium gradients, which are critical in plants under heat stress.ConclusionThe current findings suggest that B. cereus SA1 could be used as a thermotolerant bacterium for the mitigation of heat stress damage in soybean plants and could be commercialized as a biofertilizer only in case found non-pathogenic.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptome in moss Physcomitrella patens CNGCb null mutant at 25 and 34 degrees C for 30 minutes. Results provide insight into role of CNGCb in acquired thermotolerance induced by non-lethal heat treatment. Typically at dawn of a hot summer day, land plants need precise molecular thermometers to sense harmless increments in the ambient temperature to timely develop a heat-shock response (HSR) and accumulate protective heat shock proteins (Hsps), in anticipation of upcoming harmful temperatures at mid-day. Here, we found that the CNGCb gene from Physcomitrella patens and its Arabidopsis ortholog CNGC2, encode for a component of cyclic nucleotide gated Ca2+ channels acting as the primary thermosensors of land plant cells. Disruption of CNGCb or CNGC2 produced a hyper-thermosensitive phenotype, giving rise to a HSR and acquired thermotolerance at significantly milder heat-priming treatments than in wild type plants. In an aequorin-expressing moss, CNGCb loss-of-function caused altered Ca2+ signaling and a sustained Ca2+ influx. Patch clamp recordings on moss protoplasts showed the presence of three distinct thermo-responsive Ca2+-channels in wild type cells. Deletion of CNGCb led to a total absence of one, and it increased the open probability of the remaining two thermo-responsive Ca2+ channels. Thus, both in Arabidopsis and moss, CNGC2 and CNGCb are expected to form with other related CNGCs, heteromeric Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane that respond to mild increments in the ambient temperature by triggering an optimal HSR, leading to the onset of plant acquired thermotolerance. The WT moss tissues were heat-shocked for a half an hour at 34°C and 38°C and CNGCb at 25and 34°C followed by liquid nitrogen freezing. Total RNA was isolated using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and two biological replicate samples for each treatment, were extracted. An Agilent-certified microarray service lab (MOgene, LC, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to verify the integrity of the RNA and perform the microarray experiments. Two biological replicates were performed.
