Evidence for modification of protein phosphorylation by cytokinins.

ABSTRACT: Kinetin stimulated phosphorylation of protein in floated Chinese-cabbage leaf discs, but inhibited protein phosphorylation in nuclei+chloroplast extracts from Chinese-cabbage or tobacco leaves. Kinetin also inhibited protein phosphorylation in isolated tobacco nuclei or nuclei from carrot secondary-phloem tissue. Purified Chinese-cabbage leaf ribosomes exhibited protein kinase activity which was inhibited by kinetin and zeatin. The ribosome-associated kinase responded to kinetin and zeatin differently from that associated with nuclei+chloroplast preparations. Protein phosphorylation in vitro was not affected by adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate, indol-3-ylacetic acid or gibberellic acid. It was only inhibited by N(9)-unsubstituted purines, among which the known cytokinins were the most effective inhibitors. The results are discussed in relation to possible similarities between the effects of cytokinins in plant tissues and the effects of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate in animal tissues. Both compounds appear to modify the activity of protein kinases and both affect many different cellular processes.

Extracellular Protein Phosphorylation, the Neglected Side of the Modification.

Project description:The very existence of extracellular phosphorylation has been questioned for a long time, although casein phosphorylation was discovered a century ago. In addition, several modification sites localized on secreted proteins or on extracellular or lumenal domains of transmembrane proteins have been catalogued in large scale phosphorylation analyses, though in most such studies this aspect of cellular localization was not considered. Our review presents examples when additional analyses were performed on already public data sets that revealed a wealth of information about this "neglected side" of the modification. We also sum up accumulated knowledge about extracellular phosphorylation, including the discovery of Golgi-residing kinases and the special difficulties encountered in targeted analyses. We hope future phosphorylation studies will not ignore the existence of phosphorylation outside of the cell, and further discoveries will shed more light on its biological role.

The Origins and Roles of Methylthiolated Cytokinins: Evidence From Among Life Kingdoms.

Project description:Cytokinins (CKs) are a group of adenine-derived, small signaling molecules of crucial importance for growth and multiple developmental processes in plants. Biological roles of classical CKs: isopentenyladenine (iP), trans and cis isomers of zeatin (tZ, cZ), and dihydrozeatin, have been studied extensively and their functions are well defined in many aspects of plant physiology. In parallel, extensive knowledge exists for genes involved in tRNA modifications that lead to the production of tRNA-bound methylthiolated CKs, especially in bacterial and mammalian systems. However, not much is known about the origins, fates, and possible functions of the unbound methylthiolated CKs (2MeS-CKs) in biological systems. 2MeS-CKs are the free base or riboside derivatives of iP or Z-type CKs, modified by the addition of a thiol group (-SH) at position 2 of the adenine ring that is subsequently methylated. Based on the evidence to date, these distinctive CK conjugates are derived exclusively via the tRNA degradation pathway. This review summarizes the knowledge on the probable steps involved in the biosynthesis of unbound 2MeS-CKs across diverse kingdoms of life. Furthermore, it provides examples of CK profiles of organisms from which the presence of 2MeS-CKs have been detected and confirms a close association and balance between the production of classical CKs and 2MeS-CKs. Finally, it discusses available reports regarding the possible physiological functions of 2MeS-CKs in different biological systems.

Posttranslational modification of the RHO of plants protein RACB by phosphorylation and cross-kingdom conserved ubiquitination.

Project description:Small RHO-type G-proteins act as signaling hubs and master regulators of polarity in eukaryotic cells. Their activity is tightly controlled, as defective RHO signaling leads to aberrant growth and developmental defects. Two major processes regulate G-protein activity: canonical shuttling between different nucleotide bound states and posttranslational modification (PTM), of which the latter can support or suppress RHO signaling, depending on the individual PTM. In plants, regulation of Rho of plants (ROPs) signaling activity has been shown to act through nucleotide exchange and GTP hydrolysis, as well as through lipid modification, but there is little data available on phosphorylation or ubiquitination of ROPs. Hence, we applied proteomic analyses to identify PTMs of the barley ROP RACB. We observed in vitro phosphorylation by barley ROP binding kinase 1 and in vivo ubiquitination of RACB. Comparative analyses of the newly identified RACB phosphosites and human RHO protein phosphosites revealed conservation of modified amino acid residues, but no overlap of actual phosphorylation patterns. However, the identified RACB ubiquitination site is conserved in all ROPs from Hordeum vulgare, Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa and in mammalian Rac1 and Rac3. Point mutation of this ubiquitination site leads to stabilization of RACB. Hence, this highly conserved lysine residue may regulate protein stability across different kingdoms.

Evidence for different kinases in thylakoid protein phosphorylation.

Project description:Thylakoid protein phosphorylation was facilitated in darkness by using the ferredoxin-NADPH system. CoCl2 and DBMIB (2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone) were potent inhibitors of LHCP (light-harvesting chlorophyll-binding protein) phosphorylation, but 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl-urea and atrazine had no significant effect. Differential effects on phosphorylation of the 9 kDa polypeptide and LHCP were observed in darkness with DBMIB and certain other inhibitors specific for Photosystem-II electron transport. Similarly, during illumination of intact chloroplasts or of the reconstituted chloroplast system, a differential action of bicarbonate was observed on the relative phosphorylation of the two proteins. The degree of phosphorylation of the 9 kDa polypeptide was increased in the presence of bicarbonate compared with its absence, whereas that of LHCP was relatively unchanged. Changes in the degree of phosphorylation of the 32 kDa polypeptide in these experiments did not correlate consistently with changes in phosphorylation of either LHCP or the 9 kDa polypeptide, although changes in the 32 kDa polypeptide more often paralleled phosphorylation of the 9 kDa polypeptide rather than the phosphorylation of LHCP. These observations suggest that the protein kinase that phosphorylates LHCP is distinct from that which phosphorylates the 9 kDa polypeptide.

PDSM, a motif for phosphorylation-dependent SUMO modification.

Project description:SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) modification regulates many cellular processes, including transcription. Although sumoylation often occurs on specific lysines within the consensus tetrapeptide PsiKxE, other modifications, such as phosphorylation, may regulate the sumoylation of a substrate. We have discovered PDSM (phosphorylation-dependent sumoylation motif), composed of a SUMO consensus site and an adjacent proline-directed phosphorylation site (PsiKxExxSP). The highly conserved motif regulates phosphorylation-dependent sumoylation of multiple substrates, such as heat-shock factors (HSFs), GATA-1, and myocyte enhancer factor 2. In fact, the majority of the PDSM-containing proteins are transcriptional regulators. Within the HSF family, PDSM is conserved between two functionally distinct members, HSF1 and HSF4b, whose transactivation capacities are repressed through the phosphorylation-dependent sumoylation. As the first recurrent sumoylation determinant beyond the consensus tetrapeptide, the PDSM provides a valuable tool in predicting new SUMO substrates.

SUMOylation-regulated protein phosphorylation, evidence from quantitative phosphoproteomics analyses.

Project description:Protein modification is critical for the regulation of protein functions. Cross-talks among different types of protein modifications should yield concerted and coordinated regulatory networks for physiological functions. Here we have employed system-wide and quantitative phosphoproteomics analyses to reveal a global cross-talk for SUMOylation-modulated phosphorylation. Furthermore, as specific examples, we have shown that the ? subunit of casein kinase II is SUMOylated and that this affects the phosphorylation of its substrates. SUMO-regulated phosphorylation is involved in cell cycle control. Our data demonstrate an interplay between protein SUMOylation and phosphorylation and imply a regulatory role for this SUMOylation-modulated phosphorylation.

Evidence against an involvement of cyclic nucleotides in the induction of betacyanin synthesis by cytokinins.

Project description:1. A wide range of purine bases, nucleosides and cyclic nucleotides were shown to induce betacyanin synthesis in Amaranthus seedlings. 2. The induction of pigment by benzyladenine, dibutyryl cyclic AMP or cyclic AMP was not potentiated by aminophylline. Aminophylline was shown to inhibit Amaranthus cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. 4. Incubation of seedlings with aminophylline inhibited the conversion of 6-[G--3H]benzyladenine into presumed 9- and 7-glucosylbenzyladenine. 5. Induction of betacyanin synthesis by 6-benzyladenine or by exposure to red light was not accompanied by changes in the total cyclic AMP content in seedlings. 6. It is concluded that the inducers tested act as cytokinin analogues; no evidence was obtained to support cyclic AMP as an intermediate in the induction process.

Modification of yeast ribosomal proteins. Phosphorylation.

Project description:Two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic analysis of yeast ribosomal proteins labelled in vivo with 32PO43- revealed that the proteins S2 and S10 of the 40S ribosomal subunit, and the proteins L9, L30, L44 and L45 of the 60S ribosomal subunit, are phosphorylated in vivo. Most of the phosphate groups appeared to be linked to serine residues. Teh number of phosphate groups per molecule of phosphorylated protein species ranged from 0.01 to 0.79. Since most of the phosphorylated ribosomal proteins appear to associate with the pre-ribosomal particles at a very late stage of ribosome assembly, phosphorylation is more likely to play a role in the functioning of the ribosome than in its assembly.

Arabidopsis ABCG14 forms a homodimeric transporter for multiple cytokinins and mediates long-distance transport of isopentenyladenine-type cytokinins.

Project description:Cytokinins (CKs), primarily trans-zeatin (tZ) and isopentenyladenine (iP) types, play critical roles in plant growth, development, and various stress responses. Long-distance transport of tZ-type CKs meidated by Arabidopsis ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily G14 (AtABCG14) has been well studied; however, less is known about the biochemical properties of AtABCG14 and its transporter activity toward iP-type CKs. Here we reveal the biochemical properties of AtABCG14 and provide evidence that it is also required for long-distance transport of iP-type CKs. AtABCG14 formed homodimers in human (Homo sapiens) HEK293T, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and Arabidopsis cells. Transporter activity assays of AtABCG14 in Arabidopsis, tobacco, and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) showed that AtABCG14 may directly transport multiple CKs, including iP- and tZ-type species. AtABCG14 expression was induced by iP in a tZ-type CK-deficient double mutant (cypDM) of CYP735A1 and CYP735A2. The atabcg14 cypDM triple mutant exhibited stronger CK-deficiency phenotypes than cypDM. Hormone profiling, reciprocal grafting, and 2H6-iP isotope tracer experiments showed that root-to-shoot and shoot-to-root long-distance transport of iP-type CKs were suppressed in atabcg14 cypDM and atabcg14. These results suggest that AtABCG14 participates in three steps of the circular long-distance transport of iP-type CKs: xylem loading in the root for shootward transport, phloem unloading in the shoot for shoot distribution, and phloem unloading in the root for root distribution. We found that AtABCG14 displays transporter activity toward multiple CK species and revealed its versatile roles in circular long-distance transport of iP-type CKs. These findings provide new insights into the transport mechanisms of CKs and other plant hormones.

Cytokinins are central regulators of cambial activity.

Project description:The roots and stems of dicotyledonous plants thicken by the cell proliferation in the cambium. Cambial proliferation changes in response to environmental factors; however, the molecular mechanisms that regulate cambial activity are largely unknown. The quadruple Arabidopsis thaliana mutant atipt1;3;5;7, in which 4 genes encoding cytokinin biosynthetic isopentenyltransferases are disrupted by T-DNA insertion, was unable to form cambium and showed reduced thickening of the root and stem. The atipt3 single mutant, which has moderately decreased levels of cytokinins, exhibited decreased root thickening without any other recognizable morphological changes. Addition of exogenously supplied cytokinins to atipt1;3;5;7 reactivated the cambium in a dose-dependent manner. When an atipt1;3;5;7 shoot scion was grafted onto WT root stock, both the root and shoot grew normally and trans-zeatin-type (tZ-type) cytokinins in the shoot were restored to WT levels, but isopentenyladenine-type cytokinins in the shoot remained unchanged. Conversely, when a WT shoot was grafted onto an atipt1;3;5;7 root, both the root and shoot grew normally and isopentenyladenine-type cytokinins in the root were restored to WT levels, but tZ-type cytokinins were only partially restored. Collectively, it can be concluded that cytokinins are important regulators of cambium development and that production of cytokinins in either the root or shoot is sufficient for normal development of both the root and shoot.
