Project description:Cell adhesion in plants is mediated predominantly by pectins, a group of complex cell wall associated polysaccharides. An Arabidopsis mutant, friable1 (frb1), was identified through a screen of T-DNA insertion lines that exhibited defective cell adhesion. Interestingly, the frb1 plants displayed both cell and organ dissociations and also ectopic organ fusions. The FRB1 gene encodes a Golgi-localized, plant specific protein with only weak sequence similarities to known proteins (DUF246). Unlike other cell adhesion deficient mutants, frb1 mutants do not have reduced levels of adhesion related cell wall polymers, such as pectins. Instead, FRB1 affects the abundance of galactose- and arabinose-containing oligosaccharides in the Golgi. Furthermore, frb1 mutants displayed alteration in pectin methylesterification, cell wall associated extensins and xyloglucan microstructure. We propose that abnormal FRB1 action has pleiotropic consequences on wall architecture, affecting both the extensin and pectin matrices, with consequent changes to the biomechanical properties of the wall and middle lamella, thereby influencing cell-cell adhesion. Microarrays were used to determine the differences in global expression of friable1 mutant plants, which have cell adhesion defects, and compared these to wild-type plants. RNA was extracted from seedlings grown on 0.5X MS for 10 days under constant illumination.

Project description:Adjacent plant cells are connected by specialized cell wall regions, called middle lamellae, which influence critical agricultural characteristics, including fruit ripening and organ abscission. Middle lamellae are enriched in pectin polysaccharides, specifically homogalacturonan (HG). Pectins are made in the Golgi apparatus by the coordinated action of transporters and enzymes. Here, in this project, we identify a plant-specific Arabidopsis DUF1068 protein, called NKS1/ELMO4, that is required for middle lamellae integrity and cell adhesion. We did an immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) analysis to identify potential interactors of NKS1. And we also performed an IP-MS analysis of QUA1, which is one of the interactors of NKS1.

Project description:The cell wall is among the first plant structures encountered by necrotrophic fungal pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea. The composition of plant cell walls varies depending on the species, type of cell or tissue, and stage of development. Cell walls are important reservoirs of energy-rich sugars for pathogens, but also are barriers that impair colonization of host tissues. Growing fungal hyphae secrete enzymes that hydrolyze cell wall polysaccharides. Degradation of wall polysaccharides provides nutrients for the pathogen and improves the access of secreted Botrytis enzymes to all host cell wall targets and cytoplasmic constituents. Destruction of host cell walls results in tissue maceration, a hallmark of diseases caused by Botrytis. The Botrytis genome encodes 1,155 predicted carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) genes; products of 275 are potentially secreted. Transcriptome sequencing identified Botrytis CAZy genes expressed during infections of lettuce leaves, ripe tomato fruit and grape berries. On all three hosts, Botrytis expresses a common group of 229 predicted CAZy genes including 28 pectin-modifying enzymes, 21 hemicellulose-modifying proteins, 18 enzymes targeting pectin and hemicellulose side-branches, and 16 enzymes that may degrade cellulose. Pectin polysaccharides are abundant in grape and tomato cell walls, but lettuce leaf walls are predominantly hemicelluloses and cellulose. These results suggest that Botrytis targets similar wall polysaccharide networks; e.g., pectins, on leaves and fruit, but also attacks unique host wall polysaccharide substrates The diversity of the Botrytis CAZy proteins may be partly responsible for its wide host range. 3 biological replicates consisting of groups of infected tomato fruits from different plants

Project description:Gall formation on the belowground parts of plants infected with Plasmodiophora brassicae is the result of extensive host cellular reprogramming. The development of these structures is a consequence of increased cell proliferation followed by massive enlargement of cells colonised with the pathogen. Drastic changes in cellular growth patterns create local deformities in the roots and hypocotyl giving rise to mechanical tensions within the tissue of these organs. Host cell wall extensibility and recomposition accompanies growth of the gall, influences pathogen spread and also pathogen life cycle progression. Demethylation of pectin within the extracellular matrix may play an important role in P. brassicae-driven hypertrophy of host underground organs. Through proteomic analysis of the cell wall we identified proteins accumulating in the galls developing on the underground parts of Arabidopsis thaliana plants infected with P. brassicae. One of the key proteins identified was the pectin methylesterase PME18; we further characterised its expression and conducted functional and anatomic studies in the knock-out mutant and used Raman spectroscopy to study the status of pectin in P. brassicae infected galls. We found that late stages of gall formation are accompanied with increased levels of Pectin Methylesterase 18 (PME18). We have also shown, that the massive enlargement of cells colonised with P. brassicae coincides with decreases in pectin methylation. In pme18-1 knock-out mutants P. brassicae could still induce demethylation; however, the galls in this line were smaller and cellular expansion was less pronounced. Alteration in pectin demethylation in the host resulted in changes in pathogen distribution and slowed down disease progression. To conclude, P. brassicae driven host organ hypertrophy observed during clubroot disease is accompanied by pectin demethylation in the extracellular matrix. The pathogen hijacks endogenous host mechanisms involved in cell wall loosening to create an optimal cellular environment for completion of its life cycle and eventual release of resting spores facilitated by degradation of demethylated pectin polymers.

Project description:Plants have evolved cell wall integrity signaling pathways to maintain cell wall homeostasis during rapid growth and in response to environmental stress. The cell wall leucine-rich repeat extensins LRX3/4/5, the RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF) peptides RALF22/23, and FERONIA (FER) function as a module to regulate plant growth and salt stress responses via the sense of cell wall integrity. However, the intracellular signaling pathways that mediate the effects of the LRX3/4/5-RALF22/23-FER module are still largely unknown. Here, we report that jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and abscisic acid (ABA) accumulate constitutively in lrx345 and fer mutants. Blocking JA pathway rescues the retarded growth phenotype of the lrx345 and fer-4 mutants, while disruption of ABA biosynthesis suppresses the salt-hypersensitivity of these mutants. Many salt stress-responsive genes display abnormal expression patterns in the lrx345 and fer-4 mutants, as well as in wild type plants treated with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an inhibitor of pectin methylesterases, suggesting that the cell wall integrity is a critical factor that determines the expression of stress-responsive genes. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is constitutively increased in the lrx345 and fer-4 mutants, and inhibition of ROS accumulation suppresses the salt-hypersensitivity of these mutants. Together, our results suggest that the LRX3/4/5-RALF22/23-FER module controls plant growth and salt stress responses by regulating hormonal homeostasis and ROS accumulation.

Project description:Pectins localize in the primary cell wall and consist of multiblock co?polymers among which homogalacturonan (HG) is the simplest and most abundant form. Methylesterification pattern of HG is tuned by pectin methylesterases (PMEs), which activity is itself controlled by specific inhibitors or PMEIs. PME?mediated regulation of HG methylesterification plays a major role in controlling several developmental processes, including seed germination and dark grown hypocotyl elongation. Arabidopsis PME36 is preferentially expressed during the late stages of silique development and, using the knock?out mutant pme36-1, we showed that PME36 is required to implement the characteristic pattern of demethylesterified pectins in mature seed. However, although this pattern was strongly impaired in pme36-1 mature seed, no phenotypical change was observed in the mutant during seed germination and seedling dark growth, suggesting the existence of a compensatory mechanism overcoming the defect in pectin demethylesterification. To get insight into this mechanism, a transcriptomic analysis by microarrays was performed on pme36-1 and Col0 wild-type, in seed at two early stages of germination, preceding tegument rupture: 16 hours and 24 hours after transfer from cold room (stratification) to dark growth condition.

Project description:Cytokinin signaling pathway, that is mediated by Arabidopsis Response Regulators (ARRs) proteins, has gained functional relevance in the modulation of plant disease resistance responses. We describe here a novel function of ARR6 in the regulation of Arabidopsis immunity and cell wall composition. arr6 mutants were found to be more susceptible and resistant, respectively, to the vascular bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum GMI1000 and the necrotrophic fungus Plectosphaerella cucumerina BMM. In contrast, transgenic Arabidopsis lines overexpressing ARR6 showed the opposite phenotypes, further supporting a role of ARR6 in regulating disease resistance responses. Transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses of arr6 revealed that canonical immune pathways, like those modulated by defensive phytohormones or triggered by Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns, are not altered in arr6 plants, suggesting that novel, uncharacterized defensive pathways explain arr6-mediated resistance. We identified alterations in the composition of arr6 cell walls in comparison to that of wild-type plants walls. Remarkably, pectin-enriched cell wall fractions extracted from arr6 walls trigger more intense immune responses than those activated by the corresponding wild-type fractions. Our data suggest that arr6 pectin wall fraction contained specific pentose-based oligosaccharides that would function as non-yet described wall-related Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs). These data supported a novel function of ARR6 in the regulation of cell-wall mediated immunity and reinforce the relevance of plant cell wall composition in the modulation of specific disease resistance responses.
