Phosphoproteomics reveals regulation of secondary metabolites in Mahonia bealei under ultraviolet-B radiation

ABSTRACT: Mahonia Bealei was used as a traditional Chinese medicine for its high alkaloid content. Previous research found that alkaloid and flavonoid contents in the M. bealei leaves increased under combinatory treatments of ultraviolet B and dark. In order to explore the underlying response mechanism, TiO2 material enrichment and mass-based label-free quantitative proteomics techniques were used for phosphoproteomics analysis of M. bealei leaves under ultraviolet B. ATP content, photosynthetic pigment content, and some enzymatic/non-enzymatic indicators increased in the leaves of M. bealei under UV-B radiation. Phosphoproteomics study found that under the UV-B radiation, phosphoproteins related to MAPK signal transduction and plant hormone brassinosteroid signaling pathway were varied greatly. Phosphoproteins related to photosynthesis, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and amino acid synthesis/metabolism pathway were also significantly changed. These results suggested that the ultraviolet B radiation activated oxidative stress system, MAPK signal transduction pathway, and photosynthetic energy metabolism pathway. These changes are important for the redox reactions in secondary metabolism and the accumulation of secondary metabolites in M. bealei leaves under UV-B radiation.
