Project description:Cereal crops accumulate starch in seeds as an energy reserve. Sucrose synthase (SuSy) plays an important role in grain starch synthesis. In this study, ZmSUS1 was transformed into maize inbred line KN5585, and transgenic plants were obtained. Compared with the control, the content and activity of SuSy were significantly increased, the amylose content in mature seeds of transgenic maize increased by 41.1-69.2%, the total starch content increased by 5.0-13.5%, The 100-grain weight increased by 19.0-26.2% and the average diameter of starch granules increased by 10.8-17.2%. These results indicated that overexpression of ZmSUS1 can significantly improve the traits of maize kernels and obtain new lines with high amylose content. It was also found that ZmSUS1 may increase the amylose content by regulating the expression of Shrunken2 (Sh2) and Brittle2 (Bt2) which encodes endosperm ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) size subunits, and the expression of Granule bound starchsynthase1 (GBSS1) and Starch synthase1 (SS1) which encodes starch synthase. This study proved the important role of ZmSUS1 in maize starch synthesis, and provided a new technology strategy for improving corn starch content and yield.

Project description:Waxy starch has an important influence on the qualities of breads. Generally, grain weight and yield in waxy wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are significantly lower than in bread wheat. In this study, we performed the first proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of starch granule-binding proteins by comparing the waxy wheat cultivar Shannong 119 and the bread wheat cultivar Nongda 5181. These results indicate that reduced amylose content does not affect amylopectin synthesis, but it causes significant reduction of total starch biosynthesis, grain size, weight and grain yield. Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis identified 40 differentially expressed protein (DEP) spots in waxy and non-waxy wheats, which belonged mainly to starch synthase (SS) I, SS IIa and granule-bound SS I. Most DEPs involved in amylopectin synthesis showed a similar expression pattern during grain development, suggesting relatively independent amylose and amylopectin synthesis pathways. Phosphoproteome analysis of starch granule-binding proteins, using TiO2 microcolumns and LC-MS/MS, showed that the total number of phosphoproteins and their phosphorylation levels in ND5181 were significantly higher than in SN119, but proteins controlling amylopectin synthesis had similar phosphorylation levels. Our results revealed the lack of amylose did not affect the expression and phosphorylation of the starch granule-binding proteins involved in amylopectin biosynthesis.

Project description:Waxy starch has an important influence on bread dough and the qualities of breads. Generally, grain weight and yield in waxy wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are significantly lower than in bread wheat. In this study, we performed the first proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of starch granule-binding proteins by comparing the waxy wheat cultivar Shannong 119 and the bread wheat cultivar Nongda 5181. The waxy and non-waxy wheats had similar starch granule morphological features and developmental patterns, and similar amylopectin quality in the grain. These results indicate that reduced amylose content does not affect amylopectin synthesis, but it causes significant reduction of total starch biosynthesis, grain size, weight and yield. Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis identified 40 differentially expressed protein (DEP) spots in waxy and non-waxy wheats, which belonged mainly to starch synthase (SS) I, SS IIa and granule-bound SS I. Most DEPs involved in amylopectin synthesis showed a similar expression pattern during grain development, suggesting relatively independent amylose and amylopectin synthesis pathways. Phosphoproteome analysis of starch granule-binding proteins, using TiO2 microcolumns and LC-MS/MS, showed that the total number of phosphoproteins and their phosphorylation levels in ND5181 were significantly higher than in SN119, but proteins controlling amylopectin synthesis had similar phosphorylation levels. Dynamic transcriptional expression profiling of starch biosynthesis-related genes indicated similar transcriptional expression profiles in both cultivars. Our results revealed that phosphorylation modifications played critical roles in amylose and amylopectin biosynthesis, but the lack of amylose did not affect the expression and phosphorylation of the starch granule-binding proteins involved in amylopectin biosynthesis.

Project description:PHS1 is a plastidial α-glucan phosphorylase that can elongate and degrade maltooligosaccharides (MOS), but its exact physiological role in plants is poorly understood. Here, we discover a specialised role of PHS1 in establishing the unique bimodal characteristic of starch granules in the wheat endosperm. Wheat endosperm contains large A-type granules that initiate at early grain development, and small B-type granules that initiate in later grain development. We demonstrate that PHS1 interacts with BGC1 – a carbohydrate-binding protein essential for normal B-type granule initiation. Mutants of tetraploid durum wheat deficient in all homeologs of PHS1 had normal A-type granules, but fewer and larger B-type granules. Further, using a double mutant defective in both PHS1 and BGC1, we show that PHS1 is exclusively involved in B-type granule initiation. Grain size and starch content were not affected by the mutations. In leaves, the total starch content and number of starch granules per chloroplast were not affected by loss of PHS1, suggesting that its role in granule initiation in wheat is limited to the endosperm. We therefore propose that the initiation of A- and B-type granules occur by distinct biochemical mechanisms, where PHS1 plays an exclusive role in B-type granule initiation.

Project description:An Arabidopsis double mutant lacking both the cytosolic Disproportionating enzyme 2 (DPE2) and the plastidial Glucan phosphorylase (PHS1) revealed a unique starch metabolism. Dpe2/phs1 was reported to have a dwarf growth phenotype, an uneven starch distribution in the rosettes, and a strongly reduced starch granule number per chloroplast when grown under diurnal rhythm. Here we analyzed dpe2/phs1 in more detail and found that it showed three distinct growth periods. In young plants the starch granule number was similar to Col-0, then the starch granule number decreased massively down to one or no granule per chloroplast followed by an increase of the granule number. Thus, in dpe2/phs1 the control over the starch granule number is impaired and it is not defective in starch granule initiation. The data also show that the granule number is not fixed and is regulated over the entire plant growth. Further, also the chloroplasts revealed alterations during these three periods with a partially strong aberrant morphology in the middle phase. Interestingly, the unique metabolism perpetuated if starch degradation is further impaired by additionally lack of Isoamylase 3 and Starch excess 4. Transcriptomic studies and metabolic profiling of dpe2/phs1 revealed a gene co-regulation of most starch metabolism related genes and a clear metabolic separation. Further most senescence-induced genes were found to up-regulated more than 2-fold in the starch-less mature leave. Thus, dpe2/phs1 is a unique source to understand especially the starch granule number regulation in detail. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3 stages from both Col-0 and dpe2/phs1.

Project description:The starch, acting as the major energy-producing component of the daily diet, is the main carbohydrate in mammal nutrition. However, the nutritional value of starch can vary widely depending upon its source and site of digestion. The distinct physiological responses were previously observed both in human and other mammals, but still little is known about the underlying mechanisms regarding the metabolic shifts due to the intake of various dietary starches. Here, we assessed the overall metabolic changes in weaned pigs induced by different dietary starch sources at the transcriptome level. Sixteen weaned pigs (DurocÃLandraceÃYorkshire) were selected and randomly allotted to diets containing either wheat (WH) or cassava (CA) starch as the energy source (n=8). We measured serum metabolites and hormones and generated transcriptional profiles of liver. 648 genes in liver were differentially expressed in response to dietary starch sources. Pathway analysis indicated that dietary starch sources altered both carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in liver. In contrast, CA may be more healthful as dietary energy source than WH by down-regulating lipogenesis and steroidogenesis in liver. Sixteen weaned pigs (DurocÃLandraceÃYorkshire) with an average initial body weight of 7.37±0.25 kg were selected and randomly allotted to two dietary treatments (either wheat or cassava starch as the energy source) for 21 d. At the end of the trial, the liver tissue were collected for transcriptome analysis using Agilent porcine microarrays.

Project description:The fruit physiology of banana cultivars is poorly understood. To study the ripening of plantain, a high-throughput proteomics experiment was executed and compared to the better known Cavendish. The starch content in plantain was at the onset of ripening very high and decreased to undetectable levels. Multivariate analysis of the proteins was performed correlated to the starch dynamics. The drop in sucrose synthase and the raise of acid invertase during ripening indicated a change in the balance of the sucrose fate. During ripening, sugars may no longer be available for respiration since they are stored in the vacuoles, making citrate the preferred respiratory substrate. One isoform of alfa amylase acted during the early phases of starch breakdown while another acted during the later phases when the starch branches are simpler in structure. We found significant variety specific differences in granule-bound starch synthase, alpha- and beta amylases, cell wall invertase and sucrose synthase that corroborate the difference in starch content/structure between both bananas. Differences in small heat shock proteins and in the cell wall-modifying enzyme xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase support respectively the presumed higher carotenoid content and the firmer fruit structure of plantains.

Project description:Starch is the primary form of reserve carbohydrate storage in plants. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a monocot whose reserve starch is organized into compounded structures within the amyloplast, rather than a simple starch grain (SG). The mechanism governing the assembly of the compound SG from polyhedral granules in apposition, however, remains unknown. To further characterize the proteome associated with these compounded structures, three distinct methods of starch granule preparation (dispersion, microsieve, and flotation) were performed. Phase separation of peptides (aqueous trypsin-shaving and isopropanol solubilization of residual peptides) isolated starch granule-associated proteins (SGAPs) from the distal proteome of the amyloplast and the proximal ‘amylome’ (the amyloplastic proteome), respectively. These two rice starch-associated peptide samples were analyzed using nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (Nano-HPLC-MS/MS). Known and novel proteins as well as septum-like structure (SLS) proteins in the mature rice SG were found. Data mining and gene ontology software were used to categorize these putative plastoskeletal components as a variety of structural elements, including actins, tubulins, tubulin-like proteins, and cementitious elements like reticulata related-like (RER) proteins, tegument proteins, and lectins. Delineating the plastoskeletal proteome begins by understanding how each starch granule isolation procedure affects observed cytoplasmic and plastid proteins. The three methods described herein show how the technique used to isolate SG’s differentially impacts the subsequent proteomic analysis and results obtained. It can thus be concluded that future investigations must make judicious decisions regarding the methodology used in extracting proteomic information from the compound starch granules being assessed, since different methods are shown to yield contrasting results herein.

Project description:Plant-based adhesives, such as the ones made from wheat, have been prominently used for books and paper-based objects and are also used as conservation adhesives. Starch paste originates from starch granules, whereas flour paste encompasses the entire wheat endosperm proteome, offering strong adhesive properties due to gluten proteins. From the conservation perspective, understanding the precise nature of the adhesive is vital, as the longevity, resilience, and reaction to environmental changes can differ substantially between starch and flour-based pastes. We devised a proteomics method to discern the protein content of these pastes. Protocols involved extracting soluble proteins using 0.5 M NaCl and 30 mM Tris-HCl solutions, then targeting insoluble proteins, such as gliadins and glutenins, with a buffer containing 7M urea, 2M thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 40 mM Tris, and 75 mM DTT. Flour paste's proteome is diverse (1942 proteins across 759 groups), contrasting with starch paste's predominant starch-associated protein makeup (218 proteins in 58 groups). Transformation into pastes reduces proteomes' complexity. Testing on historical bookbindings confirmed the use of flour-based glue, rich in gluten and serpins. High levels of deamidation were detected, particularly for glutamine residues, which can impact the solubility and stability of the glue over time.

Project description:High temperature markedly reduces the yields and quality of rice grains. To identify the mechanisms underlying heat stress-induced responses in rice grains, proteomic technique was used. Khao Dawk Mali 105 rice grains at the milky, doughy, and mature stages of development after flowering were treated at 40 °C for 3 days. Aromatic compounds were decreased in rice grains under heat stress. The protein abundance involved in glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle, including glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase, was changed in milky and doughy grains after heat treatment; however, no changes in mature grains. The abundance involved in amino acid metabolism was increased in doughy grains, but decreased in milky grains. In addition, the abundance involved in starch and sucrose metabolism, such as starch synthase, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, granule-bound starch synthase, and alpha amylase, was decreased in milky grains, but increased in doughy grains. A number of redox homeostasis-related proteins, such as ascorbate peroxidase and peroxiredoxin, were increased in developing rice grains treated with heat stress. These results suggest that in response to heat stress, the abundance of numerous proteins involved in redox homeostasis and carbohydrate biosynthetic pathways may play a major role in the development of KDML105 rice grains.
