Bulb, leaf, scape and flower samples of British bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) were collected regularly for one growth period. Methanolic extracts of freeze-dried and ground samples showed antitrypanosomal activity, giving more than 50% inhibition, for 20 out of 41 samples. High-resolution mass spectrometry was used in the dereplication of the methanolic extracts of the different plant parts. The results revealed differences in the chemical profile with bulb samples being distinctly different from all aerial parts. High molecular weight metabolites were more abundant in the flowers, shoots and leaves compared to smaller molecular weight ones in the bulbs. The anti-trypanosomal activity of the extracts was linked to the accumulation of high molecular weight compounds, which were matched with saponin glycosides, while triterpenoids and steroids occurred in the inactive extracts. Dereplication studies were employed to identify the significant metabolites via chemotaxonomic filtration and considering their previously reported bioactivities. Molecular networking was implemented to look for similarities in fragmentation patterns between the isolated saponin glycoside at m/z 1445.64 [M + formic-H](-) equivalent to C64H104O33 and the putatively found active metabolite at m/z 1283.58 [M + formic-H](-) corresponding to scillanoside L-1. A combination of metabolomics and bioactivity-guided approaches resulted in the isolation of a norlanostane-type saponin glycoside with antitrypanosoma I activity of 98.9% inhibition at 20 mu M.
Plant–pathogen interactions have been widely studied, but mostly from the site of the plant secondary defense. Less is known about the effects of pathogen infection on plant primary metabolism. The possibility to transform a fluorescing protein into prokaryotes is a promising phenotyping tool to follow a bacterial infection in plants in a noninvasive manner. In the present study, virulent and avirulent Pseudomonas syringae strains were transformed with green fluorescent protein (GFP) to follow the spread of bacteria in vivo by imaging Pulse-Amplitude-Modulation (PAM) fluorescence and conventional binocular microscopy. The combination of various wavelengths and filters allowed simultaneous detection of GFP-transformed bacteria, PAM chlorophyll fluorescence, and phenolic fluorescence from pathogen-infected plant leaves. The results show that fluorescence imaging allows spatiotemporal monitoring of pathogen spread as well as phenolic and chlorophyll fluorescence in situ, thus providing a novel means to study complex plant–pathogen interactions and relate the responses of primary and secondary metabolism to pathogen spread and multiplication. The study establishes a deeper understanding of imaging data and their implementation into disease screening.
The control of energy homeostasis is of pivotal importance for all living organisms. In the last years emerged the idea that many stress responses that are apparently unrelated, are actually united by a common increase of the cellular energy demand. Therefore, the so called energy signaling is activated by many kind of stresses and is responsible for the activation of the general stress response. In Arabidopsis thaliana the protein family SnF1- related protein kinases (SnRK1) is involved in the regulation of many physiological processes but is more known for its involvement in the regulation of the energy homeostasis in response to various stresses. To the SnRK1 protein family belong SnRK1.1 (also known as KIN10), SnRK1.2 (KIN11), and SnRK1.3 (KIN12). SnRK1 exerts its function regulating directly the activity of metabolic enzymes or those of key transcription factors (TFs). The only TFs regulated by SnRK1 identified so far is the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) 63. bZIP63 belongs to the C group of bZIPs (C-bZIPs) protein family together with bZIP9, bZIP10, and bZIP25. SnRK1.1 phosphorylates bZIP63 on three amino acids residues, serine (S) 29, S294, and S300. The phosphorylation of tbZIP63 is strongly related to the energy status of the plant, shifting from almost absent during the normal growth to strongly phosphorylated when the plant is exposed to extended dark. bZIPs normally bind the DNA as dimer in order to regulate the expression of their target genes. C-bZIPs preferentially form dimers with S1-bZIPs, constituting the so called C/S1- bZIPs network. The SnRk1 dependent phosphorylation of bZIP63 regulates its activation potential and its dimerization properties. In particular bZIP63 shift its dimerization preferences according to its phosphorylation status. The non-phosphorylated form of bZIP63 dimerize bZIP1, the phosphorylates ones, instead, forms dimer with bZIP1, bZIP11, and bZIP63 its self. Together with bZIP63, S1-bZIPs are important mediator of part of the huge transcriptional reprogramming induced by SnRK1 in response to extended dark. S1-bZIPs regulate, indeed, the expression of 4'000 of the 10'000 SnRK1-regulated genes in response to energy deprivation. In particular S1-bZIPs are very important for the regulation of many genes encoding for enzymes involved in the amino acid metabolism and for their use as alternative energy source. After the exposition for some hours to extended dark, indeed, the plant make use of every energy substrate and amino acids are considered an important energy source together with lipids and proteins. Interestingly, S1- bZIPs regulate the expression of ETFQO. ETFQO is a unique protein that convoglia the electrons provenienti from the branch chain amino acids catabolism into the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The dimer formed between bZIP63 and bZIP2 recruits SnRK1.1 directly on the chromatin of ETFQO promoter. The recruitment of SnRK1 on ETFQO promoter is associated with its acetylation on the lysine 14 of the histone protein 3 (K14H3). This chromatin modification is normally asociated with an euchromatic status of the DNA and therefore with its transcriptional activation. Beside the particular case of the regulation of ETFQO gene, S1-bZIPs are involved in the regulation of many other genes activated in response of different stresses. bZIP1 is for example an important mediator of the salt stress response. In particular bZIP1 regulates the primary C- and N-metabolism. The expression of bZIP1, in response of both salt ans energy stress seems to be regulated by SnRK1, as it is the expression of bZIP53 and bZIP63.
Beside its involvement in the regulation of the energy stress response and salt response, SnRK1 is the primary activators of the lipids metabolism during see germination. SnRK1, indeed, controls the expression of CALEOSINs and OLEOSINs. Those proteins are very important for lipids remobilization from oil droplets. Without their expression seed germination and subsequent establishment do not take place because of the absence of fuel to sustain these highly energy costly processes, which entirely depend on the catabolism of seed storages.
Background:
In previous studies, the gram-positive firmicute genus Paenibacillus was found with significant abundances in nests of wild solitary bees. Paenibacillus larvae is well-known for beekeepers as a severe pathogen causing the fatal honey bee disease American foulbrood, and other members of the genus are either secondary invaders of European foulbrood or considered a threat to honey bees. We thus investigated whether Paenibacillus is a common bacterium associated with various wild bees and hence poses a latent threat to honey bees visiting the same flowers.
Results:
We collected 202 samples from 82 individuals or nests of 13 bee species at the same location and screened each for Paenibacillus using high-throughput sequencing-based 16S metabarcoding. We then isolated the identified strain Paenibacillus MBD-MB06 from a solitary bee nest and sequenced its genome. We did find conserved toxin genes and such encoding for chitin-binding proteins, yet none specifically related to foulbrood virulence or chitinases. Phylogenomic analysis revealed a closer relationship to strains of root-associated Paenibacillus rather than strains causing foulbrood or other accompanying diseases. We found anti-microbial evidence within the genome, confirmed by experimental bioassays with strong growth inhibition of selected fungi as well as gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Conclusions:
The isolated wild bee associate Paenibacillus MBD-MB06 is a common, but irregularly occurring part of wild bee microbiomes, present on adult body surfaces and guts and within nests especially in megachilids. It was phylogenetically and functionally distinct from harmful members causing honey bee colony diseases, although it shared few conserved proteins putatively toxic to insects that might indicate ancestral predisposition for the evolution of insect pathogens within the group. By contrast, our strain showed anti-microbial capabilities and the genome further indicates abilities for chitin-binding and biofilm-forming, suggesting it is likely a useful associate to avoid fungal penetration of the bee cuticula and a beneficial inhabitant of nests to repress fungal threats in humid and nutrient-rich environments of wild bee nests.
Two-component cyclase opsins of green algae are ATP-dependent and light-inhibited guanylyl cyclases
(2018)
Background:
The green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri are important models for studying light perception and response, expressing many different photoreceptors. More than 10 opsins were reported in C. reinhardtii, yet only two—the channelrhodopsins—were functionally characterized. Characterization of new opsins would help to understand the green algae photobiology and to develop new tools for optogenetics.
Results:
Here we report the characterization of a novel opsin family from these green algae: light-inhibited guanylyl cyclases regulated through a two-component-like phosphoryl transfer, called “two-component cyclase opsins” (2c-Cyclops). We prove the existence of such opsins in C. reinhardtii and V. carteri and show that they have cytosolic N- and C-termini, implying an eight-transmembrane helix structure. We also demonstrate that cGMP production is both light-inhibited and ATP-dependent. The cyclase activity of Cr2c-Cyclop1 is kept functional by the ongoing phosphorylation and phosphoryl transfer from the histidine kinase to the response regulator in the dark, proven by mutagenesis. Absorption of a photon inhibits the cyclase activity, most likely by inhibiting the phosphoryl transfer. Overexpression of Vc2c-Cyclop1 protein in V. carteri leads to significantly increased cGMP levels, demonstrating guanylyl cyclase activity of Vc2c-Cyclop1 in vivo. Live cell imaging of YFP-tagged Vc2c-Cyclop1 in V. carteri revealed a development-dependent, layer-like structure at the immediate periphery of the nucleus and intense spots in the cell periphery.
Conclusions:
Cr2c-Cyclop1 and Vc2c-Cyclop1 are light-inhibited and ATP-dependent guanylyl cyclases with an unusual eight-transmembrane helix structure of the type I opsin domain which we propose to classify as type Ib, in contrast to the 7 TM type Ia opsins. Overexpression of Vc2c-Cyclop1 protein in V. carteri led to a significant increase of cGMP, demonstrating enzyme functionality in the organism of origin. Fluorescent live cell imaging revealed that Vc2c-Cyclop1 is located in the periphery of the nucleus and in confined areas at the cell periphery.
Rhodopsin-cyclases for photocontrol of cGMP/cAMP and 2.3 Å structure of the adenylyl cyclase domain
(2018)
The cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are important second messengers that orchestrate fundamental cellular responses. Here, we present the characterization of the rhodopsinguanylyl cyclase from Catenaria anguillulae (CaRhGC), which produces cGMP in response to green light with a light to dark activity ratio > 1000. After light excitation the putative signaling state forms with tau = 31 ms and decays with tau = 570 ms. Mutations (up to 6) within the nucleotide binding site generate rhodopsin-adenylyl cyclases (CaRhACs) of which the double mutated YFP-CaRhAC (E497K/C566D) is the most suitable for rapid cAMP production in neurons. Furthermore, the crystal structure of the ligand-bound AC domain (2.25 angstrom) reveals detailed information about the nucleotide binding mode within this recently discovered class of enzyme rhodopsin. Both YFP-CaRhGC and YFP-CaRhAC are favorable optogenetic tools for non-invasive, cell-selective, and spatio-temporally precise modulation of cAMP/cGMP with light.
The plant cuticle is a continuous extracellular protective layer covering the outermost surfaces of higher plants that are in contact with the surrounding atmosphere. The primary function of the cuticular lipid membrane, which is mainly composed of biopolymer cutin and cuticular waxes, is to protect the plant organs against uncontrolled water loss. The chemical composition and the biophysical properties of cuticular waxes affect the rate of water diffusion across the cuticle. Fruit transpiration plays an important role in the development and the maintenance of fruit quality. The fruit has been suggested to present better dehydration stress tolerance than the leaf. However, the differences in transpiration and the chemical composition of cuticular waxes between fruit and leaf have yet to be comprehensively investigated.
The present study aims to investigate the water permeability and cuticular wax composition of fruit and leaf cuticles of a wide range of plant species and to elucidate the different roles of the cuticular wax components in the transpiration barrier. To address these objectives, fruit and leaf samples from 17 species were investigated. The cuticular transpiration of intact fruits and astomatous adaxial leaf surfaces and the minimum leaf conductance obtained by leaf drying curves for intact leaves were gravimetrically determined for a variety of plant species. The chemical composition of cuticular waxes of fruits and leaves was thoroughly analysed by gas chromatography with flame ionization and mass spectrometry.
The water permeability of fruits ranged from 3.7 x 10-5 m s-1 (Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca) to 37.4 x 10-5 m s-1 (Coffea arabica), whereas permeability for leaves varied between 1.6 x 10-5 m s-1 (Cornus officinalis) and 4.5 x 10-5 m s-1 (Prunus domestica subsp. syriaca (L.)). The interspecies range of water permeability of fruits was significantly higher than that of leaves. Chemical analyses of the cuticular waxes demonstrated that fatty acids, primary alcohols, n-alkanes, aldehydes and alkyl esters were the predominant very-long-chain aliphatic compound classes of fruit and leaf surfaces. Sterols, such as β-sitosterol and campesterol, and triterpenoids, such as oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, α-amyrin and ß-amyrin, were the major cyclic compound classes in the cuticular wax membrane.
The amount and composition of cuticular waxes of both fruits and leaves varied at an intraspecific level. There were no significant correlations between the total cuticular wax load or the individual cuticular wax composition and the water permeability of fruits or leaves independently or together. After combining the fruit and leaf data set, a significant correlation between the average chain length of very-long-chain aliphatic compounds and permeabilities was detected, i.e. the longer the average chain length, the lower the water permeability.
Interestingly, n-Nonacosane (C29) was abundantly detected in fruit waxes of Rosaceae species. These fruits exhibited a relatively low transpiration level, which was very close to their leaf cuticular permeability. The present study suggests that the lower cuticular permeability of leaves, in comparison to that of fruits, may be attributed to the longer average chain length of aliphatic compounds. The accumulation of total wax, triterpenoids and aliphatic compounds may not contribute to the transpiration barrier directly. The present results are highly consistent with the previous model assumptions for the cuticular structure and transport barrier. Furthermore, this comparative study on leaf and fruit cuticles provides further insights linking the cuticular wax chemistry to the physiological properties of the plant cuticle.
Malvaviscus arboreus Cav. is a medicinal plant belonging to family Malvaceae with both ethnomedical and culinary value; however, its phytochemical and biological profiles have been scarcely studied. Accordingly, this work was designed to explore the chemical composition and the hepatoprotective potential of M. arboreus against carbon tetrachloride (CCl\(_4\))-induced hepatotoxicity. The total extract of the aerial parts and its derived fractions (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and aqueous) were orally administered to rats for six consecutive days, followed by injection of CCl\(_4\) (1:1 v/v, in olive oil, 1.5 ml/kg, i.p.) on the next day. Results showed that the ethyl acetate and dichloromethane fractions significantly alleviated liver injury in rats as indicated by the reduced levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TB), and malondialdehyde (MDA), along with enhancement of the total antioxidant capacities of their livers, with the maximum effects were recorded by the ethyl acetate fraction. Moreover, the protective actions of both fractions were comparable to those of silymarin (100 mg/kg), and have been also substantiated by histopathological evaluations. On the other hand, liquid chromatography-high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC‒HR‒ESI‒MS) metabolomic profiling of the crude extract of M. arboreus aerial parts showed the presence of a variety of phytochemicals, mostly phenolics, whereas the detailed chemical analysis of the most active fraction (i.e. ethyl acetate) resulted in the isolation and identification of six compounds for the first time in the genus, comprising four phenolic acids; β-resorcylic, caffeic, protocatechuic, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acids, in addition to two flavonoids; trifolin and astragalin. Such phenolic principles, together with their probable synergistic antioxidant and liver-protecting properties, seem to contribute to the observed hepatoprotective potential of M. arboreus.
The number of plants pollinated by ants is surprisingly low given the abundance of ants and the fact that they are common visitors of angiosperms. Generally ants are considered as nectar robbers that do not provide pollination service. We studied the pollination system of the endangered dry grassland forb Euphorbia seguieriana and found two ant species to be the most frequent visitors of its flowers. Workers of Formica cunicularia carried five times more pollen than smaller Tapinoma erraticum individuals, but significantly more viable pollen was recovered from the latter. Overall, the viability of pollen on ant cuticles was significantly lower (p < 0.001)-presumably an antibiotic effect of the metapleural gland secretion. A marking experiment suggested that ants were unlikely to facilitate outcrossing as workers repeatedly returned to the same individual plant. In open pollinated plants and when access was given exclusively to flying insects, fruit set was nearly 100%. In plants visited by ants only, roughly one third of flowers set fruit, and almost none set fruit when all insects were excluded. The germination rate of seeds from flowers pollinated by flying insects was 31 +/- 7% in contrast to 1 +/- 1% resulting from ant pollination. We conclude that inbreeding depression may be responsible for the very low germination rate in ant pollinated flowers and that ants, although the most frequent visitors, play a negligible or even deleterious role in the reproduction of E. seguieriana. Our study reiterates the need to investigate plant fitness effects beyond seed set in order to confirm ant-plant mutualisms.
Arbuscular Mycorrhiza and Root Nodule Symbiosis are symbiotic interactions with a high benefit for plant growth and crop production. Thus, it is of great interest to understand the developmental process of these symbioses in detail. We analysed very early symbiotic responses of Medicago truncatula root hair cells, by stimulation with lipochitinoligosaccharides specific for the induction of nodules (Nod-LCOs), or the interaction with mycorrhiza (Myc-LCOs). Intracellular micro electrodes were used, in combination with Ca\(^{2+}\) sensitive reporter dyes, to study the relations between cytosolic Ca\(^{2+}\) signals and membrane potential changes. We found that sulfated Myc- as well as Nod-LCOs initiate a membrane depolarization, which depends on the chemical composition of these signaling molecules, as well as the genotype of the plants that were studied. A successive application of sulfated Myc-LCOs and Nod-LCOs resulted only in a single transient depolarization, indicating that Myc-LCOs can repress plasma membrane responses to Nod-LCOs. In contrast to current models, the Nod-LCO-induced depolarization precedes changes in the cytosolic Ca\(^{2+}\) level of root hair cells. The Nod-LCO induced membrane depolarization thus is most likely independent of cytosolic Ca\(^{2+}\) signals and nuclear Ca\(^{2+}\) spiking.
Sodium-glucose transporters (SGLT) belong to the solute carrier 5 family, which is characterized by sodium dependent transport of sugars and other solutes. In contrast, the human SGLT3 (hSGLT3) isoform, encoded by SLC5A4, acts as a glucose sensor that does not transport sugar but induces membrane depolarization by Na\(^{+}\) currents upon ligand binding. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of several extended pedigrees with high density of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) identified a triplet ATG deletion in SLC5A4 leading to a single amino acid loss (ΔM500) in the hSGLT3 protein imperfectly co-segregating with the clinical phenotype of ADHD. Since mutations in homologous domains of hSGLT1 and hSGLT2 were found to affect intestinal and renal function, respectively, we analyzed the functional properties of hSGLT3[wt] and [ΔM500] by voltage clamp and current clamp recordings from cRNA-injected Xenopus laevis oocytes.
The cation conductance of hSGLT3[wt] was activated by application of glucose or the specific agonist 1-desoxynojirimycin (DNJ) as revealed by inward currents in the voltage clamp configuration and cell depolarization in the current clamp mode. Almost no currents and changes in membrane potential were observed when glucose or DNJ were applied to hSGLT3[ΔM500]-injected oocytes, demonstrating a loss of function by this amino acid deletion in hSGLT3. To monitor membrane targeting of wt and mutant hSGLT3, fusion constructs with YFP were generated, heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and analyzed for membrane fluorescence by confocal microscopy. In comparison to hSGLT3[wt] the fluorescent signal of mutant [ΔM500] was reduced by 43% indicating that the mutant phenotype might mainly result from inaccurate membrane targeting. As revealed by homology modeling, residue M500 is located in TM11 suggesting that in addition to the core structure (TM1-TM10) of the transporter, the surrounding TMs are equally crucial for transport/sensor function.
In conclusion, our findings indicate that the deletion [ΔM500] in hSGLT3 inhibits membrane targeting and thus largely disrupts glucose-induced sodium conductance, which may, in interaction with other ADHD risk-related gene variants, influence the risk for ADHD in deletion carriers.
Optogenetic manipulation of cells or living organisms became widely used in neuroscience following the introduction of the light-gated ion channel channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2). ChR2 is a non-selective cation channel, ideally suited to depolarize and evoke action potentials in neurons. However, its calcium (Ca2\(^{2+}\)) permeability and single channel conductance are low and for some applications longer-lasting increases in intracellular Ca\(^{2+}\) might be desirable. Moreover, there is need for an efficient light-gated potassium (K\(^{+}\)) channel that can rapidly inhibit spiking in targeted neurons. Considering the importance of Ca\(^{2+}\) and K\(^{+}\) in cell physiology, light-activated Ca\(^{2+}\)-permeant and K\(^{+}\)-specific channels would be welcome additions to the optogenetic toolbox. Here we describe the engineering of novel light-gated Ca\(^{2+}\)-permeant and K\(^{+}\)-specific channels by fusing a bacterial photoactivated adenylyl cyclase to cyclic nucleotide-gated channels with high permeability for Ca\(^{2+}\) or for K\(^{+}\), respectively. Optimized fusion constructs showed strong light-gated conductance in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in rat hippocampal neurons. These constructs could also be used to control the motility of Drosophila melanogaster larvae, when expressed in motoneurons. Illumination led to body contraction when motoneurons expressed the light-sensitive Ca\(^{2+}\)-permeant channel, and to body extension when expressing the light-sensitive K\(^{+}\) channel, both effectively and reversibly paralyzing the larvae. Further optimization of these constructs will be required for application in adult flies since both constructs led to eclosion failure when expressed in motoneurons.
Auxin is a key regulator of plant growth and development, but the causal relationship between hormone transport and root responses remains unresolved. Here we describe auxin uptake, together with early steps in signaling, in Arabidopsis root hairs. Using intracellular microelectrodes we show membrane depolarization, in response to IAA in a concentration- and pH-dependent manner. This depolarization is strongly impaired in aux1 mutants, indicating that AUX1 is the major transporter for auxin uptake in root hairs. Local intracellular auxin application triggers Ca2+ signals that propagate as long-distance waves between root cells and modulate their auxin responses. AUX1-mediated IAA transport, as well as IAA- triggered calcium signals, are blocked by treatment with the SCFTIR1/AFB - inhibitor auxinole. Further, they are strongly reduced in the tir1afb2afb3 and the cngc14 mutant. Our study reveals that the AUX1 transporter, the SCFTIR1/AFB receptor and the CNGC14 Ca2+ channel, mediate fast auxin signaling in roots.
Plants are exposed to high temperature, especially during hot summer days. Temperatures are typically lowest in the morning and reach a maximum in the afternoon. Plants can tolerate and survive short-term heat stress even on hot summer days. A. thaliana seedlings have been reported to tolerate higher temperatures for different time periods, a phenomenon that has been termed basal thermotolerance. In addition, plants have the inherent capacity to acclimate to otherwise lethal temperatures. Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings acclimate at moderately elevated temperatures between 32–38° C. During heat acclimation, a genetically programmed heat shock response (HSR) is triggered that is characterized by a rapid activation of heat shock transcription factors (HSFs), which trigger a massive accumulation of heat shock proteins that are chiefly involved in protein folding and protection.
Although the HSF-triggered heat-shock response is well characterized, little is known about the metabolic adjustments during heat stress. The aim of this work was to get more insight into heat-responsive metabolism and its importance for thermotolerance.
In order to identify the response of metabolites to elevated temperatures, global metabolite profiles of heat-acclimated and control seedlings were compared. Untargeted metabolite analyses revealed that levels of polyunsaturated triacylglycerols (TG) rapidly increase during heat acclimation. TG accumulation was found to be temperature-dependent in a temperature range from 32–50° C (optimum at 42° C). Heat-induced TG accumulation was localized in extra-chloroplastic compartments by chloroplast isolation as well as by fluorescence microscopy of A. thaliana cell cultures.
Analysis of mutants deficient in all four HSFA1 master regulator genes or the HSFA2 gene revealed that TG accumulation occurred independently to HSF. Moreover, the TG response was not limited to heat stress since drought and salt stress (but not short-term osmotic, cold and high light stress) also triggered an accumulation of TGs.
In order to reveal the origin of TG synthesis, lipid analysis was carried out. Heat-induced accumulation of TGs does not derive from massive de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis. On the other hand, lipidomic analyses of A. thaliana seedlings indicated that polyunsaturated FA from thylakoid galactolipids are incorporated into cytosolic TGs during heat stress. This was verified by lipidomic analyses of A. thaliana fad7/8 transgenic seedlings, which displayed altered FA compositions of plastidic lipids. In addition, wild type A. thaliana seedlings displayed a rapid conversion of plastidic monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDGs) into oligogalactolipids, acylated MGDGs and diacylglycerols (DGs). For TG synthesis, DG requires a FA from the acyl CoA pool or phosphatidylcholine (PC). Seedlings deficient in phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (PDAT1) were unable to accumulate TGs following heat stress; thus PC appears to be the major FA donor for TGs during heat treatment. These results suggest that TG and oligogalactolipid accumulation during heat stress is driven by post-translationally regulated plastid lipid metabolism.
TG accumulation following heat stress was found to increase basal thermotolerance. Pdat1 mutant seedlings were more sensitive to severe heat stress without prior acclimatization, as revealed by a more dramatic decline of the maximum efficiency of PSII and lower survival rate compared to wild type seedlings. In contrast, tgd1 mutants over-accumulating TGs and oligogalactolipids displayed a higher basal thermotolerance compared to wild type seedlings. These results therefore suggest that accumulation of TGs increases thermotolerance in addition to the genetically encoded heat shock response.
Host–microbe interactions are the key to understand why and how microbes inhabit specific environments. With the scientific fields of microbial genomics and metagenomics, evolving on an unprecedented scale, one is able to gain insights in these interactions on a molecular and ecological level. The goal of this PhD thesis was to make (meta–)genomic data accessible, integrate it in a comparative manner and to gain comprehensive taxonomic and functional insights into bacterial strains and communities derived from two different environments: the phyllosphere of Arabidopsis thaliana and the mesohyl interior of marine sponges.
This thesis focused first on the de novo assembly of bacterial genomes. A 5–step protocol was developed, each step including a quality control. The examination of different assembly software in a comparative way identified SPAdes as most suitable. The protocol enables the user to chose the best tailored assembly. Contamination issues were solved by an initial filtering of the data and methods normally used for the binning of metagenomic datasets. This step is missed in many published assembly pipelines. The described protocol offers assemblies of high quality ready for downstream analysis.
Subsequently, assemblies generated with the developed protocol were annotated and explored
in terms of their function. In a first study, the genome of a phyllosphere bacterium, Williamsia sp. ARP1, was analyzed, offering many adaptions to the leaf habitat: it can deal with temperature shifts, react to oxygen species, produces mycosporins as protection against UV–light, and is able to uptake photosynthates. Further, its taxonomic position within the Actinomycetales was infered from 16S rRNA and comparative genomics showing the close relation between the genera Williamsia and Gordonia.
In a second study, six sponge–derived actinomycete genomes were investigated for secondary metabolism. By use of state–of–the–art software, these strains exhibited numerous gene clusters, mostly linked to polykethide synthases, non–ribosomal peptide synthesis, terpenes, fatty acids and saccharides. Subsequent predictions on these clusters offered a great variety of possible produced compounds with antibiotic, antifungal or anti–cancer activity. These analysis highlight the potential for the synthesis of natural products and the use of genomic data as screening toolkit.
In a last study, three sponge–derived and one seawater metagenomes were functionally compared. Different signatures regarding the microbial composition and GC–distribution were observed between the two environments. With a focus on bacerial defense systems, the data indicates a pronounced repertoire of sponge associated bacteria for bacterial defense systems, in particular, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, restriction modification system, DNA phosphorothioation and phage growth limitation. In addition, characterizing genes for secondary metabolite cluster differed between sponge and seawater microbiomes. Moreover, a variety of Type I polyketide synthases were only found within the sponge microbiomes. With that, metagenomics are shown to be a useful tool for the screening of secondary metabolite genes. Furthermore, enriched defense systems are highlighted as feature of sponge-associated microbes and marks them as a selective trait.
Antikörper, die Oberflächenantigene erkennen, sind sowohl in der Diagnostik als auch in der Therapie verschiedener Erkrankungen von enormer Bedeutung. Damit Antikörper in diesen Bereichen eingesetzt werden können, ist es sehr wichtig, dass die Interaktion eines Antikörpers oder auch eines Antikörperkonjugats mit seinem Antigen oder Fc-Rezeptoren ausreichend charakterisiert wird. Hierfür werden meist zellfreie Verfahren angewandt, wie die isotherme Titrationskalorimetrie oder die Oberflächenplasmonenresonanzspektroskopie. Diese unterliegen verschiedenen Limitationen, beispielsweise der Verfügbarkeit von rekombinantem Antigen. Vor allem aber werden zelluläre Einflüsse, die die Bindungseigenschaften der Antikörper beeinflussen, nicht berücksichtigt. Aber auch die derzeit angewandten Verfahren für zelluläre Bindungsstudien können problematisch sein, da sie meist auf Antikörpern basieren, die biochemisch markiert worden sind, was zu funktionellen Beeinträchtigungen führen kann. Außerdem zeigen solche Antikörper häufig keine einheitliche Stöchiometrie der jeweiligen Reporterstoffe und die Reproduzierbarkeit des Markierungsverfahrens ist in den meisten Fällen nicht gewährleistet. Positionsspezifische Markierungen sind jedoch vergleichsweise sehr aufwendig.
Um die genannten Probleme zu umgehen, wurden in der vorliegenden Arbeit am Beispiel des Fn14-spezifischen Antikörpers 18D1 Antikörper-Fusionsproteine hergestellt und charakterisiert, die an verschiedenen Positionen genetisch mit der Gaussia princeps Luziferase (GpL) fusioniert worden sind. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Positionierung der Luziferase am C-Terminus der leichten Kette des Antikörpers (GpL(CT-LC)) die Bindungseigenschaften der GpL-18D1-IgG1-Fusionsproteine an Fn14 und an die verschiedenen Fcγ-Rezeptoren (FcγR) nicht oder nur in geringem Umfang beeinflusst. Auch die agonistische Aktivität der GpL-18D1-IgG1-Fusionsproteine, welche abhängig ist von der Oligomerisierung über Protein G oder der FcγR-Bindung, wurde durch die GpL-Markierung nicht wesentlich beeinflusst. Diese Ergebnisse ließen sich am Bespiel von 18D1 ebenfalls auf die dimeren Antikörper-Isotypen IgG2, mIgG1 und mIgG2A übertragen. GpL-Fusionsproteine der Antikörper E09-IgG1 (CD95-spezifisch), G28.5-IgG1 (CD40-spezifisch) und BHA10-IgG1 (LTβR-spezifisch) zeigten gleichfalls keine gravierenden Veränderungen der Bindungseigenschaften oder den funktionellen Eigenschaften, was für eine breite Anwendbarkeit von GpL-Antikörper-Fusionsproteinen spricht.
Zusammenfassend betrachtet zeigen die hier präsentierten Ergebnisse, dass die genetische Fusion der Gaussia princeps Luziferase an das C-terminale Ende der leichten Antikörperkette eine sehr gute Möglichkeit darstellt, Antigen-Antikörper-Interaktionen zu charakterisieren ohne dabei mit den Eigenschaften des Antikörpers zu interferieren. Dabei besticht dieser Ansatz im Vergleich zu anderen gängigen Verfahren durch seine Reproduzierbarkeit, eine einfache Handhabung, geringe Kosten und eine extrem hohe Sensitivität. Außerdem könnte dieses Antikörper-Fusionsproteinformat zukünftig auch in vielen Bereichen als Tracer eingesetzt werden mit dem Vorteil, dass keinerlei Radioaktivität benötigt werden würde.
Pollenschläuche sind ein Modellsystem zur Untersuchung pflanzlicher Wachstumsprozesse. Zellwachstum in Pollenschläuchen zeichnet sich durch den gerichteten Transport und Fusion von Vesikeln mit der apikalen Zellmembran des Pollenschlauchs aus. Der Vesikeltransport erfolgt entlang des Pollenschlauchs durch Aktin-Filamente bis an die Organell- und Zytoskelett-freie apikale Zone, wo sich die Vesikel sammeln und in oszillierenden Wachstumsschüben mit der apikalen Zellmembran fusionieren (Yang et al., 1998; Zonia et al., 2001, Gu et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2003; Gu et al., 2005; de Graaf et al., 2005; Lee et al., 2008; Cheung et al., 2010; Quin und Yang et al., 2011). Die polaren Wachstumsprozesse des Pollenschlauches sind an ein Ionenflussmuster gekoppelt, welches durch den Einsatz der Vibrating Probe-Technik zeitlich aufgelöst werden konnten. Es konnte ein zeitversetzter oszillierender Einstrom von Calcium, Kalium und Protonen sowie der zeitgleich mit den Wachstumsschüben auftretende oszillierende Ausstrom von Chlorid aus der Pollenschlauchspitze nachgewiesen werden (Kühtreiber und Jaffe et al., 1990; Holdaway-Clarke et al., 1997; Feijo et al., 1999, Messerli et al., 1999, Zonia et al., 2001). Die Inhibierung des Chloridausstroms resultiert in einem sofortigen Wachstumsstopp und verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit des Anionenausstroms für das polare Zellwachstum in Pollenschläuchen (Breygina et al., 2009).
Durch die in dieser Arbeit durchgeführten Experimente konnten die an dem Anionenausstrom beteiligten Anionenkanäle, sowie deren Ca2+-abhängigen regulatorischen Komponenten identifiziert und mit Hilfe der TEVC-Technik elektrophysiologisch an intakten Arabidopsis thaliana-Pollenschläuchen charakterisiert werden. Weiterhin konnte die physiologische Rolle der für den Anionenausstrom verantwortlichen Kanäle auf das polare Zellwachstum in Arabidopsis thaliana Pollenschläuchen nachgewiesen werden.
Durch Transkriptionsanalysen wurde die Expression des S-Typ-Anionenkanals SLAH3 sowie der R-Typ-Anionenkanäle ALMT12, ALMT13 und ALMT14 in Arabidopsis thaliana Pollenschläuchen belegt und deren transkriptionelle Regulation durch die Anionenkonzentration und Komposition des Keimungsmediums nachgewiesen werden. Eine elektrophysiologische Charakterisierung an intakten Arabidopsis thaliana Pollenschläuchen konnte sowohl einen Anstieg der SLAH3 vermittelten S-Typ-Ströme, als auch ALMT12-, ALMT13- und ALMT14 vermittelte R Typ-Anionenströme bei steigenden Anionenkonzentrationen im Keimungsmedium nachweisen. Die Charakterisierung der Verlustmutanten von SLAH3, ALMT12, ALMT13 und ALMT14 resultierte in einer Abnahme des Anionenausstroms und einer Reduktion des Längenwachstums der getesteten Mutanten. Es konnten ebenfalls die regulatorischen Komponenten der Signalkette zur Anionenkanalaktivierung identifiziert werden. Die Aktivierung von SLAH3 und ALMT12 durch die Calcium-abhängigen Kinasen CPK2, CPK20 und CPK6 aus Arabidopsis thaliana Pollenschläuchen konnte mittels einer Kombination von elektrophysiologischen- und molekularbiologischen Techniken nachgewiesen werden. Somit wurden nicht nur die für den Anionenausstrom verantwortlichen Anionenkanäle identifiziert, sondern auch die Signalkette zu deren Aktivierung durch spitzenlokalisierte Calcium-abhängige Kinasen aufgeklärt werden. Diese Signalkaskade führt ebenfalls durch die artifizielle Erhöhung der zytoplasmatischen Calciumkonzentration durch das Calcium-Ionophor A23187 zu einem Anstieg des S Typ- und R Typ Anionenkanalaktivität in Arabidopsis thaliana-Pollenschläuchen.
Eine intensivere Charakterisierung des entdeckten Calcium-vermittelten Anionenausstroms erfolgte am transgenen pLat52-Chlorid-Sensor bzw. an YC3.6 Tabak Pollenschläuchen durch die Kombination von TEVC-Technik und Fluoreszensmikroskopie. Dies ermöglichte die simultane Messung der zytoplasmatischen Calcium- bzw. Chloridkonzentration in Nicotiana tabacum Pollenschläuchen bei gleichzeitiger Ableitung der Ganzzellströme. Die elektrophysiologische und fluoreszenzmikroskopische Charakterisierung erbrachte erstmals den Nachweis für eine exklusive Lokalisation von hyperpolarisations-aktivierten Calciumkanälen in der Pollenschlauchspitze, welche sich durch die Verwendung der TEVC-Technik gezielt aktivieren ließen. Diese Aktivierung der spitzenlokalisierten Calciumkanäle induziert den Anionenausstrom durch den Anstieg der apikalen Calciumkonzentration. Die Inhibierung der Calciumkanäle durch den Calciumkanalblocker Lanthan führt zu einem vollständigen Verlust des Calciumeinstroms und des daraus resultierenden Anioneneinstroms. Durch die Inhibierung der Calciumkanäle kommt es gleichzeitig zu einer Akkumulation von Chlorid in der apikalen Zone, die zum Anschwellen der Pollenschlauchspitze führt. Die Inhibierung der Anionenkanäle durch Niflumsäure hat hingegen keinen Einfluss auf den spitzenlokalisierten Calciumeinstrom, sondern reduziert nur den gemessenen Anionenausstrom. Somit wird ein kausaler Zusammenhang zwischen der Erhöhung der apikalen Ca2+-Konzentration und einer Anionenkanalaktivierung weiter verdeutlicht. Durch die Anwendung der TEVC-Technik an intakten Pollenschläuchen konnten erstmals Aktionspotenzial ähnliche Depolarisierungstransienten, welche sich auf die apikale Zone des Pollenschlauchs beschränken und zeitgleich mit dem Anionenausstrom stattfinden, nachgewiesen werden.
Durch diese Arbeit kann erstmals ein Modell des Calcium-vermittelten oszillierenden Anionenausstroms aus der Pollenschlauchspitze aufgestellt werden. Dieses verknüpft die Regulation der beteiligten R-Typ-Anionenkanäle ALMT12, ALMT13 und ALMT14 und des S-Typ-Anionenkanals SLAH3 durch die Calcium-abhängigen Kinasen CPK2, CPK20 und CPK6 mit dem spitzenlokalisierten oszillierenden Calciumeinstrom. Das Modell verdeutlicht die physiologische Bedeutung des simultanen Ca2+-Ein- und Anionenausstroms für das polare Zellwachstum von Pollenschläuchen.
Latrophilin, alternatively named calcium-independent receptor of α-latrotoxin (CIRL), resembles a prototype of the adhesion class G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Initially identified as a high-affinity receptor for α-latrotoxin, a component of the black widow spider, latrophilins are now associated with various distinct functions, such as synaptic exocytosis, tissue polarity and fertility (Tobaben et al., 2002; Langenhan et al., 2009; Promel et al., 2012). Despite these exploratory efforts the precise subcellular localisation as well as the endogenous ligand of CIRL still remains elusive. In this work genetic experiments, imaging approaches and behavioural studies have been used to unravel the localisation and physiological function of the latrophilin homolog dCirl in Drosophila melanogaster. Containing only one latrophilin homolog together with its genetic accessibility and well-established transgenic approaches, Drosophila seemed an ideally suited model organism. The present study showed that dCirl is widely expressed in the larval central nervous system including moto- and sensory neurons. Further, this work revealed that removal of the latrophilin homolog does not greatly affect synaptic transmission but it seems that aspects of the postsynaptic structural layout are controlled by dCIRL in the fruit fly. Additionally, dCirl expression at the transcriptional level was confirmed in larval and adult chordotonal organs, specialised mechanosensors implicated in proprioception (Eberl, 1999). Expression of dCIRL at the protein level could not yet been confirmed in moto- and sensory neurons likely due to low endogenous expression. However, behavioural studies using dCirl knockout mutant larvae indicated a putative mechanosensory function of dCIRL regarding touch sensitivity and locomotion behaviour.
The second part of this thesis presents a strategy to examine interactions between several presynaptic proteins in living cells. The attempt described in this work is based on the discovery that GFP when split into two non-fluorescent fragments can form a fluorescent complex. The association of the fragments can be facilitated by fusing them to two proteins that interact with each other. Therefore, the split GFP method enables direct visualization of synaptic protein interactions in living cells. In initial experiments I could show that full length reporter protein fusions with n-Synaptobrevin (n-Syb), Synaptotagmin (Syt) and Syntaxin (Syx) allow expression in Drosophila and confirmed that fusion to either end of each synaptic protein did not impair expression or influence the viability of transgenic flies. Further, transgenes containing protein fusions of Syx, Syt, and n-Syb with split GFP fragments were established in previous studies (Gehring, 2010). The present work characterises the interaction of these protein fusions during different stages of synaptic vesicle turnover at active zones such as synaptic vesicle docking at the presynaptic membrane and vesicle fusion. These results suggest that the spGFP assay seems only partly suitable for resolving fast and transient protein-protein interactions at larval Drosophila active zones in vivo.
Optogenetics is a method to control the cell activity with light by expression of a natural or engineered photoreceptor via genetic modification technology. Optogenetics early success came with the light-gated cation channel "Channelrhodopsin-2" in neurons and expanded from neuroscience to other research fields such as cardiac research and cell signaling, also due to the enrichment by new photoreceptors. In this study, I focus on searching and characterizing new photoreceptors to expand the optogenetic tool box. In this work I characterize three newly discovered microbial rhodopsins and some engineered mutants of them.
The first rhodopsin is a proton pump from the diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus, Fragilariopsis Rhodopsin or abbreviated: FR. I cloned the full-length FR and proved it to be a light-activated proton pump with high efficacy in comparison to Bacteriorhodopsin (BR). During this study, I also developed a new method to improve the plasma membrane targeting of several microbial rhodopsins. I also obtained a FR mutant (channel-like FR or chFR) which behaves like a light-gated proton channel. FR can be used for optogenetic hyperpolarization or alkalization of a cell while the chFR could be used for depolarization or lowering of the cellular pH. The induction of FR expression under iron-limited conditions in the diatom indicated an alternative energy generation mechanism of F. cylindrus when iron-containing enzymes are scarce.
I then characterized a new microbial rhodopsin with novel light-regulated Guanylyl Cyclase (GC) activity. This rhodopsin guanylyl cyclase from the fungus Blastocladiella emersonii (B.e. CyclaseOpsin or BeCyclOp) has been proven by me to be an efficient light-gated GC with high specificity and fast kinetics. BeCyclOp also has a novel structure with eight transmembrane helices, containing a long cytosolic N-terminus which participates in the tight regulation of the GC activity. In collaboration with Prof. Alexander Gottschalk (Univ. Frankfurt/M.), BeCyclOp has been tested in muscle cells and sensory neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans and proven to be a powerful optogenetic tool in a living animal. I also generated a BeCyclOp mutant with enhanced light sensitivity.
Already more than ten years ago, guanylyl cyclase rhodopsins were suggested to exist in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by analyzing genomic sequence data. But until now no functional proof existed. By further cloning and sequencing I discovered such a rhodopsin with light-regulated guanylyl cyclase activity. This functional Cyclaseopsin (COP6c) is quite different to BeCyclOp, as it was proven to be a light-inhibited GC. Cop6c is much larger than BeCyclOp with a His-Kinase and a response regulator domain between the rhodopsin and the cyclase domain.
I also introduced a new strategy for generating optogenetic tools by fusing the photoactivated adenylyl cyclase bPAC to two different CNG channels. These new tools function via light-gated cAMP production and subsequent CNG channel activation. These tools combined the properties of bPAC (highly sensitive to blue light) and CNG channels (high single-channel conductance and high Ca2+ permeability), as demonstrated by expression in Xenopus oocytes. As a further benefit the fusing of bPAC to CNG channels leads to a bPAC with a more than tenfold reduced dark activity which is a valuable improvement for bPAC itself as an optogenetic tool.
Multiple myeloma (MM), a malignancy of the bone marrow, is characterized by a pathological increase in antibody-producing plasma cells and an increase in immunoglobulins (plasmacytosis). In recent years, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been reported to be activators of apoptotic cell death in neoplastic B cells in MM. Here, we use bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) to show that the "apoptotic" effect of BMPs on human neoplastic B cells is dominated by anti-proliferative activities and cell cycle arrest and is apoptosis-independent. The anti-proliferative effect of BMP2 was analysed in the human cell lines KMS12-BM and L363 using WST-1 and a Coulter counter and was confirmed using CytoTox assays with established inhibitors of programmed cell death (zVAD-fmk and necrostatin-1). Furthermore, apoptotic activity was compared in both cell lines employing western blot analysis for caspase 3 and 8 in cells treated with BMP2 and FasL. Additionally, expression profiles of marker genes of different cell death pathways were analysed in both cell lines after stimulation with BMP2 for 48h using an RT-PCR-based array. In our experiments we observed that there was rather no reduction in absolute cell number, but cells stopped proliferating following treatment with BMP2 instead. The time frame (48–72 h) after BMP2 treatment at which a reduction in cell number is detectable is too long to indicate a directly BMP2-triggered apoptosis. Moreover, in comparison to robust apoptosis induced by the approved apoptotic factor FasL, BMP2 only marginally induced cell death. Consistently, neither the known inhibitor of apoptotic cell death zVAD-fmk nor the necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 was able to rescue myeloma cell growth in the presence of BMP2.
