Isolation and biochemical characterization of fusicoccin-insensitive variant lines of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh

Arabidopsis thaliana lines have been isolated that are insensitive to the fungal toxin fusicoccin (FC). Initial screening was done by selecting for plants that either grew well on high concentrations of FC or did not respond to FC by increases in H⁺-extrusion. All selected plants were tested, in several additional rounds of screening, for binding to microsomal proteins of a ³H-labeled radioligand of fusicoccin. A novel assay allowing for the direct selection of individual plants exhibiting reduced binding of FC was developed and used as screening procedure. Independent variant lines (43) with stably expressed, reduced binding of FC were isolated and subjected to a detailed characterization of their binding sites. The lines could be subdivided into several distinct classes with respect to these characteristics. In class-I lines, the data indicate a partial conversion of high-affinity binding sites to a low-affinity state. In class-II lines, the affinity of the binding site to FC is strongly reduced while the number of sites, as well as several other biochemical parameters, is completely unchanged, suggesting a specific alteration in the properties of the fusicoccin-binding protein. In class-III lines, the ligand-binding protein complex, while retaining its high affinity, is destabilized at supraoptimal concentrations of FC (such as those used for screening). In wild-type plants, only the high-affinity binding site was detected. Combined, these data prove that the high-affinity sites represent the plant's FC receptor.Abbreviations A_o binding site concentration - FC fusicoccin - FCBP fusicoccin-binding protein - FCol 9-nor-8-hydroxyfusicoccin - K_D dissociation constant of the FCBP-radioligand complex We are grateful to Iris Sandorf and Gudrun Henrichs for excellent technical assistance.

Molecular and physiological characterisation of a 14-3-3 protein from lily pollen grains regulating the activity of the plasma membrane H+ ATPase during pollen grain germination and tube growth

A 14-3-3 protein has been cloned and sequenced from a cDNA library constructed from mRNAs of mature pollen grains of Lilium longiflorum Thunb. Monoclonal antibodies (MUP 5 or MUP 15) highly specific against 14-3-3 proteins recognised a 30-kDa protein in the cytoplasmic fraction of many various lily tissues (leaves, bulbs, stems, anther filaments, pollen grains, stigmas) and in other plants (Arabidopsis seedlings, barley recombinant 14-3-3). In addition, 14-3-3 proteins were detected in a microsomal fraction isolated from pollen grains and tubes, and the amount of membrane-bound 14-3-3 proteins as well as the amount of the plasma membrane (PM) H⁺ ATPase increased during germination of pollen grains and tube growth. No change was observed in the cytoplasmic fraction. A further increase in the amount of 14-3-3 proteins in the microsomal fraction was observed when pollen grains were incubated in germination medium containing 1 μM fusicoccin (FC) whereas the number of 14-3-3s in the cytoplasmic fraction decreased. Fusicoccin also protected membrane-bound 14-3-3 proteins from dissociation after washing with the chaotropic salt KI. Furthermore, FC stimulated the PM H⁺ ATPase activity, the germination frequency and the growth rate of pollen tubes, thus indicating that a modulation of the PM H⁺ ATPase activity by interaction with 14-3-3 proteins may regulate germination and tube growth of lily pollen.

Association of 14-3-3 proteins with the C-terminal autoinhibitory domain of the plant plasma-membrane H+-ATPase generates a fusicoccin-binding complex

The plant plasma-membrane H⁺-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.35) contains a C-terminal autoinhibitory domain whose displacement from the catalytic site is caused by treatment of intact plant tissue with the phytotoxin fusicoccin (FC). The FC-induced activation of the H⁺-ATPase was proposed to involve a direct interaction of 14-3-3 proteins with the H⁺-ATPase. By analysing plasma membranes derived from leaves of Commelina communis L., direct biochemical evidence has now been obtained for a complex between the C-terminus of the H⁺-ATPase and a 14-3-3 dimer. Stabilization of this complex was achieved by FC treatment in vivo or in vitro. Furthermore, the C-terminal domain of the H⁺-ATPase in association with a 14-3-3 dimer is essential for the creation of a functional FC-binding complex.

Abscisic acid and 14-3-3 proteins control K channel activity in barley embryonic root

Germination of seeds proceeds in general in two phases, an initial imbibition phase and a subsequent growth phase. In grasses like barley, the latter phase is evident as the emergence of the embryonic root (radicle). The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits germination because it prevents the embryo from entering and completing the growth phase. Genetic and physiological studies have identified many steps in the ABA signal transduction cascade, but how it prevents radicle elongation is still not clear. For elongation growth to proceed, uptake of osmotically active substances (mainly K(+)) is essential. Therefore, we have addressed the question of how the activity of K(+) permeable ion channels in the plasma membrane of radicle cells is regulated under conditions of slow (+ABA) and rapid germination (+fusicoccin). We found that ABA arrests radicle growth, inhibits net K(+) uptake and reduces the activity of K(+) (in) channels as measured with the patch-clamp technique. In contrast, fusicoccin (FC), a well-known stimulator of germination, stimulates radicle growth, net K(+) uptake and reduces the activity of K(+) (out) channels. Both types of channels are under the control of 14-3-3 proteins, known as integral components of signal transduction pathways and instrumental in FC action. Intriguingly, 14-3-3 affected both channels in an opposite fashion: whereas K(+) (in) channel activity was fully dependent upon 14-3-3 proteins, K(+) (out) channel activity was reduced by 14-3-3 proteins by 60%. Together with previous data showing that 14-3-3 proteins control the activity of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, this makes 14-3-3 a prime candidate for molecular master regulator of the cellular osmo-pump. Regulation of the osmo-pump activity by ABA and FC is an important mechanism in controlling the growth of the embryonic root during seed germination.     

Deciphering the role of 14-3-3 proteins

14-3-3 Proteins are found to bind to a growing number of eukaryotic proteins and evidence is accumulating that 14-3-3 proteins serve as modulators of enzyme activity. Several 14-3-3 protein recognition motifs have been identified and an increasing number of target proteins have been found to contain more than one binding site for a 14-3-3 protein. It is thus possible that 14-3-3 dimers function as clamps that simultaneously bind to two motifs within a single binding partner. Phosphorylation of a number of binding motifs has been shown to increase the affinity for 14-3-3 proteins but other mechanisms also regulate the association. It has recently been demonstrated that fusicoccin induces a tight association between 14-3-3 proteins and the plant plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase. Phorbol esters and other hydrophobic molecules may have a similar effect on the association between 14-3-3 proteins and specific binding partners.     

Purification of the Fusicoccin-Binding Protein from Oat Root Plasma Membrane by Affinity Chromatography with Biotinylated Fusicoccin

Fusicoccin (FC), a fungal phytotoxin, evokes a number of physiological responses after binding to the FC-binding protein (FCBP). For characterization of this plasma membrane protein and elucidation of the signal transduction pathway, we purified active FCBP from oat (Avena sativa L. cv Valiant) root plasma membranes using avidin-biotin affinity chromatography. For the binding of FCBP to immobilized avidin, a bifunctional FC derivative (FC-biotin, FCBio) was synthesized. FCBio retained high binding affinity for the FCBP (KD = 70 nM), it elicited a biological response comparable to FC, and it was bound by avidin. The purification of the FCBP involved three important steps. First, FCBio was bound to the FCBP in purified plasma membrane vesicles. Next, plasma membrane proteins were solubilized in detergent, and part of the solubilized proteins was precipitated by decreasing the detergent concentration below the critical micelle concentration. The FCBP remained in the soluble fraction, and this fraction was loaded on a "low-affinity" avidin column. Proteins, bound through a biotin moiety to the column, were specifically eluted with excess biotin. This resulted in fractions active in [3H]FC binding and two bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of 31 and 30 kD. The nonhydrophobic behavior of the FCBP was confirmed by means of phase separation with Triton X-114, wherein the FCBP migrated to the hydrophilic phase. Purification of the FCBP in active form using this novel affinity technique opens the possibility to study other features of the FCBP necessary for inducing physiological responses in plant cells.     

14-3-3 proteins activate a plant calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK)

Plants and protozoa contain a unique family of calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) which are defined by the presence of a carboxyl-terminal calmodulin-like regulatory domain. We present biochemical evidence indicating that at least one member of this kinase family can be stimulated by 14-3-3 proteins. Isoform CPK-1 from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana was expressed as a fusion protein in E. coli and purified. The calcium-dependent activity of this recombinant CPK-1 was shown to be stimulated almost twofold by three different 14-3-3 isoforms with 50% activation around 200 nM. 14-3-3 proteins bound to the purified CPK-1, as shown by binding assays in which either the 14-3-3 or CPK-1 were immobilized on a matrix. Both the 14-3-3 binding and activation of CPK-1 were specifically disrupted by a known 14-3-3 binding peptide LSQRQRSTpSTPNVHMV (IC₅₀=30 μM). These results raise the question of whether 14-3-3 can modulate the activity of CDPK signal transduction pathways in plants.     

Post-translational modification of barley 14-3-3A is isoform-specific and involves removal of the hypervariable C-terminus

The 14-3-3 protein family is a family of regulatory proteins involved in diverse cellular processes. In a previous study of regulation of individual 14-3-3 isoforms in the germinating barley embryo, we found that a post-translationally modified, 28 kDa form of 14-3-3A was present in specific cell fractions of the germinated embryo. In the present study, we identify the nature of the modification of 14-3-3A, and show that the 28 kDa doublet is the result of cleavage of the C-terminus. The 28 kDa forms of 14-3-3A lack ten or twelve amino acid residues at the non-conserved C-terminus of the protein, respectively. Barley 14-3-3B and 14-3-3C are not modified in a similar way. Like the 30 kDa form, in vitro produced 28 kDa 14-3-3A is still capable of binding AHA2 H⁺-ATPase in an overlay assay. Our results show a novel isoform-specific post-translational modification of 14-3-3 proteins that is regulated in a tissue-specific and developmental way.     

Involvement of 14-3-3 proteins in the osmotic regulation of H+-ATPase in plant plasma membranes

 Taking the binding of fusicoccin to plasma membranes as an indicator of complex formation between the 14-3-3 dimer and H⁺-ATPase, we assessed the effect of osmotic stress on the interaction of these proteins in suspension-cultured cells of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). An increase in osmolarity of the cell incubation medium, accompanied by a decrease in turgor, was found to activate the H⁺ efflux 5-fold. The same increment was observed in the number of high-affinity fusicoccin-binding sites in isolated plasma membranes; the 14-3-3 content in the membranes increased 2- to 3-fold, while the H⁺-ATPase activity changed only slightly. The data obtained indicate that osmotic regulation of H⁺-ATPase in the plant plasma membrane is achieved via modulation of the coupling between H⁺ transport and ATP hydrolysis, and that such regulation involves 14-3-3 proteins.

Regulation of H+Pumping by Plant Plasmalemma under Osmotic Stress: The Role of 14-3-3 Proteins

All higher plants have high-specific sites for binding fusicoccin (FCBS), a metabolite of the fungus Fusicoccum amygdaliDel. These sites are localized on the plasmalemma and produced by the association of the dimers of 14-3-3 proteins with the C-terminal autoinhibitory domain of H⁺-ATPase. Considering the fusicoccin binding to the plasmalemma as an index characterizing the formation of this complex, we studied the influence of osmotic stress on the interaction between 14-3-3 proteins and H⁺-ATPase in the suspension-cultured sugar beet cells and protoplasts obtained from them. An increase in the osmolarity of the extracellular medium up to 0.3 Osm was shown to enhance proton efflux from the cells by several times. The number of FCBS in isolated plasma membranes increased in parallel, whereas 14-3-3 proteins accumulated in this membrane to a lesser degree. The amount of H⁺-ATPase molecules did not change, and the ATP-hydrolase activity changed insignificantly. The data obtained indicate that osmotic stress affects H⁺-ATPase pumping in the plasmalemma through its influence on the coupling between H⁺-transport and ATP hydrolysis; 14-3-3 proteins are involved in this coupling. The interaction between the plasmalemma and the cell wall is suggested to be very important in this process.     

14-3-3 regulates the G2/M transition in the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis

14-3-3 proteins are a family of highly conserved polypeptides that function as small adaptors that facilitate a diverse array of cellular processes by binding phosphorylated target proteins. One of these processes is the regulation of the cell cycle. Here we characterized the role of Bmh1, a 14-3-3 protein, in the cell cycle regulation of the fungus Ustilago maydis. We found that this protein is essential in U. maydis and that it has roles during the G2/M transition in this organism. The function of 14-3-3 in U. maydis seems to mirror the proposed role for this protein during Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell cycle regulation. We provided evidence that in U. maydis 14-3-3 protein binds to the mitotic regulator Cdc25. Comparison of the roles of 14-3-3 during cell cycle regulation in other fungal system let us to discuss the connections between morphogenesis, cell cycle regulation and the evolutionary role of 14-3-3 proteins in fungi.     

Structural view of a fungal toxin acting on a 14-3-3 regulatory complex

The fungal phytotoxin fusicoccin stabilizes the interaction between the C-terminus of the plant plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase and 14-3-3 proteins, thus leading to permanent activation of the proton pump. This results in an irreversible opening of the stomatal pore, followed by wilting of plants. Here, we report the crystal structure of the ternary complex between a plant 14-3-3 protein, fusicoccin and a phosphopeptide derived from the C-terminus of the H(+)-ATPase. Comparison with the corresponding binary 14-3-3 complexes indicates no major conformational change induced by fusicoccin. The compound rather fills a cavity in the protein-phosphopeptide interaction surface. Isothermal titration calorimetry indicates that the toxin alone binds only weakly to 14-3-3 and that peptide and toxin mutually increase each others' binding affinity approximately 90-fold. These results are important for herbicide development but might have general implications for drug development, since rather than inhibiting protein-protein interactions, which is difficult to accomplish, it might be easier to reverse the strategy and stabilize protein-protein complexes. As the fusicoccin interaction shows, only low-affinity interactions would be required for this strategy.

Topology and target interaction of the fusicoccin-binding 14-3-3 homologs of Commelina communis

Upon binding to a high-affinity plasma membrane (PM) protein (a member of the 14-3-3 family of regulatory proteins), the fungal phytotoxin fusicoccin (FC) activates the H⁺- ATPase by hindering the inhibitory interaction of the enzyme's C-terminus with its catalytic site. Protease protection experiments carried out with sealed PM vesicles of different orientation proved that the FC-binding site faces the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. The in vivo induced activation of the H⁺-ATPase by FC was retained during solubilization of PM proteins. Two-dimensional gel systems combining a native separation of membrane protein complexes with a denaturing dimension as well as high-performance anion-exchange chromatography proved the existence of a labile ATPase:14-3-3 complex in plasma membranes. Stabilization of this complex could be achieved by FC treatment in vivo or in vitro . Mild proteolytic removal of the C-terminal auto-inhibitory domain of the H⁺ATPase liberated apparent hydrophobic 14-3-3 isoforms from the membrane in soluble form. During size exclusion chromatography of the proteolytically released proteins, co-elution of 14-3-3 dimers, protein-bound FC and the C-terminus of the H⁺ATPase was observed. Moreover, the data suggest that 14-3-3 dimers themselves are not able to bind FC. Based on these results, it is proposed that the 'FC receptor' is represented by a labile complex between a 14-3-3 dimer and the H⁺-ATPase whose formation is part of a mechanism regulating ATPase-activity under physiological conditions. In our working model, binding of FC stabilizes this labile complex, thus leading to a strong and persistent activation of the H⁺-ATPase in vivo . The possibility that the C-terminus of the enzyme represents the binding domain for 14-3-3 homologs is discussed.     

Photoaffinity labeling and partial purification of the putative plant receptor for the fungal wilt-inducing toxin,fusicoccin

The high-affinity fusicoccin-binding protein (FCBP) was solubilized from plasma-membrane vesicles prepared from leaves of Vicia faba L. by aqueous two-phase partitioning. Conditions for the solubilization of intact FCBP-radioligand complexes were worked out. About 60–70% of the complexes can be solubilized with 50–60 mM nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide in the presence of 1 mg· ml^-1 soybean phosphatidylcholine, type IV S, and 20% (v/v) glycerol at pH 5.5. The slow dissociation of the radioligand, 9-nor-fusicoccin-8-alcohol-[³H] from the FCBP at low temperatures permits the purification of FCBP-radioligand complexes at 4–10° C by fast protein liquid chromatography on anion-exchange and gel permeation columns. The FCBP, extracted from plasma membranes with cholate and chromatographed in the presence of this detergent, gave an apparent molecular mass (M_r) of 80±20 kDa on gel permeation columns under the conditions used. By comparison of the elution profiles of the fraction most enriched in FCBP-radioligand complexes with polypeptide patterns obtained on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, a polypeptide with an M_r of approx. 34kDa co-separated with the radioactivity profile. A second, faint band of approx. 31 kDa was sometimes also observed co-electrophoresing. Photoaffinity labeling of plasma-membrane vesicles with the new compound 9-nor-8[(3,5-[³H]-4-azidobenzoy)ethylenediamine]-fusicoccin ([³H]ABE-FC) and subsequent separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis labeled a single band with an M_r of 35±1 kDa. Labeling in this band was strongly reduced when the membranes were incubated with [³H]ABE-FC in the presence of 0.1–1 M fusicoccin. From our data, we conclude (i) that the 34-35-kDa polypeptide represents the FCBP and (ii) that in detergent extracts of plasma membranes this polypeptide is probably present as a di- or trimeric structure.Abbreviations ABE-FC [(4-azidobenzoyl)-ethylenediamine]-fusicoccin - ABE-NHS (4-azidobenzoyl)-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester - FC fusicoccin - FCBP fusicoccin-binding protein - FCol 9-norfusicoccin-8-alcohol - MAB monoclonal antibody - Mega-9(10) nonanoyl(decanoyl)-N-methylglucamide - M_r apparent molecular mass - PMSF phenylmethyl-sulfonyl fluoride - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - TCA trichloroacetic acid - Tris 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol     

Fusicoccin Binding to Its Plasma Membrane Receptor and the Activation of the Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase : IV. Fusicoccin Induces the Association between the Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase and the Fusicoccin Receptor

Different approaches were utilized to investigate the mechanism by which fusicoccin (FC) induces the activation of the H⁺-ATPase in plasma membrane (PM) isolated from radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings treated in vivo with (FC-PM) or without (C-PM) FC. Treatment of FC-PM with different detergents indicated that PM H⁺-ATPase and the FC-FC-binding-protein (FCBP) complex were solubilized to a similar extent. Fractionation of solubilized FC-PM proteins by a linear sucrose-density gradient showed that the two proteins comigrated and that PM H⁺-ATPase retained the activated state induced by FC. Solubilized PM proteins were also fractionated by a fast-protein liquid chromatography anion-exchange column. Comparison between C-PM and FC-PM indicated that in vivo treatment of the seedlings with FC caused different elution profiles; PM H⁺-ATPase from FC-PM was only partially separated from the FC-FCBP complex and eluted at a higher NaCl concentration than did PM H⁺-ATPase from C-PM. Western analysis of fast-protein liquid chromatography fractions probed with an anti-N terminus PM H⁺-ATPase antiserum and with an anti-14–3-3 antiserum indicated an FC-induced association of FCBP with the PM H⁺-ATPase. Analysis of the activation state of PM H⁺-ATPase in fractions in which the enzyme was partially separated from FCBP suggested that the establishment of an association between the two proteins was necessary to maintain the FC-induced activation of the enzyme.     

A calcium and free fatty acid-modulated protein kinase as putative effector of the fusicoccin 14-3-3 receptor.

A protein kinase that is activated by calcium and cis-unsaturated fatty acids has been characterized from oat (Avena sativa L.) root plasma membranes. The kinase phosphorylates a synthetic peptide with a motif (-R-T-L-S-) that can be phosphorylated by both protein kinase C (PKC) and calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK)-type kinases. Calphostin C and chelerythrine, two PKC inhibitors, completely inhibited the kinase activity with values of inhibitor concentration for 50% inhibition of 0.7 and 30 microns, respectively. At low Ca2+ concentrations cis-unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, and oleic acid) stimulated the kinase activity almost 10-fold. The two inhibitors of the kinase, calphostin C and chelerythrin, strongly reduced the fusicoccin (FC)-induced H+ extrusion, and the activators of the kinase, the cis-unsaturated fatty acids, prevented [3H]FC binding to the FC 14-3-3 receptor. CDPK antibodies cross-reacted with a 43-kD band in the plasma membrane and in a purified FC receptor fraction. A polypeptide with the same apparent molecular mass was recognized by a synthetic peptide that has a sequence homologous to the annexin-like domain from barely 14-3-3. The possibility of the involvement of a kinase, with properties from both CDPK and PKC, and a phospholipase A2 in the FC Signal transduction pathway is discussed.     

Purification and Identification of the Fusicoccin Binding Protein from Oat Root Plasma Membrane

Fusicoccin (FC), a fungal phytotoxin, stimulates the H⁺-ATPase located in the plasma membrane (PM) of higher plants. The first event in the reaction chain leading to enhanced H⁺-efflux seems to be the binding of FC to a FC-binding protein (FCBP) in the PM. We solubilized 90% of the FCBP from oat (Avena sativa L. cv Victory) root PM in an active form with 1% octyl-glucoside. The FCBP was stabilized by the presence of protease inhibitors. The FCBP was purified by affinity chromatography using FC-linked adipic acid dihydrazide agarose (FC-AADA). Upon elution with 8 molar urea, two major protein bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with molecular weights of 29,700 and 31,000 were obtained. Successive chromatography on DEAE Bio-Gel A, hexyl agarose, and FC-AADA resulted in the same two bands when the FC-AADA was eluted with sodium dodecyl sulfate. A direct correlation was made between ³H-FC-binding activity and the presence of the two protein bands. The stoichiometry of the 29,700 and 31,000 molecular weight bands was 1:2. This suggests that the FCBP occurs in the native form as a heterotrimer with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 92,000.
