    Regulating the regulator: nitric oxide control of post-translational modifications
    (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020) Gupta, Kapuganti Jagadis; Kolbert, Zsuzsanna; Durner, Jorg; Lindermayr, Christian; Corpas, Francisco J.; Brouquisse, Renaud; Barroso, Juan B.; Saima, Umbreen; Palma, José M; Hancock, John T.; Petrivalsky, Marek; Wendehenne, David; Loake, Gary J.
    Nitric oxide (NO) is perfectly suited for duties as a redox signalling molecule. A key route for NO bioactivity occurs via protein S‐nitrosation, the addition of a NO moiety to a protein cysteine (Cys) thiol (‐SH) to form a S‐nitrosothiol (SNO). This process is thought to underpin a myriad of cellular processes in plants linked to development, environmental responses and immune function. Here we collate emerging evidence showing that NO bioactivity regulates a growing number of diverse post‐translational modifications (PTMs) including SUMOylation, phosphorylation, persulfidation and acetylation. We provide examples of how NO orchestrates these processes to mediate plant adaptation to a variety of cellular cues.

    Recommendations on terminology and experimental best practice associated with plant nitric oxide research
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2020) Gupta, Kapuganti Jagadis; Hancock, John T.; Petrivalsky, Marek; Kolbert, Zsuzsanna; Lindermayr, Christian; Durner, Jorg; Barroso, Juan B.; Palma, José M.; Brouquisse, Renaud; Wendehenne, David; Corpas, Francisco J.; Loake, Gary J.
    Nitric oxide (NO) emerged as a key signal molecule in plants. During the last two decades impressive progress has been made in plant NO research. This small, redox‐active molecule is now known to play an important role in plant immunity, stress responses, environmental interactions, plant growth and development. To more accurately and robustly establish the full spectrum of NO bioactivity in plants, it will be essential to apply methodological best practice. In addition, there are some instances of conflicting nomenclature within the field, which would benefit from standardisation. In this context, we attempt to provide some helpful guidance for best practice associated with NO research and also suggestions for the cognate terminology.

    Pathways of nitric oxide metabolism and operation of phytoglobins in legume nodules: missing links and future directions
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2018) Berger, Antoine; Brouquisse, Renaud; Pathak, Pradeep Kumar; Hichri, Imène; Singh, Inderjit; Bhatia, Sabhyata; Boscari, Alexandre; Igamberdiev, Abir U.; Gupta, Kapuganti Jagadis
    The interaction between legumes and rhizobia leads to the establishment of a beneficial symbiotic relationship. Recent advances in legume - rhizobium symbiosis revealed that various reactive oxygen and nitrogen species including nitric oxide (NO) play important roles during this process. Nodule development occurs with a transition from a normoxic environment during the establishment of symbiosis to a microoxic environment in functional nodules. Such oxygen dynamics are required for activation and repression of various NO production and scavenging pathways. Both the plant and bacterial partners participate in the synthesis and degradation of NO. However, the pathways of NO production and degradation as well as their cross-talk and involvement in the metabolism are still a matter of debate. The plant-originated reductive pathways are known to contribute to the NO production in nodules under hypoxic conditions. Non-symbiotic hemoglobin (phytoglobin) (Pgb) possesses high NO oxygenation capacity, buffers and scavenges NO. Its operation, through a respiratory cycle called Pgb-NO cycle, leads to the maintenance of redox and energy balance in nodules. The role of Pgb/NO cycle under fluctuating NO production from soil needs further investigation for complete understanding of NO regulatory mechanism governing nodule development to attain optimal food security under changing environment.
