    Proteomic signatures uncover phenotypic plasticity of susceptible and resistant genotypes by wall remodelers in rice blast
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2024) Sinha, Arunima; Narula, Kanika; Bhola, Latika; Sengupta, Atreyee; Choudhary, Pooja; Nalwa, Pragya; Kumar, Mohit; Elagamey, Eman; Chakraborty, Niranjan; Chakraborty, Subhra
    Molecular communication between macromolecules dictates extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics during pathogen recognition and disease development. Extensive research has shed light on how plant immune components are activated, regulated and function in response to pathogen attack. However, two key questions remain largely unresolved: (i) how does ECM dynamics govern susceptibility and disease resistance, (ii) what are the components that underpin these phenomena? Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae adversely affects rice productivity. To understand ECM regulated genotype-phenotype plasticity in blast disease, we temporally profiled two contrasting rice genotypes in disease and immune state. Morpho-histological, biochemical and electron microscopy analyses revealed that increased necrotic lesions accompanied by electrolyte leakage governs disease state. Wall carbohydrate quantification showed changes in pectin level was more significant in blast susceptible compared to blast resistant cultivar. Temporally resolved quantitative disease- and immune-responsive ECM proteomes identified 308 and 334 proteins, respectively involved in wall remodelling and integrity, signalling and disease/immune response. Pairwise comparisons between time and treatment, messenger ribonucleic acid expression, diseasome and immunome networks revealed novel blast-related functional modules. Data demonstrated accumulation of α-galactosidase and phosphatase were associated with disease state, while reactive oxygen species, induction of Lysin motif proteins, CAZymes and extracellular Ca-receptor protein govern immune state.

    Combining extracellular matrix proteome and phosphoproteome of chickpea and meta-analysis reveal novel proteoforms and evolutionary significance of clade-specific wall-associated events in plant

    Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays central roles in cell architecture, innate defense andcell wall integrity (CWI) signaling. During transition to multicellularity, modulardomain structures of ECM proteins and proteoforms have evolved due to continuousadaptation across taxonomic clades under different ecological niche. Although thisincredible diversity has to some extent been investigated at protein level, extracellu-lar phosphorylation events and molecular evolution of ECM proteoform familiesremains unexplored. We developed matrisome proteoform atlas in a grain legume,chickpea and performed meta-analyses of 74 plant matrisomes. MS/MS analysisidentified 1,424 proteins and 315 phosphoproteins involved in diverse functions.Cross-species ECM protein network identified proteoforms associated with CWImaintenance system. Phylogenetic characterization of eighteen matrix protein fami-lies highlighted the role of taxon-specific paralogs and orthologs. Novel informationwas acquired on gene expansion and loss, co-divergence, sub functionalization andneofunctionalization during evolution. Modular networks of matrix protein familiesand hub proteins showed higher diversity across taxonomic clades than amongorgans. Furthermore, protein families differ in nonsynonymous to synonymous sub-stitution rates. Our study pointed towards the matrix proteoform functionality,sequence divergence variation, interactions between wall remodelers and molecularevolution using a phylogenetic framework. This is the first report on comprehensivematrisome proteoform network illustrating presence of CWI signaling proteins inland plants.

    Comparative proteomics reveals a role for seed storage protein, AmA1 in cellular growth, development and nutrient accumulation
    (American Chemical Society, 2013) Agrawal, Lalit; Narula, Kanika; Basu, Swaraj; Shekhar, Shubhendu; Ghosh, Sudip; Datta, Asis; Chakraborty, Niranjan; Chakraborty, Subhra
    Seed storage proteins are known to be utilized as carbon and nitrogen source for growing seedlings and thus are considered as potential candidates for nutritional improvement. However, their precise function remains unknown. We have earlier shown that ectopic expression of a seed storage protein, AmA1, leads to increase in protein besides high tuber yield in potato. To elucidate the AmA1-regulated molecular mechanism affecting increased protein synthesis, reserve accumulation, and enhanced growth, a comparative proteomics approach has been applied to tuber life-cycle between wild-type and AmA1 potato. The differential display of proteomes revealed 150 AmA1-responsive protein spots (ARPs) that change their intensities more than 2.5-fold. The LC-ESI-MS/MS analyses led to the identification of 80 ARPs presumably associated with cell differentiation, regulating diverse functions, viz., protein biogenesis and storage, bioenergy and metabolism, and cell signaling. Metabolome study indicated up-regulation of amino acids paralleling the proteomics analysis. To validate this, we focused our attention on anatomical study that showed differences in cell size in the cortex, premedullary zone and pith of the tuber, coinciding with AmA1 expression and localization. Further, we interrogated the proteome data using one-way analysis of variance, cluster, and partial correlation analysis that identified two significant protein modules and six small correlation groups centered around isoforms of cysteine protease inhibitor, actin, heat shock cognate protein 83 and 14-3-3, pointing toward AmA1-regulated overlapping processes of protein enhancement and cell growth perhaps through a common mechanism of function. A model network was constructed using the protein data sets, which aim to show how target proteins might work in coordinated fashion and attribute to increased protein synthesis and storage reserve accumulation in AmA1 tubers on one hand and organ development on the other.
