Large-Scale Arabidopsis Phosphoproteome Profiling Reveals Novel Chloroplast Kinase Substrates and Phosphorylation Networks

TLDR
The phosphoproteome of Arabidopsis seedlings is characterized using high-accuracy mass spectrometry and it is proposed that ATP synthase is regulated in cooperation with 14-3-3 proteins by CKII-mediated phosphorylation of ATP synthases β-subunit in the dark.
Abstract
We have characterized the phosphoproteome of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings using high-accuracy mass spectrometry and report the identification of 1,429 phosphoproteins and 3,029 unique phosphopeptides. Among these, 174 proteins were chloroplast phosphoproteins. Motif-X (motif extractor) analysis of the phosphorylation sites in chloroplast proteins identified four significantly enriched kinase motifs, which include casein kinase II (CKII) and proline-directed kinase motifs, as well as two new motifs at the carboxyl terminus of ribosomal proteins. Using the phosphorylation motifs as a footprint for the activity of a specific kinase class, we connected the phosphoproteins with their putative kinases and constructed a chloroplast CKII phosphorylation network. The network topology suggests that CKII is a central regulator of different chloroplast functions. To provide insights into the dynamic regulation of protein phosphorylation, we analyzed the phosphoproteome at the end of day and end of night. The results revealed only minor changes in chloroplast kinase activities and phosphorylation site utilization. A notable exception was ATP synthase β-subunit, which is found phosphorylated at CKII phosphorylation sites preferentially in the dark. We propose that ATP synthase is regulated in cooperation with 14-3-3 proteins by CKII-mediated phosphorylation of ATP synthase β-subunit in the dark.

Plant proteome changes under abiotic stress--contribution of proteomics studies to understanding plant stress response

TL;DR: In this review, proteomics studies dealing with plant response to a broad range of abiotic stress factors--cold, heat, drought, waterlogging, salinity, ozone treatment, hypoxia and anoxia, herbicide treatments, inadequate or excessive light conditions, disbalances in mineral nutrition, enhanced concentrations of heavy metals, radioactivity and mechanical wounding are discussed.

Regulation of Photosynthesis during Abiotic Stress-Induced Photoinhibition

TL;DR: The current understanding of ROS signaling and the regulatory functions of various components, including protein kinases, transcription factors, and phytohormones, in the responses of photosynthetic machinery to abiotic stress are discussed and potential areas of further studies are indicated.

Proline Metabolism and Its Implications for Plant-Environment Interaction

TL;DR: Use of model systems such as Arabidopsis thaliana to better understand both these long studied and newly emerging functions of proline can help in the design of next-generation experiments testing whether proline metabolism is a promising metabolic engineering target for improving stress resistance of economically important plants.

Proteomics: a pragmatic perspective

TL;DR: This Perspective compares areas of proteomics broadly usable today with those that require significant technical and conceptual development and hopes to provide nonexperts with a guide for calibrating expectations of what can realistically be learned from a proteomics experiment and for gauging the planning and execution effort.

Photosynthetic control of electron transport and the regulation of gene expression

TL;DR: Mining literature data on transcriptome profiles of leaves from plants grown under high atmospheric carbon dioxide levels compared with those grown with ambient CO(2) reveals that the transition to higher photorespiratory conditions in C(3) plants enhances the expression of genes associated with cyclic electron flow pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana, consistent with the higher ATP requirement (relative to NADPH) of photorespiration.

Improved scoring of functional groups from gene expression data by decorrelating GO graph structure

TL;DR: Two novel algorithms that improve GO group scoring using the underlying GO graph topology are presented and it is shown that both methods eliminate local dependencies between GO terms and point to relevant areas in the GO graph that remain undetected with state-of-the-art algorithms for scoring functional terms.

Prediction of post-translational glycosylation and phosphorylation of proteins from the amino acid sequence.

TL;DR: A new method for kinase‐specific prediction of phosphorylation sites, NetPhosK, is presented, which extends the earlier and more general tool, netPhos, and the issues of underestimation, over‐prediction and strategies for improving prediction specificity are discussed.

A probability-based approach for high-throughput protein phosphorylation analysis and site localization.

TL;DR: A large-scale phosphorylation data set is provided with a measured error rate as determined by the target-decoy approach, an approach to maximize data set sensitivity by efficiently distracting incorrect peptide spectral matches (PSMs) is demonstrated, and a probability-based score is presented, the Ascore, that measures the probability of correct phosphorylated site localization based on the presence and intensity of site-determining ions in MS/MS spectra.
