Gunnar Wingsle working with a mass spectrometer

Wood is a major source of renewable raw materials that are widely used in the pulp, paper, and timber industries. Poplar has emerged as the model tree for woody species, and molecular tools have been developed that allow breakthrough science in this forest tree. In my research, a major focus has been on proteins that have been shown to play a role in wood development and more specifically in ligno-cellolusic processes. To study this, different proteomics techniques have been explored and developed.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)

ROS have recently been suggested to act as signaling molecules in the control of specialized processes, such as plant growth and defense, hormonal signaling, and development. Within the project, my group has explored the possibility to alter wood quality by the regulation of ROS at the plasmalemma/cell wall interface using transgenic methodology. A special type of superoxide dismutase with a high isoelectric point (hipI-SOD) has been mainly considered for this genetic manipulation due to its possible role as a regulator of hydrogen peroxide in the polymerization of lignin. Thorough characterization of this protein in Poplar has shown that it exists in two isoforms and in an additional spliced form. We are currently using these plants to study the underlying mechanisms of ROS-mediated regulation of cell wall development using multivariate methods in combination with data from metabolomic and transcriptomic platforms.

Lignocellulose regulating proteins

In this project we are taking a proteomic approach to answer fundamental questions about cellulose deposition in the secondary cell wall that are important for chemical and ultra structural properties of xylem fibers in wood. In our focuses to achieve this goal we will explore the structural composition and function of cellulose synthases (CesAs) in the plasma membrane of wood fibers. The project will highly depend on masspectrometry in combination with multivariate statistics and bioinformatics. Another group of proteins that has been identified as central to the regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism is the MYB transcription factor family. Each MYB transcription factor contains a conserved DNA-binding domain, located in the N-terminal part of the protein. One of the intriguing features of PttMYB21a antisense plants was the presence of lignin compounds with increased degrees of methoxylation. Moreover, elevated levels of caffeoyl CoA 3-O-methyltransferase transcripts were found in the transgenic plants, suggesting that PttMYB21a could act as a transcriptional repressor.

Model showing the mediator protein complex.The Mediator and close functional relations between the Mediator modules and other transcriptional regulators (from Oudgenoeg et al. unpulished data)

General transcription The Mediator

In all eukaryotes, protein-encoding genes are transcribed by pol II. To perform its most basal functions, pol II requires five general transcription factors (GTFs). It is also now known that a Mediator, a 25 subunit protein complex, functions as a connector between the promoter-bound transcriptional regulators and pol II. The Mediator was first identified in Saccharomyces as an activity required for transcriptional activation in vitro. Later, it was identified as a multiprotein complex that provides an interface for activator and repressor proteins to transmit information from regulatory DNA elements to core promoters. A number of studies have determined that the Mediator is composed of three modules designated as "tail", "head", and "middle". It is important for transcription control, modulating the frequency of initiation in responses to both positive and negative regulatory factors. Surprisingly, prior to our publication (Bäckstrom et al. 2007), there had been no reports of the Mediator in plants. We are now studying redox mechanisms of this complex.

            The neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) share some common molecular deficits including disruption of protein homeostasis leading to disease-specific protein aggregation. While insoluble protein aggregates are the defining pathological confirmation of diagnosis, patient stratification based on early molecular etiologies may identify distinct subgroups within a clinical diagnosis that would respond differently in therapeutic development programs. We are developing targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry methods to rigorously quantify CSF proteins from known disease genes involved in lysosomal, ubiquitin-proteasomal, and autophagy pathways. Analysis of CSF from 21 PD, 21 ALS, and 25 control patients, rigorously matched for gender, age, and age of sample, revealed significant changes in peptide levels between PD, ALS, and control. In patients with PD, levels of two peptides for chromogranin B (CHGB, secretogranin 1) were significantly reduced.

Abstract The neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) share some common molecular deficits including disruption of protein homeostasis leading to disease-specific protein aggregation. While insoluble protein aggregates are the defining pathological confirmation of diagnosis, patient stratification based on early molecular etiologies may identify distinct subgroups within a clinical diagnosis that would respond differently in therapeutic development programs. We are developing targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry methods to rigorously quantify CSF proteins from known disease genes involved in lysosomal, ubiquitin-proteasomal, and autophagy pathways. Analysis of CSF from 21 PD, 21 ALS, and 25 control patients, rigorously matched for gender, age, and age of sample, revealed significant changes in peptide levels between PD, ALS, and control. In patients with PD, levels of two peptides for chromogranin B (CHGB, secretogranin 1) were significantly reduced. In CSF of patients with ALS, levels of two peptides from ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase like protein 1 (UCHL1) and one peptide each for glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) and cathepsin D (CTSD) were all increased. Analysis of patients with ALS separated into two groups based on length of survival after CSF sampling revealed that the increases in GPNMB and UCHL1 were specific for short-lived ALS patients. While analysis of additional cohorts is required to validate these candidate biomarkers, this study suggests methods for stratification of ALS patients for clinical trials and identifies targets for drug efficacy measurements during therapeutic development.

Whereas Trx-like2.1 and Trx-lilium2.2 were efficiently regenerated both by NADPH-Trx reductase and glutathione, none of the proteins were reduced by the ferredoxin-Trx reductase. Only Trx-like2.1 supports the activity of plastidial thiol peroxidases and methionine sulfoxide reductases employing a single cysteine residue for catalysis and using a glutathione recycling system. The second active site cysteine of Trx-like2.1 is dispensable for this reaction, indicating that the protein possesses a glutaredoxin-like activity. Interestingly, the Trx-like2.1 active site replacement, from WCRKC to WCGPC, suppresses its capacity to use glutathione as a reductant but is sufficient to allow the regeneration of target proteins employing two cysteines for catalysis, indicating that the nature of the residues composing the active site sequence is crucial for substrate selectivity/recognition. This study provides another example of the cross talk existing between the glutathione/glutaredoxin and Trx-dependent pathways.},

Whereas Trx-like2.1 and Trx-lilium2.2 were efficiently regenerated both by NADPH-Trx reductase and glutathione, none of the proteins were reduced by the ferredoxin-Trx reductase. Only Trx-like2.1 supports the activity of plastidial thiol peroxidases and methionine sulfoxide reductases employing a single cysteine residue for catalysis and using a glutathione recycling system. The second active site cysteine of Trx-like2.1 is dispensable for this reaction, indicating that the protein possesses a glutaredoxin-like activity. Interestingly, the Trx-like2.1 active site replacement, from WCRKC to WCGPC, suppresses its capacity to use glutathione as a reductant but is sufficient to allow the regeneration of target proteins employing two cysteines for catalysis, indicating that the nature of the residues composing the active site sequence is crucial for substrate selectivity/recognition. This study provides another example of the cross talk existing between the glutathione/glutaredoxin and Trx-dependent pathways.

	abstract = {Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are small ubiquitous proteins of the thioredoxin (Trx) family, which catalyze dithiol–disulfide exchange reactions or reduce protein-mixed glutathione disulfides. In plants, several Trx-interacting proteins have been isolated from different compartments, whereas very few Grx-interacting proteins are known. We describe here the determination of Grx target proteins using a mutated poplar Grx, various tissular and subcellular plant extracts, and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry detection. We have identified 94 putative targets, involved in many processes, including oxidative stress response [peroxiredoxins (Prxs), ascorbate peroxidase, catalase], nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon metabolisms (methionine synthase, alanine aminotransferase, phosphoglycerate kinase), translation (elongation factors E and Tu), or protein folding (heat shock protein 70). Some of these proteins were previously found to interact with Trx or to be glutathiolated in other organisms, but others could be more specific partners of Grx. To substantiate further these data, Grx was shown to support catalysis of the stroma β-type carbonic anhydrase and Prx IIF of Arabidopsis thaliana, but not of poplar 2-Cys Prx. Overall, these data suggest that the interaction could occur randomly either with exposed cysteinyl disulfide bonds formed within or between target proteins or with mixed disulfides between a protein thiol and glutathione.Antioxid.

Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are small ubiquitous proteins of the thioredoxin (Trx) family, which catalyze dithiol–disulfide exchange reactions or reduce protein-mixed glutathione disulfides. In plants, several Trx-interacting proteins have been isolated from different compartments, whereas very few Grx-interacting proteins are known. We describe here the determination of Grx target proteins using a mutated poplar Grx, various tissular and subcellular plant extracts, and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry detection. We have identified 94 putative targets, involved in many processes, including oxidative stress response [peroxiredoxins (Prxs), ascorbate peroxidase, catalase], nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon metabolisms (methionine synthase, alanine aminotransferase, phosphoglycerate kinase), translation (elongation factors E and Tu), or protein folding (heat shock protein 70). Some of these proteins were previously found to interact with Trx or to be glutathiolated in other organisms, but others could be more specific partners of Grx. To substantiate further these data, Grx was shown to support catalysis of the stroma β-type carbonic anhydrase and Prx IIF of Arabidopsis thaliana, but not of poplar 2-Cys Prx. Overall, these data suggest that the interaction could occur randomly either with exposed cysteinyl disulfide bonds formed within or between target proteins or with mixed disulfides between a protein thiol and glutathione.Antioxid.

Gunnar Wingsle som arbetar med en masspektrometer.

Inom detta projekt undersöker vi hur reaktiva radikaler och transkriptionsfaktorer påverkar lignifieringsprocessen i ved. Vi har bl.a. identifierat subeneheterna i ett mediatorkomplex hos växter. Denna enhet samverkar med andra centrala proteinkomplex vid transkriptionen och inbegriper merparten av alla producerade mRNAn och proteiner i cellen.

Att få en djupare förståelse hur delar av mediatorn regleras och samverkar med olika transkriptionfaktorer kan få en mycket stor betydelse om man vill styra en process i önskad riktning. Man kan helt enkelt uttrycka sig så att enheten utgör ett ”reläkomplex” för reglering av transkriptionen och som integrerar signaler som styr olika processer i cellen.

Inom detta projekt vill vi identifiera subenheter och associerade proteiner till mediatorn som har betydelse för regleringen av vedspecifika funktioner som lignifiering av cellväggen. I en förlängning av dessa inledande studier hoppas vi framöver kunna modifiera och påverka produktionen av biomassa med hjälp av riktad bioteknik.
