| Popis: | Proteolytic enzymes are instrumental in various aspects of plant development, including senescence. This may be due not only to their digestive activity, which enables protein utilization, but also to fulfilling regulatory functions. Indeed, for the largest family of plant serine proteases, subtilisin-like proteases (subtilases), several members of which have been implicated in leaf and plant senescence, both non-specific proteolysis and regulatory protein processing have been documented. Here, we strived to identify the protein partners of phytaspase, a plant subtilase involved in stress-induced programmed cell death that possesses a characteristic aspartate-specific hydrolytic activity and unusual localization dynamics. A proximity-dependent biotin identification approach in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves producing phytaspase fused to a non-specific biotin ligase TurboID was employed. Although the TurboID moiety appeared to be unstable in the apoplast environment, several intracellular candidate protein interactors of phytaspase were identified. These were mainly, though not exclusively, represented by soluble residents of the endoplasmic reticulum, namely endoplasmin, BiP, and calreticulin-3. For calreticultin-3, whose gene is characterized by an enhanced expression in senescing leaves, direct interaction with phytaspase was confirmed in an in vitro binding assay using purified proteins. In addition, an apparent alteration of post-translational modification of calreticultin-3 in phytaspase-overproducing plant cells was observed. |
