The membrane proteome of Medicago truncatula roots displays qualitative and quantitative changes in response to arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

2014

International audience; Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis that associates roots of most land plants with soil-borne fungi (Glomeromycota), is characterized by reciprocal nutritional benefits. Fungal colonization of plant roots induces massive changes in cortical cells where the fungus differentiates an arbuscule, which drives proliferation of the plasma membrane. Despite the recognized importance of membrane proteins in sustaining AM symbiosis, the root microsomal proteome elicited upon mycorrhiza still remains to be explored. In this study, we first examined the qualitative composition of the root membrane proteome of Medicago truncatula after microsome enrichment and subsequent in dep…

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) are widespread symbiotic associations between plant roots and AM fungi. Deep membrane alterations are the foremost morphological changes occurring in the host plant in response to AM symbiosis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) is the workhorse method in AM proteomics. Membrane proteins are under-represented in 2-DE because of their hydrophobicity, low abundance, and precipitation at their isoelectric point, thereby few are the identified membrane proteins involved in sustaining the AM symbiosis. Membrane proteomics is still challenging due to 2-DE related shortcomings, however latest trends and advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative p…

'Future artists' 37   'Acknowledgements' 38   References 38 Summary The roots of most land plants can enter a relationship with soil-borne fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota. This symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi belongs to the so-called biotrophic interactions, involving the intracellular accommodation of a microorganism by a living plant cell without causing the death of the host. Although profiling technologies have generated an increasing depository of plant and fungal proteins eligible for sustaining AM accommodation and functioning, a …

Label-free 1-DE-LC-MS/MS to identify arbuscular mycorrhiza-related membrane proteins

2012

Deep changes in the shape and number of organelles, together with profound modifications in various membrane compartments, are induced within arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. In this context, to investigate the membrane-associated proteins that are regulated in the model interaction Medicago truncatula – Rhizophagus irregularis, label-free 1DE-LC-MS/MS approach has been employed as alternative to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The existence of a correlation between protein abundance and peak areas or number of MS/MS spectra has widened the choice of label-free quantitative proteomics. The results highlighted microsomal protein candidates that could be involved in the symbiotic e…
