The Silencing of GhPIP5K2 and GhPIP5K22 Weakens Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Upland Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum). Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1511. [PMID: 38338791 PMCID: PMC10855785 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases (PIP5Ks), essential enzymes in the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway, are crucial for the abiotic stress responses and the overall growth and development of plants. However, the GhPIP5Ks had not been systematically studied, and their function in upland cotton was unknown. This study identified a total of 28 GhPIP5Ks, and determined their chromosomal locations, gene structures, protein motifs and cis-acting elements via bioinformatics analysis. A quantitative real-time PCR (qRT‒PCR) analysis showed that most GhPIP5Ks were upregulated under different stresses. A virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assay indicated that the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) activities were significantly decreased, while malondialdehyde (MDA) content were significantly increased in GhPIP5K2- and GhPIP5K22-silenced upland cotton plants under abiotic stress. Furthermore, the expression of the stress marker genes GhHSFB2A, GhHSFB2B, GhDREB2A, GhDREB2C, GhRD20-1, GhRD29A, GhBIN2, GhCBL3, GhNHX1, GhPP2C, GhCBF1, GhSnRK2.6 and GhCIPK6 was significantly decreased in the silenced plants after exposure to stress. These results revealed that the silencing of GhPIP5K2 and GhPIP5K22 weakened the tolerance to abiotic stresses. These discoveries provide a foundation for further inquiry into the actions of the GhPIP5K gene family in regulating the response and resistance mechanisms of cotton to abiotic stresses.

Abstract
To explore the function of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) in tomatoes, members of the tomato PIP5K family were identified and characterized using bioinformatic methods, and their expression patterns were also analyzed under salt stress and in different tissues. Twenty-one PIP5K members-namely, SlPIP5K1-SlPIP5K21-were identified from ten chromosomes, and these were divided into three groups according to a phylogenetic analysis. Further bioinformatic analysis showed four pairs of collinear relationships and fragment replication events among the SlPIP5K family members. To understand the possible roles of the SlPIP5Ks, a cis-acting element analysis was conducted, which indicated that tomato PIP5Ks could be associated with plant growth, hormones, and stress responses. We further validated the results of the in silico analysis by integrating RNA-seq and qRT-PCR techniques for salt- and hormone-treated tomato plants. Our results showed that SlPIP5K genes exhibited tissue- and treatment-specific patterns, and some of the SlPIP5Ks exhibited significantly altered expressions after our treatments, suggesting that they might be involved in these stresses. We selected one of the SlPIP5Ks that responded to our treatments, SlPIP5K2, to further understand its subcellular localization. Our results showed that SlPIP5K2 was located on the membrane. This study lays a foundation for the analysis of the biological functions of the tomato SlPIP5K genes and can also provide a theoretical basis for the selection and breeding of new tomato varieties and germplasm innovation, especially under salt stress.

Abstract
Efficient root-to-shoot delivery of water and nutrients in plants relies on the correct differentiation of xylem cells into hollow elements. While auxin is integral to the formation of xylem cells, it remains poorly characterized how each subcellular pool of this hormone regulates this process. Combining genetic and cell biological approaches, we investigated the bipartite activity of nucleoplasmic vs plasma membrane-associated phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate kinases PIP5K1 and its homolog PIP5K2 in Arabidopsis thaliana roots and uncovered a novel mechanism by which phosphoinositides integrate distinct aspects of the auxin signaling cascade and, in turn, regulate the onset of xylem differentiation. The appearance of undifferentiated cells in protoxylem strands of pip5k1 pip5k2 is phenomimicked in auxin transport and perception mutants and can be partially restored by the nuclear residence of PIP5K1. By contrast, exclusion of PIP5K1 from the nucleus hinders the auxin-mediated induction of the xylem master regulator VASCULAR RELATED NAC DOMAIN (VND) 7. A xylem-specific increase of auxin levels abolishes pip5k1 pip5k2 vascular defects, indicating that the establishment of auxin maxima is required to activate VND7-mediated xylem differentiation. Our results describe a new mechanism by which distinct subcellular pools of phosphoinositides integrate auxin transport and perception to initiate xylem differentiation in a spatiotemporal manner.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) is a catalytic kinase that performs multiple functions in organisms. Recent studies have shown that PIP5Kα in mammals can directly participate in the TLR-mediated innate immune regulation by controlling the production of PIP2. However, the PIP5K homologous gene has not been identified in Cephalochordata to date. In this study, we firstly identify and characterize a new PIP5K family member (designed as AmphiPIP5K) from Cephalochordata amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtaunese), particularly AmphiPIP5K is orthologous with vertebrate PIP5Kα and paralogous with PIP5Kβ and PIP5Kγ. Secondly, we find that the AmphiPIP5K is involved in amphioxus innate immune response to LPS stimulation. Thirdly, our results demonstrate that miR-2013 can inhibit AmphiPIP5K expression by binding to the CDS and 3' UTR regions of AmphiPIP5K. Collectively, our work not only demonstrates the evolutionary pattern of amphioxus PIP5K, but also reveals that miR-2013 negatively regulate PIP5K expression to involve in amphioxus innate immune response.

Abstract
The mechanisms that maintain genome stability are critical for preventing tumor progression. In the past decades, many strategies were developed for cancer treatment to disrupt the DNA repair machinery or alter repair pathway selection. Evidence indicates that alterations in nuclear phosphoinositide lipids occur rapidly in response to genotoxic stresses. This implies that nuclear phosphoinositides are an upstream element involved in DNA damage signaling. Phosphoinositides constitute a new signaling interface for DNA repair pathway selection and hence a new opportunity for developing cancer treatment strategies. However, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which nuclear phosphoinositides regulate DNA damage repair, and particularly the dynamics of those processes, is rather limited. This is partly because there are a limited number of techniques that can monitor changes in the location and/or abundance of nuclear phosphoinositide lipids in real time and in live cells. This review summarizes our current knowledge regarding the roles of nuclear phosphoinositides in DNA damage response with an emphasis on the dynamics of these processes. Based upon recent findings, there is a novel model for p53’s role with nuclear phosphoinositides in DNA damage response that provides new targets for synthetic lethality of tumors.

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or Kala-azar, the second-largest parasitic killer worldwide, is caused by Leishmania donovani. The drugs to treat VL are toxic and expensive. Moreover, their indiscriminate use gave rise to resistant strains. The high rate of parasite proliferation within the host macrophage cells causes pathogenesis. In the proliferative pathway, FRB domain of TOR protein is ubiquitously essential. Although orthologues of mTOR protein are reported in trypanosomatids and Leishmania but therein depth molecular characterization is yet to be done. Considerable protein sequence homology exists between the TOR of kinetoplastidas and mammals. Interestingly, exogenous human FRB domain was shown to block G1 to S transition in mammalian cancer cells. Thus, we hypothesized that expression of human FRB domain would inhibit the proliferation of Labrus donovani. Indeed, promastigotes stably expressing wild type human FRB domain show 4.7 and 1.5 folds less intra- and extra-cellular proliferations than that of untransfected controls. They also manifested 2.65 times lower rate of glucose stimulated oxygen consumption. The activities of all respiratory complexes were compromised in the hFRB expressing promastigotes. In these cells, depolarized mitochondria were 2-fold more than control cells. However, promastigotes expressing its mutant version (Trp2027-Phe) has shown similar characteristics like untransfected cells. Thus, this study reveals greater insights on the conserved role of TOR in the regulation of the respiratory complexes in L. donovani. The slow growing variant of FRB expressing promastigotes will have great potential to be exploited as a prophylactic agent against leishmaniasis.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling pathway plays key roles in many cellular processes and is altered in many diseases. The function and mode of action of the pathway have mostly been elucidated in the cytoplasm. However, many of the components of the PI3K pathway are also present in the nucleus at specific sub-nuclear sites including nuclear speckles, nuclear lipid islets and the nucleolus. Nucleoli are membrane-less subnuclear structures where ribosome biogenesis occurs. Processes leading to ribosome biogenesis are tightly regulated to maintain protein translation capacity of cells. This review focuses on nucleolar PI3K signalling and how it regulates rRNA synthesis, as well as on the identification of downstream phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)trisphosphate effector proteins.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositides (PPIns) play essential roles as lipid signaling molecules, and many of their functions have been elucidated in the cytoplasm. However, PPIns are also intranuclear where they contribute to chromatin remodeling, transcription, and mRNA splicing. The PPIn, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3), has been mapped to the nucleus and nucleoli, but its role remains unclear in this subcellular compartment. To gain further insights into the nuclear functions of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, we applied a previously developed quantitative MS-based approach to identify the targets of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 from isolated nuclei. We identified 179 potential PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-interacting partners, and gene ontology analysis for the biological functions of this dataset revealed an enrichment in RNA processing/splicing, cytokinesis, protein folding, and DNA repair. Interestingly, about half of these interactors were common to nucleolar protein datasets, some of which had dual functions in rRNA processes and DNA repair, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1, now referred as ADP-ribosyltransferase 1). PARP1 was found to interact directly with PPIn via three polybasic regions in the DNA-binding domain and the linker located N-terminal of the catalytic region. PARP1 was shown to bind to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 as well as phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate in vitro and to colocalize with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in the nucleolus and with phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate in nucleoplasmic foci. In conclusion, the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 interactome reported here will serve as a resource to further investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-mediated interactions in the nucleus and nucleolus. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) localizes to nucleoli. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 interactomics from isolated nuclei identifies nucleolar proteins. PARP1 interacts directly with polyphosphoinositides via several polybasic regions. PARP1 colocalizes with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in the nucleolus.

Abstract
The survival of plants hinges on their ability to perceive various environmental stimuli and translate them into appropriate biochemical responses. Phospholipids, a class of membrane lipid compounds that are asymmetrically distributed within plant cells, stand out among signal transmitters for their diversity of mechanisms by which they modulate stress and developmental processes. By modifying the chemo-physical properties of the plasma membrane (PM) as well as vesicle trafficking, phospholipids contribute to changes in the protein membrane landscape, and hence, signaling responses. In this article, we review the distinct signaling mechanisms phospholipids are involved in, with a special focus on the nuclear role of these compounds. Additionally, we summarize exemplary developmental processes greatly influenced by phospholipids.

Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases (PIP5Ks) are key enzymes in the process of phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway and have essential functions in growth, development, and biotic and abiotic stresses responses in plants. However, the evolutionary history and patterns of PIP5K genes in plants have not been examined systematically. Here, we use whole-genome sequences from eight plant species of land plants and algae to define the evolutionary relationships between these proteins in plants. 85 PIP5K genes were identified and divided into two subfamilies based on phylogenetic analyses. PIP5K members in subfamily II underwent several duplication events in land plants, resulting in multiple gene copies in angiosperms, while PIP5K members in subfamily I displayed low-copy numbers and lost in eudicots. Furthermore, PIP5K genes within the same subfamily had similar motifs and intron/exon features. Nine duplicated soybean gene pairs, four duplicated Arabidopsis gene pairs and two rice duplicated gene pairs were identified and many of them localized in synteny genomic regions. These duplicate events were formed by Whole-genome duplication (WGD)/segmental duplications. In addition, the ratios of non-synonymous to synonymous substitutions (Ka/Ks) showed that the PIP5K family had undergone purifying selection in higher plants. Expression analysis showed that PIP5K genes had complex and variable expression patterns in different developmental stages. The specificity of these genes is utilized to provide evidence for selective expression in the evolutionary process.

Abstract
The hallmarks of constitutive heterochromatin, HP1 and H3K9me2/3, assemble heterochromatin-like domains/complexes outside canonical constitutively heterochromatic territories where they regulate chromatin template-dependent processes. Domains are more than 100 kb in size; complexes less than 100 kb. They are present in the genomes of organisms ranging from fission yeast to human, with an expansion in size and number in mammals. Some of the likely functions of domains/complexes include silencing of the donor mating type region in fission yeast, preservation of DNA methylation at imprinted germline differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) and regulation of the phylotypic progression during vertebrate development. Far cis- and trans-contacts between micro-phase separated domains/complexes in mammalian nuclei contribute to the emergence of epigenetic compartmental domains (ECDs) detected in Hi-C maps. A thermodynamic description of micro-phase separation of heterochromatin-like domains/complexes may require a gestalt shift away from the monomer as the "unit of incompatibility" that determines the sign and magnitude of the Flory-Huggins parameter, χ. Instead, a more dynamic structure, the oligo-nucleosomal "clutch", consisting of between 2 and 10 nucleosomes is both the long sought-after secondary structure of chromatin and its unit of incompatibility. Based on this assumption we present a simple theoretical framework that enables an estimation of χ for domains/complexes flanked by euchromatin and thereby an indication of their tendency to phase separate. The degree of phase separation is specified by χN, where N is the number of "clutches" in a domain/complex. Our approach could provide an additional tool for understanding the biophysics of the 3D genome.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence reveals that nuclear phosphoinositides (PIs) serve as central signaling hubs that control a multitude of nuclear processes by regulating the activity of nuclear proteins. In response to cellular stressors, PIs accumulate in the nucleus and multiple PI isomers are synthesized by the actions of PI-metabolizing enzymes, kinases, phosphatases and phospholipases. By directly interacting with effector proteins, phosphoinositide signals transduce changes in cellular functions. Here we describe nuclear phosphoinositide signaling in multiple sub-nuclear compartments and summarize the literature that demonstrates roles for specific kinases, phosphatases, and phospholipases in the orchestration of nuclear phosphoinositide signaling in response to cellular stress. Additionally, we discuss the specific PI-protein complexes through which these lipids execute their functions by regulating the configuration, stability, and transcription activity of their effector proteins. Overall, our review provides a detailed landscape of the current understanding of the nuclear PI-protein interactome and its role in shaping the coordinated response to cellular stress.

Abstract
The relationship between compartmentalization of the genome and epigenetics is long and hoary. In 1928, Heitz defined heterochromatin as the largest differentiated chromatin compartment in eukaryotic nuclei. Müller's discovery of position-effect variegation in 1930 went on to show that heterochromatin is a cytologically visible state of heritable (epigenetic) gene repression. Current insights into compartmentalization have come from a high-throughput top-down approach where contact frequency (Hi-C) maps revealed the presence of compartmental domains that segregate the genome into heterochromatin and euchromatin. It has been argued that the compartmentalization seen in Hi-C maps is owing to the physiochemical process of phase separation. Oddly, the insights provided by these experimental and conceptual advances have remained largely silent on how Hi-C maps and phase separation relate to epigenetics. Addressing this issue directly in mammals, we have made use of a bottom-up approach starting with the hallmarks of constitutive heterochromatin, heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) and its binding partner the H3K9me2/3 determinant of the histone code. They are key epigenetic regulators in eukaryotes. Both hallmarks are also found outside mammalian constitutive heterochromatin as constituents of larger (0.1-5 Mb) heterochromatin-like domains and smaller (less than 100 kb) complexes. The well-documented ability of HP1 proteins to function as bridges between H3K9me2/3-marked nucleosomes contributes to polymer-polymer phase separation that packages epigenetically heritable chromatin states during interphase. Contacts mediated by HP1 'bridging' are likely to have been detected in Hi-C maps, as evidenced by the B4 heterochromatic subcompartment that emerges from contacts between large KRAB-ZNF heterochromatin-like domains. Further, mutational analyses have revealed a finer, innate, compartmentalization in Hi-C experiments that probably reflect contacts involving smaller domains/complexes. Proteins that bridge (modified) DNA and histones in nucleosomal fibres-where the HP1-H3K9me2/3 interaction represents the most evolutionarily conserved paradigm-could drive and generate the fundamental compartmentalization of the interphase nucleus. This has implications for the mechanism(s) that maintains cellular identity, be it a terminally differentiated fibroblast or a pluripotent embryonic stem cell.

Abstract
The many functions of phosphoinositides in cytosolic signaling were extensively studied; however, their activities in the cell nucleus are much less clear. In this review, we summarize data about their nuclear localization and metabolism, and review the available literature on their involvements in chromatin remodeling, gene transcription, and RNA processing. We discuss the molecular mechanisms via which nuclear phosphoinositides, in particular phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2), modulate nuclear processes. We focus on PI(4,5)P2’s role in the modulation of RNA polymerase I activity, and functions of the nuclear lipid islets—recently described nucleoplasmic PI(4,5)P2-rich compartment involved in RNA polymerase II transcription. In conclusion, the high impact of the phosphoinositide–protein complexes on nuclear organization and genome functions is only now emerging and deserves further thorough studies.

Abstract
Polyphosphoinositides (PPIns) are a family of seven lipid messengers that regulate a vast array of signalling pathways to control cell proliferation, migration, survival and differentiation. PPIns are differentially present in various sub-cellular compartments and, through the recruitment and regulation of specific proteins, are key regulators of compartment identity and function. Phosphoinositides and the enzymes that synthesise and degrade them are also present in the nuclear membrane and in nuclear membraneless compartments such as nuclear speckles. Here we discuss how PPIns in the nucleus are modulated in response to external cues and how they function to control downstream signalling. Finally we suggest a role for nuclear PPIns in liquid phase separations that are involved in the formation of membraneless compartments within the nucleus.

Abstract
Biomolecular interactions between proteins and polyphosphoinositides (PPIn) are essential in the regulation of the vast majority of cellular processes. Consequently, alteration of these interactions is implicated in the development of many diseases. PPIn are phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol and consist of seven species with different phosphate combinations. PPIn signal by recruiting proteins via canonical domains or short polybasic motifs. Although their actions are predominantly documented on cytoplasmic membranes, six of the seven PPIn are present within the nucleus together with the PPIn kinases, phosphatases and phospholipases that regulate their turnover. Importantly, the contribution of nuclear PPIn in the regulation of nuclear processes has led to an increased recognition of their importance compared to their more accepted cytoplasmic roles. This review summarises our knowledge on the identification and functional characterisation of nuclear PPIn-effector proteins as well as their mode of interactions, which tend to favour polybasic motifs.

Abstract
One of the most studied phosphoinositides is phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), which localizes to the plasma membrane, nuclear speckles, small foci in the nucleoplasm, and to the nucleolus in mammalian cells. Here, we show that PIP2 also localizes to the nucleus in prophase I, during the gametogenesis of C. elegans hermaphrodite. The depletion of PIP2 by type I PIP kinase (PPK-1) kinase RNA interference results in an altered chromosome structure and leads to various defects during meiotic progression. We observed a decreased brood size and aneuploidy in progeny, defects in synapsis, and crossover formation. The altered chromosome structure is reflected in the increased transcription activity of a tightly regulated process in prophase I. To elucidate the involvement of PIP2 in the processes during the C. elegans development, we identified the PIP2-binding partners, leucine-rich repeat (LRR-1) protein and proteasome subunit beta 4 (PBS-4), pointing to its involvement in the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway.
