; ; Paris, NadineThe tonoplast was proposed as a default destination of membrane-bound proteins without specific targeting signals. To investigate the nature of this targeting, we created type I fusion proteins with green fluorescent protein followed by the transmembrane domain of the human lysosomal protein LAMP1. We varied the length of the transmembrane domain from 23 to either 20 or 17 amino acids by deletion within the hydrophobic domain. The resulting chimeras, called TM23, TM20, and TM17, were expressed either transiently or stably in tobacco. TM23 clearly accumulated in the plasmalemma, as confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. In contrast, TM17 clearly was retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, and TM20 accumulated in small mobile structures. The nature of the TM20-labeled compartments was investigated by coexpression with a marker localized mainly in the Golgi apparatus, AtERD2, fused to a yellow fluorescent protein. The strict colocalization of both fluorescent proteins indicated that TM20 accumulated in the Golgi apparatus. To further test the default destination of type I membrane proteins, green fluorescent protein was fused to the 19–amino acid transmembrane domain of the plant vacuolar sorting receptor BP-80. The resulting chimera also accumulated in the Golgi instead of in post-Golgi compartments, where native BP-80 localized. Additionally, when the transmembrane domain of BP-80 was lengthened to 22 amino acids, the reporter escaped the Golgi and accumulated in the plasma membrane. Thus, the tonoplast apparently is not a favored default destination for type I membrane proteins in plants. Moreover, the target membrane where the chimera concentrates is not unique and depends at least in part on the length of the membrane-spanning domain. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementThe destination for single-pass membrane proteins is influenced markedly by the length of the hydrophobic domain(2002)
; ; Paris, Nadine - PublicationAccès libreRegeneration of a Lytic Central Vacuole and of Neutral Peripheral Vacuoles Can Be Visualized by Green Fluorescent Proteins Targeted to Either Type of Vacuoles(2001)
; Protein trafficking to two different types of vacuoles was investigated in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv SR1) mesophyll protoplasts using two different vacuolar green fluorescent proteins (GFPs). One GFP is targeted to a pH-neutral vacuole by the C-terminal vacuolar sorting determinant of tobacco chitinase A, whereas the other GFP is targeted to an acidic lytic vacuole by the N-terminal propeptide of barley aleurain, which contains a sequence-specific vacuolar sorting determinant. The trafficking and final accumulation in the central vacuole (CV) or in smaller peripheral vacuoles differed for the two reporter proteins, depending on the cell type. Within 2 d, evacuolated (mini-) protoplasts regenerate a large CV. Expression of the two vacuolar GFPs in miniprotoplasts indicated that the newly formed CV was a lytic vacuole, whereas neutral vacuoles always remained peripheral. Only later, once the regeneration of the CV was completed, the content of peripheral storage vacuoles could be seen to appear in the CV of a third of the cells, apparently by heterotypic fusion. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementRegeneration of a lytic central vacuole and of neutral peripheral vacuoles can be visualized by green fluorescent proteins targeted to either type of vacuoles(2001)

; The green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria can be detected in living plant cells after transient transformation of protoplasts. Expression of the GFP can be used to monitor protein trafficking in a mixed cell population and also to study the different function and importance of organelles in different cell types. We developed a vacuolar form of GFP that was obtained by replacing the C-terminal endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-retention motif of mGFP5-ER by the vacuolar targeting peptide of tobacco chitinase A. The vacuolar GFP was transported and accumulated in the vacuole as expected. However, we found two patterns of GFP accumulation after prolonged incubation (18–24 h) depending on the cell type. Most chloroplast-rich protoplasts had a fluorescent large central vacuole. In contrast, most chloroplast-poor protoplasts accumulated the GFP in one smaller vacuole but not in the large central vacuole, which was visible under a light microscope in the same cell. This differential accumulation reflected the existence of two different vacuolar compartments as described recently by immunolocalization of several vacuolar markers. We were able to characterize the vacuolar compartment to which GFP is specifically targeted as non-acidic, since it did not accumulate neutral red while acidic vacuoles did not accumulate GFP. - PublicationAccès libreAnalysis of the 22 kbp long psbD-psbC gene cluster of Euglena gracilis chloroplast DNA : Evidence for overlapping transcription units undergoing differential processing(1994-05-17)
