Abstract
Biotin is an essential vitamin in plants. However, characterization of biotin deficiency has been limited by embryo lethality in mutants, which can only be rescued by supplementation of biotin. Here, we describe a protocol to characterize biotin deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana through application of the polyamine cadaverine. Cadaverine induces changes in primary root growth. Protein biotinylation in Arabidopsis seedlings can be quantified through an assay similar to a western blot, in which protein biotinylation is detected by a streptavidin probe. This technique provides a chemical means of inhibiting biotin synthesis, allowing for further characterization of biotin deficiency on a physiological and molecular level.
Keywords: Cadaverine (尸胺)Background
Polyamines, like cadaverine, are small organic compounds with functions in the development and environmental sensing processes in plants (reviewed in Jancewicz et al., 2016). Previous studies have shown an effect of cadaverine on root growth architecture, through inhibition of primary root growth, increased lateral root branching, altered root skewing, and root waving (Strohm et al., 2015). To identify the molecular mechanism of cadaverine response, a forward genetic screen was carried out on Arabidopsis seedlings, which identified a mutation in the biotin synthesis gene BIO3-BIO1 leading to a short-root, cadaverine-hypersensitive response (Gibbs et al., 2021). From this study, we learned that cadaverine is able to inhibit biotin synthesis through interference with BIO3-BIO1 enzymatic function. Biotin is a necessary vitamin that is required for gluconeogenesis, amino acid homeostasis, and de novo fatty acid biosynthesis (Alban and Douce, 2000). The decrease in biotin derived from cadaverine treatment yields a deficit in the biotinylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) component of biotin carboxyl carrier protein 1 (BCCP1), resulting in decreased fatty acid production. The depletion of biotin also results in cell death, within both shoot and root tissues (Li et al., 2012; Gibbs et al., 2021). Using cadaverine, we can deplete the amount of biotin within seedlings, which is a useful way to characterize the physiological role played by biotin deficiency. Biotin depletion in plant tissue can be confirmed through analysis of biotinylation of proteins using a streptavidin probe (Figure 1) (Wurtele and Nikolau, 1990; Guan et al., 1999; Che et al., 2003; Li et al., 2012). Streptavidin can detect at least three biotin-containing proteins: ACCase components BCCP1 and BCCP2, and methylcrotonoyl-CoA carboxylase (MCCA).
