The scaffold proteins of lignin biosynthetic cytochrome P450 enzymes
Abstract
Lignin is a complex and irregular biopolymer of cross-linked phenylpropanoid units in plant secondary cell walls. Its biosynthesis requires three endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, C4H, C3'H and F5H, to establish the structural characteristics of its monomeric precursors. Those P450 enzymes were reported to associate with each other or potentially with other soluble monolignol biosynthetic enzymes to form enzyme complex or metabolone. However, molecular basis governing such enzyme or pathway organization remains elusive. Here we show that Arabidopsis membrane steroid binding proteins (MSBPs) serve as scaffold physically organizing monolignol P450 monooxygenases thereby regulating lignin biosynthetic process. We find that although C4H, C3'H and F5H are in spatial proximity to each other on ER membrane in vivo, they do not appear to directly interact with each other. Instead, two MSBP proteins physically interact with all three P450 enzymes and, moreover, MSBPs themselves associate as homo- and heteromers on the ER membrane, thereby organizing P450 clusters. Down-regulation of MSBPs does not affect the transcription levels of monolignol biosynthetic P450 genes but substantially impairs the stability and activity of the MSBP-interacting P450 enzymes and, consequently, the lignin deposition, the accumulation of soluble phenolics in monolignol branch but not in flavonoid pathway.
