Title: Diversion of Carbon Flux from Sugars to Lipids Improves the Growth of an Arabidopsis Starchless Mutant

Abstract

Inactivation of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase1 (ADG1) causes a starchless phenotype in Arabidopsis. Mutants defective in ADG1 show severe growth retardation in day/night conditions but exhibit similar growth to the wild type under continuous light, implying an important role of starch in supporting respiration, metabolism and growth at night. In addition to carbohydrates, lipids and proteins can serve as alternative respiratory substrates for energy production in mature plants. To test the role of lipids in diurnal growth, we generated transgenic plants overexpressing phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (PDAT1) in adg1. We found that PDAT1 overexpression caused an increase in both fatty acid synthesis and turnover and increased accumulation of triacylglycerol (TAG) at the expense of sugars, and improved the diurnal growth of adg1. We demonstrated that unlike sugars, which were metabolized within a few hours of darkness, TAG breakdown was slow, occurring throughout the entire dark period. The slow pace of TAG hydrolysis enabled a sustained supply of fatty acids for energy production, thereby alleviating energy deficiency at night and hence improving growth of the starchless mutants. We conclude that lipids can contribute to diurnal plant growth by providing a constant supply of fatty acids as an alternative energy source in mature starchless mutant plants.

Purple acid phosphatase2 stimulates a futile cycle of lipid synthesis and degradation, and mitigates the negative growth effects of triacylglycerol accumulation in vegetative tissues

Journal Article Cai, Yingqi ; Zhai, Zhiyang ; Blanford, Jantana ; ... - New Phytologist

Storage lipids (mostly triacylglycerols, TAGs) serve as an important energy and carbon reserve in plants and hyperaccumulation of TAG in vegetative tissues can cause negative effects on plant growth. Purple acid phosphatase2 (PAP2) was shown previously to affect carbon metabolism and boost plant growth. However, the effects of PAP2 on lipid metabolism remain unknown. Here, we demonstrated PAP2 as a factor that can stimulate a futile cycle of fatty acid (FA) synthesis and degradation and mitigate negative growth effects associated with TAG accumulation in vegetative tissues. Constitutive expression of PAP2 in Arabidopsis thaliana enhanced both lipid synthesis and degradation inmore »« less

Tracking synthesis and turnover of triacylglycerol in leaves

Journal Article Tjellstrom, Henrik ; Strawsine, Merissa ; Ohlrogge, John B. - Journal of Experimental Botany

Triacylglycerol (TAG), typically represents <1% of leaf glycerolipids but can accumulate under stress and other conditions or if leaves are supplied with fatty acids, or in plants transformed with regulators or enzymes of lipid metabolism. To better understand the metabolism of TAG in leaves, pulse-chase radiolabelling experiments were designed to probe its synthesis and turnover. When Arabidopsis leaves were incubated with [¹⁴C]lauric acid (12:0), a major initial product was [¹⁴C]TAG. Thus, despite low steady-state levels, leaves possess substantial TAG biosynthetic capacity. The contributions of diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 and phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 to leaf TAG synthesis were examined by labelling of dgat1 andmore »« less

Mobilizing Vacuolar Sugar Increases Vegetative Triacylglycerol Accumulation

Journal Article Anaokar, Sanket ; Liu, Hui ; Keereetaweep, Jantana ; ... - Frontiers in Plant Science

Photosynthetically derived sugars provide carbon skeletons for metabolism and carbon signals that favor anabolism. The amount of sugar available for fatty acid (FA) and triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis depends on sugar compartmentation, transport, and demands from competing pathways. We are exploring the influence of sugar partitioning between the vacuole and cytoplasm on FA synthesis in Arabidopsis by building on our previous finding that reduced leaf sugar export in the sucrose-proton symporter2 (suc2) mutant, in combination with impaired starch synthesis in the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (adg1) mutant, accumulates higher sugar levels and increased total FA and TAG compared to the wild type parent.more »« less

Sugar Potentiation of Fatty Acid and Triacylglycerol Accumulation

Journal Article Zhai, Zhiyang ; Liu, Hui ; Xu, Changcheng ; ... - Plant Physiology (Bethesda)

Photosynthetically derived sugar provides carbon skeletons for lipid biosynthesis. We used mutants of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and the expression of oleogenic factors to investigate relationships among sugar availability, lipid synthesis, and the accumulation of triacylglycerol (TAG) in leaf tissue. The adg1 mutation disables the small subunit of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, the first step in starch synthesis, and the suc2 mutation disables a sucrose/proton symporter that facilitates sucrose loading from leaves into phloem. The adg1suc2 double mutant increases glucose plus sucrose content in leaves 80-fold relative to the wild type, total fatty acid (FA) content 1.8-fold to 8.3% dry weight, and TAGmore »« less

Towards oilcane: Engineering hyperaccumulation of triacylglycerol into sugarcane stems

Journal Article Parajuli, Saroj ; Kannan, Baskaran ; Karan, Ratna ; ... - Global Change Biology. Bioenergy

Metabolic engineering to divert carbon flux from sucrose to oil in high biomass crop like sugarcane is an emerging strategy to boost lipid yields per hectare for biodiesel production. Sugarcane stems comprise more than 70% of the crops' biomass and can accumulate sucrose in excess of 20% of their extracted juice. The energy content of oils in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) is more than two-fold that of carbohydrates. Here, we report a step change in TAG accumulation in sugarcane stem tissues achieving an average of 4.3% of their dry weight in replicated greenhouse experiments by multi-gene engineering.
