dc.description.abstract | Besides their essential roles as substrates for carbon and energy metabolism, sugars also act in signal transduction, coordinating developmental and metabolic processes with nutrient availability. In animals, posttranslational modifications of nucleocytoplasmic proteins with β-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc; an amide derivative of glucose) by O-GlcNac transfer-ase (OGT) play a key role in nutrient sensing (Liu et al. 2015). The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome encodes two OGT homologs: SECRET AGENT (SEC) and SPINDLY (SPY) (Sun 2021). Whereas SEC is a canonical OGT, SPY catalyzes protein O-fucosylation using GDP-fucose (a nucleotide sugar derived from GDP-mannose) as a substrate. SPY was initially identified as a negative regulator of gib-berellin signaling and its importance for plant growth is underlined by the range of developmental defects observed in Arabidopsis spy mutants, which are generally more pronounced than those in sec mutants (Jacobsen and Olszewski 1993; Hartweck et al. 2002; Sun 2021). Recent studies identified a small number of SPY-interacting proteins, which were involved in hormone signaling, circadian clock function, as well as the regulation of transcription and RNA splicing. However, these only represented the tip of the iceberg among SPY targets, as has become apparent now. In this issue of The Plant Cell, Yang Bi, Ruben Shrestha and colleagues (Bi et al. 2023) identified a large number of O-fucosylated proteins from Arabidopsis by affinity purification. The authors first showed that spy mutants grew poorly on sucrose-supplemented media in the dark (see Figure), indicating a crucial role for SPY in sugar-dependent growth. To identify targets of SPY-mediated O-fucosylation, they developed an affinity chromatography method utilizing Aleuria aurantia lectin (AAL), which specifically binds to O-fucose (Bandini et al. 2016). A proteome-wide screen in wild-type plants using AAL affinity chromatography followed by mass spectrometry identified 943 O-fucosylated peptides originating from 467 different proteins. O-fucosylated pep-tides were either undetectable or found in strongly reduced levels in spy mutants (see Figure), supporting the idea that SPY is the only protein O-fucosyltransferase catalyzing terminal O-fucosylation in Arabidopsis. According to the sub-cellular localization database SUBA4.0 (https://suba.live/), almost 67% of the identified proteins had a predicted nuclear localization, and only 12% and 9% were predicted to be localized in the cytosol and plastids, respectively. By contrast, O-fucosylation in metazoans is found only in secreted and cell surface proteins and is catalyzed by ER-localized O-fucosyltransferases (Sun 2021). The results confirmed several previously reported SPY in-teractors including the DELLA protein RGA and the bHLH transcription factors TCP14 and TCP15, supporting the validity of the affinity chromatography approach. Gene ontology analysis showed significant enrichment of key molecular functions such as histone modification, transcription, RNA processing, translation, protein degradation and phosphoryl-ation, the cytoskeleton, and vesicle trafficking among O-fucosylation targets. Interestingly, several of the identified proteins are also proposed targets of SEC and/or TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR), providing evidence for the integration In Brief | - |
