Abstract

Background. During the colonization of root and nodule tissues of legumes by rhizobia, bacterial cells are immersed in a plant extracellular matrix which includes arabinogalactan protein-extensins (AGPE).

Materials and methods. Immunogold electron microscopy with monoclonal antibodies MAC204 and MAC236 was used to analyse the distribution and abundance of epitopes of AGPE in wild-type and symbiotically defective pea mutants.

Results. In the nodules of the wild-type line SGE, both AGPE epitopes were detected to the same extent in the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets. In the nodules of the mutant line SGEFix−-1 (sym40), the level of labelling by MAC204 was significantly higher than with SGE in both infection threads and infection droplets, but the level of labelling by MAC236 was only increased in the infection droplets. In the mutant line SGEFix−-2 (sym33-3), a relatively high level of both epitopes was observed among all analysed genotypes. The double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40) showed an intermediate level of labelling for both epitopes in infection threads compared with the parental mutants. In SGEFix−-1, an abnormal distribution of both epitopes was observed in the intercellular space matrix. The MAC204 epitope was found in the cell walls of SGEFix−-1 and in the infection thread walls of SGEFix−-2, whereas in RBT3 this epitope was detected in both types of walls.

Conclusions. The sym33-3 and sym40 mutations have different effects on the accumulation of AGPE epitopes recognised by MAC204 and MAC236. This indicates that both the Sym33 and the Sym40 genes affect the composition of AGPE in the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets.

INTRODUCTION

Colonization of plant cells of legumes with rhizobial cells is accompanied by a progressive remodelling of the plant-microbial interface, leading to symbiotic nitrogen fixation within root nodules. In response to a rhizobial infection, the host cells apparently modify the structure and composition of the cell wall and extracellular matrix [1, 2]. In legumes, a key component of the plant extracellular matrix is arabinogalactan protein-extensin (AGPE) – a family of hydroxyproline-rich proteins characterised by alternating extensin and arabinogalactan motifs [3]. For the immunolocalisation of AGPE, monoclonal antibody MAC265 has been widely used, recognising a glycoprotein with a molecular mass in the region of 95 kDa [4–8]. Immunolocalisation with MAC265 clearly shows that AGPEs are secreted into the lumen of the infection threads in all legumes that have been examined [1].

The physical and biochemical properties of AGPE glycoproteins suggest that they may have a significant impact on the process of colonization of host tissues and cells by rhizobia. AGPE molecules apparently combine the biophysical properties of soluble gums (characteristic of AGPs) with the more structural and defensive properties of extensins (which generally serve to harden plant cell walls in response to pathogen attack or mechanical stress). Because of the very high content of tyrosine residues, it has been proposed that AGPE macromolecules may become cross-linked and insolubilized under oxidative and peroxide-rich conditions. This cross-linking might serve to regulate the growth of the infection thread itself as a result of a progressive fluid-to-solid transition in the embedding matrix of AGPE [1, 7, 9, 10].

Because of the structural complexity of AGPEs, it has been difficult to analyse their function directly by forward or reverse genetics. On the other hand, previous studies using MAC265 antibody, have indicated some heterogeneity of AGPE distribution in mutants impaired in infection thread development [8]. To gain more information about the involvement of AGPE in infection structures, we used monoclonal antibodies MAC204 and MAC236 to study the distribution of additional epitopes associated with AGPEs during the infection of pea nodules in the wild-type line SGE; in two mutant lines, SGEFix–-1 (sym40) and SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3); and in the double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Plant material and bacterial strain

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) mutant lines, forming ineffective nodules and the wild-type line SGE were used in this study (Table 1). Plants were inoculated with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae strain 3841 [18].

Growth conditions and sampling of material for analysis

Plants were raised in a growth chamber VB1514 (Vötch, Germany) (day: night – 16:8 h; temperature 21 °C; relative humidity 75%; illumination 490 mLm · m–2 · s–1). Seeds were surface-sterilised by treatment for 30 min with concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature, washed with sterile distilled water, and inoculated at the time of planting (1 ml of aqueous suspension contained 108–109 bacteria). Sterile vermiculite moistened with a nutrient solution without nitrogen [19] was used as a substrate. Nodules (10 plants per variant) were harvested at 14 days after inoculation.

Monoclonal antibodies

For immunoelectron microscopy, antibodies MAC204 [4] and MAC236 [5], which recognise the AGPE matrix of infection threads were used. These were obtained from the collection of the John Innes Centre, Norwich, United Kingdom.

Sample preparation

Nodules were harvested from roots, transferred in 2. 5% glutaraldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in 0. 5 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7. 2). Nodules were given a glancing cut on one side to improve penetration of the fixative. After vacuum infiltration, floating nodules were discarded, and the fixative was replaced with a fresh solution. After 16 h of fixation at room temperature, the nodules were dehydrated in a graded series of increasing concentrations of ethanol at –35 °C, infiltrated and polymerized in London Resin White acrylic resin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) using benzoin methyl ether as a catalyst for UV polymerization at –20 °C.

Immunogold analysis

For immunogold electron microscopy, ultrathin sections (90–100 nm) were obtained on a Leica EM UC7 ultramicrotome (Leica Microsystems, Vienna, Austria) and collected on gold grids coated with 4% pyroxylin and carbon. After blocking in 50 mM glycine in PBS (2. 48 g/l NaH2PO4, 21. 36 g/l Na2HPO4, 87. 66 g/l NaCl, pH 7. 4) for 15 min and in ABB blocking buffer (5% BSA, 0. 1% cold water fish gelatin (CWFS), 5–10% normal goat serum, 15 mM NaN3 in PBS, pH 7. 4) (Aurion, Wageningen, The Netherlands) for 30 min, grids were washed several times in 0. 1% acetylated BSA (BSA-C) (Aurion, Wageningen, The Netherlands) in PBS and incubated with primary antibodies diluted 1 : 50 in 0. 1% BSA-C overnight at 4 °C. After washing in 0. 1% BSA-C, the sections were incubated with secondary antibodies, goat anti-rat IgG conjugated to colloidal gold (particle size 10 nm; Amersham International, Emirsch, UK), diluted 1 : 50 in 0. 1% BSA-C for 4 h at room temperature. After washing in PBS for 20 min and then in deionized water for 30 min, sections were counterstained in 2% uranyl acetate for 1 h, followed by lead citrate for 1 min. Sections were examined and photographed using a JEM-1400 transmission electron microscope (JEOL Corp., Tokyo, Japan) at 80 kV.

Negative controls

To conduct the specificity of the immunogold labelling procedures several negative controls were undertaken. Negative controls were treated with either a non-specific secondary antibody (goat anti-mouse IgG) or a gold-conjugated secondary antibody (goat anti-rat IgG) without primary antibody. No specific label was observed on the sections when processing with a non-specific secondary antibody (data not shown) and when using gold-conjugated secondary antibody without the primary antibody (data not shown).

Quantitative analysis of immunogold labelling

At least five different samples of nodules and at least 30 profiles of infection threads were examined for immunolocalisation with MAC204 or MAC236. The areas of infection thread (for all investigated pea lines) or infection droplet (for the wild-type line SGE and mutant line SGEFix–-1 (sym40)) sections were evaluated and the number of gold particles per unit area was calculated. The areas and the number of gold particles were measured using software Zen 2 Core version 2. 5 (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). The data were presented as the number of gold particle/μm2. They were analysed by one-way ANOVA using the software SigmaPlot for Windows version 12. 5 (Systat Software, Inc, San Jose, California, USA). Means were compared by the Dunn’s test (p < 0. 05).

RESULTS

In the nodules of the wild-type SGE line, immunolabelling with MAC204 and MAC236 was observed in infection threads (Fig. 1, a, d) and infection droplets (Fig. 1, b, e). Both AGPE epitopes were detected in the same quantities in the infection structures of wild-type nodules, but their abundance was slightly higher in infection droplets (Table 2). Along the edges of some infection threads and droplets, the labelling was more intense, both with MAC204 and with MAC236, suggesting that this may represent the region where newly synthesized matrix was deposited (Fig. 1, c, f). In symbiosomes and the walls of infection threads, labelling by MAC204 and MAC236 was not detected in wild-type tissues (data not shown).

In the mutant line SGEFix–-1 (sym40), the material of the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets was labelled with MAC204 (Fig. 2, a, b) and with MAC236 (Fig. 2, c, d). At the same time, the extent of AGPE epitope labelling by MAC204 was significantly higher than in the wild-type line in both infection threads and infection droplets (Table 2). By contrast, the extent of AGPE epitope labelling by MAC236 was only increased in infection droplets (Table 2). In addition, in the mutant line SGEFix–-1 (sym40), the epitope recognised by MAC204 was present in the cell walls and the extracellular matrix of the expanded intercellular spaces specific for this mutant line (Fig. 3, a), while the epitope recognised by MAC236 was observed only in the matrix of the intercellular spaces (Fig. 3, b).

When nodule samples from the mutant line SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3) were examined, it was found that there was specific and abundant labelling with antibodies MAC204 (Fig. 4, a, b) and MAC236 (Fig. 4, c, d) both in the matrix of “locked” infection threads where bacteria release did not occur (Fig. 4, a, c) and in infection droplets devoid of bacteria (Fig. 4, b, d). Quantitative analysis revealed that these samples yielded the maximum level of labelling for both epitopes among all genotypes analysed (see Table 2). (In this mutant, infection droplets were observed only rarely, and these were not considered in the quantitative analysis.) The epitope recognised by MAC204 was also found as a component of the walls of infection threads (Fig. 3, c). Furthermore, in the cell walls, the MAC204-epitope was represented by a small number of gold particles (Fig. 3, d). By contrast the epitope recognised by MAC236 was not detected in the cell walls and infection thread walls in this mutant line (data not shown).

In the double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40), both AGPE epitopes were detected in the matrix of “locked” infection threads (Fig. 5, a, d). Quantitative analysis revealed an intermediate level of both epitopes in infection threads compared with the parental mutant lines SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3) and SGEFix–-1 (sym40) (Table 2). Moreover, the MAC204 label was observed in the infection thread wall (Fig. 5, a), in the cell wall (Fig. 5, c) and in the vesicles transporting the material of extracellular matrix to the cell walls (Fig. 5, b, e) and the walls of the infection thread (Fig. 5, f).

DISCUSSION

We have previously studied the distribution of AGPE, recognised by monoclonal antibody MAC265, in the nodules of the wild-type line SGE and in the ineffective mutants SGEFix–-1 (sym40) and SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3) and also in double mutants carrying the sym33-3 allele [8]. This study revealed strong labelling of MAC265 epitope in the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets. In the present study, it was shown that labelling with MAC204 and with MAC236 was increased in samples from SGEFix–-1 (sym40) in comparison with the wild-type line: both antibodies labelled more intensively in infection droplets (Fig. 2, b, d) while MAC204, but not MAC236, yielded relatively strong labelling in infection threads (Fig. 2, a). Among all genotypes analysed, the mutant line SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3) showed the strongest labelling of both epitopes in infection threads (Table 2). Previously, some heterogeneity in labelling of MAC265 was detected in mutants carrying the sym33-3 allele; it was present in the matrix of some, but not all, infection threads [8]. In the double mutant RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40), the amount of label of both epitopes was intermediate between the parental mutant genotypes SGEFix–-1 (sym40) and SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3). This indicates the complementation of sym33-3 and sym40 mutations in relation to the accumulation of the AGPE epitopes detected by antibodies MAC204 and MAC236 in the matrix of infection threads. Thus, although the sym33-3 mutation is epistatic over the sym40 mutation with respect to the structural organization of nodules [15], the Sym33 and Sym40 genes can apparently participate in independent pathways involved in the formation of glycoprotein components of the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets.

In a previous study using MAC265 antibody, we found evidence for mis-targeting of AGPE secretion into the lumen of the infection thread in the mutant line SGEFix–-1 (sym40). This led to the accumulation of a large amount of MAC265 epitope in the intercellular space and was apparently accompanied by a change in the direction of secretion of the vesicles from infection thread walls to the cell wall [8]. In the present study, a similar abnormal secretion was detected in relation to the epitope recognised by MAC236 (Fig. 3, c), whereas the secretion of the epitope recognised by MAC204 occurred not only in the intercellular space matrix, but also into the cell wall (Fig. 3, a). Furthermore, in the double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40), there was evidence for directional secretion of vesicles carrying the MAC204 and MAC236 epitopes to the cell walls and infection thread walls (Fig. 5, b, e, f). Previously, in the nodules of this mutant line, vesicles transporting the MAC265-epitope to the cell walls were observed [8]. Moreover, in the double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40), MAC204 label was identified in the cell walls and infection thread walls (Fig. 5, a, c), as well as in the infection thread walls of the mutant line SGEFix–-2 (sym33-3) (Fig. 3, c) and in the cell walls of the mutant line SGEFix–-1 (sym40) (Fig. 3, a). These results provide further confirmation that the sym33-3 and sym40 mutations interact by complementation type with respect to the accumulation of AGPE epitopes recognised by MAC204 and MAC236.

In this study, both epitopes were present in equal amounts in infection threads and infection droplets in the nodules of the wild-type line SGE. At the same time, in the mutant line SGEFix–-1 (sym40) and the double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40), the epitope recognised by MAC204 was more abundant than the epitope recognised by MAC236 (Table 2). It may indicate that a mutation in the Sym40 gene leads to the accumulation of AGPEs with slightly different epitopes.

The precise mode of AGPE functioning in the growth and development of infection structures, particularly infection threads, is unknown since these glycoproteins have a complex structure. It also needs to be investigated whether all AGPE proteins, or specific sequences are responsible for biological activity [1, 2]. We carried out comparative analysis of the distribution of the 95 kDa molecular weight AGPE with the help of monoclonal antibodies reacting with different epitopes of this macromolecule [8]. In the present and previous studies [8] using nodules of mutant pea lines with impaired development of infection structures, it has been demonstrated that there is variation in the abundance of three different epitopes associated with AGPE in the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets, suggesting that specific sequences of AGPE macromolecule can play a role in the development of symbiotic nodules.
