"PROJECT":{"PROJECT_TITLE":"Evidence that class I glutamine amidotransferase, GAT1_2.1, acts as a glutaminase in roots of Arabidopsis thaliana","PROJECT_SUMMARY":"Carbon and Nitrogen balance in plant leaves, required for sustained growth, is achieved by inter-relationships between the processes of photosynthesis, respiration and amino acid metabolism in a photoperiod dependent manner. The GS/GOGAT cycle is one such mechanism and is highly elucidated in plants to serve as a crossroad between C and N metabolism. Non-photosynthetic tissues (e.g., roots, germinating seeds), however, lack a sufficient supply of carbon skeletons under high N conditions and hence may resort to other mechanisms, along with GS/GOGAT cycle, to achieve the aforementioned C/N balance. Here, we propose a potential role of an enzyme, GAT1_2.1, in hydrolyzing excess glutamine to Glu, which channels carbon skeletons to the TCA cycle, under high N conditions, using Arabidopsis as a model. GAT1_2.1, a class I glutamine amidotrasferase of unknown substrate specificity, was shown to be highly responsive to N status, localized in mitochondria and is highly co-expressed with Glutamate Dehydrogenase 2 (GDH2). Arabidopsis mutants lacking GAT1_2.1 have elevated GABA shunt pathway activity to replenish the depleted levels of Glu. This Glu may then be deaminated to 2-oxoglutarate by GDH2 and channeled into the TCA cycle thus providing a crossroad between C and N metabolism in root mitochondria. We use a metabolomics approach to demonstrate the difference in quantities of pathway intermediates between wild type Arabidopsis roots and gat1_2.1 mutants using glutamine as organic nitrogen treatment and KNO3 and Glu treatments as negative and positive controls, respectively. In addition, we used Arabidopsis root extracts, spiked with amide nitrogen labeled (15N1) Glutamine and a purified recombinant protein, both full length and glutaminase domain only versions, to determine the amido group acceptor, if any, in the glutamine amidotransferase reaction.","INSTITUTE":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada","DEPARTMENT":"London Research and Development Centre","LABORATORY":"Frederic Marsolais","LAST_NAME":"Kambhampati","FIRST_NAME":"Shrikaar","ADDRESS":"1391 Sandford St, London, ON N5V 4T3, Canada","EMAIL":"shrikaar.k@gmail.com","PHONE":"3144025550","FUNDING_SOURCE":"Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada","CONTRIBUTORS":"Shrikaar Kambhampati, Justin Renaud, Frederic Marsolais"},

"TREATMENT":{"TREATMENT_SUMMARY":"Wild-type Arabidopsis ecotype Columbia and gat1_2.1 T-DNA insertion lines were used for Gln and Glu treatments. Plants were grown on vertical plates at 22 °C under continuous light (ca. 70 μmol m-2 s-2), as previously described by Ivanov et al. (2012) on a defined nutrient medium containing a final concentration of 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.5), 5 mM KNO3, 2 mM MgSO4, 1 mM CaCl2, 125 μg FeNaEDTA, micronutrients (50 mM H3BO3, 12 mM MnSO4, 1 mM ZnCl2, 1 mM CuSO4 and 0.2 mM Na2MoO4), 1% sucrose and 1% agar [28]. Ten-day old seedlings were transferred to plates containing the same medium without nitrogen as control or 10 mM Gln as sole N source. After 2 h, root tissue was harvested, frozen in liquid N2 and stored at -80 °C until total metabolite extractions was carried out. For growth in Gln and Glu, the same media and growth conditions were used with the exception of 5 mM KNO3 being substituted with either 2 mM Gln or 2 mM Glu and tissue was collected after 10 days."},

"SAMPLEPREP":{"SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY":"Fifty mg of root tissue was excised from 10 day old seedlings of WT or gat1_2.1 grown under conditions described above, collected in 2 mL Eppendorf tubes and flash frozen in liquid N2. Frozen tissue was homogenized using a tissue lyser and metabolites were isolated using 1 mL of methanol:water (4:1) with incubation in an ultra-sonication bath for 20 min followed by shaking for 30 min at 4 °C. The mixture was centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C and 700 µl of the supernatant was transferred into fresh tubes and evaporated to dryness using a Vacufuge at ambient temperature. The residue was re-dissolved in 500 µl of 1:1 methanol:water and the samples were filtered using a 0.2 µm PTFE microfuge filter (Cytiva Whatman). Five µl of 1 µg/mL 13C6 Phe was added to the samples for monitoring the quality of LC-MS runs."},
