AB  - The optimization of expression conditions is a tedious, but necessary procedure for thesuccessful efficient production of recombinant proteins. Design of experiment (DoE) savestime and resources by using statistics to carefully select only a few experimental points(expression conditions) to obtain information about the whole tested range of variedconditions, unlike the most commonly used one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method, whichrequires full imput space screening for optimization. Here, we have optimized theexpression conditions of His 6 and His8-mCerulean3-TEV-α-synuclein production from thethe pDUET vector, as well as the His 6-tagged protein from the pET-20b vector andexpressed into the periplasm. The proteins for which optimization was conducted wereexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS. We have used DoE toplan adequate experimental points for optimization according to a Box-Behnken design,with IPTG concentration, temperature and time variation. After collecting the cultures atgiven experimental points, they were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and densitometry, thenmodelled and statistically analysed. The importance of correct sample preparation and gelloads for densitometric analysis is evident according to the obtained results. The largestexpression level was obtained from the His 8-tagged protein coded by the pDUET vector inE. coli BL21(DE3). We have also used densitometry to analyze expression levels indifferent culture media.

AB  - Alpha-synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein prone to aggregation and it is involved in the formation of brain tissue amyloids in patients with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. By fluorescently labeling recombinantly expressed proteins, the processes of expression and purification of the same can be easily visually monitored. In a previous work, we have constructed three plasmids for the expression of α-synuclein fused C-terminally to His-tagged mCerulean3 through a polyasparagine linker and tobacco etch virus (TEV) proteolytic site. Here we have transformed these vectors into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS and optimized the expression conditions by response surface methodology (temperature, time after induction, concentration of induction reagent) of the chimeric proteins coded by vectors. Expression of the chimeric protein was tested at optimal conditions in different media and terrific broth gave the highest yield. The obtained chimeric protein was purified by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC), yielding ~29 mg of chimeric protein per liter of medium and was shown to be successfully proteolyzed by TEV protease, giving a fragment of α-synuclein of expected electrophoretic mobility. After another round of IMAC, the obtained α-synuclein of native sequence was mainly found to be in the flow-through.

After fusion of the genes for mCerulean3 and -synuclein through a series of polymerase chain reactions (SOEing PCR), the resulting gene for the chimeric protein was cloned into the pDUET-1 plasmid. Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), upon transformation with this construct, can be used to produce the chimeric protein that retained the fluorescent properties of mCerulean3, with a yield of ~2 mg per liter of medium after purification by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (electrophoretic purity: ~80%). This chimeric protein was successfully proteolyzed by TEV protease.",

AB  - Alfa-sinuklein je protein zastupljen u nervnom tkivu, dominantno u završecima presinaptičih neurona. Agregati ovog proteina pronađeni su u nervnom tkivu brojnih pacijenata sa bolestima koje se pod jednim imenom označavaju α-sinukleinopatijama, a od kojih je najznačajnija Parkinsonova bolest. Formiranje ovih agregata smatra se usko povezanim sa etiologijom ove bolesti i zbog toga je značajno proizvesti i prečistiti ovaj protein u velikim količinama u cilju in vitro, a potencijalno i in vivo istraživanja. Koristeći komercijalni vektor pDUET-1-α-synuclein-mCerulean3-His6, u našoj laboratoriji su prethodnim radom proizvedena tri vektora za ekspresiju α-sinukleina u bakteriji Escherichia coli. U ovom radu je opisana optimizacija uslova ekspresije fluorescentno obeleženog humanog α-sinukleina sa sva tri plazmida transformisanih u sojeve E. coli BL21(DE3), odnosno BL21(DE3)pLysS, a koristeći metodologiju odzivne površine (RSM). Kombinacija plazmida i soja koja je pokazala najveći nivo ekspresije upotrebljena je za ekspresiju proteina od interesa na velikoj skali. Takođe, pokazano je da se dobijeni himerni protein nakon prečišćavanja imobilizovanom metal-afinitetnom hromatografijom može specifično hidrolizovati TEV proteazom. Nakon toga, α-sinuklein nativne sekvence dobijen proteolizom je grubo prečisćen ponovljenom metal-afinitetnom hromatografijom. Pokazano je i da prilikom zagrevanja himernog proteina ne dolazi do njegove značajne denaturacije i taloženja, što se može upotrebiti za postizanje značajnog prečišćenja jednim dodatnim korakom.

AB  - Ramonda serbica Panc. is a resurrection plant species that can survive desiccation for a long
period and fully resume metabolic functions upon rewatering in a very short period, even within
48 h. The goal of this study was to identify key candidates and pathways involved in desiccation tolerance in R. serbica. To achieve this, systems biology approach combining transcriptomics,
proteomics, and analysis of specific metabolites was employed. In addition, FTIR analysis of the
cell wall polymers and a detailed analysis of the photosynthetic electron transport (PET) chain
were performed. In total, 1192 different protein groups were quantified by TMT-based comparative quantitative proteomics. Among them, 408 protein groups showed a statistically significant
difference in abundance between hydrated (HL) and desiccated leaves (DL). Upon desiccation, the
majority of proteins related to photosynthetic processes were less abundant, while chlorophyll
fluorescence measurements implied shifting from linear photosynthetic transport (PET) to cyclic
electron transport (CET). The amounts of H2O2 scavenging enzymes, including ascorbate-glutathione cycle components, catalases, peroxiredoxins, Fe-, and Mn- superoxide dismutase (SOD) were
reduced in DL. However, four Cu/ZnSOD isoforms, three polyphenol oxidases, six germin-like proteins (GLPs), and 22 late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs; mainly LEA4 and dehydrins),
were desiccation-inducible. Desiccation-induced cell wall remodelling by changes in cell wall
polymer composition might be linked with pectin demethylesterification and GLP-derived H2O2/
HO•. Our study demonstrated that desiccation tolerance in R. serbica is a complex, species-specific process orchestrated by several metabolic pathways and regulatory networks acting at the transcript, protein, metabolite and physiological levels.

AB  - Ramonda serbica Panc. is a resurrection plant that can survive long desiccation periods (extreme loss of cellular water). The accumulation of late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs) is a crucial step in desiccation tolerance mechanism. Based on in vitro studies, LEAPs can be involved in antioxidative defense, ion sequestration, structural stabilization of both membranes and enzymes during freezing or drying, while by forming intracellular proteinaceous condensates they increase structural integrity and intracellular viscosity of cells during desiccation. Here we investigated the antioxidative potential of LEAPs identified by de novo transcriptomics of R. serbica, based on their primary and secondary confirmation. In our
previous work [1], we displayed the antioxidative capacity of 20 free proteogenic amino acids
(FAA) through determining their hydroxyl radical (•OH, generated in Fenton reaction) scavenging
rate by using electron paramagnetic resonance. These results served as a basis for generating a model for prediction of •OH scavenging activity for selected proteins. In addition, the model was built based on protein primary sequences, hydrophobicity, 3D structure and predicted solvent accessible area. Manually curated data for peptides and proteins with experimentally determined •OH scavenging rate were used for training and testing. The model was fed into machine learning algorithm and •OH scavenging potential scale was created using IC50 values. By applying our model, we classified 164 LEAPs according to their potential for •OH scavenging. Further work will focus on the experimental evaluation of the obtained model by measuring of the rate of • OH scavenging in the presence of recombinantly produced LEAPs.

AB  - Ramonda serbica Panc. is a resurrection plant that can survive a long period of severe dehydration-desiccation. Desiccation induces cellular membrane integrity loss, protein aggregation, and denaturation, as well as accelerated generation of reactive oxygen species. However, R. serbica can fully recover its metabolic functions already one day upon watering [1]. The aim of our study was to obtain more insight into the desiccation tolerance mechanisms by differential de novo transcriptomics of hydrated (HL) and desiccated leaves (DL). 
For R. serbica transcriptome construction, the total high-quality RNA from HL and DL was extracted according to our previously optimised protocol [2]. Highly purified cDNA libraries were sequenced on an Illumina Hi-Seq platform. The ambiguous nucleotides, adapter sequences, and low-quality sequences were trimmed, and the quality of the reads was checked before and after the trimming. In total, 39608813 (with Q30=94%) and 37482969 (with Q30=94.1%) clean reads were obtained in HL and DL, respectively, and used to perform transcriptome assembly by Trinity software. After removing the redundancy, 189456 transcripts with 189003 unigenes were obtained (32.6% with the length between 500-1kbp).
Comparative analysis revealed that a large portion of R. serbica sequences (49.1%) was similar to sequences found in the genome of another resurrection plant Boea hygrometrica. Furthermore, among obtained unigenes, 64.6% and 42.3% were annotated by NCBI non-redundant protein and nucleotide sequences database (db), 23% by PFAM db, 22.5% by Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins db, 48.02% by Swiss-Prot db, 23 % KEGG db and 13.73 by Gene Ontology db. The majority of annotated genes were associated with translation, ribosomal structure, posttranslational modifications, protein turnover, signalling pathways and cytoskeleton and encoded chaperonins and late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins. 
Aiming to provide a list of candidates involved in the desiccation tolerance in R. serbica we analysed differentially expressed genes in HL and DL. Genes associated with transmembrane transport, reproduction, cell proliferation, and protein folding were up-regulated in HL compared with DL. On the other hand, genes encoding proteins involved in cell wall architecture, LEA proteins and antioxidative defence were up-regulated in DL.

AB  - Resurrection plant Ramonda serbica Panc. survives desiccation for a long period and fully recovers metabolic functions already within one day upon watering [1]. Besides osmotic stress, desiccation provokes the accelerated generation of reactive oxygen species. The aim of our study was obtaining more insight into the mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in R. serbica by TMT labelled comparative quantitative proteomics of hydrated (HL) and desiccated leaves (DL). After de novo transcriptome analysis, 189456 transcripts with 189003 unigenes were annotated with seven common databases. Proteomic analysis allowed for the relative quantification of 895 different protein groups, 321 with a statistically significant difference in abundance between FL and DL. Among them, 25% referred to chloroplast and almost the same percentage were associated with desiccation and oxidative stress. Almost all differentially abundant proteins related to photosynthetic processes were down-regulated in DL, while those required for protein translation were more abundant in HL. Within differentially abundant proteins involved in antioxidative defence, the levels of enzymes involved in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, peroxiredoxins, Fe and Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD) were all reduced in DL, while germin-like proteins, three Cu/Zn SOD isoforms and polyphenol oxidases were more abundant in DL compared with HL. The protein family with the highest number of members showing the greatest accumulation upon desiccation comprised twenty different late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs), similarly as found by differential transcriptomic analysis. Taken together, our results imply a key role of LEAPs and Cu/Zn SOD in protective mechanism against desiccation in R. serbica, that may have significant implications on drought-related studies of crops grown in arid areas. This work was supported by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia (PROMIS project LEAPSyn-SCI, grant number 6039663). M.V. wishes to acknowledge the support of COST Action BM1405 for approving STSM in Padua during 2017 and 2018.

AB  - An extreme loss of cellular water or desiccation (5-10% of relative water content) leads to protein denaturation, aggregation and degradation, and affects the fluidity of membrane lipids resulting in loss of membrane integrity [1]. The essential constituents of vegetative desiccation tolerance in so-called resurrection plants are late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs). This heterogeneous group of anhydrobiosis-related intrinsically disordered proteins forms mostly random conformation when fully hydrated, turning into compact α-helices during desiccation [2]. Based on in vitro studies, LEAPs can be involved in water binding, ion sequestration, stabilization of both membrane and enzymes during freezing or drying, while by forming intracellular proteinaceous condensates they increase structural integrity and intracellular viscosity of cells during desiccation.
Here, we identify 164 members of LEA gene family in endemic and relict resurrection species Ramonda serbica by integrating previously done de novo transcriptome and homologues protein motifs. Identified LEAPs were classification into six groups according to Protein family (PFAM) database and the most populated group was LEA4 containing 47% of total identified LEAPs. By using four secondary structure predictors, we showed that this group exhibited a high propensity to form amphipathic α-helices (81% of total sequence length is predicted to form α-helical structure). This implies that charged residues might be exposed to the solvent, while hydrophobic amino acids might interact with lipid bilayers or with other target proteins in the cell. In addition, as predicted by several bioinformatic tools, more than 70% of identified LEAPs were found to be highly disordered (~64%). Structural characterization of LEAPs is a key to understand their function and regulation of their intrinsic structural disorder-to-order transition during desiccation. These findings will promote transformative advancements in various fields, such as the development of new strategies in neurodegenerative disorders, cell preservation technology and the improvement of crop drought tolerance.

In silico structural survey of newly identified late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs) from Ramonda serbica and their structure - function relationship

AB  - Desiccation or extreme water loss leads to protein denaturation, aggregation, and degradation and impairs membrane lipid fluidity, resulting in loss of membrane integrity at the cellular level. The induction of late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs) is considered an essential component of desiccation tolerance strategy in so-called resurrection plants. This heterogeneous group of hydrophilic, non-globular proteins is characterised by a high structural plasticity that allows them to adopt a random conformation in aqueous solutions that transforms into α-helices during dehydration [1]. Therefore, LEAPs can interact with various ligands and partners, including ion sequestration and stabilisation of membranes and enzymes during freezing or drying [2].
Our new transcriptome database of an endemic resurrection species Ramonda serbica allowed us to identify 164 members of the LEA gene family. LEAPs of this sample data have an average primary sequence similarity and identity of 10% and 6%, respectively, but with a high variance (141 and 108), which means that the sample proteins can be classified based on domain homology. The averaging is based on multiple sequence alignment and the variance is estimated using pairwise sequence alignment scores. Accordingly, all identified LEAPs were clustered into six groups based on protein families (PFAM). Among these groups, LEAPs differ significantly in their secondary structure, disorder propensity and aggregation potential. Furthermore, we built homology models using PDB structures as templates. For each group, an ensemble of superimposed 3D homology models was analyzed. 
The information obtained from the representative structural models is key to understanding the function of LEAPs and the regulation of their intrinsic structural disorder-to-order transition during desiccation. This will pave the way for the identification of LEAPs endogenous partners and their targets in the cell and provide further insights into the protective mechanisms of desiccation tolerance.

AB  - Resurrection plant Ramonda serbica is a suitable model to investigate vegetative desiccation tolerance. However, the detailed study of these mechanisms at the protein level is hampered by the severe tissue water loss, high amount of phenolics and polysaccharide, and possible protein modifications and aggregations during the extraction and purification steps. When applied to R. serbica leaves, widely used protein extraction protocols containing polyvinylpolypyrrolidone and ascorbate, as well as the phenol/SDS/buffer-based protocol recommended for recalcitrant plant tissues failed to eliminate persistent contamination and ensure high protein quality. Here we compared three protein extraction approaches aiming to establish the optimal one for both hydrated and desiccated R. serbica leaves. To evaluate the efficacy of these protocols by shotgun proteomics, we also created the first R. serbica annotated transcriptome database, available at http://www.biomed.unipd.it/filearrigoni/Trinity_Sample_RT2.fasta . The detergent-free phenol-based extraction combined with dodecyl-β-D-maltoside-assisted extraction enabled high-yield and high-purity protein extracts. The phenol-based protocol improved the protein-band resolution, band number, and intensity upon electrophoresis, and increased the protein yield and the number of identified peptides and protein groups by LC-MS/MS. Additionally, dodecyl-β-D-maltoside enabled solubilisation and identification of more membrane-associated proteins. The presented study paves the way for investigating the desiccation tolerance in R. serbica, and we recommend this protocol for similar recalcitrant plant material.
