AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to accurately locate and monitor the dynamic changes of H2O2 in plant cells at the subcellular level, especially due to the pH sensitivity of fluorescent protein sensors and the lack of application of endogenous plant peroxidases, resulting in insufficient monitoring sensitivity.
The plant endogenous peroxidase PRXIIB was fused with the fluorescent protein roGFP2 to form the fusion protein roGFP2-PRXIIB, which was then expressed in plants using a recombinant expression vector to achieve highly sensitive monitoring of H2O2.
It enables highly sensitive monitoring of H2O2 changes in different subcellular regions of plant cells, including H2O2 changes under inducers, pathogen effector proteins, and abiotic stresses. It is suitable for monitoring regions such as plant cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to an oxidation-reduction sensor for monitoring H2O2 changes at the subcellular level of plants and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important signal molecule, active oxygen plays an important role in the growth, development, disease resistance and stress resistance of plants, for example, regulating hypocotyl elongation, root hair development, cell death, stomatal closure, systemic acquired resistance and plant-pathogen interaction. Active oxygen is composed of a series of molecular oxygen derivatives, including H2O2, O2 - 、 1 O2, ·OH, etc., among which H2O2 is relatively stable and has a long half-life, and is often used as an intracellular and intercellular signal molecule to regulate downstream biological activities. Therefore, to study the biological function of H2O2, it is necessary to analyze the generation time, location, distribution and function of H2O2.
[0003] H2O2 is ubiquitous in plants, and the main production sites of H2O2 are apoplast, mitochondria, chloroplasts and peroxisomes. Therefore, it is very important to develop a tool to measure the dynamics of intracellular H2O2 and accurately identify H2O2 at the subcellular level. The method for studying active oxygen is usually to use some synthetic dyes such as luminol, nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT), 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFHDA), diaminobenzidine (DAB), etc., to qualitatively analyze active oxygen by the degree of change of the reactants or products. However, due to the unevenness of dye uptake, the inaccuracy of subcellular localization, and the non-specificity and irreversibility of the reaction with H2O2, it is difficult to accurately locate the organelles and monitor the dynamic changes of H2O2.
[0004] With the development of fluorescent protein sensors, great progress has been made in monitoring H2O2 at the subcellular level. For example, the first sensor HyPer developed in 2006 is composed of a circularly arranged yellow fluorescent protein (cpYFP) inserted into the regulatory region of prokaryotic H2O2 sensitive protein OxyR. The inter-cysteine disulfide bond formation induced by H2O2 causes the ratio change of fluorescence excitation spectrum, thereby monitoring the level of H2O2. However, cpYFP is highly sensitive to pH, and the change of pH value seriously destroys its hypersensitive response to H2O2. Currently, pH-insensitive Hyper7 has also been developed and applied to plant research. In addition, another type of fluorescent protein sensor, redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein (roGFP), also monitors H2O2 changes in a similar principle. Since the two cysteines of roGFP are in a low affinity state when reacting with H2O2, roGFP needs to be coupled with a high affinity H2O2 reaction enzyme to form an oxidation-reduction relay system, such as roGFP2-Orp1 and roGFP2-Tsa2ΔC R , roGFP2 is coupled with the peroxidase Orp1 or Tsa2ΔC R of yeast, the exchange of peroxidase and roGFP2 disulfide bond mediated by the reaction of peroxidase and H2O2, and the fluorescence ratio change of roGFP2 responds to the change of H2O2 in the cell. However, there is no plant endogenous peroxidase applied to the sensor at present, and the sensitivity of the sensor is improved, and efforts are made to create a better sensor to monitor the dynamic level of H2O2 in plant cells. SUMMARY

Positive monoclonal strains were screened to obtain Agrobacterium carrying the corresponding recombinant vectors, and then stored at -80°C.
[0109] II. Culture and Transformation of Recombinant Agrobacterium
[0110] 1. Culture of recombinant Agrobacterium
[0111] The recombinant Agrobacterium carrying the recombinant vector was removed from the -80℃ freezer and streaked onto LB solid medium containing kanamycin and gentamicin, and incubated at 28℃ for 12 hours. A small amount of activated cells was inoculated into 2 mL of LB liquid medium containing the corresponding antibiotic and incubated on a shaker at 28℃ for 12 hours. Then, all 2 mL of LB liquid medium was transferred to 300 mL of LB liquid medium containing the corresponding antibiotic and incubated on a shaker at 28℃ for about 10 hours. After centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 10 min, the bacterial suspension was collected, resuspended in 5% sucrose solution, and diluted to OD. 600 Approximately equal to 1, and add surfactant Silwet L-77 at a ratio of 0.00017:1, shake well for conversion.
[0112] 2. Transformation
[0113] Select wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 at the appropriate flowering period, remove the open flowers, and immerse the Arabidopsis thaliana with only flower buds upside down in the bacterial solution for 5 minutes. Place the infected plants horizontally in a tray and keep them in the dark for 24 hours before they grow normally upright.
[0114] III. Screening of resistant plants
[0115] First, the harvested transgenic plant seeds were disinfected with 70% alcohol, and then evenly spread on 1 / 2 MS medium containing 25 mg / L hygromycin and 50 mg / L carbenicillin for positive seedling screening. The seedlings were then cultured in an incubator at 23°C for about 10 days. The seedlings with normal growth were then selected and transferred to a greenhouse for further cultivation.
[0116] IV. Obtaining Transgenic Plants
[0117] The four-week-old transgenic Arabidopsis leaves were punched with a puncher with a diameter of 4.5 mm, and the small discs were loaded into a 96-well black plate. The fluorescence value of roGFP2 was detected by a Perkin Elmer microplate reader (excitation wavelength: 488 nm; emission wavelength: 510 nm). The plants with relatively high fluorescence values were selected. Then the selected plants were punched with a puncher with a diameter of 7 mm, and the small discs were loaded into a centrifuge tube containing 80 μL cell lysate. The small discs were ground thoroughly with a sample grinder to extract the proteins of the small discs. 20 μL 4x Protein Loading Buffer was added to each tube. After mixing, the sample was boiled at 100 ℃ for 5 min. Then the expression amount of GFP in the sample was detected by Western blotting (GFP antibody is a product of Abmart Company, product number P30010M). The results of the screening of transgenic plants and the detection of GFP expression amount are shown in Figure 1 .
[0118] The GFP-expressing Arabidopsis plants were individually collected seeds. The T2 generation seeds were placed on 1 / 2MS medium containing antibiotics, and the separation ratio was detected to be close to 3:1. The positive seedlings were transplanted and individually collected seeds (single copy insertion of the target gene), and the expression separation ratio of the next generation was recorded. The homozygous plants with stable expression (stable homozygous line T3) were selected.
[0119] V. roGFP2-PRXIIB is more sensitive to H2O2
[0120] Transgenic plant lines stably expressing roGFP2-PRXIIB, roGFP2-Orp1, roGFP2-GPX2 and roGFP2-Tsa2ΔC R , respectively, were selected, and were planted in a short-day plant room. The four-week-old leaves were punched with a puncher with a diameter of 4.5 mm, and were placed on a 96-well black plate pre-added with 100 μL ddH2O with the front side up for overnight incubation in weak light. The next day, different excitors (2 μM flg22 polypeptide, 200 μg / mL chitin, 2 μM Pep2 polypeptide or 2 μM nlp20 polypeptide) were used for treatment, and the specific treatment method included the following steps: the plate was first scanned in a Perkin Elmer microplate reader for 15 minutes on the next day, and then the polypeptide solution was added. The leaves floated on the polypeptide solution in each well of the plate, and then the plate was immediately placed in the microplate reader for continuous scanning for 6 hours. The fluorescence value change of roGFP2 was detected by the microplate reader (excitation wavelength: 405 nm and 488 nm; emission wavelength: 510 nm). The fluorescence ratio I 405 / I 488 , which can reflect the relative amount change of H2O2 in the cytoplasm.
[0121] The results are shown inFigure 2 As shown in Figure 6, the results showed that roGFP2-PRXIIB responded to the changes in the level of oxidation induced by various elicitors more greatly than roGFP2-Orpl and roGFP2-GPX2 Figure 2 a). While roGFP2-Tsa2AC R had too high background oxidation level and too much noise (b). In summary, roGFP2-PRXIIB was more suitable for monitoring the dynamic changes in intracellular H202 induced by elicitors. Figure 2 b). In summary, roGFP2-PRXIIB was more suitable for monitoring the dynamic changes in intracellular H202 induced by elicitors.
[0122] VI. Analysis of different subcellular localization of roGFP2-PRXIIB
[0123] Transgenic plant lines stably expressing fusion proteins roGFP2-PRXIIB, Nuc-roGFP2-PRXIIB, Mit-roGFP2-PRXIIB and Chloro-roGFP2-PRXIIB were selected respectively, and confocal microscopy was used to observe the different subcellular localization of fusion proteins roGFP2-PRXIIB, Nuc-roGFP2-PRXIIB, Mit-roGFP2-PRXIIB and Chloro-roGFP2-PRXIIB.
[0124] The results of confocal microscopy observation are shown in Figure 7. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 7, the results showed that fusion protein roGFP2-PRXIIB was localized in cytoplasm and nucleus, and did not co-localize with chloroplast; fusion protein Nuc-roGFP2-PRXIIB was localized in nucleus, and co-localized with nuclear protein AHL22-mcherry; fusion protein Mit-roGFP2-PRXIIB was localized in mitochondria, and co-localized with mitochondrial dye MitoTracker; fusion protein Chloro-roGFP2-PRXIIB was localized in chloroplast, and co-localized with chloroplast autofluorescence. The above results demonstrated the correctness of the expression of roGFP2-PRXIIB with different subcellular localization.

[0126] The transgenic homozygous line stably expressing obtained by introducing recombinant vector pCAMBIA1300-Lat52-roGFP2-PRXIIB was a roGFP2-PRXIIB transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana line targeting pollen tube.
[0127] The stable transgenic homozygous line obtained by introducing the recombinant vector pCAMBIA1300-35S-Nuc-roGFP2-PRXIIB is a Nuc-roGFP2-PRXIIB transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana line targeting nucleus.
[0128] The stable transgenic homozygous line obtained by introducing the recombinant vector pCAMBIA1300-35S-Mit-roGFP2-PRXIIB is a Mit-roGFP2-PRXIIB transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana line targeting mitochondria.
[0129] The stable transgenic homozygous line obtained by introducing the recombinant vector pCAMBIA1300-35S-Chloro-roGFP2-PRXIIB is a Chloro-roGFP2-PRXIIB transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana line targeting chloroplast.
[0130] Example 3, roGFP2-PRXIIB monitors the change of H2O2 at the subcellular level of plants
[0131] I. roGFP2-PRXIIB monitors the production of H2O2 induced by elicitors
[0132] The stable transgenic plant lines targeting cytoplasm, chloroplast, nucleus and mitochondria respectively are selected, planted in a short-day plant house, and the leaves grown for four weeks are punched with a puncher with a diameter of 4.5 mm, placed in a 96-well black plate with 100 μL ddH2O added in advance, and incubated in weak light overnight. The next day, different elicitors (flg22 polypeptide, chitin, nlp20 polypeptide, Pep2 polypeptide) are used for treatment, and the treatment method is the same as step five of Example 2.
[0133] The results are shown in Figure 4 The results show that in cytoplasm, chloroplast and nucleus, the production of H2O2 induced by different elicitors can be detected, and the time and regularity of the production of H2O2 induced by different compartments and different elicitors are different; and the curve change of mitochondria is not obvious due to its high degree of oxidation, and no obvious production of H2O2 is detected.
[0134] II. roGFP2-PRXIIB monitors the production of H2O2 induced by effector proteins
[0135] The transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines targeting cytoplasm, chloroplast, nucleus and mitochondria are selected, planted in a short-day plant house, and the leaves grown for four weeks are injected with D36E, D36E hopZ1a, D36E avrRpt2 and D36E avrB bacterial solution respectively (the concentration of the bacterial solution is 2.5×10 8The concentration of roGFP2 was measured (CFU / mL), with ddH2O injection serving as a control. One hour after injection, wells were punched using a 0.45 cm punch and placed face up in a 96-well black plate containing 200 μL of ddH2O. Two hours after injection, the fluorescence change of roGFP2 was detected using a microplate reader for 10 minutes each time, and once every hour.
[0136] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the results indicated that the effector proteins AvrRpt2, HopZ1a, and AvrB all induced H2O2 accumulation in the cytoplasm, chloroplasts, nucleus, and mitochondria. Notably, the oxidative changes induced by effector proteins were significantly higher than those induced by elicitors. Among these organelles, effector proteins induced rapid H2O2 accumulation in chloroplasts. For example, AvrB induced H2O2 accumulation in chloroplasts approximately 2–3 hours post-transfection, while AvrRpt2 and HopZ1a induced it approximately 5–6 hours post-transfection. Furthermore, H2O2 induced by AvrB also accumulated in the nucleus approximately 4–5 hours post-transfection, while AvrRpt2 and HopZ1a induced it approximately 6–7 hours post-transfection. Additionally, all effectors induced H2O2 accumulation in mitochondria approximately 7–8 hours post-transfection. In contrast, the degree of roGFP2-PRXIIB oxidation induced by D36E was similar to that ddH2O treatment. These results indicate that large amounts of H2O2 accumulated in the cytoplasm, chloroplasts, nucleus, and mitochondria during ETI.
[0137] III. Monitoring H2O2 Production Induced by Abiotic Stress ABA and NaCl Using roGFP2-PRXIIB
[0138] 1. roGFP2-PRXIIB monitoring of H2O2 production induced by abiotic stress NaCl
[0139] Transgenic Arabidopsis lines stably expressing roGFP2-PRXIIB and roGFP2-Orp1 targeting the cytoplasm were selected and planted in a short-day plant room. Leaves from the fourth week of growth were taken, and holes were punched using a 0.45 cm diameter punch. The leaves were placed face up in 96-well black plates pre-filled with 100 μL ddH2O and incubated overnight under low light. The next day, the plates were treated with 100 mM NaCl. The specific treatment method included the following steps: On the second day, the plates were first scanned in a microplate reader for 15 minutes, then removed and NaCl solution was added. The leaves in each well floated on the NaCl solution. The plates were then immediately placed back into the microplate reader for further scanning to detect changes in roGFP2 fluorescence for 6 hours.
[0140] The results are as follows Figure 6As shown in Figure a, the results indicate that within one hour of NaCl treatment, the oxidation levels of both roGFP2-PRXIIB and roGFP2-Orp1 increased rapidly and remained at a high level for several hours. Furthermore, the oxidation level change of roGFP2-PRXIIB was significantly higher than that of roGFP2-Orp1. This suggests that roGFP2-PRXIIB can effectively monitor the dynamic changes of H2O2 induced by NaCl and is more sensitive than roGFP2-Orp1.
[0141] 2. roGFP2-PRXIIB monitoring of ABA-induced H2O2 production under abiotic stress
[0142] Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone crucial for plant adaptation to various abiotic stresses. Within minutes, ABA induces guard cells to produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to promote stomatal closure, thereby reducing water loss due to transpiration and conserving water. To detect ABA-induced H2O2 production in guard cells, transgenic Arabidopsis lines stably expressing roGFP2-PRXIIB and roGFP2-Orp1 targeting the cytoplasm were selected and planted in a short-day plant house. Leaves from four weeks of growth were harvested, cut from the petiole, and immersed in a solution containing 100 μM ABA. After 90 minutes, the fluorescence intensity changes of roGFP2-PRXIIB in guard cells were observed using a confocal microscope (excitation wavelengths: 405 nm and 488 nm; emission wavelengths: 493-533 nm).
[0143] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in b, the results indicate that after ABA treatment, roGFP2-PRXIIB in guard cells underwent strong oxidation, significantly higher than roGFP2-Orp1. This suggests that roGFP2-PRXIIB can effectively monitor ABA-induced stomatal H2O2 production and is more sensitive than roGFP2-Orp1.
[0144] IV. Monitoring H2O2 production in RALF4-induced pollen tubes using roGFP2-PRXIIB
[0145] ROS in pollen tube has been studied in depth, which plays a key role in the process of pollen water absorption, germination and tube growth. In order to observe the production of H2O2 in growing pollen tube, the roGFP2-PRXIIB transgenic Arabidopsis line targeting pollen tube was selected, and the pollen was cultured on the germination substrate (solvent is water, solute and its concentration are 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM Ca(NO3)2, 1 mM MgSO4, 0.01% H3BO4, 18% sucrose and 1% agarose) at 28°C in the dark for 4 hours, and then treated with 2 μM RALF4 polypeptide. The specific treatment method includes the following steps: drop 2 μM RALF4 polypeptide solution on the germination substrate, and observe the fluorescence intensity change of roGFP2-PRXIIB in pollen tube under microscope after 2 min (excitation wavelength: 405 nm and 488 nm; emission wavelength: 493-533 nm).
[0146] The results are shown in Figure 7 The results show that RALF4 polypeptide treatment significantly improves the oxidation level of roGFP2-PRXIIB. It is proved that roGFP2-PRXIIB is suitable for observing the dynamic change of H2O2 in pollen tube.
