Target identification strategies in plant chemical biology

Abstract: The current needs to understand gene function in plant biology increasingly require more dynamic and conditional approaches opposed to classic genetic strategies. Gene redundancy and lethality can substantially complicate research, which might be solved by applying a chemical genetics approach. Now understood as the study of small molecules and their effect on biological systems with subsequent target identification, chemical genetics is a fast developing field with a strong history in pharmaceutical research … Show more

“…Finally, compounds can be applied easily to essentially any plant model system or crop, whereas a genetic perturbation needs to be introduced in one genotype at a time (Tóth and van der Hoorn, 2010). Thanks to these characteristics, chemical biology has been successful for drug discovery (Cong et al, 2012), and it is becoming increasingly more popular to discover molecular mechanisms of physiological processes in plants (De Rybel et al, 2009Dejonghe and Russinova, 2014;Hicks and Raikhel, 2014).…”

“…A serious disadvantage in plant chemical genetics is the lack of implementation of robust MoA technologies, as in the drug discovery field (Wagner and Schreiber, 2016). Most target identification strategies in plant chemical genetics adopt a candidate approach or screening for compound-resistant mutants (Tresch, 2013;Dejonghe and Russinova, 2014). Although screening for compound-resistant mutants often is the preferred strategy, surprisingly, thus far, the most successful target identification has been obtained with the candidate approach.…”

“…This method often is used in drug discovery (Ziegler et al, 2013), but is less popular in plant chemical genetics (Dejonghe and Russinova, 2014). One of the few recent examples of affinity-based target identification in plant chemical biology was obtained from the ES2 MoA study, in which a biotin-tagged ES2 analog was used to identify EXO70 as an ES2 target (Zhang et al, 2016).…”
