Temporal regulation of cell-wall pectin methylesterase and peroxidase isoforms in cadmium-treated flax hypocotyl

Abstract: The temporal regulation of Lupme and Flxper genes and of their respective enzyme activities fits the previously reported cadmium-induced structural changes of homogalacturonans within the CWs. After PME-catalysed de-esterification of homogalacturonans, their cross-linking would depend on the activity of PERs interacting with calcium-dimerized blocks and reinforce the cell cohesion during the cadmium-induced swelling.

“…In addition to increase polysaccharides levels in roots, Cd also notably increased PME activity in roots. This phenomenon was also observed in several previous studies (Astier et al 2014;Paynel et al 2009;Zhu et al 2012). One possible explanation was that Cd may increase ethylene production in roots (Masood et al 2012;Schellingen et al 2014), which is known to up-regulate PME gene expression and activity (Chervin et al 2008;Wei et al 2010), thus increasing the PME activity in roots.…”

“…Semi‐quantitative RT‐PCR of the corresponding LuPME5 gene in developing flax hypocotyls suggested that the gene might play a role in wall stiffening. More recently, a flax PME has been implicated in wall modifications following cadmium treatment . We also identified a pectinesterase inhibitor and a polygalacturonase inhibiting protein.…”

“…Here, the amount of pectin with non-blockwise pattern of de-esterification (LM7 epitope) significantly increased, compensating for the marked decrease of JIM7 epitope, while JIM5 epitope remained almost constant and the 2F4 epitope shifted down. These data again pointed to the possible role of a pectin methylesterase under Cd stress (Paynel et al 2009) and concluded that the increase of LM7 labeling in the external tangential wall of the epidermis, together with a decrease of JIM7 labeling, suggested a specific role for randomly partially de-esterified pectins in counteracting the radial swelling stress (Douchiche et al 2010).…”

“…Further studies concerning L. usitatissimum indicated that Cd also led to an increase in pectin methylesterase (PME) activity (Paynel et al 2009). PME, as described above, is the enzyme responsible for the demethylation of high-methylesterified pectins and the formation of low-mehylesterified pectin epitopes (Willats et al 2006;Pelloux et al 2007).…”
