Two JH intracellular receptors, methoprene-tolerant(Met) and germ-cell expressed(Gce), have been identified in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. To investigate JH membrane signaling pathway without the interference from JH intracellular signaling, we characterized phosphoproteome profiles of the Met gce double mutant in the absence or presence of JH in both chronic and acute phases.Functioning through a potential receptor tyrosine kinase and phospholipase C pathway, JH membrane signaling activated protein kinase C(PKC) which phosphorylated ultraspiracle(USP) at Ser35, the PKC phosphorylation site required for the maximal action of 20 E through its nuclear receptor complex Ec RUSP. The usp;mutant, in which Ser was replaced with Ala at position 35 by genome editing, showed decreased expression of Halloween genes that are responsible for ecdysone biosynthesis and thus attenuated 20 E signaling that delayed developmental timing. The usp;mutant also showed lower Yorkie activity that reduced body size. Altogether, JH membrane signaling phosphorylates USP at Ser35 and thus potentiates 20 E action that regulates the normal fly development. This study helps better understand the complex JH signaling network.展开更多

This review focuses on the implications of bacterial phosphoproteome in bacterial pathogenicity and highlights recent development of methods in phosphoproteomics and the connectivity of the phosphorylation networks. Recent technical developments in the high accuracy mass spectrometry have dramatically transformed proteomics and made it possible the characterization of a few exhaus- tive site-specific bacterial phosphoproteomes. The high abundance of tyrosine phosphorylations in a few bacterial phosphoproteomes suggests their roles in the pathogenicity, especially in the case of pathogen-host interactions; the high abundance of multi-phosphorylation sites in bacterial phosphoprotein is a compensation of the relatively small phosphorylation size and an indicator of the delicate regulation of protein functions.展开更多

Protein reversible phosphorylation plays key roles in coordinating multiple metabolic pathways and integrating diverse internal and external cues. Understanding such regulatory metabolism will provide novel resources for breeding and crop management by modulating metabolic pathways for control of growth and stress response. In this review, we summarize the complex, multifaceted functions of protein phosphorylation and their connections to plant metabolism. We focus particularly on carbohydrate metabolic pathways that are controlled by key kinases and discuss how they are linked to downstream changes in physiology, important agronomic traits and crop quality.展开更多
