TurboID ‐based proteomic profiling reveals proxitome of the IRT1 metal transporter and new insight into IRT1…

Abstract

>Iron Regulated Transporter1 (IRT1) is the major root iron transporter responsible for broad-spectrum metal absorption in Arabidopsis thaliana root epidermal cells. Non-iron metal substrates of IRT1 were recently shown to regulate IRT1 cell surface levels by endocytosis and vacuolar degradation.TurboID-based proximity labeling was recently developed to detect protein-protein interactions and thus shed light on the intricate regulation of proteins in living cells. Although TurboID-based proximity labeling technology has been successfully established in mammals, its application in plant systems remains limited, especially for highly hydrophobic multispan transmembrane proteins.

Here, we established TurboID for proximity labeling of IRT1 and identified 494 IRT1specific proximal proteins, including the previously reported FYVE1 IRT1-interacting protein.

To showcase the biological relevance of identified IRT1 proximal proteins, we further characterized the NHX5 Na + (K + )/H + antiporter and the RGLG2 E3 ubiquitin ligase. We validated both IRT1 proximal proteins as genuine IRT1 partners using several orthogonal assays. We also uncovered the contribution of NHX-type antiporters and RGLG-type E3 ligases in plant responses to non-iron metal nutrition and IRT1 endocytosis.

Overall, our work further highlights the power of TurboID to identify new interacting proteins and showcases its application to plant transporters.
