While most amino acids are part of a protein backbone, a small percentage of them remain free and play important biological roles, serving as signaling molecules, nitrogen transporters, osmolytes, and precursors for multiple primary and secondary metabolites. Their levels vary widely especially in maize leaves, depending on the developmental stage and in response to environmental conditions. Therefore, accurate and reliable quantification of free amino acids (FAAs) is vital in any effort aimed at studying their response to developmental and environmental cues. In this protocol, we describe a robust, high-throughput method that quantifies the 20 proteogenic amino acids (i.e., those that can be incorporated into proteins) that are found in the free form in maize tissue.

In maize particularly, seed quality is affected by the low levels of lysine and tryptophan, two amino acids that humans and animals cannot synthesize and must obtain from the diet. The low levels of these two amino acids in seeds is due to the dominance of seed storage proteins, namely zeins, which are deficient in these two amino acids. Many efforts have been deployed to improve the nutritional composition of maize kernels (i.e., seeds). Still, the lack of high-throughput and inexpensive methods for the quantification of amino acids that are found within proteins has limited those efforts, especially when large populations are targeted. In this protocol, we describe a robust, efficient, and high-throughput method for the quantification of all 20 proteogenic (protein-forming) amino acids from a crude protein extract.

The increasing demand for low nitrogen fertilization and for plant-based diets with balanced amino acid levels and composition have made it crucial to develop reliable, fast, and affordable methods for analyzing amino acids in plants. As maize accounts for 43% of global cereal production, improving the amino acid composition of its kernels (i.e., seeds) is critically important for meeting the dietary requirements of humans and livestock. Moreover, amino acid quantification in maize leaves is necessary for improving yield prediction, stress sensing, and nitrogen use efficiency. Many amino acid quantification methods use reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography and gas chromatography approaches to assess the amino acid content of maize tissues. Historically, these techniques involved the use of chemical derivatization, a chemical reaction that alters the properties of a compound to make it detectable or more sensitive to detection. Although accurate, these methods are time-consuming, expensive, and unsuitable for large populations. Here, we introduce two high-throughput methods for quantifying amino acids from large maize populations, such as those used for quantitative trait locus mapping, genome-wide association studies, and large mutant populations. Both methods use an ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry instrument to quantify all 20 proteogenic amino acids in a maize tissue in a short run time. A dependable, affordable, and high-throughput method for quantifying amino acids in maize has important implications for assessing kernel quality, yield, and management efficacy, such as fertilizer usage and watering.</p>","PeriodicalId":10496,"journal":{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor protocols","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142881474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
