Even though cassava has been the focus of several breeding programs and has become a strong focus of research in the last few years, relatively little is currently known about its metabolism and metabolic composition in different tissues. In this article, the absolute content of sugars, organic acids, amino acids, phosphorylated intermediates, minerals, starch, carotenoids, chlorophylls, tocopherols, and total protein as well as starch quality is described based on multiple analytical techniques, with protocols specifically adjusted for material from different cassava tissues. Moreover, quantification of secondary metabolites relative to internal standards is presented using both non-targeted and targeted metabolomics approaches. The protocols have also been adjusted to apply to freeze-dried material in order to allow processing of field harvest samples that typically will require long-distance transport. © 2019 The Authors.</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 1</b>: Metabolic profiling by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS)</p><p><b>Support Protocol 1</b>: Preparation of freeze-dried cassava material</p><p><b>Support Protocol 2</b>: Preparation of standard compound mixtures for absolute quantification of metabolites by GC-MS</p><p><b>Support Protocol 3</b>: Preparation of retention-time standard mixture</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 2</b>: Determination of organic acids and phosphorylated intermediates by ion chromatography–mass spectrometry (IC-MS)</p><p><b>Support Protocol 4</b>: Preparation of standards and recovery experimental procedure</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 3</b>: Determination of soluble sugars, starch, and free amino acids</p><p><b>Alternate Protocol</b>: Determination of soluble sugars and starch</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 4</b>: Determination of anions</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 5</b>: Determination of elements</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 6</b>: Determination of total protein</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 7</b>: Determination of non-targeted and targeted secondary metabolites</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 8</b>: Determination of carotenoids, chlorophylls, and tocopherol</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 9</b>: Determination of starch quality</p>","PeriodicalId":10932,"journal":{"name":"Current protocols in plant biology","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cppb.20102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37455556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although a few systematic studies have been conducted, the true extent of protein–small molecule interactions in biological systems remains unknown. PROtein–metabolite interactions using size separation (PROMIS) is a method for studying protein–small molecule interactions in a non-targeted, proteome- and metabolome-wide manner. This approach uses size-exclusion chromatography followed by proteomics and metabolomics liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the collected fractions. Assuming that small molecules bound to proteins would co-fractionate together, we found numerous small molecules co-eluting with proteins, strongly suggesting the formation of stable complexes. Using PROMIS, we identified known small molecule–protein complexes, such as between enzymes and cofactors, and also found novel interactions. © 2019 The Authors.</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 1</b>: Preparation of native cell lysate from plant material</p><p><b>Support Protocol</b>: Bradford assay to determine protein concentration</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 2</b>: Separation of molecular complexes using size-exclusion chromatography</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 3</b>: Simultaneous extraction of proteins and metabolites using single-step extraction protocol</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 4</b>: Metabolomics analysis</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 5</b>: Proteomics analysis</p>","PeriodicalId":10932,"journal":{"name":"Current protocols in plant biology","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cppb.20101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43585352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this approach, all signals in a mass chromatogram are processed in an unbiased way, allowing for a deeper investigation of metabolic phenotypes, but also resulting in significantly more complex data processing and post-processing steps.

Tagged enzymes can either be transiently transformed into plant leaves or stably transformed into plant cells prior to AP-MS. The success of AP-MS depends on the levels and stability of the bait protein, the stability of the protein-protein interactions, and the efficiency of trypsin digestion and recovery of tryptic peptides for MS analysis. Unlike in-gel-digestion AP-MS, in which the gel is cut into pieces for several independent trypsin digestions, we uses a proteomics-based in-solution digestion method to directly digest the proteins on the beads following affinity purification. Thus, a single replicate within an AP-MS experiment constitutes a single sample for LC-MS measurement. In subsequent data analysis, normalized signal intensities can be processed to determine fold-change abundance (FC-A) scores by use of the SAINT algorithm embedded within the CRAPome software. Following analysis of co-sublocalization of “bait” and “prey,” we suggest considering only the protein pairs for which the intensities were more than 2% compared with the bait, corresponding to FC-A values of at least four within-biological replicates, which we recommend as minimum. If the procedure is faithfully followed, experimental assessment of enzyme-enzyme interactions can be carried out in Arabidopsis within 3 weeks (transient expression) or 5 weeks (stable expression). © 2019 The Authors.</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 1</b>: Gene cloning to the destination vectors</p><p><b>Alternate Protocol</b>: In-Fusion or Gibson gene cloning protocol</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 2</b>: Transformation of baits into the plant cell culture or plant leaf</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 3</b>: Affinity purification of protein complexes</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 4</b>: On-bead trypsin/LysC digestion and C18 column peptide desalting and concentration</p><p><b>Basic Protocol 5</b>: Data analysis and quality control</p>","PeriodicalId":10932,"journal":{"name":"Current protocols in plant biology","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cppb.20099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46709922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The composition and assembly of the cell wall is an important aspect in plant development and plant biomass utilization. The application of anion-exchange chromatography to determine the monosaccharide composition of the insoluble matrix polysaccharides enables a complete profile of all major sugars in the cell wall from a single run.
