Abstract (250 words) 48
Globular and crystalloid chromoplasts were observed to be region-specifically formed in 49
orange flesh (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) and converted from amyloplasts during fruit maturation 50
which was associated with the composition of specific carotenoids and expression of 51
carotenogenic genes Subsequent iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analyses of purified 52
plastids from the flesh during chromoplast differentiation and senescence identified 1386 53
putative plastid-localized proteins 1016 of which were quantified by spectral counting The 54
iTRAQ values reflecting the expression abundance of three identified proteins were validated 55
by immunoblotting Based on iTRAQ data chromoplastogenesis appeared to be associated 56
with three major protein expression patterns (1) marked decrease in abundance of the proteins 57
participating in the translation machinery through ribosome assembly (2) increase in 58
abundance of the proteins involved in terpenoid biosynthesis (including carotenoids) stress-59
responses (redox ascorbate and glutathione) and development and (3) maintenance of the 60
proteins for signalling and DNAampRNA Interestingly strong increase in abundance of several 61
plastoglobule-localized proteins coincided with the formation of plastoglobules in the 62
chromoplast The proteomic data also showed that stable functioning of protein import 63
suppression of ribosome assembly and accumulation of chromoplast proteases are correlated 64
with amylo-to-chromoplast transition and thus these processes may play a collective role in 65
chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation By contrast chromoplast senescence process was 66
inferred to be associated with a significant increase in stress response and energy supply In 67
conclusion this comprehensive proteomic study identified many potentially new plastid-68
localized proteins and provides insights into the potential developmental and molecular 69
mechanisms underlying chromoplast biogenesis differentiation and senescence in orange 70

Introduction 75
Chromoplasts are special organelles with superior ability to synthesize and store massive 76
amounts of carotenoids bringing vivid red orange and yellow colours to many flowers fruits 77
and vegetables (Li and Yuan 2013) Chromoplasts exhibit various morphologies such as 78
crystalline globular tubular and membranous structures (Egea et al 2010) The relationship 79
between the architecture and carotenoid composition has been well stated in diverse 80
Capsicum annuum and Solanum lycopersicum fruits (Kilcrease et al 2013 Nogueira et al 81
2013) Crystalline bodies have been observed in carrots (Frey-Wyssling and Schwegler 1965) 82
and tomatoes (Harris and Spurr 1969) which predominantly consist of β-carotene and 83
lycopene respectively Globular andor tubular-globular chromoplasts in which numerous 84
lipid droplets (also named plastoglobules) that act as passive storage compartments for 85
triglycerides sterol ester and some pigments are accumulated were described for yellow 86
fruits from kiwi papaya and mango which contain lutein β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene as 87
the major pigments respectively (Vasquez-Caicedo et al 2006 Montefiori et al 2009 88
Schweiggert et al 2011) Carotenoid composition has been reported to be regulated by the 89
expression of carotenogenic genes in the flesh of various citrus fruits differing in their internal 90
colors (Fanciullino et al 2006 2008) Chromoplasts are frequently derived from fully 91
developed chloroplasts as seen during fruit ripening from green to red or yellow fruits in 92
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) In some cases chromoplasts also arise from non-93
photosynthetic plastids such as colorless proplastids leucoplasts or amyloplasts (Knoth et al 94
1986 Schweiggert et al 2011) To date most studies on chromoplast differentiation have 95
been focused on the synthesis of carotenoids by combining biochemical and molecular 96
analyses (Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013 Cazzonelli and Pogson 97
2010) and little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying chromoplast 98
biogenesis (Li and Yuan 2013) 99
Recently proteomics has become an efficient tool to study protein composition of 100
subcellular organelles such as chromoplasts and their dynamic changes during the 101
development of a particular plant organtissue The majority of chromoplast-related studies 102
are concerned about the functions of these organelles in various crops such as pepper tomato 103

watermelon carrot cauliflower and papaya (Siddique et al 2006 Wang et al 2013) 104
However only a few of such studies addressed the mechanisms underlying plastid 105
differentiation such as transition from proplastid to chloroplast in maize (Majeran et al 106
2010) from etioplast to chloroplast in pea and rice (Kleffmann et al 2007 Kanervo et al 107
2008) and from chloroplast to chromoplast in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) In tomato 108
chromoplastogenesis appears to be associated with major metabolic shifts including a strong 109
decrease in abundance of the proteins involved in light reaction and an increase in terpenoid 110
biosyntheisis and stress-response proteins (Barsan et al 2012) These changes in proteins are 111
in agreement with the structural changes occurring in tomato during fruit ripening which is 112
characterized by the loss of chlorophyll and the synthesis of colored compounds Chromoplast 113
differentiation from non-photosynthetic plastids occurs frequently in a number of plant tissues 114
such as watermelon flesh and carrot root (Kim et al 2010 Wang et al 2013) However to 115
the best of our knowledge no large-scale proteomic study for understanding this 116
developmental process has been reported 117
Citrus is one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world Different from 118
the model fruit tomato which represents climacteric fruits citrus shows non-climacteric 119
characteristics during fruit maturation Additionally citrus fruits exhibit a unique anatomical 120
fruit structure consisting of two major sections the pericarp and the edible flesh Considerable 121
progresses have been made in the understanding of chromoplast differentiation in the pericarp 122
of citrus fruits (Eilati et al 1969 Iglesias et al 2007) which is a process similar to that of 123
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) However little is known about the molecular basis of 124
chromoplast differentiation in the edible flesh even though there are increasing evidences 125
suggesting an essential role of carotenoid synthesis in inducing chromoplast differentiation 126
(Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013) Recently we successfully isolated 127
and purified intact chromoplasts containing a large number of plastoglobules from the flesh of 128
orange fruits at the maturation stage (Zeng et al 2011) The same method has also been 129
successfully used for isolating plastids from orange flesh in earlier maturation stages (Zeng et 130
al 2014) thus making comparative and quantitative proteomic analysis of plastid 131
differentiation possible In the present study we investigated how ultrastructural changes of 132

plastidschromoplasts during orange fruit maturation might be associated with the changes in 133
the composition of carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes in red and yellow 134
flesh of the fruits Furthermore we employed the iTRAQ-based (isobaric tag for relative and 135
absolute quantitation) technology to investigate how protein compositional changes might be 136
correlated with metabolic and structural changes in the plastids of orange flesh during their 137
transformation from amyloplasts to chromoplasts 138
Results 139
Structural diversity of chromoplasts in sweet orange flesh 140
Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids and most of them have yellow flesh but occasionally red-141
fleshed fruits are produced due to spontaneous mutations In the present study mutant lsquoHong 142
Anliursquo (Fig 1A) and its wild-type fruit lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 1B) as well as mutant lsquoCara Cararsquo (Fig 143
1E) and its wild-type fruit lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel at maturation (Fig 1F) were used as materials for 144
observing chromoplast types Based on the citrus anatomy the edible flesh mainly consists of 145
segment membrane and sac (Fig 1 C and D G and H) In this study we further separated the 146
sac into two independent parts one is sac membrane and the other is juice (Fig 1G) 147
Crystalloid and globular chromoplast types were observed in the flesh of sweet orange 148
Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine the 149
formation of carotenoid sequestering structures in sweet orange Visible red carotenoid 150
sequestering structures were found in the membrane of sac and segment from lsquoHong Anliursquo 151
(Fig 2 A and B) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1 A and B) and polarization 152
microscopy confirmed their crystal nature (Fig 2 G and H Supplemental Fig S1 G and H) 153
According to a protocol for isolating plastids (Zeng et al 2011) abundant carotenoid crystals 154
with the size from 2 μm to 10 μm were detected in the isolation buffer (Fig 3A) Their TEM 155
images showed structural diversities in lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 B-E) and lsquoCara Cararsquo 156
(Supplemental Fig S2 A-D) 157
Globular-shaped chromoplasts with yellow-orange color were frequently observed in the 158
juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 2C) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1C) as well in the 159

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232
Saffron flowers tobacco floral nectaries and peach palm fruit (Grilli Caiola and Canini 2004 233
Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

Abstract (250 words) 48
Globular and crystalloid chromoplasts were observed to be region-specifically formed in 49
orange flesh (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) and converted from amyloplasts during fruit maturation 50
which was associated with the composition of specific carotenoids and expression of 51
carotenogenic genes Subsequent iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analyses of purified 52
plastids from the flesh during chromoplast differentiation and senescence identified 1386 53
putative plastid-localized proteins 1016 of which were quantified by spectral counting The 54
iTRAQ values reflecting the expression abundance of three identified proteins were validated 55
by immunoblotting Based on iTRAQ data chromoplastogenesis appeared to be associated 56
with three major protein expression patterns (1) marked decrease in abundance of the proteins 57
participating in the translation machinery through ribosome assembly (2) increase in 58
abundance of the proteins involved in terpenoid biosynthesis (including carotenoids) stress-59
responses (redox ascorbate and glutathione) and development and (3) maintenance of the 60
proteins for signalling and DNAampRNA Interestingly strong increase in abundance of several 61
plastoglobule-localized proteins coincided with the formation of plastoglobules in the 62
chromoplast The proteomic data also showed that stable functioning of protein import 63
suppression of ribosome assembly and accumulation of chromoplast proteases are correlated 64
with amylo-to-chromoplast transition and thus these processes may play a collective role in 65
chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation By contrast chromoplast senescence process was 66
inferred to be associated with a significant increase in stress response and energy supply In 67
conclusion this comprehensive proteomic study identified many potentially new plastid-68
localized proteins and provides insights into the potential developmental and molecular 69
mechanisms underlying chromoplast biogenesis differentiation and senescence in orange 70

Introduction 75
Chromoplasts are special organelles with superior ability to synthesize and store massive 76
amounts of carotenoids bringing vivid red orange and yellow colours to many flowers fruits 77
and vegetables (Li and Yuan 2013) Chromoplasts exhibit various morphologies such as 78
crystalline globular tubular and membranous structures (Egea et al 2010) The relationship 79
between the architecture and carotenoid composition has been well stated in diverse 80
Capsicum annuum and Solanum lycopersicum fruits (Kilcrease et al 2013 Nogueira et al 81
2013) Crystalline bodies have been observed in carrots (Frey-Wyssling and Schwegler 1965) 82
and tomatoes (Harris and Spurr 1969) which predominantly consist of β-carotene and 83
lycopene respectively Globular andor tubular-globular chromoplasts in which numerous 84
lipid droplets (also named plastoglobules) that act as passive storage compartments for 85
triglycerides sterol ester and some pigments are accumulated were described for yellow 86
fruits from kiwi papaya and mango which contain lutein β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene as 87
the major pigments respectively (Vasquez-Caicedo et al 2006 Montefiori et al 2009 88
Schweiggert et al 2011) Carotenoid composition has been reported to be regulated by the 89
expression of carotenogenic genes in the flesh of various citrus fruits differing in their internal 90
colors (Fanciullino et al 2006 2008) Chromoplasts are frequently derived from fully 91
developed chloroplasts as seen during fruit ripening from green to red or yellow fruits in 92
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) In some cases chromoplasts also arise from non-93
photosynthetic plastids such as colorless proplastids leucoplasts or amyloplasts (Knoth et al 94
1986 Schweiggert et al 2011) To date most studies on chromoplast differentiation have 95
been focused on the synthesis of carotenoids by combining biochemical and molecular 96
analyses (Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013 Cazzonelli and Pogson 97
2010) and little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying chromoplast 98
biogenesis (Li and Yuan 2013) 99
Recently proteomics has become an efficient tool to study protein composition of 100
subcellular organelles such as chromoplasts and their dynamic changes during the 101
development of a particular plant organtissue The majority of chromoplast-related studies 102
are concerned about the functions of these organelles in various crops such as pepper tomato 103

watermelon carrot cauliflower and papaya (Siddique et al 2006 Wang et al 2013) 104
However only a few of such studies addressed the mechanisms underlying plastid 105
differentiation such as transition from proplastid to chloroplast in maize (Majeran et al 106
2010) from etioplast to chloroplast in pea and rice (Kleffmann et al 2007 Kanervo et al 107
2008) and from chloroplast to chromoplast in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) In tomato 108
chromoplastogenesis appears to be associated with major metabolic shifts including a strong 109
decrease in abundance of the proteins involved in light reaction and an increase in terpenoid 110
biosyntheisis and stress-response proteins (Barsan et al 2012) These changes in proteins are 111
in agreement with the structural changes occurring in tomato during fruit ripening which is 112
characterized by the loss of chlorophyll and the synthesis of colored compounds Chromoplast 113
differentiation from non-photosynthetic plastids occurs frequently in a number of plant tissues 114
such as watermelon flesh and carrot root (Kim et al 2010 Wang et al 2013) However to 115
the best of our knowledge no large-scale proteomic study for understanding this 116
developmental process has been reported 117
Citrus is one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world Different from 118
the model fruit tomato which represents climacteric fruits citrus shows non-climacteric 119
characteristics during fruit maturation Additionally citrus fruits exhibit a unique anatomical 120
fruit structure consisting of two major sections the pericarp and the edible flesh Considerable 121
progresses have been made in the understanding of chromoplast differentiation in the pericarp 122
of citrus fruits (Eilati et al 1969 Iglesias et al 2007) which is a process similar to that of 123
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) However little is known about the molecular basis of 124
chromoplast differentiation in the edible flesh even though there are increasing evidences 125
suggesting an essential role of carotenoid synthesis in inducing chromoplast differentiation 126
(Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013) Recently we successfully isolated 127
and purified intact chromoplasts containing a large number of plastoglobules from the flesh of 128
orange fruits at the maturation stage (Zeng et al 2011) The same method has also been 129
successfully used for isolating plastids from orange flesh in earlier maturation stages (Zeng et 130
al 2014) thus making comparative and quantitative proteomic analysis of plastid 131
differentiation possible In the present study we investigated how ultrastructural changes of 132

plastidschromoplasts during orange fruit maturation might be associated with the changes in 133
the composition of carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes in red and yellow 134
flesh of the fruits Furthermore we employed the iTRAQ-based (isobaric tag for relative and 135
absolute quantitation) technology to investigate how protein compositional changes might be 136
correlated with metabolic and structural changes in the plastids of orange flesh during their 137
transformation from amyloplasts to chromoplasts 138
Results 139
Structural diversity of chromoplasts in sweet orange flesh 140
Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids and most of them have yellow flesh but occasionally red-141
fleshed fruits are produced due to spontaneous mutations In the present study mutant lsquoHong 142
Anliursquo (Fig 1A) and its wild-type fruit lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 1B) as well as mutant lsquoCara Cararsquo (Fig 143
1E) and its wild-type fruit lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel at maturation (Fig 1F) were used as materials for 144
observing chromoplast types Based on the citrus anatomy the edible flesh mainly consists of 145
segment membrane and sac (Fig 1 C and D G and H) In this study we further separated the 146
sac into two independent parts one is sac membrane and the other is juice (Fig 1G) 147
Crystalloid and globular chromoplast types were observed in the flesh of sweet orange 148
Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine the 149
formation of carotenoid sequestering structures in sweet orange Visible red carotenoid 150
sequestering structures were found in the membrane of sac and segment from lsquoHong Anliursquo 151
(Fig 2 A and B) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1 A and B) and polarization 152
microscopy confirmed their crystal nature (Fig 2 G and H Supplemental Fig S1 G and H) 153
According to a protocol for isolating plastids (Zeng et al 2011) abundant carotenoid crystals 154
with the size from 2 μm to 10 μm were detected in the isolation buffer (Fig 3A) Their TEM 155
images showed structural diversities in lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 B-E) and lsquoCara Cararsquo 156
(Supplemental Fig S2 A-D) 157
Globular-shaped chromoplasts with yellow-orange color were frequently observed in the 158
juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 2C) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1C) as well in the 159

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

9
MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232

Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683

Abstract (250 words) 48
Globular and crystalloid chromoplasts were observed to be region-specifically formed in 49
orange flesh (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) and converted from amyloplasts during fruit maturation 50
which was associated with the composition of specific carotenoids and expression of 51
carotenogenic genes Subsequent iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analyses of purified 52
plastids from the flesh during chromoplast differentiation and senescence identified 1386 53
putative plastid-localized proteins 1016 of which were quantified by spectral counting The 54
iTRAQ values reflecting the expression abundance of three identified proteins were validated 55
by immunoblotting Based on iTRAQ data chromoplastogenesis appeared to be associated 56
with three major protein expression patterns (1) marked decrease in abundance of the proteins 57
participating in the translation machinery through ribosome assembly (2) increase in 58
abundance of the proteins involved in terpenoid biosynthesis (including carotenoids) stress-59
responses (redox ascorbate and glutathione) and development and (3) maintenance of the 60
proteins for signalling and DNAampRNA Interestingly strong increase in abundance of several 61
plastoglobule-localized proteins coincided with the formation of plastoglobules in the 62
chromoplast The proteomic data also showed that stable functioning of protein import 63
suppression of ribosome assembly and accumulation of chromoplast proteases are correlated 64
with amylo-to-chromoplast transition and thus these processes may play a collective role in 65
chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation By contrast chromoplast senescence process was 66
inferred to be associated with a significant increase in stress response and energy supply In 67
conclusion this comprehensive proteomic study identified many potentially new plastid-68
localized proteins and provides insights into the potential developmental and molecular 69
mechanisms underlying chromoplast biogenesis differentiation and senescence in orange 70

Introduction 75
Chromoplasts are special organelles with superior ability to synthesize and store massive 76
amounts of carotenoids bringing vivid red orange and yellow colours to many flowers fruits 77
and vegetables (Li and Yuan 2013) Chromoplasts exhibit various morphologies such as 78
crystalline globular tubular and membranous structures (Egea et al 2010) The relationship 79
between the architecture and carotenoid composition has been well stated in diverse 80
Capsicum annuum and Solanum lycopersicum fruits (Kilcrease et al 2013 Nogueira et al 81
2013) Crystalline bodies have been observed in carrots (Frey-Wyssling and Schwegler 1965) 82
and tomatoes (Harris and Spurr 1969) which predominantly consist of β-carotene and 83
lycopene respectively Globular andor tubular-globular chromoplasts in which numerous 84
lipid droplets (also named plastoglobules) that act as passive storage compartments for 85
triglycerides sterol ester and some pigments are accumulated were described for yellow 86
fruits from kiwi papaya and mango which contain lutein β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene as 87
the major pigments respectively (Vasquez-Caicedo et al 2006 Montefiori et al 2009 88
Schweiggert et al 2011) Carotenoid composition has been reported to be regulated by the 89
expression of carotenogenic genes in the flesh of various citrus fruits differing in their internal 90
colors (Fanciullino et al 2006 2008) Chromoplasts are frequently derived from fully 91
developed chloroplasts as seen during fruit ripening from green to red or yellow fruits in 92
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) In some cases chromoplasts also arise from non-93
photosynthetic plastids such as colorless proplastids leucoplasts or amyloplasts (Knoth et al 94
1986 Schweiggert et al 2011) To date most studies on chromoplast differentiation have 95
been focused on the synthesis of carotenoids by combining biochemical and molecular 96
analyses (Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013 Cazzonelli and Pogson 97
2010) and little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying chromoplast 98
biogenesis (Li and Yuan 2013) 99
Recently proteomics has become an efficient tool to study protein composition of 100
subcellular organelles such as chromoplasts and their dynamic changes during the 101
development of a particular plant organtissue The majority of chromoplast-related studies 102
are concerned about the functions of these organelles in various crops such as pepper tomato 103

watermelon carrot cauliflower and papaya (Siddique et al 2006 Wang et al 2013) 104
However only a few of such studies addressed the mechanisms underlying plastid 105
differentiation such as transition from proplastid to chloroplast in maize (Majeran et al 106
2010) from etioplast to chloroplast in pea and rice (Kleffmann et al 2007 Kanervo et al 107
2008) and from chloroplast to chromoplast in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) In tomato 108
chromoplastogenesis appears to be associated with major metabolic shifts including a strong 109
decrease in abundance of the proteins involved in light reaction and an increase in terpenoid 110
biosyntheisis and stress-response proteins (Barsan et al 2012) These changes in proteins are 111
in agreement with the structural changes occurring in tomato during fruit ripening which is 112
characterized by the loss of chlorophyll and the synthesis of colored compounds Chromoplast 113
differentiation from non-photosynthetic plastids occurs frequently in a number of plant tissues 114
such as watermelon flesh and carrot root (Kim et al 2010 Wang et al 2013) However to 115
the best of our knowledge no large-scale proteomic study for understanding this 116
developmental process has been reported 117
Citrus is one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world Different from 118
the model fruit tomato which represents climacteric fruits citrus shows non-climacteric 119
characteristics during fruit maturation Additionally citrus fruits exhibit a unique anatomical 120
fruit structure consisting of two major sections the pericarp and the edible flesh Considerable 121
progresses have been made in the understanding of chromoplast differentiation in the pericarp 122
of citrus fruits (Eilati et al 1969 Iglesias et al 2007) which is a process similar to that of 123
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) However little is known about the molecular basis of 124
chromoplast differentiation in the edible flesh even though there are increasing evidences 125
suggesting an essential role of carotenoid synthesis in inducing chromoplast differentiation 126
(Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013) Recently we successfully isolated 127
and purified intact chromoplasts containing a large number of plastoglobules from the flesh of 128
orange fruits at the maturation stage (Zeng et al 2011) The same method has also been 129
successfully used for isolating plastids from orange flesh in earlier maturation stages (Zeng et 130
al 2014) thus making comparative and quantitative proteomic analysis of plastid 131
differentiation possible In the present study we investigated how ultrastructural changes of 132

plastidschromoplasts during orange fruit maturation might be associated with the changes in 133
the composition of carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes in red and yellow 134
flesh of the fruits Furthermore we employed the iTRAQ-based (isobaric tag for relative and 135
absolute quantitation) technology to investigate how protein compositional changes might be 136
correlated with metabolic and structural changes in the plastids of orange flesh during their 137
transformation from amyloplasts to chromoplasts 138
Results 139
Structural diversity of chromoplasts in sweet orange flesh 140
Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids and most of them have yellow flesh but occasionally red-141
fleshed fruits are produced due to spontaneous mutations In the present study mutant lsquoHong 142
Anliursquo (Fig 1A) and its wild-type fruit lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 1B) as well as mutant lsquoCara Cararsquo (Fig 143
1E) and its wild-type fruit lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel at maturation (Fig 1F) were used as materials for 144
observing chromoplast types Based on the citrus anatomy the edible flesh mainly consists of 145
segment membrane and sac (Fig 1 C and D G and H) In this study we further separated the 146
sac into two independent parts one is sac membrane and the other is juice (Fig 1G) 147
Crystalloid and globular chromoplast types were observed in the flesh of sweet orange 148
Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine the 149
formation of carotenoid sequestering structures in sweet orange Visible red carotenoid 150
sequestering structures were found in the membrane of sac and segment from lsquoHong Anliursquo 151
(Fig 2 A and B) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1 A and B) and polarization 152
microscopy confirmed their crystal nature (Fig 2 G and H Supplemental Fig S1 G and H) 153
According to a protocol for isolating plastids (Zeng et al 2011) abundant carotenoid crystals 154
with the size from 2 μm to 10 μm were detected in the isolation buffer (Fig 3A) Their TEM 155
images showed structural diversities in lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 B-E) and lsquoCara Cararsquo 156
(Supplemental Fig S2 A-D) 157
Globular-shaped chromoplasts with yellow-orange color were frequently observed in the 158
juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 2C) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1C) as well in the 159

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232
Saffron flowers tobacco floral nectaries and peach palm fruit (Grilli Caiola and Canini 2004 233
Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

Introduction 75
Chromoplasts are special organelles with superior ability to synthesize and store massive 76
amounts of carotenoids bringing vivid red orange and yellow colours to many flowers fruits 77
and vegetables (Li and Yuan 2013) Chromoplasts exhibit various morphologies such as 78
crystalline globular tubular and membranous structures (Egea et al 2010) The relationship 79
between the architecture and carotenoid composition has been well stated in diverse 80
Capsicum annuum and Solanum lycopersicum fruits (Kilcrease et al 2013 Nogueira et al 81
2013) Crystalline bodies have been observed in carrots (Frey-Wyssling and Schwegler 1965) 82
and tomatoes (Harris and Spurr 1969) which predominantly consist of β-carotene and 83
lycopene respectively Globular andor tubular-globular chromoplasts in which numerous 84
lipid droplets (also named plastoglobules) that act as passive storage compartments for 85
triglycerides sterol ester and some pigments are accumulated were described for yellow 86
fruits from kiwi papaya and mango which contain lutein β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene as 87
the major pigments respectively (Vasquez-Caicedo et al 2006 Montefiori et al 2009 88
Schweiggert et al 2011) Carotenoid composition has been reported to be regulated by the 89
expression of carotenogenic genes in the flesh of various citrus fruits differing in their internal 90
colors (Fanciullino et al 2006 2008) Chromoplasts are frequently derived from fully 91
developed chloroplasts as seen during fruit ripening from green to red or yellow fruits in 92
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) In some cases chromoplasts also arise from non-93
photosynthetic plastids such as colorless proplastids leucoplasts or amyloplasts (Knoth et al 94
1986 Schweiggert et al 2011) To date most studies on chromoplast differentiation have 95
been focused on the synthesis of carotenoids by combining biochemical and molecular 96
analyses (Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013 Cazzonelli and Pogson 97
2010) and little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying chromoplast 98
biogenesis (Li and Yuan 2013) 99
Recently proteomics has become an efficient tool to study protein composition of 100
subcellular organelles such as chromoplasts and their dynamic changes during the 101
development of a particular plant organtissue The majority of chromoplast-related studies 102
are concerned about the functions of these organelles in various crops such as pepper tomato 103

watermelon carrot cauliflower and papaya (Siddique et al 2006 Wang et al 2013) 104
However only a few of such studies addressed the mechanisms underlying plastid 105
differentiation such as transition from proplastid to chloroplast in maize (Majeran et al 106
2010) from etioplast to chloroplast in pea and rice (Kleffmann et al 2007 Kanervo et al 107
2008) and from chloroplast to chromoplast in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) In tomato 108
chromoplastogenesis appears to be associated with major metabolic shifts including a strong 109
decrease in abundance of the proteins involved in light reaction and an increase in terpenoid 110
biosyntheisis and stress-response proteins (Barsan et al 2012) These changes in proteins are 111
in agreement with the structural changes occurring in tomato during fruit ripening which is 112
characterized by the loss of chlorophyll and the synthesis of colored compounds Chromoplast 113
differentiation from non-photosynthetic plastids occurs frequently in a number of plant tissues 114
such as watermelon flesh and carrot root (Kim et al 2010 Wang et al 2013) However to 115
the best of our knowledge no large-scale proteomic study for understanding this 116
developmental process has been reported 117
Citrus is one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world Different from 118
the model fruit tomato which represents climacteric fruits citrus shows non-climacteric 119
characteristics during fruit maturation Additionally citrus fruits exhibit a unique anatomical 120
fruit structure consisting of two major sections the pericarp and the edible flesh Considerable 121
progresses have been made in the understanding of chromoplast differentiation in the pericarp 122
of citrus fruits (Eilati et al 1969 Iglesias et al 2007) which is a process similar to that of 123
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) However little is known about the molecular basis of 124
chromoplast differentiation in the edible flesh even though there are increasing evidences 125
suggesting an essential role of carotenoid synthesis in inducing chromoplast differentiation 126
(Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013) Recently we successfully isolated 127
and purified intact chromoplasts containing a large number of plastoglobules from the flesh of 128
orange fruits at the maturation stage (Zeng et al 2011) The same method has also been 129
successfully used for isolating plastids from orange flesh in earlier maturation stages (Zeng et 130
al 2014) thus making comparative and quantitative proteomic analysis of plastid 131
differentiation possible In the present study we investigated how ultrastructural changes of 132

plastidschromoplasts during orange fruit maturation might be associated with the changes in 133
the composition of carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes in red and yellow 134
flesh of the fruits Furthermore we employed the iTRAQ-based (isobaric tag for relative and 135
absolute quantitation) technology to investigate how protein compositional changes might be 136
correlated with metabolic and structural changes in the plastids of orange flesh during their 137
transformation from amyloplasts to chromoplasts 138
Results 139
Structural diversity of chromoplasts in sweet orange flesh 140
Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids and most of them have yellow flesh but occasionally red-141
fleshed fruits are produced due to spontaneous mutations In the present study mutant lsquoHong 142
Anliursquo (Fig 1A) and its wild-type fruit lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 1B) as well as mutant lsquoCara Cararsquo (Fig 143
1E) and its wild-type fruit lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel at maturation (Fig 1F) were used as materials for 144
observing chromoplast types Based on the citrus anatomy the edible flesh mainly consists of 145
segment membrane and sac (Fig 1 C and D G and H) In this study we further separated the 146
sac into two independent parts one is sac membrane and the other is juice (Fig 1G) 147
Crystalloid and globular chromoplast types were observed in the flesh of sweet orange 148
Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine the 149
formation of carotenoid sequestering structures in sweet orange Visible red carotenoid 150
sequestering structures were found in the membrane of sac and segment from lsquoHong Anliursquo 151
(Fig 2 A and B) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1 A and B) and polarization 152
microscopy confirmed their crystal nature (Fig 2 G and H Supplemental Fig S1 G and H) 153
According to a protocol for isolating plastids (Zeng et al 2011) abundant carotenoid crystals 154
with the size from 2 μm to 10 μm were detected in the isolation buffer (Fig 3A) Their TEM 155
images showed structural diversities in lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 B-E) and lsquoCara Cararsquo 156
(Supplemental Fig S2 A-D) 157
Globular-shaped chromoplasts with yellow-orange color were frequently observed in the 158
juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 2C) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1C) as well in the 159

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232
Saffron flowers tobacco floral nectaries and peach palm fruit (Grilli Caiola and Canini 2004 233
Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365

Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

enzyme with the number of missed cleavages up to 2 carbamidomethyl cysteine residues 726
as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

watermelon carrot cauliflower and papaya (Siddique et al 2006 Wang et al 2013) 104
However only a few of such studies addressed the mechanisms underlying plastid 105
differentiation such as transition from proplastid to chloroplast in maize (Majeran et al 106
2010) from etioplast to chloroplast in pea and rice (Kleffmann et al 2007 Kanervo et al 107
2008) and from chloroplast to chromoplast in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) In tomato 108
chromoplastogenesis appears to be associated with major metabolic shifts including a strong 109
decrease in abundance of the proteins involved in light reaction and an increase in terpenoid 110
biosyntheisis and stress-response proteins (Barsan et al 2012) These changes in proteins are 111
in agreement with the structural changes occurring in tomato during fruit ripening which is 112
characterized by the loss of chlorophyll and the synthesis of colored compounds Chromoplast 113
differentiation from non-photosynthetic plastids occurs frequently in a number of plant tissues 114
such as watermelon flesh and carrot root (Kim et al 2010 Wang et al 2013) However to 115
the best of our knowledge no large-scale proteomic study for understanding this 116
developmental process has been reported 117
Citrus is one of the most economically important fruit crops in the world Different from 118
the model fruit tomato which represents climacteric fruits citrus shows non-climacteric 119
characteristics during fruit maturation Additionally citrus fruits exhibit a unique anatomical 120
fruit structure consisting of two major sections the pericarp and the edible flesh Considerable 121
progresses have been made in the understanding of chromoplast differentiation in the pericarp 122
of citrus fruits (Eilati et al 1969 Iglesias et al 2007) which is a process similar to that of 123
tomato and pepper (Egea et al 2010) However little is known about the molecular basis of 124
chromoplast differentiation in the edible flesh even though there are increasing evidences 125
suggesting an essential role of carotenoid synthesis in inducing chromoplast differentiation 126
(Egea et al 2010 Bian et al 2011 Li and Yuan 2013) Recently we successfully isolated 127
and purified intact chromoplasts containing a large number of plastoglobules from the flesh of 128
orange fruits at the maturation stage (Zeng et al 2011) The same method has also been 129
successfully used for isolating plastids from orange flesh in earlier maturation stages (Zeng et 130
al 2014) thus making comparative and quantitative proteomic analysis of plastid 131
differentiation possible In the present study we investigated how ultrastructural changes of 132

plastidschromoplasts during orange fruit maturation might be associated with the changes in 133
the composition of carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes in red and yellow 134
flesh of the fruits Furthermore we employed the iTRAQ-based (isobaric tag for relative and 135
absolute quantitation) technology to investigate how protein compositional changes might be 136
correlated with metabolic and structural changes in the plastids of orange flesh during their 137
transformation from amyloplasts to chromoplasts 138
Results 139
Structural diversity of chromoplasts in sweet orange flesh 140
Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids and most of them have yellow flesh but occasionally red-141
fleshed fruits are produced due to spontaneous mutations In the present study mutant lsquoHong 142
Anliursquo (Fig 1A) and its wild-type fruit lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 1B) as well as mutant lsquoCara Cararsquo (Fig 143
1E) and its wild-type fruit lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel at maturation (Fig 1F) were used as materials for 144
observing chromoplast types Based on the citrus anatomy the edible flesh mainly consists of 145
segment membrane and sac (Fig 1 C and D G and H) In this study we further separated the 146
sac into two independent parts one is sac membrane and the other is juice (Fig 1G) 147
Crystalloid and globular chromoplast types were observed in the flesh of sweet orange 148
Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine the 149
formation of carotenoid sequestering structures in sweet orange Visible red carotenoid 150
sequestering structures were found in the membrane of sac and segment from lsquoHong Anliursquo 151
(Fig 2 A and B) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1 A and B) and polarization 152
microscopy confirmed their crystal nature (Fig 2 G and H Supplemental Fig S1 G and H) 153
According to a protocol for isolating plastids (Zeng et al 2011) abundant carotenoid crystals 154
with the size from 2 μm to 10 μm were detected in the isolation buffer (Fig 3A) Their TEM 155
images showed structural diversities in lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 B-E) and lsquoCara Cararsquo 156
(Supplemental Fig S2 A-D) 157
Globular-shaped chromoplasts with yellow-orange color were frequently observed in the 158
juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 2C) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1C) as well in the 159

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232
Saffron flowers tobacco floral nectaries and peach palm fruit (Grilli Caiola and Canini 2004 233
Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722

Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

plastidschromoplasts during orange fruit maturation might be associated with the changes in 133
the composition of carotenoids and the expression of carotenogenic genes in red and yellow 134
flesh of the fruits Furthermore we employed the iTRAQ-based (isobaric tag for relative and 135
absolute quantitation) technology to investigate how protein compositional changes might be 136
correlated with metabolic and structural changes in the plastids of orange flesh during their 137
transformation from amyloplasts to chromoplasts 138
Results 139
Structural diversity of chromoplasts in sweet orange flesh 140
Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids and most of them have yellow flesh but occasionally red-141
fleshed fruits are produced due to spontaneous mutations In the present study mutant lsquoHong 142
Anliursquo (Fig 1A) and its wild-type fruit lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 1B) as well as mutant lsquoCara Cararsquo (Fig 143
1E) and its wild-type fruit lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel at maturation (Fig 1F) were used as materials for 144
observing chromoplast types Based on the citrus anatomy the edible flesh mainly consists of 145
segment membrane and sac (Fig 1 C and D G and H) In this study we further separated the 146
sac into two independent parts one is sac membrane and the other is juice (Fig 1G) 147
Crystalloid and globular chromoplast types were observed in the flesh of sweet orange 148
Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine the 149
formation of carotenoid sequestering structures in sweet orange Visible red carotenoid 150
sequestering structures were found in the membrane of sac and segment from lsquoHong Anliursquo 151
(Fig 2 A and B) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1 A and B) and polarization 152
microscopy confirmed their crystal nature (Fig 2 G and H Supplemental Fig S1 G and H) 153
According to a protocol for isolating plastids (Zeng et al 2011) abundant carotenoid crystals 154
with the size from 2 μm to 10 μm were detected in the isolation buffer (Fig 3A) Their TEM 155
images showed structural diversities in lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 B-E) and lsquoCara Cararsquo 156
(Supplemental Fig S2 A-D) 157
Globular-shaped chromoplasts with yellow-orange color were frequently observed in the 158
juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 2C) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig S1C) as well in the 159

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232

Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257

Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

then gently separated into segment membrane sac membrane and juice followed by freezing 614
in liquid nitrogen for subsequent extraction of carotenoids and RNA Fruits of lsquoHong Anliursquo 615
at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631
(httprsbwebnihgovij) 632
Carotenoid profile analysis 633
Carotenoid extraction and analysis using reversed-phase high performance liquid 634
chromatography (RP-HPLC) were conducted as previously described (Cao et al 2012) 635
Approximately 4 g of citrus fruit fresh weight (FW) was extracted separately from the 636
segment membrane sac membrane and juice from lsquoAnliursquo and lsquoHong Anliursquo at the fully 637
maturation stage The carotenoids were identified by their characteristic absorption spectra 638
and typical retention time based on the literature and standards from CaroNature Co (Bern 639
Switzerland) The output data were obtained from three experiment replicates 640

Protein preparation digestion and iTRAQ labelling 659
The pooled plastids were treated with acetone and the precipitated proteins were resuspended 660
by adding approximately 500 μL STD buffer (4 SDS 1 mM DTT 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 661
80 containing cocktail for proteases (EDTA-free Roche)) After 5 min incubation in boiling 662
water the homogenate was sonicated on ice The crude extract was then incubated in boiling 663
water again and clarified by centrifugation at 14000timesg for 40 min at 25 oC before the 664
supernatant was collected The protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic 665
acid protein assay kit (BCA Beyotime China) 666

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703

LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743

TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

edible flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 2 D-F) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S1 D-F) TEM 160
analysis showed that the globular chromoplasts isolated from different sweet orange tissues 161
including the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo (Fig 3 F and G) and lsquoCara Cararsquo (Supplemental Fig 162
S2E) and the flesh of lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 3 H and I) and lsquoNewhallrsquo Navel (Supplemental Fig S2F) 163
were found to contain plastoglobules varying in number size and electron density Taken 164
together the above results suggest that the red color of the mutants is attributable to the 165
membranes of sacs and segments rather than to the juice 166
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 167
their carotenoid content and composition 168
To determine whether the differences in chromoplast ultrastructure were associated with the 169
alteration of pigment storage we measured the content and composition of carotenoids in the 170
membranes of sac and segment as well as in the juice fractions of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo 171
With regard to the sac membranes we found that the total amount of carotenoids of lsquoHong 172
Anliursquo was about 15-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo and the levels of most carotenoids in 173
both cultivars were similar except for lycopene and beta-carotene which were relatively 174
higher in lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo respectively (Fig 4A) Interestingly we observed 175
remarkable differences of carotenoid content and composition in the segment membranes 176
The total amount of carotenoids in lsquoHong Anliursquo was 4-fold higher than that of lsquoAnliursquo In 177
addition the composition of carotenoids was also very different between these two cultivars 178
with lycopene accounting for 918 and violaxanthin 36 of the total carotenoids in lsquoHong 179
Anliursquo (Fig 4B right) and with violaxanthin accounting for 734 (356 μgg of FW Fig 180
4D) and lycopene being almost absent in the total carotenoids in lsquoAnliursquo (Fig 4B left) 181
However both cultivars had a similar carotenoid profile in their juice fractions in which 182
violaxanthin and lutein were dominant and lycopene was absent (Fig 4C) suggesting that the 183
chromoplasts from the juice may be structurally similar between these two cultivars 184

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232

Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257

conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

16
globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

then gently separated into segment membrane sac membrane and juice followed by freezing 614
in liquid nitrogen for subsequent extraction of carotenoids and RNA Fruits of lsquoHong Anliursquo 615
at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631

Protein preparation digestion and iTRAQ labelling 659
The pooled plastids were treated with acetone and the precipitated proteins were resuspended 660
by adding approximately 500 μL STD buffer (4 SDS 1 mM DTT 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 661
80 containing cocktail for proteases (EDTA-free Roche)) After 5 min incubation in boiling 662
water the homogenate was sonicated on ice The crude extract was then incubated in boiling 663
water again and clarified by centrifugation at 14000timesg for 40 min at 25 oC before the 664
supernatant was collected The protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic 665
acid protein assay kit (BCA Beyotime China) 666

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703

LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711

the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718

TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

For understanding the origin of chromoplasts the sac membrane and juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo 187
fruit were examined throughout the fruit-maturation period till typical crystalloid and globular 188
chromoplasts were finally formed (Fig 3 A and F) Amyloplasts with large starch granules 189
were frequently observed in the sac membrane at the immature green (IMG) stage (see 190
definition in lsquoMaterials and methodsrsquo) but plastoglobules were invisible (Fig 5A) 191
Subsequently these starch granules gradually disappeared at the mature green (MG) stage 192
which coincided with the formation of plastids containing a small number of plastoglobules 193
(Fig 5B) These observations suggest that the chromoplasts might be transformed from 194
amyloplasts At the colour-breaker (Br) stage there was a dramatic increase in the number of 195
plastoglobules with the appearance of a few slightly undulated tuber bodies in the plastids 196
(Fig 5C) As fruit maturation proceeded elongated (8 to 10 μm in length) or irregular 197
crystalloid bodies were formed which were often surrounded by a graywhitish membrane 198
structure (Fig 5D) that disappeared before the formation of a crystalloid chromoplast filled 199
with a few plastoglobules and some undulated membranes The undulated membranes 200
represented the remnants of membrane-coated carotenoid crystals which were extracted 201
during the fixation process of samples for TEM (Fig 5E) It seems that the large 202
accumulation of the crystalloid bodies might contribute to the change of the plastid shape 203
from round to oval (Fig 5 C-E) 204
To investigate the pattern of plastid differentiation in the juice of sweet orange we 205
conducted cytological analyses using purified plastids from the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo as 206
previously described (Zeng et al 2014) Based on our observations plastids in the juice of 207
lsquoHong Anliursquo also appeared to be differentiated from amyloplasts (Fig 5F) and the typical 208
globular chromoplasts were strongly accumulated in the juice of lsquoHong Anliursquo from MG stage 209
to full maturation (FMa) stage (Fig 5 G-I) Once the plastids appeared the pigment-210
accumulation areas within plastids gradually increased from IMG to Ma stages (Fig 5J) 211
which was largely correlated with a gradual increase of the average number of plastoglobules 212
per plastid from 321 at the MG stage to ~1370 at the Br stage and the FMa stage (Fig 5K) 213
However the number of plastoglobules showed a slight decline to 113 at the over-maturation 214
(OMa) stage Meanwhile the size of the plastids increased from 229 μm in diameter at the 215

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232
Saffron flowers tobacco floral nectaries and peach palm fruit (Grilli Caiola and Canini 2004 233
Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631
(httprsbwebnihgovij) 632
Carotenoid profile analysis 633
Carotenoid extraction and analysis using reversed-phase high performance liquid 634
chromatography (RP-HPLC) were conducted as previously described (Cao et al 2012) 635
Approximately 4 g of citrus fruit fresh weight (FW) was extracted separately from the 636
segment membrane sac membrane and juice from lsquoAnliursquo and lsquoHong Anliursquo at the fully 637
maturation stage The carotenoids were identified by their characteristic absorption spectra 638
and typical retention time based on the literature and standards from CaroNature Co (Bern 639

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722

Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

MG stage to 259 μm at the Br stage and then stayed unchanged till the OMa stage (Fig 4L) 216
It is worth noting that the outer monolayer of plastoglobules appeared to be separate from the 217
internal main body (Supplemental Fig S3) at the OMa stage We also noted that the 218
chromoplasts from the juice maintained a round shape throughout the fruit maturation period 219
and that typical globular chromoplasts often contained concentrically arranged tubular 220
lamellae in the shape of a lsquohollowrsquo structure (Fig 4 H and I) More interestingly crystal 221
remnants frequently found in the chromoplasts of the sac membrane were not observed in the 222
chromoplasts of the juice suggesting that plastid differentiation in these two types of tissues 223
may follow different patterns To test if chloroplasts were present in the flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo 224
during fruit maturation we performed an immunoblotting assay for two thylakoid-targeted 225
proteins involved in photosynthesis (Supplemental Fig S4) No signal for either protein was 226
detected from the total proteins of flesh throughout the entire fruit maturation process 227
including the earlier maturation stage (30 days after flowering) As positive control both 228
proteins were detected in the total protein extracts of the lsquoHong Anliursquo leaves These results 229
suggest that the chromoplasts in the flesh were probably not directly derived from 230
chloroplasts Thus it can be speculated that citrus flesh chromoplasts may be differentiated 231
from amyloplasts which is similar to the results of studies on the origin of chromoplasts in 232
Saffron flowers tobacco floral nectaries and peach palm fruit (Grilli Caiola and Canini 2004 233
Horner et al 2007 Hempel et al 2014) 234
Relationship between the architecture of globular and crystalloid chromoplasts and 235
their carotenogenic transcript levels 236
Carotenoid accumulation is a net result of different activities related to carotenoid metabolism 237
such as biosynthesis turnover and sequestration of carotenoids (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 238
Hence it is conceivable that carotenoid accumulation during the development of globular- 239
and crystalloid- chromoplasts is an end result of coordinated expression of genes involved in 240
carotenoid biosynthesis degradation and storage To test this assumption the transcript levels 241
of the 16 carotenoid genes were selected to be compared between the segment membranes of 242
lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo where typical crystalloid and globular chromoplasts were formed 243

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

13
18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

enzyme with the number of missed cleavages up to 2 carbamidomethyl cysteine residues 726
as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

during fruit maturation (Fig 6) These genes included DXS and DXR involved in the plastidic 244
2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway eight genes in carotenoid biosynthesis 245
(PSY PDS ZDS CRTISO LCYb2 LCYe HYD and ZEP) two in carotenoid storage (FBN1 246
and FBN4) and four in carotenoid degradation (NCED2 NCED3 CCD4a and CCD4b) 247
As shown in Figure 6 most of the 16 genes showed a gradual increase in their transcript 248
levels during the formation of globular chromopalsts in lsquoAnliursquo except for CRTISO LCYe 249
CCD4a and CCD4b whose expression was relatively stable (lt2-fold change) The increased 250
expression of most carotenoid biosynthesis genes and the steady expression level of 251
carotenoid degradation gene (CCD4a and CCD4b) well explained the enhanced carotenoid 252
accumulation In contrast nearly all the tested genes showed enhanced expression during the 253
formation of crystalloid chromopalsts in lsquoHong Anliursquo except for CCD4a and CCD4b 254
Expression levels of CCD4a and CCD4b showed a ~3-fold decrease and a strong increase 255
(112-fold change) respectively (Fig 6) indicating that they might have different functions in 256
the formation of two distinct chromoplast types 257
Experimental design iTRAQ analysis and identification of plastid-localized proteins 258
Levels of gene transcription may not always be correlated with the expression of the proteins 259
of interest To understand global protein changes during chromoplast differentiation we 260
conducted an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of plastids purified from the flesh 261
of lsquoHong Anliursquo at four key colour stages (MG Br Ma and OMa) iTRAQ tag labelling of all 262
samples in each stage is summarized in Figure 7 To minimize system errors arising from 263
variations of the iTRAQ-based quantification system a protein mixture obtained by pooling 264
an equal amount of all tested samples was labelled with 113 tags as internal standard (IS) 265
Based on the chosen criteria for peptide and protein identification (see lsquoMaterials and 266
methodsrsquo) a total of 9236 unique peptides were identified (Supplemental Table S2) These 267
peptides were matched to 1905 unique protein groups in three independent biological 268
samples and 1596 of the 1905 unique protein groups were found to be mapped with at least 269
two unique peptides (Supplemental Table S3) with the corresponding false discovery rate of 270
each individual analysis lower than 1 (Sheng et al 2012) The proteins detected are well 271

11
distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437

Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

distributed (ie approximately 10-20 of the total proteins were identified in each molecular 272
weight group) within a molecular range of 10 to 60 kDa (Supplemental Fig S6A) In addition 273
a good peptide coverage was achieved for most of the identified proteins (Supplemental Fig 274
S6B) When the cut-off value was set as 50 variation the coverage levels for the three 275
biological replicates at four chromoplast differentiation stages varied from 9899 to 9938 276
(Supplemental Fig S7A) and the coverage levels for the technological replicates at MG and 277
Br stages were 9929 and 9930 respectively (Supplemental Fig S7B) indicating that 278
there is a good biological and technological reproducibility of this iTRAQ-analysis 279
The raw data obtained from the analysis of the replicates of the citrus plastid proteins 280
were refined by comparing the set of proteins with five plastidial databases (AT-CHLORO 281
Plprot PPDB SUBA and Uniprot) and three predictors for subcellular localization (TargetP 282
Predotar and WoLF PSORT) Only proteins present in at least two plastidial databases or 283
predicted to be plastid-localized by one of the predictors were retained for further analysis 284
Additionally manual curation was performed when sequence information is available in the 285
literature An inventory of 1386 proteins (including 20 proteins encoded by the plastid 286
genome Supplemental Table S4) was constructed and 1016 of them were annotated with 287
iTRAQ values (Supplemental Table S5) The majority of these annotated proteins 288
(992=727) were predicted to be plastid-localized by at least one predictor Specifically 289
WoLF PSORT TargetP and Predotar respectively predicted 637 (870 proteins) 493 290
(673 proteins) and 395 (540 proteins) of the 1386 annotated proteins as being plastid-291
localized with a considerable degree of overlapping prediction (Supplemental Fig S8) For 292
example the percentage of proteins predicted to be plastid-localized by all the three programs 293
was as high as 332 (453 proteins) suggesting that these proteins are likely plastid-targeted 294
proteins BLAST searches against the plastid protein databases suggest that 187 of the 1386 295
proteins may be novel plastid-localized proteins (Supplemental Table S4) 296
Validation of differentially expressed proteins by Western blot 297
To test if the iTRAQ values of the predicted plastid-targeted proteins generally reflect the 298
actual protein abundance we selected three proteins that are known to have distinct plastid-299

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683

localizations and show slight but clear development stage-fluctuations for the iTRAQ values 300
to determine protein abundance by immunoblotting analysis As shown in Figure 8 the 301
abundance of the protein binding to the chloroplast membrane (TIC40) showed a slight 302
decreasing tendency during chromoplast differentiation while plastoglobule-localized FBN1 303
and chloroplast-stroma-localized large subunit of Rubisco (RbcL) displayed a slight increase 304
from the MG stage to the Br stage followed by a decrease at the Br-to-OMa stage These 305
results were in good agreement with the corresponding iTRAQ values suggesting that the 306
data from our proteomic analysis are of high quality and may be useful for exploring how 307
changes in abundance of plastid-localized proteins are associated with chromoplast 308
differentiation on a whole proteome scale 309
Patterns of dynamic changes in protein abundance during amylo-to-chromoplast 310
transition 311
To test the idea mentioned above we subjected the iTRAQ data of the samples prepared from 312
fruit flesh of lsquoHong Anliursquo at three key colour stages (ie MG Br and Ma) to statistical 313
analyses for inferring if there is a significant change (p le005) of protein abundance for any 314
target protein The dynamic changes in protein abundance from the MG to the Ma stage could 315
be classified into seven patterns stable continuous increase early increase late increase 316
continuous decrease early decrease and late decrease (Fig 9A) Based on this classification 317
it was found that the proteins whose abundance remained constant (359) outnumbered those 318
whose abundance underwent an increase (53 continuous + 189 early + 41 late=283) or a 319
decrease (41 continuous + 92 early + 53 late =186) Notably among those proteins with a 320
change in abundance 189 (~228 of all 828 proteins examined) showed an early increase 321
and 92 (~111) showed an early decrease indicating that important changes in protein 322
abundance occurred in the early MG to Br stage (Fig 9A) 323
To get a clue as to what specific cellular processes are stable or changing during 324
chromoplast differentiation we further studied the stability or changes of proteins in different 325
functional classes Interestingly we found that 15 of 19 (789) proteins presumably 326
involved in lsquosignallingrsquo functional class remained stable in abundance In contrast only 3 of 327

18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

enzyme with the number of missed cleavages up to 2 carbamidomethyl cysteine residues 726
as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

18 (167) proteins predicted to be involved in metal handling remained constant The 328
percentage of proteins that showed no significant changes in abundance in the remaining 29 329
functional classes ranged from 704 to 30 (Fig 9B) Conceivably these proteins with 330
constant abundance may be important for maintaining basal metabolic functions of the 331
organelle during differentiation 332
Proteins falling into the lsquoprotein synthesisrsquo functional class showed most remarkable 333
decrease in abundance with 410 of proteins having an early decrease 131 having a 334
continuous decrease and 66 having a late decrease (Fig 9B) The majority of the proteins 335
in the lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo functional class also showed decrease in abundance 336
with 308 having an early decrease and 231 having a continuous decrease A lsquodecreasingrsquo 337
pattern of proteins involved in protein and ATP synthesis during chromplast differentiation 338
can be anticipated considering the lower metabolic activity of maturing organelles in general 339
Compared with the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern the lsquoincreasingrsquo pattern is more popular among more 340
functional classes during chromoplast differentiation For example 442 of proteins 341
implicated in protein degradation showed an abundance increase during the chromoplast 342
differentiation with 288 having an early increase 96 having a continuous increase and 343
58 having a late increase More strikingly 833 of the proteins involved in metal 344
handling showed either early increase (778) or late increase (56) suggesting that metal 345
handling is implicated in chromoplast differentiation Also noticeable is that 50 of the 346
proteins involved in secondary metabolism and S-metabolism showed increase in abundance 347
mostly in the early stage which is consistent with the anticipated increase in the synthesis of 348
some important secondary metabolites such as carotenoids vitamin E and terpene in 349
chromoplasts at the Br stage Additionally 439 of redox amp stress-related proteins showed 350
increase in abundance possibly reflecting that more stresses were imposed to fruits which in 351
turn strengthened the stress responses during chromoplast differentiation 352
To further infer possible regulatory mechanisms underlying the changes of protein 353
abundance we constructed a heatmap that represents the hierarchical clustering of the 354
proteins into each functional class according to their abundance patterns The results indicate 355

that the four main clusters were distinguishable (Fig 10) Among them Cluster III is enriched 356
for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683

for stable proteins including those involved in lipid metabolism TCAorg hormone 357
metabolism cell protein targeting DNA amp RNA miscellaneous protein others minor CHO 358
metabolism co-factor amp vitamin metabolism and signalling Cluster II is the only cluster 359
consisting of proteins with a strong decrease in abundance including protein synthesis and 360
electron transportATP synthesis while Cluster I is enriched for proteins with increased 361
abundance that are involved in fermentation metal handling glycolysis and development 362
Two subclusters of Cluster IV (a c) contain stable proteins or proteins with increased 363
abundance and a few proteins with decreased abundance The sub-cluster IV (b) contains 364
proteins without a major bias in abundance patterns and these proteins are involved in 365
transport nucleotide metabolism redox amp stress and amino acid metabolism 366
Functional categories of differentially expressed proteins between OMa and Ma stages 367
On-tree storage is an effective method to delay the senescence process and has been widely 368
used in the citrus industry During this process a variety of physiological parameters are 369
changed such as the decrease of firmness and titratable acidity and the increase of color 370
index and maturity index (Saacutenchez et al 2013) However the mechanisms underlying the 371
regulation of chromoplast fate remains unclear To screen for differentially expressed proteins 372
during chromoplast senescence the corresponding iTRAQ-values of the samples from OMa 373
and Ma were averaged and compared Since iTRAQ quantification might underestimate the 374
amount of real fold-change between the labelled samples (Karp et al 2010) a protein with a 375
differencege14 fold and a P-valuele005 after false discovery rate control was regarded as 376
being differentially expressed between OMa and Ma (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) 377
(Supplemental Table S6) Based on these criteria the expression of 76 proteins was 378
significantly higher in the OMa stage than in the Ma stage while the expression of 28 proteins 379
was the opposite To gain insight into the biological significance of such differential 380
expression the 104 proteins were categorized into functional classes by Mapman The 76 up-381
regulated proteins mainly fell into 5 categories stress amp redox TCAorg transport cell and 382
electron transportATP synthesis With regard to lsquostress and redoxrsquo class eleven stress-related 383
proteins had higher expression in OMa than in Ma stage for example glutathione 384

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

peroxidases6 (Cs5g316401) early responsive dehydration proteins (Cs2g083201) and 385
membrane-associated progesterone binding protein 3 (Cs9g171301) The significant increase 386
of these proteins involved in stress response in the present study is indicative of a high level 387
of redox activity in citrus chromoplasts and suggestive of an important role of these proteins 388
in sustaining plant defense reaction during chromoplast senescence Additionally almost all 389
the proteins categorized in lsquotransportrsquo and lsquoelectron transportATP synthesisrsquo classes showed 390
a dramatic increase in protein abundance at OMa stage Among them there were up to 14 391
ATP synthases and ATPADP carriers which were involved in energy supply (Supplemental 392
Table S6) These proteins underwent a dramatic and wide-ranging increase in protein 393
abundance suggesting that the ATP synthesis machinery was maintained at a good level 394
during chromoplast senescence The active supply of ATP might reflect the demand for 395
energy to ensure normal biological processes in the course of chromoplast senescence It is 396
well known that the ATP import or synthesis in non-green plastids is required for the 397
synthesis of several metabolites such as amino acids and carbohydrates (Neuhaus and Emes 398
2000) Consistently several proteins for amino acid metabolism were significantly increased 399
in abundance and proteins involved in the TCAorg for the supply of energy to the plastids 400
were also identified with a significant up-regulation By contrast some of the 28 down-401
regulated proteins are involved in major CHO metabolism hormone metabolism protein 402
degradation and protein synthesis Conceivably differential expression of so many plastid-403
localized proteins may directly or indirectly contribute to chromoplast senescence 404
Discussion 405
Two types of putative amylo-to-chromoplast transition in citrus flesh 406
Unlike flavedo of citrus fruits where chromoplasts are converted from chloroplasts (Eilati et 407
al 1975) chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits seem to be differentiated from amyloplasts 408
There are two putative different amylo-to-chromoplast patterns for citrus pulp each with its 409
own unique characteristics Figure 11 depicts a tentative model for the sequential 410
development of citrus flesh plastids The starch granules were degraded rapidly and 411
transformed into plastids with a few plastoglobules (Fig 11 A and B) In Arabidopsis the 412

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
19
2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

globules were documented to be swelled and separated from thylakoidal membranes (Ben-413
Shaul and Naftali 1969 Austin et al 2006) In our study the mechanism underlying globular 414
formation remains unknown as the association of these plastoglobules with membranes or 415
other related structural elements was not directly observed However we can not rule out the 416
possibility that the degradation of starch granules provides energy or metabolic precursors for 417
subsequent formation of globular elements as plastoglobules were generally found around the 418
degraded starch granules in the subsequent stage (Fig 11D) Since key biosynthetic enzymes 419
are targeted to plastoglobules (Ytterberg et al 2006 Schweiggert et al 2011 Davidi et al 420
2015) carotenoid biosynthesis is supposed to be initiated in these globules Additionally the 421
undulating lines in Figure 11C can also been interpreted as early carotenoid depositions in 422
tomato (Harris and Spurr 1969) In parallel with carotenoid accumulation tubular structures 423
apparently developed independently of the globular structure resulting in the formation of 424
tubular-globular chromoplasts (Fig 11 D and E) 425
The crystal remnants were accumulated in the chromoplasts of red tissues but the 426
additional formation of comparably large crystalloids was apparently induced by the 427
concomitant biosynthesis of lipid-soluble lycopene (Fig 11F Schweiggert et al 2011) There 428
are two hypotheses regarding the biogenesis of lycopene-rich structures that the structures 429
might (1) be associated with thylakoids system in the transformation of Lycopersicum 430
esculentum (Ben-Shaul and Naftali 1969) and Aglaonema commutatum (Knoth 1981) where 431
lycopene is tightly assembled into photosynthesis structures or (2) derive from plastid 432
membrane (Schweiggert et al 2011) Since such crystal remnants were frequently found to 433
be close to the plastid envelope (Fig 11F) and thylakoid structures appeared to be absent 434
within citrus flesh the lsquolycopenicrsquo membranes in red-fleshed lsquoHong Anliursquo might be derived 435
from the plastid envelop or other unknown structures specific to citrus flesh 436
Complex regulation of carotenoid metabolism during globular chromoplast 437
differentiation 438
Chromoplast development is accompanied by massive synthesis and accumulation of 439
carotenoids and is often regulated at the transcriptional level (Cazzonelli and Pogson 2010) 440

17
whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

20
(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

21
complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689

whereas the regulatory mechanism at the protein level is still poorly understood In this study 441
we found that carotenoid metabolism is co-ordinately regulated by both transcription and 442
protein levels (Fig 6 and Fig 12A) For example four members of the MEP pathway namely 443
DXR (Cs8g070201) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 24-cyclodiphosphate synthase (ISPF 444
Cs5g030501) hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (HDS Cs8g167002) and 445
hydroxymethylbutenyl 4-diphosphate reductase (HDR Cs8g070201) showed early or 446
continuous increase (plt005) in abundance during chromoplast differentiation coinciding 447
with the accumulation of isoprenoids and carotenoids Additionally the synthesis of 448
violaxanthin and lutein needs to be facilitated by HYD catalysis (Cazzonelli and Pogson 449
2010) In comparison with the significant increase of HYD transcriptional level during 450
chromoplast differentiation which may explain the large accumulation of violaxanthin and 451
lutein in globular chromoplasts we only identified a limited number of enzymes participating 452
in downstream carotenoid synthesis for instance HYD (Cs9g192702) and NCED5 453
(Cs2g032701) We therefore presume that HYD mainly plays a key role in the violaxanthin 454
biosynthesis at transcriptional level Consistently the expression of HYD promotes the 455
violaxanthin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds (Yu et al 2007) and citrus callus (Cao et al 456
2012) The relatively higher abundance of upstream pathway proteins led to the biosynthesis 457
of lycopene while the downstream enzyme proteins were present at low abundance or not 458
detected which may be important for gauging the metabolic flux into carotenoid synthesis 459
pathway Consistently the carotenoid-accumulation areas were formed as maturation 460
proceeded (Fig 5J) 461
Plastoglobule composition and formation within citrus flesh chromoplasts 462
A rapid increase in the number of plastoglobules is the most representative feature during 463
chromoplastogenesis in citrus flesh We therefore performed BLASTP of the citrus plastid 464
proteome against the list of proteins of the plastoglobules established by Lundquist et al 465
(2012) Among the 30 plastoglobule-localized proteins in Arabidopsis 24 were identified to 466
be citrus homologies 16 of which were quantified (Supplemental Table S7) Among the 16 467
quantified proteins 11 had a continuouslyearly increased expression (Fig 12B) including 468

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683

ABC1K1379 (activity of bc1complex kinases 1379) Fibrillin 24 (FBN24) Esterase 1 469
(Cs2g140901 Cs2g141101 Cs2g141201) Flavin reductase-related 2 (Cs2g036001) and 470
an unknown protein (Cs5g281301) 471
Among ABC1 kinases subfamily 6 proteins (ABC1K1 3 5 6 7 and 9) predicted to 472
localize in plastoglobules constitute the core components of the plastoglobule proteome in 473
chromoplasts of citrus flesh (Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case of 474
Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et al 2012) The AtABC1K7 mutant developed larger 475
plastoglobules and lipid composition of the chloroplast membrane when compared with wide-476
type Arabidopsis (Manara et al 2014 2015) Additionally ABC1K13 as a complex binds 477
with phosphorylated tocopherol cyclase to affect plastoquinone metabolism (Lundquist et al 478
2013 Martinis et al 2013 Manara et al 2014 Martinis et al 2014) Their double mutation 479
also leads to abnormal accumulation of plastoglobules in Arabidopsis The increase of 480
ABC1K1 3 and 7 in abundance during chromoplastogenesis suggests that they might 481
positively regulate plastoglobule development A previous study revealed that ABC1K9 482
might be co-expressed with FBNs and MEP enzymes (Lundquist et al 2012) suggesting that 483
the increase of ABC1K9 in abundance might play an essential role in plastoglobule 484
development and carotenoid metabolism In the present study we observed an early or 485
continuous increase in abundance of ABC1K1 3 7 and 9 during amylo-to-chromopalst 486
transition which confirms the speculation that these proteins may have distinct modulating 487
functions in plastogobule development in citrus 488
The FBN family is required for leaf or fruit development to regulate early generation or 489
extension of plastogobules (Lundquist et al 2012) In this study FBNs family were the most 490
abundant in chromoplast plastsoglobules accounting for 685 of total identified peptides 491
(Supplemental Fig S9) which is similar to the case in Arabidopsis chloroplasts (Lundquist et 492
al 2012) It is not surprising to find an increasing abundance of FBN24 in our study during 493
chromoplast differentiation confirming its role in the structural development of 494
plasotogobules (Singh and McNellis 2011) FBN1 has been well established in several 495
studies with a positive regulatory role in plastoglobule development (Singh and McNellis 496
httpsplantphysiolorgDownloaded on November 22 2020 - Published by Copyright (c) 2020 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682

2011) In our proteomic analysis it is noteworthy that FBN1 only showed a slight increase 497
(plt005) in abundance from MG to Br stages followed by a slight decrease from Br to OMa 498
stages (plt005) This change tendency was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of FBN1 499
(Fig 8) which is also in line with the variation in the number of plastoglobules from Br to 500
OMa stages However the fold-change in protein abundance was much lower than the rapid 501
increase in the number of plastoglobules from MG to Br stages To explain this discrepancy 502
we conducted another series of immunoblotting analyses by including two earlier stages of 503
fruit development (Supplemental Fig S10) which confirmed the tendency of a slight increase 504
in abundance from MG to Br stages (Fig 8) More importantly the abundance of FBN1 was 505
enhanced rapidly from 90 DAF to 120 DAF These data indicate that FBN1 expression is 506
sensitive at earlier stages when the average number of plastoglobules per plastid increased 507
from 0 to about 32 and the subsequent slowdown of the increase tendency might be due to 508
the dull response of proteins to developmental conditions or environmental stresses on the 509
basis of the pre-existing plastoglobules or regulation via post-translational modification such 510
as protein phosphorylation (Zeng et al 2014) In this study we selected MG stage as the first 511
stage for plastid differentiation analysis for two reasons (1) the fruit at MG stage gains the 512
capacity to ripen and its plastid ultrastructure shows apparent difference from that in the 513
subsequent maturation stages (2) the accumulation of high-density starches in amyloplasts at 514
an earlier stage makes it difficult to use the same density gradient centrifugation to purify 515
plastids Taken together our data concerning these plastoglobule-localized proteins suggest 516
that they have important and exclusive functions in regulating the differentiation of 517
chromoplasts in the flesh of citrus fruits 518
Stability in protein import loss of ribosome assembly and build-up of chromoplast 519
proteases 520
Translocation of proteins into plastids is of importance for chromoplast biogenesis (Egea et 521
al 2010) Here we identified nearly all the elements of the protein import machinery and 522
classified them into lsquoprotein targetingrsquo which showed a constant abundance during amylo-to-523
chromoplast transition (Supplemental Table S5) Among these elements TOC159 which is 524
tightly bound to the transit peptides serves as receptors for chloroplast-destined preproteins 525

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683

(Aronsson and Jarvis 2008) and is thought to interact with casein kinase 2 to affect the 526
chromoplast biogenesis (Agne et al 2010 Zeng et al 2014) TOC75 is the main pore of the 527
TOC complex deeply embedded within the outer membrane forming a translocation channel 528
(Jarvis 2008) Additionally TIC11040 major components of TIC complex play a critical 529
role in protein import (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez 2013) These four proteins remained unchanged 530
in abundance among which TIC40 was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis The constant 531
protein abundance of TOCTIC complex suggests the continuous import of nuclear-encoded 532
proteins during chromoplast differentiation 533
Consistent with a previous finding in chloro-to-chromoplast transition in tomato (Barsan 534
et al 2012) the translation machinery of the citrus chromoplast underwent a great loss of 535
efficiency with a strong decrease in abundance of ribosomal proteins of both the chloroplast-536
encoded small 30S subunit and the large 50S subunit complexes as well as those of nuclear-537
encoded small 40S subunit and the larger 60S subunit during chromoplast differentiation (Fig 538
12C) This finding is also in agreement with the gradual down-regulation of plastid translation 539
during tomato chromoplast differentiation observed by Kahlau and Bock (2008) These 540
results indicate that there probably exists a conservative property of translation machinery in 541
chromoplast biogenesis which arises not only from non-photosynthetic plastids like 542
amyloplasts but also from photosynthetic chloroplasts 543
Plastids undergo drastic changes morphologically and physiologically at different 544
developmental stages and under different environmental conditions (Egea et al 2010) 545
Keeping a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradationprocessing is crucial for 546
accomplishing structurally dynamic changes of plastids and maintaining their homeostasis 547
(Sakamoto 2006) A set of caseinolytic peptidase (Clp) proteases increased in abundance 548
during chromoplast differentiation including 5 lsquocontinuous increasersquo 15 lsquoearly increasersquo and 549
3 lsquolate increasersquo proteins while only 3 proteins showed the lsquodecreasingrsquo pattern (Fig 12D and 550
Supplemental Table S5) These Clp proteases formed a chaperone complex to drive the 551
import of proteins into the plastids cleave the transit peptide and recycle plastid components 552
In Arabidopsis knocking out most members of the Clp proteases family results in reduced 553
plant growth with pale-green or variegated leaf phenotype indicating the crucial role of Clp 554

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

were harvested at the National Centre of Citrus Breeding located at Huazhong Agricultural 602
University Wuhan China Fruits of lsquoHong Anliursquo and lsquoAnliursquo were collected at six 603
maturation stages after careful selection (1) IMG (immature green stage 90 days after 604
flowering (DAF)) (2) MG (mature green stage 140 DAF) at which fruit nearly reaches full 605
size with green peel and without pigment accumulation in the flesh (3) Br (colour breaker 606
stage 170 DAF) at which fruit is characterized by a change in colour from green to a bit 607
orange in peel and a bit red in flesh (4) Ma (maturation stage 200 DAF) at which fruit has a 608
red colour in the whole flesh and is harvested 30 days after Br (5) FMa (full maturation stage 609
230 DAF) (6) OMa (over-maturation stage 260 DAF) at which fruit is at over- maturation 610
stage and stored on-tree under a low temperature in winter China Fruits at each stage were 611
harvested from three different trees and 10 representative fruits were harvested from each 612

then gently separated into segment membrane sac membrane and juice followed by freezing 614
in liquid nitrogen for subsequent extraction of carotenoids and RNA Fruits of lsquoHong Anliursquo 615
at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631
(httprsbwebnihgovij) 632
Carotenoid profile analysis 633
Carotenoid extraction and analysis using reversed-phase high performance liquid 634
chromatography (RP-HPLC) were conducted as previously described (Cao et al 2012) 635
Approximately 4 g of citrus fruit fresh weight (FW) was extracted separately from the 636
segment membrane sac membrane and juice from lsquoAnliursquo and lsquoHong Anliursquo at the fully 637
maturation stage The carotenoids were identified by their characteristic absorption spectra 638
and typical retention time based on the literature and standards from CaroNature Co (Bern 639
Switzerland) The output data were obtained from three experiment replicates 640

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724

Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

complex in chloroplast development (Meinke et al 2008 Liu et al 2010 Olinares et al 555
2011) Previous studies have revealed that the Clp complex one of the prominent complexes 556
increases in abundance during the transition from proplastids or etioplasts into chloroplasts 557
(Kanervo et al 2008 Majeran et al 2010) Our study shows that the proteins involved in 558
protein degradation are among the proteins of the highest abundance during amylo-to-559
chromoplast transition while an apparent increasing tendency in protein abundance of Clp 560
complex suggests that the machinery of protein degradation or processing during chromoplast 561
differentiation might have distinct modulating functions that are conserved during the 562
biogenesis of both chloroplasts and chromoplasts 563
The plastid proteome of citrus flesh also consists of a number of membrane-bound ATP-564
dependent Zn-metallo proteases (FtsH1 Cs3g14380 FtsH2 Cs2g15180 FtsH5 Cs3g27030 565
FtsH7 Cs8g19900 FtsH11 Cs9g18420 FtsH12 orange11t03252 FtsHi1 Cs5g02060 566
FtsHi2 Cs1g15540 FtsHi3 Cs7g14690) (Supplemental Table S5) Several FtsH proteins 567
such as FtsH1 2 and 5 are key components of thylakoid which has been well demonstrated 568
by previous studies (Zaltsman et al 2005 Sakamoto 2006 Kato and Sakamoto 2010) Since 569
citrus flesh lacks chloroplasts and cannot perform photosynthesis throughout the entire 570
maturation stage it is reasonable to speculate that these proteins are localized in other 571
subcellular structures within plastids rather than thylakoids Therefore the identification of 572
these proteins in non-photosynthetic plastids may imply a basic role other than photosynthesis 573
Additionally another type of ATP-independent metalloprotease present in the citrus flesh 574
plastid proteome such as stromal pre-sequence proteases (PreP2 Cs8g057201) and M24 575
peptidase (Cs4g135101) has been described as necessary for plastid development 576
(Cederholm et al 2009 Kmiec and Glaser 2012) The continuous increase of PreP2 and 577
M24 peptidase probably contributed to chromoplast differentiation by means of the removal 578
and degradation of transit peptides within the plastids during amylo-to-chromoplast transition 579
In summary our data suggest that chromoplast differentiation in citrus flesh is correlated not 580
only with the repression of protein synthesis and promotion of protein degradationprocessing 581
but also with the stable maintenance of protein import via the TOCTIC complex These 582
dynamic changes are associated with the remodelling of protein systems and may have a 583

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

then gently separated into segment membrane sac membrane and juice followed by freezing 614
in liquid nitrogen for subsequent extraction of carotenoids and RNA Fruits of lsquoHong Anliursquo 615
at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631

western blot analysis 658
Protein preparation digestion and iTRAQ labelling 659
The pooled plastids were treated with acetone and the precipitated proteins were resuspended 660
by adding approximately 500 μL STD buffer (4 SDS 1 mM DTT 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 661
80 containing cocktail for proteases (EDTA-free Roche)) After 5 min incubation in boiling 662
water the homogenate was sonicated on ice The crude extract was then incubated in boiling 663
water again and clarified by centrifugation at 14000timesg for 40 min at 25 oC before the 664
supernatant was collected The protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic 665
acid protein assay kit (BCA Beyotime China) 666
Protein digestion was performed based on the FASP-method as previous description 667
(Wiśniewski et al 2009) and the resulting peptide mixtures were labelled with the 8-plex 668

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

enzyme with the number of missed cleavages up to 2 carbamidomethyl cysteine residues 726
as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

crucial role in governing chromoplast biogenesis and differentiation 584
Conclusions 585
In this study we examined two tissue-specific chromoplast types converted from amyloplasts 586
which are associated with the composition of carotenoids in sweet orange Subsequently we 587
used iTRAQ-based high-throughput proteomics to construct an inventory of the proteins 588
present at different fruit maturation stages in sweet orange during plastid differentiation 589
which expands the knowledge of the plant plastid proteome available so far Additionally our 590
results highlight several aspects of the regulation of global reorganization during chromoplast 591
differentiation The change pattern in protein abundance reported here is partially in 592
agreement with the chromoplast differentiation in tomato (Barsan et al 2012) but shows 593
great differences with the proplastidsetioplast-to-chloroplast transition in maizerice 594
(Kleffmann et al 2007 Majeran et al 2010) The overall findings from this research provide 595
useful information about the chromoplast biogenesis in sweet orange flesh and facilitate a 596
better understanding of its chromoplast differentiation and senescence 597

then gently separated into segment membrane sac membrane and juice followed by freezing 614
in liquid nitrogen for subsequent extraction of carotenoids and RNA Fruits of lsquoHong Anliursquo 615
at MG Br Ma and OMa stage were sampled from three selected trees on each harvest day 616
with 40 representative fruits from each tree thus a total of 120 fruits per stage were harvested 617
and aliquoted into three portions for immediate chromoplast purification as previously 618
described (Zeng et al 2014) Plastids of flesh were prepared in three biological replicates 619
followed by immediate freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -80oC until use 620
Microscopy observation and analysis 621
The segment membrane and sac membrane were carefully cut into small slices using a frozen 622
sectioning technique (Leica CM1900 Germany) A drop of juice was gently placed onto 623
microscope slides These fresh tissues were immediately observed under a microscope (BX61 624
Olympus) equipped with a DP70 camera to compare the structural characteristics of 625
chromoplasts 626
An aliquot of the same segment membrane and sac membrane was also used for 627
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis The plastids were enriched from the juice 628
using gradient centrifugation as described in Zeng et al (2014) Samples for TEM analysis 629
were fixed stained and observed as previous description (Zeng et al 2011) The diameter of 630
the plastids was measured by (major axis + minor axis)2 using Image J software 631
(httprsbwebnihgovij) 632
Carotenoid profile analysis 633
Carotenoid extraction and analysis using reversed-phase high performance liquid 634
chromatography (RP-HPLC) were conducted as previously described (Cao et al 2012) 635
Approximately 4 g of citrus fruit fresh weight (FW) was extracted separately from the 636
segment membrane sac membrane and juice from lsquoAnliursquo and lsquoHong Anliursquo at the fully 637
maturation stage The carotenoids were identified by their characteristic absorption spectra 638
and typical retention time based on the literature and standards from CaroNature Co (Bern 639
Switzerland) The output data were obtained from three experiment replicates 640

12 SDS-PAGE and detection by antibodies were performed as described in Zeng et al 656
(2011) or Ling et al(2012) At least two independent replicates were conducted for each 657
western blot analysis 658
Protein preparation digestion and iTRAQ labelling 659
The pooled plastids were treated with acetone and the precipitated proteins were resuspended 660
by adding approximately 500 μL STD buffer (4 SDS 1 mM DTT 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 661
80 containing cocktail for proteases (EDTA-free Roche)) After 5 min incubation in boiling 662
water the homogenate was sonicated on ice The crude extract was then incubated in boiling 663
water again and clarified by centrifugation at 14000timesg for 40 min at 25 oC before the 664
supernatant was collected The protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic 665
acid protein assay kit (BCA Beyotime China) 666
Protein digestion was performed based on the FASP-method as previous description 667
(Wiśniewski et al 2009) and the resulting peptide mixtures were labelled with the 8-plex 668

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724

Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687

reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722

Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751

iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) reagent by following the 669
manufacturerrsquos instructions (Applied Biosystems) 80 μg of proteins from each sample was 670
pooled as internal standard (IS) Briefly 250 μg of proteins for each sample (including IS) 671
was incorporated into 30 μL STD (4 SDS 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80 100 mM DTT) The 672
UA buffer (8 M Urea 150 mM Tris-HCl pH 80) was used to remove DTT detergent and 673
other low-molecular-weight components by repeated ultrafiltration (Microcon units 30 kDa) 674
Next the samples were incubated in darkness for 30 min by adding 100 μL 50 mM 675
iodoacetamide into UA buffer to block the reduced cysteine residues The filters were washed 676
with 100 μL UA buffer three times followed by two washes with 100 μL DS buffer (50 mM 677
triethylammoniumbicarbonate pH 85) Finally the protein suspension was digested 678
overnight at 37 degC with 6 μg trypsin (Promega) dissolved in 40 μL DS buffer and the 679
resulting peptides were collected as a filtrate The peptide content was estimated by UV light 680
spectral density at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 11 of 01 (gL) solution that 681
was calculated on the basis of the frequency of tryptophan and tyrosine in vertebrate proteins 682
Two iTRAQ Reagent 8-plex kits (Applied Biosystems) were used to label the peptide 683
samples (each 25 μg) of plastids isolated at each developmental stage according to 684
manufacturers specifications (Fig 7) Three biological replicates were iTRAQ-labelled for 685
MG Br Ma and OMa stages as well as one technological replicate for MG and Br stages 686
Protein samples of each stage were equally mixed as internal standard (IS) and then labelled 687
with 113 tag MG-3_E2_115 and Br-1_E1_117 were technological replicates for MG-688
4_E2_116 and Br-2_E1_121 respectively 689
Sample fractionation using SCX chromatography 690
Prior to LC-MSMS analysis peptides were purified from excess labelling reagent by strong 691
cation exchange (SCX) chromatography using AKTA Purifier 100 (GE Healthcare) Peptides 692
were dried in a vacuum concentrator and then dissolved in 2 mL buffer A (10 mM KH2PO4 in 693
25 acetonitrile (ACN) pH 30) to reconstitute and acidify the dried peptide mixtures which 694
were subsequently loaded onto a Polysμlfoethyl 46times100 mm column (5 microm 200Aring 695
PolyLCInc Maryland USA) at a flow rate of 1 mLmin A suitable gradient elution (0-696
10 for 32 min 10-20 for 10 min 20-45 for 15 min and 45-100 for 13 min) was 697

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

enzyme with the number of missed cleavages up to 2 carbamidomethyl cysteine residues 726
as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733
(Zeng et al 2014 Zheng et al 2014) 734
Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

applied to separate the peptides at a flow rate of 1mLmin with buffer B (10 mM KH2PO4 698
500 mM KCl in 25 ACN pH 30) Eluted peptides were collected and desalted by an offline 699
fraction collector Finally a total of 10 sample pools including 30 collected fractions were 700
desalted on C18 Cartridges (Empore SPE Cartridges (standard density) bed ID 7 mm 701
volume 3 mL Sigma) Each final fraction was concentrated by a vacuum concentrator and 702
reconstituted in 40 microL of 01 (vv) trifluoroacetic acid All samples were stored at -80oC for 703
LC-MSMS analysis 704
LC-MSMS analysis by Q Exactive 705
A nanoflow HPLC instrument (Easy nLC ProxeonBiosystems now Thermo Fisher Scientific) 706
was coupled on-line to a Q Exactive mass spectrometer The peptide mixture (5 μg) was 707
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column (Thermo Scientific Easy Column 10 cm long 75 708
μm inner diameter 3 μm resin) in buffer A (01 Formic acid) and separated with a linear 709
gradient of buffer B (01 Formic acid and 80 ACN) at a flow rate of 250 nLmin 710
controlled by IntelliFlow technology over 140 min 711
MS data were acquired using a data-dependent ldquotop10rdquo method dynamically choosing 712
the most abundant precursor ions from the survey scan (mass range300-1800 mz) for HCD 713
fragmentation Determination of the target value was based on predictive Automatic Gain 714
Control (pAGC) Dynamic exclusion duration was 60 s Survey scans were acquired at a 715
resolution of 70000 at mz 200 and resolution for HCD spectra was set to 17500 at mz 200 716
Normalized collision energy was 27 eV and the under fill ratio which specifies the minimum 717
percentage of the target value likely to be reached at maximum fill time was defined as 01 718
The instrument was run with peptide recognition mode enabled 719
MSMS spectra were searched using MASCOT engine (Matrix science London UK 720
version 22) embedded into Proteome Discoverer 13 (Thermo Electron San Jose CA) 721
against a non-redundant Protein Index C sinensis protein database (Huazhong Agricultural 722
University httpcitrushzaueducn) and the proteome sequences predicted from the 723
chloroplastic genome (accession no NC_008334) Proteins were identified with the following 724
parameters peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance of 01 Da trypsin 725

as fixed modification and oxidation of methionine residues as variable modification 727
Software Proteomics Tools (version 316) was used to further process the MASCOT search 728
results of each SCX elution The BuildSummary program was used for assembling protein 729
identifications according to a target-decoy in shotgun proteomics All reported data were 730
based on 99 confidence intervals for protein identification as determined by false discovery 731
rate (FDR) le1 FDR=N (decoy)2 (N (decoy) + N (target)) which is a widespread 732
normalization process and considered as a standard way to preprocess data in proteomics 733

Search against existing databases functional classification targeting predictions and 735
curation 736
Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743
httpwwwuniprotorg) Predictions of subcellular localization were carried out using 744
TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
Differential abundance analysis 752
The final ratios of proteins were normalized by the median average protein ratio of the equal 753

mix of different labelled samples Only proteins detected in all runs (every biological 754
replicate) were included in the data set Data were expressed as the mean plusmn SD and evaluated 755
by Studentrsquos t-test using Microsoft Excel Software (ldquoTTESTrdquo function (two tailed)) The 756
trends of changes in abundance of proteins between stages were calculated with a 5 757
significance level and referred to as 0 for no change -1 for decrease and +1 for increase 758

Identified proteins were functionally classified according to Mapman 737
(httpmapmangabipdorgwebguesthome) using annotations retrieved from databases and 738
manual curation based on PPDB (httpppdbtccornelledu) Homologies of the detected 739
proteins were searched against five plastidial databases (i) two databases specific to plastids 740
(Plprot httpwwwplprotethzch AT_CHLORO httpwwwgrenobleprabifrat_chloro) 741
and (ii) three databases comprising plastidial subsets (SUBA 742
httpsubaplantenergyuwaeduau PPDB httpppdbtccornelledu Uniprot 743

TargetP (httpwwwcbsdtudkservicesTargetP) Predotar 745
(httpurgiversaillesinrafrpredotarpredotarhtml) and WoLF PSORT 746
(httpwolfpsortseqcbrcjp) Those proteins were tentatively considered to be plastid 747
proteins if they met at least one of the following two criteria (i) the protein candidates were 748
predicted to localize in plastids by at least one of the three web programs (Wolf PSORT 749
TargetP and Predotar) and (ii) the protein candidates were present in at least two of the five 750
databases mentioned above (Plprot AT_CHLORO SUBA PPDB and Uniprot) 751
