Unconventional protein secretion (UPS) together with conventional protein secretion (CPS) is responsible for protein secretion in plants. We have previously identified a novel UPS pathway in plants, which is mediated by exocyst-positive organelle-EXPO. Here, we describe detailed protocols to study UPS in plants by using Arabidopsis protoplasts or transgenic suspension cells, expressing the EXPO marker Exo70E2-XFP, as materials. Via drug and osmotic treatment plus secretion assay, we illustrate several major methods to analyze EXPO-mediated UPS in plant cells, which also supplys mining tools for similar study.
非常规蛋白质分泌(UPS)与常规蛋白质分泌(CPS)共同负责植物中的蛋白质分泌。我们之前在植物中鉴定出了一条新的UPS途径,该途径由外泌体阳性细胞器EXPO介导。在这里,我们描述了详细的实验方案,以拟南芥原生质体或表达EXPO标记Exo70E2-XFP的转基因悬浮细胞为材料,研究植物中的UPS。通过药物和渗透处理以及分泌测定,我们阐述了几种分析植物细胞中EXPO介导的UPS的主要方法,这些方法也为类似研究提供了挖掘工具。
