12 Supplemental Results N, S and amino acid metabolism shows distinct developmental and differentiation patterns Assimilation of nitrogen starts with uptake of nitrate (NO - 3 ) through the vascular system, followed by a 2-step reduction into ammonium (NH + 4 ) by cytosolic nitrate reductase (NR) leading to nitrite, and further reduction in the chloroplast by nitrite reductase (NiR) to ammonium (NH + 4 ). NH + 4 is also produced in the mitochondria by glycine dehydrogenase (GDH) during conversion of Glu to 2-oxoglutarate (Supplemental Figure 7) and during photorespiration through conversion of Gly to Ser by Gly decarboxylase (GDC). The NH + 4 is primarily used in the synthesis of Gln in the glutamine synthase 2/glutamate synthase (GS2/GOGAT) cycle and in the synthesis of Arg (Supplemental Figure 7) in plastids. A second GS (GS1) is non-plastidic and belonged to cluster II-1. Glu is used to generate Asp, catalyzed by the aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), represented by enzymes in different subcellular compartments, with the most abundant AAT in the plastid. NiR and Fd-GOGAT belonged to cluster II-3c, whereas GS2 and AAT belonged to cluster II-3d, indicative of increase in expression from base to tip, following the same expression pattern as the build-up of the photosynthetic light reaction. NiR and Fd- GOGAT were preferentially expressed in MSC indicative of the tight link to linear electron transport, whereas AAT clustered with MSC-enriched Calvin cycle enzymes and C4 malate shuttle enzymes PPDK and PEPC (II-3d). The expression levels of the Dit1 and Dit2 transporters were relatively low, but were most abundant in the tip. GDH was only observed in the BS strands and showed the same induction kinetics as the photorespiratory markers, GOX and 2PGP discussed above (Figure 1). In contrast, the two mitochondrial 2-oxoglutarate/malate transporters (DTC1,2) showed expression highest at the base (in cluster I-1) (Supplemental Figure 5B). However, the additional BS strand enrichment of DTC2 in the leaf tip, suggests a key function of DTC2 in the photorespiratory pathway late in leaf development (Supplemental -1 Figures 5,7). NRT1, a putative transporter of NO 3 (GRMZM2G86496_P1) in cluster I-1 showing pronounced peak expression ~2.5 cm from the base (Supplemental Figure 5). Upon uptake of sulfur as sulfate (SO 2-4 ) through the vascular system, SO 2-4 is imported into the chloroplast and first activated by ATP sulfurylase (ATPS) to adenosine 5 -phoshosulfate (APS) and then reduced in 2 steps by APS reductase (APR) and sulfite reductase (SiR) leading to sulfide (S 2- ) (Supplemental Figure 8). The envelope sulfate transporter (SULTR) (GRMZM2G395114_P1) with 1 predicted transmembrane domains was exclusively identified in the BS strands near the leaf tip. ATPS was part of cluster II-3e, showing near exclusive 12

13 Supplemental Results expression in the BS strand and clustering with the majority of the Calvin cycle enzymes and photosynthetic cyclic electron flow. Consistently, APR and SiR in the BS strand followed the same expression pattern as ATPS. Surprisingly, SiR showed also a high expression in the very base of the leaf, suggesting an additional role of SiR in the base of the leaf; possibly for sulfite reduction using OPPP as electron source. Sulfide is converted into cysteine, which is used for protein synthesis, to generate Met or the abundant redox regulator glutathione (see previous section Redox regulation and ROS defense ). Synthesis of Cys, Met and glutathione were distributed across multiple subcellular localizations. We identified three homologues of plastid localized cysteine synthase (OASTL); the two most abundant clustered to II-1a,b. Methionine is used in the SAM cycle to provide methyl groups (C1 metabolism) for various metabolic pathways, with a particular high demand for synthesis of nucleic acids and abundant structural components of the cell wall (eg lignin, choline, pectin) and chlorophyll. We quantified all enzymes of the SAM cycle (Supplemental Figure 8), as well as the inner envelope membrane transporter SAMT1 (Supplemental Figure 4B) which transports SAM from the cytosol into the plastid. Impaired function of SAMT1 led to decreased accumulation of prenyllipids and mainly affected the chlorophyll pathway in tobacco {Bouvier, 26 #12783}. SAM cycle proteins were members of cluster I-1 or I-2a,b, gradually decreasing along the developmental axis. Methionine synthase 1 was by far the most abundant protein. The high expression in the sink zone is consistent with high rates of synthesis of structural components such as cell walls and chlorophyll. Gly and Ser are synthesized by the plastid-localized phosphorylated pathway or by the mitochondrial glycolate pathway as part of photorespiration {Ho, 21 #12966}Bourgulgnon et al., 1999). The phosphorylated pathway utilizes 3-PGA (from glycolysis or Calvin cycle) to make Ser, which is then converted to Gly by the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT). We identified all three enzymes in the phosphorylated pathway for Ser biosynthesis, 3- PGA dehydrogenase (3-PGDH), 3-phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) and 3-phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP) (Supplemental Figure 8). The two most abundant isoforms of 3-PGDH and PSAT fell in cluster I-1, I-2a and I-2b, respectively. Both 3-PGDH and PSAT show decreased protein level towards the leaf tip, implying they may be more crucial for Ser biosynthesis in the sink tissue. Interestingly, the third enzyme PSP was only found in BS strands, with increased accumulation towards the tip, opposite to the trends of 3-PGDH and PSAT. The reason is unclear 13

14 Supplemental Results but it is consistent with transcript profiling for these three genes in Arabidopsis {Ho, 1999 #2497}. In photosynthetic tissues, Ser and Gly are predominantly metabolized in the peroxisomes and mitochondria as part of photorespiration. Three enzymes, GGAT, GDC and SHM1,4 (three isoforms) are responsible for Ser and Gly metabolism. GGAT level increased from sink to source tissue, as expected for enzymes involved in photorespiration. The level of the most abundant GDC isozyme increased from base to tip in BS strands, but the levels in total leaf and of other isozymes peaked at the transition zone. Similarly, SHMT level is highest in transition zone except for one of the isoforms (GRMZM2G135283_P2), which increased from base to tip in the BS strand. Since SHMT participate in both Ser biosynthesis pathways, it is not surprising that the expression profile of SHMT does not follow that of the other photorespiratory enzymes. We identified 28 enzymes in the plastid-localized biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids (Phe, Tyr, Trp) which included six out of seven enzymatic steps (1 proteins) in chorismate synthesis. Biosynthesis starts with the condensation of erythrose 4-phosphate (from OPPP/Calvin) and PEP, followed by the conversion of shikamate into chorismate, the branch point of Trp synthesis from Tyr and Phe synthesis. DHAP synthase, the first step was by far the most abundant step in chorismate synthesis and belonged to cluster I-1 (high expression in the base). Subsequent steps in chorismate synthesis were enriched in BS strands and increased from base to tip, probably because shikimate and chorismate are respectively important precursors for phenylpropapoid biosynthesis (for lignin) and vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) in PSI. Synthesis of the aromatic biosynthetic enzymes after chorismate decreased from base to tip. We identified four enzymes of the linear His pathway, albeit at relatively low levels, with expression levels decreasing from base to tip. Ala is synthesized from pyruvate and Glu outside the plastid by Ala aminotransferase and several isoforms belonged to clusters I-2b and II-1a, peaking quite broadly around the sink-source transition zone, with modest enrichment in the BS strands. We identified all enzymes involved in branched amino (Val, Leu and Ile) biosynthesis except one (dihydroxyacid dehydratase). Most of them belonged to cluster I, some to cluster II-1 and II-2, with highest expression level at the base or towards the transition zone. This is consistent with previous findings that this pathway is most active in young developing tissues (Keeler et al., 1993; Hofgen et al., 1995; Singh and Shaner, 1995). 14
