The laterally heterogeneous plant plasma membrane (PM) is organized into finely controlled specialized areas that include membrane-ordered domains. Recently, the spatial distribution of such domains within the PM has been iden- tified as playing a key role in cell responses to environmental challenges. To examine membrane order at a local level, BY-2 tobacco suspension cell PMs were labelled with an environment-sensitive probe (di-4-ANEPPDHQ). Four experimental models were compared to identify mechanisms and cell components involved in short-term (1 h) main- tenance of the ordered domain organization in steady-state cell PMs: modulation of the cytoskeleton or the cell wall integrity of tobacco BY-2 cells; and formation of giant vesicles using either a lipid mixture of tobacco BY-2 cell PMs or the original lipid and protein combinations of the tobacco BY-2 cell PM. Whilst inhibiting phosphorylation or disrupt- ing either the cytoskeleton or the cell wall had no observable effects, we found that lipids and proteins significantly modified both the abundance and spatial distribution of ordered domains. This indicates the involvement of intrinsic membrane components in the local physical state of the plant PM. Our findings support a major role for the ‘lipid raft’ model, defined as the sterol-dependent ordered assemblies of specific lipids and proteins in plant PM organization.

The same parameters were also measured in model scale. Furthermore, various proteins have also shown a grouped membranes including giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) distribution (about 70 nm in size) in tobacco leaf (Raffaele composed of lipids extracted from the tobacco PM, and et al., 2009), tobacco BY-2 suspension (Noirot et al., 2014), giant vesicles of native PMs (GVPMs) from tobacco cells and Arabidopsis (Li et al., 2012) cells. Plant cell PMs are thus (see Fig. 1 for rationale).

Our results suggest (MβCD)-induced sterol depletion (Vereb et al., 2000; Raffaele that PM components appear to act together to regulate plant et al., 2009), which suggests sterol-driven formation of these PM heterogeneity, whilst neither the cytoskeleton nor the protein-enriched domains.

Bright Yellow-2) cells were grown in Murashige and Skoog (MS) modified medium (basal salt mixture, –1 M0221, Duchefa) at pH 5.6, supplemented with 1 mg l thiamine-HCl, –1 –1 0.2 mg l 2,4 dichlorophenylacetic acid, 100 mg l myo-inositol, 30 g –1 –1 –1 l sucrose, 200 mg l KH PO , and 2 g l MES. Cell suspensions were 2 4 –2 –1 maintained under continuous light conditions (200 µE m s ) on a rotary shaker (140 rpm) and diluted (4:80) weekly into fresh medium. Chemicals treatments BY-2 cells were equilibrated according to Gerbeau-Pissot et al. (2014). After a 2-h cell incubation period, concentrated stock solutions (1000× in DMSO) of the cytoskeleton inhibitors cytochalasin D, latrunculin B, nocodazole, and oryzalin (Sigma-Aldrich), were individually added to cell suspensions at a final concentration of 50 µM, 10 µM, 20 µM, and 10 µM, respectively. Control cells were incubated with the same dilu- tion of DMSO. Cells were treated for 1 h on a rotary shaker (120 rpm) at 25 °C before observation. Cells were subsequently plasmolysed in I2 (0.5 mM CaCl , 0.5 mM K SO , and 2 mM MES, pH 5.9) containing 2 2 4 400 mM mannitol (instead of 175 mM used by Gerbeau-Pissot et al., 2014) for several minutes before observation. Staurosporine (Sigma- Aldrich) was added to the cell suspension from concentrated stock solu- tions in DMSO, taking care not to exceed the final DMSO concentration (0.5 % v/v). Protoplast preparation and cell wall regeneration The protoplast preparation protocol was adapted from (Zaban et al., 2013). All steps were performed in sterile conditions. The BY-2 cells were collected and centrifuged at 100 g. Cells were washed in 0.4 M mannitol at pH 5.5 and centrifuged again, then resuspended in an enzymatic solu- tion (Pectolyase Y23 0.1 % w/v, cellulose Onozuka RS 1 % w/v in 0.4 M mannitol at pH 5.5) and digested for 4–5 h at 25 °C, under shaking at 65 rpm in Petri dishes. Protoplasts were harvested after centrifugation (500 g for 5 min) and washed three times in FMS wash medium (4.3 g –1 –1 –1 –1 l MS salts, 100 mg l myo-inositol, 0.5 mg l nicotinic acid, 0.5 mg l –1 –1 pyridoxine-HCl, 0.1 mg l thiamine, 10 g l sucrose in 0.25 M man- nitol, pH 5.8). For cell wall regeneration, protoplasts were transferred to –1 FMS-store medium (FMS with 0.1 mg l 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and –1 1 mg ml benzylaminopurin) and incubated at 26 °C in the dark, with shaking in Petri dishes. Protoplasts were observed at 0, 24 h, 48 h, and 5 d after digestion. Preparation of GUVs Giant unilamellar vesicles (larger than 10µm) were prepared as follows. Tobacco PM isolation PM fractions were obtained from BY-2 cells by membrane partitioning in an aqueous polymer two-phase system with polyethylene glycol 3350/ dextran T-500 (6.6% each), according to Mongrand et al.

Fluorescence measurements were performed using a Fluorolog-3 FL3-211 spectrometer (Jobin-Yvon, Horiba Group). The emission spec- trum was monitored by one photomultiplier (520–700 nm). A xenon arc lamp (488 nm) was used as the light source. Data acquisitions were per- formed using the Datamax software (Jobin-Yvon/Thermo Galactic, Inc.). Statistical tests Statistical analyses were based on non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney), since we observed that our data exhibited a non-Gaussian distribution. Fig. 2.

Furthermore, the absence of a direct effect of the cell wall suggests that there is no direct contribution from cell wall–PM connections on the regulation of PM order. A characterization of the abundance of ordered domains was then performed, although the spherical shape of protoplasts limited the size of the tangential area that could be analysed (10–100 µm ). No significant difference was observed between the freshly prepared protoplasts and protoplasts in which the cell wall had been regenerated (Fig. 5C), with both conditions displaying the same distribution of RGR values. Live ratiomet- ric imaging also indicated a similar size for ordered domains in protoplasts, before and after cell wall regeneration (Fig. 5D). Thus, the cell wall does not seem to influence the spatial dis- tribution of ordered domains within the tobacco PM. Production of giant vesicles from tobacco PMs reveals the involvement of lipids and proteins in the control of the spatial distribution of ordered domains The data presented above highlight the possibility of a crucial role for intrinsic PM components with regards to PM-ordered domains. To assess the involvement of a wide diversity of PM lipids in the regulation of membrane order, we prepared giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) using a mixture of the different classes of lipids in their relative proportions as found in native BY-2 cell PMs. A careful lipidomic analysis highlighted the Fig. 4.

Influence of the cell wall on PM order of BY-2 protoplasts. (A) Cell morphology (differential interference contrast, DIC) and cellulose deposition (fluorescence imaging after calcofluor-white coloration) were analysed for protoplasts, either freshly prepared (3 h) or after cell wall regeneration (1 d after protoplast preparation). (B–D) Confocal microscopy was used to characterize di-4-ANEPPDHQ-labelled protoplasts (3 µM, 2 min), either freshly prepared (FP) or after cell wall regeneration (PCW). (B) Global membrane order was quantified using the red-to-green membrane fluorescence ratio (RGM, =I /I ). (C) Local membrane order was estimated in each region of interest (ROI) of the fluorescent PM, and the distribution of RGM values of 660 550 individual ROIs of corresponding PMs (RGR) is shown. The x-axis corresponds to the class of RGR values, and only the maximal value of each class is indicated on the graph. The y-axis corresponds to the ROI percentage of each class.

Data are means (±SD), n>66 cells from five independent experiments. Fig. 6. Influence of lipids and proteins on the global and local order of tobacco PMs. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were produced by mixing extracts of purified lipid classes according to their relative amounts within the membrane (phospholipids/phytosphingolipids/phytosterols: 4/4/1.5 w/w/w) or by fusing isolated PM vesicles (giant vesicles of native plasma membrane, GVPMs). Vesicles were labelled with di-4-ANEPPDHQ (3 µM, 2 min). (A) Transverse (top) and tangential (below) views of fluorescent vesicles were made using confocal microscopy (excitation at 488 nm; emission corresponds to the sum of fluorescence intensities acquired in a 520–680 nm band-pass) of GUVs and GVPMs. (B) The red-to-green fluorescence ratio (RGM, =I /I ) of fluorescent vesicles was measured using confocal microscopy (dividing the red, 545–565 nm, by the green, 635–655 nm, emission band- 660 550 passes). Data are means (±SD), n>24 experiments; significant difference: *P<0.05. (C) Individual regions of interest (ROIs, 300 × 300 nm) of the surface of fluorescent vesicles were classified according to their RGM values (i.e. giving RGR values). The RGR distribution of a representative GUV composed of a PM lipid mixture is compared to the distribution of GVPMs. The x-axis represents the class of RGR values; only the maximal value of each class is indicated on the graph.
