To gain insight into plant responses to arsenic, the effect of arsenic exposure on maize (Zea mays L.) root proteome has been examined. Maize seedlings were fed hydroponically with 300 mu M sodium arsenate or 250 mu M sodium arsenite for 24 h, and changes in differentially displayed proteins were studied by two-dimensional electrophoresis and digital image analysis. About 10% of total detected maize root proteins (67 out of 700) were up- or down-regulated by arsenic, among which 20 were selected as being quite reproducibly affected by the metalloid. These were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and 11 of them could be identified by comparing their peptide mass fingerprints against protein- and expressed sequence tag-databases. The set of identified maize root proteins highly responsive to arsenic exposure included a major and functionally homogeneous group of seven enzymes involved in cellular homeostasis for redox perturbation (e.g., three superoxide dismutases, two glutathione peroxidases, one peroxiredoxin, and one p-benzoquinone reductase) besides four additional, functionally heterogeneous, proteins (e.g., ATP synthase, succinyl-CoA synthetase, cytochrome P450 and guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta subunit). These findings strongly suggest that the induction of oxidative stress is a main process underlying arsenic toxicity in plants. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
