| Study Title | Development of plant extracts as substrates for untargeted transporter substrate identification in Xenopus oocytes |
| Study Summary | To expand chemical space of plant extracts for transporter assay, we prepared Arabidopsis seedlings extracts from liquid culture-grown plants subjected to biotic stress (flagellin 22 and chitin treatments to mimic bacterial and fungal infections) and abiotic stress (phosphorus and nitrogen starvation). Extracts from these treatments were characterized and subsequently combined into a single metabolic mixture to capture treatment-specific metabolites and expand the metabolic space. Toxicity testing of the pooled extract against X. laevis oocytes revealed that a liquid-liquid extraction protocol, facilitating lipophilic compound removal, outperformed single solvent extractions in terms of metabolite repeatability and reduced membrane permeation. Metabolite profiling of the final extract using pure standards, structural databases, and in-silico tools identified over 200 metabolites. Our study highlights the importance of developing metabolically diverse yet low-toxicity plant extracts as a critical step toward advancing plant transporter substrate screening. The optimized extraction protocol in combination with X. laevis oocyte assays, provide a robust platform for the functional characterization of plant transporters, paving the way for deeper insights into plant physiology and metabolism. |

| Project Title: | Development of plant extracts as substrates for untargeted transporter substrate identification in Xenopus oocytes |
| Project Type: | Research article |
| Project Summary: | Amongst the thousands of transport proteins constituting approximately 10% of coding sequences in a genome, only few have an assigned function. Heterologous expression of transporters in combination with the use of plant extracts as complex mixtures of substrates can be a powerful tool for untargeted identification of plant transporter functionality. In this study, we developed and evaluated four extraction protocols to generate Arabidopsis thaliana seedling extracts for use as substrate mixtures in high-throughput screening of transporters expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, a well-established system for transporter studies. Our study highlights the importance of developing metabolically diverse yet low-toxicity plant extracts as a critical step toward advancing plant transporter substrate screening. The optimized extraction protocol in combination with X. laevis oocyte assays provide a robust platform for the functional characterization of plant transporters, paving the way for deeper insights into plant physiology and metabolism. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004295 |
| Collection Summary: | Seeds from wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Colombia 0 (Col-0) were used for plant growing under no treatment and with biotic and abiotic stresses. 20 mg of seeds were sterilized with 1mL 70% ethanol containing 0.01 % Triton X-100 for 10 minutes. After incubation the solution was removed, and seeds were washed with 96% EtOH and left to dry in sterile conditions. 1 mL of sterile Milli-Q water was added to the tubes containing the seeds and left for stratification at 4°C for 4 days. A. thaliana wild-type Col-0 seeds (20 mg) were grown in 200 mL of sterile liquid Murashige-Skoog (MS) media in a 1-liter Erlenmeyer glass flask on orbital shakers with constant light (120 µE) and temperature (21°C) for a total of 16 days. The shaker speed was kept low (50 rpm) and was gradually increased to 80 rpm after three days, and to 100 rpm after seven days of growth. After 7 days, 50 mL of fresh MS medium was added to the seedlings. On day 14, the media were discarded, and seedlings were washed with 200 mL fresh media (either normal MS media or MS with nutrient deficiency). |

| Treatment Summary: | The macronutrient deprivation and biotic treatments took place as described previously with some modifications, and lasted for 2 days. In short:• For the untreated plants, 300 mL of fresh MS media were added. The MS media composition was the following: NH4NO3; 1650 mg/L, H3BO3; 6.2 mg/L, CaCl2; 332.2 mg/L, CoCl2*6H2O; 0.025 mg/L, CuSO4*5H2O; 0.025 mg/L, Na2-EDTA; 37.26 mg/L, FeSO4*7H2O; 27.8 mg/L, MgSO4; 180.7 mg/L, MnSO4*H2O; 16.9 mg/L, Na2MoO4*2H2O; 0.25 mg/L, KI; 0.83 mg/L, ZnSO4*7H2O; 8.6 mg/L, KNO3; 1900 mg/L, KH2PO4; 170 mg/L. • For the inorganic Nitrogen starvation, normal MS media were replaced by 300 mL inorganic Nitrogen (- N) deficient media with the following composition: H3BO3; 6.2 mg/L, CaCl2; 332.2 mg/L, CoCl2*6H2O; 0.025 mg/L, CuSO4*5H2O; 0.025 mg/L, Na2-EDTA; 37.26 mg/L, FeSO4*7H2O; 27.8 mg/L, MgSO4; 180.7 mg/L, MnSO4*H2O; 16.9 mg/L, Na2MoO4*2H2O; 0.25 mg/L, KI; 0.83 mg/L, ZnSO4*7H2O; 8.6 mg/L, KNO3; KH2PO4; 170 mg/L, K2SO4; 3278 mg/L. • For the inorganic Phosphorus starvation, normal MS media were replaced by 300 mL inorganic Phosphorus (- P) deficient media with the following composition: NH4NO3; 1650 mg/L, H3BO3; 6.2 mg/L, CaCl2; 332.2 mg/L, CoCl2*6H2O; 0.025 mg/L, CuSO4*5H2O; 0.025 mg/L, Na2-EDTA; 37.26 mg/L, FeSO4*7H2O; 27.8 mg/l, MgSO4; 180.7 mg/L, MnSO4*H2O; 16.9 mg/L, Na2MoO4*2H2O; 0.25 mg/l, KI; 0.83 mg/L, ZnSO4*7H2O; 8.6 mg/L, KNO3; 1900 mg/L. • For the flagellin-related experiments; normal MS media (recipe above) were replaced with 300 mL MS media spiked flagellin-22 in a final concentration of 1 µM flg22. The flagellin-containing media were generated by mixing flagellin 22 (Genscript) with MilliQ water. • For the chitin-related experiments; normal MS media were replaced with 300 mL MS media containing chitin in a final concentration of 0,1 mg/mL. The chitin solution was generated by dissolving chitin (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) in MilliQ water at 10 mg/mL with gentle shaking together with metal beads for a few hours at 4°C. The resuspended chitin solution was autoclaved at 121°C for 20 min. The solution was centrifuged (3000 rpm at 2 min) to obtain a clear supernatant, which was added to the flask to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004308 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | 2.3.1 Extraction Protocol A Freeze-dried plant material (100 mg.) was carefully weighed into different 5 mL Eppendorf tubes kept in dry ice and pre-filled with two 3mm diameter metal beads (Bearing Wearhouse). 1.5 mL of Acetonitrile/Methanol (1:1) spiked with 3 μM of internal standard Ampicillin (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) were added to the tube. The samples were vortexed for 30 seconds and subsequently extracted in a water bath sonicator (Vevor, Shanghai, China) at room temperature for 20 minutes at 60 Hz. The samples were then centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed into a 12-mL DURAN glass tube (Hounisen, Skanderborg, Denmark), and the plant material was re-extracted with 1 mL of Acetonitrile/Methanol/Water (4:4:2) spiked with 3 μM of Ampicillin using the same steps. After the second extraction, the supernatant was pooled with the previous one, and a final extraction using 1 mL of Methanol/Water (8:2) spiked with internal standard was conducted similarly. The third supernatant was pooled with the previous two, and the samples were filtered through 0.22 μm PVDF filter pre-conditioned with 300 μl of 50% methanol. After filtration, samples were dried overnight under a mild stream of nitrogen. 2.3.2 Extraction Protocol B Freeze-dried plant material (100 mg.) was carefully weighed into different 5 mL Eppendorf tubes kept in dry-ice and pre-filled with two 3mm diameter metal beads. 1.5 mL of Ethanol/Methanol (1:1) spiked with 3 μM of internal standard Ampicillin (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) were added to the tube. The samples were vortexed for 30 seconds and subsequently extracted in a water bath sonicator (Vevor, Shanghai, China) at room temperature for 20 minutes at 60 Hz. The samples were then centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed into a 12-mL DURAN glass tube (Hounisen, Skanderborg, Denmark), and the plant material was re-extracted with 1 mL of Ethanol/Methanol/Water (4:4:2) spiked with 3 μM of Ampicillin using the same steps. After the second extraction, the supernatant was pooled with the previous one, and a final extraction using 1 mL of Methanol/Water (8:2) spiked with internal standard was conducted similarly. The third supernatant was pooled with the previous two and the samples were filtered through 0.22 μm PVDF filter pre-conditioned with 300 μl of 50% methanol. After filtration, samples were dried overnight under a mild stream of nitrogen and stored at -80°C. 2.3.3 Extraction Protocol C Freeze-dried plant material (100 mg.) was carefully weighed into different 5 mL Eppendorf tubes kept in dry-ice and pre-filled with two 3mm diameter metal beads. 1.5 mL of Methanol/Water (8:2) spiked with 3 μM of internal standard were added to the tube.

The samples were then centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed into a 12-mL DURAN glass tube (Hounisen, Skanderborg, Denmark), and the plant material was re-extracted with 1 mL of the same solvent using the exact same steps. After the second extraction the supernatant was pooled with the previous one and a final re-extraction using 1 mL was conducted similarly. The third supernatant was pooled with the previous two, and the samples were filtered through 0.22 μm PVDF filter pre-conditioned with 300 μL of 50% methanol. After filtration, samples were dried overnight under a mild stream of nitrogen and stored at -80°C. 2.3.4 Extraction Protocol D Freeze-dried plant material (100 mg.) was carefully weighed into different 5 mL Eppendorf tubes kept in dry-ice and pre-filled with two 3mm diameter metal beads. 1.5 mL of Dichloromethane/Methanol (3:1) spiked with 3 μM of internal standard were added to the tube. The samples were vortexed for 30 seconds and subsequently extracted in a water bath sonicator (Vevor, Shanghai, China) at room temperature for 20 minutes at 60 Hz. The samples were then centrifuged at 4 °C at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed into a 12-mL DURAN glass tube (Hounisen, Skanderborg, Denmark), and the plant material was re-extracted with 1 mL of the same solvent using the exact same steps. After the second extraction the supernatant was pooled with the previous one and a final re-extraction using 1 mL of Methanol/Water (8:2) spiked with 3 μM of internal standard was performed. The third supernatant was pooled with the previous two into the 12 mL glass tubes and the samples were filtered through 0.22 μm PVDF filter pre-conditioned with 300 μl of 50% methanol followed by the addition of 1 mL of milliQ water to induce phase separation. The tube was left to stand in room temperature for 5 minutes and was subsequently centrifuged at 3000 g at 4°C for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the upper MeOH-H2O was removed carefully in a new 12-mL glass tube, while the lower DCM (Dichloromethane) phase was re-extracted with 1.5 mL of water with the same procedure as the previous step. After the second phase separation, the upper phase containing the secondary metabolites was pooled with the previous upper phase, and samples were dried overnight under a mild stream of nitrogen and stored at -80°C. |

| Chromatography Summary: | Pellets were resuspended in 2 mL of 50% MeOH. After 20-fold dilution samples were filtered with 0.22 μm syringe filters (PVDF) and subjected to analysis. Separation was achieved on a Dionex UltiMate 3000 Quaternary Rapid Separation UHPLC+ focused system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Germering, Germany) equipped with a ZORBAX Eclipse 1.8 μm XDB-C18 column (100 × 3 mm, 1.8 μm, Agilent). For eluting 0.05% (v/v) formic acid in H2O and 0.05% (v/v) formic acid in MeCN were employed as mobile phases A and B, respectively. Gradient conditions were as follows: 0.0−1.0 min 3% B; 1.0−14.0 min 3−20% B; 14.0−20.0 min 20−45% B, 20.0−24.5 min 45−100% B, 24.5−26.5 min 100% B, 26.5−26.55 min 100−3% B, and 26.55−30.0 min 3% B. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 400 μL/min and injection volume were set at 20 μL. The column temperature was maintained at 40°C. UV chromatograms were acquired at 229, 260, 310, and 345 nm. The UHPLC was coupled to a Compact micro-TOF-Q mass spectrometer (Bruker, Bremen, Germany) equipped with an electrospray ion source (ESI) operated in positive or negative ionization mode. The ion spray voltage was maintained at 3750 in positive and -4000 V in negative ionization mode. The dry temperature was set to 275 (positive) and 325°C (negative), and the dry gas flow was set to 8 L/min. Nitrogen was used as the dry gas, nebulizing gas, and collision gas. The nebulizing gas was set to 2.5 bar and collision energy to 15 eV. HRESIMS and MS/MS spectra were acquired in an m/z range from 50 to 1200 amu at a sampling rate of 2 Hz. Sodium formate clusters were used for mass calibration. All files were automatically calibrated by postprocessing. All acquired chromatograms and spectra were analyzed with Compass DataAnalysis v.4.3.0 (Bruker, Bremen, Germany). |
