Cyclophilins constitute a family of ubiquitous proteins that bind cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressant drug. Several of these proteins possess peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity that catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of the peptide bond preceding a proline residue, essential for correct folding of the proteins. Compared to prokaryotes and other eukaryotes studied until now, the cyclophilin gene families in plants exhibit considerable expansion. With few exceptions, the role of the majority of these proteins in plants is still a matter of conjecture. However, recent studies suggest that cyclophilins are highly versatile proteins with multiple functionalities, and regulate a plethora of growth and development processes in plants, ranging from hormone signaling to the stress response. The present review discusses the implications of cyclophilins in different facets of cellular processes, particularly in the context of plants, and provides a glimpse into the molecular mechanisms by which these proteins fine-tune the diverse physiological pathways.
Introduction
A peptide bond in a folded protein can attain either cis or trans conformation, with the latter being favored due to geometrical and thermodynamic parameters (Ramachandran and Sasisekharan, 1968). However, the peptide bond preceding a proline (Pro) residue tends to adopt the cis configuration since its cyclic five-membered ring imposes rigid constraints on rotation about the N-Cα bond (Schulz and Schirmer, 2013). Hence, about 10–15% of peptidyl-prolyl bonds tend to adopt the cis conformation (Brandts et al., 1975). The presence of cis-proline peptide bonds has many structural implications as these tend to introduce bends in a protein and decrease stability. Therefore, cis to trans isomerization of peptide bonds, a rate-limiting process, is essential for the proper folding of proteins. Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) are the only enzymes known that can catalyze cis-trans transition (Fischer et al., 1989). Unlike chaperones which require energy, the PPIases are typical enzymes that follow the Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Schmid et al., 1993; Fanghänel and Fischer, 2004).
The PPIases belong to three major classes of proteins viz., cyclophilins, FK506-binding proteins or FKBPs, and parvulins. While cyclophilins bind cyclosporin A (CsA), FKBPs and parvulins show interaction with FK506 (tacrolimus)/rapamycin (sirolimus) and juglone (5-hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone), respectively. CsA and FK506 and its structural analog, rapamycin, are immunosuppressive drugs that are used for preventing graft rejection after allogeneic transplants (Göthel and Marahiel, 1999). These drugs block T-cell activation by interfering with the signal transduction pathways (Schreiber, 1991). The target of CsA was first detected in the bovine thymus as an 18 kDa protein, while the receptor for FK506 was identified as a protein of 12 kDa which was later also shown to bind to rapamycin (Handschumacher et al., 1984; Harding et al., 1989; Siekierka et al., 1989). The parvulins (Latin: parvulus, very small) were first identified in E. coli as a protein of 92 amino acid residues (Rahfeld et al., 1994). The PPIase activity of these proteins is sensitive only to juglone and is not affected by either CsA or FK506. Though cyclophilins and FKBPs are collectively referred to as immunophilins (Schreiber, 1991), members of these families show characteristics and conserved sequence features that differ between the two classes (He et al., 2004). Two new classes of PPIases viz., FCBPs (FK506 and CsA-binding proteins) that contain both cyclophilin and FKBP domains (Adams et al., 2005), and Protein Phosphatase 2A Phosphatase Activator (PTPA; Jordens et al., 2006) have also been discovered. While the FCBPs have not been reported in plants (Geisler and Bailly, 2007; Barik, 2018), the PTPA orthologs, though encoded by the plant genomes, have not been characterized yet for their PPIase activity (Chen et al., 2014).
Cyclophilins are ubiquitous proteins and are present in a wide range of organisms including viruses, bacteria, fungi, mammals and plants (Galat, 2003; Thai et al., 2008). Besides PPIase activity, a few members of this family also demonstrate chaperone activity, implying their multifaceted properties (Rinfret et al., 1994; Mayr et al., 2000; Marín-Menéndez et al., 2012). Recent advances in genome and transcriptome sequencing have revealed that relative to other organisms, the cyclophilin gene families show dramatic expansion in plants. The smallest and largest cyclophilin families with 29 and 94 genes have been reported in Oryza sativa and Brassica napus, respectively (Table 1). These proteins exhibit intra- and inter-specific differences in size (5.7 – 358.22 kDa) and pI values (4.4 – 12.6) (Table 1), suggesting divergence in their roles (Galat, 2004; Pemberton and Kay, 2005; Singh et al., 2019). Although inter- and intra-specific diversity of cyclophilins in plants indicates that these proteins may be performing distinct cellular functions (Table 2), with few of the roles being species-specific, the physiological significance of the majority of these proteins in plants is still a matter of conjecture. In the present article, we have attempted to summarize the different structural and functional aspects of cyclophilins in plants and their likely implications in different facets of growth and development.

Structural Analyses of Cyclophilin Genes and Proteins in Plants
Genome-wide analyses revealed that the distribution of cyclophilin genes on different chromosomes in plants is uneven (Table 3). The cyclophilin genes in allopolyploids such as B. napus and wheat occur in pairs, with each member originating from one progenitor chromosomal set. These pairs are highly identical and share localization patterns (Hanhart et al., 2017; Singh et al., 2019). Structural analysis of cyclophilin genes in plants has been carried out for soybean, cotton, wheat and Medicago truncatula (Mainali et al., 2014; Chen et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2019; Ge L. et al., 2020). These studies revealed considerable variability in the distribution and size of introns in the open reading frames (ORFs) and untranslated regions (UTRs) as compared to other organisms (Table 4). The cyclophilin genes with the highest number of introns include cotton (20 in GbCYP142; Chen et al., 2019), wheat (13 each in TaCYP64-1-7A, TaCYP64-2-7B, and TaCYP64-3-7D; Singh et al., 2019) and soybean (13 each in GmCYP56 and GmCYP59; Mainali et al., 2014). The largest intron (28618 bp) was observed in TaCYP26-5-2B, while the smallest (39 bp) was noticed in GmCYP5 (Table 4). Information about variations in the structure of cyclophilin genes in rice, Arabidopsis and Brassica, which is lacking, may provide further insights into the evolution of these families in plants. Loss or gain of introns, an important aspect of structural variation, is vital for gene evolution (Roy and Gilbert, 2006). The intron size may be correlated with the genome size and longer introns have been proposed to confer a selective advantage by improving the recombination, and also by counterbalancing the mutational bias towards deletions (Carvalho and Clark, 1999; McLysaght et al., 2000). Thus, the variability in introns in plant cyclophilins may have important implications in their functionalization which needs to be explored further. Since 5′ and 3′ UTRs are structurally important and regulate the expression of eukaryotic genes (Wilkie et al., 2003), differences in these regions may likely enable differential regulation of plant cyclophilins, leading to divergence in their physiological roles.

Table 4. Variability in architecture of cyclophilin genes.
The cyclophilins in plants and other organisms, though predominantly cytosolic, are also predicted to be localized in the chloroplast, nucleus, mitochondria, extracellular/secretory and plasma membrane (Table 1). The presence of cyclophilins in different organelles of plants signifies their specific and distinct roles in the cell (Tables 1, 2). Based on domain organization, the cyclophilins are classified as single- (SD) or multi-domain (MD) forms (Table 1). The SD cyclophilins possess the characteristic cyclophilin-like domain (CLD), while the MD cyclophilins also contain additional specific functional domains (Table 5). Analysis of CLD in the typical human cyclophilin, hCYPA (hCYP18-A/CYPA), demonstrated that the residues Arg55, Phe60, Met61, Glu63, Ala101, Phe113, Trp121, Leu122 and His126 are essential for PPIase activity (Zydowsky et al., 1992b; Ke et al., 1994; Zhao et al., 1997; Howard et al., 2003; Davis et al., 2010). Arg55, in particular, plays a critical role in PPIase functions, whereas Trp121, though not involved in cis-trans isomerization, is essential for CsA binding (Liu et al., 1991; Zydowsky et al., 1992b; Howard et al., 2003). Interestingly, in the plant MD cyclophilins, the TPR and WD40 repeats are observed more commonly compared to other domains (Table 5). The domains such as TPR, WD40, F-box, coiled-coil, etc., have been reported to facilitate protein-protein interactions in the cell (Lamb et al., 1995; Craig and Tyers, 1999; Van Nocker and Ludwig, 2003; Liu et al., 2006). Hence, the cyclophilins consisting of these motifs may be acting as platforms for assembling protein complexes or mediate transient interactions among other proteins, further indicating their functional versatility (Bandziulis et al., 1989; Van Nocker and Ludwig, 2003; Stirnimann et al., 2010; Earley and Poethig, 2011). Compared with yeast and human cyclophilins, the presence of various additional domains such as PsbQ-like, F-box, Helical bundle, ATPase and PAN_4 domain in the plant MD cyclophilins (Figure 1 and Table 5) signifies divergence of their roles that are yet to be explored completely (Dornan et al., 2003; Romano et al., 2004b; Mainali et al., 2014; Kumari et al., 2015; Hanhart et al., 2017; Chen et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2019).

Figure 1. Comparative analysis of domain architecture of Arabidopsis cyclophilins with their orthologs in human and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amino acid residues that define the protein domains are designated according to Galat (2004), Wang and Heitman (2005), Kumari et al. (2015), and Schiene-Fischer (2015). For Arabidopsis cyclophilins that may have alternatively spliced forms, the domain architecture is shown for only a single variant. CLD, cyclophilin-like domain; RRM, RNA recognition motif; TPR, tetratricopeptide repeat; U-box, U box domain; WD40, WD40 repeat; RanBDl, Ran binding protein 1 domain; zf RanBP, Zn-finger, Ran-binding; SR, Serine arginine rich domain. The nomenclature and alternative protein names are given in the box. Scale bar represents the length of amino acid sequence.
So far, only five different plant cyclophilins viz., TaCYPA-1 (Sekhon et al., 2013), CsCYP (Campos et al., 2013), Catharanthus roseus Cat r 1 (Ghosh et al., 2014), BnCYP19-1 (Hanhart et al., 2019) and AtCYP38 or CYP38 (Vasudevan et al., 2012) have been characterized for their crystal structures. While the former four are single-domain proteins and show PPIase activity, the AtCYP38 is a MD cyclophilin that lacks cis-trans isomerization capability (Vasudevan et al., 2012). The crystal structures of TaCYPA-1, CsCYP, BnCYP19-1 and CLD of AtCYP38 are similar to “archetypal” human cyclophilin hCYPA, and consist of eight-stranded antiparallel β-barrel capped at either end by two α-helices (Vasudevan et al., 2012; Campos et al., 2013; Sekhon et al., 2013; Hanhart et al., 2019). However, Cat r 1 (PDB: 2MC9) shows variability in its structure since the β-barrel in this protein consists of seven antiparallel β-strands instead of eight (Ghosh et al., 2014). The CsA-binding site in hCYPA and other such cyclophilins is composed of seven aromatic and other hydrophobic residues that constitute the hydrophobic core within the barrel (Kallen et al., 1991). The topology of this β-barrel structure is unique in the sense that it remains occupied with a set of closely packed aromatic groups making no room for binding of either CsA or the Pro containing peptides (Ke, 1992). Therefore, the CsA and other substrates bind to an active site that is formed by amino acid residues located on the outer face of the β sheet. The active sites consist of 13 residues which are identical in CsCYP, TaCYPA-1, BnCYP19-1 and hCYPA (Ke et al., 1994; Campos et al., 2013; Sekhon et al., 2013; Hanhart et al., 2019). However, the electrostatic surface map studies indicated that despite conservation of all the 13 active site residues, the active site pocket in Cat r 1 appears to be slightly broader and is more acidic in nature, which might be imparting precision for binding of peptides with a specific amino acid composition (Ghosh et al., 2014). While the conservation of CLD structure in cyclophilins underlines its fundamental role in the cell, the remarkable diversity in their domain architecture could have subtle or profound effects on the structure of these proteins which may, in turn, affect their biochemical activities differently, enabling them to perform a wide variety of roles in different cellular processes. Elucidation of crystal structures of different cyclophilins and identification of their interacting proteins is, thus, imperative to gain further insights into their specific functions.
Regulation of PPIase Activity of Cyclophilins
The PPIase activity of immunophilins is assayed by several in vitro methods viz., isomer-specific cleavage of the peptide with chymotrypsin, protease-free assay, NMR-based methods, protein folding/unfolding and fluorescence-based assays (Fischer et al., 1984; Janowski et al., 1997; Davis et al., 2010). The recent development of an in vivo method provides a useful tool to study the regulation of PPIase activity by temporal, spatial and environmental factors in the living cells (Jiang et al., 2018). Cyclophilins have been characterized biochemically from several organisms (Table 6), some of which were reviewed earlier (Fanghänel and Fischer, 2004). As observed for cyclophilins in other organisms, the plant cyclophilins also exhibit variability in their kinetic parameters and sensitivity to CsA (Table 6). Whereas the catalytic constants (kcat/km) of the different plant cyclophilins reported until now vary between 105 to 107 M –1s–1 for the suc-AAPF-pNA oligopeptide substrate, the inhibition constants for CsA range between 6.0 (ZmCYP18) to 78.3 nM (TaCYPA-1). The implications of diversity in biochemical attributes of cyclophilins in modulating the physiological response in plants are not understood and need to be investigated by overexpressing mutant cyclophilins that exhibit graded cis-trans isomerization capabilities.
Table 6. Biochemical characteristics of different cyclophilins.
Contingent upon the presence of an extra loop of four or more amino acid residues present at residue 50 corresponding to hCYPA, the cyclophilins are classified as divergent or non-divergent (Dornan et al., 1999). The divergent loop cyclophilins such as TaCYPA-1 (Sekhon et al., 2013), CsCYP (Campos et al., 2013) and Cat r 1 (Ghosh et al., 2014) are similar to hCYPA in their active site composition and CsA binding characteristics except for the presence of a characteristic additional loop (consensus sequence XXGKXLH corresponding to amino acid residues 48–54 in TaCYPA-1), two conserved Cys residues (Cys40 and Cys168) and a conserved glutamate (Glu83) residue (Kaur et al., 2015; Vasudevan et al., 2015). On the contrary, the non-divergent cyclophilins such as hCYPA, SmCYPA and AtCYP20-3 or ROC4 (Rotamase Cyclophilin 4) lack the additional loop and are characterized by two conserved Cys residues at positions 122 and 126 (Gourlay et al., 2007; Laxa et al., 2007). AtCYP38, however, is a unique kind of non-divergent cyclophilin since it lacks both the characteristic divergent loop as well as the Cys amino acids observed in other plant non-divergent cyclophilins (Vasudevan et al., 2012).
The PPIase activity of cyclophilins, in general, is regulated in a redox-dependent or independent manner. Contrary to the E. coli cyclophilin PPIB, that is regulated by redox-independent mechanisms (Hayano et al., 1991; Kaur et al., 2015), the PPIase activity of AtCYP19-3 (ROC2), AtCYP20-3, SmCYPA, CsCYP and TaCYPA-1 is subject to redox regulation (Motohashi et al., 2003; Gourlay et al., 2007; Laxa et al., 2007; Campos et al., 2013; Kaur et al., 2015, 2017). Furthermore, the redox-regulatory mechanisms observed in different cyclophilins are also distinct. For instance, the regulation of non-divergent cyclophilins hCYPA and AtCYP20-3 involves glutathionylation and thioredoxin-mediated thiol-disulfide exchange, respectively. Whereas glutathionylation of Cys residues in hCYPA renders the protein inactive under oxidative conditions, deglutathionylation through reduction of thiol groups by intracellular pH changes or in response to reducing environment restores its activity (Ghezzi et al., 2006; Townsend, 2007; Dalle-Donne et al., 2009). On the contrary, the activity of AtCYP20-3 is modulated by thioredoxin (Trx)-mediated thiol-disulphide exchange (Motohashi et al., 2003; Laxa et al., 2007). Under oxidizing conditions, the formation of two disulphide pairs in AtCYP20-3 (Cys53-Cys70 and Cys128-Cys175) abrogates the PPIase activity, while Trx-mediated reduction results in restoration of the catalytic function.
Regulation of another non-divergent cyclophilin SmCYPA from Schistosoma mansoni is attributed to oxidation-induced disulfide bond formation between Cys122 and Cys126 that results in loss of activity (Gourlay et al., 2007). On the contrary, the regulation of a divergent cyclophilin from Citrus sinensis, CsCYP, involves both disulphide bond formation between Cys40 and Cys168 as well as loop displacement (Campos et al., 2013). Our earlier studies revealed that the wheat divergent cyclophilin, TaCYPA-1, has an additional Cys126 residue corresponding to the residue 126 in non-divergent SmCYP (Gourlay et al., 2007; Kaur et al., 2015). Site-directed mutagenesis studies provided evidence that PPIase activity of TaCYPA-1 is regulated through a dual mechanism involving loop displacement (Kaur et al., 2017), as observed in the divergent cyclophilin CsCYP (Campos et al., 2013), and also by the interaction between Cys122 and Cys126, as reported for the non-divergent SmCYPA (Supplementary Figure 1; Gourlay et al., 2007), with the latter mechanism playing a predominant role (Kaur et al., 2017). These observations make TaCYPA-1 unique since despite being a divergent cyclophilin its activity is also subject to regulation by mechanisms that are more common to the non-divergent cyclophilins. In silico studies in our lab revealed that several other wheat cyclophilins may also follow similar regulation (Singh et al., 2019), the significance of which is not understood yet. It is evident that despite the conservation of active sites in cyclophilins, distinct regulatory mechanisms have evolved for the regulation of these proteins, possibly to impart versatility to these proteins to regulate diverse cellular processes. However, the physiological implication of different regulatory mechanisms of cyclophilins in plants is a matter of conjecture and merits further investigations.
Cyclophilins as Protein Folding Catalysts
Evidence for in vivo role of cyclophilins in protein folding was first provided by analysis of Drosophila melanogaster ninaA (Neither inactivation nor after potential protein A) protein, which is a tissue-specific integral membrane protein required for the proper synthesis of the visual pigment rhodopsin 1 (Rh1; Stamnes et al., 1991). In D. melanogaster, Rh1 is synthesized in the ER and is transported to rhabdomeres via the secretory pathway where it performs phototransduction. Mutation in ninaA blocks this transportation and results in accumulation of rhodopsin in the ER, leading to its degradation and consequently impaired visual function (Colley et al., 1991). The CPR3 in yeast also catalyzes protein folding in vivo, as isolated mitochondria from Δcpr3 (yeast strain mutated in CPR3 gene) showed a reduced rate of protein folding (Matouschek et al., 1995). The chaperonic function of an Arabidopsis cyclophilin AtCYP40 (CYP40) was shown to be independent of PPIase activity since the enzymatically inactive mutants of AtCYP40 were able to facilitate the assembly of RNA induced silencing complex (RISC; Iki et al., 2012). Evidence for the chaperonic role of RcCYP1, a highly active PPIase abundant in companion cell sieve element complex of Ricinus communis, was provided by microinjection studies (Gottschalk et al., 2008). These authors observed that RcCYP1 is involved in auto-cell to cell trafficking via interaction with plasmodesmata special proteins and performs unique functions by assisting their refolding. Studies carried out in our laboratory demonstrated that PPIase activity in the wheat grains is associated with the deposition of grain storage proteins or prolamines (Dutta et al., 2011). Since prolamines are rich in prolyl residues (10–15%; Shewry et al., 2002), the PPIases might be involved in the folding of these proteins. Plants have diverse cyclophilins, but information on biochemical properties and chaperonic activities of these proteins is rather scarce. Therefore, molecular analysis and biochemical characterization of different cyclophilins in plants are imperative for gaining insights into their physiological roles which might further lead to the development of crops with improved agronomic traits.
Roles of Cyclophilins in Chloroplast
The CsA-sensitive PPIase activity in chloroplasts was first demonstrated in pea by Breiman et al. (1992). Since the characterization of TLP40, a 40 kDa thylakoid lumen cyclophilin from spinach chloroplasts (Fulgosi et al., 1998), proteomics and bioinformatics approaches resulted in the identification of 11 FKBPs and 5 cyclophilins in the chloroplast lumen of Arabidopsis (Edvardsson et al., 2007; Trivedi et al., 2012). TLP40 is a multi-domain cyclophilin that shows PPIase activity and acts as a negative regulator of the thylakoid membrane protein phosphatase (Fulgosi et al., 1998; Vener et al., 1999). This protein plays an essential role in the growth and development of plants since mutations in its Arabidopsis ortholog, AtCYP38, resulted in impaired development of chloroplasts, retarded plant growth, hypersensitivity to light, and enhanced degradation of D1 and D2 components of PSII under high light conditions (Fu et al., 2007; Sirpiö et al., 2008; Vasudevan et al., 2012; Vojta et al., 2019). Together with other immunophilins such as FKBP13 and FKBP20-2, that are required for accumulation of the cytochrome b6f complex and PSII supercomplexes, respectively (Gupta et al., 2002; Lima et al., 2006), AtCYP38, despite lacking PPIase activity, appears to be indispensable for proper biogenesis and maintenance of photosynthetic complexes. On the contrary, impaired functioning of AtCYP20-2, a highly active PPIase and orthologous to the spinach cyclophilin TLP20, had no apparent phenotypic effect, suggesting redundancy in the function of these proteins (Fulgosi et al., 1998; Sirpiö et al., 2009). It has been proposed that while TLP40 performs specialized regulatory function(s), TLP20 might act as a general protein folding catalyst (Edvardsson et al., 2003). The chloroplast stromal protein AtCYP20-3, 65.64 % identical to AtCYP20-2, facilitates the folding of serine acetyltransferase (SAT) that catalyzes the ultimate step in Cys biosynthesis which is important for glutathione formation. The PPIase and folding activities of AtCYP20-3, sensitive to photooxidation and stress-induced ROS, were restored following reduction by photoreduced Trx (Laxa et al., 2007). Mutation in AtCYP20-3 resulted in hypersensitivity to oxidative stress in Arabidopsis (Dominguez-Solis et al., 2008), implying that it enables the Cys-based thiol biosynthesis pathway to adjust to light and stress conditions. Isothermal titration microcalorimetry and gel overlay assays further indicated that AtCYP20-3 interacts with thiol based peroxidases, 2-Cysteine peroxiredoxins (2-CysPrx), which can exist as either dimer or decamer. The dimer form is favored under oxidizing conditions whereas the decamer is formed under reducing conditions. High affinity of AtCYP20-3 for the dimer leads to a decrease in the free dimer concentration. Thus it appears that AtCYP20-3 regulates the critical transition concentration (concentration responsible for dimer-decameric form transition) value of 2-CysPrx, suggesting redox-dependent conformational dynamics of this protein (Liebthal et al., 2016).
Roles of Cyclophilins in Growth and Development of Plants
Various studies have substantiated the role of cyclophilins in the regulation of different aspects of plant growth and development. Whereas, a CsA-inhibitable PPIase in Arabidopsis, AtCYP19-4 (CYP5), was proposed to determine cell-polarity and regulate embryogenesis, the cytosolic SD cyclophilin AtCYP19-1 (ROC3) was implicated in seed development (Grebe et al., 2000; Stangeland et al., 2005). Cyclophilins also appear to affect organogenesis in Arabidopsis since the loss of function of a nuclear-localized MD protein, AtCYP71, resulted in compromised lateral organ formation and apical meristem activity (Li et al., 2007). Chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation were proposed as the likely mechanisms of action for AtCYP71 because this protein exhibited interaction with FAS1 (a subunit of Chromatin Assembly factor-1) and LHP1 (a heterochromatin protein) (Li et al., 2007; Li and Luan, 2011).
Another cytosolic cyclophilin, AtCYP40, was identified as a regulator of vegetative growth in Arabidopsis. Mutation (sqn) in this gene (SQUINT) resulted in a decrease in the number of juvenile leaves (Berardini et al., 2001). The mutated plants exhibited attenuated ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) function that decreased the miRNA activity, resulting in enhanced expression of miR156-sensitive squamosa promoter binding protein-like family (SPL) of transcription factors (Smith et al., 2009). Even though reproductive maturation was not affected in the sqn mutants, later studies revealed that AtCYP40, along with REBELOTE (RBL; protein of unknown function) and ULTRAPET ALA (ULT1; a putative transcription factor), is important for floral developmental homeostasis (Prunet et al., 2008). AtCYP40 is a multidomain cyclophilin and contains TPR domain at its C-terminus which mediates its interaction with cytoplasmic HSP90, a feature also conserved for its orthologs in animals and S. cerevisiae (Berardini et al., 2001; Wandinger et al., 2008; Earley and Poethig, 2011; Blackburn et al., 2015). AtCYP40 facilitates the formation of miRISC assembly by mediating the interaction of HSP90-AGO1 complex with a small RNA duplex that leads to the formation of mature RISC. Though the interaction of AtCYP40 with HSP90-AGO 1 complex, imperative for RISC assembly, is sensitive to CsA, the role of PPIase activity in this process is still elusive (Iki et al., 2012).
Recent studies have demonstrated that regulation of growth and development in plants by cyclophilins may also be isoform-dependent (Jung et al., 2020). The Golgi-localized cyclophilin in rice, OsCYP21, exists in four different isoforms viz., OsCYP21-1, OsCYP21-2, OsCYP21-3 and OsCYP21-4. Despite the conservation of active site residues, these isoforms differ in their activity. While OsCYP21-1 and OsCYP21-2 are enzymatically active, the latter two lack PPIase activity. The isoforms OsCYP21-1 and OsCYP21-2 were implicated in the regulation of growth and development through modulation of ABA pathway genes. The significance of PPIase activity in this role needs to be corroborated by generating plants with mutated OsCYP21-1 and OsCYP21-2 that are deficient in PPIase function. Thus, it is evident that the regulation of various facets of growth and development by different cyclophilins entails distinct mechanisms that further signifies their functional versatility.
Implications of Cyclophilins in Hormone Signaling
Recent studies have provided evidence for the involvement of cyclophilins in several hormone-mediated responses in plants. Brassinosteroids and gibberellic acid (GA) are key regulators of plant stem elongation, and defects in the biosynthetic or signaling pathways of these hormones result in dwarf phenotype (Wang and Li, 2008). Genes contributing to dwarfness are of agronomic importance due to their potential for developing crops that are resistant to lodging under water-logging and strong wind conditions. DELLA proteins (named after conserved N-terminal D-E-L-L-A amino acid sequence) are inhibitors of stem growth and have been implicated in dwarf phenotype in Arabidopsis, B. napus and peach (Lawit et al., 2010; Zhao et al., 2017; Cheng et al., 2019). GA degrades DELLA proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to promote stem growth (Sun, 2008, 2010). Mutations in the DELLA domain that abrogate interaction with F-box containing proteins SLY1, GID1 and GID2 prevent their GA-dependent degradation (Dill et al., 2004; Ueguchi-Tanaka et al., 2005; Nakajima et al., 2006; Lou et al., 2016). Functional impairment of DELLA proteins was reported to result in the dominant GA-insensitive dwarf phenotype (gaid) in wheat and B. rapa (Brrga1-d) (Ho et al., 1981; Muangprom et al., 2005). The gaid phenotype in wheat was also associated with higher levels of a 20 kDa cyclophilin, TaCYP20-2, overexpression of which in the wild-type wheat lead to gaid-like phenotype (Li et al., 2010), implying that this protein plays an essential role in maintaining GA homoeostasis by regulating the DELLA proteins. However, elucidation of the precise mechanism of action requires further intense experimentations.
The inhibition of hypocotyl growth and the expansion of cotyledons by light after the emergence of shoot from the soil in Arabidopsis is regulated by the photoreceptors phytochromes (PHYA to PHYE) and cryptochromes (CRY1 and CRY2) (Cashmore et al., 1999; Quail, 2005). Screening of the transgenic Arabidopsis 35S-cDNA lines for defective de-etiolation under a combination of blue and far-red light resulted in the isolation of a mutant (roc1-1D) that depicted enhanced expression of a cytoplasmic cyclophilin, AtCYP18-3 (ROC1, Rotamase Cyclophilin 1). The roc1-1D plants exhibited long hypocotyls and poorly unfolded cotyledons under blue and far-red light, and lower anthocyanin under far-red or blue light (Trupkin et al., 2012). Further analysis revealed that the mutant plants were hypersensitive to brassinosteroids in light but not in the dark. Inhibition of brassinosteroid synthesis and mutations in the genes responsible for brassinosteroid signaling abolished the mutant phenotype, implying that AtCYP18-3 links cryptochrome and phytochrome to brassinosteroid sensitivity (Trupkin et al., 2012).
Subsequent studies also provided evidence that functionality of AtCYP18-3 is highly sensitive to single amino acid substitution, since plants which over-expressed its variant containing phenylalanine instead of serine at position 58 exhibited reduced height, increase in shoot branching and higher sensitivity to photoperiod and temperature (Ma et al., 2013). The wild type AtCYP18-3 though does not appear to control stem elongation, likely conformation changes due to amino acid substitution might have resulted in the identification of new targets, thereby, affecting the stem growth. Therefore, structural analysis and identification of interacting proteins are imperative to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the mutated AtCYP18-3 controls growth and development in plants. Further, whether the mutated AtCYP18-3 can facilitate cross-talk between brassinosteroid signaling and photoreceptors is also a subject of future studies.
Besides brassinosteroid and GA signaling, cyclophilins have also been demonstrated to mediate auxin response. At low levels of auxin, the expression of auxin-responsive genes is kept in check by the unstable transcriptional repressors Aux/IAA proteins that bind to and inhibit the activity of auxin response factors (ARFs), a family of transcriptional activators (Figure 2; Theologis et al., 1985; Ainley et al., 1988; Conner et al., 1990; Yamamoto et al., 1992; Guilfoyle et al., 1993; Abel et al., 1995). The Aux/IAA genes are also induced by IAA and control the auxin response through a negative feedback loop (Reed, 2001). The Aux/IAA proteins consist of four highly conserved domains I-IV and bind to the ARFs either directly or through recruitment of transcriptional corepressor such as TOPLESS (TPL), the interactions being mediated by domain I that contains Leu-rich motif (Tiwari et al., 2004; Szemenyei et al., 2008). At high levels, the auxin binds to its receptor TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE1/AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX PROTEINS (TIR1/AFBs), an F-box containing protein, and the auxin-responsive genes are activated through auxin-dependent proteasomal degradation of Aux/IAA proteins that require ubiquitination (Wang and Estelle, 2014). The ubiquitination of proteins is catalyzed by a cascade of three enzymes viz., the Ub-activating enzyme (E1), the Ub-conjugating enzyme (E2) and the Ub-protein ligase (E3). The SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F box) E3, one of the four different types of E3s described in plants, is a complex of four different polypeptides viz., SKP1 (a member of an ASK family in plants), CDC53 or Cullin (Cul1), an F Box protein and RBX. The Cul1 acts as a central scaffold protein, while the SKP1 interacts with the F-box protein that further binds to the substrate proteins (Smalle and Vierstra, 2004). Transfer of Ub from Ub-E2 to the substrate protein is catalyzed by the fourth subunit (RBX1, ROC, or Hrt1) of the SCF complex (Petroski and Deshaies, 2005). The TIR1 interacts with SKP1 to form the SCFTIR1 complex (Ruegger et al., 1998; Gray et al., 1999). Auxin acts as a molecular glue and after binding to TIR1, it enhances the interaction of the latter with the highly conserved ‘degron’ motif GWPPV in domain II of Aux/IAAs, leading to ubiquitination and proteolytic degradation of the latter (Figure 2; Gray et al., 2001; Reed, 2001; Tan et al., 2007). The Aux/IAA proteins bind to SCFTIR1-Auxin complex only when the ‘degron’ motif GWPPV is in the cis W-P isomer (Tan et al., 2007; Acevedo et al., 2019). Recent studies have provided insights into the implications of cyclophilin-associated PPIase activity in mediating the interaction of Aux/IAA with the SCFTIR1-Auxin complex. The LATERAL ROOTLESS 2 (LRT2) in rice encodes a cyclophilin PPIase OsCYP2, and disruption of this gene leads to an auxin-resistant phenotype and defective development of lateral roots (Kang et al., 2013; Zheng et al., 2013). The OsCYP2 was demonstrated to physically interact with the rice OsAux/IAA and TIR proteins, and catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of the OsIAA11 degron motif (Jing et al., 2015). These findings, thus, imply that the equilibrium of cis to trans populations of Aux/IAA proteins acts as a molecular timer to regulate auxin signal transduction (Acevedo et al., 2019). Since transcription of genes responsive to jasmonic acid, GA and strigolactone is also dependent on proteasome-mediated degradation of their specific repressors, the involvement of PPIases in controlling regulatory circuits of other hormones cannot be ruled out and should be the subject of future studies.
Figure 2. Role of cyclophilins in regulation of Auxin-responsive genes. At low levels of Auxin, Aux/IAA proteins bind to auxin response factors (ARFs) directly or through recruitment of transcriptional corepressor such as TOPLESS (TPL) and inhibit their activity (1). When present at high levels, the auxin binds to its receptor TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE1 (TIR1) and enhances its interaction with the highly conserved ‘degron’ motif GWPPV in domain II of Aux/IAAs (2 and 3). The Aux/IAA proteins bind to SCFTIR1-Auxin complex only when W104-P105 isomer in the ‘degron’ motif GWPPV (residues 103, 104, 105, 106 and 107, respectively, in rice) is in cis conformation. The trans conformer of W-P (T105-T106) in the ‘degron’ motif is catalyzed to cis form (c105-T106) by OsCYP2 (4). The Aux/IAA-SCFTIR1 complex leads to ubiquitination of Aux/IAA proteins (5), which are then degraded by 26S Proteasome (6), leading to expression of Auxin responsive genes including Aux/IAA (7) (Adapted from Tan et al., 2007; Mockaitis and Estelle, 2008; Jing et al., 2015; Created with BioRender.com).
Given the diversity of PPIases in plants, it is likely that parallel regulatory mechanisms may be operating for several other processes in plants that, nonetheless, are yet to be identified. The presence of different functional domains, several of which facilitate protein-protein interactions, may enable the cyclophilins to identify a multitude of proteins as targets, thereby controlling complex regulatory circuits that enable the plants to respond to various developmental and environmental cues. It is apparent that, as proposed earlier for several biological processes such as cell division, gene expression, immune response and neural functions in animals (Lu et al., 2002, 2007), the PPIase catalyzed cis-trans conversion may act as a molecular switch in plants as well.
Roles of Cyclophilins in Transcriptional and Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation
Transcript turnover and translational control are important post-transcriptional mechanisms of regulation of gene expression. Several cyclophilins have been reported to contain RNA Recognition Motif (RRM), a 90 amino acid long conserved RNA binding motif that is a characteristic feature of RNA-interacting proteins known to actively participate in pre-mRNA processing events (Kenan et al., 1991; Birney et al., 1993). This group of proteins is popularly known as cyclophilin-RNA interacting proteins (CRIPs). The first gene belonging to this group, KIN241, was identified in Paramecium and demonstrated to play an essential role in cell morphogenesis, cortical organization and nuclear reorganization (Krzywicka et al., 2001). The Arabidopsis cyclophilin AtCYP59, which besides PPIase domain also contains an RRM motif, a Zn-knuckle and a charged C-terminal domain consisting of RS/RD (arginine/serine and arginine/aspartate) repeats, was proposed to regulate transcription through its interaction with the immature mRNA (Gullerova et al., 2006; Bannikova et al., 2012). However, contrary to human RRM-containing cyclophilin hCYP33 (CYPE), that showed enhanced PPIase activity after binding to RNA (Wang et al., 2008), the catalytic activity of AtCYP59 was repressed by RNA, indicating a possible negative feedback loop. The physiological significance of this observation in plants is, however, still to be established. Though the presence of RRM along with other domains is also observed in other cyclophilins viz., BnCYP52, BnCYP55 and BnCYP112 in B. napus, and TaCYP37-1-3D, TaCYP38-1-3B, TaCYP45-1-3A, TaCYP53-1-4B, TaCYP54-1-4A, TaCYP55-1-4D, TaCYP64-1-7A, TaCYP64-2-7B and TaCYP64-3-7D in wheat (Hanhart et al., 2017; Singh et al., 2019), the precise role of these proteins in RNA processing or transcriptional regulation is only speculative. A multi-domain cyclophilin, BnCYP146, the largest cyclophilin in B. napus, exhibits the presence of a putative Fip1 domain that has not been identified earlier in any of the cyclophilins. As Fip1 is a transmembrane motif involved in polyadenylation of mRNAs via interaction with the poly(A) polymerase (Hanhart et al., 2017), BnCYP146 might have a role in the stabilization of target RNA molecules and, hence, in the regulation of translation. This, however, requires further validation.
Implications of Cyclophilins in Abiotic Stress Response
The expression of cyclophilins in plants and other organisms is regulated by several different stress conditions (Table 7), supporting their role in the adaptation process (Marivet et al., 1994; Godoy et al., 2000; Sharma et al., 2003; Sekhar et al., 2010; Kumari et al., 2013, 2015). Our studies on sorghum were the first in plants to demonstrate that stress-induced PPIase activity is associated with drought tolerance (Sharma and Singh, 2003a,b; Sharma et al., 2003). Since then, conclusive evidence for the role of cyclophilins in the adaptation of plants to abiotic stress has been provided by several transgenic studies (Table 7). Heterologous expression of pigeonpea (CcCYP) and Golgi-localized rice (OsCYP21-4) cyclophilins imparted tolerance against salt and oxidative stress in Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa), respectively (Sekhar et al., 2010; Lee et al., 2015a). Ectopic expression of a cold-induced cyclophilin PPIase, OsCYP19-4, in transgenic rice resulted in a significant increase in the number of tillers, spikes, grain weight, and was associated with cold resistance (Yoon et al., 2016). Due to high similarity (70 %) to AtCYP19-4 (Ahn et al., 2010), that interacts with guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GNOM protein) which is involved in polar localization of the auxin efflux carrier PIN1, the enhanced performance of OsCYP19-4 overexpressing plants was ascribed to alteration in auxin homeostasis (Yoon et al., 2016). Determination of the auxin levels is required to support the proposed mechanism.
Table 7. Abiotic stress modulated cyclophilin genes.
The ability to confer tolerance against a broad range of abiotic stress conditions was also observed for the rice cyclophilin OsCYP2 (Table 7), which is localized to cytosol and nucleus, and shares 62.79 % and 32.08 % identity with OsCYP19-4 and OsCYP21-4, respectively (Kumari et al., 2013, 2015). The OsCYP2-induced tolerance to stress in transgenic tobacco plants was attributed to the regulation of ion homeostasis due to an enhanced K+/Na+ ratio (Kumari et al., 2015). The drought tolerance in the OsCYP18-2 over-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis, on the contrary, was ascribed to reduced transpiration rate due to a decrease in stomatal aperture (Lee et al., 2015b). Though OsCYP18-2 was also shown to interact with the Ski interacting protein (OsSKIP) in rice (Lee et al., 2015b), the role of this interaction in stress tolerance is not understood. The abrogation of this interaction by engineering OsCYP18-2 and OsSKIP will provide further insights into its functional significance.
The plastidic cyclophilins have also been demonstrated to impart protection against stress. Ectopic expression of the thylakoid localized cyclophilins, OsCYP20-2 and AtCYP38, resulted in enhanced tolerance to various abiotic stresses in the transgenic Arabidopsis and tobacco plants (Kim et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2015; Ge Q. et al., 2020). While the OsCYP20-2-induced-tolerance was ascribed to higher chloroplast PPIase activity and maintenance of NADH dehydrogenase-like complex that protects the stroma against over-reduction under stress conditions, the AtCYP38-stimulated protection against high light intensity was due to inhibition of PsbO2 activity which is an important component of photosystem II (Wang et al., 2015). Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of two different variants of OsCYP20-2 in rice, and the two isoforms contribute to chilling stress tolerance through different mechanisms (Ge Q. et al., 2020). While the chloroplast-localized OsCYP2 contributes to scavenging of ROS by enhancing the activity of a superoxide dismutase, OsFSD2, the nuclear-localized isoform, generated following truncation of the chloroplast signal peptide, interacts with a DELLA protein, SLENDER RICE1, and stimulates its degradation to promote growth. These studies, hence, highlight the crucial role of OsCYP20-2 in integrating plant growth and abiotic stress response. As observed in transgenic tobacco plants that constitutively expressed GjCYP-1, a cyclophilin gene from red alga Griffithsia japonica, the PPIase-induced stress tolerance might also be associated with adverse effects on growth and yield (Cho and Kim, 2008), thereby, necessitating the use of stress-inducible promoters.
Though molecular processes underlying the cyclophilin-induced stress tolerance are not fully understood for the majority of the cyclophilins, prevention of protein aggregation, as reported for GjCYP-1, may be one of the protective mechanisms (Cho et al., 2005). The heat stress tolerance in E. coli that overexpressed a redox-regulated wheat cytosolic cyclophilin, TaCYPA-1, was however attributed to its PPIase activity (Kaur et al., 2016, 2017). Since the redox status of plants undergoes reversible changes under stress conditions (Jubany-Mari et al., 2010), application of a redox-sensing GFP (c-roGFP1) for real-time monitoring of cytosol redox status (Brossa et al., 2013) is needed to explore the role of TaCYPA-1 in the maintenance of redox homeostasis in the cell under stress conditions. Further, our studies also demonstrated that TaCYPA-1 and AtCYP19-3, that are 74 % identical, interact with calmodulin (CaM) in a Ca2+-dependent fashion (Popescu et al., 2007; Kaur et al., 2015). As Ca2+ is a transducer of stress signals (Snedden and Fromm, 2001; Virdi et al., 2015), cyclophilins may likely constitute an important component of Ca2+-CaM signaling pathway. Whether interaction with CaM is a property shared by all cyclophilins is still a matter of speculation and requires further investigations for elucidating the role of these proteins in CaM-mediated responses
The expression of cyclophilin genes is also regulated by CO2 and nitrogen. Transcript levels of a tobacco cyclophilin gene were reported to increase under low nitrogen conditions (Yang et al., 2013), but the physiological implication of this observation is yet to be ascertained. Due to the competitive nature of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzed carboxylation and oxygenation reactions, the photosynthetic activity is low in plants and algae. Hence, under low CO2, the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is induced in several algae such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Moroney and Ynalvez, 2007). CCM leads to a high ratio of CO2 to O2 at the site of Rubisco and stimulates the carboxylation reaction under depleted CO2 conditions (Badger et al., 1980; Moroney and Mason, 1991). The establishment of CCM under low CO2 conditions in C. reinhardtii was reported to coincide with a transient increase in expression of a cyclophilin gene, indicating its likely role in this mechanism (Somanchi and Moroney, 1999). It was conjectured that this cyclophilin may be required for protecting the proteins against photodamage since CO2 is an electron receptor and a decrease in CO2 concentration at the same light imposes photooxidative stress. Similar roles cannot be ruled out for other cyclophilins, particularly the chloroplast-localized ones, and warrants further experimentation.
The cyclophilins from extremophiles such as Piriformospora indica and Thellungiella halophila also offer an attractive alternative to improve stress tolerance in crop plants (Table 7) (Chen et al., 2007; Trivedi et al., 2013b,c). PiCYPA cloned from the xerophytic fungus P. indica, despite lacking the canonical RRM, demonstrated interaction with RNA. It is likely that protection against stress in the PiCYPA-overexpressing transgenic E. coli and tobacco plants might be due to its role in the stabilization of RNA transcripts (Trivedi et al., 2013b). Induction of a 17.5 kDa cyclophilin PmCYP in dinoflagellate algae Prorocentrum minimum in response to different pollutants viz., copper and polychlorinated biphenyl (Ponmani et al., 2015) further suggests that the role of cyclophilins as stress proteins is conserved. The role of cyclophilins as universal stress proteins is also substantiated by studies on Brucella, an intracellular bacterial pathogen in humans and cows which causes the disease brucellosis (Young, 1995). Comparative proteomic analysis in B. abortus resulted in the identification of two cyclophilins (CYPA and CYPB) which were differentially expressed and implicated in bacterial intracellular adaptation (Roset et al., 2013). Studies employing ΔcypAB mutants revealed that these genes were essential for virulence and tolerance to various abiotic stresses such as oxidative, acidic pH and detergents (Roset et al., 2013).
It is apparent that despite being distinct, protection against stress-induced damage is a property common to several cyclophilins (Table 7), suggesting an overlap of their roles. However, the precise mechanisms by which these proteins protect the cellular machinery against stress-induced damage are still elusive for the majority of these proteins. Although except for AtCYP38, all the cyclophilins implicated in stress tolerance are SD proteins, similar roles for the MD cyclophilins cannot be ruled out and should be the subject of future studies. Further investigations are therefore necessary to unravel the physiological implications of cyclophilins in plants that will enable their applications in crop improvement through biotechnological interventions or conventional breeding.
Future Prospects
The characterization of cyclophilins in plants is revealing new insights into their physiological relevance. The presence of large gene families suggests that these cyclophilins might have overlapping yet distinct functions which are still speculative. As signified by analyses of available genomic data, the cyclophilin genes in plants display substantial variability in their structure, particularly in the context of the distribution of introns. Since introns play a role in regulating gene expression, rigorous studies are required to understand the implications of these differences in the regulation of cyclophilin genes. These studies are likely to provide insight into their physiological role. Despite the presence of conserved CLD, the presence of different domains such as TPR, WD, RRM, etc., in the MD cyclophilins indicate the acquisition of novel functions. However, the role of these domains in imparting specific functionalities to cyclophilins is still conjectural for the majority of these proteins. Therefore, it is imperative to carry out the targeted deletion of different motifs in MD cyclophilins of plants and analyze the effect thereof on various facets of growth and development. Despite high sequence similarity, variability in the structure of cyclophilins has been reported to result in dramatic changes in their biochemical properties. Given the diversity in plant cyclophilins, it is imperative to elucidate the structure of these proteins by using different biophysical approaches such as X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance to identify their mechanism of action. Both PPIase active and inactive (AtCYP38) cyclophilins have been reported to play specific roles in plants, thus, rendering the role of PPIase activity in plants a matter of speculation. Hence, the expression of site-directed mutants that show graded PPIase activity might illustrate the precise function of this biochemical attribute in the plants. Since PPIase activity of several cyclophilins is regulated by different redox mechanisms, and several of these proteins are induced by stress that affects the redox status of the cell, investigations should also be undertaken to comprehend their role in the maintenance of redox-homeostasis. Though the cyclophilin-induced stress tolerance in plants has been attributed to their chaperonic functions, the detailed cellular mechanisms, with few exceptions, are yet to be deciphered. The chaperonic activities (holdase and foldase) of cyclophilins can be independent of PPIase function, due to which concerted efforts are required to characterize the different biochemical activities of plant cyclophilins and their implications in stress tolerance. The multifaceted nature of cyclophilins warrants multipronged approaches to delineate their mechanisms of action in plants.
Conclusion
Compared with prokaryotes and animals, the cyclophilin gene families in plants have undergone dramatic expansion, implying functional diversification and their importance for different growth and developmental processes. Being sessile, the divergence of cyclophilins may enable the plants to respond and adapt to adverse environmental conditions since several of these genes are responsive to different abiotic and biotic stressors. It is evident that though the roles of majority of the cyclophilins in plants are obscure, these proteins by virtue of their PPIase and chaperonic activities are likely to regulate diverse aspects of growth and development. Furthermore, presence of additional functional domains such as WD, F-box, RRM, and Zn-knuckle might enable these proteins to facilitate assembly of multiprotein complexes and modulation of cellular processes through transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational and post-translational regulation of gene expression, thereby, enabling them to play multifaceted roles in the cell. Studies carried out so far also reveal that the enzymatic activity of cyclophilins is regulated through diverse mechanisms that might be redox-dependent or independent, the physiological significance of which is still a matter of speculation. The implications of cyclophilins such as LeCYP, TaCYP20-2 and AtCYP18-3 in auxin, GA and brassinosteroid signaling further underline their functional versatility and indispensability for the plants. The studies carried out until now have though provided novel insights into the functional and regulatory aspects of plant cyclophilins, the physiological significance of the majority of these proteins is still a matter of conjecture. Therefore, concerted efforts are imperative to understand the importance of different cyclophilins in plants so that these genes can be used for the improvement of different traits in the crop plants.
