The GSTs are unique in this group as they are all soluble or loosely membrane-associated dimers with a monomeric size of 15–28 kDa, and together comprise 1–3.5% of total cellular protein (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib27">Droog <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib61">Pairoba and Walbot, 2003</xref>). GSTs catalyse the conjugation of the tripeptide glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly; GSH) to a variety of electrophilic compounds to direct them to specific sites both intra- and extracellularly. In mammals, GST subunits are classified into α, μ, π, σ, and θ classes on the basis of amino acid identity, immuno-cross-reactivity, and substrate specificity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib11">Buetler and Eaton, 1992</xref>; Mannervik <italic>et al.</italic>, 1992). The majority of plant GSTs are most similar to the θ class, and are further classified into three phylogenetic types based on sequence similarity and intron/exon structure (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib26">Droog <italic>et al.</italic>, 1993</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib25">Droog, 1997</xref>). Type I GSTs, with two introns, have been identified in numerous plant species. Type II GSTs have been identified in wheat and carnation, with the gene in carnation containing nine introns (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib53">McGonigle <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>). Type III GSTs contain a single intron and make up the second largest family of plant GSTs, including many of the GSTs originally identified as auxin-regulated proteins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib70">Takahashi <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">Edwards and Dixon, 2005</xref>).</p><p>GSTs, originally characterized by their ability to modify xenobiotics covalently by glutathionation, are rapidly induced by their substrates—in particular plant herbicides (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib50">Marrs <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib1">Aharoni <italic>et al.</italic>, 2002</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib18">Dean <italic>et al.</italic>, 2005</xref>). In addition, GSTs act as non-enzymatic carrier proteins (ligandins) enabling intracellular shuttling of endogenous compounds in animals, plants, and prokaryotes. Within plants, these ligands include indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), labile cytochrome precursors, and the ubiquitous plant pigments, anthocyanins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib39">Jones, 1994</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib7">Bilang and Sturm, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib50">Marrs <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">Mueller <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib44">Lederer and Böger, 2005</xref>). The soybean GH2/4 gene is inducible not only by strong auxins (2,4-D; 2,4,5-T; α-NAA) and salicylic acid (SA), but also by numerous other electrophilic compounds, including weak auxins (β-NAA), inactive auxin analogues (2,3-D and 2,3,6-T), and inactive SA analogues (3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib73">Ulmasov <italic>et al.</italic>, 1994, 1995</xref>). Furthermore, the Hmgst-1 protein from <italic>Hyoscyamus muticus</italic> able to bind IAA exhibits an expression profile that correlates with accumulation of IAA, suggesting that this GST is involved in intracellular IAA transport (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib6">Bilang <italic>et al.</italic>, 1993</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib7">Bilang and Sturm, 1995</xref>). Thus, it is clear that different auxins and potentially other ligands induce and bind GSTs differently. Beyond this work on auxins, few studies relate GST transcription or expression with accumulation of endogenous substrates. The well-characterized anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in grapevines thus provides an ideal target for analysing transcriptional correlation of GSTs with another family of non-substrate ligands.</p><p>The state of protonation influences the colour of anthocyanins, and in many plant species they are concentrated within structures known as anthocyanic vacuolar inclusions, within the acidic central vacuole (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib62">Pecket and Small, 1980</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib13">Conn <italic>et al.</italic>, 2003</xref>). Their synthesis, however, has been demonstrated to occur predominantly in the cytosol. Indeed for <italic>Arabidopsis</italic>, the anthocyanin biosynthetic complex has been localized to the cytosolic face of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (reviewed in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib81">Winkel, 2004</xref>). Furthermore, the localization of an anthocyanin methyltransferase from <italic>Petunia hybrida</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib40">Jonsson <italic>et al.</italic>, 1983</xref>) and anthocyanin acyltransferases from <italic>Gentiana triflora</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib30">Fujiwara <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>) and <italic>Perilla frutescens</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib83">Yonekura-Sakakibara <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>) to the cytosol suggests that complete anthocyanins, rather than intermediates, are transported into the vacuole.</p><p>Gene knockout and complementation studies have demonstrated that GSTs are indelibly involved in anthocyanin transport. A <italic>Zea mays</italic> knockout mutant of a single GST [<italic>Bronze-2</italic> (<italic>Bz2</italic>)] accumulated anthocyanins in the cytosol only, at concentrations <10% of those found in wild-type lines (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib56">Mueller and Walbot, 2001</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">Goodman <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>). Anthocyanin-transporting GSTs have been identified by large-scale mutagenesis screens in other species, including petunia (<italic>An9</italic>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">Alfenito <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>), carnation (<italic>Fl3</italic>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib43">Larsen <italic>et al.</italic>, 2003</xref>), and <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> (<italic>TT19</italic>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib42">Kitamura <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib42">Kitamura <italic>et al.</italic> (2004)</xref> demonstrated that TT19 played an additional role in seed deposition of proanthocyanidins (tannins). While binding of both Bz2 and An9 to anthocyanins has not been directly shown, various studies have inferred this interaction by the use of equilibrium dialysis and tryptophan quenching with the recombinant proteins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib50">Marrs <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">Mueller <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>). <italic>Bz2</italic> knockout (<italic>bz2</italic>) suspension cells, when complemented with <italic>Bz2</italic> and exposed to [<sup>35</sup>S]GSH, produced <sup>35</sup>S-labelled compounds that co-migrated with anthocyanins when separated by thin-layer chromatography. While this is suggestive of covalent glutathionation <italic>in vivo</italic>, no further analysis was performed on these compounds (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib50">Marrs <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>). Further evidence for ligandin activity in anthocyanin transport is the ability of the petunia An9 protein to complement the <italic>Bz2</italic> mutation, despite the inability of An9 to produce detectable [<sup>35</sup>S]anthocyanin conjugates. Together, these results suggest that only ligandin activity is necessary for anthocyanin transport in these systems (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">Alfenito <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">Mueller <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>). In addition to anthocyanins, GSTs have been shown to bind other flavonoids <italic>in vitro</italic> and be important for their transport (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">Mueller <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib80">Winefield <italic>et al.</italic>, 2006</xref>).</p><p>A proteomics approach, combining affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS)/Edman sequencing was used to clone GSTs from pigmented <italic>Vitis vinifera</italic> cell cultures as putative anthocyanin transport proteins. Characterization of these proteins in <italic>V. vinifera</italic> will enable a better understanding of how transport influences accumulation of anthocyanins in the vacuole. This may assist in the augmentation of anthocyanin accumulation in plant cell cultures, as previous methods including precursor feeding, end-product removal, various biotic and abiotic treatments, and overexpression of transcription factors and enzymes in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway have been largely unsuccessful (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">Grotewold <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib86">Zhang <italic>et al.</italic>, 2002<italic>a</italic></xref>; Grotewald, 2006). This may also facilitate more widespread manipulation of the plant metabolome, enhancing accumulation of desirable compounds including glutathione-bound aromatic compounds (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib80">Winefield <italic>et al.</italic>, 2006</xref>) and other flavonoids.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec><title>Plant cell culture and anthocyanin induction</title><p><italic>Vitis vinifera</italic> cv.

Of the five GST sequences cloned in this study from pigmented suspension cells, there were three type I GSTs (VvGST2, VvGST3, and VvGST4) and two type III GSTs (VvGST1 and VVGST5) based on intron structure and protein sequence alignments.</p><p>Anthocyanin accumulation, including post-biosynthetic steps such as transport into the vacuole, has been shown in various systems to be regulated at the transcriptional level (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib51">Matsui <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib37">Hirai <italic>et al.</italic>, 2005</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib12">Castellarin <italic>et al.</italic>, 2006</xref>).

However, both G-sites and L-sites on the exterior of the protein, thought to be prime candidate regions for binding non-substrate ligands, were shown to be conserved within the VvGST1/Bz2 and VvGST4/An9/ZmGSTIII groups, respectively. These regions were a source of dissimilarity between the otherwise similar VvGST1 and VvGST5, and may contribute to the lack of activity observed for VvGST5 in the maize complementation assay. All these critical binding sites were within 3 Å of the substrate. While ligandin-binding sites have been suggested to reside distinct from the active site (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib54">McTigue <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib38">Ji <italic>et al.</italic>, 1996</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib59">Oakley <italic>et al.</italic>, 1999</xref>), competitive activity has been demonstrated between model substrates (CDNB) and ligandins (anthocyanins, auxins), implicating the same binding site, i.e. the L-site (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">Mueller <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib67">Smith <italic>et al.</italic>, 2003</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib45">Lo Piero <italic>et al.</italic>, 2006</xref>).</p><p>VvGST1 possessed the second highest similarity to Bz2 behind the non-complementing VvGST5, and suggests the involvement of distinct residues in achieving anthocyanin transport. Interestingly, the similarity to Bz2 was proposed as the reason for the slightly higher complementation phenotype of ZmGSTIII as opposed to An9 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">Alfenito <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>). Certainly, the modification of individual flavonoids, by addition or translocation of a glucoside residue in cyanidin or luteolin, leads to a greatly reduced ability to bind An9 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">Mueller <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>).</p><p>Despite the dissimilarity of the dicot and monocot GST sequences, the strongest complementing GST in the dicot grape (VvGST1) is more similar to the monocot maize GST (Bz2) than any of the other transporting GSTs. The other <italic>V. vinifera</italic> GST capable of transport, VvGST4, possessed the highest similarity to the petunia An9 and yielded a similar result in the <italic>bz2</italic> complementation assay (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">Alfenito <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>). Maize and petunia have different dominant anthocyanin species, cyanidin and petunidin/cyanidin, respectively, with different GSTs required for transport being defined by unique consensus sequences inferred in this study. This may reflect the independent evolution of GSTs with regard to the anthocyanin profile within each species, with the prevalence of five anthocyanin compounds in grape requiring a second GST ligandin. In an evolutionary sense, plant GSTs belong to the most ancient class of GSTs, also present in vertebrates, <italic>Drosophila</italic>, and <italic>Methylobacterium</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib48">Mannervik and Danielson, 1988</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib63">Pemble and Taylor, 1992</xref>). This suggests that they are a representative of a progenitor GST arising before the divergence of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, maximizing the potential for independent gene duplication/sequence divergence to facilitate catalytic adaptation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib63">Pemble and Taylor, 1992</xref>).</p><p>As is the case for many secondary metabolite biosynthetic proteins, there is an apparent redundancy with the anthocyanin-transporting GSTs in <italic>V. vinifera</italic>. This redundancy is seen with numerous functional copies of biosynthetic enzymes, including PAL (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib60">Ozeki <italic>et al.</italic>, 1990</xref>), CHS (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib65">Reif <italic>et al.</italic>, 1985</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib28">Durbin <italic>et al.</italic>, 2000</xref>), and CHI (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib75">van Tunen <italic>et al.</italic>, 1988</xref>); but also the putative anthocyanin transport pumps—ZmMRP3 and ZmMRP4 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">Goodman <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>). While maize also boasts two GSTs with transport activity, ZmGSTIII and Bz2, a knockout of the latter abrogates anthocyanin vacuolar deposition (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">Alfenito <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>). This demonstrates a dependency on <italic>Bz2</italic>, yet does not eliminate the possibility of (i) <italic>ZmGSTIII</italic> transcriptional repression in these tissues, or (ii) potential heterodimerization with Bz2 for a functional ligandin. Furthermore, co-cultivation with abscisic acid induces vacuolar deposition of anthocyanins in <italic>bz2</italic> maize kernels, supporting a partial redundancy by the auxin-inducible ZmGSTIII for Bz2, despite its reduced transport capacity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib78">Walbot <italic>et al.</italic>, 1994</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">Alfenito <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>). Analysis of gene expression for ZmGSTIII in abscisic acid-treated <italic>bz2</italic> kernels, or creation of ZmGSTIII knockout maize would be necessary to resolve this. Either of these models may also apply for VvGST1 and VvGST4 in <italic>V. vinifera</italic>.</p><p>Results presented in this study demonstrate the strong correlation between GST proteins, abundance of transcripts encoding them, and anthocyanin accumulation in <italic>V. vinifera</italic>. Specifically, <italic>VvGST1</italic> and <italic>VvGST4</italic> are the most responsive GSTs under synthetic (elicitation) and native (veráison) conditions increasing anthocyanin accumulation, respectively. In support of this, both <italic>VvGST1</italic> and <italic>VvGST4</italic> possess a capacity to complement for the loss of Bz2 in a maize anthocyanin transport complementation assay. Furthermore, the sequence conservation of specific residues in the GSTs contributes to their anthocyanin-transporting phenotype.</p><p>Understanding critical regions in the interaction, GSTs can be manipulated to alter or enhance accumulation of desired compounds, i.e. valuable flavonoids. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">Dixon <italic>et al.</italic> (2005)</xref> advocate the heterodimerization/co-expression, chimera formation, and random mutagenesis/recombination of maize GSTs for enhanced herbicide detoxification. Furthermore, overexpression of certain GSTs may enhance the accumulation of endogenous nutraceuticals, or GST repression may lead to enhanced accumulation of pytochelatins (heavy metal-binding proteins, reviewed in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">Dixon <italic>et al.</italic>, 2005</xref>). These two opposing effects could result in a food source with greater nutrition in poor quality soils.</p></sec><sec><title>Supplementary data</title><p><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/ern217/DC1">Supplementary data</ext-link> for this manuscript detailing primers used for directional cloning of all GSTs and qPCR primers used can be accessed at <italic>JXB</italic> online.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material id="PMC_1" content-type="local-data"><caption><title>[Supplementary Material]</title></caption><media mimetype="text" mime-subtype="html" xlink:href="ern217_index.html"></media><media xlink:role="associated-file" mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="ern217_1.pdf"></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack><p>The authors would like to thank Professor Virginia Walbot for supplying <italic>bronze-2</italic> corn kernels, Drs Mark Alfenito and Dean Goodman for valuable assistance in complementation analysis, and Professor Antony Bacic and Dr Shaio-Lim Mau at the School of Botany, University of Melbourne for Edman sequencing.
