Pi-dependent and genotype-dependent dynamics of Fe accumulation and distribution in
primary root meristems.
(A) Fe accumulation and distribution in primary roots. Seeds were germinated on +Pi+Fe
medium (4 days) and transferred to –Pi+Fe agar prior to Perls/DAB staining. The upper and
lower panels of both time points (0 hr and 50 hr) show the region near the hypocotyl junction and
the root apical region, respectively. Scale bar, 0.5 mm. The higher magnification panels in the
lower two rows show Pi-dependent dynamics of Fe accumulation and distribution in primary
root tips. Prior to Fe staining (Perls/DAB staining) of root tips, seeds were grown as above and
transferred to −Pi+Fe or −Pi−Fe medium (50 hr). Scale bar, 100 µm.
(B) Fe accumulation in whole roots. Seedlings were germinated for 4 days on high Pi (+Pi+Fe)
agar and subsequently transferred to low Pi (−Pi+Fe) medium for up to 3 days prior to Fe
quantification by the spectrophotometric BPS method. In a second experiment, seedlings were
transferred from high Pi control medium (+Pi+Fe; 2.5 mM Pi, 50 µM Fe) to high Pi medium
containing 500 µM Fe. Mean root Fe concentrations (ng Fe/mg root fresh weight) are given
(±SE, n=7-8, p<0.05, Student’s t test).
(C) Comparison of Perls/DAB staining, which detects Fe3+ and some Fe2+, and Turnbull/DAB
staining, which is specific for Fe2+, in Col-0, pdr2 and lpr1lpr2 root tips. Seedlings were
germinated for 4 days on +Pi+Fe agar and subsequently transferred to +Pi+Fe or −Pi+Fe
condition for additional 3 days. Scale bar, 100 µm.
(D) Perls staining (no DAB intensification) of Fe in root tips upon transfer of 4-days-old
seedlings from control agar to the indicated media. Upper panels: Fe detection in the root SCN
after transfer from +Pi+Fe to −Pi+Fe medium for up to 100 hr. The extended time series
contains some data presented in Figure 1D. Scale bar, 25 µm. Center panels: Fe detection in the
root SCN after transfer from +Pi+Fe medium to the indicated media without Fe to demonstrate
specificity of the Perls method. Scale bar, 25 µm. Lower panels: Fe detection in primary root
tips (low magnification; scale bar, 100 µm) and the SCN (high magnification; scale bar, 25 µm)
of Col-0 roots after transfer from +Pi+Fe to −Pi+Fe medium (0 hr and 50 hr). Roots were
cleared using chloral hydrate solution.

Consequences of Pi deprivation on root meristem organization.
(A) Electron micrographs of ultra-thin (90 nm) longitudinal sections of the SCN (lower panels)
and proximal meristem of root tips (upper panels) derived from Col-0 and pdr2 seedlings
experiencing Pi deprivation. Radial root cell layers are indicated (upper panels); and cell types
of the SCN, quiescent center (QC), endodermal cell (E), cortical cell (C), are labeled in yellow
(lower panels). Scale bar, 5 µm.
(B) Propidium iodide (PI) staining of root tips upon transfer of 4-days-old seedlings from +Pi+Fe
to −Pi+Fe medium for up to 40 hr. Red arrows point to dead QC cells in pdr2 roots and to
irregularly shaped stem cells in Col-0 and Sha root meristems. Yellow arrowheads point to
prematurely formed middle cortex cells in Col-0 and Sha root tips. Scale bar, 50 µm. Pie charts:
Statistical analysis of cell death events upon transfer (3 days) from +Pi+Fe to −Pi+Fe condition
in Col-0, pdr2 and lpr1lpr2. The graphs show the percentage of primary roots revealing cell
death within the QC, compared to the occurrence of random cell death events in the surrounding
SCN (no cell death in the QC) and to the complete absence of cell death events in the meristem
(n=71 for Col-0, n=56 for pdr2, n=22 for lpr1lpr2).
(C) Aniline blue staining of callose in Col-0 and pdr2 primary root tips. Seedlings were
germinated for 4 days on +Pi+Fe agar and subsequently transferred for 2 days to +Pi+Fe or
−Pi−Fe medium. Scale bar, 100 µm.

Phenotypes and molecular analysis of CaMV p35S::LPR1 overexpression lines in
comparison with wild-type, pdr2 and lpr1 plants.
(A, E) Seedlings of the indicated genotypes (A) and primary root length (E) after germination
and growth on +Pi+Fe (+Pi) or −Pi+Fe (−Pi) medium for 5 days. Overexpression of LPR1
(p35S::LPR1) caused partial gene silencing and produced progeny of variable primary root
length on –Pi medium. p35S::LPR1 seedlings with a short primary root were selected for the
analyses. Shown are the means of 3 independent experiments (±SD, n=30-40).
(B-D) Root tip morphology (B), Fe detection (C), and callose deposition (D) in primary roots of
the indicated genotypes after germination and growth on +Pi or −Pi medium for 5 days. Scale
bars, 500 m (B) and 100 m (C, D). Data for line #41 are also shown in Figure 5B.
(F-H) Relative LPR1 mRNA expression levels as determined by quantitative RT-PCR (F),
immunoblot analysis of LPR1 protein expression using a peptide-specific anti-LPR1 antibody
(triangle), the upper non-specific band indicates equal loading (G), and ferroxidase activity in
root extracts (H) of the indicated genotypes on +Pi medium. Shown are the means of 3
independent experiments (±SE).

Structural modeling of LPR proteins, prediction of putative Fe2+ binding sites, and cell wall
targeting of GFP~LPR1.
(A) Multiple sequence alignment of Fet3p, Fet5p, LPR1 and LPR2 proteins using the MAFFT
algorithm (Katoh et al., 2002). Highlighted are identical and conserved amino acid residues
(black and grey), conserved His and Cys residues that form the trinuclear (T2/T3) Cu cluster
(blue) and mononuclear (T1) Cu site (olive), and the predicted acidic amino acid residues
binding the Fe2+ substrate (red).
(B) 3D structure of Fet3p (left) and homology model of LPR2 (center). Ribbon representation of
Phyre2 (Kelley and Sternberg, 2009) modeled LPR2 is shown, which adopts the tripartite
cupredoxin fold, containing three Greek key -barrel cupredoxin domains similar to other
multicopper oxidases (MCOs). The trinuclear (T2/T3) Cu cluster of the LPR structures (see
Figure 5E for LPR1) were predicted by 3DLigandSite (Wass et al., 2010) and shown as colored
spheres. The predicted T1 Cu and Fe2+ binding sites of LPR2 (right). The predicted amino acid
residues (sticks) of LPR2 (orange) and Fet3p (green) are presented together with the metal ions
(spheres), T1 Cu (purple) and Fe2+ (red), in structural superimpositions of LPR2 and Fet3p.
(C) Cell wall localization of GFP~LPR1 in transgenic pUBQ10::SPLPR1~GFP~LPR1 lines.
Because all lines showed only low GFP fluorescence, laser intensity was set to a level inducing
autofluorescence in untransformed wild-type controls (Col-0). Under these conditions, all
pUBQ10::SPLPR1~GFP~LPR1 lines tested, but not the control seedlings, showed a distinct GFP
signal in cell walls (red arrows). Cell wall localization was confirmed by co-staining with
propidium iodide (PI) (right panels). This panel contains some data presented in Figure 5I (line
#2). Scale bar 20 µm.

Fe staining (Perls/DAB) of Col-0 and irt1-1 root tips (overview and detail) after seedling (4-
days-old) transfer from +Pi+Fe to +Pi+Fe (+Pi) or −Pi+Fe (−Pi) medium (2 days). Staining time
was decreased compared to images in Figure 1 and Figure S1 to avoid oversaturation. Contrast
and brightness in higher magnification images were increased for better visualization of Fe
staining in the SCN. Arrows point to the QC. Scale bar 100 µm.
SUPPLEMENTAL EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Generation of Transgenic Arabidopsis Lines. For CaMV p35S::LPR1 transgenic Arabidopsis
thaliana (Col-0) plants, the LPR1 coding region was amplified from Arabidopsis cDNA (Col-0)
using the primer pair:
5’- CACCATGGAATCTCTGTTGTGTCGG-3’ /
5’- TCAAATGATGACCTTAAGCGG-3’.
The amplified LPR1 cDNA fragment (1,746 bp) was cloned into the pENTR/D-TOPO vector
(Invitrogen). After sequence verification, the LPR1 cDNA was mobilized into the pB7WG2
binary vector (Karimi et al., 2002), which contains the CaMV 35S promoter-driven expression
cassette, using Gateway LR clonase II (Invitrogen). To generate CaMV
p35S::SPLPR1~eGFP~LPR1 and pUBQ10::SPLPR1~eGFP~LPR1 overexpression lines, the
predicted 84 bp sequence coding for the LPR1 signal peptide (SPLPR1) was amplified using the
primer pair:
5’- ATGGAATCTCTGTTGTGTCGG-3’ /
5’-CTCCTCGCCCTTGCTCACTCCGCACGTGCT-3’.
cDNA fragments of eGFP and LPR1 (without signal peptide) were generated with primer pairs:
5’-AGCACGTGCGGAGTGAGCAAGGGCGAGGAG-3’ /
5’-GTTGGTCCTCGAGCTCCTTGTACAGCTCGTCC-3’ and
5’- GGACGAGCTGTACAAGGAGCTCGAGGACCAAC-3’ /
5’-TCAAATGATGACCTTAAGCGG-3’.
The SPLPR1~eGFP~LPR1 cDNA fragment was generated, mobilized into the pENTR/D-TOPO
vector, and transferred into the pB7WG2 binary vector (Karimi et al., 2002) or the pUBQ10
destination vector (Grefen et al., 2010). To generate transgenic lines expressing the GUS
reporter under control of the LPR1 promoter (pLPR1Col::GFP~GUS), a 2.3 kb fragment of the
LPR1 promoter was amplified from genomic DNA using the primer pair:
5’- CCTAGAATGTTATTGATGTTTCTT-3’ /
5’-TTCTGACAAGTCAATTCAGTTTTGA-3’.
Using GATEWAYTM technology, the LPR1 promoter fragment was transferred into the
pBGWFS7 binary vector, which provides the coding sequence of -glucuronidase (GUS). All
constructs were transformed into wild-type plants (Col-0) by conventional floral-dip infiltration
methods using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101(Clough and Bent, 1998).
Transformants were selected on culture media containing Basta® (Sigma-Aldrich), and all
experiments were carried out using T3 or T4 plants harboring a single T-DNA insert.
Transient Expression in Tobacco. Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation of tobacco
leaves (Nicotiana benthamiana) was performed as described (Burstenbinder et al., 2013).
Determination of Root Fe Content. Fe content of whole roots was determined by a
spectrophotometric assay (Tamarit et al., 2006). Entire roots were removed, frozen in liquid
nitrogen (approx. 50 mg FW), ground to a fine powder, and extracted overnight in 350 l 3%
(v/v) nitric acid at 95 oC. After treatment of the cleared lysate with Na-ascorbate to reduce iron,
the Fe2+ concentration was determined after complex formation with bathophenanthroline
disulfonic acid (BPS) (Sigma-Aldrich) at 535 nm.
Electron Microscopy. Seedlings were fixed (4 hr) in 100 mM Na-cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2),
4% (v/v) glutaraldehyde. After postfixation (30 min) in the same buffer and 1% (w/v) OsO4,
plants were dehydrated in a graded ethanol series (10-30-50-70-90-100%), which included a 1%
(w/v) uranyl acetate staining step at 70% ethanol (1 hr). Roots were infiltrated with Spurr’s
epoxy resin (EM0300, Sigma-Aldrich) by incubation in a series of EtOH dilutions according to
the manufacturer’s protocol. After polymerization at 70 oC (12 hr), ultra-thin sections (90 nm)
were prepared with an Ultramicrotome S (Leica), stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate
using an EM Stain (Leica) and imaged with a Zeiss Libra 120 TEM operating at 120 kV. Images
were taken by a Dual-Speed on axis SSCCD camera BM-2k-120 (Moorenweis). Immunogold
labeling of callose was performed using a monoclonal -1,3-glucan antibody (#400-2,
Biosupplies) in combination with a goat anti-mouse 10 nm gold conjugated secondary antibody
(#G7777, Sigma-Aldrich). Sections were poststained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and
imaged as above.
NanoSIMS Analysis. Roots were fixed as described for electron microscopy albeit the uranyl-
acetate staining step was omitted. Root sections (1 µm) were deposited onto a droplet of water on
Thermanox coverslips coated with 20 nm of platinum and stretched flat on a hotplate.
Subsequently, the samples and substrates were coated with 10 nm platinum to ensure
conductance. High resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis was done using a
CAMECA NanoSIMS 50 (CAMECA, France). A 16 keV Cs+ ion beam focused to
approximately 100 nm with a beam current of 1.4-1.7 pA was scanned over the section surface.
The resulting negative secondary ions generated during this process were analyzed according to
their mass using a double focusing mass spectrometer. The five detectors were carefully tuned
using standards of GaP and steel to detect 16O-, 12C14N-, 31P-, 31P16O- and 56Fe16O- taking care to
avoid mass interferences (Moore et al., 2012). Iron was detected as 56Fe16O- as described
previously (Moore et al., 2012). For each area a dose of 1 x 1017 Cs+ ions cm-2 was implanted by
continuously scanning a large defocused beam to remove the platinum coating and ensure that
the sample was at steady state. Images (50 x 50 µm) were acquired at a resolution of 256 x 256
pixels. Dwell times were 60 ms per pixel and for each region of interest, several sequential
images were taken to improve the statistics as the 56Fe16O- signal was quite low. The stack of
images was then summed together using ImageJ and the OpenMIMS plug-in (Harvard) and are
presented as a single image and as a red green color merge.
GUS Staining. Four independent transgenic pLPR1Col::GUS lines (single insert) were identified
and grown for 4 days on +Pi+Fe medium before transfer to the indicated media. GUS staining
was performed by incubation of seedlings in GUS-staining solution (50 mM Na-phosphate,
pH7.2; 0.5 mM K3Fe(CN)6; 0.5 mM K4Fe(CN)6; 2mM X-Gluc; 10mM EDTA; 0,1% TritonX) at
37°C (Wong et al., 1996).
ROS Imaging. The presence of ROS was determined in root tips as described (Freeman et al.,
2004). Seedlings were stained with 10 µM Carboxy-H2DCFDA (Invitrogen) for 10 min and
subsequently imaged without removal of the dye to allow ROS detection at cell walls.
For controls, roots were briefly rinsed to remove extracellular dye. The ability of the dye to
report apoplastic ROS formation was confirmed by application of 10 mM H2O2, which
significantly increased intracellular and cell wall localized fluorescence. For superoxide staining,
seedlings were incubated for 45 min in a 0.5 mg/ml Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) (AppliChem)
solution in 100 mM Na-phosphate buffer, pH 7.2 (Tyburski et al., 2009).
LPR1 mRNA Expression Analysis. Total RNA was prepared from about 100 mg seedlings by
using the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen). RNA samples were DNase treated (DNase set;
Qiagen) and quantified. cDNA was prepared using 4-5 g total RNA, which was reverse
transcribed by using oligo(dT) with a First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Fermentas) according to
the manufacturer’s protocol. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed with diluted (1:10) first
strand cDNA template on a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System with Fast SYBR Green Mix
(Applied Biosystems). The following LPR1 specific primers were used:
5’-GCCGACGCGTGGTTCACTGCC-3’ and 5’-AGGCGCCTACCAAACCGGCAAGG-3’.
The reported fold induction was analyzed by the ∆Ct method and normalized to the endogenous
PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) control, using the PP2A primers 5’-
CCTGCGGTAATAACTGCATC-3’ and 5’-TGGTCGACTATCGGAATGAG-3’.
LPR1 Immunoblot Analysis. Polyclonal LPR1 epitope-specific antibodies were raised in
rabbits against a synthetic peptide (LPR1: 402-YPNADVSNA-410) and affinity-purified
(immunoGlobe, Himmelstadt, Germany). Total proteins were extracted from frozen-powdered
roots of 6-days-old seedlings in the extraction buffer [50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl,
0.5 mM EDTA, 10% (v/v) glycerol, containing complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-
Aldrich)], using a ratio of 150 l extraction buffer per 100 mg root material. The supernatant was
collected after centrifugation at 20,000 x g for 10 min (4 oC). After determination of the protein
concentration (2D-Quant, GE Healthcare), protein samples were separated in 10% SDS/PAGE
gels and transferred to Protran nitrocellulose membranes (Semi-Dry-Blot, GE Healthcare). After
transfer, membranes were exposed to blocking buffer [1xPBS, 0.05% Tween, 2.5% milk
powder] at room temperature for 2 hr. To detect LPR1, membranes were incubated overnight in
blocking buffer containing 0.1 g/ml affinity-purified, peptide-specific anti-LPR1 antibody at 4
oC. Horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BioRad) was chosen as a secondary
antibody, and the Super Signal West Pico Chemiluminescent kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was
used to detect signals derived from the antibodies (Alpha Innotech Multiimager III). GFP~LPR1
and GFP were detected using rabbit polyclonal anti-GFP (Sigma-Aldrich). Mouse monoclonal
anti-actin (plant) (Santa Cruz) was used for loading controls. Alternatively, membranes were
stained with Ponceau S to visualize total proteins as loading reference.
Cell Wall Protein Extraction. Cell wall proteins were sequentially extracted form suspension-
cultured Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) cells as described (Robertson et al., 1997). Cells were
harvested 7-8 days after subculture by filtration through 3 layers of miracloth and washed three
times with ddH2O (3 ml g-1 fresh weight). The subsequent steps were sequentially performed
with the same cells at 4°C. Cells were stirred for 30 min in 3 volumes of 0.2 M CaCl2, collected
by filtration (miracloth) and washed as above. This step was followed by three more extractions
with 2 mM DTT, 1 M NaCl, and 0.2 M borate, pH 7.5. The borate extraction was carried out at
room temperature. Between extractions cells were washed with ddH2O on the filter as described
above. Aliquots of extracts (15 ml) were dialyzed twice for 1 hr at 4 °C against 400 ml of ddH2O
with a subsequent dialysis overnight. Dialyzed extracts were lyophilized for 2 days. Lyophilized
samples were dissolved in 150-300 µl of protein buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7,5; 150 mM NaCl;
10% Glycerol; 0,1 mM PMSF; plant protease inhibitor cocktail [Sigma 1:100]). 4 x SDS PAGE
sample buffer was added and 35 µl were loaded on a 10 % SDS Gel.
