LIKE EARLY STARVATION 1 and EARLY STARVATION 1 promote and stabilize amylopectin phase transition in starch biosynthesis

Résumé

Starch, the most abundant carbohydrate reserve in plants, primarily consists of the branched glucan amylopectin, which forms semi-crystalline granules. Phase transition from a soluble to an insoluble form depends on amylopectin architecture, requiring a compatible distribution of glucan chain lengths and a branch-point distribution. Here, we show that two starch-bound proteins, LIKE EARLY STARVATION 1 (LESV) and EARLY STARVATION 1 (ESV1), which have unusual carbohydrate-binding surfaces, promote the phase transition of amylopectin-like glucans, both in a heterologous yeast system expressing the starch biosynthetic machinery and in Arabidopsis plants. We propose a model wherein LESV serves as a nucleating role, with its carbohydrate-binding surfaces helping align glucan double helices to promote their phase transition into semi-crystalline lamellae, which are then stabilized by ESV1. Because both proteins are widely conserved, we suggest that protein-facilitated glucan crystallization may be a general and previously unrecognized feature of starch biosynthesis.
