Cytokinin receptor-dependent and receptor-independent pathways in the dehydration response of Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cytokinin signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana utilizes a multi-step two-component signaling (TCS) system comprised of sensor histidine kinases (AHKs), histidine phosphotransfer proteins (AHPs), and response regulators (ARRs). Recent studies have suggested that the cytokinin TCS system is involved in a variety of other signaling and metabolic pathways. To further explore a potential function of the cytokinin TCS in the Arabidopsis dehydration stress response, we investigated the expression of all type-A ARR genes and a type-C ARR, ARR22, in both wild type and ahk single, double, and triple mutants in response to dehydration compared to cytokinin as well as dehydration tolerance of ahk mutants. We found that drought significantly induced the expression of a subset of ARR genes, ARR5, ARR7, ARR15, and ARR22. The results of expression analyses in ahk single, double, and triple mutants demonstrated that the cytokinin receptors AHK2 and AHK3 are redundantly involved in dehydration-inducible expression of ARR7, but not that of ARR5, ARR15, or ARR22. Dehydration tolerance assays showed that ahk2 and ahk3 single mutants exhibited enhanced dehydration tolerance compared with that of wild-type plants and ahk4 mutants, and that ahk2 ahk3 double mutants exhibited stronger drought tolerance than that of ahk3 ahk4, which exhibited more enhanced drought tolerance than that of wild-type plants and ahk single mutants. Taken together, these results demonstrate that while the cytokinin receptors AHK2 and AHK3 are critically involved in the dehydration tolerance response, both cytokinin receptor-dependent pathway and receptor-independent pathway occur in the dehydration response regulating ARR gene expression. In addition, preincubating ahk2, ahk3, ahk4, and the wild-type plants with cytokinin induced enhanced dehydration stress tolerance in these plants, demonstrating that cytokinins are involved in regulating plant response to dehydration stress. 相似文献

Background
The Arabidopsis response regulator 22 (ARR22) is one of two members of a recently defined novel group of two-component system (TCS) elements. TCSs are stimulus perception and response modules of prokaryotic origin, which signal by a His-to-Asp phosphorelay mechanism. In plants, TCS regulators are involved in hormone response pathways, such as those for cytokinin and ethylene. While the functions of the other TCS elements in Arabidopsis, such as histidine kinases (AHKs), histidine-containing phosphotransfer proteins (AHPs) and A-type and B-type ARRs are becoming evident, the role of ARR22 is poorly understood. 相似文献6.

S-adenosyl-L: -homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) is a key enzyme for maintenance of cellular transmethylation potential. Although a cytokinin-binding activity had been hypothesized for SAHH, the relation between cytokinin and transmethylation reactions has not been elucidated. Here we show that, of the two Arabidopsis thaliana SAHH genes, AtSAHH1 has a much higher expression level than AtSAHH2. A T-DNA insertion mutant of AtSAHH1 (sahh1-1) and the RNA interference (RNAi) plants (dsAtSAHH2) accumulated a higher level of cytokinins, exhibited phenotypic changes similar to those of cytokinin-overproducers, and their global DNA methylation status was reduced. On the other hand, cytokinins positively regulate the transmethylation pathway genes, including AtSAHH1, AtADK1 (for adenosine kinase), and this regulation involves the cytokinin activity. Furthermore, expression of three cytosine DNA methyltransferase genes examined was inducible by cytokinin treatment. Unlike adenine and adenosine which are SAHH inhibitors, the adenine-type cytokinins have no effect on SAHH activity at protein level. Changing of endogenous cytokinin levels by transgene expression resulted in alterations of DNA methylation status in the sahh1-1 background, suggesting that cytokinins promote DNA methylation, at least under transmethylation stringent conditions. These data demonstrate that the phytohormone cytokinin plays a role in promoting transmethylation reactions, including DNA methylation. 相似文献

Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing single Arabidopsis thaliana cytokinin dehydrogenase (CKX, EC 1.5.99.12) genes AtCKX1, AtCKX2, AtCKX3, AtCKX4, AtCKX5, AtCKX6, and AtCKX7 under the control of a constitutive 35S promoter were tested for CKX-enzymatic activity with varying pH, electron acceptors,
and substrates. This comparative analysis showed that out of these, only AtCKX2 and AtCKX4 were highly active enzymes in reaction
with isoprenoid cytokinins (N
6
-(2-isopentenyl)adenine (iP), zeatin (Z)) and their ribosides using the artificial electron acceptors 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol
(DCPIP) or 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (Q0). Turnover rates of these cytokinins by four other AtCKX isoforms (AtCKX1, AtCKX3, AtCKX5, and AtCKX7) were substantially
lower, whereas activity of AtCKX6 was almost undetectable. The isoenzymes AtCKX1 and AtCKX7 showed significant preference
for cytokinin glycosides, especially N
6
-(2-isopentenyl)adenine 9-glucoside, under weakly acidic conditions. All enzymes preferentially cleave isoprenoid cytokinins
in the presence of an electron acceptor, but aromatic cytokinins are not resistant and are degraded with lower reaction rates
as well. Cytokinin nucleotides, considered as resistant to CKX attack until now, were found to be potent substrates for some
of the CKX isoforms. Substrate specificity of AtCKXs is discussed in this study with respect to the structure of the CKX active
site. Further biochemical characterization of the AtCKX1, AtCKX2, AtCKX4 and AtCKX7 enzymes showed pH-dependent activity profiles. 相似文献

Plant hormones influence the key parameters that contribute to crop yield, including biomass, branching and seed number. We tested manipulation of cytokinin signaling as an avenue for influencing these growth parameters. Here we report a full-length cDNA coding for a cytokinin binding protein, Petunia cytokinin binding protein (PETCBP) from Petunia hybrida cv. Mitchell. PETCBP encodes for a protein that exhibits high sequence similarity to S-adenosyl-L: -homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH). Transgenic petunia plants expressing this gene in antisense orientation displayed profuse branching, delayed flowering and delayed shoot bud induction from leaf explants in vitro. Homologs were also isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana homology-dependent gene silencing 1 (HOG1) and Orzya sativa (OsCBP). Arabidopsis HOG1 showed high affinity cytokinin binding activity and modified plant architecture similar to PETCBP. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing HOG1 showed early flowering with a significantly reduced plant biomass and number of leaves. In contrast, profuse branching, delayed flowering, increased leaf size and higher seed yield were the major phenotypes observed in the antisense suppression lines. These results suggest that genetic manipulation of this cytokinin binding protein or its orthologs could be used for improving crop biomass and seed yield. 相似文献

Some strains of the soil bacterium Rhodococcus fascians maintain an epiphytic life style while others become endophytic. Virulent, endophytic strains cause multiple shoot growth and inhibit root growth of seed-inoculated Pisum sativum L. We were interested in assessing, at the molecular level, the impact of strains of contrasting niche on the emerging shoots and roots of inoculated seeds. The presence of R. fascians was monitored microscopically, endogenous cytokinin and chlorophyll levels were measured, and the expression of genes monitored by RT-qPCR. The expression of the pea sugar transporter genes (SWEET and SUT), amino acid (AAP) transporters and cell wall invertase gene family members, as well as expression of plant and bacterial cytokinin biosynthesis (IPT), activation (LOG) and degradation (CKX) genes were monitored. Both the virulent strain and the epiphytic strain affected the expression of the transporter genes, with less obvious differences between the strains on the shoot compared with the effect on the root. Strong expression of the R. fascians genes, RfIPT, RfLOG and RfCKX, in pea seedlings at 15 days post inoculation was mirrored by increased expression of transporter gene family members in the plant. However, the elevated levels of isopentenyl adenine-type and zeatin-type cytokinins were not consistently associated with the virulent strain. In conclusion, while both the virulent strain and the epiphytic strain impacted the expression of transporter genes in the shoots and roots, only the virulent strain affected morphology. The inhibited root growth, the greening of the roots, and the expression of the pea response regulators in the infected roots are indicative of a response to cytokinin, but a role for the ‘classical’ cytokinins as virulence determinants was not established. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis thaliana AHK4 histidine kinase (also known as CRE1 or WOL) acts as a cytokinin signal transducer, presumably, in concert with downstream components, such as histidine-containing phosphotransfer factors (AHPs) and response regulators (ARRs), through the histidine-to-aspartate (His-->Asp) phosphorelay. Among 10 members of the type-A ARR family, the cytokinin-induced expression of ARR15 in roots is selectively impaired in the cre1-1 mutant, which carries a mutation in the AHK4 gene, suggesting a link between this type-A response regulator and the AHK4-mediated cytokinin signal transduction in roots. To address this issue further, we characterized a T-DNA insertion mutant of ARR15, and also constructed transgenic lines (referred to as ARR15-ox) that overexpress the ARR15 gene in a manner independent of cytokinin. While the T-DNA insertion mutant (arr15-1) showed no apparent phenotype, the cytokinin-independent overexpression of ARR15 in ARR15-ox plants resulted in a reduced sensitivity toward exogenously applied cytokinin, not only in elongation of roots in plants, but also in green callus formation (or shoot formation) in explants. Cytokinin-induced expressions of certain type-A ARRs were also down-regulated in ARR15-ox plants. These results support the view that ARR15 acts as a repressor that mediates a negative feedback loop in the cytokinin and AHK4-mediated His-->Asp phosphorelay. 相似文献

Cytokinins are plant hormones that regulate diverse aspects of plant growth and development. Arabidopsis cytokinin signal transduction utilizes a multi-step two-component signaling (TCS) system by histidyl–aspartidyl phosphorelays.
We here show that phosphorylation of ARR7, an A-type response regulator that acts as a negative regulator of cytokinin signaling,
is required for its function in plants. Phosphorylation of ARR7 is inhibited in vitro by mutation in a putative phospho-accepting
Asp residue into an Asn residue (ARR7D85N). While ectopic expression of ARR7 decreases root-growth inhibition, callus formation, and cytokinin-inducible gene expression, overexpression of ARR7
D85N
at the similar level does not generate these phenotypes. ARR7D85N is localized to the nucleus and the half-life of this mutant protein is similar to that of ARR7 in Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts. These results suggest that the phosphorylation of ARR7 is necessary for ARR7-mediated cytokinin response. 相似文献
