植物蛋白激酶与作物非生物胁迫抗性的研究

干旱、盐碱、高温等非生物逆境胁迫严重影响作物生长发育、产量和品质。在遭受非生物逆境的威胁时,植物通过信号受体,可感知、转导胁迫信号,启动一系列抗逆相关基因的表达,最终缓解或抵御非生物逆境胁迫对植物造成的危害。其中,蛋白激酶和蛋白磷酸酯酶的磷酸化/去磷酸化作用在植物感受外界胁迫信号的分子传递过程中起到开关的作用。正常情况下,蛋白激酶磷酸化开启信号转导途径,启动相应的抗逆基因表达反应;当信号消失后,蛋白激酶去磷酸化将信号转导途径关闭,达到调控植物正常生长的目的。因此,蛋白激酶在调控感受胁迫信号、启动各种非生物逆境胁迫响应中起到了极其重要的作用。近年来,对植物蛋白激酶参与非生物胁迫响应的研究倍受关注。本文阐述了不同类型蛋白激酶在改良作物非生物胁迫抗性上的应用,为进一步研究提供资料。     

植物抗逆相关蛋白激酶的结构与功能

植物在遭受外界逆境胁迫时,体内的信号传导系统能够感知、传递逆境胁迫信号,并引起各种生理生化反应以适应环境。植物蛋白激酶在信号感知、传导以及基因的表达调控中起重要的作用。蛋白激酶在信号传导过程的功能是磷酸化修饰目的蛋白,而磷酸化的实现需要蛋白质之间相互作用。本文从植物蛋白激酶的结构、分类、与激素信号传导之间的关系等方面进行了系统的阐述,对蛋白激酶介导的植物抗性与发育的最新研究进展进行了系统的总结,为解析蛋白激酶在植物生长发育中的抗逆机理提供依据。

植物蛋白激酶介导的非生物胁迫和激素信号转导途径的研究进展

干旱、盐渍、低温和高温等非生物胁迫严重影响植物的生长发育和作物的产量。在长期的进化过程中,植物逐渐形成了对外部刺激快速感知和主动适应的能力,其中植物体内逆境信号的传递在植物快速感知外部刺激和主动适应非生物胁迫过程中起着非常重要的作用。蛋白激酶和蛋白磷酸酶催化的蛋白质磷酸化和去磷酸化是植物体内存在的最普遍且最重要的信号转导调节方式。其中,蛋白激酶的主要作用是将ATP或GTP上的γ磷酸基团转移到特定的底物蛋白上,使蛋白磷酸化,被磷酸化的蛋白发挥相应的生理功能。近年来,利用生物技术和基因工程等手段从细胞、分子水平上研究有关蛋白激酶的抗逆机理,通过基因沉默、基因过表达等策略提高植物的抗逆性成为国内外抗逆分子生物学与分子育种学研究的热点。本文主要对植物蛋白激酶在介导非生物胁迫和激素信号通路中的作用进行综述,为进一步研究植物蛋白激酶功能提供有价值的信息。     

MAPK级联及其在植物抗病防卫反应中的研究进展

促分裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)级联信号转导途径参与了生物体生长发育和抗逆胁迫生理。植物MAPK级联途径一般由三个丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶组分构成:包括MAPKKK(MEKK、MAP3K)、MAPKK(MEK)和MAPK。植物在响应外界环境刺激时,MAPKKK首先被自磷酸化激活,依次通过磷酸化激活MAPKK和MAPK,进而将外界信号在细胞内传递从而调控目标基因的表达。MAPK级联途径参与植物激素、生物胁迫、非生物胁迫等过程的信号传递,本文就MAPK级联途径在植物抗病防卫反应中的研究进展进行综述。     

蛋白质可逆磷酸化调节植物细胞离子跨膜运动研究进展

高等植物中蛋白磷酸酶2C的结构与功能

蛋白质磷酸化／去磷酸化是生物信号级联传递的重要方式之一,主要通过生化性质互为对立的蛋白激酶和蛋白磷酸酶实现。蛋白磷酸酶2C(PP2C)是蛋白磷酸酶的一个分支,其生化性质、蛋白质组成与结构都和其他磷酸酶显著不同,但都在生物信号传递中扮演重要角色。高等植物中PP2C广泛参与脱落酸(ABA)的各种信号途径,包括ABA诱导的种子萌发／休眠、保卫细胞及离子通道调控和气孔关闭、逆境胁迫等。PP2C也多样地参与植物创伤反应、生长发育以及抗病性等各个途径。作为大多数信号途径的负调控因子,PP2C能直接与激酶结合,与其他调控蛋白结合,以及直接与DNA结合调控相关基因的表达。     

从水分胁迫的识别到ABA积累的细胞信号转导

由于植物在生长和发育过程中不可避免地要遭受各种环境胁迫的影响,植物只有通过对环境胁迫的快速感知和主动反应才得以生存和发展.植物这种对环境胁迫的快速感知和主动反应体现在环境胁迫下植物可以通过一系列基因的表达调控来实现各种抗逆的生理生化反应.虽然得以鉴定的水分胁迫应答基因越来越多,但其中只有极少的基因在抗逆中的基本功能已得到初步认识.从细胞对水分胁迫原初信号的感知到基因表达调控包括了一系列复杂的细胞逆境信息传递过程.脱落酸(abscisic acid, ABA)作为重要的细胞逆境信号物质介导了一系列基因表达,因此从细胞对水分胁迫原初信号的感知到编码ABA生物合成关键酶基因的表达是一条最为关键的细胞逆境信息传递途径.逆境应答基因功能的鉴定以及对整个细胞信号传递过程中详尽的分子机制的了解无疑是今后最有趣的也是最为重要的研究课题.     

植物体内干旱信号的传递与基因表达

干旱是严重影响植物生长发育的重要环境胁迫因子之一。干旱能影响植物的水分状态,使植物缺水遭受伤害。近年来,相继从拟南芥等植物中克隆出了一些受干旱诱导的基因,如蛋白激酶基因、光合基因、渗透调节基因、功能蛋白基因（如LEA基因）等。干旱等胁迫信号经历一系列的传递过程,最后诱导这些特定基因的表达。在植物体中,可能存在依赖ABA型和不依赖ABA型两条干旱信号的传递途径。近年来从高等植物中分离出一系列调控干旱相关基因表达的转录因子,通过转录因子之间以及与其它相关蛋白之间的相互作用,激活或抑制干旱等胁迫因子诱导的基因表达。     

Protein kinases in plant responses to drought,salt, and cold stress

Protein kinases are major players in various signal transduction pathways. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses has become critical for developing and breeding climate-resilient crops. In this review,we summarize recent progress on understanding plant drought, salt, and cold stress responses, with a focus on signal perception and transduction by different protein kinases, especially sucrose nonfermenting1(SNF1)-related protein kinases(Sn RKs),mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) cascades,calcium-dependent protein kinases(CDPKs/CPKs),and receptor-like kinases(RLKs). We also discuss future challenges in these research fields.     

Activation of a nuclear-localized SIPK in tobacco cells challenged by cryptogein, an elicitor of plant defence reactions

When a plant cell is challenged by a well-defined stimulus, complex signal transduction pathways are activated to promote the modulation of specific sets of genes and eventually to develop adaptive responses. In this context, protein phosphorylation plays a fundamental role through the activation of multiple protein kinase families. Although the involvement of protein kinases at the plasma membrane and cytosolic levels are now well-documented, their nuclear counterparts are still poorly investigated. In the field of plant defence reactions, no known study has yet reported the activation of a nuclear protein kinase and/or its nuclear activity in plant cells, although some protein kinases, e.g. MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), are known to be translocated into the nucleus. In the present study, we investigated the ability of cryptogein, a proteinaceous elicitor of tobacco defence reactions, to induce different nuclear protein kinase activities. We found that at least four nuclear protein kinases are activated in response to cryptogein treatment in a time-dependent manner, some of them exhibiting Ca(2+)-dependent activity. The present study focused on one 47 kDa protein kinase with a Ca(2+)-independent activity, closely related to the MAPK family. After purification and microsequencing, this protein kinase was formally identified as SIPK (salicyclic acid-induced protein kinase), a biotic and abiotic stress-activated MAPK of tobacco. We also showed that cytosolic activation of SIPK is not sufficient to promote a nuclear SIPK activity, the latter being correlated with cell death. In that way, the present study provides evidence of a functional nuclear MAPK activity involved in response to an elicitor treatment.     

Signaling through MAP kinase networks in plants

Protein phosphorylation is the most important mechanism for controlling many fundamental cellular processes in all living organisms including plants. A specific class of serine/threonine protein kinases, the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAP kinases) play a central role in the transduction of various extra- and intracellular signals and are conserved throughout eukaryotes. These generally function via a cascade of networks, where MAP kinase (MAPK) is phosphorylated and activated by MAPK kinase (MAPKK), which itself is activated by MAPKK kinase (MAPKKK). Signaling through MAP kinase cascade can lead to cellular responses including cell division, differentiation as well as response to various stresses. In plants, MAP kinases are represented by multigene families and are organized into a complex network for efficient transmission of specific stimuli. Putative plant MAP kinase cascades have been postulated based on experimental analysis of in vitro interactions between specific MAP kinase components. These cascades have been tested in planta following expression of epitope-tagged kinases in protoplasts. It is known that signaling for cell division and stress responses in plants are mediated through MAP kinases and even auxin, ABA and possibly ethylene and cytokinin also utilize a MAP kinase pathway. Most of the biotic (pathogens and pathogen-derived elicitors) including wounding and abiotic stresses (salinity, cold, drought, and oxidative) can induce defense responses in plants through MAP kinase pathways. In this article we have covered the historical background, biochemical assay, activation/inactivation, and targets of MAP kinases with emphasis on plant MAP kinases and the responses regulated by them. The cross-talk between plant MAP kinases is also discussed to bring out the complexity within this three-component module.

环境胁迫下植物MAPK多叠级联响应

植物MAP(mitogen-activated protein)激酶涉及植物的生长发育、对内源和外界环境刺激的反应.MAP激酶能将胞外感受器引起的刺激传递到胞内引起细胞的反应.拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)作为模式植物,其全部的MAP激酶已经列出并进行了分类.根据已分类的拟南芥MAP激酶家族,已经分离出大量的MAP激酶基因,并将它们进行分类,发现它们大多能被包括病原、创伤、温度、干旱、盐、渗透、紫外线辐射、臭氧和活性氧等胁迫刺激激活.通过研究在不同环境胁迫下的功能和信号路径,发现植物MAP激酶信号传递系统是复杂且相互交错的.需要开发一些新的工具和策略去阐明MAPK信号传递路径,以及如何利用MAPK系统去改善农作物对生物和非生物胁迫的抗性.     

An Arabidopsis protein phosphorylated in response to microbial elicitation, AtPHOS32, is a substrate of MAP kinases 3 and 6

Although mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been shown to be activated by a wide range of biotic and abiotic stimuli in diverse plant species, few in vivo substrates for these kinases have been identified. While studying proteins that are differentially phosphorylated upon treatment of Arabidopsis suspension cultures with the general bacterial elicitor peptide flagellin-22 (flg22), we identified two proteins with endogenous nickel binding properties that become phosphorylated after flg22 elicitation. These highly related proteins, AtPHOS32 and AtPHOS34, show similarity to bacterial universal stress protein A. We identified one of the phosphorylation sites on AtPHOS32 by nanoelectrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Phosphorylation in a phosphoSer-Pro motif indicated that this protein may be a substrate of MAPKs. Using in vitro kinase assays, we confirmed that AtPHOS32 is a substrate of both AtMPK3 and AtMPK6. Specificity of phosphorylation was demonstrated by site-directed mutagenesis of the first phosphorylation site. In addition, immunosubtraction of both MAPKs from protein extracts removed detectable kinase activity toward AtPHOS32, indicating that the two MAPKs were the predominate kinases recognizing the motif in this protein. Finally, the target phosphorylation site in AtPHOS32 is conserved in AtPHOS34 and among apparent orthologues from many plant species, indicating that phosphorylation of these proteins by AtMPK3 and AtMPK6 orthologues has been conserved throughout evolution.
