植物抗病反应的信号传导网络

植物由抗病基因介导的防卫过程存在一系列生理生化和分子生物学反应,这些反应从病原菌侵染点开始的超敏反应(HR)并延伸到远处组织的系统抗性或获得性抗性(SAR),受制于一种信号传导网络的调控。这个信号系统由抗病蛋白和病原菌非毒性蛋白在一种配体-受体的互作模式下激发,并由信号分子H2O2,NO和系统信号分子SA,JA和乙烯和通过关键调控基因传递和放大,最终诱导一系列防卫反应基因的表达和代谢的变化而产生抗性。植物防卫信号的产生有类似于动物免疫系统因子的介导,并可由非寄主病原菌或诱导子诱发。这些信号途径所产生的广谱抗性为植物抗病基因工程的应用奠定了基础。

Signal Molecules for Plant Defense Responses to Biotic Stress

Plants are capable of recognizing the penetrating pathogens and of responding to their attack by the activation of the defense systems. Signal transduction from the receptor to the cell genome is required for this activation. Recently, signal molecules have been found, which are involved in the signal transduction triggered in response to biotic stress. The data accumulated imply the presence of a complex and well-coordinated signal network in plant cells. This net controls plant defense responses to pathogen attacks.     

MAP kinase cascades in elicitor signal transduction

 Protein kinases play important roles in elicitor signal transduction. In this article, I describe the current view of the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades in elicitor signal transduction of plant cells based on our own research and recent developments in this field. In the past several years, it has become apparent that MAPK cascades play important roles in elicitor signal transduction in plants. Our early studies demonstrated the identification of p47 MAPK in tobacco as an elicitor-responsive protein kinase and possible involvement of p47 MAPK in elicitor signal transduction to induce defense responses, including defense gene expression and hypersensitive cell death. However, the molecular identity of p47 MAPK is still unclear. Recent important studies suggest that tobacco MAPK cascades that include SIPK, and/or WIPK, and NtMEK2, an upstream kinase for both SIPK and WIPK, have a crucial function in induction of defense responses and hypersensitive cell death. The orthologs of these protein kinases in Arabidopsis and alfalfa are also suggested to have similar functions. Furthermore, the identification of loss-of-function mutation in Arabidopsis reveals a negative regulatory role for putative MAPK cascades in plant defense mechanisms.

Protein kinases in elicitor signal transduction in plant cells

Plants have the ability to respond to pathogen invasion by specific defense reactions. Components of mammalian signal transduction chains have been identified in plants, and several lines of evidence have implicated such components in elicitor signal transmission in defense responses. In particular, it has been assumed that elicitor signals are transduced via a protein kinase cascade, although the identity of the protein kinases and the function of the phosphorylated proteins remain to be determined. The purpose of this review is to discuss the roles of protein kinases in elicitor signal transduction pathways in plant cells based on recent progress in this field.     

Systemic elevation of phosphatidic acid and lysophospholipid levels in wounded plants

Plants develop systemic defense responses upon exposure to pathogens or wounding by herbivores. Lipids and lipid metabolites have previously been implicated in induction of defense molecules during plant responses to physical wounding. Possible involvement of changes in lipid composition in systemic wound signal transduction was examined in leaves of seedlings of several different plant species. In the wounded tomato leaf, phosphatidic acid increased approximately fourfold within 5 min whereas lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine increased over twofold within 15 min of wounding. Similar changes in these lipids were observed in the neighboring non-wounded leaf. In broad bean, soybean, sunflower and pepper seedlings phosphatidic acid levels increased rapidly and systemically upon wounding. The results suggest that the role of phospholipid hydrolysis and accumulation of lipid metabolites in the early events are responsible for systemic wound signal transduction in plants. Furthermore, they indicate that the wound signal propagates outside the wounded leaf within 5 min in these plants.     

Identification of a Soluble,High-Affinity Salicylic Acid-Binding Protein in Tobacco

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key component in the signal transduction pathway(s), leading to the activation of certain defense responses in plants after pathogen attack. Previous studies have identified several proteins, including catalase and ascorbate peroxidase, through which the SA signal might act. Here we describe a new SA-binding protein. This soluble protein is present in low abundance in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves and has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 25,000. It reversibly binds SA with an apparent dissociation constant of 90 nM, an affinity that is 150-fold higher than that between SA and catalase. The ability of most analogs of SA to compete with labeled SA for binding to this protein correlated with their ability to induce defense gene expression and enhanced resistance. Strikingly, benzothiadiazole, a recently described chemical activator that induces plant defenses and disease resistance at very low rates of application, was the strongest competitor, being much more effective than unlabeled SA. The possible role of this SA-binding protein in defense signal transduction is discussed.     

The role of G-proteins in plant immunity

Heterotrimeric G-proteins play an important regulatory role in multiple physiological processes, including the plant immune response, and substantial progress has been made in elucidating the G-protein-mediated defense-signaling network. This mini-review discusses the importance of G-proteins in plant immunity. We also provide an overview of how G-proteins affect plant cell death and stomatal movement. Our recent studies demonstrated that G-proteins are involved in signal transduction and induction of stomatal closure and defense responses. We also discuss future directions for G-protein signaling studies involving plant immunity.     

HDA19调控拟南芥对真菌Botrytis cineara的抗性反应

HDACs(Histone deacetylase)家族蛋白质负责组蛋白H3K4和H4K19脱乙酰化,并参与植物生长和应激反应的信号转导过程。茉莉酮酸酯Jasmonates(JA)是一种重要的天然植物激素,不仅调节植物生长和发育而且还参与植物对多种逆境胁迫响应的信号转导和调控过程。但是,HDACs在植物中参与JA信号转导的具体机制目前还不是很清楚。该研究以HDA19(Histone deacetylase 19)为对象,探讨了HDACs在植物JA信号转导中的功能和作用。结果表明:HDA19的T-DNA插入纯合突变体在JA处理条件下没有出现明显的JA根长反应。在相同处理条件下,hda19的不同突变体株系与相同生态型背景的野生型植株(WT)花色素苷含量无显著差异,但下游JAZ1、VSP1等JA信号通路的标记基因都显著上调表达。同时,hda19相比于WT对真菌Botrytis cineara的抗性显著增强,且hda19中下游基础防御标记基因PDF1.2、Thi2.1、ERF1等的表达水平显著高于WT。基于上述研究结果,该研究认为HAD19通过JA信号通路负调控拟南芥对真菌B.cineara的防御反应。     

水分胁迫积累的ABA诱导抗氧化防护系统的信号级联

水分胁迫是限制植物生长发育的主要胁迫因子之一。植物通过感受刺激,产生和传递信号、启动多种防御机制对水分胁迫做出响应和适应。脱落酸(ABA)作为一种重要的植物体内胁迫激素,参与了许多这样的反应。研究表明,ABA增强植物水分胁迫的忍耐力与ABA诱导的抗氧化剂防护系统有关;且细胞溶质Ca2 ([Ca2 ]i)、活性氧(ROS)等许多第二信使参与了ABA诱导的信号转导过程。本文就这些信号分子在水分胁迫积累的内源ABA诱导的抗氧化剂防护系统中的作用作一综述。
