TNO1 is involved in salt tolerance and vacuolar trafficking in Arabidopsis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Kim SJ  Bassham DC 《Plant physiology》2011,156(2):514-526
The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor SYP41 is involved in vesicle fusion at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and interacts with AtVPS45, SYP61, and VTI12. These proteins are involved in diverse cellular processes, including vacuole biogenesis and stress tolerance. A previously uncharacterized protein, named TNO1 (for TGN-localized SYP41-interacting protein), was identified by coimmunoprecipitation as a SYP41-interacting protein. TNO1 was found to localize to the TGN by immunofluorescence microscopy. A tno1 mutant showed increased sensitivity to high concentrations of NaCl, KCl, and LiCl and also to mannitol-induced osmotic stress. Localization of SYP61, which is involved in the salt stress response, was disrupted in the tno1 mutant. Vacuolar proteins were partially secreted to the apoplast in the tno1 mutant, suggesting that TNO1 is required for efficient protein trafficking to the vacuole. The tno1 mutant had delayed formation of the brefeldin A (BFA) compartment in cotyledons upon application of BFA, suggesting less efficient membrane fusion processes in the mutant. Unlike most TGN proteins, TNO1 does not relocate to the BFA compartment upon BFA treatment. These data demonstrate that TNO1 is involved in vacuolar trafficking and salt tolerance, potentially via roles in vesicle fusion and in maintaining TGN structure or identity.  相似文献

Potato is a species commonly cultivated in temperate areas where the growing season may be interrupted by frosts, resulting in loss of yield. Cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum, is freezing sensitive, but it has several freezing-tolerant wild potato relatives, one of which is S. commersonii. Our study was aimed to resolve the relationship between enhanced freezing tolerance, acclimation capacity and capacity to tolerate active oxygen species. To be able to characterize freezing tolerant ideotypes, a potato population (S1), which segregates in freezing tolerance, acclimation capacity and capacity to tolerate superoxide radicals, was produced by selfing a somatic hybrid between a freezing-tolerant Solanum commersonii (LT50=-4.6°C) and -sensitive S. tuberosum (LT50=-3.0°C). The distribution of non-acclimated freezing tolerance (NA-freezing tolerance) of the S1 population varied between the parental lines and we were able to identify genotypes, having significantly high or low NA-freezing tolerance. When a population of 25 genotypes was tested both for NA-freezing and paraquat (PQ) tolerance, no correlation was found between these two traits (R = 0.02). However, the most NA-freezing tolerant genotypes were also among the most PQ tolerant plants. Simultaneously, one of the NA-freezing sensitive genotypes (2022) (LT50=-3.0°C) was observed to be PQ tolerant. These conflicting results may reflect a significant, but not obligatory, role of superoxide scavenging mechanisms in the NA-freezing tolerance of S. commersonii. The freezing tolerance after cold acclimation (CA-freezing tolerance) and the acclimation capacity (AC) was measured after acclimation for 7 days at 4/2°C. Lack of correlation between NA-freezing tolerance and AC (R =-0.05) in the S1 population points to independent genetic control of NA-freezing tolerance and AC in Solanum sp. Increased freezing tolerance after cold acclimation was clearly related to PQ tolerance of all S1 genotypes, especially those having good acclimation capacity. The rapid loss of improved PQ tolerance under deacclimation conditions confirmed the close relationship between the process of cold acclimation and enhanced PQ tolerance. Here, we report an increased PQ tolerance in cold-acclimated plants compared to non-acclimated controls. However, we concluded that high PQ tolerance is not a good indicator of actual freezing tolerance and should not be used as a selectable marker for the identification of a freezing-tolerant genotype.  相似文献

Light and abiotic stress both strongly modulate plant growth and development. However, the effect of light‐responsive factors on growth and abiotic stress responses in wheat (Triticum aestivum) is unknown. G–box binding factors (GBFs) are blue light‐specific components, but their function in abiotic stress responses has not been studied. Here we identified a wheat GBF1 gene that mediated both the blue light‐ and abiotic stress‐responsive signaling pathways. TaGBF1 was inducible by blue light, salt and exposure to abscisic acid (ABA). TaGBF1 interacted with a G–box light‐responsive element in vitro and promoted a blue‐light response in wheat and Aradidopsis thaliana. Both TaGBF1 over‐expression in wheat and its heterologous expression in A. thaliana heighten sensitivity to salinity and ABA, but its knockdown in wheat conferred resistance to high salinity and ABA. The expression of AtABI5, a key component of the ABA signaling pathway in A. thaliana, and its homolog Wabi5 in wheat was increased by transgenic expression of TaGBF1. The hypersensitivity to salt and ABA caused by TaGBF1 was not observed in the abi5 mutant background, showing that ABI5 is the mediator in TaGBF1‐induced abiotic stress responses. However, the hypersensitivity to salt conferred by TaGBF1 is not dependent on light. This suggests that TaGBF1 is a common component of blue light‐ and abiotic stress‐responsive signaling pathways.  相似文献

Abstract Water stress at a nonacclimating temperature (18–20°C) increased the cold hardiness of Medicagosativa L. (alfalfa) plants. This increased cold hardiness was retained when the previously water-stressed plants were cold acclimated (2–9°C) in the absence of water stress. Water stress during cold acclimation also increased cold hardiness. Alfalfa was demonstrated to suffer injury, measured as decreased growth following freezing, at sub-lethal temperatures. During cold acclimation the turgor potential (ψ) of watered plants increased, whereas the solute potential and the water content per unit dry weight decreased. The large positive psgrdap of acclimated plants indicates that the decreased water content per unit dry weight is related to an increased proportion of tissue dry matter rather than to tissue dehydration.  相似文献

ASR1 is a plant‐specific, highly charged, low molecular weight polypeptide. Purified ASR1 was shown to posses sequence specific Zn2+‐dependent DNA binding activity (Kalifa et al. Biochemical Journal 381, 373–378, 2004). Steady‐state levels of tomato Asr1 mRNA and protein are transiently increased following exposure of plants to polyethylene glycol, NaCl or abscisic acid. The biological role of ASR1 could not be deduced from sequence analyses or sequence homologies. Tobacco plants over‐expressing tomato ASR1 have a decreased rate of water loss and improved salt tolerance. Upon exposure to salt, ASR1‐over‐expressing plants accumulate less Na+ and proline than wild‐type plants, and also results in increased steady‐state levels of other gene products under non‐stressed plant growth conditions. Therefore, ASR1 is probably involved in the regulation of water‐ or salt‐stress‐modulated gene expression.  相似文献

An analysis of the salinity tolerance of 354 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed that some accessions were more tolerant to salt shock than the reference accession, Col-0, when transferred from 0 to 225 mM NaCl. In addition, several accessions, including Zu-0, showed marked acquired salt tolerance after exposure to moderate salt stress. It is likely therefore that Arabidopsis plants have at least two types of tolerance, salt shock tolerance and acquired salt tolerance. To evaluate a role of well-known salt shock tolerant gene SOS1 in acquired salt tolerance, we isolated a sos1 mutant from ion-beam-mutagenized Zu-0 seedlings. The mutant showed severe growth inhibition under salt shock stress owing to a single base deletion in the SOS1 gene and was even more salt sensitive than Col-0. Nevertheless, it was able to survive after acclimation on 100 mM NaCl for 7 d followed by 750 mM sorbitol for 20 d, whereas Col-0 became chlorotic under the same conditions. We propose that genes for salt acclimation ability are different from genes for salt shock tolerance and play an important role in the acquisition of salt or osmotic tolerance.  相似文献

GEK1, an Arabidopsis thaliana gene product, was recently identified through its involvement in ethanol tolerance. Later, this protein was shown to display 26% strict identity with archaeal d-Tyr-tRNA(Tyr) deacylases. To determine whether it actually possessed deacylase activity, the product of the GEK1 open reading frame was expressed in Escherichia coli from a multi-copy plasmid. Purified GEK1 protein contains two zinc ions and proves to be a broad-specific, markedly active d-aminoacyl-tRNA deacylase in vitro. Moreover, GEK1 expression is capable of functionally compensating in E. coli for the absence of endogeneous d-Tyr- tRNA(Tyr) deacylase. Possible connections between exposure of plants to ethanol/acetaldehyde and misaminoacylation of tRNA by d-amino acids are considered.  相似文献

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), the most common and severe manifestation of Graves' disease (GD), is a disfiguring and potentially blinding autoimmune disease. The high relapse rate (up to 20%) and substantial side effects of glucocorticoid treatment further decrease the life quality of TAO patients. To develop novel therapies, we amid to explore the immunopathogenesis of TAO. To identify the key immune-related genes (IRGs) in TAO, we integrated the IRG expression profiles in thyrocytes from a GD patient set (GD vs healthy control) and a TAO patient set (TAO vs GD). Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), protein-protein interaction (PPI) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses identified the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene as the key IRG in TAO immunopathogenesis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) suggested enrichment of the antigen presentation pathway in TAO patients with higher LEPR. Increased LEPR expression was validated in TAO orbital tissues, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) showed that cell adhesion processes were positively correlated with LEPR. Our study revealed that LEPR is a key gene in TAO immunopathogenesis and plays different roles in thyrocytes and orbital tissues. Our findings provide new insights into diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for TAO.  相似文献

The role of ABA in freezing tolerance and cold acclimation in barley   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
The role of ABA in freezing resistance in nonacclimated and cold‐acclimated barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) was studied. Eleven nonacclimated cultivars differed in their LT50, ranging from −10.8 to −4.8°C. Sugars, free proline, soluble proteins and ABA were analyzed in nonacclimated cultivars and during cold acclimation of one cultivar. There was an inverse correlation between LT50 and both ABA and sucrose contents. Exogenous ABA caused a decrease in the freezing point of leaf tissue in the cultivar with the lowest level of endogenous ABA, but not in the cultivar with the highest level, suggesting that ABA in the latter may be near the optimum endogenous level to induce freezing tolerance. Plants of cv. Aramir treated with ABA or allowed to acclimate to cold temperature increased their soluble sugar content to a similar level. The LT50 of leaves of cold‐acclimated cv. Aramir decreased from −5.8 to −11.4°C, with biphasic kinetics, accumulating proline and soluble sugars with similar kinetics. The biphasic profile observed during cold acclimation could be a direct consequence of cryoprotectant accumulation kinetics. ABA and soluble protein accumulation showed a single step profile, associated mainly with the second phase of the LT50 decrease. Thus, a significant increase in endogenous ABA is part of the response of barley to low temperature and may be required as a signal for the second phase of cold acclimation. Endogenous ABA contents in the nonacclimated state may determine constitutive freezing tolerance.  相似文献
