Arabidopsis COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3 (AtCSP3) shares an RNA chaperone function with E. coli cold shock proteins and regulates freezing tolerance during cold acclimation. Here, we screened for AtCSP3-interacting proteins using a yeast two-hybrid system and 38 candidate interactors were identified. Sixteen of these were further confirmed in planta interaction between AtCSP3 by a bi-molecular fluorescence complementation assay. We found that AtCSP3 interacts with CONSTANS-LIKE protein 15 and nuclear poly(A)-binding proteins in nuclear speckles. Three 60S ribosomal proteins (RPL26A, RPL40A/UBQ2, and RPL36aB) and the Gar1 RNA-binding protein interacted with AtCSP3 in the nucleolus and nucleoplasm, suggesting that AtCSP3 functions in ribosome biogenesis. Interactions with LOS2/enolase and glycine-rich RNA-binding protein 7 that are cold inducible, and an mRNA decapping protein 5 (DCP5) were observed in the cytoplasm. These data suggest that AtCSP3 participates in multiple complexes that reside in nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments and possibly regulates RNA processing and functioning.  相似文献

The transient elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) induced by cold stress is a well‐established phenomenon; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that the Ca2+‐permeable transporter ANNEXIN1 (AtANN1) mediates cold‐triggered Ca2+ influx and freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. The loss of function of AtANN1 substantially impaired freezing tolerance, reducing the cold‐induced [Ca2+]cyt increase and upregulation of the cold‐responsive CBF and COR genes. Further analysis showed that the OST1/SnRK2.6 kinase interacted with and phosphorylated AtANN1, which consequently enhanced its Ca2+ transport activity, thereby potentiating Ca2+ signaling. Consistent with these results and freezing sensitivity of ost1 mutants, the cold‐induced [Ca2+]cyt elevation in the ost1‐3 mutant was reduced. Genetic analysis indicated that AtANN1 acts downstream of OST1 in responses to cold stress. Our data thus uncover a cascade linking OST1‐AtANN1 to cold‐induced Ca2+ signal generation, which activates the cold response and consequently enhances freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis.  相似文献

Cold shock domain (CSD) proteins are RNA chaperones that destabilize RNA secondary structures. Arabidopsis Cold Shock Domain Protein 2 (AtCSP2), one of the 4 CSD proteins (AtCSP1-AtCSP4) in Arabidopsis, is induced during cold acclimation but negatively regulates freezing tolerance. Here, we analyzed the function of AtCSP2 in salt stress tolerance. A double mutant, with reduced AtCSP2 and no AtCSP4 expression (atcsp2–3 atcsp4–1), displayed higher survival rates after salt stress. In addition, overexpression of AtCSP2 resulted in reduced salt stress tolerance. These data demonstrate that AtCSP2 acts as a negative regulator of salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis.  相似文献

Plants as sessile organisms are strongly challenged by environmental stresses. Many plants species are able to cold-acclimate, acquiring higher freezing tolerance upon exposure to low but non-freezing temperatures. Among a plethora of adaptational processes, this involves the accumulation of cold regulated (COR) proteins that are assumed to stabilize and protect cellular structures during freezing. However, their molecular functions are largely unknown. We recently reported a comprehensive study of 2 intrinsically disordered cold regulated chloroplast proteins, COR15A and COR15B from Arabidopsis thaliana. They are necessary for full cold acclimation. During freezing, they stabilize leaf cells through folding and binding to chloroplast membranes. Contrary to evidence from in-vitro experiments, they play no role in enzyme stabilization in vivo. Elucidating these major functional and structural characteristics and estimation of protein abundance allow us to propose a detailed model for the mode of action of the two COR15 proteins.  相似文献

We have previously reported the molecular characterization of a putative sucrose:fructan 6-fructosyltransferase (6-SFT) of Bromus pictus, a graminean species from Patagonia, tolerant to cold and drought. Here, this enzyme was functionally characterized by heterologous expression in Pichia pastoris and Nicotiana tabacum. Recombinant P. pastoris Bp6-SFT showed comparable characteristics to barley 6-SFT and an evident fructosyltransferase activity synthesizing bifurcose from sucrose and 1-kestotriose. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing Bp6-SFT, showed fructosyltransferase activity and fructan accumulation in leaves. Bp6-SFT plants exposed to freezing conditions showed a significantly lower electrolyte leakage in leaves compared to control plants, indicating less membrane damage. Concomitantly these transgenic plants resumed growth more rapidly than control ones. These results indicate that Bp6-SFT transgenic tobacco plants that accumulate fructan showed enhanced freezing tolerance compared to control plants.  相似文献

The PmPR10-1.10 protein from western white pine is known to be associated with frost hardiness, and up-regulated by seasonal cold acclimation and biotic and abiotic stresses. To gain insight into the molecular basis of cold hardiness, we investigated the potential physiological role of PmPR10-1.10 by gene overexpression in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. A binary vector was constructed for PmPR10-1.10 synthesis in higher plants and transgenic Arabidopsis lines were generated by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Following Western protein blot analysis confirming target protein production, transgenic Arabidopsis lines were tested for cold tolerance by electrolyte leakage analysis post treatment of different freezing temperatures. Our results demonstrate that accumulation of PmPR10-1.10 protein resulted in significantly greater freezing tolerance in transgenic plants than in wild type plants. This indicates that the transfer and selection of cold acclimation proteins like PmPR10-1.10 may be a breeding strategy for the development of freezing tolerance in conifers.  相似文献

本工作采用酿酒酵母细胞表达载体pESC和植物细胞表达载体pPZP211分析了拟南芥AZI1基因对真菌的抗性功能。半乳糖诱导产生的AZI1蛋白可以使酵母细胞的生长能力明显降低。DAB和台酚蓝染色结果显示用蒜薹灰霉菌孢子处理Col-0野生型植株叶片后被侵染部位只能产生少量H2O2,病原体可以扩散,而AZI1基因过表达植株叶片在侵染部位有大量H2O2产生,着色较深,表明转化体能够以局部细胞的死亡来阻止病原体侵染周围的细胞。在Col-0野生型植株中,AZI1基因的表达受外源水杨酸诱导,24h后达到峰值。以上结果说明AZI1基因在拟南芥对生物胁迫因素的应答过程中具有重要作用。  相似文献

Patterning of the polar axis during the early leaf developmental stage is established by cell-to-cell communication between the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the leaf primordia. In a previous study, we showed that the DRL1 gene, which encodes a homolog of the Elongator-associated protein KTI12 of yeast, acts as a positive regulator of adaxial leaf patterning and shoot meristem activity. To determine the evolutionally conserved functions of DRL1, we performed a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of DRL1 and its yeast homolog, KTI12, and found that while overall homology was low, well-conserved domains were presented. DRL1 contained two conserved plant-specific domains. Expression of the DRL1 gene in a yeast KTI12-deficient yeast mutant suppressed the growth retardation phenotype, but did not rescue the caffeine sensitivity, indicating that the role of Arabidopsis Elongator-associated protein is partially conserved with yeast KTI12, but may have changed between yeast and plants in response to caffeine during the course of evolution. In addition, elevated expression of DRL1 gene triggered zymocin sensitivity, while overexpression of KTI12 maintained zymocin resistance, indicating that the function of Arabidopsis DRL1 may not overlap with yeast KTI12 with regards to toxin sensitivity. In this study, expression analysis showed that class-I KNOX genes were downregulated in the shoot apex, and that YAB and KAN were upregulated in leaves of the Arabidopsis drl1-101 mutant. Our results provide insight into the communication network between the SAM and leaf primordia required for the establishment of leaf polarity by mediating histone acetylation or through other mechanisms.  相似文献

Freezing temperature/frosts can cause significant damage to plants by rupturing plant cells. Rapeseed/canola (Brassica napus L.) is susceptible to freezing temperature at early seedling stage. The degree of cell rupture or seedling damage can be evaluated through the measurement of electrolyte leakage. Here, we measured the electrolyte leakage of a diversity panel of B. napus germplasm accessions under simulated freezing conditions. Preliminary data for electrolyte leakage measurement indicated that cold acclimation of two-week-old seedlings for 7 days at 4 °C followed by freezing treatment at ??12 °C for 2 h provided a reasonable diversity in response. With this protocol for electrolyte leakage, a genome-wide association study was conducted on 157 winter, semi-winter, and spring types of B. napus accessions that originated from 17 countries. A total of 37,454 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers based upon genotyping-by-sequencing were used for the analysis. Ten QTL were identified as associated with electrolyte leakage of canola seedlings, which together explained 43% phenotypic variation. Five of the QTL were located on A-genome. We identified at least 33 orthologs of the functional candidate genes. Although no well-characterized cold regulatory genes were identified, there were some indications that genes involved in membrane structure, developmental processes, and extracellular transport may be involved in altering the electrolyte leakage following the short-term hard freeze and rapid defrosting suffered by the plants in our protocol.  相似文献

Sterol glycosyltransferases regulate the properties of sterols by catalyzing the transfer of carbohydrate molecules to the sterol moiety for the synthesis of steryl glycosides and acyl steryl glycosides. We have analyzed the functional role of TTG15/UGT80B1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana in freeze/thaw and heat shock stress using T-DNA insertional sgt knockout mutants. Quantitative study of spatial as well as temporal gene expression showed tissue-specific and dynamic expression patterns throughout the growth stages. Comparative responses of Col-0, TTG15/UGT80B1 knockout mutant and p35S:TTG15/UGT80B1 restored lines were analyzed under heat and freeze stress conditions. Heat tolerance was determined by survival of plants at 42°C for 3 h, MDA analysis and chlorophyll fluorescence image (CFI) analysis. Freezing tolerance was determined by survival of the plants at -1°C temperature in non-acclimatized (NA) and cold acclimatized (CA) conditions and also by CFI analysis, which revealed that, p35S:TTG15/UGT80B1 restored plants were more adapted to freeze stress than TTG15/UGT80B1 knockout mutant under CA condition. HPLC analysis of the plants showed reduced sterol glycoside in mutant seedlings as compared to other genotypes. Following CA condition, both β-sitosterol and sitosterol glycoside quantity was more in Col-0 and p35S:TTG15/UGT80B1 restored lines, whereas it was significantly less in TTG15/UGT80B1 knockout mutants. From these results, it may be concluded that due to low content of free sterols and sterol glycosides, the physiology of mutant plants was more affected during both, the chilling and heat stress.  相似文献

Low temperature stress adversely affects plant growth, development, and crop productivity. Analysis of the function of genes in the response of plants to low temperature stress is essential for understanding the mechanism of chilling and freezing tolerance. In this study, PsCor413im1, a novel cold-regulated gene isolated from Phlox subulata, was transferred to Arabidopsis to investigate its function under low temperature stress. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that PsCor413im1 expression was induced by cold and abscisic acid. Subcellular localization revealed that PsCor413im1-GFP fusion protein was localized to the periphery of the chloroplast, consistent with the localization of chloroplast inner membrane protein AtCor413im1, indicating that PsCor413im1 is a chloroplast membrane protein. Furthermore, the N-terminal of PsCor413im1 was determined to be necessary for its localization. Compared to the wild-type plants, transgenic plants showed higher germination and survival rates under cold and freezing stress. Moreover, the expression of AtCor15 in transgenic plants was higher than that in the wild-type plants under cold stress. Taken together, our results suggest that the overexpression of PsCor413im1 enhances low temperature tolerance in Arabidopsis.  相似文献
