A receptor protein links plant cell wall surveillance with hormone signaling

ABSTRACT: The growth and shape of plants is mainly defined by the properties of their cell walls, which dynamically adapt to internal and external cues. Therefore, the cell wall is under constant surveillance to relay feedback information to the cell interior. However, very little is known about how cell wall signaling is integrated with intracellular growth regulation. Here, we have identified a receptor-like protein, RLP44, which conveys information from the cell wall to the brassinosteroid hormone signaling pathway by interacting with the regulatory receptor-like kinase BAK1. This conditional RLP44-mediated signaling activation is required for normal development and stress responses, requires functional brassinosteroid receptor, but is partially independent of the hormone ligand. We sought to identify transcriptional changes in the PMEIox transformant in which an altered pectin modification leads to an induction of the brassinosteroid signalling pathway. In addition we determined which fraction of these expression changes was reverted in the cnu1 and cnu2 suppressor mutants of PMEIox, respectively. Complete transcriptome analysis was performed on Col-0 wild-type as well as the PMEIox transformant and the cnu1 and cnu2 suppressor mutant seedlings grown in the dark for four days. 3 Biological replicates of etiolated seedlings grown for 4 days in the dark were harvested on successive weeks.

Project description:Phytohormones play crucial roles in regulating many aspects of plant development. Although much has been learned about the effects of individual hormones, cross-talk between and integration of different hormonal signals are still not well understood. We present a study of MINI ZINC FINGER 1 (MIF1), a putative zinc finger protein from Arabidopsis, and suggest that it may be involved in integrating signals from multiple hormones. MIF1 homologs are highly conserved among seed plants, each characterized by a very short sequence containing a central putative zinc finger domain. Constitutive overexpression of MIF1 caused dramatic developmental defects, including dwarfism, reduced apical dominance, extreme longevity, dark-green leaves, altered flower morphology, poor fertility, reduced hypocotyl length, spoon-like cotyledons, reduced root growth, and ectopic root hairs on hypocotyls and cotyledons. In addition, 35S::MIF1 seedlings underwent constitutive photomorphogenesis in the dark, with root growth similar to that in the light. Furthermore, 35S::MIF1 seedlings were demonstrated to be non-responsive to gibberellin (GA) for cell elongation, hypersensitive to the GA synthesis inhibitor paclobutrazol (PAC) and abscisic acid (ABA), and hyposensitive to auxin, brassinosteroid and cytokinin, but normally responsive to ethylene. The de-etiolation defect could not be rescued by the hormones tested. Consistent with these observations, genome-scale expression profiling revealed that 35S::MIF1 seedlings exhibited decreased expression of genes involved in GA, auxin and brassinosteroid signaling as well as cell elongation/expansion, and increased expression of ABA-responsive genes. We propose that MIF1, or the protein(s) with which MIF1 interacts, is involved in mediating the control of plant development by multiple hormones. Experiment Overall Design: The experiment was designed to compared expression profiles of wild type (vector transformed Col) and 35S::MIF1 seedlings grown in the dark or white light. Twelve affymetrix ATH1 arrays were used for three biological replicates, six for comparison of light-grown seedlings and the other six for dark-grown seedlings. Wild-type seedlings were from three independent vector transformant lines(#1, #4 and #7). For the 35S::MIF1 transgenic seedlings, MIF1OE#124 was used for the first and second replicates, and MIF1OE#127 was used for the third replicate.
