Microarray analysis of Arabidopsis ara6-1 mutant
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Endosomal trafficking plays an integral role in various eukaryotic cell activities. In animal cells, a member of the RAB GTPase family, RAB5, is known as a key regulator of various endosomal functions, which include endosomal fusion, endosomal signaling, and endosomal motility. In addition to orthologs of animal RAB5, plants harbor the plant-unique RAB5 group, ARA6 group, which is conserved in all land plant lineages. The Arabidopsis genome encodes three RAB5 members: two conventional type RAB5 (ARA7 and RHA1) and one plant-specific ARA6. It has been already reported that ARA6 mediates a trafficking pathway from endosomes to the plasma membrane, and also shown to be involved in salt stress tolerance and flowering. However, physiological functions of ARA6 and their detailed mechanism are still remained elusive. In this study, we carried out a microarray analysis of the ara6-1 mutant. Possible involvement of ARA6 in sugar metabolism will be reported. The transcriptional profiling between the wild-type Col. and a RAB5 knock out mutant, ara6-1.
