Transformants of wheat GSK3/Shaggy-like kinase TaSK5 vs wild-type Col-0

ABSTRACT: A novel cold-inducible GSK3/Shaggy-like kinase cDNA (TaSK5) was isolated from winter wheat by a macroarray-based differential screening approach. Sequence analysis of TaSK5 revealed high similarity to Arabidopsis subgroup I GSK3/Shaggy-like kinases ASK-alpha, ASK-gamma and ASK-epsilon. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing TaSK5 cDNA under the control of CaMV 35S promoter showed enhanced tolerance to salt and drought stresses. In contrast, the tolerance of the transgenic plants to freezing stress was not altered. To identify genes which are differentially regulated in the 35S:TaSK5 over-expressing Arabidopsis plants under non-stress conditions, we compared the genome-wide expression profiles of Col-0 and plants over-expressing TaSK5 using DNA microarrays. Sixty seven genes were found to be expressed at least 2-fold more strongly in 35S:TaSK5 plants than in Col-0, and 17 genes were found to be expressed at least 2-fold more strongly in Col-0 than in 35S:TaSK5 plants. Most of the TaSK5 up-regulated genes were also induced by abiotic stresses, including cold, salt and drought. These results support the involvement of TaSK5 in abiotic stress signal transduction. Keywords: transgenic vs wt Col.-0 comparison Total RNA was extracted from rosette leaves of two independent 3-week-old T1 Arabidopsis Col-0 plants over-expressing TaSK5 driven by 35S promoter and the whole transcriptome was compared with that of wild-type plant. Sample pairs in two independent transformants (OX7 and OX17), referred as biological replicates, were analyzed by the two-color method. Dye-swapped hybridizations were performed in every replicate.

A novel cold-inducible GSK3/shaggy-like kinase, TaSK5, was isolated from winter wheat using a macroarray-based differential screening approach. TaSK5 showed high similarity to Arabidopsis subgroup I GSK3/shaggy-like kinases ASK-alpha, AtSK-gamma and ASK-epsilon. RNA gel blot analyses revealed TaSK5 induction by cold and NaCl treatments and to a lesser extent by drought treatment. TaSK5 functionally complemented the cold- and salt-sensitive phenotypes of a yeast GSK3/shaggy-like kinase mutant, △m ...[more]

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in all major environmental stresses. However, most of these understandings were mainly based on pharmacological study using NO modulator compounds. Recently, our studies together with others provided a new class of plant experimental system with specific in vivo NO release through constitutively overexpressing rat neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) in plants. In this study, we found that the nNOS transgenic Arabidopsis plants displayed lower level of H2O2 content, but higher levels of antioxidant enzyme activities and osmolytes under drought stress conditions. Transcriptomic analysis identified 490 and 20 genes that were differentially expressed in wild type (WT) and nNOS transgenic plants under control and drought stress conditions, respectively. Pathway analysis revealed that many genes involved in photosynthesis, cell, misc, co-factor and vitamin metabolism, major CHO metabolism, OPP and secondary metabolism were largely changed in nNOS vs. WT under control or drought stress conditions. Interestingly, CBF1/2 and 13 zinc finger family proteins, known as important family of transcription regulators in modulating several stress-responsive genes, were differentially expressed by nNOS transgenic effect. Additionally, some genes were commonly regulated by nNOS transgenic and abscisic acid (ABA) effects, indicating new insights to cross-talk between ABA and NO. Taken together, in vivo NO modulated antioxidant enzyme activities, osmolyte level, and the expression of genes involved in several pathways, thereby resulting in enhanced stress tolerance in nNOS transgenic plants. These observations might provide some insights to understand the physiological and molecular mechanisms of NO in response to drought stress in Arabidopsis. Two transgenic Arabidopsis lines (nNOS-2 and nNOS-25) with the nNOS gene under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, as well as Col-0 (WT), were used in this research. RNA samples from two nNOS transgenic lines were pooled for cRNA labelling and chip hybridization.
