The phosphoinositide signature guides the final step of plant cytokinesis.

ABSTRACT: Plant cytokinesis, which fundamentally differs from that in animals, requires the outward expansion of a plasma membrane precursor named the cell plate. How the transition from a cell plate to a plasma membrane occurs remains poorly understood. Here, we report that the acquisition of plasma membrane identity occurs through lateral patterning of the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate PI(4,5)P₂ at the newly formed cell plate membrane. There, the phosphoinositide phosphatase SAC9 emerges as a key regulator, colocalizing with and regulating the function of the microtubule-associated protein MAP65-3 at the cell plate leading zone. In sac9-3 mutant, the polar distribution of PI(4,5)P₂ at the cell plate is altered, leading to ectopic recruitment of the cytokinesis apparatus and formation of an additional cell plate insertion site. We propose that at the cell plate, SAC9 drives the depletion of PI(4,5)P₂, which acts as a polar cue to spatially separate cell plate expansion from the acquisition of plasma membrane identity during final step of cytokinesis.

Project description:Peptidoglycan is the main component of the bacterial wall and protects cells from the mechanical stress that results from high intracellular turgor. Peptidoglycan biosynthesis is very similar in all bacteria; bacterial shapes are therefore mainly determined by the spatial and temporal regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis rather than by the chemical composition of peptidoglycan. The form of rod-shaped bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis or Escherichia coli, is generated by the action of two peptidoglycan synthesis machineries that act at the septum and at the lateral wall in processes coordinated by the cytoskeletal proteins FtsZ and MreB, respectively. The tubulin homologue FtsZ is the first protein recruited to the division site, where it assembles in filaments-forming the Z ring-that undergo treadmilling and recruit later divisome proteins. The rate of treadmilling in B. subtilis controls the rates of both peptidoglycan synthesis and cell division. The actin homologue MreB forms discrete patches that move circumferentially around the cell in tracks perpendicular to the long axis of the cell, and organize the insertion of new cell wall during elongation. Cocci such as Staphylococcus aureus possess only one type of peptidoglycan synthesis machinery, which is diverted from the cell periphery to the septum in preparation for division. The molecular cue that coordinates this transition has remained elusive. Here we investigate the localization of S. aureus peptidoglycan biosynthesis proteins and show that the recruitment of the putative lipid II flippase MurJ to the septum, by the DivIB-DivIC-FtsL complex, drives peptidoglycan incorporation to the midcell. MurJ recruitment corresponds to a turning point in cytokinesis, which is slow and dependent on FtsZ treadmilling before MurJ arrival but becomes faster and independent of FtsZ treadmilling after peptidoglycan synthesis activity is directed to the septum, where it provides additional force for cell envelope constriction.

Project description:Total biomass production of plant monocultures growing over a range of densities and harvested after a period of growth increases monotonically with density and then levels out at higher densities. This pattern is called constant final yield (CFY) and is considered one of the most general phenomena in plant ecology. If CFY applies to plant communities, it would be a key to understanding and predicting many community-level phenomena. We tested two primary hypotheses experimentally: (1) Mixtures of several species show CFY. (2) If so, the proportion of biomass production by the component species in a mixture does not change at densities above the density that reaches CFY. We performed a series of glasshouse experiments over 3 years using a "community density series," in which the overall density of five species was varied while their proportions remained unchanged. In the first experiment, we grew a mixture of annual and perennial herbaceous species in mesocosms, and all species were also grown in monocultures at the corresponding densities. A similar experiment was performed in the second and third years, but only with annuals. A third experiment with mixtures only was performed in pots over 2 years. In all cases, aboveground biomass was harvested, separated by species, dried, and weighed. Perennials with underground storage organs produced maximum aboveground biomass at low or intermediate densities. In the second experiment, two of the species produced maximum biomass at the second-highest density in monoculture, while mixtures of all five species showed classical CFY behavior, and the contribution of the species to the mixture changed very little above the lowest density producing CFY. The results of the third experiment were also consistent with the hypotheses. In conclusion, CFY in aboveground biomass production was observed in communities of annual species, and the contribution of the individual species was relatively insensitive to an increase in density above that reaching CFY, i.e., competitive performance of the species changed with density until CFY was reached. Evidence for CFY was stronger in mixture than in monoculture. Coexistence theory must include density as well as frequency dependence if densities are below CFY.
