HOP family plays a major role in long term acquired thermotolerance in Arabidopsis affecting the HSR and protein QC

ABSTRACT: HOP is a family of cytosolic cochaperones whose molecular role in thermotolerance was quite unknown in eukaryotes and unexplored in plants. In this article, we describe that the three members of the HOP family display a different induction pattern under heat, being HOP3 highly regulated during the challenge and the attenuation period. Despite this tight HOP3 regulation, the analysis of the hop1 hop2 hop3 triple mutant demonstrates that the three AtHOP proteins act redundantly to promote long acquired thermotolerance in Arabidopsis. AtHOPs interact very strongly with HSP90 and part of the bulk of HOP shuttles from the cytoplasm to cytoplasmic foci and to the nucleus in response to heat. Consistent with this latter location, and with the formation of a HOP complex with HsfA1, RNAseq analyses demonstrate that HSR is altered in the hop1 hop2 hop3 triple mutant during the heat stress.In addition, this mutant displays an unusual high accumulation of insoluble and ubiquitinated proteins under heat. These data reveal that HOPs play a main role in two different aspects of the response to heat: the maintenance of protein homeostasis and the proper establishment of the HSR, affecting the plant capacity to acclimate to heat stress for long periods.

Project description:Short periods of heat (>37°C) are extremely damaging to non-acclimated plants and their capacity to acclimate to and recover from heat stress is a key parameter for their survival and longevity. To acclimate, the Heat Shock transcription Factor A1 (HSFA1) subfamily activates a transcriptional response that resolves the heat stress-induced protein damage. Importantly, HSFA1 activity is also critical for Arabidopsis to withstand sustained warmer periods of 28°C, a non-detrimental condition that triggers a thermomorphogenesis response. We find that SUMO, a protein modification whose adduct levels increase as a result of acute heat stress in eukaryotes, is also critical for plant longevity during warmer periods, in particular for shoot meristem development. The known E3 and E4 SUMO ligases (SIZ1, HPY1/MMS21, PIAL1/2) were not essential to endure these warmer periods, alone or in combination. Thermo-lethality was also not seen when plants lacked certain SUMO proteases (ESD4, OTS1/OTS2, SPF1/SPF2 combined) or when SUMO chain formation was blocked. Furthermore, SUMO thermo-resilience is not connected to the autoimmune phenotype found in the corresponding SUMO knockdown and a SIZ1 loss-of-function mutant. As acquired thermotolerance was normal in the SUMO knockdown mutant, we thus conclude that the role of SUMO in heat acclimation differs from that of HSFA1 and SIZ1. Combined, this study reveals that SUMO appears to be critical for shoot meristem integrity during warmer periods. This experiment we have examined how gene expression is affected in two SUMO mutants (siz1-2; sumo1 amiR-SUMO1 [aka. sumo1/2KD] ), and a HsfA1a,b,d triple mutant, when the plants are placed at 28C constant ambient temperature, which is a condition normally used to induce thermomorphogenesis. We used as control the pad1-4 background, as the siz1-2 and sumo1/2KD mutants normally suffer from constitutive defence signalling due hyperaccumulation of SA, which is suppressed by introgression of pad4 in these backgrounds.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptome in moss Physcomitrella patens CNGCb null mutant at 25 and 34 degrees C for 30 minutes. Results provide insight into role of CNGCb in acquired thermotolerance induced by non-lethal heat treatment. Typically at dawn of a hot summer day, land plants need precise molecular thermometers to sense harmless increments in the ambient temperature to timely develop a heat-shock response (HSR) and accumulate protective heat shock proteins (Hsps), in anticipation of upcoming harmful temperatures at mid-day. Here, we found that the CNGCb gene from Physcomitrella patens and its Arabidopsis ortholog CNGC2, encode for a component of cyclic nucleotide gated Ca2+ channels acting as the primary thermosensors of land plant cells. Disruption of CNGCb or CNGC2 produced a hyper-thermosensitive phenotype, giving rise to a HSR and acquired thermotolerance at significantly milder heat-priming treatments than in wild type plants. In an aequorin-expressing moss, CNGCb loss-of-function caused altered Ca2+ signaling and a sustained Ca2+ influx. Patch clamp recordings on moss protoplasts showed the presence of three distinct thermo-responsive Ca2+-channels in wild type cells. Deletion of CNGCb led to a total absence of one, and it increased the open probability of the remaining two thermo-responsive Ca2+ channels. Thus, both in Arabidopsis and moss, CNGC2 and CNGCb are expected to form with other related CNGCs, heteromeric Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane that respond to mild increments in the ambient temperature by triggering an optimal HSR, leading to the onset of plant acquired thermotolerance. The WT moss tissues were heat-shocked for a half an hour at 34°C and 38°C and CNGCb at 25and 34°C followed by liquid nitrogen freezing. Total RNA was isolated using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and two biological replicate samples for each treatment, were extracted. An Agilent-certified microarray service lab (MOgene, LC, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to verify the integrity of the RNA and perform the microarray experiments. Two biological replicates were performed.
