Muraro2014 - Vascular patterning in Arabidopsis roots

ABSTRACT: Muraro2014 - Vascular patterning in Arabidopsis roots Using a multicellular model, maintanence of vascular patterning in Arabidopsis roots has been studied. The model that is provided here is the single-cell version of the model. The two-cell and multicellular models described in the paper can be downloaded as python scripts (follow the curation tab to get these files). This model is described in the article: Integration of hormonal signaling networks and mobile microRNAs is required for vascular patterning in Arabidopsis roots.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Jan 14;111(2):857-62. Abstract: As multicellular organisms grow, positional information is continually needed to regulate the pattern in which cells are arranged. In the Arabidopsis root, most cell types are organized in a radially symmetric pattern; however, a symmetry-breaking event generates bisymmetric auxin and cytokinin signaling domains in the stele. Bidirectional cross-talk between the stele and the surrounding tissues involving a mobile transcription factor, SHORT ROOT (SHR), and mobile microRNA species also determines vascular pattern, but it is currently unclear how these signals integrate. We use a multicellular model to determine a minimal set of components necessary for maintaining a stable vascular pattern. Simulations perturbing the signaling network show that, in addition to the mutually inhibitory interaction between auxin and cytokinin, signaling through SHR, microRNA165/6, and PHABULOSA is required to maintain a stable bisymmetric pattern. We have verified this prediction by observing loss of bisymmetry in shr mutants. The model reveals the importance of several features of the network, namely the mutual degradation of microRNA165/6 and PHABULOSA and the existence of an additional negative regulator of cytokinin signaling. These components form a plausible mechanism capable of patterning vascular tissues in the absence of positional inputs provided by the transport of hormones from the shoot.

Project description:The class III HD-ZIPtranscription factors regulate vascular patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. In this expression study we compare the expression profile in root tips upon miR165 induction, after 6h, 10h and 24h. The results are presented in PHABULOSA mediates an auxin signaling loop to regulate vascular patterning in Arabidopsis by Christina Joy Müller, Ana Elisa Valdés, Guodong Wang, Prashanth Ramachandran, Lisa Beste, Daniel Uddenberg, and Annelie Carlsbecker, accepted for publication in Plant Physiology Nov. 2015. Plant vascular tissues, xylem and phloem, differentiate in distinct patterns from procambial cells as an integral transport system for water, sugars and signaling molecules. Procambium formation is promoted by high auxin levels activating class III homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-ZIP III) transcription factors (TFs). In the root of Arabidopsis thaliana, HD-ZIP III TFs dose-dependently govern the patterning of the xylem axis, with higher levels promoting metaxylem cell identity in the central axis and lower levels protoxylem at its flanks. It is, however, unclear by what mechanisms the HD-ZIP III TFs control xylem axis patterning. Here we present data suggesting that an important mechanism is their ability to moderate auxin response. We found that changes in HD-ZIP III TF levels affect the expression of genes encoding core auxin response molecules. We show that one of the HD-ZIP III TFs, PHABULOSA, directly binds the promoter of both MONOPTEROS/AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR5 (MP/ARF5), a key factor in vascular formation, and IAA20, encoding an AUX/IAA protein which is stable in the presence of auxin and able to interact with and repress MP activity. The double mutant of IAA20 and its closest homologue IAA30 forms ectopic protoxylem, while overexpression of IAA30 causes discontinuous protoxylem and occasional ectopic metaxylem, similar to a weak loss-of-function mp-mutant. Our results provide evidence that HD-ZIP III TFs directly affect auxin response and mediate a feed forward loop formed by MP and IAA20 that may focus and stabilize auxin response during vascular patterning and differentiation of xylem cell types.
