Overexpression of the selective autophagy receptor AtNBR1

ABSTRACT: Cargo receptors are well established elements of the selective autophagy in all eukaryotes. The NBR1-like family of such receptors is evolutionarily conserved, however plants have only one member of the family, which is a functional and structural hybrid of its two animal counterparts, p62 (SQSTM1) and NBR1. Examination of plants overexpressing NBR1 indicates that they are oversensitive to TOR inhibitors and have more autophagosomes than the parental lines. The observed changes in shoots suggested induction of ABA signalling pathway, what was further corroborated by the germination tests and the assay of ABA level. The transcriptome changes in roots, such as lower level of snoRNA and some tRNAs, suggested inhibition of ribosome biogenesis, what is supported by identification of RPS6, an important component of TOR-dependent translational control, as a novel partner of NBR1.

Project description:Autophagy involvement in plant response to nitrogen, carbon and sulfur starvation was already reported, however the mechanisms responsible for its regulation and selectivity in such conditions were not yet investigated. We observed increased amounts of NBR1 transcript in plants exposed to sulfur deficit as compared to the control plants grown in nutrient sufficient conditions. This observation prompted us to investigate the role of this selective autophagy cargo receptor in plant response to sulfur deficit. Transcriptome analysis of the wild type and NBR overexpressing plants revealed differences in gene expression changes in response to sulfur deficit. Moreover, NBR1 overexpressors have significantly shorter roots than WT, when grown in nutrient deficient conditions in the presence of TOR kinase inhibitors, namely in the conditions leading to autophagy induction. Besides, NBR1 overexpression promoted stomata closure while NBR1 depletion stomata opening. Surprisingly, all lines had more closed stomata when grown in sulfur deficient than sulfur optimal conditions, what indicates that this effect is independent from NBR1. Similarly, ABA-dependent stomatal closure was independent from NBR1 and growth conditions. Cysteine also promoted stomatal closure in NBR1-independent way in plants grown in the optimal medium but in contrast, reduced the number of open stomata in plants from sulfur deficient medium. Interaction network analysis of the proteins co-purifying with NBR1 revealed links with proteins involved in degradation systems, and endosomal trafficking and a surprizing connection with nuclear transport. In addition, several proteins co-purifying with NBR1 were found only in sulfur deficient conditions. One of them, ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) was further confirmed as a direct NBR1 interactor. Localization of the RPS6 interaction sites in NBR1 indicated that ubiquitin binding domain of NBR1 is not required for this interaction what means that it is rather not the classical “ubiquitinated target - autophagy receptor” interaction.
