The AP2/ERF Transcription Factor TINY Modulates Brassinosteroid-Regulated Plant Growth and Drought Response in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: The functions of AP2/ERF family transcription factors in stress responses are well documented, but their roles in the brassinosteroid (BR)-regulated growth and stress responses have not been established. Here we show that stress-inducible AP2/ERF family transcription factor TINY inhibits BR-regulated growth while promoting drought response. TINY overexpression plants have stunted growth, increased sensitivity to BR biosynthesis inhibitors and compromised BR-responsive gene expression. In contrast, a tiny tiny2 tiny3 triple mutant has increased BR-regulated growth and BR-responsive gene expression. TINY positively regulates drought response by activating drought responsive genes and promoting abscisic acid-mediated stomatal closure. Global gene expression studies revealed that TINY and BRs oppositely regulate genes involved in plant growth and stress response. TINY interacts with and antagonizes BES1 in the regulation of these genes. The GSK3-like protein kinase BIN2, a negative regulator in the BR pathway, phosphorylates and stabilizes TINY, providing a mechanism for BR-mediated down-regulation of TINY to prevent activation of stress response under optimal growth conditions. Taken together, our results demonstrate that TINY is negatively regulated by BR signaling through BIN2 phosphorylation and positively regulates drought response, as well as inhibits BR-mediated plant growth through TINY-BES1 antagonistic interactions. Our results thus provide insight into the coordination of BR-regulated growth and drought responses.

miR394 and its target gene modulate BR signaling to regulate hypocotyls elongation in Arabidopsis

Project description:MicroRNAs and phytophormes are all small molecular signals that play important roles in regulating development and environmental responses in plants. The interplay between them allow the plants to better converge multiple inner and outer signals to optimizing their survival strategy. So far, the knowledge of how miRNAs are involved in brassinosteroid (BR) signaling is lacking. Here, we report the finding of miR394 and its target gene LEAF CURLING RESPONSENESS (LCR), which were transcriptionally responsive to BR, participate in BR signaling in regulating hypocotyls elongation in Arabidopsis. By phenotypic analyzing of a set of transgenic and mutants, miR394 was found to act as a negative regulator in BR signaling in hypocotyls elongation, while its target gene on the contrary. Genetically, miR394 functions upstream of BIN2 and BZR1/BES1, but partially downstream or independent with BRI1 and BSU1. RNA-seq analysis further supports that miR394 inhibits BR signaling through BIN2 because miR394 co-regulate significant number of genes together with BIN2. Additionally, miR394 improved the accumulation of BIN2 but decreased the protein amount of BZR1 and BES1, which can be phosphorylated by BIN2. miR394 also repressed the transcription of PRE1/5/6 and EXP8, the key hypocotyls elongation regulating genes, which had been reported to be BZR1/BES1 targets. These findings revealed a new pathway that miRNA involved in BR signaling in Arabidopsis.

RAV1 and BES1 mutually inhibit each other’s expression and oppositely co-regulate the genes for growth and defense in Arabidopsis

Project description:RAV1 (RELATED TO ABI3/VP1) is a plant-specific B3 domain and AP2 domain-containing transcription factor and acts as a negative regulator of growth in many plant species. Expression of the RAV1 was down-regulated by BR, and through the large-scale transcriptome analyses its expression was previously shown to be targeted by BES1 and BZR1 that are critical transcription factors for BR-signaling process. Using the RAV1-overexpressing transgenic plants, here we showed that RAV1 overexpression reduced BR signaling capacity, resulting in the up-regulation of BR biosynthetic genes and down regulation of BES1 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated that BES1, not BZR1, directly bound to the RAV1 promoter and repressed RAV1 expression, and vice versa, RAV1 also bound to the BES1 promoter and repressed BES1 expression. This mutual inhibition was specific to between RAV1 and BES1, because RAV1 showed binding activity to BZR1 promoter but did not repressed BZR1 expression. To validate this mutual inhibition of RAV1 and BES1, we generated transgenic bes1-D plants overexpressing RAV1 and observed that constitutively activated BR-signaling phenotypes in bes1-D were attenuated due to the repression of endogenous BES1 expression. To investigate transcriptomic expressional changes that are regulated by RAV1 and BES1, we performed RNA-sequencing analysis from RAV1-overexpressing transgenic plants and bes1-D mutant plant. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by RAV1 and BES1, respectively, as well as the genes that are oppositely co-regulated by RAV1 and BES1. And we found that RAV1 and BES1 regulate different transcriptome but co-regulate a specific set of genes that are responsible for the balance between growth and defense. Taken together, these results suggested that mutual inhibitory transcriptional activities of the RAV1 and BES1 provide fine regulatory mechanisms for plants growth and development mediated by BR signaling.

BAF1 and Brassinosteroid related mutant in Arabidopsis

Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) regulate plant growth, development and stress responses by activating the core transcription factor BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1 (BES1). The E3 Ubiquitin ligase(s) that modify BES1 for autophagy-mediated degradation remain to be fully defined. In this study, we identified an F-box family E3 ubiquitin ligase termed BES1-ASSOCIATED F-BOX1 (BAF1). BAF1 interacts with and ubiquitinates BES1. Accordingly, BES1 stability and protein levels were reduced in BAF1 overexpression plants but increased in a baf1 loss-of-function mutant and in BAF1-DF (BAF1 with F-box deleted, dominant-negative form) overexpression lines. Selective autophagy of BES1, but not bulk autophagy, was significantly compromised in the baf1 mutant under sucrose starvation. BES1 degradation mediated by BAF1 could be blocked through autophagy but not proteasome inhibitors, suggesting that BAF1 mediates BES1 degradation largely through autophagy. baf1 and BAF1-DF overexpression plants had increased BR-regulated growth but were sensitive to long-term sucrose starvation, while BAF1 overexpression plants had decreased BR-regulated growth but were highly tolerant of sucrose starvation. Our results not only established BAF1 as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets BES1 for degradation through selective autophagy pathway, but also revealed a mechanism for plants to reduce growth during sucrose starvation by targeting this central growth regulator.

Proteomic analyses of brassinosteroids mutants in response to salt stress in Arabidopsis

Project description:Salt stress is a major environmental factor limiting plant growth and development. Previous studies have indicated that the steroidal hormones—brassinosteroids (BRs) are important regulators of plant responses to salt stress. We found that bes1-D, a gain-of-function mutant of the BR-regulated transcriptional factor BES1 (AT1G19350) in Arabidopsis showed better salt tolerance than the wild-type plant (Col-0). Label-free based LC-MS/MS and proteomic analyses were performed to investigate protein expression in bes1-D and wild-type in response to salt stress.

Cell type-specific attenuation of brassinosteroid signaling precedes stomatal asymmetric cell division

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, brassinosteroid (BR) signaling and stomatal development are connected through the SHAGGY/GSK3-like kinase BR INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2). BIN2 is a key negative regulator of BR signaling but it plays a dual role in stomatal development. BIN2 promotes or restricts stomatal asymmetric cell division (ACD) depending on its subcellular localization, which is regulated by the stomatal lineage-specific scaffold protein POLAR. BRs inactivate BIN2, but how they govern stomatal development remains unclear. Mapping the single-cell transcriptome of stomatal lineages after triggering BR signaling with either exogenous BRs or the specific BIN2 inhibitor, bikinin, revealed that the two modes of BR signaling activation generate spatiotemporally distinct transcriptional responses. We established that BIN2 is always sensitive to the inhibitor but, when in a complex with POLAR and its closest homolog POLAR-LIKE1, it becomes protected from BR-mediated inactivation. Subsequently, BR signaling in ACD precursors is attenuated, while it remains active in epidermal cells devoid of scaffolds and undergoing differentiation. Our study demonstrates how scaffold proteins contribute to cellular signal specificity of hormonal responses in plants.

Antagonistic Regulation of Abscisic Acid Inhibited Root Growth By Brassinosteroid is Partially Mediated by BRASSINAZOLE RESISTENT 1 suppressed ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 5 expression

Project description:Plant hormone brassinosteroids (BRs) and abscisic acids (ABA) antagonistically regulate many aspects of plant growth and responses. This study analyzes the molecular mechanisms by which regulate the crosstalk between BR and ABA signaling.Various BR deficient and gain-of-function signaling mutants were used to analyze their responses to ABA inhibited primary root growth. RNA sequencing was performed to identify the ABA regulated root genes that are also regulated by BR signaling components.Our result demonstrated that BR signaling negative regulates plant ABA response, and the crosstalk is mediated by BIN2 and BZR1. RNA sequencing has identified subsets of ABA responsive root genes that were regulated by BIN2 and/or BZR1. ChIP-qPCR and EMSA assays showed that BZR1 could bind directly with several G-box cis-elements on ABI5 promoter, suppress the expression of ABI5 and makes plant insensitive to ABA.These data demonstrated that ABI5 is a BZR1 direct targeted gene. Regulation of ABI5 expression by BZR1 plays important roles in regulating the crosstalk between BR and ABA signaling pathways.

Transcriptomic profiling of CRISPR/Cas9-generated mutant of Marchantial polymorpha BES1 transcription factor (Mpbes1)

Project description:Brassinosteroid hormones are essential for growth and development in seed plants. In Arabidopsis, transcriptional factors from the AtBES1 (BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1)/AtBZR1 (BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1) family, are main regulators of steroid phytohormone Brassinosteroids, which finely coordinate gene expression. While genome sequence analysis in Marchantia polymorpha failed to identify BR receptors homologues to the BRI1-family, a homologue of downstream BR-regulated BES1/BZR1 transcription factors is present. Here, we decipher the biological function of MpBES1 in liverwort. Mpbes1 knock out plants have impaired thallus development, pointing up the conservation of BES1 function in organ development. RNAseq analysis of Mpbes1 reveals a prominent deregulation of oxidation processes, responses to stress and carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, in the Arabidopsis orthologs of Mpbes1 deregulated genes, described targets of AtBES1/BZR1 are overrepresented, suggesting a major conservation in the signaling module. In conclusion, this study unravels the origin of BES1/BZR1 family of transcriptional factors in plant cell division.

Overexpression of OsERF71, an AP2/ERF Transcription Factor, Alters Rice Root Structure That Confers Drought Resistance

Project description:Plant responses to drought stress require the regulation of transcriptional networks via drought responsive transcription factors, which mediate a range of morphological and physiological changes. AP2/ERF transcription factors are known to act as key regulators of drought resistance transcriptional networks; however, little is known about the associated molecular mechanisms that give rise to specific morphological and physiological adaptations. In this study, we functionally characterized the rice (Oryza sativa) drought responsive AP2/ERF transcription factor, OsERF71, which is predominantly expressed in the root meristem, pericycle, and endodermis. Overexpression of OsERF71 either throughout the entire plant or specifically in roots, resulted in a drought resistance phenotype at the vegetative growth stage, indicating that overexpression in roots was sufficient to confer drought resistance. The root specific overexpression was more effective in conferring drought resistance at the reproductive stage, such that grain yield was increased by 23-42% over wild type plants or whole-body overexpressing transgenic lines under drought conditions. OsERF71 overexpression in roots elevated the expression levels of genes related to cell wall loosening and lignin biosynthetic genes, which correlated with changes in root structure, the formation of enlarged aerenchyma and high lignification levels. Furthermore, OsERF71 was found to directly bind to the promoter of OsCCR1, a key gene in lignin biosynthesis. These results indicate that the OsERF71-mediated drought resistance pathway recruits factors involved in cell wall modification to enable root morphological adaptations, thereby providing a mechanism for enhancing drought resistance.

Transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis hypocotyls of brl3 mutants and tissue-specific overexpressors under elevated temperatures

Project description:Climate change is having a drastic impact on global agriculture. Indeed stress factors such as elevated temperature, drought and rising atmospheric CO2 reduce arable land surface, crop cultivation and yield and overall sustainable food production on earth. However, plants possess immense innate adaptive plasticity and a more in-depth understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial to strategize for sustaining populations under worsening climate change. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are constitutive plant growth regulators that also control plant adaptation to abiotic stress. Downstream components of the BR biosynthetic pathway, BES1/BZR1 play central role in thermomorphogenesis, but involvement of the BR receptors is not well understood. Here, we show that the BRL3 receptor is essential for plant adaptation to warmer environment. The brl3 mutants lack thermal responsiveness and the BRL3 overexpression causes hyper-thermomorphogenesis response. BRL3 activates canonical BRI1 pathway upon elevated temperature. Further, phloem-specific expression of BRL3 completely rescues the growth adaptation defects of the brl3 mutant. This ability of BRL3 represents a previously unknown thermoresponsive mechanism specifically from phloem and uncouples the roles of BR receptors in generic growth vs adaptation to changing climate conditions.
