CDK8 is associated with RAP2.6 and SnRK2.6 and positively modulates abscisic acid signaling and drought response in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: CDK8 is a key subunit of Mediator complex, a large multiprotein complex that is a fundamental part of the conserved eukaryotic transcriptional machinery. However, the biological functions of CDK8 in plant abiotic stress responses remain largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrated CDK8 as a critical regulator in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and drought response pathways in Arabidopsis. Compared to wild-type, cdk8 mutants showed reduced sensitivity to ABA, impaired stomatal apertures and hypersensitivity to drought stress. Transcriptomic and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that CDK8 positively regulates the transcription of several ABA-responsive genes, probably through promoting the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to their promoters. We discovered that both CDK8 and SnRK2.6 interact physically with an ERF/AP2 transcription factor RAP2.6, which can directly bind to the promoters of RD29A and COLD-REGULATED 15A (COR15A) with GCC or DRE elements, thereby promoting their expression. Importantly, we also showed that CDK8 is essential for the ABA-induced expression of RAP2.6 and RAP2.6-mediated upregulation of ABA-responsive genes, indicating that CDK8 could link the SnRK2.6-mediated ABA signaling to RNA polymerase II to promote immediate transcriptional response to ABA and drought signals. Overall, our data provide new insights into the roles of CDK8 in modulating ABA signaling and drought responses.

Reversible Histone H2B Monoubiquitination Fine-tunes Abscisic Acid Signaling and Drought Response in Rice

Project description:Histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1) has been implicated in several important physiological and developmental processes, but its role in the regulation of stress responses remains elusive. Here, we report that H2Bub1 is crucially involved in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and drought response in rice. We found the rice (Oryza sativa) HISTONE MONOUBIQUITINATION2 (OsHUB2), an E3 ligase for H2Bub1, interacted with OsbZIP46, a key transcription factor regulating ABA signaling and drought response in rice. Genetic analyses suggest that OsHUB2, induced by drought and ABA, positively modulates ABA sensitivity and drought resistance. The H2Bub1 levels were increased in the promoters of OsbZIP46 target genes under the drought stress and ABA treatments, and the increased H2Bub1 levels were positively correlated to the increased expression levels of the target genes. Interestingly, MODD, a reported suppressor of ABA signaling and drought resistance through mediation of OsbZIP46 deactivation and degradation, can repress the H2Bub1 level in the promoters of OsbZIP46 target genes by recruiting a putative deubiquitinase OsOTLD1. Suppression of OsOTLD1 in vivo resulted in increased H2Bub1 levels and expression of drought-responsive genes targeted by OsbZIP46. These findings established an elaborate mechanism of histone monoubiquitination in the fine-turning of ABA signaling and drought response via balancing H2Bub1 deposition and removal.

HvABI5 is involved in ABA-dependent drought response in barley

Project description:ABA INSENSITIVE 5 (ABI5) is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor which acts in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and is activated in response to abiotic stresses. It was shown that ABI5 binds ABA RESPONSIVE ELEMENTs (ABRE cis-elements) present in the promoters of regulated genes and activates or represses their transcription in response to stress. However, the precise role of barley (Hordeum vulgare) ABI5 in ABA signaling is still not well understood. We have identified a hvabi5.d mutant using barley TILLING (Targeted Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) platform. hvabi5.d showed drought tolerant phenotype. To identify molecular mechanisms responsible for hvabi5.d response to drought, we perform drought-related gene expression analysis in barley in two genotypes: the wild-type (WT) barley cultivar 'Sebastian’ and hvabi5.d mutant; in two time points: (1) optimal water conditions, and (2) after 10 days of drought stress in the second leaf; analyses were performed in three biological replicates. Global transcriptome analysis (Agilent Barley Microarray) of the mutant and parent cultivar ‘Sebastian’ exposed to drought enabled to identify genes in hvabi5.d which were associated with better response of the mutant to drought. These data increase our understanding of HvABI5-dependent modulation of plant response to the drought stress.

Genome-wide identification of SNAC1-targeted genes involved in drought response in rice

Project description:Drought stress can cause huge crop production losses. Drought resistance consists of complex traits, and is regulated by arrays of unclear networks at the molecular level. A stress-responsive NAC transcription factor gene SNAC1 has been reported for its function in the positive regulation of drought resistance in rice, and several downstream SNAC1 targets have been identified. However, a complete regulatory network mediated by SNAC1 in drought response remains unknown. In this study, we performed Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and RNA-Seq of SNAC1-overexpression transgenic rice (SNAC1-OE) lines and wild-type under normal and moderate drought stress conditions, to identify all SNAC1 target genes at a genome-wide scale by RNA-Seq analyses. We detected 980 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the SNAC1-OE lines compared to the wild-type control under drought stress conditions. By ChIP-Seq analyses, we identified 4,339 SNAC1-binding genes under drought stress conditions (SNAC1BGDs). By combining the DEGs and SNAC1BGDs, we identified 93 SNAC1-targeted genes involved in drought responses (SNAC1TGDs). Most SNAC1TGDs are involved in transcriptional regulation, response to water loss, and other processes related to stress responses. Moreover, the major motifs in the SNAC1BGDs promoters include a NAC recognition sequence (NACRS) and an ABA responsive element (ABRE). SNAC1-OE lines are more sensitive to ABA than wild-type. SNAC1 can bind to the OsbZIP23 promoter, an important ABA signaling regulator, and positively regulate the expression of several ABA signaling genes.

RNA-sequencing of GmWRKY54 over-expression and null plants

Project description:WRKY transcriptional factors play important roles in response to various abiotic stresses. In this study, we demonstrate that inserting a copy of soybean WRKY54 driven by a constitutive promoter of CMP (cestrum yellow leaf curling virus) or a drought induced promoter of RD29a, improves drought tolerance in transgenic soybean plants. GmWRKY54 is a transcriptional activator and regulates expressions of large numbers of stress-related genes. Using a GO enrichment toolkit, we found that GmWRKY54 up-regulated GO terms related to transcriptional regulator and gene expression and down-regulated GO terms related to photosynthesis and membrane. Using a co-expression network analysis, we find that dozens of genes are negatively co-expressing with photosynthetic genes. These genes are related to ABA signaling pathway, Ca2+ signaling pathway and transcriptional factors. Transgenic plants confer drought tolerance through improving stomatal closure, reducing transpiration rate and reducing membrane damage during water deficit. GmWRKY54 activates expression of these ABA or Ca2+ signaling-related genes, which finally regulates stomatal aperture. GmWRKY54 binds to the promoter regions of genes encoding an ABA receptor (PYL8-1), two calcium dependent protein kinase (CPK3-1 and CPK3-2), a CBL (Calcineurin B-like protein) interacting protein kinase (CIPK11-2), a SnRK family protein kinase and a ferritin, suggesting that they are the direct targets of GmWRKY54. Our study reveals that GmWRKY54 significantly improves drought tolerance in soybean and regulates expression of large numbers of drought-related genes, suggesting that GmWRKy54 maybe a master regulator of drought response.

An Arabidopsis Nucleoporin NUP85 modulates plant responses to ABA and salt stress

Project description:Several nucleoporins in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) have been reported to be involved in abiotic stress responses in plants. However, the molecular mechanism of how NPC regulates abiotic stress responses, especially the expression of stress responsive genes remains poorly understood. From a forward genetics screen using an abiotic stress-responsive luciferase reporter (RD29A-LUC) in the sickle-1 (sic-1) mutant background, we identified a suppressor caused by a mutation in NUCLEOPORIN 85 (NUP85), which exhibited reduced expression of RD29A-LUC in response to ABA and salt stress. Consistently, the ABA and salinity induced expression of several stress responsive genes such as RD29A, COR15A and COR47 was significantly compromised in nup85 mutants and other nucleoporin mutants such as nup160 and hos1. Subsequently, Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that NUP85 is potentially associated with HOS1 and other nucleoporins within the nup107-160 complex, along with several mediator subunits. We further showed that there is a direct physical interaction between MED18 and NUP85. Similar to NUP85 mutations, MED18 mutation was also found to attenuate expression of stress responsive genes. Taken together, we not only revealed the involvement of NUP85 and other nucleoporins in regulating ABA and salt stress responses, but also uncovered a potential relation between NPC and mediator complex in modulating the gene expression in plants.

JAZ1 attenuates drought resistance by regulating JA and ABA signaling in rice

Project description:Jasmonates (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are phytohormones known to play important roles in plant response and adaptation to various abiotic stresses including salinity, drought, wounding, and cold. JAZ (JASMONATE ZIM-domain) proteins have been reported to play negative roles in JA signaling. However, direct evidence is still lacking that JAZ proteins regulate drought resistance. In this study, OsJAZ1 was investigated for its role in drought resistance in rice. Expression of OsJAZ1 was strongly responsive to JA treatment, and it was slightly responsive to ABA, salicylic acid, and abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, and cold. The OsJAZ1-overexpression rice plants were more sensitive to drought stress treatment than the wild-type rice Zhonghua 11 (ZH11) at both the seedling and reproductive stages, while the jaz1 T-DNA insertion mutant plants showed increased drought tolerance compared to the wild-type plants. The OsJAZ1-overexpression plants were hyposensitive to MeJA and ABA, whereas the jaz1 mutant plants were hypersensitive to MeJA and ABA. In addition, there were significant differences in shoot and root length between the OsJAZ1 transgenic and wild-type plants under the MeJA and ABA treatments. A subcellular localization assay indicated that OsJAZ1 was localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Transcriptome profiling analysis by RNA-seq revealed that the expression levels of many genes in the ABA and JA signaling pathways exhibited significant differences between the OsJAZ1-overexpression plants and wild-type ZH11 under drought stress treatment. Quantitative real-time PCR confirmed the expression profiles of some of the differentially expressed genes, including OsNCED4, OsLEA3, RAB21, OsbHLH006, OsbHLH148, OsDREB1A, OsDREB1B, SNAC1, and OsCCD1. These results together suggest that OsJAZ1 plays a role in regulating the drought resistance of rice partially via the ABA and JA pathways.

Rebuilding core abscisic acid signaling pathways of Arabidopsis in yeast

Project description:The signaling pathway of the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates responses towards abiotic stress such as drought and high osmotic conditions. The multitude of functionally redundant components involved in ABA signaling, poses a major challenge for elucidating the largely unresolved response selectivity. We decided rebuilding single linear ABA signaling pathways in yeast for combinatoric permutation of ABA receptors and coreceptors, as well as the response-mediating SnRK2 protein kinases and their targeted transcription factors to drive luciferase expression in a heterologous host. We show that SnRK2s differ in the regulation by ABA receptor complexes, affect ABA responsiveness of the pathway, and differ in their transactivation activity but have similar preferences for ABA-responsive transcription factors. SnRK2s thought to act ABA-independently and known to be activated under osmotic stress in plants were regulated by ABA receptor complexes in yeast and competed with ABA receptor components in an ABA-dependent manner in plant tissue. The study reveals the suitability of the yeast system for analysis of ABA signaling factors and allowing the future dissection of ligand-receptor specificities in a functional response pathway. The analysis provides new insights into SnRK2 regulation indicating that four SnRK2 members of the osmotic stress response are tightly embedded into the ABA signaling pathway.

MODD mediates deactivation and degradation of OsbZIP46 to negatively regulate ABA signaling and drought resistance in rice

Project description:Responses to drought in rice are regulated by transcription factor OsbZIP46 via ABA signaling. This work characterizes a protein MODD that negatively regulates OsbZIP46 activity and stability through HDAC-related chromatin remodeling and OsPUB70-mediated ubiquitination, respectively, to fine tune ABA signaling and drought resistance.

Global expression profiling of wild type and transgenic Arabidopsis plants in response to water stress

Project description:Transgenic Arabidopsis plants with constitutively low inositol (1,4,5) triphosphate exhibit an increased tolerance to water stress by an ABA-independent pathway The phosphoinositide pathway and inositol (1,4,5) trisphopsphate (InsP3) are implicated in plant responses to stress. In order to manipulate the pathway and determine the downstream consequences of altered InsP3-mediated signaling, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing the mammalian type I inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, an enzyme that specifically hydrolyzes the soluble inositol phosphates and terminates the signal. Transgenic plants have no morphological differences compared to wild type; however, rapid transient Ca2+ responses to a cold or salt stimulus are reduced by ~ 30%. To further understand the role of InsP3-mediated signaling in plant stress responses we focused on drought stress. Surprisingly, the InsP 5-ptase plants lose less water and exhibited an increased tolerance to drought. Stomatal bioassays showed that transgenic guard cells are less responsive to the inhibition of opening by ABA but show an increased sensitivity to ABA-induced closure. The onset of the drought stress is delayed in the transgenic plants and ABA levels did not increase as much as in the wild type. Transcript profiling has revealed that DREB2A and a subset of DREB2A regulated genes are basally up regulated in the InsP 5-ptase plants. These results indicate that the drought tolerance of the InsP 5-ptase plants is mediated in part via an ABA-independent pathway. The constitutive dampening of the InsP3 signal in this system has uncovered novel regulation and cross talk between signaling pathways. Keywords: drought stress, expression study
