Project description:The decision of whether to grow or to divert energy to stress response is a major physiological trade-off for plants in surviving under fluctuating environments. Here we show that three leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) act as direct ligand-perceiving receptors for PLANT PEPTIDE CONTAINING SULFATED TYROSINE (PSY) -family peptides and mediate local switching between two opposing pathways. In contrast to the known LRR-RKs, PSY receptors (PSYRs) activate the expression of various genes encoding stress response transcription factors upon depletion of the ligands. Loss of PSYRs resulted in defects in the plant’s tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. This ligand-deprivation-dependent activation system enables plants to exert tuned regulation of stress responses in the tissues proximal to metabolically dysfunctional damaged sites where ligand production is impaired.

Project description:Receptor kinases (RKs) play fundamental roles in extracellular sensing to regulate development and stress responses across kingdoms. In plants, leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RKs) function primarily as peptide receptors that regulate myriad aspects of plant development and response to external stimuli. Extensive phosphorylation of LRR-RK cytoplasmic domains is among the earliest detectable responses following ligand perception, and reciprocal transphosphorylation between a receptor and its co-receptor is proposed to activate the receptor complex. Originally conceived based on characterization of the brassinosteroid receptor, the prevalence of complex activation via reciprocal transphosphorylation across the plant RK family has not been tested. Using the LRR-RK ELONGATION FACTOR TU RECEPTOR (EFR) as a model RK, we set out to understand the steps critical for activating RK complexes. The EFR cytoplasmic domain is an active protein kinase in vitro and is phosphorylated in a ligand-dependent manner in vivo. Nevertheless, catalytically deficient EFR variants are functional in anti-bacterial immunity. These results reveal a non-catalytic role for the EFR cytoplasmic domain in triggering immune signaling and indicate that reciprocal transphoshorylation is not a ubiquitous requirement for LRR-RK complex activation. Rather, our analysis of EFR along with a detailed survey of the literature suggests a distinction between LRR-RK complexes with RD- versus non-RD-type protein kinase domains. Based on newly identified phosphorylation sites that regulate the activation state of the EFR complex in vivo, we propose that LRR-RK complexes containing a non-RD-type protein kinase may be activated by an allosteric mechanism triggered by activation segment phosphorylation and possibly involving conformational changes of the protein kinase domain of the ligand-binding receptor.

Project description:Plants have a large family of membrane receptor kinases (RKs) which sense extracellular signals to control plant growth, development, immunity, and stress response. The largest group of RKs contains an extracellular leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain with over 200 members in Arabidopsis. However, the functional understanding of most of the LRR-RKs has been hampered by their genetic redundancy and the subtle phenotypes of RK overexpression. Here we show that the rapamycin-mediated heterodimerization of chimeric cytosolic kinase domains from receptor/co-receptor pairs in the plasma membrane can activate their downstream cellular signaling pathway, inducing the specific biological responses, including brassinosteroid, plant immunity, stomatal development, and lateral root development. This chemically controlled synthetic biology approach will be useful to investigate biological functions of LRR-RKs and their signaling pathways.

Project description:Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) disease resistance (R) proteins recognize specific “avirulent” pathogen effectors and activate immune responses. NB-LRR proteins structurally and functionally resemble mammalian Nod-like receptors (NLRs). How NB-LRR and NLR proteins activate defense is poorly understood. The divergently transcribed Arabidopsis R genes, RPS4 (resistance to Pseudomonas syringae 4) and RRS1 (resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum 1), function together to confer recognition of Pseudomonas AvrRps4 and Ralstonia PopP2. RRS1 is the only known recessive NB-LRR R gene and encodes a WRKY DNA binding domain, prompting suggestions that it acts downstream of RPS4 for transcriptional activation of defense genes. We define here the early RRS1-dependent transcriptional changes upon delivery of PopP2 via Pseudomonas type III secretion. The Arabidopsis slh1 (sensitive to low humidity 1) mutant encodes an RRS1 allele (RRS1SLH1) with a single amino acid (leucine) insertion in the WRKY DNA-binding domain. Its poor growth due to constitutive defense activation is rescued at higher temperature. Transcription profiling data indicate that RRS1SLH1-mediated defense activation overlaps substantially with AvrRps4- and PopP2-regulated responses. To better understand the genetic basis of RPS4/RRS1-dependent immunity, we performed a genetic screen to identify suppressor of slh1 immunity (sushi) mutants. We show that many sushi mutants carry mutations in RPS4, suggesting that RPS4 acts downstream or in a complex with RRS1. Interestingly, several mutations were identified in a domain C-terminal to the RPS4 LRR domain. Using an Agrobacterium-mediated transient assay system, we demonstrate that the P-loop motif of RPS4 but not of RRS1SLH1 is required for RRS1SLH1 function. We also recapitulate the dominant suppression of RRS1SLH1 defense activation by wild type RRS1 and show this suppression requires an intact RRS1 P-loop. These analyses of RRS1SLH1 shed new light on mechanisms by which NB-LRR protein pairs activate defense signaling, or are held inactive in the absence of a pathogen effector. Five weeks old Arabidopsis (Ws-2 and rrs1-1) leaves were infiltrated with Pf0-1 carrying PopP2 or PopP2C321A in pEDV6 and samples were collected at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post infiltration (hpi); mRNA profiles were generated in triplet, by deep sequencing on Illumina GAIIx using EXPRSS tag-seq protocol.

Project description:Free fatty acids in mouse plasma were identified and quantified by LC-MS. Through differential feeding and PHZ (phnylhydrazine) dosing, coupled with mass spectrometry, we identified the long chain fatty acid C24:5 as a natural RXRA ligand, which was dynamically increased in concentration in response to hematopoietic stress. Collectively, these data demonstrate that natural RXRA ligands are present and are dynamically regulated in vivo in mouse hematopoietic cells.

Arabidopsis No-0 and slh1 plants were grown for 4 weeks at 28M-BM-0C after germination on MS plate. Plants were transferred to 19M-BM-0C growth chamber at the beginning of the light cycle and samples were harvested at 0 h, 9 h, 12 h, 16 h and 24 h after transfer for total RNA extraction. mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing on Illumina GAIIx using EXPRSS tag-seq protocol. Please note that all 16 samples submitted for this study were sequenced in one lane of Illumina GAIIx and the "No-0_slh1_tempshift_nobarcode.fq" (linked to 'unassigned reads' sample) contains unassigned sequence reads, once sample de-multiplexing has been carried out based on barcode.

Project description:This study examines how histone modification confers salt stress in Arabidopsis. The floral initiator SKB1 is found to mediate the plant’s response to salt stress by altering the methylation status of histone H4R3 and of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) LSM4, and thereby affecting the expression of stress-responsive genes.
