Project description:Growth of a complex multicellular organism requires coordinated changes in diverse cell types. These cellular changes generate organs of the correct size, shape and functionality. During plant development, the growth hormone auxin induces stem elongation; however, which cell types of the stem perceive the auxin signal and contribute to organ growth is poorly understood. Here, we show that auxin signalling is required in many cell types for correct hypocotyl stem growth, with a key role for the epidermis. Combining genetic manipulations in Arabidopsis thaliana with transcriptional profiling of the hypocotyl epidermis from Brassica rapa, we show that auxin functions in the epidermis in part by inducing activity of the locally-acting, growth-promoting brassinosteroid pathway. Our findings clarify cell-specific auxin function in the hypocotyl, and highlight the complexity of cell-type interactions within a growing organ.

We performed whole-genome transcriptome (mRNA-Seq) on 5 d-old W light-grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants (CER6pro>>axr3-1::mCit experimental plants and UAS::axr3-1::mCit hemizygous control plants; whole-seedling tissue) treated for 4 h W light or low R:FR shade. In addition, we performed mRNA-Seq on 4 d-old Brassica rapa plants (FPsc strain) treated for 9 h W light or shade. Brassica tissues collected were hypocotyl epidermal peels or whole hypocotyls.

Project description:Analysis of brassinosteroid (BR) and auxin effects on gene expression in Arabidopsis roots. Our genomic results indicate that BR and auxin induce largely opposite gene expression responses in primary roots.

Project description:We found that auxin stimulates gene expression of DWF4, which encodes a rate-dertermining step in brassinosteroid biosynthesis pathways. This increased gene expressioin subsequently led to elevation of the biosynthetic flux in Arabidopsis roots. To determine the list of genes that are regulated by auxin-synthesizing brassinosteroids, we challenged Arabidopsis seedlings with either auxin only or auxin plus brassinosteroid biosynthetic inhibitor brassinazole.

Project description:In plants, an elevation in ambient temperature induces morphological changes including elongation hypocotyls, considered to be adaptive responses to alleviate the heat-induced damages. The high temperature-induced morphological changes are called thermomorphogenesis, which is predominantly regulated by a bHLH transcription factor PIF4. Although PIF4 is expressed in all aerial tissues including the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundle, its tissue-specific functions in thermomorphogenesis are not known. Here, we found that epidermis-specific expression of PIF4 induced constitutive long hypocotyls, while vasculature-specific expression of PIF4 had no effect on hypocotyl growth. Consistently, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that auxin responsive genes and growth-related genes were highly activated by epidermal, but not by vascular, PIF4. The epidermal, but not vascular, inactivation of PIF4 by a PIF4 artificial microRNA or a dominant negative form of PIF4 suppressed thermoresponsive gene expression and hypocotyl growth. Additionally, both the block of epidermal auxin signaling and the epidermal overexpression of a thermosensor phytochrome B (phyB) inhibited thermoresponsive growth, indicating that epidermal PIF4-auxin pathway are essential for the temperature responses. We further show that epidermal PIF4 is increased by high temperatures mainly through the transcriptional activation of PIF4. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the epidermis regulates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway.

Keywords: Hormone treatment Arabidopsis seedlings (Columbia ecotype) were grown for 10 d on 1× MS agar-solidified media under long-day conditions (16:8, white light and dark cycle). The seedlings were then transferred to 2 different liquid media containing either 10–7 M 2,4-D or 10–7 M 2,4-D plus 10–6 M brassinazole. After 8 h of treatment, the seedlings were blotted with paper towels to remove excess media and subject to total RNA isolation. Total RNAs isolated from each batch were prepared from 3 replicate seedlings using an RNeasy plant mini kit (Qiagen, Germany).

Project description:Despite the growing interest in using chemical genetics in plant research, small-molecule target identification remains a major challenge. The cellular thermal shift assay coupled with high-resolution massspectrometry (CETSA MS) that monitors changes in the thermal stability of proteins caused by their interactions with small molecules, other proteins, or post-translational modifications allows the identification of drug targets, or the study of protein-metabolite and protein-protein interactions mainly in mammalian cells. To showcase the applicability of this method in plants, we applied CETSA MS to intact Arabidopsis thaliana cells and identified the thermal proteome of the plant-specific glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor, bikinin. A comparison between the thermal- and the phospho-proteomes of bikinin revealed the auxin efflux carrier PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) as a novel substrate of the Arabidopsis GSK3s that negatively regulate the brassinosteroid signaling. We established that PIN1 phosphorylation by the GSK3s is essential for maintaining its intracellular polarity that is required for auxin-mediated regulation of vascular patterning in the leaf thus, revealing a novel crosstalk between brassinosteroid and auxin signaling.

Project description:We demonstrated that bikinin changed the thermal stability of some of its target proteins as well as several known or putative interacting proteins of Arabidopsis GSK3s. By combining the thermal- and the phospho-proteomes of bikinin we uncovered the auxin carrier PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) as a novel substrate of the Arabidopsis GSK3s. We showed that inhibition the kinase activity of GSK3s by brassinosteroids or the specific chemical inhibitor bikinin led to the loss of PIN1 polarity, revealing a novel crosstalk between brassinosteroid and auxin signaling. Hence, our study demonstrates the applicability of CETSA MS in plant intact cells for identification of small-molecule targets and for discovery of novel protein-protein interactions.
