    A molecular framework for light and gibberellin control of cell elongation (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-01-25
    Description: Cell elongation during seedling development is antagonistically regulated by light and gibberellins (GAs). Light induces photomorphogenesis, leading to inhibition of hypocotyl growth, whereas GAs promote etiolated growth, characterized by increased hypocotyl elongation. The mechanism underlying this antagonistic interaction remains unclear. Here we report on the central role of the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear transcription factor PIF4 (encoded by PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4) in the positive control of genes mediating cell elongation and show that this factor is negatively regulated by the light photoreceptor phyB (ref. 4) and by DELLA proteins that have a key repressor function in GA signalling. Our results demonstrate that PIF4 is destabilized by phyB in the light and that DELLAs block PIF4 transcriptional activity by binding the DNA-recognition domain of this factor. We show that GAs abrogate such repression by promoting DELLA destabilization, and therefore cause a concomitant accumulation of free PIF4 in the nucleus. Consistent with this model, intermediate hypocotyl lengths were observed in transgenic plants over-accumulating both DELLAs and PIF4. Destabilization of this factor by phyB, together with its inactivation by DELLAs, constitutes a protein interaction framework that explains how plants integrate both light and GA signals to optimize growth and development in response to changing environments.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉de Lucas, Miguel -- Daviere, Jean-Michel -- Rodriguez-Falcon, Mariana -- Pontin, Mariela -- Iglesias-Pedraz, Juan Manuel -- Lorrain, Severine -- Fankhauser, Christian -- Blazquez, Miguel Angel -- Titarenko, Elena -- Prat, Salome -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jan 24;451(7177):480-4. doi: 10.1038/nature06520.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departamento de Genetica Molecular de Plantas, Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia-CSIC, Campus Univ.

    An Arabidopsis gene regulatory network for secondary cell wall synthesis (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-12-24
    Description: The plant cell wall is an important factor for determining cell shape, function and response to the environment. Secondary cell walls, such as those found in xylem, are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and account for the bulk of plant biomass. The coordination between transcriptional regulation of synthesis for each polymer is complex and vital to cell function. A regulatory hierarchy of developmental switches has been proposed, although the full complement of regulators remains unknown. Here we present a protein-DNA network between Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors and secondary cell wall metabolic genes with gene expression regulated by a series of feed-forward loops. This model allowed us to develop and validate new hypotheses about secondary wall gene regulation under abiotic stress. Distinct stresses are able to perturb targeted genes to potentially promote functional adaptation. These interactions will serve as a foundation for understanding the regulation of a complex, integral plant component.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4333722/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4333722/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Taylor-Teeples, M -- Lin, L -- de Lucas, M -- Turco, G -- Toal, T W -- Gaudinier, A -- Young, N F -- Trabucco, G M -- Veling, M T -- Lamothe, R -- Handakumbura, P P -- Xiong, G -- Wang, C -- Corwin, J -- Tsoukalas, A -- Zhang, L -- Ware, D -- Pauly, M -- Kliebenstein, D J -- Dehesh, K -- Tagkopoulos, I -- Breton, G -- Pruneda-Paz, J L -- Ahnert, S E -- Kay, S A -- Hazen, S P -- Brady, S M -- R01 GM056006/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM107311/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM056006/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM107311/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R25 GM056765/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RC2 GM092412/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RC2GM092412/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jan 29;517(7536):571-5. doi: 10.1038/nature14099.

    PIF4-induced BR synthesis is critical to diurnal and thermomorphogenic growth (2018)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018
    Description: 〈p〉The 〈i〉Arabidopsis 〈/i〉PIF4 and BES1/BZR1 transcription factors antagonize light signaling by facilitating co-activated expression of a large number of cell wall-loosening and auxin-related genes. While PIF4 directly activates expression of these targets, BES1 and BZR1 activity switch from a repressive to an activator function, depending on interaction with TOPLESS and other families of regulators including PIFs. However, the complexity of this regulation and its role in diurnal control of plant growth and brassinosteroid (BR) levels is little understood. We show by using a protein array that BES1, PIF4, and the BES1-PIF4 complex recognize different DNA elements, thus revealing a distinctive cis-regulatory code beneath BES1-repressive and PIF4 co-activation function. BES1 homodimers bind to conserved BRRE- and G-box elements in the BR biosynthetic promoters and inhibit their expression during the day, while elevated PIF4 competes for BES1 homodimer formation, resulting in de-repressed BR biosynthesis at dawn and in response to warmth. Our findings demonstrate a central role of PIF4 in BR synthesis activation, increased BR levels being essential to thermomorphogenic hypocotyl growth.〈/p〉

    Regulation of Root Angle and Gravitropism (2018)
    Genetics Society of America (GSA)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-12-11
    Description: Regulation of plant root angle is critical for obtaining nutrients and water and is an important trait for plant breeding. A plant’s final, long-term root angle is the net result of a complex series of decisions made by a root tip in response to changes in nutrient availability, impediments, the gravity vector and other stimuli. When a root tip is displaced from the gravity vector, the short-term process of gravitropism results in rapid reorientation of the root toward the vertical. Here, we explore both short- and long-term regulation of root growth angle, using natural variation in tomato to identify shared and separate genetic features of the two responses. Mapping of expression quantitative trait loci mapping and leveraging natural variation between and within species including Arabidopsis suggest a role for PURPLE ACID PHOSPHATASE 27 and CELL DIVISION CYCLE 73 in determining root angle.

    miR-58 family and TGF-{beta} pathways regulate each other in Caenorhabditis elegans (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-11-17
    Description: Despite the fact that microRNAs (miRNAs) modulate the expression of around 60% of protein-coding genes, it is often hard to elucidate their precise role and target genes. Studying miRNA families as opposed to single miRNAs alone increases our chances of observing not only mutant phenotypes but also changes in the expression of target genes. Here we ask whether the TGF-β signalling pathways, which control many animal processes, might be modulated by miRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans . Using a mutant for four members of the mir-58 family, we show that both TGF-β Sma/Mab (controlling body size) and TGF-β Dauer (regulating dauer, a stress-resistant larval stage) are upregulated. Thus, mir-58 family directly inhibits the expression of dbl-1 (ligand), daf-1 , daf-4 and sma-6 (receptors) of TGF-β pathways. Epistasis experiments reveal that whereas the small body phenotype of the mir-58 family mutant must invoke unknown targets independent from TGF-β Sma/Mab, its dauer defectiveness can be rescued by DAF-1 depletion. Additionally, we found a negative feedback loop between TGF-β Sma/Mab and mir-58 and the related mir-80 . Our results suggest that the interaction between mir-58 family and TGF-β genes is key on decisions about animal growth and stress resistance in C. elegans and perhaps other organisms.
