Two closely related subclass II SnRK2 protein kinases cooperatively regulate drought-inducible gene expression.

چکیده
The subclass III group of SNF1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) members is known to play an important role in ABA and osmotic stress signaling in Arabidopsis; however, the roles of other subclasses remain elusive. Here, we established a double mutant of SRK2C/SnR2.8 and SRK2F/SnRK2.7 to investigate the functions of subclass II SnRK2s. Microarray analysis suggested that subclass II SnRK2s regulate some drought-responsive genes involving ABA-responsive element binding transcription factors (AREB/ABF) and their targets, and quantitative reverse transcription- PCR confirmed that those genes were down-regulated significantly in srk2cf. This study indicates that subclass II SnRK2s also play important roles in drought stress signaling in Arabidopsis.

The sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family members are plant unique serine/threonine kinases which play a key role in cellular signaling in response to abiotic stresses. The three SnRK2 members including SRK2D, SRK2I and SRK2E are known to phosphorylate major abscisic acid (ABA) responsive transcription factors, ABF2 and ABF4, involved in an ABA-dependent stress signal...

SNF 1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE 2 (SnRK2) is a family of plant-specific protein kinases which is the key regulator of hyper-osmotic stress signaling and abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent development in various plants. Among the rice subclass-I and -II SnRK2s, osmotic stress/ABA-activated protein kinase 2 (SAPK2) may be the primary mediator of ABA signaling. However, SAPK2 has not been comprehensively ...

When an experience is encrypted into a long-lasting memory, it is believed that specific sets of neurons in the brain of the animal undergo changes including the strengthening of preexisting synapses and the growth and maintenance of new synaptic connections. These activity-dependent synaptic changes appear to require the coordination of a variety of cellular processes in spatially separated ce...
متن کاملSRK2C, a SNF1-related protein kinase 2, improves drought tolerance by controlling stress-responsive gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation are major signaling events induced by osmotic stress in higher plants. Here, we showed that a SNF1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2), SRK2C, is an osmotic-stress-activated protein kinase in Arabidopsis thaliana that can significantly impact drought tolerance of Arabidopsis plants. Knockout mutants of SRK2C exhibited drought hypersensitivity in their root...

The plant-specific sucrose nonfermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family is considered an important regulator of plant responses to abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, salinity, and nutrition deficiency. However, little information is available on how SnRK2s regulate sulfur deprivation responses in Arabidopsis. Large-scale production of SnRK2 kinases in vitro can help to elucidate...
