Abscisic acid‐controlled redox proteome of Arabidopsis and its regulation by heterotrimeric Gβ protein

Abstract

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays crucial roles in regulation of stress responses and growth modulation. Heterotrimeric G-proteins are key mediators of ABA responses. Both ABA and G-proteins have also been implicated in intracellular redox regulation; however, the extent to which reversible protein oxidation manipulates ABA and/or G-protein signaling remains uncharacterized.To probe the role of reversible protein oxidation in plant stress response and its dependence on G-proteins, we determined the ABA-dependent reversible redoxome of wild-type and Gβprotein null mutant agb1 of Arabidopsis.We quantified 6891 uniquely oxidized cysteine-containing peptides, 923 of which show significant changes in oxidation following ABA treatment. The majority of these changes required the presence of G-proteins. Divergent pathways including primary metabolism, reactive oxygen species response, translation and photosynthesis exhibited both ABA-and Gprotein-dependent redox changes, many of which occurred on proteins not previously linked to them.We report the most comprehensive ABA-dependent plant redoxome and uncover a complex network of reversible oxidations that allow ABA and G-proteins to rapidly adjust cellular signaling to adapt to changing environments. Physiological validation of a subset of these observations suggests that functional G-proteins are required to maintain intracellular redox homeostasis and fully execute plant stress responses.

The Key Role of Plant Hormone Signaling Transduction and Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathways in the Response of Chinese Pine (Pinus tabuliformis) to Feeding Stimulation by Pine Caterpillar (Dendrolimus tabulaeformis)

“…There are multiple ways for plants to remove ROS [ 60 ]. The plant hormone ABA interacts with G proteins to respond to oxidative stress [ 71 , 72 ]. As shown in Figure 10 , the expression of ABA is upregulated.…”

Physiology and transcriptomics highlight the underlying mechanism of sunflower responses to drought stress and rehydration

“… 53 In addition, numerous DEGs were identified as being involved in plant hormone signal transduction pathways, especially ABA signaling pathways ( Figure 6 ). ABA plays a key role in the response to drought stress 54 , 55 and can effectively improve water use efficiency and drought resistance. 56 Among the core components of ABA signaling, overexpression of PYL2 , PYL8 , PP2C , SnRK2 , and ABF enhances drought resistance in plants.…”
