Spatial and temporal control of cell wall deposition plays a unique and critical role during growth and development in plants. To characterize membrane trafficking pathways involved in these processes, we have examined the function of a plant Rab GTPase, RabA4b, during polarized expansion in developing root hair cells. Whereas a small fraction of RabA4b cofractionated with Golgi membrane marker proteins, the majority of this protein labeled a unique membrane compartment that did not cofractionate with the previously characterized trans-Golgi network syntaxin proteins SYP41 and SYP51. An enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP)-RabA4b fusion protein specifically localizes to the tips of growing root hair cells in Arabidopsis thaliana. Tip-localized EYFP-RabA4b disappears in mature root hair cells that have stopped expanding, and polar localization of the EYFP-RabA4b is disrupted by latrunculin B treatment. Loss of tip localization of EYFP-RabA4b was correlated with inhibition of expansion; upon washout of the inhibitor, root hair expansion recovered only after tip localization of the EYFP-RabA4b compartments was reestablished. Furthermore, in mutants with defective root hair morphology, EYFP-RabA4b was improperly localized or was absent from the tips of root hair cells. We propose that RabA4b regulates membrane trafficking through a compartment involved in the polarized secretion of cell wall components in plant cells.
