Phosphatidylinositol monophosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) plays an essential role in coordinating plant growth, especially in response to environmental factors. To explore the physiological function of PIP5K, we characterized Arabidopsis thaliana PIP5K9, which is constitutively expressed. We found that a T-DNA insertion mutant, pip5k9-d, which showed enhanced PIP5K9 transcript levels, had shortened primary roots owing to reduced cell elongation. Transgenic plants overexpressing PIP5K9 displayed a similar root phenotype. Yeast two-hybrid assays identified a cytosolic invertase, CINV1, that interacted with PIP5K9, and the physiological relevance of this interaction was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation studies using plant extracts. CINV1-deficient plants, cinv1, had reduced activities of both neutral and acid invertases as well as shortened roots. Invertase activities in pip5k9-d seedlings were also reduced, suggesting a negative regulation of CINV1 by PIP5K9. In vitro studies showed that PIP5K9 interaction indeed repressed CINV1 activities. Genome-wide expression studies revealed that genes involved in sugar metabolism and multiple developmental processes were altered in pip5k9-d and cinv1, and the altered sugar metabolism in these mutants was confirmed by metabolite profiling. Together, our results indicate that PIP5K9 interacts with CINV1 to negatively regulate sugar-mediated root cell elongation.
