The Sink-Specific and Stress-Regulated Arabidopsis STP4 Gene: Enhanced Expression of a Gene Encoding a Monosaccharide Transporter by Wounding, Elicitors, and Pathogen Challenge

A cDNA for the Arabidopsis STP4 gene (for sugar transport protein 4) was
isolated, and the properties of the encoded protein were studied in
Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The STP4 monosaccharide H+ symporter is composed
of 514 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 57.1 kD. RNA gel
blot analyses revealed that STP4 is expressed primarily in roots and
flowers of Arabidopsis. This was shown in more detail with STP4
promoter-[beta]-glucuronidase (GUS) plants yielding strong STP4-driven GUS
activity in root tips and anthers. Wounding of plants transformed with
STP4-GUS constructs resulted in a rapid increase in GUS activity in cells
directly adjacent to the lesion. This was confirmed by RNase protection
analyses in Arabidopsis wild-type plants showing a strong, wound-induced
increase in STP4 mRNA levels. STP4 expression was induced rapidly in
suspension-cultured Arabidopsis cells that were treated with the
Pseudomonas syringae elicitor or with chitin or in Arabidopsis plants that
were exposed to fungal attacks. Our data suggest that the role of STP4 is
to catalyze monosaccharide import into classic sinks, such as root tips and
anthers, and, most importantly, to meet the increased carbohydrate demand
of cells responding to environmental stress.
