The function of ASR (ABA [abscisic acid]-, stress-, and ripening-induced) proteins
remains unknown. A grape ASR, VvMSA, was isolated by means of a
yeast one-hybrid approach using as a target the proximal promoter of a grape putative
monosaccharide transporter (VvHT1). This promoter contains two sugar boxes,
and its activity is induced by sucrose and glucose. VvMSA and VvHT1
share similar patterns of expression during the ripening of grape. Both genes are
inducible by sucrose in grape berry cell culture, and sugar induction of VvMSA
is enhanced strongly by ABA. These data suggest that VvMSA is involved in a
common transduction pathway of sugar and ABA signaling. Gel-shift assays demonstrate
a specific binding of VvMSA to the 160-bp fragment of the VvHT1 promoter
and more precisely to two sugar-responsive elements present in this target. The positive
regulation of VvHT1 promoter activity by VvMSA also is shown in
planta by coexpression experiments. The nuclear localization of the yellow fluorescent
protein-VvMSA fusion protein and the functionality of the VvMSA nuclear localization
signal are demonstrated. Thus, a biological function is ascribed to an ASR protein.
VvMSA acts as part of a transcription-regulating complex involved in sugar and ABA
signaling.
