Arabidopsis stt3a-1 and stt3a-2 mutations cause NaCl/osmotic sensitivity
that is characterized by reduced cell division in the root meristem. Sequence comparison
of the STT3a gene identified a yeast ortholog, STT3, which encodes
an essential subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase complex that is involved in
protein N-glycosylation. NaCl induces the unfolded protein response in the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cell cycle arrest in root tip cells of stt3a
seedlings, as determined by expression profiling of ER stress-responsive chaperone
(BiP-GUS) and cell division (CycB1;1-GUS
) genes, respectively. Together, these results indicate that plant salt stress adaptation
involves ER stress signal regulation of cell cycle progression. Interestingly, a
mutation (stt3b-1) in another Arabidopsis STT3 isogene (STT3b)
does not cause NaCl sensitivity. However, the stt3a-1 stt3b-1 double mutation
is gametophytic lethal. Apparently, STT3a and STT3b have overlapping and essential
functions in plant growth and developmental processes, but the pivotal and specific
protein glycosylation that is a necessary for recovery from the unfolded protein
response and for cell cycle progression during salt/osmotic stress recovery is associated
uniquely with the function of the STT3a isoform.
