      3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase1 Interacts with NORK and Is Crucial for Nodulation in Medicago truncatula
      Zoltán Kevei, Géraldine Lougnon, Peter Mergaert, Gábor V. Horváth, Attila Kereszt, Dhileepkumar Jayaraman, Najia Zaman, Fabian Marcel, Krzysztof Regulski, György B. Kiss, Adam Kondorosi, Gabriella Endre, Eva Kondorosi, Jean-Michel Ané
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3974-3989; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.053975

      The nodule-specific receptor-like kinase NORK is part of the Nod factor signaling pathway mediating root nodule development. This study shows that HMGR1, a key enzyme in the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway, interacts specifically with NORK and is crucial for nodulation. Recruitment of HMGR1 by NORK couples the isoprenoid pathway to symbiotic signaling and nodule development.

      A CRM Domain Protein Functions Dually in Group I and Group II Intron Splicing in Land Plant Chloroplasts
      Yukari Asakura, Alice Barkan
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3864-3875; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055160

      Group II introns are protein-dependent ribozymes prevalent in plant organelles. It is shown that the CRM RNA binding domain protein CFM2 acts with other CRM proteins to promote splicing of plastid group II introns and also aids group I intron splicing. This work expands the repertoire of RNA ligands known for CRM proteins and suggests an unanticipated complexity of chloroplast splicing mechanisms.

      Gibberellin Regulates Pollen Viability and Pollen Tube Growth in Rice
      Tory Chhun, Koichiro Aya, Kenji Asano, Eiji Yamamoto, Yoichi Morinaka, Masao Watanabe, Hidemi Kitano, Motoyuki Ashikari, Makoto Matsuoka, Miyako Ueguchi-Tanaka
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3876-3888; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054759

      This study shows that rice gibberellin (GA)–deficient mutations are transmitted in a non-Mendelian manner, whereas GA-insensitive mutations are transmitted normally. Analysis of pollen phenotypes and expression patterns of GA-related genes revealed that the transmission of GA-signaling genes occurs in a sporophytic manner and that of GA synthesis genes occurs in a gametophytic manner.

      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3889-3900; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055863

      Whilst a great deal is known about how auxin promotes lateral root development, the mechanism of cytokinin repression is still unclear. This study shows that cytokinin inhibits lateral root initiation by downregulating the expression of auxin efflux carrier-encoding PIN genes in lateral root founder cells.

      Interaction between SGT1 and Cytosolic/Nuclear HSC70 Chaperones Regulates Arabidopsis Immune Responses
      Laurent D. Noël, Giuseppe Cagna, Johannes Stuttmann, Lennart Wirthmüller, Shigeyuki Betsuyaku, Claus-Peter Witte, Riyaz Bhat, Nathalie Pochon, Thomas Colby, Jane E. Parker
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 4061-4076; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.051896

      The authors show that association in vivo between the plant cochaperone SGT1 and cytosolic/nuclear HSC70 chaperones is necessary for several biotic and abiotic stress responses. The SGT1-HSC70 interaction is mediated by the evolutionarily conserved SGT1 C-terminal SGS domain.

      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 4007-4021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.050609

      This work demonstrates that the Arabidopsis seed coat can be used as a model system to identify enzymes that impact the properties of pectins in seed mucilage. The MUM2 gene encodes a β-galactosidase that is secreted to the apoplast and is required for the modification of pectin side chains, thus allowing mucilage expansion when mature seeds are hydrated.

      An Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response in Arabidopsis Is Mediated by Proteolytic Processing and Nuclear Relocation of a Membrane-Associated Transcription Factor, bZIP28
      Jian-Xiang Liu, Renu Srivastava, Ping Che, Stephen H. Howell
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 4111-4119; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.106.050021

      This work identifies a membrane-associated bZIP transcription factor that serves as a sensor/transducer in the unfolded protein response in Arabidopsis. In response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, the transcriptional component of the sensor/transducer is activated and relocates from the ER to the nucleus, where it upregulates the expression of genes encoding ER folding proteins.

      Nguyen Phuong Thao, Letian Chen, Ayako Nakashima, Shin-ichiro Hara, Kenji Umemura, Akira Takahashi, Ken Shirasu, Tsutomu Kawasaki, Ko Shimamoto
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 4035-4045; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055517

      Rac/Rop GTPase plays an important role in innate immune responses in rice, but its molecular mechanism is not well understood. This study shows that it can form a complex with RAR1 and HSP90, which are conserved components of innate immunity responses in plants.

      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3930-3943; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054288

      The Arabidopsis ABC membrane transporter P-glycoprotein4 (PGP4) exhibits auxin influx transporter activity in vitro in yeast and animal cells. Taking advantage of the auxin-sensitive Arabidopsis root hair and tobacco cell suspension systems, this study indicates that PGP4 functions as an auxin efflux transporter in plant cells and that its membrane trafficking can be modulated by auxin.

      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3901-3914; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.052662

      This work shows that phosphorylation of the receiver domain is required for type-A ARR function, and negative regulation of cytokinin signaling by type-A ARRs most likely involves phosphorylation-dependent interactions. The results shed light on the mechanism by which type-A ARRs negatively regulate cytokinin signaling and reveal a novel mechanism by which cytokinin controls type-A ARR function.

      The nodule-specific receptor-like kinase NORK is part of the Nod factor signaling pathway mediating root nodule development. This study shows that HMGR1, a key enzyme in the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway, interacts specifically with NORK and is crucial for nodulation. Recruitment of HMGR1 by NORK couples the isoprenoid pathway to symbiotic signaling and nodule development.

      Jennifer P.C. To, Jean Deruère, Bridey B. Maxwell, Veronica F. Morris, Claire E. Hutchison, Fernando J. Ferreira, G. Eric Schaller, Joseph J. Kieber
      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3901-3914; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.052662

      This work shows that phosphorylation of the receiver domain is required for type-A ARR function, and negative regulation of cytokinin signaling by type-A ARRs most likely involves phosphorylation-dependent interactions. The results shed light on the mechanism by which type-A ARRs negatively regulate cytokinin signaling and reveal a novel mechanism by which cytokinin controls type-A ARR function.

      Reactive oxygen species produced by NADPH oxidase (called the regulatory burst oxidase homolog or Rboh in plants) are important for the regulation of plant growth, development, and defense against pathogens. However, the regulatory mechanism of NADPH oxidase activity is unclear. This study shows that Rac GTPase binds to the N-terminal region and regulates the activity of Rboh in rice.

      Plant Cell Dec 2007, 19 (12) 3961-3973; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.106.049999

      The M-locus protein kinase (MLPK) is a cytoplasmic protein kinase essential for self-incompatibility (SI) signaling in Brassica. This work shows that MLPK has two isoforms that localize to the plasma membrane by different molecular mechanisms. Further analyses suggest that these MLPK isoforms interact directly with the S-locus receptor kinase on the plasma membrane to transduce SI signaling.

      This work shows that phosphorylation of the receiver domain is required for type-A ARR function, and negative regulation of cytokinin signaling by type-A ARRs most likely involves phosphorylation-dependent interactions. The results shed light on the mechanism by which type-A ARRs negatively regulate cytokinin signaling and reveal a novel mechanism by which cytokinin controls type-A ARR function.
