Responses to Heat and Cold Stress02:45

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

14.2K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Cell Signaling in Plants01:25

Cell Signaling in Plants

5.9K
Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

Other Stress Responses in Bacteria

162
Bacteria have global regulatory systems that control several types of stress mechanisms. These include Pho regulon and the heat shock response, which are essential systems for environmental adaptation, such as nutrient limitation and proteotoxic stress. The Pho regulon and the heat shock response exemplify bacterial resilience, enabling rapid adaptation to fluctuating environmental conditions.Pho RegulonBacteria require phosphorus for essential cellular processes, including nucleic acid...

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response01:31

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

2.8K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

Regulation of Transpiration by Stomata02:04

Regulation of Transpiration by Stomata

29.8K
During photosynthesis, plants acquire the necessary carbon dioxide and release the produced oxygen back into the atmosphere. Openings in the epidermis of plant leaves is the site of this exchange of gasses. A single opening is called a stoma—derived from the Greek word for “mouth.” Stomata open and close in response to a variety of environmental cues.

The Unfolded Protein Response01:37

The Unfolded Protein Response

5.7K
The ER is the hub of protein synthesis in a cell. It has robust systems to quality control protein folding and also for degradation of terminally misfolded proteins. Under normal conditions, a small proportion of misfolded proteins that cannot be salvaged need to be transported to the cytoplasm by the ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathways. However, if the ERAD cannot handle the misfolded proteins, the cell activates the unfolded protein response or UPR to adjust the protein folding...

Area of Science:

  • Plant Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Ethylene response factors (ERFs) are crucial for plant stress responses, but their role in heat stress tolerance is unclear.
  • Understanding ERF gene regulation is vital for improving plant resilience to environmental challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of ethylene signaling and specific ERF genes (ERF95, ERF97) in basal thermotolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms connecting ethylene signaling to heat stress response pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ethylene signaling-defective and constitutively activated mutants.
  • Identification of EIN3 binding sites on ERF95 and ERF97 promoters using ChIP-qPCR.
  • Gene expression analysis and characterization of quadruple ERF mutants (erf95 erf96 erf97 erf98).
  • Investigation of ERF95 and ERF97 protein interactions and their binding to the HSFA2 promoter.

Main Results:

  • Ethylene signaling mutants showed reduced thermotolerance, while activated mutants showed enhanced tolerance.
  • EIN3 directly regulates ERF95 and ERF97 expression.
  • ERF95 and ERF97 overexpression enhanced basal thermotolerance; quadruple mutants showed decreased tolerance.
  • ERF95 and ERF97 interact and regulate heat-responsive genes, including direct binding to the HSFA2 promoter.

Conclusions:

  • The EIN3-ERF95/ERF97-HSFA2 transcriptional cascade is a key pathway in plant basal thermotolerance.
  • Ethylene signaling positively regulates heat stress response through ERF transcription factors.
  • This study establishes a link between ethylene signaling and downstream ERF gene regulation in plant heat tolerance.
