Resumen

La inmunidad de las plantas depende de las señales de calcio. Los investigadores descubrieron que los canales con puerta de nucleótidos cíclicos (CNGC) forman un canal de calcio, activado por una quinasa, para desencadenar respuestas de defensa de la planta al detectar el patógeno.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología vegetal
Inmunología
Biología molecular

Sus antecedentes:

Los patrones moleculares asociados a patógenos (PAMPs) desencadenan la inmunidad innata en las plantas.
La señalización de calcio es crucial para la inmunidad desencadenada por PAMP (PTI) en las plantas, pero los mecanismos subyacentes no están claros.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para aclarar el mecanismo de la señalización de calcio inducida por PAMP en las plantas.
Identificar los componentes moleculares responsables de la afluencia de calcio durante el PTI.

Principales métodos:

Investigó el papel de las proteínas de canal con nucleótido cíclico (CNGC) en Arabidopsis.
Se utilizó un sistema de reconstitución para estudiar la función de las proteínas CNGC2 y CNGC4.
Se examinó la interacción entre los CNGC, la calmodulina y la KINASE1 inducida por BOTRITIS (BIK1).

Principales resultados:

Las proteínas CNGC2 y CNGC4 forman un canal de calcio funcional cuando el suministro de calcio es suficiente.
Este canal CNGC está bloqueado por la calmodulina en estado de reposo.
La efector quinasa BIK1 fosforila y activa el canal CNGC tras el ataque del patógeno, lo que lleva a un aumento del calcio citosólico.

Conclusiones:

El influjo de calcio mediado por CNGC es esencial para la inmunidad desencadenada por PAMP en las plantas.
Esta vía vincula los receptores de reconocimiento de patrones con las respuestas de defensa dependientes del calcio.
El estado nutricional del calcio influye de manera crítica en el PTI dependiente del calcio.

Non-gated Ion Channels

Non-gated Ion Channels

Ion channels are specialized proteins on the plasma membrane that allow charged ions to pass down their electrochemical gradient. Their main function is to maintain the membrane potential which is critical for cell viability. These channels are either gated or non-gated and can transport more than a thousand ions within milliseconds for the cellular event to occur.
Compared to the gated ion channels, the non-gated channels, also known as leakage or passive channels, have no gating mechanism....

Ligand-gated Ion Channels

Ligand-gated Ion Channels

Ligand-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins with a channel for ions to pass through and a binding site for a ligand. The channel opens only when a ligand attaches to the binding site.
Three Subfamilies of Ligand-gated Ion Channels
Ligand-gated ion channels fall into three subfamilies. The 'Cys-loop' includes the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors. The second one is the 'Pore-loop' channels that...

Voltage-gated Ion Channels

Voltage-gated Ion Channels

Voltage-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins that open and close in response to changes in the membrane potential. They are present on the membranes of all electrically excitable cells such as neurons, heart, and muscle cells.
Generally, all voltage-gated ion channels have a 'voltage-sensing domain' that spans the lipid bilayer. The charged residues in the sensor move in response to the membrane potential changes that open the channel allowing ions movement. There are several types of...

Mechanically-gated Ion Channels

Mechanically-gated Ion Channels

Mechanically-gated ion channels are proteins found in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell membranes that open in response to mechanical stress. Tension, compression, swelling, and shear stress can alter the conformation of the protein, opening a transmembrane channel that allows the passage of ions for signal transmission. In eukaryotes, mechanically-gated channels are distributed in several regions like the neurons, lungs, skin, bladder, and heart, where they play critical roles in numerous...

Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: Gating Mechanism

Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: Gating Mechanism

Ligand-gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins that play a vital role in intercellular communication and functions of the nervous system. They allow the influx of ions across the membrane once the neurotransmitter binds, allowing the subsequent transmission of electrical excitation across the neurons. Other ligand-gated ion channels, like the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor, permit anions like chloride into the cells on the binding of the GABA molecule. Their entry into the cell...

G-Protein Gated Ion Channels

G-Protein Gated Ion Channels

GPCRs are primarily responsible for our sense of smell, taste, and vision. The binding of a sensory stimulus activates GPCR to stimulate effector proteins, many of which are ion channels in the sensory organs. GPCRs modulate the opening and closing of the target ion channels either directly by binding them, or by releasing second messengers that activate these channels. As ions move across the membrane, the membrane potential is altered, which induces an appropriate response.
Sensory...
