Nα-Acetyltransferases 10 and 15 are Required for the Correct Initiation of Endosperm Cellularization in Arabidopsis

Plant & Cell Physiology

Abstract

The endosperm and embryo originate from the fertilized central cell and egg cell through a programmed series of cell division and differentiation events. Characterization of more vital genes involved in endosperm and embryo development can help us to understand the regulatory mechanism in more depth. In this study, we found that loss of NAA10 and NAA15, the catalytic and auxiliary subunits of Arabidopsis thaliana N-terminal acetyltransferase A (AtNatA), respectively, led to severely delayed and incomplete endosperm cellularization, accompanied by disordered cell division in the early embryo. Studies on the marker genes/lines of the endosperm (AGL62-GFP, pDD19::GFP, pDD22::NLS-GFP and N9185) and embryo (STM, FIL, SCR and WOX5) in naa10/naa15 mutants showed that expression patterns of these markers were significantly affected, which were tightly associated with the defective feature of endosperm cellularization and embryo cell differentiation. Subsequently, embryonic complementation rescued the abortive embryos, but failed to initiate endosperm cellularization properly, further confirming the essential role of AtNatA in both endosperm and embryo development. Moreover, repression of AGL62 in naa10 and naa15 restored the endosperm ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
