Abstract

Group VII ethylene response factors (ERF-VIIs) regulate transcriptional adaptation to flooding-induced hypoxia in plants. ERF-VII stability is controlled in an O2-dependent manner by the Cys/Arg branch of the N-end rule pathway whereby oxidation of a conserved N-terminal cysteine residue initiates target degradation. This oxidation is catalyzed by plant cysteine oxidases (PCOs), which use O2 as cosubstrate to generate Cys-sulfinic acid. The PCOs directly link O2 availability to ERF-VII stability and anaerobic adaptation, leading to the suggestion that they act as plant O2 sensors. However, their ability to respond to fluctuations in O2 concentration has not been established. Here, we investigated the steady-state kinetics of Arabidopsis thaliana PCOs 1-5 to ascertain whether their activities are sensitive to O2 levels. We found that the most catalytically competent isoform is AtPCO4, both in terms of responding to O2 and oxidizing AtRAP2.2/2,12 (two of the most prominent ERF-VIIs responsible for promoting the hypoxic response), which suggests that AtPCO4 plays a central role in ERF-VII regulation. Furthermore, we found that AtPCO activity is susceptible to decreases in pH and that the hypoxia-inducible AtPCOs 1/2 and the nonind...Continue Reading
