Phosphoregulation of Ca2+ Influx in Plant Immunity

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2019.10.004Get rights and content

A rapid influx of calcium into the cytosol represents a hallmark of plant immune responses. Recent studies in arabidopsis (Tian et al.) and rice (Wang et al.) reveal that pathogen-responsive receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases phosphorylate and activate calcium-permeable cyclic nucleotide-gated channels to trigger calcium influx, filling a missing link between pathogen perception and calcium signaling.

    Calcium-dependent protein kinases are a class of sensor/responder proteins directly binding Ca2+ which are comprised of an N-terminal variable domain, an auto-inhibitory domain, a kinase domain, and a calmodulin-like domain (Caló et al., 2017). Reactive oxygen species production was further promoted by AtRBOHD through binding Ca2+ directly and activating CDPK-mediated phosphorylation (He et al., 2019). Studies showed that ethylenebis (oxyethylenenitrilo) tetraacetic acid (EGTA) treatment could remarkably prevent NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity in potato tubers (Zhang et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2007).

  • Transcriptional activation and phosphorylation of OsCNGC9 confer enhanced chilling tolerance in rice

    2021, Molecular Plant
    Citation Excerpt :

    The observed physical interaction between OsSAPK8 and OsCNGC9 prompted us to further investigate whether OsCNGC9 is a substrate of OsSAPK8. Previous studies have revealed that phosphorylation of the C terminus of plant CNGCs is involved in their regulation (He et al., 2019; Tian et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2019; Yu et al., 2019). Consistent with this finding, our Y2H assay showed that OsCNGC9 interacts with OsSAPK8 via its C terminus (Supplemental Figure 8).
