Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Analysis of an Arabidopsis Transcription Factor, DREB2A, Involved in Drought-Responsive Gene Expression
Yoh Sakuma,Kyonoshin Maruyama,Yuriko Osakabe,Feng Qin,Motoaki Seki,Kazuo Shinozaki,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki +6 more
TL;DR: DREB2A domain analysis using Arabidopsis protoplasts identified a transcriptional activation domain between residues 254 and 335, and deletion of a region between residues 136 and 165 plays a role in the stability of this protein in the nucleus, which is important for protein activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual function of an Arabidopsis transcription factor DREB2A in water-stress-responsive and heat-stress-responsive gene expression.
Yoh Sakuma,Kyonoshin Maruyama,Feng Qin,Yuriko Osakabe,Kazuo Shinozaki,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that transient induction of the DREB2A occurs rapidly by HS stress, and that the sGFP-DREB 2A protein accumulates in nuclei of HS-stressed cells, which indicates that DREBs functions in both water and HS-stress responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional analysis of AHK1/ATHK1 and cytokinin receptor histidine kinases in response to abscisic acid, drought, and salt stress in Arabidopsis
Lam-Son Phan Tran,Takeshi Urao,Feng Qin,Kyonoshin Maruyama,Tatsuo Kakimoto,Kazuo Shinozaki,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki +6 more
TL;DR: Gain- and loss-of-function studies in Arabidopsis indicated that AHK1 is a positive regulator of drought and salt stress responses and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, and cytokinin clearly mediates stress responses because it was required for CRE1 to function as a negative regulator of osmotic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis DREB2A-Interacting Proteins Function as RING E3 Ligases and Negatively Regulate Plant Drought Stress–Responsive Gene Expression
Feng Qin,Yoh Sakuma,Lam-Son Phan Tran,Kyonoshin Maruyama,Satoshi Kidokoro,Yasunari Fujita,Miki Fujita,Taishi Umezawa,Yoriko Sawano,Ken-ichi Miyazono,Masaru Tanokura,Kazuo Shinozaki,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki +12 more
TL;DR: The isolation of Arabidopsis thaliana DREB2A-INTERACTING PROTEIN1 (DRIP1) and DRIP2, C3HC4 RING domain–containing proteins that interact with the DREb2A protein in the nucleus suggest that DRIP1 andDRIP2 function negatively in the response of plants to drought stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Achievements and Challenges in Understanding Plant Abiotic Stress Responses and Tolerance
TL;DR: Progress in understanding the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of stress-responsive gene expression, and studies on hormone interactions under stress have facilitated addressing the molecular basis of how plant cells respond to abiotic stress.
