dia28 Cytokinin signaling is mediated by a two-component-like system Input domain Transmitter domain Receiver domain Output domain H D Histidine Kinase Response Regulator A two-component system is a short signaling pathway that moves information from an input to an output. In bacteria it usually consists of two proteins, a histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator (RR)

dia29 Cytokinin signaling is mediated by a two-component-like system ATP H P ADP D Perception at the input domain activates the histidine kinase domain. In bacterial systems the input domain is involved in environmental sensing

dia30 Cytokinin signaling is mediated by a two-component-like system ATP H P ADP D H P D The phosphoryl group is relayed to an aspartate (D) on the receiver domain of the response regulator

dia31 Cytokinin signaling is mediated by a two-component-like system ATP H P ADP D H P D this step involves a transfer of a phosphoryl group rather than another kinase step involving ATP. A twocomponent phosphorelay system is different from a protein kinase cascade

dia32 Downstream of the Receptors: AHPs and ARRs The receptor passes the phosphoryl group to an AHP which passes it to an ARR. Type-B ARRs are transcription factors To, J.P.C., et al.

The Arabidopsis Book: ASPB.

dia36 How do type-a ARRs interfere with CK signaling? There are two nonmutually exclusive possibilities: Type-A ARRs might compete with type-b ARRs for phosphoryl groups Type-A ARRs might have other phosphorylationspecific functions To, J.P.C., et al. (2007) Cytokinin regulates type-a Arabidopsis response regulator activity and protein stability via two-component phosphorelay. Plant Cell 19: 3901-3914.

dia37 CRF activity depends on AHKs and AHPs but not ARRs. CRFs:(cytokinin-response factors) are another family of CK-induced transcription factors CRFs act in parallel with ARRs Mutations in the ARR genes do not affect CRF localization, suggesting it acts in parallel with, not downstream of, the ARRs.

dia43 Role of cytokinin in the regulation of root gravitropism. Aloni R, Langhans M, Aloni E, Ullrich CI. Planta. 2004 Nov;220(1):177-82. Epub 2004 Sep 10 Department of Plant Sciences, Tel Aviv University, 69978, Tel Aviv, Israel, alonir@post.tau.ac.il. The models explaining root gravitropism propose that the growth response of plants to gravity is regulated by asymmetric distribution of auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA). Since cytokinin has a negative regulatory role in root growth, we suspected that it might function as an inhibitor of tropic root elongation during gravity response. Therefore, we examined the free-bioactive-cytokinin-dependent ARR5::GUS expression pattern in root tips of transformants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., visualized high cytokinin concentrations in the root cap with specific monoclonal antibodies, and complemented the analyses by external application of cytokinin. Our findings show that mainly the statocytes of the cap produce cytokinin, which may contribute to the regulation of root gravitropism. The homogenous symmetric expression of the cytokinin-responsive promoter in vertical root caps rapidly changed within less than 30 min of gravistimulation into an asymmetrical activation pattern, visualized as a lateral, distinctly stained, concentrated spot on the new lower root side of the cap cells. This asymmetric cytokinin distribution obviously caused initiation of a downward curvature near the root apex during the early rapid phase of gravity response, by inhibiting elongation at the lower side and promoting growth at the upper side of the distal elongation zone closely behind the root cap. Exogenous cytokinin applied to vertical roots induced root bending towards the application site, confirming the suspected inhibitory effect of cytokinin in root gravitropism. Our results suggest that the early root graviresponse is controlled by cytokinin. We conclude that both cytokinin and auxin are key hormones that regulate root gravitropism. A novel regulatory pathway of sulfate uptake in Arabidopsis roots: implication of CRE1/WOL/AHK4-mediated cytokinin-dependent regulation. Maruyama-Nakashita A, Nakamura Y, Yamaya T, Takahashi H. Plant J. 2004 Jun;38(5):779-89 RIKEN Plant Science Center, 1-7-22 Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama 230-0045, Japan. Cytokinin is an adenine derivative plant hormone that generally regulates plant cell division and differentiation in conjunction with auxin. We report that a major cue for the negative regulation of sulfur acquisition is executed by cytokinin response 1 (CRE1)/wooden leg (WOL)/Arabidopsis histidine kinase 4 (AHK4) cytokinin receptor in Arabidopsis root. We constructed a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter system that generally displays the expression of the high-affinity sulfate transporter SULTR1;2 in Arabidopsis roots. GFP under the control of SULTR1;2 promoter showed typical sulfur responses that correlate with the changes in SULTR1;2 mrna levels; accumulation of GFP was induced by sulfur limitation (-S), but was repressed in the presence of reduced sulfur compounds. Among the plant hormones tested, cytokinin significantly downregulated the expression of SULTR1;2. SULTR1;1 conducting sulfate uptake in sultr1;2 mutant was similarly downregulated by cytokinin. Downregulation of SULTR1;1 and SULTR1;2 by cytokinin correlated with the decrease in sulfate uptake activities in roots. The effect of cytokinin on sulfate uptake was moderated in the cre1-1 mutant, providing genetic evidence for involvement of CRE1/WOL/AHK4 in the negative regulation of high-affinity sulfate transporters. These data demonstrated the physiological importance of the cytokinin-dependent regulatory pathway in acquisition of sulfate in roots. Our results suggested that two different modes of regulation, represented as the -S induction and the cytokinindependent repression of sulfate transporters, independently control the uptake of sulfate in Arabidopsis roots.

dia44 The phenotype of Arabidopsis thaliana det1 mutants suggests a role for cytokinins in greening. Chory J, Aguilar N, Peto CA. Plant Biology Laboratory, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, San Diego, CA 92138. When grown in the absence of light, the det1 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. develop characteristics of light-grown plants as determined by morphological, cellular, and molecular criteria. Further, in light-grown plants, mutations in the DET1 gene affect cell-typespecific expression of light-regulated genes and the chloroplast developmental program. Here we show that the addition of exogenously added cytokinins (either 2-isopentenyl adenine, kinetin, or benzyladenine) to the growth medium of dark-germinated wild-type seedlings results in seedlings that resemble det1 mutants, instead of having the normal etiolated morphology. Like det1 mutants, these dark-grown seedlings now contain chloroplasts and have high levels of expression of genes that are normally 'light'-regulated. These results suggest an important role for cytokinins during greening of Arabidopsis, and may implicate abnormal cytokinin levels or an increased sensitivity to cytokinins as explanations for some of the observed phenotypes of det1 mutants stokomorphogenèse + cytokinine avec chloroplaste avec chloroplaste photomorphogenèse Fig. 18.4
