Abstract
Cellular auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA) levels are coordinately regulated by IAA biosynthesis and inactivation. IAA is synthesized through sequential reactions by two enzymes, TAA1 and YUCCA, in a linear indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) pathway. TAA1 converts tryptophan to IPA, and YUCCA catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of IPA into IAA. Arabidopsis UDP-glycosyltransferase UGT76F2 (At3g55710) was previously reported to catalyze the glycosylation of IPA and consequently modulate IAA levels. We carefully analyzed the physiological roles of UGT76F2 and its close homolog UGT76F1 (At3g55700) in IAA homeostasis. We generated two independent ugt76f1 ugt76f2 double null Arabidopsis mutants (ugt76f1f2) with a 2.7 kb deletion, along with two independent ugt76f2 single null mutants by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. Surprisingly, these null mutants exhibited indistinguishable phenotypes from the wild-type seedlings under our laboratory conditions. Our results indicate that UGT76F1 and UGT76F2 do not play important roles in regulating IAA biosynthesis via IPA glycosylation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
