Calcium-responsive phosphorylation of SlLHP1b epigenetically suppresses auxin synthesis to control drought-induced flower drop in tomato
Drought causes the abscission of flowers and fruits, thereby reducing yields. Although trimethylation of histone H3 in the lysine 27 (H3K27me3)-dependent pathway has been shown to control drought responses, the mechanisms underlying drought-induced abscission remain unknown. In this study, we showed that drought-induced calcineurin B-like11 (SlCBL11) upregulation activated the CBL-interacting protein kinase10 (SlCIPK10) to phosphorylate like heterochromatin protein 1b (SlLHP1b) at Thr387 and Thr389, respectively, in stamens of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Phosphorylation at Thr389 improved SlLHP1b stability, and phosphorylation at Thr387/Thr389 enhanced SlLHP1b binding ability to H3K27me3. Hence, SlLHP1b-dependent epigenetic silencing of the expression of SlYUC in stamens was promoted, which decreased the auxin content in stamens, causing the disruption of the auxin gradient in the abscission zone, and eventually flower drop in tomatoes. Overall, we showed a mechanism by which Ca2+ signaling controls H3K27me3 through the SlCBL11-SlCIPK10-SlLHP1b module to inhibit auxin synthesis during drought-induced flower drop.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Cell, established in 2001, is a comprehensive journal that explores a wide range of topics in cell and developmental biology. Our publication encompasses work across various disciplines within biology, with a particular emphasis on investigating the intersections between cell biology, developmental biology, and other related fields. Our primary objective is to present research conducted through a cell biological perspective, addressing the essential mechanisms governing cell function, cellular interactions, and responses to the environment. Moreover, we focus on understanding the collective behavior of cells, culminating in the formation of tissues, organs, and whole organisms, while also investigating the consequences of any malfunctions in these intricate processes.
