The Arabidopsis non-specific phospholipase C (NPC) protein family is encoded by the genes NPC1 - NPC6. It has been shown that NPC4 and NPC5 possess phospholipase C activity; NPC3 has lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase activity. NPC3, 4 and 5 play roles in the responses to hormones and abiotic stresses. NPC1, 2 and 6 has not been studied functionally yet. We found that Arabidopsis NPC1 expressed in Escherichia coli possesses phospholipase C activity in vitro. This protein was able to hydrolyse phosphatidylcholine to diacylglycerol. NPC1-green fluorescent protein was localized to secretory pathway compartments in Arabidopsis roots. In the knock out T-DNA insertion line NPC1 (npc1) basal thermotolerance was impaired compared with wild-type (WT); npc1 exhibited significant decreases in survival rate and chlorophyll content at the seventh day after heat stress (HS). Conversely, plants overexpressing NPC1 (NPC1-OE) were more resistant to HS compared with WT. These findings suggest that NPC1 is involved in the plant response to heat.
拟南芥非特异性磷脂酶C(NPC)蛋白家族由NPC1 - NPC6基因编码。研究表明,NPC4和NPC5具有磷脂酶C活性;NPC3具有溶血磷脂酸磷酸酶活性。NPC3、4和5在植物对激素和非生物胁迫的响应中发挥作用。目前尚未对NPC1、2和6进行功能研究。我们发现,在大肠杆菌中表达的拟南芥NPC1在体外具有磷脂酶C活性。该蛋白能够将磷脂酰胆碱水解为二酰基甘油。NPC1-绿色荧光蛋白定位于拟南芥根中的分泌途径区室。与野生型(WT)相比,敲除T-DNA插入系NPC1(npc1)的基础耐热性受损;热胁迫(HS)后第7天,npc1的存活率和叶绿素含量显著降低。相反,与WT相比,过表达NPC1的植株(NPC1-OE)对HS更具抗性。这些发现表明,NPC1参与了植物对热的响应。
