PI3K and its product PI3P are both involved in plant development and stress responses. In this study, the down-regulation of PI3K activity accelerated leaf senescence induced by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and suppressed the activation of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase). Yeast two-hybrid analyses indicated that PI3K bound to the V-ATPase B subunit (VHA-B). Analysis of bimolecular fluorescence complementation in tobacco guard cells showed that PI3K interacted with VHA-B2 in the tonoplasts. Through the use of pharmacological and genetic tools, we found that PI3K and V-ATPase promoted vacuolar acidification and stomatal closure during leaf senescence. Vacuolar acidification was suppressed by the PIKfyve inhibitor in 35S:AtVPS34-YFP Arabidopsis during MeJA-induced leaf senescence, but the decrease was lower than that in YFP-labeled Arabidopsis. These results suggest that PI3K promotes V-ATPase activation and consequently induces vacuolar acidification and stomatal closure, thereby delaying MeJA-induced leaf senescence.
磷脂酰肌醇-3激酶(PI3K)及其产物磷脂酰肌醇-3磷酸(PI3P)均参与植物发育和胁迫响应。在本研究中,PI3K活性的下调加速了茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)诱导的叶片衰老,并抑制了液泡H(+) -ATP酶(V-ATPase)的激活。酵母双杂交分析表明,PI3K与V-ATPase B亚基(VHA-B)结合。烟草保卫细胞中的双分子荧光互补分析表明,PI3K与液泡膜上的VHA-B2相互作用。通过药理学和遗传学手段,我们发现PI3K和V-ATPase在叶片衰老过程中促进液泡酸化和气孔关闭。在MeJA诱导的叶片衰老过程中,PIKfyve抑制剂抑制了35S:AtVPS34-YFP拟南芥中的液泡酸化,但下降幅度低于YFP标记的拟南芥。这些结果表明,PI3K促进V-ATPase激活,从而诱导液泡酸化和气孔关闭,进而延缓MeJA诱导的叶片衰老。
