Hydrogen (H) is a new signaling molecule that regulates stomatal closure via stimulating the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) in Arabidopsis thaliana. GPA1 is the sole heterotrimeric G protein canonical α subunit found in Arabidopsis genome and functions in stomatal closure. Here, we estimated a possible role of Arabidopsis GPA1 in hydrogen-rich water (HRW)-induced stomatal closure. Our data indicated that HRW induced significant stomatal closure as well as the generation of ROS and NO in the Col-0 guard cells. However, the production of ROS and NO and stomatal closure induced by HRW were absent in the gpa1-4 mutant lacking the expression of AtGPA1. By contrast, overexpression of AtGPA1 in gpa1-4 (AtGPA1-HA/gpa1-4) restored stomatal closure and the generation of NO and ROS in the presence of HRW. Taken together, our results suggest that GPA1 is necessary for HRW-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis.
氢气(H)是一种新的信号分子,通过刺激拟南芥中活性氧(ROS)和一氧化氮(NO)的产生来调节气孔关闭。GPA1 是拟南芥基因组中唯一发现的异三聚体 G 蛋白经典α亚基,在气孔关闭中起作用。在这里,我们估计了拟南芥 GPA1 在富氢水中(HRW)诱导气孔关闭中的可能作用。我们的数据表明,HRW 诱导 Col-0 保卫细胞中显著的气孔关闭以及 ROS 和 NO 的产生。然而,在缺乏 AtGPA1 表达的 gpa1-4 突变体中,HRW 诱导的 ROS 和 NO 的产生以及气孔关闭是不存在的。相比之下,在 gpa1-4 中过表达 AtGPA1(AtGPA1-HA/gpa1-4)在 HRW 存在的情况下恢复了气孔关闭和 NO 和 ROS 的产生。综上所述,我们的结果表明,GPA1 是 HRW 诱导拟南芥气孔关闭所必需的。
