- W3152164060 abstract "Pectic polysaccharides, a class of plant cell wall polymers, form one of the most complex networks known in nature. Despite their complex structure and their importance in plant biology, little is known about the molecular mechanism of their biosynthesis, modification, and turnover, particularly their structure-function relationship. One way to gain insight into pectin metabolism is the identification of mutants with an altered pectin structure. Those were obtained by a recently developed pectinase-based genetic screen. Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings grown in liquid medium containing pectinase solutions exhibited particular phenotypes: they were dwarfed and slightly chlorotic. However, when genetically different A. thaliana seed populations (random T-DNA insertional populations as well as EMS-mutagenized populations and natural variations) were subjected to this treatment, individuals were identified that exhibit a different visible phenotype compared to wild type or other ecotypes and may thus contain a different pectin structure (pec-mutants). After confirming that the altered phenotype occurs only when the pectinase is present, the EMS mutants were subjected to a detailed cell wall analysis with particular emphasis on pectins. This suite of mutants identified in this study is a valuable resource for further analysis on how the pectin network is regulated, synthesized and modified. Flanking sequences of some of the T-DNA lines have pointed toward several interesting genes, one of which is PEC100. This gene encodes a putative sugar transporter gene, which, based on our data, is implicated in rhamnogalacturonan-I synthesis. The subcellular localization of PEC100 was studied by GFP fusion and this protein was found to be localized to the Golgi apparatus, the organelle where pectin biosynthesis occurs. Arabidopsis ecotype C24 was identified as a susceptible one when grown with pectinases in liquid culture and had a different oligogalacturonide mass profile when compared to ecotype Col-0. Pectic oligosaccharides have been postulated to be signal molecules involved in plant pathogen defense mechanisms. Indeed, C24 showed elevated accumulation of reactive oxygen species upon pectinase elicitation and had altered response to the pathogen Alternaria brassicicola in comparison to Col-0. Using a recombinant inbred line population three major QTLs were identified to be responsible for the susceptibility of C24 to pectinases. In a reverse genetic approach members of the qua2 (putative pectin methyltransferase) family were tested for potential target genes that affect pectin methyl-esterification. The list of these genes was determined by in silico study of the pattern of expression and co-expression of all 34 members of this family resulting in 6 candidate genes. For only for one of the 6 analyzed genes a difference in the oligogalacturonide mass profile was observed in the corresponding knock-out lines, confirming the hypothesis that the methyl-esterification pattern of pectin is fine tuned by members of this gene family. This study of pectic polysaccharides through forward and reverse genetic screens gave new insight into how pectin structure is regulated and modified, and how these modifications could influence pectin mediated signalling and pathogenicity." @default.
