摘要
MOB1 protein is a core component of the Hippo signaling pathway in animals,where it is involved in controlling tissue growth and tumor suppression. Plant MOB1 proteins display high sequence homology to animal MOB1 proteins,but little is known regarding their role in plant growth and development. Herein we report the critical roles of Arabidopsis MOB1(At MOB1A) in auxin-mediated development in Arabidopsis. We found that loss-of-function mutations in At MOB1 A completely eliminated the formation of cotyledons when combined with mutations in PINOID(PID),which encodes a Ser/Thr protein kinase that participates in auxin signaling and transport. We show ed that atmob1 a was fully rescued by its Drosophila counterpart,suggesting functional conservation. The atmob1 a pid double mutants phenocopied several well-characterized mutant combinations that are defective in auxin biosynthesis or transport. Moreover,we demonstrated that atmob1 a greatly enhanced several other known auxin mutants,suggesting that At MOB1 A plays a key role in auxinmediated plant development. The atmob1 a single mutant displayed defects in early embryogenesis and had shorter root and smaller flowers than wild type plants. At MOB1 A is uniformly expressed in embryos and suspensor cells during embryogenesis,consistent with its role in embryo development. At MOB1 A protein is localized to nucleus,cytoplasm,and associated to plasma membrane,suggesting that it plays roles in these subcellular localizations. Furthermore,we showed that disruption of At MOB1 A led to a reduced sensitivity to exogenous auxin. Our results demonstrated that At MOB1 A plays an important role in Arabidopsis development by promoting auxin signaling.
