Paper
A cell surface arabinogalactan-peptide influences root hair cell fate
2019
Overview
Root hairs (RHs) develop from specialized epidermal cells called trichoblasts, whereas epidermal cells that lack RHs are known as atrichoblasts. The mechanism controlling root epidermal cell fate is only partially understood. Root epidermis cell fate is regulated by a transcription factor complex that promotes the expression of the homeodomain protein GLABRA 2 (GL2), which blocks RH development by inhibiting ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6 (RHD6). Suppression of GL2 expression activates RHD6, a series of downstream TFs including ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6 LIKE-4 (RSL4 [Yi et al. 2010]) and their target genes, and causes epidermal cells to develop into RHs. Brassinosteroids (BRs) influence root epidermis cell fate. In the absence of BRs, phosphorylated BIN2 (a Type-II GSK3-like kinase) inhibits a protein complex that directly downregulates GL2 [Chen et al. 2014]. Here, we show that the genetic and pharmacological perturbation of the arabinogalactan peptide (AG) AGP21 in Arabidopsis thaliana, triggers aberrant RH development, similar to that observed in plants with defective BR signaling. We reveal that an O-glycosylated AGP21 peptide, which is positively regulated by BZR1, a transcription factor activated by BR signaling, affects RH cell fate by altering GL2 expression in a BIN2-dependent manner. These results suggest that perturbation of a cell surface AGP disrupts BR responses and inhibits the downstream effect of BIN2 on the RH repressor GL2 in root epidermal cells. In addition, AGP21 also acts in a BR-independent, AGP-dependent mode that together with BIN2 signalling cascade controls RH cell fate.
