Calcium (Ca(2+)) serves as a critical messenger in a number of adaptation and developmental processes. In plants, CBL family represents a unique group of calcium sensors that decodes calcium signals. Several CBL members have been functionally characterized in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, but the role of CBL7 remains unknown. Here, we report that CBL7 is involved in the regulation of low-nitrate response in Arabidopsis. Expression of CBL7 was predominant in the root of young seedlings and substantially induced by nitrate starvation. Cbl7 mutant was more inhibited in root growth upon nitrate starvation compared to the wild-type. Interestingly, the growth arrest of cbl7 under low-nitrate conditions relied on acidic pH. Further analyses revealed that expression of two high-affinity nitrate transporter genes, NRT2.4 and NRT2.5, was down-regulated in cbl7 under nitrogen-starvation condition. Accordingly, the cbl7 mutant plants retained lower nitrate content than wild-type plants under low-nitrate condition. Taken together, our results uncover a novel role of CBL7 in the response to nitrate deficiency in Arabidopsis.
Phosphate is essential for cell metabolism in all organisms. As it is often limiting in the soil, plants have evolved various mechanisms to cope with low-phosphate conditions. Here, we report that Aluminum Sensitive 3 and NAP3, two genes previously identified to function in aluminum tolerance, play a critical role in plant response to phosphate deficiency. Two T-DNA insertional alleles of ALS3 gene in Arabidopsis showed hypersensitive responses to phosphate limiting conditions. Compared to the wild type, als3 mutant plants exhibited more severe root growth inhibition and developed more root hairs under phosphate starvation. Interestingly, these phenotypic changes occurred only when the low-phosphate medium is supplemented with sucrose, suggesting that ALS3 regulates low-phosphate response in a sugar-dependent manner. Furthermore, NAP3, a gene encoding the nucleotide binding domain protein that physically interacts with ALS3, was implicated in the same pathway in response to low-P. The nap3 mutant showed the same phenotype as the als3 mutant when grown on phosphate depletion medium. We conclude that ALS3 and NAP3 protein form an ABC transporter complex that is required for sugar-dependent response to phosphate deficiency.
