Arabidobsis ATR7 2020 RNAseq
收藏资源简介:
Oxidative stress can lead to plant growth retardation, yield loss, and death. The <em>atr7</em> mutant of <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> exhibits pronounced tolerance to oxidative stress. Using positional cloning, confirmed by knockout and RNA interference (RNAi) lines, we identified the <em>atr7</em> mutation and revealed that <em>ATR7</em> is a previously uncharacterized gene with orthologs in other seed plants but with no homology to genes in lower plants, fungi or animals. Expression of <em>ATR7</em>-<em>GFP</em> fusion shows that ATR7 is a nuclear-localized protein. RNA-seq analysis reveals that transcript levels of genes encoding abiotic- and oxidative stress-related transcription factors (<em>DREB19, HSFA2, ZAT10</em>), chromatin remodelers (<em>CHR34</em>), and unknown or uncharacterized proteins (<em>AT5G59390, AT1G30170, AT1G21520</em>) are elevated in <em>atr7</em>. This indicates that <em>atr7</em> is primed for an upcoming oxidative stress via pathways involving genes of unknown functions. Collectively, the data reveal <em>ATR7</em> as a novel seed plants-specific nuclear regulator of oxidative stress response.
