Article Synopsis
- Aggrephagy is a selective autophagy process that helps manage protein aggregates during cell stress, crucial for protein quality control.
- The study investigates the role of the NBR1 protein in Arabidopsis, finding it is not essential for all types of autophagy but is necessary for forming autophagic vesicles under heat stress.
- NBR1 is proposed to act as a receptor for aggrephagy in plants, helping to maintain protein balance during both stress and normal conditions.
The phosphoinositide pathway and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3) have been implicated in plant responses to many abiotic stresses; however, their role in response to biotic stress is not well characterized. In the current study, we show that both basal defense and systemic acquired resistance responses are affected in transgenic plants constitutively expressing the human type I inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (InsP 5-ptase) which have greatly reduced InsP3 levels. Flagellin induced Ca(2+)-release as well as the expressions of some flg22 responsive genes were attenuated in the InsP 5-ptase plants.
