Lipid signaling in plant cell division and organogenesis

 
 

How plant cells positioned their division planes during morphogenesis?


During the life cycle of any multicellular organism, cell division contributes to the generation of specialized cells, which are necessary to form tissues and carry out particular functions. Therefore, the mechanisms of cell division need to be tightly regulated, as malfunctions in their control can lead to tumour formation or developmental defects. This is particularly true in land plants, where cells cannot migrate and therefore cytokinesis is key for morphogenesis. In plant, cell division is executed in radically different manners than animals, with the appearance of new structures (cell plate, cytokinetic phragmoplast and the preprophase band (PPB) of microtubules) and the disappearance of ancestral mechanisms (cleavage, centrosomes).


A crucial feature of cell division is how cells position their division plane. It has even more significance for walled organisms, because their cells are embedded and cannot relocate. The memory of the cell division plane is maintained throughout plant cell division by a landmark at the equatorial periphery of the cell. Recent evidence shows that membrane lipids such as phosphoinositides (PIPs) are important for cell division orientation in plants. Phosphoinositides are ubiquitous regulators of signal transduction events in eukaryotic cells. They are produced by mono-, bis- and trisphosphorylation of the inositol head group of phosphatidylinositol. Due to their charged nature, phosphoinositides may create localized docking sites for proteins—for example, cytoskeletal and trafficking regulators—thereby defining specific membrane domains.


We are currently investigating the interplay between the phosphoinositides and the cytoskeleton during plant cell division using Arabidopsis and BY2-cells as models.


We want now to address:


  1. What is the crosstalk between the phosphoinositides at the plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton during mitosis ?

  2. How the phosphoinositides-patterning, together with the cytoskeleton, are organized in dividing root cells ?

  3. What is the impact of local perturbation of the phosphoinositides-patterning on cell division orientation ?

  4. What are the upstream components responsible for the distribution of the phosphoinositides during cytokinesis ?


Results gained from the ongoing research will provide a better understanding of the signaling mechanisms coupling PIP-metabolism and cell division, the latest being fundamental in regulating organismal growth.

 

Our research is based on cell and developmental biology approaches, such as live confocal imaging, expression pattern analysis, mutant phenotype description, genetics as well as protein biochemistry
