چکیده

Auxin is a main plant growth hormone crucial in a multitude of developmental processes in plants. Auxin biosynthesis via the tryptophan aminotransferase of arabidopsis (TAA)/YUCCA (YUC) route involving tryptophan aminotransferases and YUC flavin-dependent monooxygenases that produce the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) from tryptophan is currently the most researched auxin biosynthetic pathway. Previous data showed that, in maize and arabidopsis, TAA/YUC-dependent auxin biosynthesis can be detected in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) microsomal fractions, and a subset of auxin biosynthetic proteins are localized to the ER, mainly due to transmembrane domains (TMD). The phylogeny presented here for TAA/TAR (tryptophan aminotransferase related) and YUC proteins analyses phylogenetic groups as well as transmembrane domains for ER-membrane localisation. In addition, RNAseq datasets are analysed for transcript abundance of YUC and TAA/TAR proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that ER membrane localisation for TAA/YUC proteins involved in auxin biosynthesis is already present early on in the evolution of mosses and club mosses. ER membrane anchored YUC proteins can mainly be found in roots, while cytosolic proteins are more abundant in the shoot. The distribution between the different phylogenetic classes in root and shoot may well originate from gene duplications, and the phylogenetic groups detected also overlap with the biological function.

Conversion of tryptophan to indole-3-acetic acid by TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASES OF ARABIDOPSIS and YUCCAs in Arabidopsis.

Auxin is an essential hormone, but its biosynthetic routes in plants have not been fully defined. In this paper, we show that the TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE OF ARABIDOPSIS (TAA) family of amino transferases converts tryptophan to indole-3-pyruvate (IPA) and that the YUCCA (YUC) family of flavin monooxygenases participates in converting IPA to indole-3-acetic acid, the main auxin in plants. Bot...

Commentary: Plant Auxin Biosynthesis Did Not Originate in Charophytes

A commentary on Plant auxin biosynthesis did not originate in charophytes The TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE OF ARABIDOPSIS (TAA) family of aminotransferases and the YUCCA (YUC) family of flavin monooxygenases are required for the biosynthesis of auxin (Mashiguchi et al., 2011). However, the origin of TAA-YUC auxin biosynthesis pathway is under hot debate recently (Wang et al., 2014; Yue et al., 2...

The Elegant Simplicity of the Liverwort Marchantia polymorpha.

Plants have evolved several ways to remain dormant until the time is right for growth. For example, seeds maintain dormancy through the antagonistic effects of the phytohormones abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid. Auxin (indole-3-acetic acid [IAA]), in turn, regulates ABA-induced seed dormancy through its interaction with the ABA signaling pathway (Liu et al., 2013). Dormancy is also cruc...

Auxin biosynthesis by the YUCCA flavin monooxygenases controls the formation of floral organs and vascular tissues in Arabidopsis.

Auxin biosynthesis in plants has remained obscure although auxin has been known for decades as a key regulator for plant growth and development. Here we define the YUC gene family and show unequivocally that four of the 11 predicted YUC flavin monooxygenases (YUC1, YUC2, YUC4, and YUC6) play essential roles in auxin biosynthesis and plant development. The YUC genes are mainly expressed in meris...

Auxin Biosynthesis and Catabolism

Auxin concentrations in plants are tightly regulated through both biosynthesis and degradation. In the past few years, much progress was made in the area of auxin metabolism. Genetic and biochemical studies in Arabidopsis unequivocally established a complete tryptophan (Trp)-dependent two-step auxin biosynthesis pathway in which Trp is first converted into indole-3-pyruvate (IPA) by the TAA fam...
