title: Cytosol-localized heat shock factor-binding protein, AtHSBP, functions as a negative regulator of heat shock response by translocation to the nucleus and is required for seed development in Arabidopsis.
abstract: Heat shock response (HSR) is a universal mechanism in all organisms. It is under tight regulation by heat shock factors (HSFs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) after heat shock (HS) to prevent stress damage. On the attenuation of HSR, HSP70 and HSF Binding Protein1 (HSBP1) interact with HSF1 and thus dissociate trimeric HSF1 into an inert monomeric form in humans. However, little is known about the effect of HSBP with thermal stress in plants. This report describes our investigation of the role of AtHSBP in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by genetic and molecular approaches. AtHSBP was heat inducible and ubiquitously expressed in all tissues; AtHSBP was also crucial for seed development, as demonstrated by AtHSBP-knockout lines showing seed abortion. Thermotolerance results showed that AtHSBP participates in acquired thermotolerance but not basal thermotolerance and is a negative regulator of HSR. Subcellular localization revealed that the cytosol-localized AtHSBP translocated to the nucleus in response to HS. Protoplast two-hybrid assay results confirmed that AtHSBP interacts with itself and with the HSFs, AtHSFA1a, AtHSFA1b, and AtHSFA2. AtHSBP also negatively affected AtHSFA1b DNA-binding capacity in vitro. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western-blot analysis demonstrated that altered levels of AtHSBP lead to differential HSP expression, mainly during the recovery from HS. These studies provide a new insight into HSBP in plants and reveal that AtHSBP is a negative regulator of HSR and required for seed development.
