Salicylic acid-induced gene expression in wild-type Col-0 and mutant upl1, upl5, and npr1-1 Arabidopsis thaliana plants
The plant immune hormone salicylic acid (SA) modulates transcriptional reprogramming via controlling the master transcriptional coactivator, NPR1. Here we examined the role of HECT-type ubiquitin ligases, UPL1 and UPL5, in SA/NPR1-dependent transcriptional control. We showed that UPL1 and UPL5 are essential regulators of SA-responsive genes, and regulate SA-induced transcriptional reprogramming in a NPR1-dependent manner. Four-week old Arabidopsis thaliana plants of wild-type Col-0, mutant upl1, mutant upl5, and mutant npr1-1 genotypes were germinated on soil in 100% relative humidity. Plants were continuously grown in an environmental chamber with 16/8 hour day/night light regime (120 mol m-2 s-1 light intensity), 21/18 degrees celcius day/night cycle and 65% relative humidity. 4-week-old plants were sprayed with water or 0.5 mM SA until all leaves were thoroughly covered with fine droplets, samples were collected after 24 hours treatment. In total two independent biological repeats were collected.
