Differential effects of the brefeldin A analogue (6R)-hydroxy-BFA in tobacco and Arabidopsis
2011
The effects of two brefeldin A (BFA) analogues (BFA lactam; 6(R)-hydroxy-BFA) on plant cells were tested. Although these two compounds elicited BFA-like effects in mammalian cells, the lactam analogue failed to elicit a response in plant cells. By contrast, while the 6(R)-hydroxy-BFA analogue gave rise to a classic BFA response in tobacco mesophyll protoplasts and true leaves of Arabidopsis (redistribution of Golgi enzymes into the ER), it failed to cause the formation of BFA-compartments in Arabidopsis root cells and cotyledonary leaves. Even when the GNL1-LM mutant of Arabidopsis, which has a cis-Golgi located BFA-sensitive ARF-GEF, was used, the 6(R)-hydroxy analogue failed to elicit a response at conventional BFA concentrations. Only at concentrations of over 200 μM did 6(R)-hydroxy-BFA elicit a BFA-like effect. These differences are interpreted in terms of the different properties of the respective TGN- (Arabidopsis roots) and cis-Golgi- (tobacco mesophyll) localized BFA-sensitive ARF-GEFs.
