Abstract

Main conclusion

NO was involved in H2-induced adventitious rooting by regulating the protein and gene expressions of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3. Simultaneously, the interaction of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 protein was also involved in this process.

Abstract

Hydrogen gas (H2) and nitric oxide (NO) have been shown to be involved in plant growth and development. The results in this study revealed that NO was involved in H2-induced adventitious root formation. Western blot (WB) analysis showed that the protein abundances of plasma membrane H+-ATPase (PM H+-ATPase) and 14-3-3 protein were increased after H2, NO, H2 plus NO treatments, whereas their protein abundances were down regulated when NO scavenger carboxy‐2‐(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide (cPTI O) was added. Moreover, the mRNA abundances of the HA3 and 14-3-3(7) gene as well as the activities of PM H+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.35) and H+ pump were in full agreement with the changes of protein abundance. Phosphorylation of PM H+-ATPase and the interaction of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 protein were detected by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. H2 and NO significantly up regulated the phosphorylation of PM H+-ATPase and the interaction of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 protein. Conversely, the stimulation of PM H+-ATPase phosphorylation and protein interaction were significantly diminished by cPTIO. Protein interaction activator fusicoccin (FC) and inhibitor adenosine monophosphate (AMP) of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 were used in this study, and the results showed that FC significantly increased the abundances of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3, while AMP showed opposite trends. We further proved the critical roles of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 protein interaction in NO–H2-induced adventitious root formation. Taken together, our results suggested that NO might be involved in H2-induced adventitious rooting by regulating the expression and the interaction of PM H+-ATPase and 14-3-3 protein.
