note = {The phytohormone auxin is an important molecular component in plant signal transduction. As an endogenous signaling molecule, auxin controls many aspects of plant development. Members of the AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (Aux/IAA) gene family play an important role in auxin signal transduction.
The rum1 (rootless with undetectable meristem 1) gene encodes the Aux/IAA protein ZmIAA29, which is to date the only Aux/IAA member with an assigned function in plant development in maize. It controls the initiation of the embryonic seminal roots and post-embryonic lateral roots of the primary root. Based on the function of rum1 in root development a comprehensive characterization of the Aux/IAA gene family was initiated in this study.
At the beginning of this study 31 Aux/IAA genes were known. A homology search for novel Aux/IAA sequences in the latest maize genome assembly version identified three unknown Aux/IAA genes (ZmIAA32 - GRMZM2G366373, ZmIAA33 – GRMZM2G359924, ZmIAA34 – GRMZM2G031615). Phylogenetic reconstructions of the 34 Aux/IAA proteins revealed two classes of Aux/IAA proteins that can be distinguished by alterations in their domain III. Moreover, seven pairs of paralogous maize Aux/IAA proteins were discovered via syntenic comparisons. Comprehensive root-type and tissue-specific expression profiling revealed unique expression patterns of the diverse members of the gene family. The Aux/IAA genes displayed their highest expression in crown roots followed by seminal and primary roots. Lateral roots of the primary root displayed the lowest Aux/IAA expression level. Based on the results of the phylogenetic and expression studies five members of the maize Aux/IAA gene family, ZmIAA2, ZmIAA11, ZmIAA15, ZmIAA20 and ZmIAA33, were functionally characterized. Alternative protein variants were generated via the introduction of specific point mutations in the degron sequence by substituting the first proline by serine or the second proline by leucine. In general, Aux/IAA proteins are short-lived and localized in the nucleus. The five Aux/IAA protein half-life times ranged between ~11 min (ZmIAA2) to ~120 min (ZmIAA15) while the mutated forms were more stable. Subcellular localization studies revealed that ZmIAA2, ZmIAA11 and ZmIAA15 and their mutated forms were exclusively localized in the nucleus, whereas ZmIAA20 and ZmIAA33 were detected in nucleus and cytoplasm. Furthermore, all five maize Aux/IAA proteins were acting as active repressors. In addition, interaction of RUM1 with all five Aux/IAA proteins was detected, but only ZmIAA15 and ZmIAA33 interacted with the RUM1 paralog RUL1.
In summary, the analyzed Aux/IAA genes displayed root-, tissue- and development specific expression patterns. Furthermore, the selected Aux/IAA proteins revealed different half-life times together with various activity of their repressor function. All five Aux/IAA proteins were localized in the nucleus; ZmIAA20 and ZmIAA33 were additionally expressed in the cytoplasm. Finally, specific protein interactions were identified between the selected Aux/IAA proteins with RUM1 and RUL1.},
