Abstract

Two redundant blue‐light receptors, known as phototropins (phot1 and phot2), influence a variety of physiological responses, including phototropism, chloroplast positioning, and stomatal opening in Arabidopsis thaliana. Whereas phot1 functions in both low‐ and high‐intensity blue light (HBL), phot2 functions primarily in HBL. Here, we aimed to elucidate phot2‐specific functions by screening for HBL‐insensitive mutants among mutagenized Arabidopsis phot1 mutants. One of the resulting phot2 signaling associated (p2sa) double mutants, phot1 p2sa2, exhibited phototropic defects that could be restored by constitutively expressing NON‐PHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL 3 (NPH3), indicating that P2SA2 was allelic to NPH3. It was observed that NPH3‐GFP signal mainly localized to and clustered on the plasma membrane in darkness. This NPH3 clustering on the plasma membrane was not affected by mutations in genes encoding proteins that interact with NPH3, including PHOT1, PHOT2 and ROOT PHOTOTROPISM 2 (RPT2). However, the HBL irradiation‐mediated release of NPH3 proteins into the cytoplasm was inhibited in phot1 mutants and enhanced in phot2 and rpt2‐2 mutants. Furthermore, HBL‐induced hypocotyl phototropism was enhanced in phot1 mutants and inhibited in the phot2 and rpt2‐2 mutants. Our findings indicate that phot1 regulates the dissociation of NPH3 from the plasma membrane, whereas phot2 mediates the stabilization and relocation of NPH3 to the plasma membrane to acclimate to HBL.

  • The process of NPH3 leaving the plasma membrane is regulated by PHOT1, whereas PHOT2 regulates the stability and repositioning of NPH3 to the plasma membrane to adapt to high-fluence blue light.

    “The process of NPH3 leaving the plasma membrane is regulated by PHOT1, whereas PHOT2 regulates the stability and repositioning of NPH3 to the plasma membrane to adapt to high-fluence blue light (Zhao et al., 2018).”

    From The action of enhancing weak light capture via phototropic growth and chloroplast movement in plants (2022) · cites this paper as Zhao et al., 2018

    The Discussion (page unavailable) says phot1 regulates NPH3’s dissociation from the plasma membrane and phot2 regulates its return during continuous high-intensity blue light. But it identifies phot1—not NPH3—as the protein whose stability phot2 may regulate. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
