抄録

The stringent response is one of the most significant and well-investigated gene regulatory systems in bacteria. The signaling molecule for the stringent response is guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp). Recently, RelA/SpoT homolog genes (RSHs and CRSHs), which encode ppGpp synthase, have been identified in plants. The accumulation of ppGpp is stimulated by stressful conditions and plant hormones such as abscisic acid or jasmonic acid in plants. A database search revealed the presence of several putative RelA/SpoT homologs in the moss Physcomitrella patens. Two RelA/SpoT homolog genes designated PpRSH1 and PpRSH2, which are involved in the synthesis of ppGpp, were isolated from P patens. Complementary analysis of PpRSH1 and PpRSH2 in E. coli showed that these genes had ppGpp synthetic activity. Additionally recombinant PpRSH1 and PpRSH2 were shown to synthesize ppGpp in vitro. Both proteins were revealed to be localized in chloroplasts. The expression of PpRSH genes were induced upon treatment with abscisic acid or by abiotic stresses such as dehydration and UV irradiation. However jasmonic acid and high concentration of salt did not elevate the expression of PpRSH genes unlike those of RSH genes in flowering plants. The overexpression mutant for PpRSH1 resulted in enhancement of gametophore development. These results suggest that PpRSHs play an important role in stress adaptation and development in P patens.
