The calcium transporter ANNEXIN1 mediates cold‐induced calcium signaling and freezing tolerance in plants
The transient elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ] cyt ) induced by cold stress is a well‐established phenomenon; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that the Ca 2+ ‐permeable transporter ANNEXIN1 (AtANN1) mediates cold‐triggered Ca 2+ influx and...

| Zusammenfassung: | The transient elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca
2+
]
cyt
) induced by cold stress is a well‐established phenomenon; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that the Ca
2+
‐permeable transporter ANNEXIN1 (AtANN1) mediates cold‐triggered Ca
2+
influx and freezing tolerance in
Arabidopsis thaliana
. The loss of function of
AtANN1
substantially impaired freezing tolerance, reducing the cold‐induced [Ca
2+
]
cyt
increase and upregulation of the cold‐responsive
CBF
and
COR
genes. Further analysis showed that the OST1/SnRK2.6 kinase interacted with and phosphorylated AtANN1, which consequently enhanced its Ca
2+
transport activity, thereby potentiating Ca
2+
signaling. Consistent with these results and freezing sensitivity of
ost1
mutants, the cold‐induced [Ca
2+
]
cyt
elevation in the
ost1‐3
mutant was reduced. Genetic analysis indicated that
AtANN1
acts downstream of
OST1
in responses to cold stress. Our data thus uncover a cascade linking
OST1‐AtANN1
to cold‐induced Ca
2+
signal generation, which activates the cold response and consequently enhances freezing tolerance in
Arabidopsis
.
Synopsis
How cold stress generates and controls transient elevation of calcium in the cytosol of plant cells is ill‐defined. Cold‐activated OST1 kinase promotes freezing tolerance in
Arabidopsis
by potentiating ANNEXIN1‐dependent calcium signaling.
ANNEXIN1 (AtANN1) mediates the generation of cold‐triggered Ca
2+
signals.
Cold‐activated OST1 kinase phosphorylates AtANN1 to enhance its Ca
2+
transport activity, thereby amplifying Ca
2+
signaling.
OST1‐AtANN1 module regulates the expression of cold responsive CBF and COR genes and plant freezing tolerance.
Graphical Abstract
Cold‐activated OST1 kinase phosphorylates ANNEXIN1 to boost calcium ion uptake and thus promotes expression of COR genes that enhance cold stress responses in
Arabidopsis
