Abstrakt:
Autophagic transport to the vacuole represents an endomembrane trafficking route, which is widely used in plants, not only during stress situations, but also for vacuole biogenesis and during developmental processes. Here we report a role in autophagic membrane transport for EXO70B1 - one of 23 paralogs of Arabidopsis EXO70 exocyst subunits. EXO70B1 positive compartments are internalized into the central vacuole and co-localizes with autophagosomal marker ATG8f. This internalization is boosted by induction of autophagy. Loss of function (LOF mutations in exo70B1 cause reduction of internalized autophagosomes inside the vacuole. Mutant plants also show ectopic hypersensitive response mediated by salicylic acid accumulation, increased nitrogen starvation susceptibility and anthocyanin accumulation defects. Anthocyanin accumulation defect persists in npr1x exo70B1 double mutants with salicylic acid signaling compromised, while ectopic hypersensitive response is suppressed. EXO70B1 interacts with SEC5 and EXO84 and forms an exocyst subcomplex involved in autophagy-related, Golgi-independent membrane traffic to the vacuole. We show that EXO70B1 is functionally completely different from EXO70A1 exocyst subunit and adopted a specific role in autophagic transport.
