Calcium Signaling and Plant Immunity

Research Topics

In plants, one of the earliest common response that follows stimuli perception is a modulation of free calcium concentration within the cell. These calcium elevations can bear many shapes and are integral parts of the cell signaling that leads to specific plant responses. Our group aims at understanding how calcium through its spatio-temporal variations controls plant response specificity to biotic stresses. For this purpose, the group focus on the calcium signal itself but also on its decoders and more precisely on the large family of calmodulin-like proteins. Our models concern the pathogenic interaction between Arabidopsis and Tomato and bacteria belonging to the genus Pseudomonas and Ralstonia. Since 2016, the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is also used in the group as a new plant model to study protein complexes associated with the generation of the calcium signal in response to biotic stress.

                Our scientific objectives are:

1) To identify calcium signal generating complexes by using immune Receptor-like Kinase signaling pathways as framework. This emerging scientific thematic is managed by M. Mbengue.

2) To decipher the contribution of plant specific calcium sensors (Calmodulin–like proteins and their targets) in immunity responses. This project is supported by the ANR CaPPTure project (2018-2022).

Calcium Imaging

Very often, variation in calcium concentration is part of plant cell responses to stimuli. For a long time, the cytosol was thought to be the only active cellular compartment in regards to calcium signalling. It is now clear that other cellular compartments such as plastids, mitochondria or nuclei also participate in shaping a specific calcium response according to the applied stimulus (Xiong et al. 2006). This subcellular localization of the calcium signal combined with other parameters such as intensity, duration, shape or frequency define the so-called “calcium signature” (McAinsh & Pittman 2009).

By using the jellyfish-derived calcium probe AEQUORIN, we are able to follow real-time calcium variations in the cytosol and the nucleus. In presence of the chromophore coelentarazine, apo-aequorin is capable of binding 3 calcium ions. This provokes a conformational change followed by an intramolecular oxidation that emits blue light at 468nm. The light emission is proportional to the calcium concentration and can be captured by a sensitive PMT-based luminometer.

Using this approach, our group has demonstrated:

  • The contribution of nuclei in defining a specific calcium signature
  • The autonomy of nuclei in producing a calcium signal when challenged with external stimuli
  • The possibility for nuclei to control, independently or via the cytosol, responses implicating calcium signalling.

We now seek to develop new imaging approaches and “low-light” experimental setups allowing to monitor in real-time,  calcium variations at the plant scale or at the organ scale in responses to external stimuli, thereby harnessing  most of the high dynamic range of Aequorin.

We are also exploring the possibilities brought by another calcium probe, the BRET (Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfert) sensor G5A. G5A has a 3 to 5 times higher signal-to-noise ratio than aequorin (Xiong et al. 2014).

Identification of calcium signal generating complexes by using immune Receptor-like Kinase signaling pathways as a framework

Contacts :   Malick MBENGUE  Jean-Philippe Galaud

Pathogens recognition via plant surface immune receptors – receptors-like kinases (RLKs) – triggers a calcium influx across the plasma membrane into the cytosol that is required for downstream immune responses. Despite its critical importance for cell signaling, we only begin to discover the molecular actors that generate this calcium increase. Here, we hypothesize that the “calcium-machinery” is part of an immune-receptor protein complex as shown for some receptor-activated calcium channels in animal cells. That is why first, we propose to determine the architecture of a pre and post-activation plant-RLK signaling complex before describing the role of selected components in shaping the calcium signature. This is an emerging research axis in our group that aims at better understanding signaling events leading to the activation of defense responses, while providing important mechanistic insights into the generation of the calcium signal.

To date, Arabidopsis has been the model of choice for such studies but it becomes increasingly evident it suffers from functional redundancy that can hinder fast-paced reverse genetics studies. To alleviate this bottleneck, we propose to benefit from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, a tractable model recently introduced in our laboratory. Marchantia’s genome shows a reduction in the number of genes related to immune signaling, supporting the view that this species presents reduced functional redundancy. Our working RLK-model will be chitin perception by MpCERK1, the homologue of AtCERK1, a Lysin-Motif RLK (LysM-RLK) required for chitin perception in Arabidopsis and proximity labelling before performing reverse genetic studies in this species on selected candidates. 

Calcium sensors and environmental stresses

How these calcium variations are decoded and relayed to downstream effectors constitutes our second scientific objective. The decoding is carried out by relay proteins, such as calmodulin (CaM) that regulate the activity of target proteins following Ca2+-binding. Using molecular and genetic approaches, our group has revealed the physiological relevance of plant specific CaM related proteins, designated CML (Calmodulin-Like) in plant stress responses.

Since several years, we mainly focused on the importance of calcium signaling in response to biotic stimuli. Recently, thanks to the ANR CaPPTure project, we extend our work to other CMLs in Arabidopsis and in Tomato to evaluate their contribution in plant development and physiology in relation to simultaneous exposures to biotic and abiotic constraints. This work is part of a more general goal that is to better understand plant defence responses to pathogens according to changes of environmental conditions such as slight temperature variations. Indeed, a small increase in temperature (3 to 5 °C) significantly affects the resistance of plants to bacteria, fungi, viruses and insects, but only few data are available to explain this phenomenon. Although works have identified regulators of these stresses applied separately, our knowledge of the mechanisms allowing plants to simultaneously respond to multiple biotic and abiotic attacks remain fragmented. Since CMLs and their targets are at the crossroads of biotic and abiotic signaling pathways, our objectives are to decipher and understand their contribution in the responses of Arabidopsis and tomato to phytopathogenic bacteria (R. solanacearum and P. syringae). We evaluate the impact of the temperature on calcium signaling-induced-responses to these pathogens. This work will benefit of ongoing collaborations with R. Berthomé (LIPM, Toulouse), C. Lurin and A. Bendahmane, (IPS2, Paris) for plant-bacteria interaction studies, for identification of CML targets (Arabidopsis-Yeast two-hybrid platform) and for identification and generation of Tomato mutants by Tilling and CrispR-Cas9 technologies. This project also meets the objectives of the Labex “TULIP” by revealing the importance of calcium signaling and the effects of the environment on plant-microorganism interactions.

Overall, our team project aims to better characterize the regulatory networks associated to plant calcium signaling pathways activated by plant-microorganisms interactions. The project will be developed using different plant models to address both (i) the fundamental questions raised and (ii) to transfer acquired results to plants of agronomic interest.
