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.
