UPSC Cutting Edge Seminar - Phil Wigge: Ambient Temperature Sensing in Plants
01-Oct-2012 10:00 - 11:00
UPSC Cutting Edge Seminar
Speaker:
Phil Wigge
Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge University UK
Title: Ambient Temperature Sensing in Plants
Abstract:
How is temperature sensed? Eukaryotic cells respond within minutes to changes of a few degrees celsius, adjusting the expression of thousands of genes. The cell must therefore have a mechanism for sensing temperature and coordinating the transcriptome. Despite a few examples of thermosensors, e.g. in Listeria and neurons, the pathways by which temperature is sensed globally are not known.
To address this, we have carried out a genetic screen in Arabidopsis using a Luciferase reporter line for mutants that incorrectly sense non-stress temperature changes. This approach has enabled us to identify a novel temperature-sensing pathway that appears to be conserved among eukaryotes and accounts for the majority of the transcriptional changes in response to temperature change. We are now collaborating with other labs to more fully understand the molecular basis of temperature perception.
What is the underlying regulatory logic of the flora transition? While much is known of the genetic architecture of the floral transition, the dynamic properties of the floral switch are not clearly understood. To address this, we are collaborating with the Richard Morris group (JIC, Norwich) to model the regulatory architecture of the floral transition. This modelling has given insights into how the dynamics of flowering are regulated both spatially and temporally. Our model makes a number of testable, predictions about the dynamic regulation of the floral transition.

Speaker:

Universität Rostock, Institut für Biowissenschaften, Abteilung Pflanzenphysiologie
Title
Evolutionary origin of photorespiration: Phylogenetic and biochemical studies of enzymes involved in the 2-phosphoglycolate metabolism
Place: Lilla hörsalen, KB3A9
Abtract:The photorespiratory pathway is essential for organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis, cyanobacteria, algae and plants, in the present day O2-containing atmosphere. The presence of a plant-like 2-phosphoglycolate cycle in cyanobacteria indicated that not only genes of oxygenic photosynthesis but also genes encoding photorespiratory enzymes were endosymbiotically conveyed from ancient cyanobacteria to eukaryotic oxygenic phototrophs. BlastP analyses with plant photorespiratory proteins identified several proteins in cyanobacteria and algae with surprisingly high sequence similarities. To verify that not only the sequence but also the biochemical activity of these enzymes is conserved, selected proteins from the cyanobacteria Synechocystis PCC 6803, Anabaena PCC 7120 and Cyanothece sp. PCC 7822, as well as from the algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Cyanidioschyzon merolae were overexpressed in E. coli and biochemical analyzed. As examples, data will be presented on our recent analyses of glycolate oxidases and hydroxypyruvate reductase, which allowed to date the origin of photorespiration back to the protoalgae
