Abstract

The NRT2.1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a major component of the root high-affinity NO(3)(-) transport system (HATS) that plays a crucial role in NO(3)(-) uptake by the plant. Although NRT2.1 was known to be induced by NO(3)(-) and feedback repressed by reduced nitrogen (N) metabolites, NRT2.1 is surprisingly up-regulated when NO(3)(-) concentration decreases to a low level (<0.5 mm) in media containing a high concentration of NH(4)(+) or Gln (>or=1 mm). The NRT3.1 gene, encoding another key component of the HATS, displays the same response pattern. This revealed that both NRT2.1 and NRT3.1 are coordinately down-regulated by high external NO(3)(-) availability through a mechanism independent from that involving N metabolites. We show here that repression of both genes by high NO(3)(-) is specifically mediated by the NRT1.1 NO(3)(-) transporter. This mechanism warrants that either NRT1.1 or NRT2.1 is active in taking up NO(3)(-) in the presence of a reduced N source. Under low NO(3)(-)/high NH(4)(+) provision, NRT1.1-mediated repression of NRT2.1/NRT3.1 is relieved, which allows reactivation of the HATS. Analysis of atnrt2.1 mutants showed that this constitutes a crucial adaptive response against NH(4)(+) toxicity because NO(3)(-) taken up by the HATS in this situation prevents the detrimental effects of pure NH(4)(+) nutrition. It is thus hypothesized that NRT1.1-mediated regulation of NRT2.1/NRT3.1 is a mechanism aiming to satisfy a specific NO(3)(-) demand of the plant in relation to the various specific roles that NO(3)(-) plays, in addition to being a N source. A new model is proposed for regulation of the HATS, involving both feedback repression by N metabolites and NRT1.1-mediated repression by high NO(3)(-).

Figure 1. Changes in NRT2.1 mRNA accumulation in response to various formula image/formula image mixtures in the external medium. Plants were grown hydroponically for 6 weeks on complete nutrient solution containing 1 mm NH4NO3 before transfer to the various media indicated in the figure. A, Time-course response in plants transferred to nutrient solution containing 1 mm formula image plus 0.1 mm formula image. B, Effect of transfer for 4 d to media containing various combinations of formula image and formula image concentrations. Transcript accumulation was monitored in roots both by northern-blot analysis (gel-blot images) and real-time RT-PCR (bar graphs) on the same samples. A 25S rRNA signal is presented as a loading control for northern blots. Quantification by real-time RT-PCR was normalized using actin genes as controls. Errors bars represent se (n = 3). Different letters on top of the bars indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05; t test).

Figure 2. Effect of local changes in the formula image/formula image external balance on NRT2.1 mRNA accumulation in split-root plants. A, Representation of the experimental protocol. Plants were grown hydroponically for 5 weeks on complete nutrient solution containing 1 mm NH4NO3. After separation of their root system into two approximately equal sides, plants were transferred to specific containers and left undisturbed during 3 d in the 1 mm NH4NO3 solution before application of localized supplies with different formula image/formula image mixtures for 4 d, as indicated in the figure. B, NRT2.1 mRNA accumulation. Transcript accumulation was monitored in various sides of the split-root systems both by northern-blot analysis (gel-blot images) and real-time RT-PCR (bar graphs) on the same samples. The lane labels relate to the various localized treatments as shown in A. A 25S rRNA signal is presented as a loading control for northern blots. Quantification by real-time RT-PCR was normalized using actin genes as controls. Errors bars represent se (n = 3).

Figure 3. Effect of various formula image/formula image mixtures on NRT2.1 mRNA accumulation and root N uptake in Ws wild-type and atnrt2.1-1 mutant plants. The plants were grown hydroponically for 6 weeks on complete nutrient solution containing 1 mm NH4NO3 before transfer for 4 d to various media containing the same formula image concentration (1 mm), but various concentrations of formula image (0.1, 1, or 10 mm). A, NRT2.1 mRNA accumulation and root 15formula image influx. Transcript accumulation was monitored in roots both by northern-blot analysis (gel-blot images) and real-time RT-PCR (bar graphs) on the same samples. A 25S rRNA signal is presented as a loading control for northern blots. Quantification by real-time RT-PCR was normalized using actin genes as controls. Errors bars represent se (n = 3). Root 15formula image influx was assayed by 5-min labeling at 0.2 mm external 15formula image concentration to specifically determine activity of the HATS. Each value is the mean of eight to 12 replicates ± se. B, Root 15formula image influx. Root 15formula image influx was assayed by 5-min labeling at 1 mm external 15formula image concentration to determine the uptake activity at the same concentration as for growth and treatment of the plants. Each value is the mean of eight to 12 replicates ± se. N.D., Not determined. Different letters on top of the bars indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05; t test).

Figure 8. Model for N regulation of NRT2.1 expression in Arabidopsis roots. The model postulates that, in addition to the induction by formula image, NRT2.1 is also under dual control by feedback repression by reduced N metabolites and NRT1.1-mediated repression by high external formula image availability, which are both required to suppress NRT2.1 expression.
