Resumo

The Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-complex is composed of four complexes, ESCRT-0-III. They sequentially act on a late endosome to sort mono-ubiquitinated transmembrane proteins into the intralumenal vesicle, forming of a multivesicular body(MVB) that is delivered to vacuole for degradation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the loss of an ESCRT-I component, elch displays a cytokinesis defect; while a dominant negative expression of an ESCRT-III component results in cell death due to vacuolar loss. In this work, the function of a plant-specific ELCH-interactor, CELL DEATH RELATED FYVE/SYLF DOMAIN CONTAINING 1 (CFS1) and its influences on the ESCRT-complex function are investigated. CFS1 is a phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate- and actin-binding protein. The cfs1 mutants mimic lesions in the first eldest leaf that propagate to the next eldest one. Genetic analyses have demonstrated that cell death in cfs1 does not require a functional ESCRT-I component; nevertheless, the loss of CFS1 alleviates elchcytokinesis defect, suggesting its influence on the ESCRT-I function. Further analyses reveal that cfs1 accumulates autophagosomes throughout its lifespan due to a decrease in autophagosome degradation, suggesting that as the plant ages, the cumulated autophagosomes falsely trigger effectors-triggered immunity that executes cell death in cfs1. As the ESCRT-complex has been demonstrated to be involved in the delivery of autophagosomes to vacuole and CFS1 homolog, CFS2 reportedly interacts with ATG8, it can be postulated from the results of this work that CFS1 alone or together with CFS2 function in sequestering mature autophagosomes onto MVBs. At the MVBs, the ESCRT-complex then mediates the fusion of autophagosome and MVB for subsequent delivery to vacuole.
