corresponds to deletions in the sequence compared to PaLAR3A promoter.
The two NAC binding sites (TTTCGT) present in the region unique to the
PaLAR3A promoter are indicated in yellow. In the PaLAR3A_mut promoter it
is only these two sites which has been mutated in the remainder of the
PaLAR3A promoter is intact. |

BACKGROUND : The NAC family of transcription factors is one of the largest gene families of transcription factors in
plants and the conifer NAC gene family is at least as large, or possibly larger, as in Arabidopsis. These transcription
factors control both developmental and stress induced processes in plants. Yet, conifer NACs controlling stress
induced processes has received relatively little attention. This study investigates NAC family transcription factors
involved in the responses to the pathogen Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. sensu lato.
RESULTS : The phylogeny and domain structure in the NAC proteins can be used to organize functional specificities,
several well characterized stress-related NAC proteins are found in III-3 in Arabidopsis (Jensen et al. Biochem J 426:
183–196, 2010). The Norway spruce genome contain seven genes with similarity to subgroup III-3 NACs. Based on
the expression pattern PaNAC03 was selected for detailed analyses. Norway spruce lines overexpressing PaNAC03
exhibited aberrant embryo development in response to maturation initiation and 482 misregulated genes were
identified in proliferating cultures. Three key genes in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway: a CHS, a F3’H and PaLAR3
were consistently down regulated in the overexpression lines. In accordance, the overexpression lines showed
reduced levels of specific flavonoids, suggesting that PaNAC03 act as a repressor of this pathway, possibly by
directly interacting with the promoter of the repressed genes. However, transactivation studies of PaNAC03 and
PaLAR3 in Nicotiana benthamiana showed that PaNAC03 activated PaLAR3A, suggesting that PaNAC03 does not act
as an independent negative regulator of flavan-3-ol production through direct interaction with the target flavonoid
biosynthetic genes.
CONCLUSIONS : PaNAC03 and its orthologs form a sister group to well characterized stress-related angiosperm NAC
genes and at least PaNAC03 is responsive to biotic stress and appear to act in the control of defence associated
secondary metabolite production. |
