BvCOLD1: A novel aquaporin from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) involved in boron homeostasis and abiotic stress.[Pubmed: 30103284]
Beta vulgaris (sugar beet) is one of the most important industrial crops. Screening of a cDNA library for sugar beet genes able to confer cold tolerance upon overexpression in yeast identified a novel aquaporin, which we named BvCOLD1. The amino acid sequence of BvCOLD1 indicated that is an acidic protein (pI 5,18) similar to TIP aquaporins. RNA expression analysis indicated that BvCOLD1 is expressed in all sugar beet organs. Confocal microscopy of a GFP tagged version localized BvCOLD1 in the endoplasmic reticulum in yeast and in plant cells. Experiments in yeast showed that BvCOLD1 has an important role in transporting several molecules, among them boron, one of the most limiting micronutrients for sugar beet cultivation. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing BvCOLD1 showed enhanced tolerance to cold, to different abiotic stresses and to boron deficiency at different developmental stages. Searches in data bases only retrieved BvCOLD1 orthologues in genomes from the Chenopodioideae, a subfamily of the Amaranthaceae family which includes the closely related crop Spinacea oleracea and halotolerant plants such as Salicornia herbacea or Suaeda glauca. Orthologues share a conserved sequence in the carboxy terminus, not present in other aquaporins, which is required for the functionality of the protein.
