ABSTRACT
Cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]cyt ) and heterotrimeric G-proteins are universal eukaryotic signaling elements. In plant guard cells, extracellular calcium (Cao ) is as strong a stimulus for stomatal closure as the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), but underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that the sole Arabidopsis heterotrimeric Gß subunit, AGB1, is required for four guard cell Cao responses induction of stomatal closure; inhibition of stomatal opening; [Ca2+ ]cyt oscillation; and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) production. Stomata in wild-type Arabidopsis (Col) and in mutants of the canonical Gα subunit, GPA1, showed inhibition of stomatal opening and promotion of stomatal closure by Cao . By contrast, stomatal movements of agb1 mutants and agb1/gpa1 double-mutants, as well as those of the agg1agg2 Gγ double-mutant, were insensitive to Cao . These behaviors contrast with ABA-regulated stomatal movements, which involve GPA1 and AGB1/AGG3 dimers, illustrating differential partitioning of G-protein subunits among stimuli with similar ultimate impacts, which may facilitate stimulus-specific encoding. AGB1 knockouts retained reactive oxygen species and NO production, but lost YC3.6-detected [Ca2+ ]cyt oscillations in response to Cao , initiating only a single [Ca2+ ]cyt spike. Experimentally imposed [Ca2+ ]cyt oscillations restored stomatal closure in agb1. Yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular complementation fluorescence experiments revealed that AGB1 interacts with phospholipase Cs (PLCs), and Cao induced InsP3 production in Col but not in agb1. In sum, G-protein signaling via AGB1/AGG1/AGG2 is essential for Cao -regulation of stomatal apertures, and stomatal movements in response to Cao apparently require Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release that is likely dependent on Gßγ interaction with PLCs leading to InsP3 production.
