摘要
Abstract Teosinte branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating cell factor (TCP) transcription factors function in abiotic stress responses. However, how TCPs confer salt tolerance is unclear. Here, we characterized a TCP transcription factor, BpTCP20, that responds to salt stress in birch (Betula platyphylla Suk). Plants overexpressing BpTCP20 displayed increased salt tolerance, and Bptcp20 knockout mutants displayed reduced salt tolerance relative to the wild-type (WT) birch. BpTCP20 conferred salt tolerance by mediating stomatal closure and reducing reactive oxygen species accumulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing showed that BpTCP20 binds to NeuroD1, T-box, and two unknown elements (termed TBS1 and TBS2) to regulate target genes. In birch, salt stress led to acetylation of BpTCP20 acetylation at lysine 259. A mutated BpTCP20 variant (abolished for acetylation, termed BpTCP20259) was overexpressed in birch, which led to decreased salt tolerance compared with plants overexpressing BpTCP20. However, BpTCP20259-overexpressing plants still displayed increased salt tolerance relative to untransformed wild-type plants. BpTCP20259 showed reduced binding to the promoters of target genes and decreased target gene activation, leading to decreased salt tolerance. In addition, we identified dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (BpPDCE23), an acetyltransferase that interacts with and acetylates BpTCP20 to enhance its binding to DNA motifs. Together, these results suggest that BpTCP20 is a transcriptional regulator of salt tolerance, whose activity is modulated by BpPDCE23-mediated acetylation.
