Abstrakt: Key Message: A stress induced calcium-binding protein, RD20/CLO3 interacts with the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex in Arabidopsis and affects etiolation and leaf morphology. Heterotrimeric G proteins and calcium signaling have both been shown to play a role in the response to environmental abiotic stress in plants; however, the interaction between calcium-binding proteins and G-protein signaling molecules remains elusive. We investigated the interaction between the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex, GPA1, of Arabidopsis thaliana with the calcium-binding protein, the caleosin RD20/CLO3, a gene strongly induced by drought, salt and abscisic acid. The proteins were found to interact in vivo by bimolecular fluorescent complementation (BiFC); the interaction was localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and to oil bodies within the cell. The constitutively GTP-bound GPA1 (GPA1 QL ) also interacts with RD20/CLO3 as well as its EF-hand mutant variations and these interactions are localized to the plasma membrane. The N-terminal portion of RD20/CLO3 was found to be responsible for the interaction with GPA1 and GPA1 QL using both BiFC and yeast two-hybrid assays. RD20/CLO3 contains a single calcium-binding EF-hand in the N-terminal portion of the protein; disruption of the calcium-binding capacity of the protein obliterates interaction with GPA1 in in vivo assays and decreases the interaction between the caleosin and the constitutively active GPA1 QL . Analysis of rd20/clo3 mutants shows that RD20/CLO3 plays a key role in the signaling pathway controlling hypocotyl length in dark grown seedlings and in leaf morphology. Our findings indicate a novel role for RD20/CLO3 as a negative regulator of GPA1.
