SummaryHeat shock proteins of the HSC70/HSP70 family are evolutionarily conserved chaperones that are involved in protein folding, protein transport and RNA binding. Arabidopsis HSC70 chaperones are thought to act as housekeeping chaperones and as such are involved in many growth-related pathways. Whether Arabidopsis HSC70 binds RNA and its function has remained an open question. Here, we show that the HSC70.1 chaperone binds its own mRNA via its C-terminal Short Variable Region (SVR) and inhibits its own translation. We propose that this negative protein-transcript feedback loop may establish an on-demand chaperone pool that allows for a rapid response to stress. Furthermore, we show that the SVR encoding RNA region is necessary for HSC70.1 transcript mobility to distant tissues and that HSC70.1 transcript and not protein mobility is required to rescue root growth and flowering time of hsc70 mutants. In summary, it seems that the Arabidopsis HSC70.1 chaperone can form a complex with its own transcript to regulate its translation and that both protein and transcript can act in a non-cell-autonomous manner maintaining chaperone homestasis between tissues. |
