A nuclear-localized HSP70 confers thermoprotective activity and drought-stress tolerance on plants
Abstract
To investigate the function of nuclear-localized plant HSP70, we used NtHSP70-1 isolated from Nicotiana tabacum. The subcellular localization of NtHSP70-1 was identified by fluorescence microscopy for NtHSP70-1/GFP or smGFP fusion proteins in onion epidermal cells, obtained using particle gun bombardment. To analyze the drought-stress tolerance and thermoprotective role of NtHSP70-1, we obtained transgenic tobacco plants that constitutively expressed elevated levels of NtHSP70-1 as well as transgenic plants containing either the vector alone or else having NtHSP70-1 in the antisense orientation. From analysis for genomic DNA in transgenic seedlings after heat stress, NtHSP70-1 helps to prevent the fragmentation and degradation of nuclear DNA during heat stress. In addition, seedlings constitutively overexpressing NtHSP70-1 grew to be healthy plants, whereas transgenic vector or antisense seedlings resulted in death after heat-/drought-stress.
