Abstract:
Endoplasmic Reticulum-Plasma Membrane contact sites (ER-PM CS) play fundamental roles in all eukaryotic cells. Arabidopsis mutants lacking the ER-PM protein tether synaptotagmin1 (SYT1) exhibit decreased plasma membrane (PM) integrity under multiple abiotic stresses such as freezing, high salt, osmotic stress and mechanical damage. Here, we show that, together with SYT1, the stress-induced SYT3 is an ER-PM tether that also functions in maintaining PM integrity. The ER-PM CS localization of SYT1 and SYT3 is dependent on PM phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and is regulated by abiotic stress. Lipidomic analysis revealed that cold stress increased the accumulation of diacylglycerol at the PM in a syt1/3 double mutant relative to WT while the levels of most glycerolipid species remain unchanged. Additionally, SYT1-GFP preferentially binds diacylglycerol in vivo with little affinity for polar glycerolipids. Our work uncovers a crucial SYT-dependent mechanism of stress adaptation counteracting the detrimental accumulation of diacylglycerol at the PM produced during episodes of abiotic stress.
