Plant Physiol. 117:1998;1227-1234. The authors describe the cloning and characterization of COPPER CHAPERONE (CCH), the Arabidopsis homolog of the yeast copper chaperone, ANTIOXIDANT1 (ATX1), and the first intracellular metal chaperone described in plants. CCH can rescue yeast mutants that lack ATX1. In these experiments, rescue by CCH is copper-dependent. CCH is upregulated in leaves undergoing senescence and in leaves treated with ozone.

RESPONSIVE TO ANTAGONIST1, a Menkes/Wilson disease-related copper transporter, is required for ethylene signaling in Arabidopsis. Cell. 97:1999;383-393. The RESPONSIVE TO ANTAGONIST 1 (RAN1) gene from Arabidopsis is cloned. ran1 mutants were identified in a screen for plants that responded to the ethylene antagonist, trans-cyclooctene. Cloning of RAN1 shows that this gene is the Arabidopsis homolog of the yeast CCC2, a gene involved in copper trafficking. The authors propose that RAN1 delivers copper to ethylene receptors in post-Golgi vesicles. They also observe that the ran1 mutation produces a constitutive ethylene response.

Plant Cell. 12:2000;443-455. The authors describe a loss-of-function allele of RAN1. The mutant appears to have a constitutive ethylene response as a seedling and as an adult both in terms of morphology and gene expression. Nevertheless, in a series of genetic experiments in which ran1 is placed in an ethylene-insensitive background, the authors show that the severe inhibition of cell expansion seen in the ran1 mutant is not due to a constitutive ethylene response. They conclude that the ran1 phenotype results from a combination of ethylene-dependent and ethylene-independent factors.

Hum Mol Genet. 7:1998;2063-2071. The Menkes disease protein (MNK) usually resides in the trans-Golgi network (TGN). When cytoplasmic copper levels are elevated, however, MNK travels to the plasma membrane and pumps copper out of the cell. The authors identify a sequence in MNK that targets it to the TGN. Mutagenized protein lacking this sequence, is no longer targeted to the TGN when expressed in cultured cells.

The authors present evidence that copper is required for high-affinity ethylene binding by the ethylene receptor, ETR1. Yeast expressing ETR1 show a significant increase in ethylene binding in the presence of exogenous copper whereas other metals have little effect on ethylene binding. Site-directed mutagenesis of several amino-acid residues in the putative copper-binding domain of ETR1 eliminate ethylene binding even in the presence of copper.

21. Hua J., Meyerowitz E.M. Ethylene responses are negatively regulated by a receptor gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana. Cell. 94:1998;261-271. The authors identified loss-of-function alleles of four of the five ethylene receptors. By generating plants in which two, three or four of these receptor genes are disrupted, the authors demonstrate that the ethylene receptors negatively regulate the ethylene response. In particular, the quadruple receptor mutant has a strong, constitutive ethylene response.

Plant Mol Biol. 37:1998;455-469. The authors examine the expression of many senescence-associated genes (SAGs). Plants are subjected to a variety of treatments, some which induce senescence and some which inhibit senescence. SAG expression is examined in the leaves of the treated plants. The SAG expression patterns indicate that SAG regulation is complex as each SAG is induced or repressed by a slightly different set of conditions. This paper also provides a useful catalog of some of the known SAGs.
