Characterization of BRS1 Functions in Plant Stress Responses

Background: Brassinosteroid-insensitive 1 suppressor 1 (BRS1), is a serine carboxypeptidase that mediates brassinosteroid signaling and participates in multiple developmental processes in Arabidopsis. However, little is known about the precise role of BRS1 in this context. Results: In this study, we analyzed transcriptional and proteomic profiles of Arabidopsis seedlings overexpressing BRS1 and found that this gene is involved in both biotic and abiotic stress responses and redox regulation. Further proteomic evidence shows that BRS1 regulates cell redox by indirectly interacting with cytosolic NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (cICDH). We identified two novel splice products of BRS1, which might play important roles in development and stress responses in plants. Conclusions: This study highlights the role of BRS1 in plant redox regulation and stress responses, which extends our understanding of extracellular serine carboxypeptidases.
