Abstract
Understanding how plants sense and respond to changes in nitrogen (N) availability

Introduction
64
Plants are sessile organisms that evolved sophisticated sensing and response
65
66
messenger in all eukaryotes, has been implicated in plant signaling pathways (Harper et al.,
67
2004; Hetherington and Brownlee, 2004; Reddy and Reddy, 2004; Hepler, 2005). Multiple
68
abiotic and biotic cues elicit specific and distinct spatiotemporal patterns of change in the
69
concentration of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) in plants (Sanders et al., 2002; Hetherington and
70
Brownlee, 2004; Reddy and Reddy, 2004; Hepler, 2005). ABA and heat shock treatments
71
cause a rapid intracellular Ca2+ increase which is preceded by a transient increase in the
72
levels of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) (Sanchez and Chua, 2001; Zheng et al., 2012).
73
Ca2+ signatures are detected, decoded and transmitted to downstream responses by a set of
74
Ca2+ binding proteins that function as Ca2+ sensors (White and Broadley, 2003; Dodd et al.,
75
2010).
76
Nitrate is the main source of N in agriculture and a potent signal that regulates the
77
expression of hundreds of genes (Wang et al., 2004; Vidal and Gutirrez, 2008; Ho and
78
79
molecular components involved in nitrate signaling have been identified. Several pieces of
80
81
Gojon et al., 2011; Bouguyon et al., 2015). NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 is required for normal
82
expression of more than 100 genes in response to nitrate in Arabidopsis roots (Wang et al.,
83
84
85
normal nitrate-induced expression of primary nitrate response genes and the CIPK23 kinase
86
is able to control the switch from low to high affinity of NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 (Ho et al.,
87
2009; Hu et al., 2009; Castaings et al., 2010; Ho and Tsay, 2010). CIPKs act in concert
88
with CBL proteins, plant-specific calcium binding proteins that activate CIPKs to
89
phosphorylate downstream targets (Albrecht et al., 2001). Early experiments using maize
90
and barley detached leaves showed that nitrate induction of two nitrate primary response
91
genes was altered by pretreating leaves with the calcium chelator EGTA or the calcium
92
channel blocker LaCl3 (Sakakibara et al., 1997; Sueyoshi et al., 1999), suggesting an
93
interplay between nitrate response and calcium-related signaling pathways. However, the
94
role of calcium as a second messenger in the nitrate-signaling pathway has not been directly
95
addressed.
96
We show that nitrate treatments cause a rapid increase of IP3 and [Ca2+]cyt levels and
97
that blocking PLC activity inhibits both IP3 and [Ca2+]cyt increase after nitrate treatments.
98
We provide evidence that NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 is required for increasing both IP3 and
99
100
hinders regulation of gene expression of nitrate responsive genes. Our results indicate Ca2+

Trewavas and Malho, 1998). Increase in [Ca2+]cyt has been recorded in cellular responses to
110
several stimuli (Sanders et al., 1999). As a first step to determine whether calcium acts as a
111
112
Arabidopsis thaliana where the transcriptomic and phenotypic response to nitrate has been
113
well documented (Wang et al., 2004; Gifford et al., 2008; Gutierrez et al., 2008; Vidal et
114
al., 2010; Vidal et al., 2013; Vidal et al., 2013; Alvarez et al., 2014; Vidal et al., 2014).
115
Plants expressing cytoplasmic aequorin (WT-AQ) (Gao et al., 2004) were grown
116
hydroponically for two weeks with ammonium as the only N source. Plant roots were
117
excised and luminescence was recorded every 0.2 s after treating the roots with 5 mM
118
KNO3 or 5 mM KCl as control. As shown in Figure 1A, nitrate treatment elicited a rapid
119
and transient increase in [Ca2+]cyt in roots. KCl treatment also generated a rapid and
120
transient peak, however this calcium peak was considerably lower than the one obtained
121
after nitrate treatments (Figure 1A). After reaching a maximum, [Ca2+]cyt decreased to near
122
123
It is known that abiotic and biotic cues such as sugar, salt and drought stress cause
124
transient [Ca2+]cyt in roots and leaves (Furuichi et al., 2001; Choi et al., 2014; Johnson et al.,
125
2014). This increase in [Ca2+]cyt can be partially abolished by the use of Ca2+ channel
126
blockers such as lanthanum chloride (Knight et al., 1996; Choi et al., 2014). Pretreatment of
127
WT-AQ root and seedlings with 5 mM LaCl3 for 1 hour inhibited the [Ca2+]cyt increase
128
observed in response to nitrate treatment (Figure 1B). These results indicate nitrate

136
evaluated the effect of a PLC inhibitor (U73122) and a non-functional PLC inhibitor analog
137
(U73343) in WT-AQ lines in response to KNO3 or KCl treatments. WT-AQ plants were
138
pre-treated for 1 h with 10 M U73122 or U73343 and luminescence of excised plant roots
139
was recorded every 0.2 s after 5 mM KNO3 or KCl treatments. The presence of the PLC
140
inhibitor (U73122) altered the [Ca2+]cyt increase in response to nitrate treatments (Figure
141
2A). However, treatments with the non-functional analog (U73343) did not affect the
142
[Ca2+]cyt increase in Arabidopsis roots (Figure 2A). These results suggest that products of
143
PLC enzyme activity or metabolites produced thereof trigger the [Ca2+]cyt increase in

145
in nitrate signaling, we measured IP3 content after nitrate treatments in Arabidopsis roots.
146
Wild-type plants were grown and treated with KNO3 or KCl under the same experimental
147
conditions described above and roots were quickly collected and frozen in liquid nitrogen.
148
Treatment with 5 mM KNO3 resulted in a 3-fold increase of IP3 levels as compared to the
149
KCl control 10 s after the treatment (Figure 2B). Pretreatment of plants with U73122 (but
150
not with U73343) completely blocked IP3 increase in response to nitrate (Figure 2B). In
151
addition, LaCl3 reduced IP3 levels in all tested conditions suggesting a calcium-dependent
152

As shown in Figure 3A, the increase in [Ca2+]cyt elicited by nitrate was significantly

lines in the chl1-9 mutant background. chl1-9 has a P492L point mutation that has been
170
shown to reduce NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 nitrate uptake without affecting the signaling function
171
of NRT1.1 over the NRT2.1 nitrate transporter (Ho et al., 2009). It was recently shown that
172

2015). As shown in Figure 3B, [Ca2+]cyt is lower in chl1-9-AQ roots as compared to wild-
174
type in response to nitrate treatments, and is comparable to the results obtained for the chl1-
175
5-AQ line. These results indicate that the increase in [Ca2+]cyt by nitrate depends on
176
NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3.

178
pathway, we measured IP3 content in chl1-5 and chl1-9 mutant plants roots after nitrate
179
treatments. chl1-5 and chl1-9 plants were grown for 15 days and were treated with 5 mM
180
KNO3 or KCl as control and IP3 content was measured. In contrast to the increase in IP3
181
levels in wild-type roots, there was no significant increase in IP3 content in chl1-5 and chl1-
182
9 mutant roots after nitrate treatments (Figure 3C). This result indicates that accumulation
183
184
185

186

188
12
189
play important roles in nitrate-dependent root growth (Ho et al., 2009; Alvarez et al., 2014;
190
Vidal et al., 2014) in WT, chl1-5 and chl1-9 plants treated with the calcium channel blocker
191
LaCl3 or the PLC inhibitor U73122. Total RNA was isolated from roots and mRNA levels
192
were measured for selected genes using reverse transcription and quantitative real time
193
polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). As shown in Figure 4, NRT2.1, TGA1 and AFB3
194
gene expression is induced after KNO3 treatments. Consistent with previous reports (Ho et
195
al., 2009; Alvarez et al., 2014; Vidal et al., 2014), nitrate regulation of gene expression of
13
196
these genes was significantly altered in the chl1-5 and chl1-9 mutants under our
197
198
significantly reduced in the presence of LaCl3 or U73122 but not in Mock or U73343
199
treatment (Figure 4). Interestingly, induction of AFB3 by nitrate was not significantly
200
affected in the presence of U73122 or LaCl3 (Figure 4). In addition, NIR and NRT3.1 gene
201
expression behaved similarly to TGA1, with altered response to nitrate treatments in chl1-5
202
or chl1-9 mutant plants and in the presence of U73122 or LaCl3 (Figure S2). This indicates
203
NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3, a PLC activity and increase in cytosolic calcium levels are required for

Discussion
Calcium is a second messenger implicated in various signaling pathways in plants
212
(Sanders et al., 2002; Harper et al., 2004; Hetherington and Brownlee, 2004; Reddy and
213
Reddy, 2004; Hepler, 2005; Dodd et al., 2010) and changes in [Ca2+]cyt are an important
214
component of these calcium signaling networks. These changes can be induced by diverse
215
environmental stimuli, including salt and oxidative stress, cold, light, hormones and
216
bacterial and fungal pathogens (Polisensky and Braam, 1996; Stoelzle et al., 2003; Chen
217
and Kao, 2012; Choi et al., 2014; Gilroy et al., 2014). We found nitrate is also able to
218
trigger changes in [Ca2+]cyt. Moreover, we found nitrate treatments increase IP3 levels,
219
which correlates with an increase in [Ca2+]cyt. In animals, IP3 is generated by the cleavage
220
of PIP2 by PI-PLC enzymes (Alexandre et al., 1999; Hirose et al., 1999). This effect was
221
222
required for increased Ca2+ and IP3 in response to nitrate treatments. We found gene
223
expression in response to nitrate is affected by a PLC inhibitor and a Ca2+ channel blocker
224
suggesting existence of a signaling pathway for nitrate sensing and signal transduction
225
226
227
228
constitutively, but expression of the remaining eight PI-PLC genes have been shown to be
229
regulated by salt, cold and dehydration stress, ABA and other perturbations (Tasma et al.,
230
2008). Interestingly, the expression of AtPLC4 and AtPLC5 genes is regulated by nitrate in
231
Arabidopsis roots (Wang, 2003; Wang et al., 2004; Vidal et al., 2013; Alvarez et al., 2014;
232
Canales et al., 2014). Our results show that inhibition of PLC activity in plant roots blocks
233
the increase in cytosolic IP3 and Ca2+ levels in response to nitrate treatments. In addition,
234
LaCl3 also blocked the increase in IP3 and [Ca2+]cyt levels by nitrate treatments suggesting a
235
calcium-dependent PLC activity (Hunt et al., 2004). These results support the idea that one
236
237
The mechanism by which PLC catalyzes the generation of DAG and IP3 in animals
238
is well understood (Alexandre et al., 1999; Hirose et al., 1999). However, although
239
accumulation of IP3 can be detected in plants in response to various stimuli and this
16
240
increase in IP3 levels correlates with increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels (Sanchez and
241
Chua, 2001; Zheng et al., 2012), no homologs of animal IP3 receptors have been described
242
in Arabidopsis (Nagata et al., 2004). IP3 can be further phosphorylated into IP6 (Laxalt and
243
Munnik, 2002; Lemtiri-Chlieh et al., 2003; Meijer and Munnik, 2003; Munnik and
244
Vermeer, 2010). Thus, IP3 levels may function directly or via its phosphorylated product
245
IP6 in nitrate-mediated Ca2+ release. Similarly, DAG accumulation can lead to an increase
246
247
(Katagiri et al., 2001; Munnik, 2001; Sang et al., 2001). PA has been shown to act as
248
second messenger in plant signalling pathways (Katagiri et al., 2001; Munnik, 2001; Sang
249
et al., 2001) and previous work demonstrated that PLD and PA participate in N signaling
250
251
252
253
nitrate sensor essential for regulation of gene expression in response to changes in external
254
nitrate (Ho et al., 2009). Mutation of NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 and U73122 treatments have a
255
similar inhibitory effect over [Ca2+]cyt, which suggests NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 and PLC belong
256
to the same signal transduction pathway to control cytoplasmic calcium levels in response
257
to nitrate. We found that normal response to nitrate of NIR, NRT2.1, TGA1 and NRT3.1
258
depends on NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3, PLC activity and Ca2+. However, we did not observe an
259
260
chl1-9 mutant backgrounds. Our results indicate existence of a PLC dependent signaling
261
262
Treatment of detached maize and barley leaves with protein kinase inhibitors has
263
been shown to alter the nitrate regulation of nitrate-responsive genes (Sakakibara et al.,
264
265
phosphorylation levels of proteins (Engelsberger and Schulze, 2012; Wang et al., 2012).
266
Transcriptomics analysis of the nitrate response has shown that several protein kinases and
267
phosphatases are regulated by nitrate availability (Canales et al., 2014), and the Ca2+-
268
dependent protein kinase CIPK8 controls the nitrate response of primary nitrate-responsive
269
genes downstream of NRT1.1 (Hu et al., 2009). These studies are consistent with our
17
270
results and suggest kinase targets of the nitrate-NRT1.1-Ca2+ pathway described here to
271
272
We have previously shown regulatory factors AFB3 and TGA1 are downstream of
273
NRT1.1/AtNPF6.3 function in the Arabidopsis root nitrate response (Alvarez et al., 2014;
274
Vidal et al., 2014). As our results indicate, TGA1 and its target NRT2.1 would operate
275
276
277
signaling pathway. This observation is consistent with previous results that indicate AFB3-
278
279
response to nitrate (Alvarez et al., 2014; Vidal et al., 2014). More recently, using
280
281
282
al., 2015). Our results are also consistent with these observations and show that at least one
283
284
Our combined cell biology and molecular genetics approach allowed us to identify
285
steps in the nitrate-signaling pathway that involves Ca2+ as second messenger in the
286
287
signaling pathway contributes to our understanding how plants sense and respond to
288
changes in N availability and provide new targets for improving N-use efficiency in crops.

Figure S1. LaCl3 reduced the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) levels in roots. Wildtype plants were grown hydroponically for two weeks with ammonium as the only nitrogen
source and IP3 content was assayed as described in the main text. Wild-type plants were
pretreated with Mock and LaCl3 and we evaluated the IP3 content in Arabidopsis roots in
response to 5 mM KNO3 or 5mM KCl. Values plotted correspond to the mean of at least
three independent biological replicates standard deviation. Gray bars represent time 0
(before treatment), white bars represent KCl treatment, and black bars represent KNO3
treatment. The letter indicates means that significantly differ between control and treatment
