Putative gravisensors among microtubule associated proteins

Putative gravisensors among microtubule associated proteins

Abstract

AbstractDespite of long period of investigation (over 100 years), still a lot of questions remain unclear about molecular mechanisms of plant graviperception. This requires designing new experiments and new approaches to be applied in gravitational biology. Investigation of plant cell reactions under clinorotation (plant disorientation in respect to gravity vector) is of significant importance to such type of research. Clinorotation is known to cause changes of cell polarity and exert mechanical stress in plant cells. Microtubular cytoskeleton is highly dynamic structure and it responds to both of these stresses. Due to turgor pressure and cell elongation, endogenous mechanical forces influence microtubule orientation in order to coordinate cell growth. Rearrangements of microtubules are regulated by numerous associated proteins which functional activity is not fully clear. In this review, we discuss how MT associated proteins regulate cortical MT arrays under mechanical stress and consider how these proteins may act as plant cell gravisensors. Investigation of microtubule associated proteins under clinorotation might shed the light on molecular mechanism of plant cytoskeleton arrangement and its involvement in initial reactions of cell graviperception.
