AbstractMembers of the Brassicaceae family have the ability to regulate pollination events occurring on the stigma surface. In Brassica species, self-pollination leads to an allele specific interaction between the pollen small cysteine-rich peptide ligand (SCR/SP11) and the stigmatic S-receptor kinase (SRK) that activates the E3 ubiquitin ligase ARC1 (Armadillo repeat-containing 1), resulting in proteasomal degradation of various compatibility factors including Glyoxalase I (GLO1) which is necessary for successful pollination. Suppression of GLO1 was sufficient to reduce compatibility, and overexpression of GLO1 in self-incompatible Brassica napus stigmas resulted in partial breakdown of the self-incompatibility response. Here, we verified if BnGLO1 could function as a compatibility factor in the artificial self-incompatibility system of Arabidopsis thaliana expressing AlSCRb, AlSRKb and AlARC1 proteins from A. lyrata. Overexpression of BnGLO1 is sufficient to breakdown self-incompatibility response in A. thaliana stigmas, suggesting that GLO1 functions as an inter-species compatibility factor. Therefore, GLO1 has an indisputable role as a compatibility factor in the stigma in regulating pollen attachment and pollen tube growth. Lastly, this study demonstrates the usefulness of an artificial self-incompatibility system in A. thaliana for interspecific self-incompatibility studies.

Abstract NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (L-NMMA) has been reported to be elevated in uremic patients. Based on the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of the anemia of renal disease might be due to the perturbation of transcription factors of the erythropoietin (Epo) gene by L-NMMA, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of L-NMMA on Epo gene expression through the GATA transcription factor. L-NMMA caused decreased levels of NO, cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), and Epo protein in Hep3B cells. L-NAME (analogue of L-NMMA) also inhibited Epo production in anemic mice. Transfection of the Epo promoter-luciferase gene into Hep3B cells revealed that L-NMMA inhibited the Epo promoter activity. However, L-NMMA did not inhibit the Epo promoter activity when mutated Epo promoter (GATA to TATA) was transfected, and L-NMMA did not affect the enhancer activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated the stimulation of GATA binding activity by L-NMMA. However, L-NMMA had no effect on the binding activity of hepatic nuclear factor-4, COUP-TF1, hypoxia-inducing factor-1, or NF-κB. Furthermore, cGMP inhibited the L-NMMA–induced GATA binding activity. L-NMMA also increased GATA-2 messenger RNA expression. These results demonstrate that L-NMMA suppresses Epo gene expression by up-regulation of the GATA transcription factor and support the hypothesis that L-NMMA is one of the candidate substances that underlie the pathogenesis of renal anemia.
