Abstract

The natural auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a key regulator of many aspects of plant growth and development. Synthetic auxin herbicides such as 2,4-D mimic the effects of IAA by inducing strong auxinic signaling responses in plants. To determine the mechanism of 2,4-D resistance in a Sisymbrium orientale (Indian hedge mustard) weed population, we performed a transcriptome analysis of 2,4-D-resistant (R) and -susceptible (S) genotypes that revealed an in-frame 27-nucleotide deletion removing 9 amino acids in the degron tail (DT) of the auxin co-receptor Aux/IAA2 (SoIAA2). The deletion allele co-segregated with 2,4-D resistance in recombinant inbred lines. Further, this deletion was also detected in several 2,4-D resistant field populations of this species. Arabidopsis transgenic lines expressing the SoIAA2 mutant allele were resistant to 2,4-D and dicamba. The IAA2-DT deletion reduced binding to TIR1 in vitro with both natural and synthetic auxins, causing reduced association and increased dissociation rates. This novel mechanism of synthetic auxin herbicide resistance assigns a new in planta function to the DT region of this Aux/IAA co-receptor for its role in synthetic auxin binding kinetics and reveals a potential biotechnological approach to produce synthetic auxin resistant crops using gene editing.

Description

Output files from protein docking analysis of the wild-type IAA2 protein and the mutant IAA2 version containing a nine amino acid deletion. These residues were used as docking parameters in HADDOCK 2.4 (https://wenmr.science.uu.nl/haddock2.4/). Docking calculations were performed under expert level, deactivating the DNA/RNA functions and activating the Surface Contact Restrains to enforce contact between the molecules. Degron residues KNNN of SoIAA2 were assigned semiflexible properties during docking whereas the shorter connection in SoIAA2Δ9 was not allowed to be flexible to preserve the structural integrity of PB1. The binding affinities of the SoIAA2/TIR1 and SoIAA2Δ9/TIR1 biological complexes were calculated using PRODIGY (https://bianca.science.uu.nl/prodigy/) for all top 4 poses from the best HADDOCK clusters. Plots are in .html format and protein models are in .pdb format. Files are in TGZ after gzip compression.
