1 Nuclear localization of the mutant protein phosphatase abi1 is required for insensitivity towards ABA responses in Arabidopsis. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 ABI1, a protein phosphatase 2C, is a key component of ABA signal transduction in Arabidopsis that regulates numerous ABA responses, such as stomatal closure, seed germination and inhibition of vegetative growth. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
3 ABI1, a protein phosphatase 2C, is a key component of ABA signal transduction in Arabidopsis that regulates numerous ABA responses, such as stomatal closure, seed germination and inhibition of vegetative growth. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
4 The abi1-1 mutation, so far the only characterized dominant allele for ABI1, impairs ABA responsitivity in both seeds and vegetative tissues. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
5 The abi1-1 mutation, so far the only characterized dominant allele for ABI1, impairs ABA responsitivity in both seeds and vegetative tissues. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
6 We show that there is an essential requirement for nuclear localization of abi1 to confer insensitivity towards ABA responses. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
7 Transient analyses in protoplasts revealed a strict dependence of wild-type ABI1 and mutant abi1 on a functional nuclear localization sequence (NLS) for regulating ABA-dependent gene expression. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
8 Transient analyses in protoplasts revealed a strict dependence of wild-type ABI1 and mutant abi1 on a functional nuclear localization sequence (NLS) for regulating ABA-dependent gene expression. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
9 Arabidopsis lines with ectopic expression of various abi1 forms corroborated the necessity of a functional NLS to control ABA sensitivity. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
10 Disruption of the NLS function in abi1 rescued ABA-controlled gene transcription to wild-type levels, but also attenuated abi1-conferred insensitivity towards ABA during seed germination, root growth and stomatal movement. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
11 Thus, abi1-1 acts as a hypermorphic allele, and ABI1 reprograms sensitivity towards ABA in the nucleus. alisol B 23-acetate Protein phosphatase 2C family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
