RESUMO
In animals, endocytosis of a seven-transmembrane GPCR is mediated by arrestins to propagate or arrest cytoplasmic G protein-mediated signaling, depending on the bias of the receptor or ligand, which determines how much one transduction pathway is used compared to another. In Arabidopsis thaliana, GPCRs are not required for G protein-coupled signaling because the heterotrimeric G protein complex spontaneously exchanges nucleotide. Instead, the seven-transmembrane protein AtRGS1 modulates G protein signaling through ligand-dependent endocytosis, which initiates derepression of signaling without the involvement of canonical arrestins. Here, we found that endocytosis of AtRGS1 initiated from two separate pools of plasma membrane: sterol-dependent domains and a clathrin-accessible neighborhood, each with a select set of discriminators, activators, and candidate arrestin-like adaptors. Ligand identity (either the pathogen-associated molecular pattern flg22 or the sugar glucose) determined the origin of AtRGS1 endocytosis. Different trafficking origins and trajectories led to different cellular outcomes. Thus, in this system, compartmentation with its associated signalosome architecture drives biased signaling.

Plants continuously need to adapt to their environment and prioritize either growth or defense responses to secure survival and reproduction. Trade-offs between growth and defense are often attributed to the allocation of energy for growth to adaptation responses. Still, the exact mechanisms underlying growth and defense trade-offs are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the growth-related transcription factor HOMOLOG OF BEE2 INTERACTING WITH IBH 1 (HBI1) regulates apoplastic reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis by differentially controlling the expression of NADPH oxidases (NOXs) and peroxidases (POXs). The HBI1 target genes RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG A (RbohA) and RbohC have contrasting effects on the regulation of cell size. In addition, the HBI1-controlled NOXs and POXs oppositely regulate susceptibility toward Pseudomonas syringae. Our findings reveal that the incompatibility between growth and defense programs can be attributed to the way apoplastic ROS homeostasis is modulated during both processes.
