摘要
ICK5 is one of the ICK family genes encoding CDK(cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor,which are negative regulators of cell division. AtNAP is a NAC family transcription factor gene that plays a key role in leaf senescence,but its mechanisms are not well elucidated. Here we report that AtICK5 is a direct target gene of the AtNAP transcription factor,and expression of AtICK5 was induced by leaf senescence. Leaf senescence in one T-DNA insertion line of AtICK5 is significantly delayed. The TDNA knockout plants are otherwise normal. The mutant phenotype can be restored to wild-type by the intact AtICK5. Overexpression of AtICK5 resulted in dwarf plants. When AtNAP was chemically induced,AtICK5 was also induced,and the expression of AtICK5 was significantly reduced in atnap. These data suggest that the expression of AtICK5 is predominantly dependent on AtNAP. Yeast onehybrid experiments showed that AtNAP could physically bind to AtICK5 promoter in vitro. These data suggest that AtICK5 as a direct target gene of AtNAP plays an important role in leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
