Abstract:

N-terminal acetyltransferase Naa50 plays an important role in regulating growth and development in Arabidopsis. In order to explore whether Naa50 affects plant growth and development by regulating cell mitosis, the naa50-1 mutant was crossed with H2B-YFP line, and the segregation behavior of chromosomes during cell division was detected by H2B-YFP. The results showed that compared with the wild-type, the cell mitotic index in root meristem region of naa50-1 mutant decreased, chromosome aberration rate and micronucleus rate increased, and so as the proportion of cells in metaphase increased. The expression of CYCB1 protein in root cells was detected by crossing of naa50-1 mutant with CYCB1-CUS, and it was found that the expression of CYCB1 protein in naa50-1 mutant was increased. PI staining analysis showed that there were several dead cells in the root of naa50-1 mutant. These results indicated that Naa50 promotes the equal distribution of genetic material between two daughter cells during mitosis and the transition from metaphase to anaphase. Overall, Naa50 is involved in the regulation of plant growth and development by regulating cell division.
