Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are important phenolic compounds and PA biosynthesis is regulated by a ternary MBW complex consisting of a R2R3-MYB regulator, a bHLH factor and a WDR protein. In this study, a tobacco R2R3-MYB factor NtMYB330 was characterized as the PA-specific regulator in which the PA biosynthesis was promoted in the flowers of NtMYB330-overexpressing lines while decreased in the flowers of ntmyb330 mutants. NtMYB330 can interact with flavonoid-related bHLH partner NtAn1b and WDR protein NtAn11-1, and the NtMYB330-NtAn1b complex is required to achieve strong transcriptional activation of the PA-related structural genes NtDFR1, NtANS1, NtLAR1 and NtANR1. Our data reveal that NtMYB330 regulates PA biosynthesis in seeds and affects seed germination, in which NtMYB330-overexpressing lines showed higher PA accumulations in seed coats and inhibited germination, while ntmyb330 mutants had reduced seed coat PAs and improved germination. NtMYB330 affects seed germination possibly through two mechanisms: modulating seed coat PAs to affect coat-imposed dormancy. In addition, NtMYB330 regulates the expressions of abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin acid (GA) signaling-related genes, affecting ABA-GA crosstalk and seed germination. This study reveals that NtMYB330 specifically regulates PA biosynthesis via formation of the MBW complex in tobacco flowers and affects germination through adjustment of PA concentrations and ABA/GA signaling in tobacco seeds.

AbstractMembers of the R/B basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of plant transcription factors are involved in a variety of growth and differentiation processes. We isolated a dominant mutation in an R/B-related bHLH transcription factor in the course of studying Arabidopsis tryptophan pathway regulation. This mutant, atr2D, displayed increased expression of several tryptophan genes as well as a subset of other stress-responsive genes. The atr2D mutation creates an aspartate to asparagine change at a position that is highly conserved in R/B factors. Substitutions of other residues with uncharged side chains at this position also conferred dominant phenotypes. Moreover, overexpression of mutant atr2D, but not wild-type ATR2, conferred pleiotropic effects, including reduced size, dark pigmentation, and sterility. Therefore, atr2D is likely to be an altered-function allele that identifies a key regulatory site in the R/B factor coding sequence. Double-mutant analysis with atr1D, an overexpression allele of the ATR1 Myb factor previously isolated in tryptophan regulation screens, showed that atr2D and atr1D have additive effects on tryptophan regulation and are likely to act through distinct mechanisms to activate tryptophan genes. The dominant atr mutations thus provide tools for altering tryptophan metabolism in plants.
