Abstract
Endocytic vesicle trafficking is crucial for regulating activity and localization of plasma membrane components, but the process is still poorly genetically defined in plants. Membrane proteins of the PIN-FORMED (PIN) family exhibit polar localization in plant cells and facilitate cellular efflux of the plant hormone auxin, thereby regulating multiple developmental processes [1, 2]. PIN proteins undergo constitutive endocytosis and GNOM ARF GEF-dependent recycling [3-5], and their localization is under extensive regulation by developmental and environmental cues [6-9]. We designed a fluorescence imaging-based screen to identify Arabidopsis thaliana mutants defective in internalization of proteins including PINs from the plasma membrane. We identified three mutant loci, BFA-visualized endocytic trafficking defective1 (ben1) through ben3 that do not efficiently accumulate PIN1-GFP in intracellular compartments after inhibition of recycling and secretion by fungal toxin brefeldin A (BFA). Fine mapping revealed that BEN1 encodes an ARF GEF vesicle trafficking regulator from the functionally uncharacterized BIG class. ben1 mutant has been previously implicated in pathogen response [10] and shows cell polarity, BFA sensitivity, and growth defects. BEN1 is involved in endocytosis of plasma membrane proteins and localizes to early endocytic compartments distinct from GNOM-positive endosomes. Our results identify BEN1 as the ARF GEF mediating early endosomal traffic.
