text: Directional intercellular transport of the phytohormone auxin mediated by
PIN FORMED (PIN) efflux carriers plays essential roles in both coordinating patterning
processes and integrating multiple external cues by rapidly redirecting auxin
fluxes. Multilevel regulations of PIN activity under internal and external cues
are complicated; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.
Here we demonstrate that 3’-Phosphoinositide-Dependent Protein Kinase1 (PDK1),
which is conserved in plants and mammals, functions as a molecular hub integrating
the upstream lipid signalling and the downstream substrate activity through phosphorylation.
Genetic analysis uncovers that loss-of-function Arabidopsis mutant pdk1.1 pdk1.2
exhibits a plethora of abnormalities in organogenesis and growth, due to the defective
PIN-dependent auxin transport. Further cellular and biochemical analyses reveal
that PDK1 phosphorylates D6 Protein Kinase to facilitate its activity towards
PIN proteins. Our studies establish a lipid-dependent phosphorylation cascade
connecting membrane composition-based cellular signalling with plant growth and
patterning by regulating morphogenetic auxin fluxes.
