Investigation of two-pore K+ (TPK) channels in Triticum aestivum L. suggests their role in stress response

© 2024 The Author(s)..

Two-pore K+ (TPK) channels are voltage-independent and involved in stress response in plants. Herein, we identified 12 TaTPK genes located on nine chromosomes in the Triticum aestivum genome. The majority of TaTPK genes comprised two exons. Each TaTPK channel comprised four transmembrane (TM) helices, N- and C-terminal ion-channel domains, two EF-hand domains and one 14-3-3 binding site. Additionally, highly conserved 'GYGD' motif responsible for K+ ion specificity, was found in between the TMs in both the ion-channel domains. Nine TaTPK channels were predicted to be localised at the plasma membrane, while three were vacuolar. The protein-protein and protein-chemical interactions indicated the coordinated functioning of the TaTPK channels with the other K+ transporters and their possible interaction with the Ca2+-signaling pathway. Expression studies suggested their importance in both vegetative and reproductive tissues development. Significantly modulated expression of various TaTPK genes during heat, drought, combined heat and drought and salt stresses, and after fungal infestation, depicted their function in stress responses. The miRNAs and transcription factors interaction analyses suggested their role in the hormone, light, growth and development-related, and stress-responsive signaling cascades. The current study suggested vital functions of various TaTPK genes, especially in stress response, and would provide an opportunity for their detailed characterization in future studies.
