A Protein Farnesyl Transferase Involved in Abscisic Acid Signal Transduction in Arabidopsis

Sean Cutler, * Majid Ghassemian, Dario Bonetta, Sarah Cooney, Peter McCourt dagger

The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) modulates a variety of developmental processes and responses to environmental stress in higher plants. A collection of mutations, designated era, in Arabidopsis thaliana that confer an enhanced response to exogenous ABA includes mutations in the Era1 gene, which encodes the beta  subunit of a protein farnesyl transferase. In yeast and mammalian systems, farnesyl transferases modify several signal transduction proteins for membrane localization. The era1 mutants suggest that a negative regulator of ABA sensitivity must be acted on by a farnesyl transferase to function.
