The baseless mutant links protein phosphatase 2A with basal cell identity in the brown alga Ectocarpus

Résumé

The first mitotic division of the initial cell is a key event in all multicellular organisms and is usually concomitant with the establishment of major developmental axes and cell fates. The brown alga Ectocarpus has a haploid-diploid life cycle that involves the development of two multicellular and independent generations, the sporophyte and the gametophyte. Each generation deploys a distinct developmental program autonomously from an initial cell, whose first cell division sets up the future body pattern. Here, we show that mutations in the BASELESS (BAS) gene result in multiple cellular defects during the first division of the initial cell and subsequently failure to produce basal structures (rhizoids and prostrate filaments) during both generations of the life cycle. Cloning-by-sequencing revealed that BAS encodes a type B" regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A, and transcriptomic analysis of early developmental stages uncovered potential effector genes involved in setting up basal cell fate in this organism. The bas mutant phenotype is very similar to that observed in the distag (dis) mutants, which lack a functional TBCCd1 protein, at both the cellular and morphological levels. The high level of similarity of the dis and bas mutant phenotypes indicate that TBCCd1 and PP2A are two critical components of the cellular machinery that regulates the division of the initial cell and mediates the establishment of basal cell fate in the developing thallus.
