The dynamic maintenance of polar domains in the plasma membrane (PM) is critical for many fundamental processes, e.g., polar cell growth and growth guidance but remains poorly characterized. Rapid tip growth of Arabidopsis pollen tubes requires dynamic distribution of active ROP1 GTPase to the apical domain. Here, we show that clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) coordinates lateral REN4 with apical ROP1 signaling. REN4 interacted with but antagonized active ROP1. REN4 also interacts and co-localizes with CME components, but exhibits an opposite role to CME, which removes both REN4 and active ROP1 from the PM. Mathematical modeling shows that REN4 restrains the spatial distribution of active ROP1 and is important for the robustness of polarity control. Hence our results indicate that REN4 acts as a spatiotemporal rheostat by interacting with ROP1 to initiate their removal from the PM by CME, thereby coordinating a dynamic demarcation between apical and lateral domains during rapid tip growth.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
