Heat stress-induced decapping of WUSCHEL mRNA enhances stem cell thermotolerance in Arabidopsis

The plasticity of stem cells in response to environmental change is critical for multicellular organisms.Here,we show that MYB3R-like directly activates the key plant stem-cell regulator WUSCHEL(WUS)by recruiting the methyltransferase ROOT INITIATION DEFECTIVE 2(RID2),which functions in m7G methylation of the 5'cap of WUS mRNA to protect it from degradation.Transcriptomic and molecular analyses showed that protein-folding genes are repressed by WUS to maintain precise protein synthesis in stem cells by prevent-ing the reuse of misfolded proteins.Interestingly,we found that upon heat stress,the MYB3R-like/RID2 module is repressed to reduce WUS transcript abundance through decapping of nascent WUS mRNA.This releases the inhibition of protein-folding capacity in stem cells and protects them from heat shock by eliminating misfolded protein aggregation.Taken together,our results reveal a strategic trade-off whereby plants reduce the accuracy of protein synthesis in exchange for the survival of stem cells at high temperatures.
