| Sumario: | As sessile organisms, plants must directly deal with an often complex and adverse environment in which hyperosmotic stress is one of the most serious abiotic factors, challenging cellular physiology and integrity. The plasma membrane (PM) is the hydrophobic barrier between the inside and outside environments of cells and is considered a central compartment in cellular adaptation to diverse stress conditions through dynamic PM remodeling. Endocytosis is a powerful method for rapid remodeling of the PM. In animal cells, different endocytic pathways are activated in response to osmotic stress, while only a few reports are related to the endocytosis response pathway and involve a mechanism in plant cells upon hyperosmotic stress. In this study, using different endocytosis inhibitors, the microdomain-specific dye di-4-ANEPPDHQ, variable-angle total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (VA-TIRFM), and confocal microscopy, we discovered that internalized Clathrin Light Chain-Green Fluorescent Protein (CLC-GFP) increased under hyperosmotic conditions, accompanied by decreased fluorescence intensity of CLC-GFP at the PM. CLC-GFP tended to have higher diffusion coefficients and a fraction of CLC-GFP molecules underwent slower diffusion upon hyperosmotic stress. Meanwhile, an increased motion range of CLC-GFP was found under hyperosmotic treatment compared with the control. In addition, the order of the PM decreased, but the order of the endosome increased when cells were in hyperosmotic conditions. Hence, our results demonstrated that clathrin-mediated endocytosis and membrane microdomain-associated endocytosis both participate in the adaptation to hyperosmotic stress. These findings will help to further understand the role and the regulatory mechanism involved in plant endocytosis in helping plants adapt to osmotic stress. |
