Key messagePCaP2 plays a key role in maintaining the nucleus at a relatively fixed distance from the apex during root hair growth by modulating actin filaments.AbstractDuring root hair growth, the nucleus localizes at a relatively fixed distance from the apex. InArabidopsis thaliana, the position of the nucleus is mainly dependent on the configuration of microfilaments (filamentous actin). However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of actin dynamics and organization for nuclear positioning are largely unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that plasma membrane-associated Ca2+binding protein 2 (PCaP2) influences the position of the nucleus during root hair growth. Abnormal expression ofPCaP2inpcap2andPCaP2 over-expressionplants led to the disorganization of actin filaments, rather than microtubules, in the apex and sub-apical regions of root hairs, which resulted in aberrant root hair growth patterns and misplaced nuclei. Analyses using a PCaP2 mutant protein revealed that actin-severing activity is essential for the function of PCaP2 in root hairs. We demonstrated that PCaP2 plays a key role in maintaining nuclear position in growing root hairs by modulating actin filaments.
