    Abstract Mechanical forces were arguably among the first stimuli to be perceived by cells, and they continue to shape the evolution of all organisms. Great strides have been made in recent years in the field of plant cell and molecular mechanobiology, in part owing to focused efforts on key model systems. Here, we propose to enrich such work through evolutionary mechanobiology, or ‘evo-mechano’, and describe three major themes that could drive research in this area. We use plastid evo-mechano as a case study, describing how plastids from different lineages perceive their mechanical environments, how their mechanical properties vary across lineages, and their distinct roles in graviperception. Finally, we argue that future research into the biomechanical properties and mechanobiological signaling mechanisms that have been elaborated by green species over the past 1.5 billion years will help us understand both the universal and the unique adaptations of plants to their physical environment.

    Abstract This Viewpoint, which accompanies a Special Issue focusing on membrane mechanosensors, discusses unifying and unique features of both established and emerging mechanosensitive (MS) membrane proteins, their distribution across protein families and phyla, and current and future challenges in the study of these important proteins and their partners. MS membrane proteins are essential for tissue development, cellular motion, osmotic homeostasis, and sensing external and self-generated mechanical cues like those responsible for touch and proprioception. Though researchers' attention and this Viewpoint focus on a few famous ion channels that are considered the usual suspects as MS mechanosensors, we also discuss some of the more unusual suspects, such as G-protein coupled receptors. As the field continues to grow, so too will the list of proteins suspected to function as mechanosensors and the diversity of known MS membrane proteins.

    Abstract The PIEZO protein family was first described in animals where these mechanosensitive calcium channels perform numerous essential functions, including the perception of light touch, shear, and compressive forces. PIEZO homologs are present in most eukaryotic lineages and recently we reported that two PIEZO homologs from moss Physcomitrium patens localize to the vacuolar membrane and modulate its morphology in tip-growing caulonemal cells. Here we show that predicted structures of both PpPIEZO1 and PpPIEZO2 are very similar to that of mouse Piezo2. Furthermore, we show that both moss PIEZO genes are ubiquitously expressed in moss vegetative tissues and that they are not required for normal vacuolar pH or intracellular osmotic potential. These results suggest that moss PIEZO proteins are widely expressed mechanosensory calcium channels that serve a signaling rather than maintenance role in vacuoles.

    Abstract Plants possess numerous ion channels that respond to a range of stimuli, including small molecules, transmembrane voltage, and mechanical force. Many in the latter category, known as mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels, open directly in response to increases in lateral membrane tension. One of the most effective techniques for characterizing ion channel properties is patch-clamp electrophysiology, in which the current through a section of membrane containing ion channels is measured. For MS channels, this technique enables the measurement of key channel properties such as tension sensitivity, conductance, and ion selectivity. These characteristics, along with the phenotypes of genetic mutants, can help reveal the physiological roles of a particular MS channel. In this protocol, we provide detailed instructions on how to study MS ion channels using single-channel patch-clamp electrophysiology in giant E. coli spheroplasts. We first present an optimized method for preparing giant spheroplasts, then describe how to measure MS channel activity using patch-clamp electrophysiology and analyze the resulting data. We also provide recommended equipment lists, setup schematics, and useful conventions.

    Abstract The ability to respond to unanticipated increases in volume is a fundamental property of cells, essential for cellular integrity in the face of osmotic challenges. Plants must manage cell swelling during flooding, rehydration, and pathogen invasion-but little is known about the mechanisms by which this occurs. It has been proposed that plant cells could sense and respond to cell swelling through the action of mechanosensitive ion channels. Here, we characterize a new assay to study the effects of cell swelling on Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and to test the contributions of the mechanosensitive ion channel MscS-like10 (MSL10). The assay incorporates both cell wall softening and hypo-osmotic treatment to induce cell swelling. We show that MSL10 is required for several previously demonstrated responses to hypo-osmotic shock, including a cytoplasmic calcium transient within the first few seconds, accumulation of ROS within the first 30 min, and increased transcript levels of mechano-inducible genes within 60 min. We also show that cell swelling induces programmed cell death within 3 h in a MSL10-dependent manner. Finally, we show that MSL10 is unable to potentiate cell swelling-induced death when phosphomimetic residues are introduced into its soluble N terminus. Thus, MSL10 functions as a phospho-regulated membrane-based sensor that connects the perception of cell swelling to a downstream signaling cascade and programmed cell death.
