Isoxaben is a pre-emergence herbicide that inhibits cellulose
biosynthesis in higher plants. Two loci identified by
isoxaben-resistant mutants (ixr1-1,
ixr1-2, and ixr2-1) in Arabidopsis have
been reported previously. IXR1 was recently shown to
encode the cellulose synthase catalytic subunit CESA3 (W.-R. Scheible,
R. Eshed, T. Richmond, D. Delmer, and C. Somerville [2001] Proc Natl
Acad Sci USA 98: 10079-10084). Here, we report on the
cloning of IXR2, and show that it encodes another cellulose
synthase isoform, CESA6. ixr2-1 carries a mutation
substituting an amino acid close to the C terminus of CESA6 that is
highly conserved among CESA family members. Transformation of wild-type
plants with the mutated gene and not with the wild-type gene conferred
increased resistance against the herbicide. The simplest interpretation
for the existence of these two isoxaben-resistant loci is that CESA3
and CESA6 have redundant functions. However, loss of function
procuste1 alleles of CESA6 were previously shown
to have a strong growth defect and reduced cellulose content in roots
and dark-grown hypocotyls. This indicates that in these mutants, the
presence of CESA3 does not compensate for the absence of CESA6 in roots
and dark-grown hypocotyls, which argues against redundant functions for
CESA3 and CESA6. Together, these observations are compatible with a model in which CESA6 and CESA3 are active as a protein complex.
