Arabidopsis RTE1 encodes a membrane protein and negatively regulates ethylene responses. Genetic and transformation studies suggest that the function of the wild-type RTE1 is primarily dependent on ETR1 and can be independent on the other receptors. Ethylene insensitivity caused by the overexpression of RTE1 is largely masked by the etr1-7 mutation, but not by any other receptor mutations. The wild-type ETR1 N terminus is sufficient to the activation of the RTE1 function and the ectopic expression of etr1(1-349) restored ethylene insensitivity conferred by 35S::gRTE1 in etr1-7. The RTE1 N terminus is not essential to the etr1-2 function and the expression of rte1(N 49), which has an N-terminal deletion of 49 amino acid residues, restored ethylene insensitivity in etr1-2 rte1-2. The ectopic expression of GFP-RTE1 conferred ethylene insensitivity in wild type and the GFP-fusion displayed fast movement within the cytoplasm. The GFP-RTE1 and EYFP-NAG proteins co-localized and the BFA treatment caused aggregation of GFP-RTE1, suggesting RTE1 a Golgi-associated protein. Our results suggest specificity of the RTE1 function to ETR1 and that endomembranes may play a role in the ethylene signal transduction.
