Gene Description

CLV1 is the Arabidopsis CLAVATA1 leucine-rich repeat receptor-like Ser/Thr kinase. It is a single-pass plasma membrane receptor with extracellular LRRs and a cytoplasmic kinase domain, placed by PANTHER in the plant LRR receptor-like Ser/Thr kinase family and CLAVATA1 subfamily. CLV1 binds CLV3 and related CLE peptides, forms CLV1/BAM receptor complexes with CIK co-receptors and cytoplasmic kinase effectors, and transduces phosphorylation signals that restrict stem cell proliferation and promote meristem homeostasis. Ligand perception also promotes CLV1 removal from the plasma membrane and trafficking to the lytic vacuole, consistent with feedback attenuation of receptor signaling.

The CLAVATA1 receptor-like kinase requires CLAVATA3 for its ...
ACCEPT
Summary: CLV1 is experimentally observed in 185-kD and CLV3-dependent 450-kD receptor complexes; the 450-kD complex includes KAPP and a Rho GTPase-related protein. This directly supports signal complex assembly as part of the CLV3-CLV1 signaling mechanism.
Reason: The term captures a specific mechanistic event in CLV1 signaling rather than a downstream developmental phenotype.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10072399
CLV1 is present in two protein complexes in vivo. One is approximately 185 kD, and the other is approximately 450 kD.
PMID:10072399
CLV3 functions to promote the assembly of the active 450-kD complex, which then relays signal transduction through a Rho GTPase.

Summary: Loss of CLV1 causes Arabidopsis shoot and floral meristems to accumulate excess undifferentiated cells. This is the canonical biological process regulated by CLV1 and is supported by mutant phenotype and expression data.
Reason: This is a core biological role of CLV1 in maintaining meristem size and organization through CLV3/CLE receptor signaling.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: CLV1 signaling affects the balance between meristem cell proliferation and differentiation, but this broad term and the mapping-focused reference do not capture the specific CLV1 process. A meristem-specific regulation term is already present and better represents the evidence.
Reason: "Cell differentiation" is too broad for CLV1. The functional evidence is specifically about meristem stem-cell homeostasis and meristem structural organization.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9160749
Normally, proliferation and differentiation are balanced, so that the structure and size of the shoot meristem is maintained.
PMID:20626648
CLAVATA1 (CLV1), CLV2, CLV3, CORYNE (CRN), BAM1 and BAM2 are key regulators that function at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) of plants to promote differentiation by limiting the size of the organizing center that maintains stem cell identity in neighboring cells.

Summary: CLV1 autophosphorylation is experimentally demonstrated and is central to its receptor kinase mechanism and interaction with KAPP.
Reason: Autophosphorylation is a direct biochemical property of CLV1 and helps explain recruitment of phospho-binding regulators.

ACCEPT
Summary: The CLE25/26/45-BAM/CLV1-CIK work supports a CLV1-containing receptor module required for CIK phosphorylation during root protophloem signaling. Together with direct kinase assays from other CLV1 studies, this supports Ser/Thr kinase activity.
Reason: The annotation is biologically correct, although PMID:34651321 supports the receptor-module phosphorylation event more directly than isolated CLV1 catalytic activity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:34651321
CLE25/26/45 enhanced the phosphorylation levels of CIKs, which were greatly impaired in clv1 bam1 3 mutant.

MODIFY
Summary: This KAPP/CLV1 interaction is real but "protein binding" is too generic. The biology is binding of CLV1 to the protein phosphatase KAPP through a phosphorylation-dependent kinase interaction domain.
Reason: Replace generic protein binding with protein phosphatase binding.
Proposed replacements: protein phosphatase binding
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10393905
Kinase-associated protein phosphatase interacts specifically with plant receptor-like protein kinases.
PMID:10393905
the observed weaker binding signal of the CLV1 to the KI domain in comparison to the interaction of KIK1 and the KI domain is likely the result of less phosphorylation on KI domain-binding sites of CLV1 than KIK1.

MODIFY
Summary: The reference is a proteomic survey of TAP-purified 14-3-3 omega complexes. This may indicate a CLV1 14-3-3 association, but it is high-throughput and not a core CLV1 function.
Reason: If retained, this should use the specific 14-3-3 protein binding term rather than generic protein binding, and should not be interpreted as a core CLV1 activity without focused validation.
Proposed replacements: 14-3-3 protein binding
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: The study supports weak interaction of CLV1 with CRN and interaction with CLV2-CRN heterodimers. Generic protein binding should be replaced by a receptor kinase/co-receptor binding term.
Reason: The interaction concerns receptor-like kinase components of the CLV signaling pathway, not nonspecific protein binding.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19843317
Additional LCI assays showed that CLV1 did not interact with CLV2, but can interact weakly with CRN.
PMID:19843317
We also found that CLV1 can interact with CLV2-CRN heterodimers, implying that these three proteins may form a complex.

Summary: PMID:20626648 supports several CLV1 interaction classes: CLV1 homomerization, CLV1-BAM receptor complexes, weaker CLV1-CLV2/CRN interactions, and CLV3/CLE peptide binding. The existing generic protein binding rows should be split into specific binding terms.
Reason: Replace generic protein binding with specific peptide hormone binding for CLE ligands and receptor Ser/Thr kinase binding for CLV1/BAM receptor-complex partners.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ATP binding is expected for the conserved cytoplasmic protein kinase domain and is required for CLV1 phosphorylation reactions. It is correct but generic and should not be treated as a distinct core function apart from Ser/Thr kinase activity.

GO_REF:0000024
ACCEPT
Summary: Protein serine kinase activity is consistent with CLV1's conserved Ser/Thr kinase domain and direct autophosphorylation evidence. It is narrower than the better-established Ser/Thr kinase term but not contradicted by the literature.
Reason: CLV1 is a Ser/Thr protein kinase, and serine autophosphorylation is directly annotated from experimental evidence.

Summary: CLE25/26/45 signaling depends on CLV1/BAM receptor modules and CIK phosphorylation; related work places PBL34/35/36 downstream of CLV1 for intracellular signal transmission. The term is broad but appropriate as a signaling-process annotation.
Reason: CLV1 is a membrane receptor kinase whose intracellular domain transduces extracellular CLE peptide perception into phosphorylation-dependent cytoplasmic signaling.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:34651321
Our work clarifies that the CLE25/26/45-BAM1/3-CIK2/3/4/5/6 signalling module genetically acts downstream of BRX and OPS to suppress protophloem differentiation.

Reason: Keep as a valid ligand-dependent trafficking annotation but not as the core active location; core signaling occurs at the plasma membrane.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: CLV1 and ACR4 localize to plasma membrane and plasmodesmata in distal root meristem cells and form homo- and heteromeric complexes. This is supported but is context-specific for root stemness signaling.
Reason: Keep as a non-core localization relevant to root meristem signaling; plasma membrane receptor kinase activity remains the main cellular role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:23394827
Both CLV1 and ACR4 overlap in their expression domains in the distal root meristem and localize to the plasma membrane (PM) and plasmodesmata (PDs), where ACR4 preferentially accumulates.
PMID:23394827
CLV1 and ACR4 can form homo- and heteromeric complexes that differ in their composition depending on their subcellular localization.

Core Functions

Plasma membrane CLV3/CLE peptide receptor kinase signaling. CLV1 binds CLV3-family CLE peptides through its extracellular LRR domain, forms CLV1/BAM/CIK receptor complexes, and uses its cytoplasmic Ser/Thr kinase activity to phosphorylate signaling partners such as KAPP, CIKs, and PBL34/35/36. This pathway restricts meristem stem cell proliferation and maintains shoot, floral, and root meristem homeostasis.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:19525968
    Post-translational arabinosylation of CLV3 is critical for its biological activity and high-affinity binding to its receptor CLV1.
  • PMID:29581511
    CIKs function as co-receptors of CLV1, CLV2/CRN and RPK2 to mediate CLV3 signalling through phosphorylation.
  • PMID:34935965
    Further biochemical assays revealed that PBL34/35/36 interacted with CLV1, BAM1/3, and CIKs, and were phosphorylated by CLV1 and BAM1.
  • PMID:9160749
    Arabidopsis plants homozygous for mutations at the CLAVATA1 (CLV1) locus accumulate excess undifferentiated cells.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which CLV1-family binding partners from high-throughput LRR-RK interaction datasets are reproducible in native meristem tissue, and which are biologically relevant CLV1 signaling partners?

Q: How much of CLV1's root and stomatal patterning activity is unique to CLV1 versus redundant with BAM1/BAM3 and other CLV1-family receptors?

Q: What are the in vivo phosphorylation sites on CIK, MAZ/Pti1-like, and PBL34/35/36 proteins that are directly dependent on CLV1 catalytic activity after specific CLE peptide treatments?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare phosphoproteomes from native-pCLV1 rescue lines expressing wild type CLV1 versus kinase-dead CLV1(K720E), with and without short CLV3p treatment. Enrich CLV1 complexes from dissected apices and quantify CIK, PBL34/35/36, MAZ/Pti1-like, and KAPP phosphorylation sites by targeted mass spectrometry.

Hypothesis: CLV1 directly phosphorylates a defined subset of CIK and PBL/RLCK targets after CLV3 perception in shoot meristems.

Type: phosphoproteomics

Experiment: Use endocytosis- or vacuolar-trafficking-impaired backgrounds carrying functional CLV1 fluorescent reporters, then measure CLV3 dose-response, WUS reporter output, receptor abundance at the plasma membrane, and meristem size over time.

Hypothesis: Ligand-dependent CLV1 trafficking to the lytic vacuole tunes signal output without being required for initial CLV3 perception.

Type: live imaging and genetic epistasis
