Phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) include a large group of proteins implicated in the non vesicular traffic of phosphatidylinositol (PI) between membranes. In yeast, the structure and function of the PITP Sec14-p protein have been well characterized. In contrast, the knowledge on plant PITP proteins is very scarce. In this work, we characterized a novel type of PITP protein in barley named HvSec14p and related to the yeast Sec14-p protein. Our data reveal that HvSec14p consists of only the Sec14p-domain structurally homologous to the yeast phosphoinositide binding domain. We show that HvSec14p expression is up-regulated at both transcript and protein levels at specific stages of development during seed formation and germination, and in leaves of a drought-tolerant barley genotype under osmotic constraints. Modeling analyses of the protein three-dimensional structure revealed its capacity to dock the phosphoinositides, PtdIns(3)P, Ptdlns(4)P, PtdIns(5)P and Ptdlns(3,5)P-2. Consistently, the recombinant HvSec14p protein is able to bind in vitro most PIP types, the highest affinity being observed with Ptdlns(3,5)P2. Based on the high gene expression at specific developmental stages and in drought-tolerant barley genotypes, we propose that HvSec14p plays essential roles in the biogenesis of membranes in expanding cells and in their preservation under osmotic stress conditions.
