Water-stress induced downsizing of light-harvesting antenna complex protects developing rice seedlings from photo-oxidative damage.

ABSTRACT: The impact of water-stress on chloroplast development was studied by applying polyethylene glycol 6000 to the roots of 5-day-old etiolated rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings that were subsequently illuminated up to 72 h. Chloroplast development in drought environment led to down-regulation of light-harvesting Chl-proteins. Photosynthetic proteins of Photosystem II (PSII) and oxygen evolving complex i.e., Cytb559, OEC16, OEC23 and OEC33 as well as those of PSI such as PSI-III, PSI-V, and PSI-VI, decreased in abundance. Consequently, due to reduced light absorption by antennae, the electron transport rates of PSII and PSI decreased by 55% and 25% respectively. Further, seedling development in stress condition led to a decline in the ratio of variable (Fv) to maximum (Fm) Chl a fluorescence, as well in the quantum yield of PSII photochemistry. Addition of Mg2+ to the thylakoid membranes suggested that Mg2+-induced grana stacking was not affected by water deficit. Proteomic analysis revealed the down-regulation of proteins involved in electron transport and in carbon reduction reactions, and up-regulation of antioxidative enzymes. Our results demonstrate that developing seedlings under water deficit could downsize their light-harvesting capacity and components of photosynthetic apparatus to prevent photo-oxidative stress, excess ROS generation and membrane lipid peroxidation.

Project description:Cancer therapy resistance, whether it is pre-existing, emerges after acquiring de novo mutations, or occurs through non-genetic adaptationwhether pre-existing or arising following the acquisition of de novo mutations and via non-genetic adaptation , is stillremains a clinical challenge. Multiple anticancer drugs are thought to cause cell death via increasing mitochondrial ROS which are a bioproduct of oxidative phosphorylation. However, when properly titrated, ROS can also promote cancer cell adaptation. In keeping line with this, upregulation of mitochondrial respiration coupled to high ROS-scavenging capacity is a characteristic shared by drug-tolerant cells in several cancers. Translational fidelity in the mitochondria and in the cytosol is essential for cell fitness and thus oxidative damage to the ribosomes should be prevented at all costs. While mechanisms for recognizing and repairing such damage exist in the cytoplasm, the status within mitochondria remains unclear. By performing ascorbate peroxidase (APEX)-proximity ligation assay directed to the mitochondrial matrix followed by isolation and sequencing of RNA associated to mitochondrial proteins, we identified the nuclear encoded lncRNA ROSALIND as a interacting partner of ribosomes. ROSALIND is upregulated in recurrent tumours and its expression can discriminate between responders and non-responders to immune checkpoint blockade in a melanoma cohort of patients. Featuring an unusually high G content, ROSALIND serves as a substrate for oxidation. Consequently, inhibiting ROSALIND leads to an increase in ROS and protein oxidation, resulting in severe mitochondrial respiration defects. This, in turn, impairs melanoma cell viability and immunogenicity both in vitro and ex vivo in preclinical humanized cancer models. These findings underscore the role of ROSALIND as a novel ROS buffering system, safeguarding mitochondrial translation from oxidative stress, and shed light on potential therapeutic strategies for overcoming cancer therapy resistance.
