Abundance of metalloprotease FtsH12 modulates chloroplast development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: The ATP-dependent metalloprotease FtsH12 (filamentation temperature sensitive protein H 12) has been suggested to participate in a heteromeric motor complex, driving protein translocation into the chloroplast. FtsH12 was immuno-detected in proplastids, seedlings, leaves, and roots. Expression of Myc-tagged FtsH12 under its native promotor allowed identification of FtsHi1, 2, 4, and 5, and plastidic NAD-malate dehydrogenase, five of the six interaction partners in the suggested import motor complex. Arabidopsis thaliana mutant seedlings with reduced FTSH12 abundance exhibited pale cotyledons and small, deformed chloroplasts with altered thylakoid structure. Mature plants retained these chloroplast defects, resulting in slightly variegated leaves and lower chlorophyll content. Label-free proteomics revealed strong changes in the proteome composition of FTSH12 knock-down seedlings, reflecting impaired plastid development. The composition of the translocon on the inner chloroplast membrane (TIC) protein import complex was altered, with coordinated reduction of the FtsH12-FtsHi complex subunits and accumulation of the 1 MDa TIC complex subunits TIC56, TIC214 and TIC22-III. FTSH12 overexpressor lines showed no obvious phenotype, but still displayed distinct differences in their proteome. N-terminome analyses further demonstrated normal proteolytic maturation of plastid-imported proteins irrespective of FTSH12 abundance. Together, our data suggest that FtsH12 has highest impact during seedling development; its abundance alters the plastid import machinery and impairs chloroplast development.

AtRsmD Is Required for Chloroplast Development and Chloroplast Function in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:AtRsmD was recently demonstrated to be a chloroplast 16S rRNA methyltransferase (MTase) for the m2G915 modification in Arabidopsis. Here, its function of AtRsmD for chloroplast development and photosynthesis was further analyzed. The AtRsmD gene is highly expressed in green photosynthetic tissues. AtRsmD is associated with the thylakoid in chloroplasts. The atrsmd-2 mutant exhibited impaired photosynthetic efficiency in emerging leaves under normal growth conditions. A few thylakoid lamellas could be observed in the chloroplast from the atrsmd-2 mutant, and these thylakoids were loosely organized. Knockout of the AtRsmD gene had minor effects on chloroplast ribosome biogenesis and RNA loading on chloroplast ribosomes, but it reduced the amounts of chloroplast-encoded photosynthesis-related proteins in the emerging leaves, for example, D1, D2, CP43, and CP47, which reduced the accumulation of the photosynthetic complex. Nevertheless, knockout of the AtRsmD gene did not cause a general reduction in chloroplast-encoded proteins in Arabidopsis grown under normal growth conditions. Additionally, the atrsmd-2 mutant exhibited more sensitivity to lincomycin, which specifically inhibits the elongation of nascent polypeptide chains. Cold stress exacerbated the effect on chloroplast ribosome biogenesis in the atrsmd-2 mutant. All these data suggest that the AtRsmD protein plays distinct regulatory roles in chloroplast translation, which is required for chloroplast development and chloroplast function.

Stromal Protein Chloroplast Development and Biogenesis1 Is Essential for Chloroplast Development and Biogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Although numerous studies have been carried out on chloroplast development and biogenesis, the underlying regulatory mechanisms are still largely elusive. Here, we characterized a chloroplast stromal protein Chloroplast Development and Biogenesis1 (CDB1). The knockout cdb1 mutant exhibits a seedling-lethal and ivory leaf phenotype. Immunoblot and RNA blot analyses show that accumulation of chloroplast ribosomes is compromised in cdb1, resulting in an almost complete loss of plastid-encoded proteins including the core subunits of the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) RpoB and RpoC2, and therefore in impaired PEP activity. Orthologs of CDB1 are found in green algae and land plants. Moreover, a protein shows high similarity with CDB1, designated as CDB1-Like (CDB1L), is present in angiosperms. Absence of CDB1L results in impaired embryo development. While CDB1 is specifically located in the chloroplast stroma, CDB1L is localized in both chloroplasts and mitochondria in Arabidopsis. Thus, our results demonstrate that CDB1 is indispensable for chloroplast development and biogenesis through its involvement in chloroplast ribosome assembly whereas CDB1L may fulfill a similar function in both mitochondria and chloroplasts.

A plant DJ-1 homolog is essential for Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast development.

Project description:Protein superfamilies can exhibit considerable diversification of function among their members in various organisms. The DJ-1 superfamily is composed of proteins that are principally involved in stress response and are widely distributed in all kingdoms of life. The model flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana contains three close homologs of animal DJ-1, all of which are tandem duplications of the DJ-1 domain. Consequently, the plant DJ-1 homologs are likely pseudo-dimeric proteins composed of a single polypeptide chain. We report that one A. thaliana DJ-1 homolog (AtDJ1C) is the first DJ-1 homolog in any organism that is required for viability. Homozygous disruption of the AtDJ1C gene results in non-viable, albino seedlings that can be complemented by expression of wild-type or epitope-tagged AtDJ1C. The plastids from these dj1c plants lack thylakoid membranes and granal stacks, indicating that AtDJ1C is required for proper chloroplast development. AtDJ1C is expressed early in leaf development when chloroplasts mature, but is downregulated in older tissue, consistent with a proposed role in plastid development. In addition to its plant-specific function, AtDJ1C is an atypical member of the DJ-1 superfamily that lacks a conserved cysteine residue that is required for the functions of most other superfamily members. The essential role for AtDJ1C in chloroplast maturation expands the known functional diversity of the DJ-1 superfamily and provides the first evidence of a role for specialized DJ-1-like proteins in eukaryotic development.

PDM4, a Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein, Affects Chloroplast Gene Expression and Chloroplast Development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Extensive studies have been carried out on chloroplast gene expression and chloroplast development; however, the regulatory mechanism is still largely unknown. Here, we characterized Pigment-Defective Mutant4 (PDM4), a P-type PPR protein localized in chloroplast. The pdm4 mutant showed seedling-lethal and albino phenotype under heterotrophic growth conditions. Transmission electron microscopic analysis revealed that thylakoid structure was totally disrupted in pdm4 mutant and eventually led to the breakdown of chloroplasts. The levels of several chloroplast- and nuclear-encoded proteins are strongly reduced in pdm4 mutant. Besides, transcript profile analysis detected that, in pdm4 mutant, the expression of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase-dependent genes was markedly affected, and deviant chloroplast rRNA processing was also observed. In addition, we found that PDM4 functions in the splicing of group II introns and may also be involved in the assembly of the 50S ribosomal particle. Our results demonstrate that PDM4 plays an important role in chloroplast gene expression and chloroplast development in Arabidopsis.

Molecular Manipulation of MicroRNA397 Abundance Influences the Development and Salt Stress Response of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) has been used extensively as a heterologous system for molecular manipulation to genetically characterize both dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plant species. Here, we report on Arabidopsis transformant lines molecularly manipulated to over-accumulate the small regulatory RNA microRNA397 (miR397) from the emerging C4 monocotyledonous grass model species Setaria viridis (S. viridis). The generated transformant lines, termed SvMIR397 plants, displayed a range of developmental phenotypes that ranged from a mild, wild-type-like phenotype, to a severe, full dwarfism phenotype. Reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)-based profiling of the SvMIR397 transformant population revealed a strong correlation between the degree of miR397 over-accumulation, repressed LACCASE (LAC) target gene expression, reduced lignin content, and the severity of the developmental phenotype displayed by SvMIR397 transformants. Further, exposure of SvMIR397 transformants to a 7-day regime of salt stress revealed the SvMIR397 transformant lines to be more sensitive to the imposed stress than were wild-type Arabidopsis plants. Taken together, the findings reported here via the use of Arabidopsis as a heterologous system show that the S. viridis miR397 small regulatory RNA is able to repress the expression of three Arabidopsis LAC genes which led to reduced lignin content and increased salt stress sensitivity.

At5g19540 Encodes a Novel Protein That Affects Pigment Metabolism and Chloroplast Development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Chlorophylls and carotenoids not only function in photosynthesis and photoprotection but are also involved in the assembly of thylakoid membranes and the stabilization of apoproteins in photosystems. In this study, we identified a nuclear gene required for chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolism, namely, DWARF AND YELLOW 1 (DY1). Growth of the loss-of-function dy1 mutant was severely retarded, and the seedlings of this mutant accumulated significantly less amounts of both chlorophylls and carotenoids in cotyledons and rosette leaves, although genes related to pigment metabolism did not show corresponding fluctuation at the transcriptional level. In chloroplasts of the dy1 leaves, thylakoids were loosely packed into grana. The dy1 mutant also possessed severely impaired photosynthetic and photoprotective abilities. DY1 encodes a chloroplast stroma protein that is highly conserved in vascular plants. Our results demonstrated that after the full-length DY1 (53 kDa) was imported into the chloroplast and its N-terminal transit peptide was processed, the C-terminal end of this premature DY1 (42 kDa) was also removed during the maturation of rosette leaves, resulting in a 24-kDa mature peptide. Our blue native PAGE and Western blot analyses showed the presence of both premature and mature forms of DY1 in protein complexes. The involvement of DY1 in chloroplast development is discussed.

A Novel Chloroplast Protein RNA Processing 8 Is Required for the Expression of Chloroplast Genes and Chloroplast Development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Chloroplast development involves the coordinated expression of both plastids- and nuclear-encoded genes in higher plants. However, the underlying mechanism still remains largely unknown. In this study, we isolated and characterized an Arabidopsis mutant with an albino lethality phenotype named RNA processing 8 (rp8). Genetic complementation analysis demonstrated that the gene AT4G37920 (RP8) was responsible for the mutated phenotype. The RP8 gene was strongly expressed in photosynthetic tissues at both transcription and translation protein levels. The RP8 protein is localized in the chloroplast and associated with the thylakoid. Disruption of the RP8 gene led to a defect in the accumulation of the rpoA mature transcript, which reduced the level of the RpoA protein, and affected the transcription of PEP-dependent genes. The abundance of the chloroplast rRNA, including 23S, 16S, 4.5S, and 5S rRNA, were reduced in the rp8 mutant, respectively, and the amounts of chloroplast ribosome proteins, such as, PRPS1(uS1c), PRPS5(uS5c), PRPL2 (uL2c), and PRPL4 (uL4c), were substantially decreased in the rp8 mutant, which indicated that knockout of RP8 seriously affected chloroplast translational machinery. Accordingly, the accumulation of photosynthetic proteins was seriously reduced. Taken together, these results indicate that the RP8 protein plays an important regulatory role in the rpoA transcript processing, which is required for the expression of chloroplast genes and chloroplast development in Arabidopsis.

Root hair abundance impacts cadmium accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana shoots.

Project description:Background and aimsRoot hairs increase the contact area of roots with soil and thereby enhance the capacity for solute uptake. The strict hair/non-hair pattern of Arabidopsis thaliana can change with nutrient deficiency or exposure to toxic elements, which modify root hair density. The effects of root hair density on cadmium (Cd) accumulation in shoots of arabidopsis genotypes with altered root hair development and patterning were studied.MethodsArabidopsis mutants that are unable to develop root hairs (rhd6-1 and cpc/try) or produce hairy roots (wer/myb23) were compared with the ecotype Columbia (Col-0). Plants were cultivated on nutrient agar for 2 weeks with or without Cd. Cadmium was applied as Cd(NO3)2 at two concentrations, 10 and 100 µm. Shoot biomass, root characteristics (primary root length, lateral root number, lateral root length and root hair density) and Cd concentrations in shoots were assessed. Anatomical features (suberization of the endodermis and development of the xylem) that might influence Cd uptake and translocation were also examined.Key resultsCadmium inhibited plant growth and reduced root length and the number of lateral roots and root hairs per plant. Suberin lamellae in the root endodermis and xylem differentiation developed closer to the root apex in plants exposed to 100 µm Cd. The latter effect was genotype dependent. Shoot Cd accumulation was correlated with root hair abundance when plants were grown in the presence of 10 µm Cd, but not when grown in the presence of 100 µm Cd, in which treatment the development of suberin lamellae closer to the root tip appeared to restrict Cd accumulation in shoots.ConclusionsRoot hair density can have a large effect on Cd accumulation in shoots, suggesting that the symplasmic pathway might play a significant role in the uptake and accumulation of this toxic element.

The Geomagnetic Field (GMF) Modulates Nutrient Status and Lipid Metabolism during Arabidopsis thaliana Plant Development.

Project description:The Geomagnetic field (GMF) is a typical component of our planet. Plant perception of the GMF implies that any magnetic field (MF) variation would induce possible metabolic changes. In this work was we assessed the role of the GMF on Arabidopsis thaliana Col0 mineral nutrition and lipid metabolism during plant development. We reduced the local GMF (about 40 μT) to Near Null Magnetic Field (NNMF, about 30 nT) to evaluate the effects of GMF on Arabidopsis in a time-course (from rosette to seed-set) experiment by studying the lipid content (fatty acids, FA; and surface alkanes, SA) and mineral nutrients. The expression of selected genes involved in lipid metabolism was assessed by Real-Time PCR (qPCR). A progressive increase of SA with carbon numbers between 21 and 28 was found in plants exposed to NNMF from bolting to flowering developmental stages, whereas the content of some FA significantly (p < 0.05) increased in rosette, bolting and seed-set developmental stages. Variations in SA composition were correlated to the differential expression of several Arabidopsis 3-ketoacyl-CoAsynthase (KCS) genes, including KCS1, KCS5, KCS6, KCS8, and KCS12, a lipid transfer protein (LTPG1) and a lipase (LIP1). Ionomic analysis showed a significant variation in some micronutrients (Fe, Co, Mn and Ni) and macronutrients (Mg, K and Ca) during plant development of plants exposed to NNMF. The results of this work show that A. thaliana responds to variations of the GMF which are perceived as is typical of abiotic stress responses.
