Evolution of an assembly factor-based subunit contributed to a novel NDH-PSI supercomplex formation in chloroplasts.

ABSTRACT: Chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex is structurally related to mitochondrial Complex I and forms a supercomplex with two copies of Photosystem I (the NDH-PSI supercomplex) via linker proteins Lhca5 and Lhca6. The latter was acquired relatively recently in a common ancestor of angiosperms. Here we show that NDH-dependent Cyclic Electron Flow 5 (NDF5) is an NDH assembly factor in Arabidopsis. NDF5 initiates the assembly of NDH subunits (PnsB2 and PnsB3) and Lhca6, suggesting that they form a contact site with Lhca6. Our analysis of the NDF5 ortholog in Physcomitrella and angiosperm genomes reveals the subunit PnsB2 to be newly acquired via tandem gene duplication of NDF5 at some point in the evolution of angiosperms. Another Lhca6 contact subunit, PnsB3, has evolved from a protein unrelated to NDH. The structure of the largest photosynthetic electron transport chain complex has become more complicated by acquiring novel subunits and supercomplex formation with PSI.

Accessory subunit NDUFB4 participates in mitochondrial complex I supercomplex formation.

Project description:Mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes organize into supramolecular structures called respiratory supercomplexes (SCs). The role of respiratory SCs remains largely unconfirmed despite evidence supporting their necessity for mitochondrial respiratory function. The mechanisms underlying the formation of the I1III2IV1 "respirasome" SC are also not fully understood, further limiting insights into these processes in physiology and diseases, including neurodegeneration and metabolic syndromes. NDUFB4 is a complex I accessory subunit that contains residues that interact with the subunit UQCRC1 from complex III, suggesting that NDUFB4 is integral for I1III2IV1 respirasome integrity. Here, we introduced specific point mutations to Asn24 (N24) and Arg30 (R30) residues on NDUFB4 to decipher the role of I1III2-containing respiratory SCs in cellular metabolism while minimizing the functional consequences to complex I assembly. Our results demonstrate that NDUFB4 point mutations N24A and R30A impair I1III2IV1 respirasome assembly and reduce mitochondrial respiratory flux. Steady-state metabolomics also revealed a global decrease in citric acid cycle metabolites, affecting NADH-generating substrates. Taken together, our findings highlight an integral role of NDUFB4 in respirasome assembly and demonstrate the functional significance of SCs in regulating mammalian cell bioenergetics.

PSI supercomplex copurification using PSI His-tag

Project description:Chlamydomonas reinhardtii PSI-Cyt b6f complexes from sucrose density gradient fractions were identified by western blot and SMF spectroscopy, but showed high heterogeneity, as evident from the multiple bands present in the Coomassie stained SDS gel and original EM micrographs. Therefore potential PSI-Cyt b6f supercomplexes were enriched by a subsequent PsaA HisTag purification step. Only this additional enrichment enabled the identification of novel PSI supercomplexes, although the sample remained far from being homogeneous. This dataset describes the quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of the enriched PSI supercomplex fraction in comparison to unpurified samples using metabolic 15N labeling.

PALE-GREEN LEAF 1, a rice cpSRP54 protein, is essential for the assembly of the PSI-LHCI supercomplex.

Project description:Although photosynthetic multiprotein complexes have received major attention, our knowledge about the assembly of these proteins into functional complexes in plants is still limited. In the present study, we have identified a chlorophyll-deficient mutant, pale-green leaf 1 (pgl1), in rice that displays abnormally developed chloroplasts. Map-based cloning of this gene revealed that OsPGL1 encodes a chloroplast targeted protein homologous to the 54-kDa subunit of the signal recognition particle (cpSRP54). Immunoblot analysis revealed that the accumulation of the PSI core proteins PsaA and PsaB, subunits from the ATP synthase, cytochrome, and light-harvesting complex (LHC) is dramatically reduced in pgl1. Blue native gel analysis of thylakoid membrane proteins showed the existence of an extra band in the pgl1 mutant, which located between the dimeric PSII/PSI-LHCI and the monomeric PSII. Immunodetection after 2D separation indicated that the extra band consists of the proteins from the PSI core complex. Measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence at 77 K further confirmed that PSI, rather than PSII, was primarily impaired in the pgl1 mutant. These results suggest that OsPGL1 might act as a molecular chaperone that is required for the efficient assembly and specific integration of the peripheral LHCI proteins into the PSI core complex in rice.

Topology of the plastid Ndh complex and its NDH-F subunit in thylakoid membranes.

Project description:We have investigated the topologies of Ndh (a plastid complex with NADH dehydrogenase activity) and its NDH-F subunit in thylakoids by trypsin and proteinase V8 digestion of both intact and Triton X-100-permeabilized barley thylakoids and identification of the products with antibodies against specific sequences of the NDH-A, NDH-K and NDH-F subunits. Antibody binding and protection against proteinases were also assayed. The analysis of the digestion products of NDH-F by immunodetection and matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight allowed us to propose its membrane topology and to compare it with bioinformatic predictions and with that of the homologous subunit (ND5/NuoL/NQO12) of the respiratory complex I. Results indicate that the thylakoid Ndh complex may have an L-shaped structure, similar to that of respiratory complex I, with the hydrophilic arm orientated towards the stroma and the hydrophobic arm inserted into the thylakoid. NDH-A and NDH-K may be located at the bridge between the two arms. Similar to ND5/NuoL/NQO12 of complex I, NDH-F must be distally located in the hydrophobic arm. NDH-F would include up to 15 transmembrane helices and 14 hydrophilic regions. A conserved His-349 in the X transmembrane helix could be involved in H+ pumping. The conserved Thr-181 NDH-F, whose probable phosphorylation increases the activity of the Ndh complex, is located within the hydrophilic region between the V and VI transmembrane helices.

Structural basis for energy transfer in a huge diatom PSI-FCPI supercomplex.

Project description:Diatom is an important group of marine algae and contributes to around 20% of the global photosynthetic carbon fixation. Photosystem I (PSI) of diatoms is associated with a large number of fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a/c proteins (FCPIs). We report the structure of PSI-FCPI from a diatom Chaetoceros gracilis at 2.38 Å resolution by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. PSI-FCPI is a monomeric supercomplex consisting of 12 core and 24 antenna subunits (FCPIs), and 326 chlorophylls a, 34 chlorophylls c, 102 fucoxanthins, 35 diadinoxanthins, 18 β-carotenes and some electron transfer cofactors. Two subunits designated PsaR and PsaS were found in the core, whereas several subunits were lost. The large number of pigments constitute a unique and huge network ensuring efficient energy harvesting, transfer and dissipation. These results provide a firm structural basis for unraveling the mechanisms of light-energy harvesting, transfer and quenching in the diatom PSI-FCPI, and also important clues to evolutionary changes of PSI-LHCI.

Rubisco large-subunit translation is autoregulated in response to its assembly state in tobacco chloroplasts.

Project description:Plants rely on ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) for carbon fixation. Higher plant Rubisco possesses an L(8)S(8) structure, with the large subunit (LS) encoded in the chloroplast by rbcL and the small subunit encoded by the nuclear RBCS gene family. Because its components accumulate stoichiometrically but are encoded in two genetic compartments, rbcL and RBCS expression must be tightly coordinated. Although this coordination has been observed, the underlying mechanisms have not been defined. Here, we use tobacco to understand how LS translation is related to its assembly status. To do so, two transgenic lines deficient in LS biogenesis were created: a chloroplast transformant expressing a truncated and unstable LS polypeptide, and a line where a homolog of the maize Rubisco-specific chaperone, BSD2, was repressed by RNAi. We found that in both lines, LS translation is no longer regulated by the availability of small subunit (SS), indicating that LS translation is not activated by the presence of its assembly partner but, rather, undergoes an autoregulation of translation. Pulse labeling experiments indicate that LS is synthesized but not accumulated in the transgenic lines, suggesting that accumulation of a repressor motif is required for LS assembly-dependent translational regulation.

Coi1 is a novel assembly factor of the yeast complex III-complex IV supercomplex.

Project description:The yeast bc1 complex (complex III) and cytochrome oxidase (complex IV) are mosaics of core subunits encoded by the mitochondrial genome and additional nuclear-encoded proteins imported from the cytosol. Both complexes build in the mitochondrial inner membrane various supramolecular assemblies. The formation of the individual complexes and their supercomplexes depends on the activity of dedicated assembly factors. We identified a so far uncharacterized mitochondrial protein (open reading frame YDR381C-A) as an important assembly factor for complex III, complex IV, and their supercomplexes. Therefore, we named this protein Cox interacting (Coi) 1. Deletion of COI1 results in decreased respiratory growth, reduced membrane potential, and hampered respiration, as well as slow fermentative growth at low temperature. In addition, coi1Δ cells harbour reduced steady-state levels of subunits of complexes III and IV as well as of the assembled complexes and supercomplexes. Interaction of Coi1 with respiratory chain subunits seems transient, as it appears to be a stoichiometric subunit neither of complex III nor of complex IV. Collectively, this work identifies a novel protein that plays a role in the assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

High salt-induced PSI-supercomplex is associated with high CEF and attenuation of state transitions.

Project description:While PSI-driven cyclic electron flow (CEF) and assembly of thylakoid supercomplexes have been described in model organisms like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, open questions remain regarding their contributions to survival under long-term stress. The Antarctic halophyte, C. priscuii UWO241 (UWO241), possesses constitutive high CEF rates and a stable PSI-supercomplex as a consequence of adaptation to permanent low temperatures and high salinity. To understand whether CEF represents a broader acclimation strategy to short- and long-term stress, we compared high salt acclimation between the halotolerant UWO241, the salt-sensitive model, C. reinhardtii, and a moderately halotolerant Antarctic green alga, C. sp. ICE-MDV (ICE-MDV). CEF was activated under high salt and associated with increased non-photochemical quenching in all three Chlamydomonas species. Furthermore, high salt-acclimated cells of either strain formed a PSI-supercomplex, while state transition capacity was attenuated. How the CEF-associated PSI-supercomplex interferes with state transition response is not yet known. We present a model for interaction between PSI-supercomplex formation, state transitions, and the important role of CEF for survival during long-term exposure to high salt.

Deficiency of COX7RP, a mitochondrial supercomplex assembly promoting factor, lowers blood glucose level in mice.

Project description:Mitochondria are essential organelles to efficiently produce ATP by ATP-synthase, which uses a proton-gradient generated by respiratory chain complexes. We previously demonstrated that COX7RP/COX7A2L/SCAF1 is a key molecule that promotes respiratory supercomplex assembly and regulates energy generation. The contribution of COX7RP to metabolic homeostasis, however, remains to be clarified. In the present study, we showed a metabolic phenotype of Cox7rp knockout (Cox7rpKO) mice, which exhibit lower blood glucose levels after insulin or pyruvate injection. Notably, ATP synthesis rate was reduced in Cox7rpKO mice liver, in accordance with decreased percentages of complex III subunit RISP and complex IV subunit COX1 involved in I + III + IV supercomplex fraction. The present findings suggest that COX7RP-mediated mitochondrial respiration plays crucial roles in the regulation of glucose homeostasis and its impairment will lead to the pathophysiology of metabolic states.
