Effects of Mitochondrial Disturbances on Transcriptional Profile of Arabidopsis ucp double mutant plants
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Three genes encoding mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) have been described in Arabidopsis thaliana (UCP1 to UCP3). In plants, they are characterized as regulators of oxidative stress, and, for instance, much of the biological data were obtained for the UCP1 and UCP2 isoforms compared with UCP3. To gain further insights, we investigated the transcriptome profiles of ucp1 ucp3 double mutant plants during vegetative phase. We found that the double knockdown of UCP1 and UCP3 promotes important transcriptional reprogramming with clear alterations in the expression of genes related to mitochondrial and chloroplast function as well as those responsive to abiotic stress, suggesting that profound disturbances occur throughout the cell. These findings support a better elucidation for effects of UCP genes and provide insights into the role of UCP3 isoform together with UCP1 in the entire plant.
