A specific protective mechanism against chloroplast photo-reactive oxygen species in phosphate-starved rice plants [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Phosphorus (Pi) starvation prevents a good match between light energy absorption and photosynthetic carbon metabolism. Photosynthetic electron-transport chain switches to use molecular oxygen as an electron carrier, generating photo-reactive oxygen species (photo-ROS) in chloroplast. In rice (Oryza sativa), DEEP GREEN PANICLE1 (DGP1) is robustly up-regulated in response to Pi-deficiency stress. DGP1 decreases the DNA-binding activities of the photosynthetic activators GLK1/2 on the genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis, light harvesting and electron transport. This Pi-starvation-induced mechanism dampens electron transport rates (ETRI and ETRII) and alleviates the electron-excessive stress in mesophyll cells. Meanwhile, DGP1 hijacks glycolytic enzymes GAPC1/2/3, redirecting glucose metabolism toward pentose phosphate pathway with superfluous NADPH production. Phenotypically, light irradiation induces O2– accumulation in Pi-starved WT leaves, but was observably accelerated in dgp1 mutant and impaired in GAPCsRNAi line and glk1glk2 double mutant. Interestingly, overexpression of DGP1 in rice caused hyposensitivity to the ROS-inducers (catechin and methyl viologen) and dgp1 mutant shows a similar inhibitory growth with the WT plants. We conclude that DGP1 gene serves as a specific antagonizer against Pi-starvation-induced photo-ROS, which integrates light-absorbing and anti-oxidative systems by orchestrating transcriptional and metabolic regulations, respectively.

Project description:The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii transcription factor PSR1 is required for the control of activities involved in scavenging phosphate from the environment during periods of phosphorus limitation. Increased scavenging activity reflects the development of high-affinity phosphate transport and the expression of extracellular phosphatases that can cleave phosphate from organic compounds in the environment. A comparison of gene expression patterns using microarray analyses and quantitative PCRs with wild-type and psr1 mutant cells deprived of phosphorus has revealed that PSR1 also controls genes encoding proteins with potential "electron valve" functions--these proteins can serve as alternative electron acceptors that help prevent photodamage caused by overexcitation of the photosynthetic electron transport system. In accordance with this finding, phosphorus-starved psr1 mutants die when subjected to elevated light intensities; at these intensities, the wild-type cells still exhibit rapid growth. Acclimation to phosphorus deprivation also involves a reduction in the levels of transcripts encoding proteins involved in photosynthesis and both cytoplasmic and chloroplast translation as well as an increase in the levels of transcripts encoding stress-associated chaperones and proteases. Surprisingly, phosphorus-deficient psr1 cells (but not wild-type cells) also display expression patterns associated with specific responses to sulfur deprivation, suggesting a hitherto unsuspected link between the signal transduction pathways involved in controlling phosphorus and sulfur starvation responses. Together, these results demonstrate that PSR1 is critical for the survival of cells under conditions of suboptimal phosphorus availability and that it plays a key role in controlling both scavenging responses and the ability of the cell to manage excess absorbed excitation energy.
