Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase is required to establish a functional cytochrome b6/f complex

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPP) is an essential enzyme and plants lacking this enzyme are strongly compromised in chloroplast function. Our analysis of UPP amiRNA mutants has confirmed that this vital function is crucial to establish a fully functional photosynthesis as the RIESKE iron sulfur protein (PetC) is almost absent, leading to a block in photosynthetic electron transport. Interestingly, this function appears to be unrelated to nucleotide homeostasis since nucleotide levels were not altered in the studied mutants. Transcriptomics and proteomic analysis showed that protein homeostasis but not gene expression is most likely responsible for this observation and high light provoked an upregulation of protease levels, including thylakoid filamentation temperature-sensitive 1, 5 (FtsH), caseinolytic protease proteolytic subunit 1 (ClpP1), and processing peptidases, as well as components of the chloroplast protein import machinery in UPP amiRNA lines. Strongly reduced PetC amounts were not only detected by immunoblot from mature plants but in addition in a de-etiolation experiment with young seedlings and are causing reduced high light-induced non-photochemical quenching Φ(NPQ) but increased unregulated energy dissipation Φ(NO). This impaired photosynthesis results in an inability to induce flavonoid biosynthesis. In addition, the levels of the osmoprotectants raffinose, proline, and fumarate were found to be reduced. In sum, our work suggests that UPP assists in stabilization PetC during import, processing or targeting to the thylakoid membrane, or protects it against proteolytic degradation.

Photosynthesis drives pre-protein processing and progression of chloroplast biogenesis during early plant development

Project description:Photosynthetic capacity is the result of chloroplast biogenesis, but whether photosynthesis itself is required for chloroplast biogenesis has not been investigated. In this study we use 680nm red light to overexcite Photosystem II to disrupt photosynthesis in two conditional mutants (var2 and abc1k1) and demonstrate that this arrests chloroplast biogenesis. During their biogenesis, chloroplasts import the majority of proteins associated with photosynthesis and some are transported further across the thylakoid membrane by the evolutionarily conserved SEC (Secretory) and TAT (Twin Arginine Translocation) pathways, energized by ATP and the proton gradient, respectively. Most luminal thylakoid proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm with bi-partite, cleavable targeting sequences (first for the chloroplast envelope, second for the thylakoid membrane). Two-step cleavage of these peptides is essential for chloroplast biogenesis. Linked to the photosynthetic defect in var2 and abc1k1 under red light, six incompletely cleaved essential proteins at the thylakoid lumen side of Photosystems I and II accumulated to high levels in the mutants. In summary, the results show that the processing of a specific module of photosynthesis-associated proteins and concomitantly progression of chloroplast biogenesis depend on photosynthesis at the earliest stages of seedling development.

Chloroplast nucleoid is organized by membrane association of transcribed genes [ChIP]

Project description:Chloroplasts are organelles responsible for photosynthesis. They originated form a procaryotic ancestor in the process of endosymbiosis and contain their own genomes. The chloroplast genome is packaged into a chromatin-like structure known as the nucleoid. The internal arrangement of the nucleoid, molecular mechanisms of DNA packaging and connection of the nucleoid structure to gene expression remain poorly understood. We show that Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast nucleoids have a unique organization driven by DNA binding to the thylakoid membranes. Membrane association of specific DNA regions is correlated with high levels of transcription, high protein occupancy and reduced DNA accessibility. Genes with low levels of transcription are further away from the membranes, have lower protein occupancy and higher DNA accessibility. Gene-specific disruption of transcription in sigma factor mutants causes a corresponding reduction in membrane association, indicating that RNA polymerase activity causes DNA tethering to the membranes. We propose that transcription organizes the chloroplast nucleoid into a transcriptionally active membrane-associated core and a less active Periphery.

Proteomic data of MG132 treated A. thaliana WT and ppi2

Project description:A mutation in the proteasomal lid subunit Rpn8a alters proteasome composition and exerts a beneficial effect on photosynthesis. The effect is particularly visible in a double mutant between rpn8a and the plastid protein import receptor Toc159 (ppi2xrpn8a) but also in an rpn8a single mutant that shows higher PSII efficiency and lower non-photochemical quenching. The double mutant shows elevated accumulation of pigments, higher levels of thylakoid membrane proteins and higher PSII quantum yield compared to the ppi2 single mutant. While proplastid-like pro-thylakoid structures are characteristic for ppi2, stacked thylakoids are frequently observed in the double mutant. The rpn8a mutation is accompanied by higher 20S and lower 26S proteasome abundance and increased expression levels of proteolytic stress markers. Unlike known retrograde signaling chains, there is no effect on the transcription of selected photosynthesis associated nuclear encoded gens (PhanGs). Since plastid precursor protein abundance is elevated in the double mutant it is conceivable that the changes in proteasome composition affect precursor stability. We propose a model in which mild proteasome impairment shifts the equilibrium between precursor import and degradation towards import, which is especially effective in plastid protein import mutants but also detectable in the wildtype background, albeit to a much weaker extent.
