Background
Etiolated seedlings initiate grana stacking and chlorophyll biosynthesis in parallel with the first exposure to light, during which phytochromes play an important role. Functional phytochromes are biosynthesized separately for two components. One phytochrome is biosynthesized for apoprotein and the other is biosynthesized for the chromophore that includes heme oxygenase (HO).Methodology/Principal Finding
We isolated a ho1 homolog by map-based cloning of a maize elongated mesocotyl2 (elm2) mutant. cDNA sequencing of the ho1 homolog in elm2 revealed a 31 bp deletion. De-etiolation responses to red and far-red light were disrupted in elm2 seedlings, with a pronounced elongation of the mesocotyl. The endogenous HO activity in the elm2 mutant decreased remarkably. Transgenic complementation further confirmed the dysfunction in the maize ho1 gene. Moreover, non-appressed thylakoids were specifically stacked at the seedling stage in the elm2 mutant.Conclusion
The 31 bp deletion in the ho1 gene resulted in a decrease in endogenous HO activity and disrupted the de-etiolation responses to red and far-red light. The specific stacking of non-appressed thylakoids suggested that the chlorophyll biosynthesis regulated by HO1 is achieved by coordinating the heme level with the regulation of grana stacking. 相似文献3.

We previously described a Brassica napus chlorophyll-deficient mutant (ygl) with yellow-green seedling leaves and mapped the related gene, BnaC.YGL, to a 0.35 cM region. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this chlorophyll defect are still unknown. In this study, the BnaC07.HO1 gene (equivalent to BnaC.YGL) was isolated by the candidate gene approach, and its function was confirmed by genetic complementation. Comparative sequencing analysis suggested that BnaC07.HO1 was lost in the mutant, while a long noncoding-RNA was inserted into the promoter of the homologous gene BnaA07.HO1. This insert was widely present in B. napus cultivars and down-regulated BnaA07.HO1 expression. BnaC07.HO1 was highly expressed in the seedling leaves and encoded heme oxygenase 1, which was localized in the chloroplast. Biochemical analysis showed that BnaC07.HO1 can catalyze heme conversion to form biliverdin IXα. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the loss of BnaC07.HO1 impaired tetrapyrrole metabolism, especially chlorophyll biosynthesis. According, the levels of chlorophyll intermediates were reduced in the ygl mutant. In addition, gene expression in multiple pathways was affected in ygl. These findings provide molecular evidences for the basis of the yellow-green leaf phenotype and further insights into the crucial role of HO1 in B. napus. 相似文献

Young Leaf Chlorosis 1, a chloroplast-localized gene required for chlorophyll and lutein accumulation during early leaf development in rice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Kunneng Zhou Yulong Ren Jia Lv Yihua Wang Feng Liu Feng Zhou Shaolu Zhao Saihua Chen Cheng Peng Xin Zhang Xiuping Guo Zhijun Cheng Jiulin Wang Fuqing Wu Ling Jiang Jianmin Wan 《Planta》2013,237(1):279-292
Chlorophyll (Chl) and lutein are the two most abundant and essential components in photosynthetic apparatus, and play critical roles in plant development. In this study, we characterized a rice mutant named young leaf chlorosis 1 (ylc1) from a 60Co-irradiated population. Young leaves of the ylc1 mutant showed decreased levels of Chl and lutein compared to those of wild type, and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the thylakoid lamellar structures were obviously loosely arranged. Whereas, the mutant turns green gradually and approaches normal green at the maximum tillering stage. The Young Leaf Chlorosis 1 (YLC1) gene was isolated via map-based cloning and identified to encode a protein of unknown function belonging to the DUF3353 superfamily. Complementation and RNA-interference tests confirmed the role of the YLC1 gene, which expressed in all tested rice tissues, especially in the leaves. Real-time PCR analyses showed that the expression levels of the genes associated with Chl biosynthesis and photosynthesis were affected in ylc1 mutant at different temperatures. In rice protoplasts, the YLC1 protein displayed a typical chloroplast location pattern. The N-terminal 50 amino acid residues were confirmed to be necessary and sufficient for chloroplast targeting. These data suggested that the YLC1 protein may be involved in Chl and lutein accumulation and chloroplast development at early leaf development in rice. 相似文献

Lateral roots (LRs) perform the essential tasks of providing water, nutrients, and physical support to plants. Therefore, understanding the regulation of LR development is of agronomic importance. Recent findings suggest that heme oxygenase (HO) plays an important role in LR development. In this study, we examined the effect of cobalt chloride (CoCl2) on LR formation and HO expression in rice. Treatment with CoCl2 induced LR formation and HO activity. We further observed that CoCl2 could induce the expression of OsHO1 but not OsHO2. CoCl2-increased HO activity occurred before LR formation. Zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX, the specific inhibitor of HO) and hemoglobin (the carbon monoxide/nitric oxide scavenger) reduced LR formation, HO activity, and OsHO1 expression. Application of biliverdin, a product of HO-catalyzed reaction, to CoCl2-treated rice seedlings reversed the ZnPPIX-inhibited LR formation and ZnPPIX-decreased HO activity. CoCl2 had no effect on H2O2 content and nitric oxide production. Moreover, application of ascorbate, a H2O2 scavenger, failed to affect CoCl2-promoted LR formation and HO activity. It is concluded that HO is required for CoCl2-promoted LR formation in rice. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of heme, a plant tetrapyrrole, was studied in the leaves of a chlorophyll-deficient plastome mutant of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L, line 2-24, albina form). In the light, the content of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in white mutant leaves was, on the average, ten times less than in that of the wild-type form (line 3629). Chlorophyll content in mutant leaves comprised only 0.3% of that of control plants. The activities of Fe-chelatase and ALA dehydratase in the heme synthesis were either comparable to or even higher than those in the wild-type leaves. A normal respiration rate in white mutant leaves, the equal content of phytochrome apoproteins in plants of both types, and the lack of noticeable morphogenetic differences realized through the phytochrome system can indicate that mutant and wild-type leaves are similar in their levels of phytochrome and the cytochromes of mitochondrial respiration. Nevertheless, in the mutant, the content of heme noncovalently bound by apoproteins amounted to only one third of its content in the wild-type plants. It seems that a dramatic decrease in the capability of white leaves for chlorophyll biosynthesis and for the formation of the photosynthetic apparatus is responsible for a low demand for chloroplast cytochromes, which is the major cause of a reduced heme content in the mutant. 相似文献

Apocynin is a natural organic compound structurally related to vanillin. We demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide and heme oxygenase participated in apocynin-induced lateral root formation in rice.Abstract
Apocynin, also known as acetovanillone, is a natural organic compound structurally related to vanillin. Information concerning the effect of apocynin on plants is limited. In this study, we examined the effect of apocynin on lateral root (LR) formation in rice. Treatment with apocynin induced LR formation and increased H2O2 production, but had no effect on nitric oxide production. Diphenyleneiodonium chloride, an inhibitor of H2O2 generating NADPH oxidase, was effective in reducing apocynin-induced H2O2 production and LR formation. Apocynin treatment also increased superoxide dismutase activity and decreased catalase activity. H2O2 application was able to increase the number of LRs. Moreover, H2O2 production caused by H2O2 and apocynin was localized in the root area corresponding to the LR emergence. Treatment with H2O2 and apocynin also increased heme oxygenase (HO) activity and induced OsHO1 mRNA expression. Lateral root formation and HO activity induced by H2O2 and apocynin were reduced by Zn protoporphyrin IX (the specific inhibitor of HO). Our data suggest that both H2O2 and HO are required for apocynin-induced LR formation in rice. 相似文献9.

The oxidative cleavage of heme by heme oxygenases (HOs) to form biliverdin IXalpha (BV) is the committed step in the biosynthesis of the phytochrome (phy) chromophore and thus essential for proper photomorphogenesis in plants. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains four possible HO genes (HY1, HO2-4). Genetic analysis of the HY1 locus showed previously that it is the major source of BV with hy1 mutant plants displaying long hypocotyls and decreased chlorophyll accumulation consistent with a substantial deficiency in photochemically active phys. More recent analysis of HO2 suggested that it also plays a role in phy assembly and photomorphogenesis but the ho2 mutant phenotype is more subtle than that of hy1 mutants. Here, we define the functions of HO3 and HO4 in Arabidopsis. Like HY1, the HO3 and HO4 proteins have the capacity to synthesize BV from heme. Through a phenotypic analysis of T-DNA insertion mutants affecting HO3 and HO4 in combination with mutants affecting HY1 or HO2, we demonstrate that both of the encoded proteins also have roles in photomorphogenesis, especially in the absence of HY1. Disruption of HO3 and HO4 in the hy1 background further desensitizes seedlings to red and far-red light and accelerates flowering time, with the triple mutant strongly resembling seedlings deficient in the synthesis of multiple phy apoproteins. The hy1/ho3/ho4 mutant can be rescued phenotypically and for the accumulation of holo-phy by feeding seedlings BV. Taken together, we conclude that multiple members of the Arabidopsis HO family are important for synthesizing the bilin chromophore used to assemble photochemically active phys. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the effect of biliverdin (BV), a product of heme oxygenase (HO) catalyzed reaction, on lateral root (LR) formation in rice. Treatment with BV induced LR formation and HO activity. As well, BV, could induce OsHO1 mRNA expression. Zn protoporphyrin IX (the specific inhibitor of HO) reduced LR number, HO activity and OsHO1 mRNA level induced by BV. Our data suggest that HO is required for BV-induced LR formation in rice. 相似文献

Regulation of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in higher plants has been attributed to negative feedback control. Two effectors of feedback inhibition have been identified, heme and the FLU protein. Inhibition by heme implicates the Fe-branch via regulation of the initial step of tetrapyrrole synthesis. In the present work a FLU-containing chloroplast membrane complex was identified, that besides FLU comprises the four enzymes catalyzing the final steps of chlorophyll synthesis. The results support the notion that FLU links chlorophyll synthesis and the target of feedback control, glutamyl-tRNA reductase, thereby allowing also the Mg-branch to control the initial step of tetrapyrrole synthesis. 相似文献

Carbon monoxide (CO) as an endogenous gaseous molecule regulates a variety of biological processes in animals. However, CO regulating nutrient stress responses in green alga is largely unknown. On the other hand, heme oxydase (HO1 as a rate-limiting enzyme of the first step for heme degration and to catalyze heme into biliverdin (BV), which is concomitant with releasing of CO and ferrous ions, probably participates in the process of CO-regulating response to nutrient stress in green alga. In this paper, we described an observation that CO could regulate iron-homeostasis in iron-starving Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Exogenous CO at 8 µM was able to prevent the iron deficient-inducing chlorosis and improve chlorophyll accumulation. Expression pattern of FOX1, FTR1 and ferredoxin was up-regulated by CO exposure in iron-deficient mediam. treatment with external CO increasing iron accumulation in iron-deficient C. reinhardtii. Moreover, to get insights into the regulatory role of HO1, we constructed a transgenic alga overexpressing HO1 and HO1 knock-out mutants. The results show that there was no significant influence on chlorosis with HO1 overexpression of C. reinhardtii under iron-deficiency and the chlorophyll accumulation, and gene expression associated with iron deficiency of mutant were greatly improved. Otherwise, those results from HO1 knock-out mutants were opposite to HO1 overexpression mutants. Finally, CO exposure induced NO accumulation in cells. However, such an action could be blocked by NO scavenger cPTIO. These results indicate that CO/HO1 may play an important role in improving green algae adaptation to iron deficiency or cross-talking with NO under the iron deficiency. 相似文献

The initiation of chloroplast development in the light is dependent on nuclear encoded components. The nuclear genes encoding key components in the photosynthetic machinery are regulated by signals originating in the plastids. These plastid signals play an essential role in the regulation of photosynthesis associated nuclear genes (PhANGs) when proplastids develop into chloroplasts. One of the plastid signals is linked to the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis and accumulation of the intermediates the Mg-ProtoIX and its methyl ester Mg-ProtoIX-ME. Phytochrome-Associated Protein Phosphatase 5 (PAPP5) was isolated in a previous study as a putative Mg-ProtoIX interacting protein. In order to elucidate if there is a biological link between PAPP5 and the tetrapyrrole mediated signal we generated double mutants between the Arabidopsis papp5 and the crd mutants. The crd mutant over-accumulates Mg-ProtoIX and Mg-ProtoIX-ME and the tetrapyrrole accumulation triggers retrograde signalling. The crd mutant exhibits repression of PhANG expression, altered chloroplast morphology and a pale phenotype. However, in the papp5crd double mutant, the crd phenotype is restored and papp5crd accumulated wild type levels of chlorophyll, developed proper chloroplasts and showed normal induction of PhANG expression in response to light. Tetrapyrrole feeding experiments showed that PAPP5 is required to respond correctly to accumulation of tetrapyrroles in the cell and that PAPP5 is most likely a component in the plastid signalling pathway down stream of the tetrapyrrole Mg-ProtoIX/Mg-ProtoIX-ME. Inhibition of phosphatase activity phenocopied the papp5crd phenotype in the crd single mutant demonstrating that PAPP5 phosphatase activity is essential to mediate the retrograde signal and to suppress PhANG expression in the crd mutant. Thus, our results suggest that PAPP5 receives an inbalance in the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis through the accumulation of Mg-ProtoIX and acts as a negative regulator of PhANG expression during chloroplast biogenesis and development. 相似文献

5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthesis has been shown to be the rate limiting step of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis. Glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) is the first committed enzyme of plant ALA synthesis and is controlled by interacting regulators, such as heme and the FLU protein. Induced inactivation of the HEMA1 gene encoding GluTR by RNAi expression in tobacco resulted in a reduced activity of Mg chelatase and Fe chelatase indicating a feed-forward regulatory mechanism that links ALA synthesis posttranslationally with late enzymes of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (Hedtke et al., 2007). Here, the regulatory impact of GluTR was investigated by overexpression of AtHEMA1 in Arabidopsis and tobacco plants. Light-dependent ALA synthesis cannot benefit from an up to 7-fold induced expression of GluTR in Arabidopsis. While constitutive AtHEMA1 overexpression in tobacco stimulates ALA synthesis by 50-90% during light-exposed growth of seedlings, no increase in heme and chlorophyll contents is observed. HEMA1 overexpression in etiolated and dark-grown Arabidopsis and tobacco seedlings leads to additional accumulation of protochlorophyllide. As excessive accumulation of GluTR does not correlate with increased ALA formation, it is hypothesized that ALA synthesis is additionally limited by other effectors that balance the allocation of ALA with the activity of enzymes of chlorophyll and heme biosynthesis. 相似文献

Background
We have studied the impact of carbohydrate-starvation on the acclimation response to high light using Arabidopsis thaliana double mutants strongly impaired in the day- and night path of photoassimilate export from the chloroplast. A complete knock-out mutant of the triose phosphate/phosphate translocator (TPT; tpt-2 mutant) was crossed to mutants defective in (i) starch biosynthesis (adg1-1, pgm1 and pgi1-1; knock-outs of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, plastidial phosphoglucomutase and phosphoglucose isomerase) or (ii) starch mobilization (sex1-3, knock-out of glucan water dikinase) as well as in (iii) maltose export from the chloroplast (mex1-2).Results
All double mutants were viable and indistinguishable from the wild type when grown under low light conditions, but - except for sex1-3/tpt-2 - developed a high chlorophyll fluorescence (HCF) phenotype and growth retardation when grown in high light. Immunoblots of thylakoid proteins, Blue-Native gel electrophoresis and chlorophyll fluorescence emission analyses at 77 Kelvin with the adg1-1/tpt-2 double mutant revealed that HCF was linked to a specific decrease in plastome-encoded core proteins of both photosystems (with the exception of the PSII component cytochrome b559), whereas nuclear-encoded antennae (LHCs) accumulated normally, but were predominantly not attached to their photosystems. Uncoupled antennae are the major cause for HCF of dark-adapted plants. Feeding of sucrose or glucose to high light-grown adg1-1/tpt-2 plants rescued the HCF- and growth phenotypes. Elevated sugar levels induce the expression of the glucose-6-phosphate/phosphate translocator2 (GPT2), which in principle could compensate for the deficiency in the TPT. A triple mutant with an additional defect in GPT2 (adg1-1/tpt-2/gpt2-1) exhibited an identical rescue of the HCF- and growth phenotype in response to sugar feeding as the adg1-1/tpt-2 double mutant, indicating that this rescue is independent from the sugar-triggered induction of GPT2.Conclusions
We propose that cytosolic carbohydrate availability modulates acclimation to high light in A. thaliana. It is conceivable that the strong relationship between the chloroplast and nucleus with respect to a co-ordinated expression of photosynthesis genes is modified in carbohydrate-starved plants. Hence carbohydrates may be considered as a novel component involved in chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling, an aspect that will be addressed in future studies. 相似文献19.
Green-revertible Chlorina 1 (grc1) is required for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and the early development of chloroplasts in rice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The nuclear genes involved in chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis must be investigated to understand their functions in plant growth and development. In this study, we isolated and identified a unique leaf-color mutant of rice with a green-yellow phenotype before the four-leaf stage and named the mutation green-revertible chlorina 1 (grc1). The mutants had significantly lower plant height, number of tillers, and panicle length and headed significantly earlier than the wild type. The levels of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and chlorophyll precursors were also lower. The mutation in grc1 affected chloroplast ultrastructure, particularly thylakoid development. Genetic analysis indicated that the green-yellow phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene. We mapped the grc1 gene to a 32.4-kb region on the long arm of chromosome 6. Through map-based cloning, we identified a 45-bp insertion in the genomic region of LOC_Os06g40080, which encoded a heme oxygenase. Expression of LOC_Os06g40080 was significantly down-regulated in the grc1 mutant. Subcellular localization showed that this heme oxygenase was localized in the chloroplast. In summary, we isolated and identified the gene for grc1, which plays an important role in chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development in rice. 相似文献

The biogenesis and function of chloroplast are controlled both by anterograde mechanisms involving nuclear-encoded proteins targeted to chloroplast and by retrograde signals from plastid to nucleus contributing to regulation of nuclear gene expression. A number of experimental evidences support the implication of chlorophyll biosynthesis intermediates on the retrograde signaling, albeit an earlier-postulated direct link between accumulation of chlorophyll intermediates and changes in nuclear gene expression has recently been challenged. By characterization of Arabidopsis mutants lacking the chloroplast localized NADPH-thioredoxin reductase (NTRC) we have recently proposed that imbalanced activity of chlorophyll biosynthesis in developing cells modifies the chloroplast signals leading to alterations in nuclear gene expression. These signals appear to initiate from temporal perturbations in the flux through the pathway from protoporphyrin to protochlorophyllide rather than from the accumulation of a single intermediate of the tetrapyr-role pathway.Key words: chloroplast biogenesis, NADPH-thioredoxin reductase, porphyrins, ROS, signaling, tetrapyrrole, thioredoxinOrchestrated regulation of gene expression in the nucleus and plastids is crucial for the proper biogenesis of the organelle during the development and for the acclimation of plants to environmental cues. Multiple potential candidates for initiating plastidial signals have been recognized, including intermediates of the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway, redox state of chloroplast electron transfer components and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These multiple signaling pathways are likely to interact with each others, resulting in a complex signaling network between plastid and nucleus (reviewed in ref. 1). 相似文献
