Leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown in short days (8 h light) generate more reactive oxygen species in the light than leaves of plants grown in long days (16 h light). The importance of the two PsaE isoforms of photosystem I, PsaE1 and PsaE2, for O2 reduction was studied in plants grown under these different growth regimes. In short day conditions a mutant affected in the amount of PsaE1 (psae1-1) reduced more efficiently O2 than a mutant lacking PsaE2 (psae2-1) as shown by spin trapping EPR spectroscopy on leaves and by following the kinetics of P700+ reduction in isolated photosystem I. In short day conditions higher O2 reduction protected photosystem II against photoinhibition in psae1-1. In contrast in long day conditions the presence of PsaE1 was clearly beneficial for photosynthetic electron transport and for the stability of the photosynthetic apparatus under photoinhibitory conditions. We conclude that the two PsaE isoforms have distinct functions and we propose that O2 reduction at photosystem I is beneficial for the plant under certain environmental conditions. 相似文献

Electron transfer rates to P700+ have been determined in wild-type and three interposon mutants (psaE-, ndhF-, and psaE- ndhF-) of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002. All three mutants grew significantly more slowly than wild type at low light intensities, and each failed to grow photoheterotrophically in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) and a metabolizable carbon source. The kinetics of P700+ reduction were similar in the wild-type and mutant whole cells in the absence of DCMU. In the presence of DCMU, the P700+ reduction rate in the psaE mutant was significantly slower than in the wild type. In the presence of DCMU and potassium cyanide, added to inhibit the outflow of electrons through cytochrome oxidase, P700+ reduction rates increased for both the psaE- and ndhF- strains. The reduction rates for these two mutants were nonetheless slower than that observed for the wild-type strain. The further addition of methyl viologen caused the rate of P700+ reduction in the wild type to become as slow as that for the psaE mutant in the absence of methyl viologen. Given the ability of methyl viologen to intercept electrons from the acceptor side of photosystem I, this response reveals a lesion in cyclic electron flow in the psaE mutant. In the presence of DCMU, the rate of P700+ reduction in the psaE ndhF double mutant was very slow and nearly identical with that for the wild-type strain in the presence of 2,4-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone, a condition under which physiological electron donation to P700+ should be completely inhibited. These results suggest that NdhF- and PsaE-dependent electron donation to P700+ occurs only via plastoquinone and/or cytochrome b6/f and indicate that there are three major electron sources for P700+ reduction in this cyanobacterium. We conclude that, although PsaE is not required for linear electron flow to NADP+, it is an essential component in the cyclic electron transport pathway around photosystem I. 相似文献

During photosynthetic state transitions, a fraction of the major light-harvesting complex (LHCII) shuttles between photosystems II (PSII) and I (PSI), depending on whether or not it is phosphorylated. Its phosphorylation state in turn depends on the relative activity of the two photosystems, which is a function of redox state and illumination parameters. In the psae1-1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., amounts of the PSI subunits E, C, D, H and L are decreased. A fraction of LHCII is stably associated with PSI when plants are exposed to low light conditions, giving rise to a high-molecular-mass protein-pigment complex detectable in native protein gels. The formation of this abnormal LHCII-PSI complex is associated with an almost complete suppression of state transitions, a drastic increase in the levels of phosphorylated LHCII under all light regimes tested, and a permanent reduction in PSII antenna size. All these observations suggest that the altered polypeptide composition of PSI perturbs the docking of phosphorylated LHCII, making psae1-1 a unique mutant for the study of PSI-LHCII interactions and additional effects of the mutation, such as a decrease in grana stacking and increased adenylate kinase activity. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the D-subunit of photosystem I (PSI-D) is encoded by two functional genes, PsaD1 and PsaD2, which are highly homologous. Knock-out alleles for each of the loci have been identified by a combination of forward and reverse genetics. The double mutant psad1-1 psad2-1 is seedling-lethal, high-chlorophyll-fluorescent and deficient for all tested PSI subunits, indicating that PSI-D is essential for photosynthesis. In addition, psad1-1 psad2-1 plants show a defect in the accumulation of thylakoid multiprotein complexes other than PSI. Of the single-gene mutations, psad2 plants behave like wild-type (WT) plants, whereas psad1-1 markedly affects the accumulation of PsaD mRNA and protein, and photosynthetic electron flow. Additional effects of the psad1-1 mutation include a decrease in growth rate under greenhouse conditions and downregulation of the mRNA expression of most genes involved in the light phase of photosynthesis. In the same mutant, a marked decrease in the levels of PSI and PSII polypeptides is evident, as well as a light-green leaf coloration and increased photosensitivity. Increased dosage of PsaD2 in the psad1-1 background restores the WT phenotype, indicating that PSI-D1 and PSI-D2 have redundant functions. 相似文献

The chloroplast serine-threonine protein kinase STN7 of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is required for the phosphorylation of the light-harvesting system of photosystem II and for state transitions, a process that allows the photosynthetic machinery to balance the light excitation energy between photosystem II and photosystem I and thereby to optimize the photosynthetic yield. Because the STN7 protein kinase of Arabidopsis is known to be phosphorylated at four serine-threonine residues, we have changed these residues by site-directed mutagenesis to alanine (STN7-4A) or aspartic acid (STN7-4D) to assess the role of these phosphorylation events. The corresponding mutants were still able to phosphorylate the light-harvesting system of photosystem II and to perform state transitions. Moreover, we noticed a marked decrease in the level of the STN7 kinase in the wild-type strain under prolonged state 1 conditions that no longer occurs in the STN7-4D mutant. The results suggest a possible role of phosphorylation of the STN7 kinase in regulating its turnover. 相似文献

Total proteins extracted from wild-type plants of Arabidopsis thaliana Heyhn, an etiolated mutant, a de-etiolated mutant and a mutant affected in cotyledon morphology, were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Computer analysis of two-dimensional gels allowed the characterization of the mutants by a set of proteins showing a differential expression when compared with the wild-type plant grown under the same conditions. The overlap between comparisons of the diferent mutants with the wild-type allowed the identification of groups of polypeptides which, since their expression is altered in several mutants, might be involved in certain physiological functions. For example, this approach showed a possible involvement of actin in the elongation process. The simultaneous analysis of the two-dimensional protein patterns of different mutants seems, therefore, to be a promising approach to characterize proteins involved in various physiological functions.Abbreviations 2-D

The ARG1-LIKE2 gene of Arabidopsis functions in a gravity signal transduction pathway that is genetically distinct from the PGM pathway 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The arl2 mutants of Arabidopsis display altered root and hypocotyl gravitropism, whereas their inflorescence stems are fully gravitropic. Interestingly, mutant roots respond like the wild type to phytohormones and an inhibitor of polar auxin transport. Also, their cap columella cells accumulate starch similarly to wild-type cells, and mutant hypocotyls display strong phototropic responses to lateral light stimulation. The ARL2 gene encodes a DnaJ-like protein similar to ARG1, another protein previously implicated in gravity signal transduction in Arabidopsis seedlings. ARL2 is expressed at low levels in all organs of seedlings and plants. arl2-1 arg1-2 double mutant roots display kinetics of gravitropism similar to those of single mutants. However, double mutants carrying both arl2-1 and pgm-1 (a mutation in the starch-biosynthetic gene PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE) at the homozygous state display a more pronounced root gravitropic defect than the single mutants. On the other hand, seedlings with a null mutation in ARL1, a paralog of ARG1 and ARL2, behave similarly to the wild type in gravitropism and other related assays. Taken together, the results suggest that ARG1 and ARL2 function in the same gravity signal transduction pathway in the hypocotyl and root of Arabidopsis seedlings, distinct from the pathway involving PGM. 相似文献

Characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant deficient in γ-tocopherol methyltransferase 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) is synthesized from gamma-tocopherol in chloroplasts by gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase (gamma-TMT; VTE4). Leaves of many plant species including Arabidopsis contain high levels of alpha-tocopherol, but are low in gamma-tocopherol. To unravel the function of different forms of tocopherol in plants, an Arabidopsis plant (vte4-1) carrying a functional null mutation in the gene gamma-TMT was isolated by screening a mutant population via thin-layer chromatography. A second mutant allele (vte4-2) carrying a T-DNA insertion in the coding sequence of gamma-TMT was identified in a T-DNA tagged mutant population. In vte4-1 and vte4-2 leaves, high levels of gamma-tocopherol accumulated, whereas alpha-tocopherol was absent indicating that, presumably, these two mutants represents null alleles. Over-expression of the gamma-TMT cDNA in vte4-1 restored wild-type tocopherol composition. Mutant plants were very similar to wild type. During oxidative stress (high light, high temperature, cold treatment) the amounts of alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol increased in wild type, and gamma-tocopherol in vte4-1. However, chlorophyll content and photosynthetic quantum yield were very similar in wild type and vte4-1, suggesting that alpha-tocopherol can be replaced by gamma-tocopherol in vte4-1 to protect the photosynthetic apparatus against oxidative stress. Fatty acid and lipid composition were very similar in WT, vte4-1 and vte1, an Arabidopsis mutant previously isolated which is completely devoid of tocopherol. Therefore, a shift in tocopherol composition or the absence of tocopherol has no major impact on the amounts of specific fatty acids or on lipid hydrolysis. 相似文献

The regulation by light of the composition of the photosynthetic apparatus was investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. cv. Landsberg erecta. When grown in high- and low-irradiance white light, wild-type plants and photomorphogenic mutants showed large differences in their maximum photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll a/b ratios; such changes were abolished by growth in red light. Photosystem I (PSI) and PSII levels were measured in wild-type plants grown under a range of light environments; the results indicate that regulation of photosystem stoichiometry involves the specific detection of blue light. Supplementing red growth lights with low levels of blue light led to large increases in PSII content, while further increases in blue irradiance had the opposite effect; this latter response was abolished by the hy4 mutation, which affects certain events controlled by a blue-light receptor. Mutants defective in the phytochrome photoreceptors retained regulation of photosystem stoichiometry. We discuss the results in terms of two separate responses controlled by blue-light receptors: a blue-high-fluence response which controls photosystem stoichiometry; and a blue-low-fluence response necessary for activation of such control. Variation in the irradiance of the red growth light revealed that the blue-high-fluence response is attenuated by red light; this may be evidence that photosystem stoichiometry is controlled not only by photoreceptors, but also by photosynthetic metabolism.Abbreviations BHF

Reduction of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool is known to activate phosphorylation of thylakoid proteins. In the Arabidopsis thaliana mutants psad1-1 and psae1-3, oxidation of photosystem I (PSI) is impaired, and the PQ pool is correspondingly over-reduced. We show here that, under
these conditions, the antenna protein Lhca4 of PSI becomes a target for phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of the mature Lhca4
protein at Thr16 is suppressed in stn7 psad1 and stn7 psae1 double mutants. Thus, under extreme redox conditions, hyperactivation of thylakoid protein kinases and/or reorganization
of thylakoid protein complex distribution increase the susceptibility of PSI to phosphorylation.

A KAS2 cDNA complements the phenotypes of the Arabidopsis fab1 mutant that differs in a single residue bordering the substrate binding pocket 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The fab1 mutant of Arabidopsis is partially deficient in activity of beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase II (KAS II). This defect results in increased levels of 16:0 fatty acid and is associated with damage and death of the mutants at low temperature. Transformation of fab1 plants with a cDNA from Brassica napus encoding a KAS II enzyme resulted in complementation of both mutant phenotypes. The dual complementation by expression of the single gene proves that low-temperature damage is a consequence of altered membrane unsaturation. The fab1 mutation is a single nucleotide change in Arabidopsis KAS2 that results in a Leu337Phe substitution. The Leu337 residue is conserved among plant and bacterial KAS proteins, and in the crystal structures of E. coli KAS I and KAS II, this leucine abuts a phenylalanine whose imidazole ring extends into the substrate binding cavity causing the fatty acid chain to bend. For functional analysis the equivalent Leu207Phe mutation was introduced into the fabB gene encoding the E. coli KAS I enzyme. Compared to wild-type, the Leu207Phe protein showed a 10-fold decrease in binding affinity for the fatty acid substrate, exhibited a modified behavior during size-exclusion chromatography and was severely impaired in condensation activity. These results suggest that the molecular defect in fab1 plants is a structural instability of the KAS2 gene product induced by insufficient space for the imidazole ring of the mutant phenylalanine residue. 相似文献

The cruciferous plant Arabidopsis thaliana has two closely related, nonallelic tryptophan synthase beta genes (TSB1 and TSB2), each containing four introns and a chloroplast leader sequence. Both genes are transcribed, although TSB1 produces greater than 90% of tryptophan synthase beta mRNA in leaf tissue. A tryptophan-requiring mutant, trp2-1, has been identified that has about 10% of the wild-type tryptophan synthase beta activity. The trp2-1 mutation is complemented by the TSB1 transgene and is linked genetically to a polymorphism in the TSB1 gene, strongly suggesting that trp2-1 is a mutation in TSB1. The trp2-1 mutants are conditional: they require tryptophan for growth under standard illumination but not under very low light conditions. Presumably, under low light the poorly expressed gene, TSB2, is capable of supporting growth. Genetic redundancy may be common to many aromatic amino acid biosynthetic enzymes in plants because mutants defective in two other genes (TRP1 and TRP3) also exhibit a conditional tryptophan auxotrophy. The existence of two tryptophan pathways has important consequences for tissue-specific regulation of amino acid and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. 相似文献

Hcf101-1 is a high-chlorophyll-fluorescence (hcf) Arabidopsis mutant that lacks photosystem I (1). Photosystem I subunits are synthesized in the mutant but do not assemble into a stable complex. hcf101 was isolated by map-based cloning and encodes an MRP-like protein with a nucleotide-binding domain. The protein is localized in the chloroplast stroma. In green tissue, the Hcf101 level is stimulated by light, and the protein is not detectable in roots. Two independent knock-out lines, hcf101-2 and hcf101-3, are also impaired in Hcf101 accumulation, although to different extents. Like hcf101-1, hcf101-2 and hcf01-3 are hcf mutants with impaired photosystem I. Our results indicate that Hcf101 is a novel component required for photosystem I biosynthesis. 相似文献
