Abstract
Protein disulphide-dithiol interchange is a universal mechanism of redox regulation in which thioredoxins (Trxs) play an essential role. In heterotrophic organisms, and non-photosynthetic plant organs, NADPH provides the required reducing power in a reaction catalysed by NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTR). It has been considered that chloroplasts constitute an exception because reducing equivalents for redox regulation in this organelle is provided by ferredoxin (Fd) reduced by the photosynthetic electron transport chain, not by NADPH. This view was modified by the discovery of a chloroplast-localised NTR, denoted NTRC, a bimodular enzyme formed by NTR and Trx domains with high affinity for NADPH. In this review, we will summarize the present knowledge of the biochemical properties of NTRC and discuss the implications of this enzyme on plastid redox regulation in plants.

Abstract
Specialization of the mitochondrial proteome in Arabidopsis has the potential to underlie the roles of these organelles at different developmental time points and in specific organs; however, most research to date has been limited to studies of mitochondrial composition from a few vegetative tissue types. To provide further insight into the extent of mitochondrial heterogeneity in Arabidopsis, mitochondria isolated from six organ/cell types, leaf, root, cell culture, flower, bolt stem, and silique, were analyzed. Of the 286 protein spots on a 2-D gel of the mitochondrial proteome, the abundance of 237 spots was significantly varied between different samples. Identification of these spots revealed a nonredundant set of 83 proteins which were differentially expressed between organ/cell types, and the protein identification information can be analyzed in an integrated manner in an interactive fashion online. A number of mitochondrial protein spots were identified as being derived from the same genes in Arabidopsis but differed in their pI, indicating organ-specific variation in the post-translational modifications, or in their MW, suggesting differences in truncated mitochondrial products accumulating in different tissues. Comparisons of the proteomic data for the major isoforms with microarray analysis showed a positive correlation between mRNA and mitochondrial protein abundance and 60-90% concordance between changes in protein and transcript abundance. These analyses demonstrate that, while mitochondrial proteins are controlled transcriptionally by the nucleus, post-transcriptional regulation and/or post-translational modifications play a vital role in modulating the state or regulation of proteins in key biochemical pathways in plant mitochondria for specific functions. The integration of protein abundance and protein modification data with respiratory measurements, enzyme assays, and transcript data sets has allowed the identification of organ-enhanced differences in central carbon and amino acid metabolism pathways and provides ranked lists of mitochondrial proteins that are strongly transcriptionally regulated vs those whose abundance or activity is strongly influenced by a variety of post-transcriptional processes.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs), thioredoxins (Trxs), and NADPH-thioredoxin reductases (NTRs) constitute central elements of the thiol-disulfide redox regulatory network of plant cells. This study provides a comprehensive survey of this network in the model legume Lotus japonicus. The aims were to identify and characterize these gene families and to assess whether the NTR-Trx systems are operative in nodules. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunological and proteomic approaches were used for expression profiling. We identified seven Prx, 14 Trx, and three NTR functional genes. The PrxQ1 gene was found to be transcribed in two alternative spliced variants and to be expressed at high levels in leaves, stems, petals, pods, and seeds and at low levels in roots and nodules. The 1CPrx gene showed very high expression in the seed embryos and low expression in vegetative tissues and was induced by nitric oxide and cytokinins. In sharp contrast, cytokinins down-regulated all other Prx genes, except PrxQ1, in roots and nodules, but only 2CPrxA and PrxQ1 in leaves. Gene-specific changes in Prx expression were also observed in response to ethylene, abscisic acid, and auxins. Nodules contain significant mRNA and protein amounts of cytosolic PrxIIB, Trxh1, and NTRA and of plastidic NTRC. Likewise, they express cytosolic Trxh3, Trxh4, Trxh8, and Trxh9, mitochondrial PrxIIF and Trxo, and plastidic Trxm2, Trxm4, and ferredoxin-Trx reductase. These findings reveal a complex regulation of Prxs that is dependent on the isoform, tissue, and signaling molecule and support that redox NTR-Trx systems are functional in the cytosol, mitochondria, and plastids of nodules.

Abstract
Thioredoxins (Trxs) h, small disulfide reductases, and NADP-thioredoxin reductases (NTRs) have been shown to accumulate in seeds of different plant species and play important roles in seed physiology. However, little is known about the identity, properties, and subcellular location of Trx h isoforms that are abundant in legume seeds. To fill this gap, in this work, we characterized the Trx h family of Medicago truncatula, a model legume, and then explored the activity and localization of Trx h isoforms accumulating in seeds. Twelve Trx h isoforms were identified in M. truncatula. They belong to the groups previously described: h1 to h3 (group I), h4 to h7 (group II), and h8 to h12 (group III). Isoforms of groups I and II were found to be reduced by M. truncatula NTRA, but with different efficiencies, Trxs of group II being more efficiently reduced than Trxs of group I. In contrast, their insulin disulfide-reducing activity varies greatly and independently of the group to which they belong. Furthermore, Trxs h1, h2, and h6 were found to be present in dry and germinating seeds. Trxs h1 and, to a lesser extent, h2 are abundant in both embryonic axes and cotyledons, while Trx h6 is mainly present in cotyledons. Thus, M. truncatula seeds contain distinct isoforms of Trx h that differ in spatial distribution and kinetic properties, suggesting that they play different roles. Because we show that Trx h6 is targeted to the tonoplast, the possible role of this isoform during germination is finally discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an essential role in producing the energy required for seedling growth following imbibition. Heavy metals, such as cadmium impair mitochondrial functioning in part by altering redox regulation. The activities of two protein redox systems present in mitochondria, thioredoxin (Trx) and glutaredoxin (Grx), were analysed in the cotyledons and embryo of pea (Pisum sativum L.) germinating seeds exposed to toxic Cd concentration. Compared to controls, Cd-treated germinating seeds showed a decrease in total soluble protein content, but an increase in -SH content. Under Cd stress conditions, Grx and glutathione reductase (GR) activities as well as glutathione (GSH) concentrations decreased both in cotyledons and the embryo. Similar results were obtained with the Trx system: Trx and NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTR) activities were not stimulated, whereas total NAD(P) contents diminished in the embryo. However, Cd enhanced the levels of all components of the Trx system in the cotyledons. On the other hand, Cd caused a significant increase in oxidative stress parameters such as the redox ratio of coenzymes (oxidized to reduced forms) and NAD(P)H oxidase activities. These results indicate that Cd induces differential redox responses on different seed tissues. We suggest that neither Grx system nor Trx one may improve the redox status of mitochondrial thiols in the embryo of germinating pea seeds exposed to Cd toxicity, but in the cotyledons the contribution of Trx/NTR/NADPH can be established in despite the vulnerability of the coenzyme pools due to enzymatic oxidation.

Abstract
Chlorophyll captures and redirects light-energy and is thus essential for photosynthetic organisms. The demand for chlorophyll differs throughout the day and night and in response to changing light conditions. Moreover, the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway is up to certain points shared between the different tetrapyrroles; chlorophyll, heme, siroheme and phytochromobilin, for which the cell has different requirements at different time points. Combined with the phototoxic properties of tetrapyrroles which, if not properly protected, can lead to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the need for a strict regulation of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway is obvious. Here we describe the current knowledge on regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis in plants by the chloroplast redox state with emphasis on the Mg-chelatase situated at the branch point between the heme and the chlorophyll pathway. We discuss the proposed role of the Mg-chelatase as a key regulator of the tetrapyrrole pathway by its effect on enzymes both up- and downstream in the pathway and we specifically describe how redox state might regulate the Mg-branch. Finally, we propose that a recently identified NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTRC) could be involved in redox regulation or protection of chlorophyll biosynthetic enzymes and describe the possible modes of action by this enzyme.

Abstract
The post-translational modification consisting in the formation/reduction of disulfide bonds has been the subject of intense research in plants since the discovery in the 1970s that many chloroplastic enzymes are regulated by light through dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions catalyzed by oxidoreductases called thioredoxins (Trxs). Further biochemical and proteomic studies have considerably increased the number of target enzymes and processes regulated by these mechanisms in many sub-cellular compartments. Recently, glutathionylation, a modification consisting in the reversible formation of a glutathione adduct on cysteine residues, was proposed as an alternative redox regulation mechanism. Glutaredoxins (Grxs), proteins related to Trxs, are efficient catalysts for deglutathionylation, the opposite reaction. Hence, the Trxs- and Grxs-dependent pathways might constitute complementary and not only redundant regulatory processes. This article focuses on these two multigenic families and associated protein partners in poplar and on their involvement in the regulation of some major chloroplastic processes such as stress response, carbohydrate and heme/chlorophyll metabolism.

Abstract
Intracellular redox status is a critical parameter determining plant development in response to biotic and abiotic stress. Thioredoxin (TRX) and glutathione are key regulators of redox homeostasis, and the TRX and glutathione pathways are essential for postembryonic meristematic activities. Here, we show by associating TRX reductases (ntra ntrb) and glutathione biosynthesis (cad2) mutations that these two thiol reduction pathways interfere with developmental processes through modulation of auxin signaling. The triple ntra ntrb cad2 mutant develops normally at the rosette stage, undergoes the floral transition, but produces almost naked stems, reminiscent of the phenotype of several mutants affected in auxin transport or biosynthesis. In addition, the ntra ntrb cad2 mutant shows a loss of apical dominance, vasculature defects, and reduced secondary root production, several phenotypes tightly regulated by auxin. We further show that auxin transport capacities and auxin levels are perturbed in the mutant, suggesting that the NTR-glutathione pathways alter both auxin transport and metabolism. Analysis of ntr and glutathione biosynthesis mutants suggests that glutathione homeostasis plays a major role in auxin transport as both NTR and glutathione pathways are involved in auxin homeostasis.

Abstract
Cytosolic thioredoxins are small conserved proteins that are involved in cellular redox regulation. Here, we report that a major and cold-induced thioredoxin h of rice, OsTrx23, has an inhibitory activity on stress-activated mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), OsMPK3 and OsMPK6 in vitro. This inhibition effects were redox-dependent and did not involve stable physical interaction. The data suggested a novel mechanism for redox regulation of MAPKs in plants.

Abstract
Tight control of cellular redox homeostasis is essential for protection against oxidative damage and for maintenance of normal metabolism as well as redox signaling events. Under oxidative stress conditions, the tripeptide glutathione can switch from its reduced form (GSH) to oxidized glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and thus, forms an important cellular redox buffer. GSSG is normally reduced to GSH by 2 glutathione reductase (GR) isoforms encoded in the Arabidopsis genome, cytosolic GR1 and GR2 dual-targeted to chloroplasts and mitochondria. Measurements of total GR activity in leaf extracts of wild-type and 2 gr1 deletion mutants revealed that approximately 65% of the total GR activity is attributed to GR1, whereas approximately 35% is contributed by GR2. Despite the lack of a large share in total GR activity, gr1 mutants do not show any informative phenotype, even under stress conditions, and thus, the physiological impact of GR1 remains obscure. To elucidate its role in plants, glutathione-specific redox-sensitive GFP was used to dynamically measure the glutathione redox potential (E(GSH)) in the cytosol. Using this tool, it is shown that E(GSH) in gr1 mutants is significantly shifted toward more oxidizing conditions. Surprisingly, dynamic reduction of GSSG formed during induced oxidative stress in gr1 mutants is still possible, although significantly delayed compared with wild-type plants. We infer that there is functional redundancy in this critical pathway. Integrated biochemical and genetic assays identify the NADPH-dependent thioredoxin system as a backup system for GR1. Deletion of both, NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase A and GR1, prevents survival due to a pollen lethal phenotype.

Abstract
Thioredoxins (Trx) are ubiquitous proteins that participate in thiol disulfide reactions via two active site cysteine residues, allowing Trx to reduce disulfide bonds in target proteins. Recent progress in proteome analysis has resulted in identification of a wide range of potential target proteins for Trx, indicating that Trx plays a key role in several aspects of cell metabolism. In contrast to other organisms, plants contain multiple forms of Trx that are classified based on their primary structures and sub-cellular localization. The reduction of cytosolic and mitochondrial types of Trx is dependent on NADPH and catalyzed by NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTR). In barley, two isoforms each of Trx and NTR have been identified and investigated using proteomics, gene expression, and structural studies. This review outlines the diverse roles suggested for cytosolic/mitochondrial-type Trx systems in cereal seeds and summarizes the current knowledge of the barley system including recent data on function, regulation, interactions, and structure. Directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract
NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductases (NTRs) are key regulatory enzymes determining the redox state of thioredoxins. There are two genes encoding NTRs (NTRA and NTRB) in the Arabidopsis genome, each encoding a cytosolic and a mitochondrial isoform. A double ntra ntrb mutant has recently been characterized and shows slower plant growth, slightly wrinkled seeds and a remarkable hypersensitivity to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of glutathione biosynthesis. In this paper, we demonstrate that this mutant also accumulates higher level of flavonoids. Analysis of transcriptome data showed that several genes of the flavonoid pathway are overexpressed in the ntra ntrb mutant. Accumulation of flavonoids is generally considered a hallmark of plant stress. Nevertheless, no elevation of the expression of genes encoding ROS-detoxification enzymes was observed, suggesting that the ntra ntrb plants do not suffer from oxidative disease. Another hypothesis suggests that flavonoids are specifically synthesized in the ntra ntrb mutant in order to rescue the inactivation of NTR. To test this, the ntra ntrb mutant was crossed with transparent testa 4 (tt4) plants with a mutation in the gene encoding the first enzyme in flavonoid biosynthesis. As ntra ntrb plants are more resistant to UV-C treatment than wild-type plants, this higher resistance was abolished in the ntra ntrb tt4 mutant, suggesting that accumulation of flavonoids in the ntra ntrb mutant protects plants against UV-light.

Abstract
The recent genome sequencing of Populus trichocarpa and Vitis vinifera, two models of woody plants, of Sorghum bicolor, a model of monocot using C4 metabolism, and of the moss Physcomitrella patens, together with the availability of photosynthetic organism genomes allows performance of a comparative genomic study with organisms having different ways of life, reproduction modes, biological traits, and physiologies. Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small ubiquitous proteins involved in the reduction of disulfide bridges in a variety of target enzymes present in all sub-cellular compartments and involved in many biochemical reactions. The genes coding for these enzymes have been identified in these newly sequenced genomes and annotated. The gene content, organization and distribution were compared to other photosynthetic organisms, leading to a refined classification. This analysis revealed that higher plants and bryophytes have a more complex family compared to algae and cyanobacteria and to non-photosynthetic organisms, since poplar exhibits 49 genes coding for typical and atypical thioredoxins and thioredoxin reductases, namely one-third more than monocots such as Oryza sativa and S. bicolor. The higher number of Trxs in poplar is partially explained by gene duplication in the Trx m, h, and nucleoredoxin classes. Particular attention was paid to poplar genes with emphasis on Trx-like classes called Clot, thioredoxin-like, thioredoxins of the lilium type and nucleoredoxins, which were not described in depth in previous genomic studies.

Abstract
Cereal seed cells contain different mechanisms for protection against the oxidative stress that occurs during maturation and germination. One such mechanism is based on the antioxidant activity of a 1-Cys peroxiredoxin (1-Cys Prx) localized in the nuclei of aleurone and scutellum cells. However, nothing is known about the mechanism of activation of this enzyme. Here, we describe the pattern of localization of NADPH thioredoxin reductase (NTR) in developing and germinating wheat seeds using an immunocytochemical analysis. The presence of NTR in transfer cells, vascular tissue, developing embryo and root meristematic cells, agrees with the localization of thioredoxin h (Trx h), and supports the important function of the NTR/Trx system in cell proliferation and communication. Interestingly, NTR is found in the nuclei of seed cells suffering oxidative stress, thus showing co-localization with Trx h and 1-Cys Prx. To test whether the NTR/Trx system serves as a reductant of the 1-Cys Prx, we cloned a full-length cDNA encoding 1-Cys Prx from wheat, and expressed the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. Using the purified components, we show NTR-dependent activity of the 1-Cys Prx. Mutants of the 1-Cys Prx allowed us to demonstrate that the peroxidatic residue of the wheat enzyme is Cys46, which is overoxidized in vitro under oxidant conditions. Analysis of extracts from developing and germinating seeds confirmed 1-Cys Prx overoxidation in vivo. Based on these results, we propose that NADPH is the source of the reducing power to regenerate 1-Cys Prx in the nuclei of seed cells suffering oxidative stress, in a process that is catalyzed by NTR.

Abstract
Most organisms use two systems to maintain the redox homeostasis of cellular thiols. In the thioredoxin (Trx) system, NADPH sequentially reduces thioredoxin reductases (NTR), Trxs and protein disulfides. In the glutaredoxin (Grx) system, NADPH reduces the glutathione reductase enzyme occurring in most organisms, glutathione, Grxs, and protein disulfides or glutathione-protein mixed disulfides. As little is known concerning these enzymes in cyanobacteria, we have undertaken their analysis in the model strain Synechocystis PCC6803. We found that Grx1 and Grx2 are active, and that Grx2 but not Grx1 is crucial to tolerance to hydrogen peroxide and selenate. We also found that Synechocystis has no genuine glutathione reductase and uses NTR as a Grx electron donor, in a novel integrative pathway NADPH-NTR-Grx1-Grx2-Fed7 (ferredoxin 7), which operates in protection against selenate, the predominant form of selenium in the environment. This is the first report on the occurrence of a physical interaction between a Grx and a Fed, and of an electron transfer between two Grxs. These findings are discussed in terms of the (i) selectivity of Grxs and Feds (Synechocystis possesses nine Feds), (ii) crucial importance of NTR for cell fitness and (iii) resistance to selenate, in absence of a Thauera selenatis-like selenate reductase.

Abstract
Despite being the primary source of energy in the biosphere, photosynthesis is a process that inevitably produces reactive oxygen species. Chloroplasts are a major source of hydrogen peroxide production in plant cells; therefore, different systems for peroxide reduction, such as ascorbate peroxidase and peroxiredoxins (Prxs), are found in this organelle. Most of the reducing power required for hydrogen peroxide reduction by these systems is provided by Fd reduced by the photosynthetic electron transport chain; hence, the function of these systems is highly dependent on light. Recently, it was described a novel plastidial enzyme, stated NTRC, formed by a thioredoxin reductase (NTR) domain at the N-terminus and a thioredoxin (Trx) domain at the C-terminus. NTRC is able to conjugate both NTR and Trx activities to efficiently reduce 2-Cys Prx using NADPH as a source of reducing power. Based on these results, it was proposed that NTRC is a new pathway to transfer reducing power to the chloroplast detoxification system, allowing the use of NADPH, besides reduced Fd, for such function. In this article, the most important features of NTRC are summarized and the implications of this novel activity in the context of chloroplast protection against oxidative damage are discussed.

Abstract
Sequencing of the Laccaria bicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium genomes, together with the availability of many fungal genomes, allow careful comparison to be made of these two basidiomycetes, which possess a different way of life (either symbiotic or saprophytic), with other fungi. Central to the antioxidant systems are superoxide dismutases, catalases and thiol-dependent peroxidases (Tpx). The two reducing systems (thioredoxin (Trx) and glutathione/glutaredoxin (Grx)) are of particular importance against oxidative insults, both for detoxification, through the regeneration of thiol-peroxidases, and for developmental, physiological and signalling processes. Among those thiol-dependent antioxidant systems, special emphasis is given to the redoxin and methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) multigenic families. The genes coding for these enzymes were identified in the L. bicolor and P. chrysosporium genomes, were correctly annotated, and the gene content, organization and distribution were compared with other fungi. Expression of the Laccaria genes was also compiled from microarray data. A complete classification, based essentially on gene structure, on phylogenetic and sequence analysis, and on existing experimental data, was proposed. Comparison of the gene content of fungi from all phyla did not show huge differences for multigenic families in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification network, although some protein subgroups were absent in some fungi.

Abstract
Plants are the organisms containing the most complex multigenic family for thioredoxins (TRX). Several types of TRXs are targeted to chloroplasts, which have been classified into four subgroups: m, f, x, and y. Among them, TRXs f and m were the first plastidial TRXs characterized, and their function as redox modulators of enzymes involved in carbon assimilation in the chloroplast has been well-established. Both TRXs, f and m, were named according to their ability to reduce plastidial fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), respectively. Evidence is presented here based on the immunocytochemistry of the localization of f and m-type TRXs from Pisum sativum in non-photosynthetic tissues. Both TRXs showed a different spatial pattern. Whilst PsTRXm was localized to vascular tissues of all the organs analysed (leaves, stems, and roots), PsTRXf was localized to more specific cells next to xylem vessels and vascular cambium. Heterologous complementation analysis of the yeast mutant EMY63, deficient in both yeast TRXs, by the pea plastidial TRXs suggests that PsTRXm, but not PsTRXf, is involved in the mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification. In agreement with this function, the PsTRXm gene was induced in roots of pea plants in response to hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
The NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTR)/thioredoxin (Trx) system catalyzes disulfide bond reduction in the cytoplasm and mitochondrion. Trx h is suggested to play an important role in seed development, germination, and seedling growth. Plants have multiple isoforms of Trx h and NTR; however, little is known about the roles of the individual isoforms. Trx h isoforms from barley (Hordeum vulgare) seeds (HvTrxh1 and HvTrxh2) were characterized previously. In this study, two NTR isoforms (HvNTR1 and HvNTR2) were identified, enabling comparison of gene expression, protein appearance, and interaction between individual NTR and Trx h isoforms in barley embryo and aleurone layers. Although mRNA encoding both Trx h isoforms is present in embryo and aleurone layers, the corresponding proteins differed in spatiotemporal appearance. HvNTR2, but not HvNTR1, gene expression seems to be regulated by gibberellic acid. Recombinant HvNTR1 and HvNTR2 exhibited virtually the same affinity toward HvTrxh1 and HvTrxh2, whereas HvNTR2 has slightly higher catalytic activity than HvNTR1 with both Trx h isoforms, and HvNTR1 has slightly higher catalytic activity toward HvTrxh1 than HvTrxh2. Notably, both NTRs reduced Trx h at the acidic conditions residing in the starchy endosperm during germination. Interspecies reactions between the barley proteins and Escherichia coli Trx or Arabidopsis thaliana NTR, respectively, occurred with 20- to 90-fold weaker affinity. This first investigation of regulation and interactions between members of the NTR/Trx system in barley seed tissues suggests that different isoforms are differentially regulated but may have overlapping roles, with HvNTR2 and HvTrxh1 being the predominant isoforms in the aleurone layer.

Abstract
NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductases (NTRs) are key regulatory enzymes determining the redox state of the thioredoxin system. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome has two genes coding for NTRs (NTRA and NTRB), both of which encode mitochondrial and cytosolic isoforms. Surprisingly, plants of the ntra ntrb knockout mutant are viable and fertile, although with a wrinkled seed phenotype, slower plant growth, and pollen with reduced fitness. Thus, in contrast with mammals, our data demonstrate that neither cytosolic nor mitochondrial NTRs are essential in plants. Nevertheless, in the double mutant, the cytosolic thioredoxin h3 is only partially oxidized, suggesting an alternative mechanism for thioredoxin reduction. Plant growth in ntra ntrb plants is hypersensitive to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of glutathione biosynthesis, and thioredoxin h3 is totally oxidized under this treatment. Interestingly, this BSO-mediated growth arrest is fully reversible, suggesting that BSO induces a growth arrest signal but not a toxic accumulation of activated oxygen species. Moreover, crossing ntra ntrb with rootmeristemless1, a mutant blocked in root growth due to strongly reduced glutathione synthesis, led to complete inhibition of both shoot and root growth, indicating that either the NTR or the glutathione pathway is required for postembryonic activity in the apical meristem.

Abstract
Thioredoxins (TRXs) are small disulfide oxidoreductases of ca. 12 kDa found in all free living organisms. In plants, two chloroplastic TRXs, named TRX f and TRX m, were originally identified as light dependent regulators of several carbon metabolism enzymes including Calvin cycle enzymes. The availability of genome sequences revealed an unsuspected multiplicity of TRXs in photosynthetic eukaryotes, including new chloroplastic TRX types. Moreover, proteomic approaches and focused studies allowed identification of 90 potential chloroplastic TRX targets. Lately, recent studies suggest the existence of a complex interplay between TRXs and other redox regulators such as glutaredoxins (GRXs) or glutathione. The latter is involved in a post-translational modification, named glutathionylation that could be controlled by GRXs. Glutathionylation appears to specifically affect the activity of TRX f and other chloroplastic enzymes and could thereby constitute a previously undescribed regulatory mechanism of photosynthetic metabolism under oxidative stress. After summarizing the initial studies on TRX f and TRX m, this review will focus on the most recent developments with special emphasis on the contributions of genomics and proteomics to the field of TRXs. Finally, new emerging interactions with other redox signaling pathways and perspectives for future studies will also be discussed.

Abstract
The fungus Cochliobolus victoriae causes Victoria blight of oats (Avena sativa) and is pathogenic due to its production of victorin, which induces programmed cell death in sensitive plants. Victorin sensitivity has been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana and is conferred by the dominant gene LOCUS ORCHESTRATING VICTORIN EFFECTS1 (LOV1), which encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide binding site-leucine-rich repeat protein. We isolated 63 victorin-insensitive mutants, including 59 lov1 mutants and four locus of insensitivity to victorin1 (liv1) mutants. The LIV1 gene encodes thioredoxin h5 (ATTRX5), a member of a large family of disulfide oxidoreductases. To date, very few plant thioredoxins have been assigned specific, nonredundant functions. We found that the victorin response was highly specific to ATTRX5, as the closely related ATTRX3 could only partially compensate for loss of ATTRX5, even when overexpressed. We also created chimeric ATTRX5/ATTRX3 proteins, which identified the central portion of the protein as important for conferring specificity to ATTRX5. Furthermore, we found that ATTRX5, but not ATTRX3, is highly induced in sensitive Arabidopsis following victorin treatment. Finally, we determined that only the first of the two active-site Cys residues in ATTRX5 is required for the response to victorin, suggesting that ATTRX5 function in the victorin pathway involves an atypical mechanism of action.

Abstract
The proteomic profile of thylakoid membranes and the changes induced in that proteome by iron deficiency have been studied by using thylakoid preparations from Beta vulgaris plants grown in hydroponics. Two different 2-D electrophoresis approaches have been used to study these proteomes: isoelectrical focusing followed by SDS PAGE (IEF-SDS PAGE) and blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by SDS PAGE (BN-SDS PAGE). These techniques resolved approximately 110-140 and 40 polypeptides, respectively. Iron deficiency induced significant changes in the thylakoid sugar beet proteome profiles: the relative amounts of electron transfer protein complexes were reduced, whereas those of proteins participating in leaf carbon fixation-linked reactions were increased. A set of polypeptides, which includes several enzymes related to metabolism, was detected in thylakoid preparations from Fe-deficient Beta vulgaris leaves by using BN-SDS PAGE, suggesting that they may be associated with these thylakoids in vivo. The BN-SDS PAGE technique has been proven to be a better method than IEF-SDS PAGE to resolve highly hydrophobic integral membrane proteins from thylakoid preparations, allowing for the identification of complexes and determination of their polypeptidic components.

Abstract
Regulation of disulfide dithiol exchange has become increasingly important in our knowledge of plant life. Initially discovered as regulators of light-dependent malate biosynthesis in the chloroplast, plant thioredoxins are now implicated in a large panel of reactions related to metabolism, defense and development. In this review we describe the numerous thioredoxin types encoded by the Arabidopsis genome, and provide evidence that they are present in all higher plants. Some results suggest cross-talk between thioredoxins and glutaredoxins, the second family of disulfide dithiol reductase. The development of proteomics in plants revealed an unexpectedly large number of putative target proteins for thioredoxins and glutaredoxins. Nevertheless, we are far from a clear understanding of the actual function of each thioredoxin in planta. Although hampered by functional redundancies between genes, genetic approaches are probably unavoidable to define which thioredoxin interacts with which target protein and evaluate the physiological consequences.

Abstract
The maturation of c-type cytochromes requires the covalent ligation of the heme cofactor to reduced cysteines of the CXXCH motif of apocytochromes. In contrast to mitochondria of other eukaryotes, plant mitochondria follow a pathway close to that found in alpha- and gamma-proteobacteria. We identified a nuclear-encoded protein, AtCCMH, the Arabidopsis thaliana ortholog of bacterial CcmH/CycL proteins. In bacteria, CcmH and the thioredoxin CcmG are components of a periplasmic thio-reduction pathway proposed to maintain the apocytochrome c cysteines in a reduced state. AtCCMH is located exclusively in mitochondria. AtCCMH is an integral protein of the inner membrane with the conserved RCXXC motif facing the intermembrane space. Reduction assays show that the cysteine thiols in the RCXXC motif of AtCCMH can form a disulfide bond that can be reduced by enzymatic thiol reductants. A reduced form of AtCCMH can reduce the intra-disulfide bridge of a model peptide of apocytochrome c. When expressed in Escherichia coli, AtCCMH coimmunoprecipitates with the bacterial CcmF, a proposed component of the heme lyase. Blue-native PAGE of mitochondrial membrane complexes reveals the colocalization of AtCCMH and AtCcmF(N2) in a 500-kDa complex. Yeast two-hybrid assays show an interaction between the AtCCMH intermembrane space domain and A. thaliana apocytochrome c. A. thaliana ccmh/ccmh knockout plants show lethality at the torpedo stage of embryogenesis. Our results show that AtCCMH is an essential mitochondrial protein with characteristics consistent with its proposed apocytochrome c-reducing and heme lyase function.

Abstract
A subset of mitochondrial carrier proteins from plants contain a cleavable N-terminal extension. We have used a reconstituted protein import assay system into intermembrane space-depleted mitochondria to study the role of the cleavable extension in the carrier import pathway. Insertion of carrier proteins into the inner membrane can be stimulated by the addition of a soluble intermembrane space fraction isolated from plant mitochondria. Greater stimulation of import of the adenine nucleotide carrier (ANT) and phosphate carrier (Pic), which contain N-terminal cleavable extensions, was observed compared to the import of the oxoglutarate malate carrier (OMT), which does not contain a cleavable extension. Removal of the N-terminal cleavable extension from ANT and Pic resulted in loss of stimulation of insertion into the inner membrane. Conversely, addition of the N-terminal extension from ANT or Pic to OMT resulted in significantly enhanced insertion into the inner membrane. The polytopic inner membrane proteins TIM17 and TIM23 that are imported via the carrier import pathway contain no cleavable extension, displayed high-level stimulation of insertion into the inner membrane by addition of the intermembrane space fraction. Addition of the N-terminal cleavable extension from carrier proteins to TIM23 enhanced insertion of TIM23 into the inner membrane even in the absence of the soluble intermembrane space fraction. Together, these results demonstrate that the cleavable N-terminal extensions present on carrier proteins from plants are required for efficient insertion into the inner mitochondrial membrane, and that they can stimulate insertion of any carrier-like protein into the inner membrane.
