Abstract
BACKGROUND Faced with the need to develop new herbicides with modes of action different to those observed for existing agrochemicals, one of the most promising strategies employed by synthetic chemists involves the structural modification of molecules found in natural products. Molecules containing amides, imides, and epoxides as functional groups are prevalent in nature and find extensive application in synthesizing more intricate compounds due to their biological properties. In this context, this paper delineates the synthesis of N-phenylnorbornenesuccinimide derivatives, conducts biological assays, and carries out in silico investigation of the protein target associated with the most potent compound in plant organisms. The phytotoxic effects of the synthesized compounds (2-29) were evaluated on Allium cepa, Bidens pilosa, Cucumis sativus, Sorghum bicolor, and Solanum lycopersicum. RESULTS Reaction of endo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-3a,7a-dicarboxylic anhydride (1) with aromatic amines led to the N-phenylnorbornenesuccinic acids (2-11) with yields ranging from 75% to 90%. Cyclization of compounds (2-11) in the presence of acetic anhydride and sodium acetate afforded N-phenylnorbornenesuccinimides (12-20) with yields varying from 65% to 89%. Those imides were then subjected to epoxidation reaction to afford N-phenylepoxynorbornanesuccimides (21-29) with yields from 60% to 90%. All compounds inhibited the growth of seedlings of the plants evaluated. Substance 23 was the most active against the plants tested, inhibiting 100% the growth of all species in all concentrations. Cyclophilin was found to be the enzymatic target of compound 23. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that derivatives of N-phenylnorbornenesuccinimide are promising compounds in the quest for more selective and stable agrochemicals. This perspective reinforces the significance of these derivatives as potential innovative herbicides and emphasizes the importance of further exploring their biological activity on weeds. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Nadi R, Juan-Vicente L, Mateo-Bonmatí E, Micol JL. The unequal functional redundancy of Arabidopsis INCURVATA11 and CUPULIFORMIS2 is not dependent on genetic background. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1239093. [PMID: 38034561 PMCID: PMC10684699 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1239093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
The paralogous genes INCURVATA11 (ICU11) and CUPULIFORMIS2 (CP2) encode components of the epigenetic machinery in Arabidopsis and belong to the 2-oxoglutarate and Fe (II)-dependent dioxygenase superfamily. We previously inferred unequal functional redundancy between ICU11 and CP2 from a study of the synergistic phenotypes of the double mutant and sesquimutant combinations of icu11 and cp2 mutations, although they represented mixed genetic backgrounds. To avoid potential confounding effects arising from different genetic backgrounds, we generated the icu11-5 and icu11-6 mutants via CRISPR/Cas genome editing in the Col-0 background and crossed them to cp2 mutants in Col-0. The resulting mutants exhibited a postembryonic-lethal phenotype reminiscent of strong embryonic flower (emf) mutants. Double mutants involving icu11-5 and mutations affecting epigenetic machinery components displayed synergistic phenotypes, whereas cp2-3 did not besides icu11-5. Our results confirmed the unequal functional redundancy between ICU11 and CP2 and demonstrated that it is not allele or genetic background specific. An increase in sucrose content in the culture medium partially rescued the post-germinative lethality of icu11 cp2 double mutants and sesquimutants, facilitating the study of their morphological phenotypes throughout their life cycle, which include floral organ homeotic transformations. We thus established that the ICU11-CP2 module is required for proper flower organ identity.

Abstract
With a diversity of approximately 22,000 species, bryophytes (hornworts, liverworts, and mosses) represent a major and diverse lineage of land plants. Bryophytes can thrive in many extreme environments as they can endure the stresses of drought, heat, and cold. The moss Niphotrichum japonicum (Grimmiaceae, Grimmiales) can subsist for extended periods under heat and drought conditions, providing a good candidate for studying the genetic basis underlying such high resilience. Here, we de novo assembled the genome of N. japonicum using Nanopore long reads combined with Hi-C scaffolding technology to anchor the 191.61 Mb assembly into 14 pseudochromosomes. The genome structure of N. japonicum's autosomes is mostly conserved and highly syntenic, in contrast to the sparse and disordered genes present in its sex chromosome. Comparative genomic analysis revealed the presence of 10,019 genes exclusively in N. japonicum. These genes may contribute to the species-specific resilience, as demonstrated by the gene ontology (GO) enrichment. Transcriptome analysis showed that 37.44% (including 3,107 unique genes) of the total annotated genes (26,898) exhibited differential expression as a result of heat-induced stress, and the mechanisms that respond to heat stress are generally conserved across plants. These include the upregulation of HSPs, LEAs, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging genes, and the downregulation of PPR genes. N. japonicum also appears to have distinctive thermal mechanisms, including species-specific expansion and upregulation of the Self-incomp_S1 gene family, functional divergence of duplicated genes, structural clusters of upregulated genes, and expression piggybacking of hub genes. Overall, our study highlights both shared and species-specific heat tolerance strategies in N. japonicum, providing valuable insights into the heat tolerance mechanism and the evolution of resilient plants.

Abstract
The chloroplast is a semi-autonomous organelle with a double membrane structure, and its structural stability is a prerequisite for its correct function. Chloroplast development is regulated by known nuclear-encoded chloroplast proteins or proteins encoded within the chloroplast itself. However, the mechanism of chloroplast development regulated by other organelles remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the nuclear-localized DEAD-box RNA helicase 13 (RH13) is essential for chloroplast development in Arabidopsis thaliana. RH13 is widely expressed in tissues and localized to the nucleolus. A homozygous rh13 mutant shows abnormal chloroplast structure and leaf morphogenesis. Proteomic analysis showed that the expression levels of photosynthesis-related proteins in chloroplasts were reduced due to loss of RH13. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing and proteomics data revealed decreases in the expression levels of these chloroplast-related genes, which undergo alternative splicing events in the rh13 mutant. Taken together, we propose that nucleolus-localized RH13 is critical for chloroplast development in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
Excess light causes severe photodamage to photosystem II (PSII) where the primary charge separation for electron transfer takes place. Dissection of mechanisms underlying the PSII maintenance and repair cycle in green algae promotes the usage of genetic engineering and synthetic biology to improve photosynthesis and biomass production. In this study, we systematically analyzed the high light (HL) responsive immunophilin genes in Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) and identified one chloroplast lumen-localized immunophilin, CYN28, as an essential player in HL tolerance. Lack of CYN28 caused HL hypersensitivity, severely reduced accumulation of PSII supercomplexes and compromised PSII repair in cyn28. The thylakoid FtsH (filamentation temperature-sensitive H) is an essential AAA family metalloprotease involved in the degradation of photodamaged D1 during the PSII repair cycle and was identified as one potential target of CYN28. In the cyn28 mutant, the thylakoid FtsH undergoes inefficient turnover under HL conditions. The CYN28-FtsH1/2 interaction relies on the FtsH N-terminal proline residues and is strengthened particularly under HL. Further analyses demonstrated CYN28 displays peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) activity, which is necessary for its physiological function. Taken together, we propose that immunophilin CYN28 participates in PSII maintenance and regulates the homeostasis of FtsH under HL stress via its PPIase activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclophilin (CYP) belongs to the immunophilin family and has peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity, which catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization process of proline residues. CYPs widely exist in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and contain a conserved cyclophilin-like domain (CLD). Plant cyclophilins are widely involved in a range of biological processes including stress response, metabolic regulation, and growth and development. RESULT In this study, 30 cyclophilin genes on 15 chromosomes were identified from the 'Golden Delicious' apple (M. domestica) genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the cyclophilin family genes can be divided into three clades in Malus. Collinear analysis showed that ten gene pairs were the result of segmental duplication. Analysis of gene and protein structure further supported the phylogenetic tree and collinearity analysis. The expression of MdCYPs in different organs was higher in leaves, flowers, and fruits. Ten and eight CYPs responded to drought and salt stress, respectively. MdCYP16, a nuclear-localized MD CYP, was screened from the intersection of the two expression profiling datasets and was highly sensitive to drought and salt stress. GUS staining of transgenic Arabidopsis indicated that MdCYP16 may be involved in the regulation of abiotic stress. CONCLUSION This study systematically analyzed members of the apple cyclophilin family and confirmed the involvement of MdCYP16 as a nuclear-localized MD cyclophilin that acts in response to salt and drought stress in apple. Our work identifies members of the apple cyclophilin gene family, and provides an important theoretical basis for in-depth study of cyclophilin function. Additionally, the analysis provides candidate genes that may be involved in stress response in apple.

Abstract
Photosynthesis involves a series of redox reactions and is the major source of reactive oxygen species in plant cells. Fluctuating light (FL) levels, which occur commonly in natural environments, affect photosynthesis; however, little is known about the specific effects of FL on the redox regulation of photosynthesis. Here, we performed global quantitative mapping of the Arabidopsis thaliana cysteine thiol redox proteome under constant light and FL conditions. We identified 8857 redox-switched thiols in 4350 proteins, and 1501 proteins that are differentially modified depending on light conditions. Notably, proteins related to photosynthesis, especially photosystem I (PSI), are operational thiol-switching hotspots. Exposure of wild-type A. thaliana to FL resulted in decreased PSI abundance, stability, and activity. Interestingly, in response to PSI photodamage, more of the PSI assembly factor PSA3 dynamically switches to the reduced state. Furthermore, the Cys199 and Cys200 sites in PSA3 are necessary for its full function. Moreover, thioredoxin m (Trx m) proteins play roles in redox switching of PSA3, and are required for PSI activity and photosynthesis. This study thus reveals a mechanism for redox-based regulation of PSI under FL, and provides insight into the dynamic acclimation of photosynthesis in a changing environment.

Abstract
Fatty acid desaturases (FADs) modulate carbon–carbon single bonds to form carbon–carbon double bonds in acyl chains, leading to unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) that have vital roles in plant growth and development and their response to environmental stresses. In this study, a total of 23 Populus trichocarpaFAD (PtFAD) candidates were identified from the poplar genome and clustered into seven clades, including FAB2, FAD2, FAD3/7/8, FAD5, FAD6, DSD, and SLD. The exon–intron compositions and conserved motifs of the PtFADs, clustered into the same clade, were considerably conserved. It was found that segmental duplication events are predominantly attributable to the PtFAD gene family expansion. Several hormone- and stress-responsive elements in the PtFAD promoters implied that the expression of the PtFAD members was complicatedly regulated. A gene expression pattern analysis revealed that some PtFAD mRNA levels were significantly induced by abiotic stress. An interaction proteins and gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the PtFADs are closely associated with the UFAs biosynthesis. In addition, the UFA contents in poplars were significantly changed under drought and salt stresses, especially the ratio of linoleic and linolenic acids. The integration of the PtFAD expression patterns and UFA contents showed that the abiotic stress-induced PtFAD3/7/8 members mediating the conversion of linoleic and linolenic acids play vital roles in response to osmotic stress. This study highlights the profiles and functions of the PtFADs and identifies some valuable genes for forest improvements.

Abstract
Antibiotics are used in plant in vitro tissue culture to eliminate microbial contamination or for selection in genetic transformation. Antibiotic timentin has a relatively low cytotoxic effect on plant tissue culture; however, it could induce an enduring growth-inhibiting effect in tobacco in vitro shoot culture that persists after tissue transfer to a medium without antibiotic. The effect is associated with an increase in oxidative stress injury in plant tissues. In this study, we assessed changes of reactive oxygen species accumulation, protein expression, and oxidative protein modification response associated with enduring timentin treatment-induced growth suppression in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in vitro shoot culture. The study revealed a gradual 1.7 and 1.9-fold increase in superoxide (O2•−) content at the later phase of the propagation cycle for treatment control (TC) and post-antibiotic treatment (PA) shoots; however, the O2•− accumulation pattern was different. For PA shoots, the increase in O2•− concentration occurred several days earlier, resulting in 1.2 to 1.4-fold higher O2•− concentration compared to TC during the period following the first week of cultivation. Although no protein expression differences were detectable between the TC and PA shoots by two-dimensional electrophoresis, the increase in O2•− concentration in PA shoots was associated with a 1.5-fold increase in protein carbonyl modification content after one week of cultivation, and protein carbonylation analysis revealed differential modification of 26 proteoforms involved in the biological processes of photosynthesis and glycolysis. The results imply that the timentin treatment-induced oxidative stress might be implicated in nontranslational cellular redox balance regulation, accelerates the development of senescence of the shoot culture, and contributes to the shoot growth-suppressing effect of antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
Many organisms are subjected to a daily cycle of light and darkness, which significantly influences metabolic and physiological processes. In the present study, Neopyropia yezoensis, one of the major cultivated seaweeds used in "nori," was harvested in the morning and evening during light/dark treatments to investigate daily changes in gene expression using RNA-sequencing. A high abundance of transcripts in the morning includes the genes associated with carbon-nitrogen assimilations, polyunsaturated fatty acid, and starch synthesis. In contrast, the upregulation of a subset of the genes associated with the pentose phosphate pathway, cell cycle, and DNA replication at evening is necessary for the tight control of light-sensitive processes, such as DNA replication. Additionally, a high abundance of transcripts at dusk encoding asparaginase and glutamate dehydrogenase imply that regulation of asparagine catabolism and tricarboxylic acid cycle possibly contributes to supply nitrogen and carbon, respectively, for growth during the dark. In addition, genes encoding cryptochrome/photolyase family and histone modification proteins were identified as potential key players for regulating diurnal rhythmic genes.

Abstract
In plant chloroplasts, photosystem II (PSII) complexes, together with light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), form various PSII-LHCII supercomplexes (SCs). This process likely involves immunophilins, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms are unclear. Here, by comparing Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking the chloroplast lumen-localized immunophilin CYCLOPHILIN28 (CYP28) to wild-type and transgenic complemented lines, we determined that CYP28 regulates the assembly and accumulation of PSII-LHCII SCs. Compared to the wild type, cyp28 plants showed accelerated leaf growth, earlier flowering time, and enhanced accumulation of high molecular weight PSII-LHCII SCs under normal light conditions. The lack of CYP28 also significantly affected the electron transport rate. Blue native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis revealed more Lhcb6 and less Lhcb4 in M-LHCII-Lhcb4-Lhcb6 complexes in cyp28 versus wild-type plants. Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) activity assays revealed that CYP28 exhibits weak PPIase activity and that its K113 and E187 residues are critical for this activity. Mutant analysis suggested that CYP28 may regulate PSII-LHCII SC accumulation by altering the configuration of Lhcb6 via its PPIase activity. Furthermore, the Lhcb6-P139 residue is critical for PSII-LHCII SC assembly and accumulation. Therefore, our findings suggest that CYP28 likely regulates PSII-LHCII SC assembly and accumulation by altering the configuration of P139 of Lhcb6 via its PPIase activity.

Cyclophilin anaCyp40 regulates photosystem assembly and phycobilisome association in a cyanobacterium. Nat Commun 2022; 13:1690.

Abstract
Cyclophilins, or immunophilins, are proteins found in many organisms including bacteria, plants and humans. Most of them display peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity, and play roles as chaperones or in signal transduction. Here, we show that cyclophilin anaCyp40 from the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is enzymatically active, and seems to be involved in general stress responses and in assembly of photosynthetic complexes. The protein is associated with the thylakoid membrane and interacts with phycobilisome and photosystem components. Knockdown of anacyp40 leads to growth defects under high-salt and high-light conditions, and reduced energy transfer from phycobilisomes to photosystems. Elucidation of the anaCyp40 crystal structure at 1.2-Å resolution reveals an N-terminal helical domain with similarity to PsbQ components of plant photosystem II, and a C-terminal cyclophilin domain with a substrate-binding site. The anaCyp40 structure is distinct from that of other multi-domain cyclophilins (such as Arabidopsis thaliana Cyp38), and presents features that are absent in single-domain cyclophilins.

Abstract
Plant tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (TPS) provides the indispensable chlorophyll (Chl) and heme molecules in photosynthetic organisms. Post-translational mechanisms control the enzymes to ensure a balanced flow of intermediates in the pathway and synthesis of appropriate amounts of both endproducts. One of the critical regulators of TPS is GENOMES UNCOUPLED 4 (GUN4). GUN4 interacts with magnesium chelatase (MgCh), and its binding of the catalytic substrate and product of the MgCh reaction stimulates the insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX. Despite numerous in vitro studies, knowledge about the in vivo function of the GUN4:porphyrin interaction for the whole TPS pathway, particularly in plants, is still limited. To address this, we focused on two highly conserved amino acids crucial for porphyrin-binding to GUN4 and analyzed GUN4-F191A, R211A, and R211E substitution mutants in vitro and in vivo. Our analysis confirmed the importance of these amino acids for porphyrin-binding and the stimulation of plant MgCh by GUN4 in vitro. Expression of porphyrin-binding deficient F191A, R211A, and R211E in the Arabidopsis gun4-2 knockout mutant background revealed that, unlike in cyanobacteria and green algae, GUN4:porphyrin interactions did not affect the stability of GUN4 or other Arabidopsis TPS pathway enzymes in vivo. In addition, although they shared diminished porphyrin-binding and MgCh activation in vitro, expression of the different GUN4 mutants in gun4-2 had divergent effects on the TPS and the accumulation of Chl and Chl-binding proteins. For instance, expression of R211E, but not R211A, induced a substantial decrease of ALA synthesis rate, lower TPS intermediate and Chl level, and strongly impaired accumulation of photosynthetic complexes compared to wild-type plants. Furthermore, the presence of R211E led to significant growth retardation and paler leaves compared to GUN4 knockdown mutants, indicating that the exchange of R211 to glutamate compromised TPS and Chl accumulation more substantially than the almost complete lack of GUN4. Extensive in vivo analysis of GUN4 point mutants suggested that F191 and R211 might also play a role beyond porphyrin-binding.

OsCyp2-P, an auxin-responsive cyclophilin, regulates Ca 2+ calmodulin interaction for an ion-mediated stress response in rice. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2022; 174:e13631.

Abstract
OsCYP2-P is an active cyclophilin (having peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerase activity, PPIase) isolated from the wild rice Pokkali having a natural capacity to grow and yield seeds in coastal saline regions of India. Transcript abundance analysis in rice seedlings showed the gene is inducible by multiple stresses, including salinity, drought, high temperature, and heavy metals. To dissect the role of OsCYP2-P gene in stress response, we raised overexpression (OE) and knockdown (KD) transgenic rice plants with >2-3 folds higher and approximately 2-fold lower PPIase activity, respectively. Plants overexpressing this gene had more favorable physiological and biochemical parameters (K+ /Na+ ratio, electrolytic leakage, membrane damage, antioxidant enzymes) than wild type, and the reverse was observed in plants that were knocked down for this gene. We propose that OsCYP2-P contributes to stress tolerance via maintenance of ion homeostasis and thus prevents toxic cellular ion buildup and membrane damage. OE plants were found to have a higher harvest index and higher number of filled grains under salinity and drought stress than wild type. OsCYP2-P interacts with calmodulin, indicating it functions via the Ca-CaM pathway. Compared to the WT, the germinating OE seeds exhibited a substantially higher auxin level, and this hormone was below the detection limits in the WT and KD lines. These observations strongly indicate that OsCyp2-P affects the signaling and transport of auxin in rice.

Identification of interacting proteins of Arabidopsis cyclophilin38 (AtCYP38) via multiple screening approaches reveals its possible broad functions in chloroplasts. JOURNAL OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2021; 264:153487.

Abstract
AtCYP38, a thylakoid lumen localized immunophilin, is found to be essential for photosystem II assembly and maintenance, but how AtCYP38 functions in chloroplast remains unknown. Based on previous functional studies and its crystal structure, we hypothesize that AtCYP38 should function via binding its targets or cofactors in the thylakoid lumen. To identify potential interacting proteins of AtCYP38, we first adopted ATTED-II and STRING web-tools, and found 12 proteins functionally related to AtCYP38. We then screened a yeast two-hybrid library including an Arabidopsis genome wide cDNA with different domain of AtCYP38, and five thylakoid lumen-localized targets were identified. In order to specifically search interacting proteins of AtCYP38 in the thylakoid lumen, we generated a yeast two-hybrid mini library including the thylakoid lumenal proteins and lumenal fractions of thylakoid membrane proteins, and we obtained six thylakoid membrane proteins and nine thylakoid lumenal proteins as interacting proteins of AtCYP38. The interactions between AtCYP38 and several potential targets were further confirmed via pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays. Together, a couple of new potential candidate interacting proteins of AtCYP38 were identified, and the results will lay a foundation for unveiling the regulatory mechanisms in photosynthesis by AtCYP38.

Abstract
Photosynthetic eukaryotes require the proper assembly of photosystem II (PSII) in order to strip electrons from water and fuel carbon fixation reactions. In Arabidopsis thaliana, one of the PSII subunits (CP43/PsbC) was suggested to be assembled into the PSII complex via its interaction with an auxiliary protein called Low PSII Accumulation 2 (LPA2). However, the original articles describing the role of LPA2 in PSII assembly have been retracted. To investigate the function of LPA2 in the model organism for green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we generated knockout lpa2 mutants by using the CRISPR-Cas9 target-specific genome editing system. Biochemical analyses revealed the thylakoidal localization of LPA2 protein in the wild type (WT), whereas lpa2 mutants were characterized by a drastic reduction in the levels of D1, D2, CP47 and CP43 proteins. Consequently, reduced PSII supercomplex accumulation, chlorophyll content per cell, PSII quantum yield and photosynthetic oxygen evolution were measured in the lpa2 mutants, leading to the almost complete impairment of photoautotrophic growth. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that the absence of LPA2 protein caused reduced PSII assembly and reduced PSII turnover. Taken together, our data indicate that, in C. reinhardtii, LPA2 is required for PSII assembly and proper function.

Abstract
The thylakoid lumen houses proteins that are vital for photosynthetic electron transport, including water-splitting at photosystem (PS) II and shuttling of electrons from cytochrome b6f to PSI. Other lumen proteins maintain photosynthetic activity through biogenesis and turnover of PSII complexes. Although all lumen proteins are soluble, these known details have highlighted interactions of some lumen proteins with thylakoid membranes or thylakoid-intrinsic proteins. Meanwhile, the functional details of most lumen proteins, as well as their distribution between the soluble and membrane-associated lumen fractions, remain unknown. The current study isolated the soluble free lumen (FL) and membrane-associated lumen (MAL) fractions from Arabidopsis thaliana, and used gel- and mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods to analyze the contents of each proteome. These results identified 60 lumenal proteins, and clearly distinguished the difference between the FL and MAL proteomes. The most abundant proteins in the FL fraction were involved in PSII assembly and repair, while the MAL proteome was enriched in proteins that support the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). Novel proteins, including a new PsbP domain-containing isoform, as well as several novel post-translational modifications and N-termini, are reported, and bi-dimensional separation of the lumen proteome identified several protein oligomers in the thylakoid lumen.

Abstract
The chloroplast signal recognition particle 54 kDa (CpSRP54) protein is a member of the CpSRP pathway known to target proteins to thylakoid membranes in plants and green algae. Loss of CpSRP54 in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum lowers the accumulation of a selection of chloroplast-encoded subunits of photosynthetic complexes, indicating a role in the co-translational part of the CpSRP pathway. In contrast to plants and green algae, absence of CpSRP54 does not have a negative effect on the content of light-harvesting antenna complex proteins and pigments in P. tricornutum, indicating that the diatom CpSRP54 protein has not evolved to function in the post-translational part of the CpSRP pathway. Cpsrp54 KO mutants display altered photophysiological responses, with a stronger induction of photoprotective mechanisms and lower growth rates compared to wild type when exposed to increased light intensities. Nonetheless, their phenotype is relatively mild, thanks to the activation of mechanisms alleviating the loss of CpSRP54, involving upregulation of chaperones. We conclude that plants, green algae, and diatoms have evolved differences in the pathways for co-translational and post-translational insertion of proteins into the thylakoid membranes.

Abstract
Photosynthesis in leaves generates fixed-carbon resources and essential metabolites that support sink tissues, such as roots. Two of these metabolites, sucrose and auxin, promote growth in root systems, but the explicit connection between photosynthetic activity and control of root architecture has not been explored. Through a mutant screen to identify pathways regulating root system architecture, we identified a mutation in the Arabidopsis thaliana CYCLOPHILIN 38 (CYP38) gene, which causes accumulation of pre-emergent stage lateral roots. CYP38 was previously reported to stabilize photosystem II (PSII) in chloroplasts. CYP38 expression is enriched in shoots, and grafting experiments show that the gene acts non-cell-autonomously to promote lateral root emergence. Growth of wild-type plants under low-light conditions phenocopies the cyp38 lateral root emergence defect, as does the inhibition of PSII-dependent electron transport or Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) production. Importantly, these perturbations to photosynthetic activity rapidly suppress lateral root emergence, which is separate from their effects on shoot size. Supplementary exogenous sucrose largely rescued primary root (PR) growth in cyp38, but not lateral root growth. Auxin (indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)) biosynthesis from tryptophan is dependent on reductant generated during photosynthesis. Consistently, we found that wild-type seedlings grown under low light and cyp38 mutants have highly diminished levels of IAA in root tissues. IAA treatment rescued the cyp38 lateral root defect, revealing that photosynthesis promotes lateral root emergence partly through IAA biosynthesis. These data directly confirm the importance of CYP38-dependent photosynthetic activity in supporting root growth, and define the specific contributions of two metabolites in refining root architecture under light-limited conditions.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential element for plant growth but it becomes phytotoxic at higher concentrations. The effect of Mn-excess in hydroponics medium was examined on growth, oxidative stress, and ultrastructural changes in chloroplasts and mitochondria as well proteomic alterations in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings. Seedlings grown with 1 mM and 2 mM Mn in nutrient medium for 8 days showed decline in length and fresh biomass, and decline in net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance. Shoots of the seedlings had higher Mn content than roots. Mn-treated seedlings showed increased production of O2·-, H2O2, and .OH, increased lipid peroxidation, increased carbonylation of proteins, and increased proteolytic activity compared to untreated seedlings. Mn-treated seedlings showed disorganization and swelling of chloroplasts with appearance of plastoglobuli in TEM images and deformity in shape of mitochondria. Using confocal microscopy depolarization of mitochondrial membrane was observed marked by green fluorescence of JC-1 dye monomers in Mn-treated roots. Proteomics studies from leaves of Mn-treated seedlings involving 2DE and PDQuest analysis showed differential expression of 23 proteins, among which MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry analysis revealed Mn-led downregulation of photosynthesis-related proteins, namely oxygen-evolving complex protein associated with PSII, PAP-3, enzyme involved in protein folding peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes hydrolase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, transketolase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase, whereas ATP-dependent Clp protease, peroxidase, and nucleic acid-binding proteins were downregulated due to Mn treatment. Results indicate that Mn-excess inhibits growth of rice plants with induction of oxidative stress, causing structural alterations in chloroplasts, mitochondria, inhibiting photosynthesis, and downregulating many photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism-related proteins.

Abstract
Arabidopsis cyclophilin38 (CYP38) is a thylakoid lumen protein critial for PSII assembly and maintenance, and its C-terminal region serves as the target binding domain. We hypothesized that four conserved residues (R290, F294, Q372, and F374) in the C-terminal domain are critical for the structure and function of CYP38. In yeast two-hybrid and protein pull-down assays, CYP38s with single-sited mutations (R290A, F294A, Q372A, or F374A) did not interact with the CP47 E-loop as the wild-type CYP38. In contrast, CYP38 with the R290A/F294A/Q372A/F374A quadruple mutation could bind the CP47 E-loop. Gene transformation analysis showed that the quadruple mutation prevented CYP38 to efficiently complement the mutant phenotype of cyp38. The C-terminal domain half protein with the quadruple mutation, like the wild-type one, could interact with the N-terminal domain or the CP47 E-loop in vitro. The cyp38 plants expressing CYP38 with the quadruple mutation showed a similar BN-PAGE profile as cyp38, but distinct from the wild type. The CYP38 protein with the quadruple mutation associated with the thylakoid membrane less efficiently than the wild-type CYP38. We concluded that these four conserved residues are indispensable as changes of all these residues together resulted in a subtle conformational change of CYP38 and reduced its intramolecular N-C interaction and the ability to associate with the thylakoid membrane, thus impairing its function in chloroplast.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photosystem II (PSII) is a highly conserved integral-membrane multi-subunit pigment-protein complex. The proteins, pigments, lipids, and ions in PSII need to be assembled precisely to ensure a proper PSII biogenesis. D1 is the main subunit of PSII core reaction center (RC), and is usually synthesized as a precursor D1. D1 maturation by the C-terminal processing protease CtpA is essential for PSII assembly. However, the detailed mechanism about how D1 maturation affects PSII assembly is not clearly elucidated so far. In this study, Arabidopsis thaliana CtpA mutant (atctpa: SALK_056011), which lacks the D1 mature process, was used to investigate the function of this process on PSII assembly in more details. RESULTS Without the C-terminal processing of precursor D1, PSII assembly, including PSII monomer, dimer, especially PSII supercomplexes (PSII SCs), was largely compromised as reported previously. Western blotting following the BN-2D-SDS PAGE revealed that although the assembly of PSII core proteins D2, CP43 and CP47 was affected by the loss of D1 mature process, the incorporation of CP43 was affected the most, indicated by its most reduced assembly efficiency into PSII SCs. Furthermore, the slower growth of yeast cells which were co-transformed with pD1 and CP43, when compared with the ones co-transformed with mature D1 and CP43, approved the existence of D1 C-terminal tail hindered the interaction efficiency between D1 and CP43, indicating the physiological importance of D1 mature process on the PSII assembly and the healthy growth of the organisms. CONCLUSIONS The knockout Arabidopsis atctpa mutant is a good material to study the unexpected link between D1 maturation and PSII SCs assembly. The loss of D1 maturation mainly affects the incorporation of PSII core protein CP43, an inner antenna binding protein, which functions in the association of LHCII complexes to PSII dimers during the formation of PSII SCs. Our findings here provide detailed supports of the role of D1 maturation during PSII SCs assembly in higher plants.

Abstract
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous plant of outstanding tolerance to abiotic stress. The aim of the presented study was to describe the mechanism of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) photosynthetic apparatus acclimatisation strategies to salinity stress. The seedlings were cultivated in a hydroponic system in media containing various concentrations of NaCl (0, 50, and 100 mM), imitating none, moderate, and severe salinity, respectively, for three weeks. In order to characterise the function and structure of the photosynthetic apparatus, Chl a fluorescence, gas exchange measurements, proteome analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis were done inter alia. Significant differences in the response of the leaf and stem photosynthetic apparatus to severe salt stress were observed. Leaves became the place of harmful ion (Na+) accumulation, and the efficiency of their carboxylation decreased sharply. In turn, in stems, the reconstruction of the photosynthetic apparatus (antenna and photosystem complexes) activated alternative electron transport pathways, leading to effective ATP synthesis, which is required for the efficient translocation of Na+ to leaves. These changes enabled efficient stem carboxylation and made them the main source of assimilates. The observed changes indicate the high plasticity of grass pea photosynthetic apparatus, providing an effective mechanism of tolerance to salinity stress.

Abstract
Cyclophilins constitute a family of ubiquitous proteins that bind cyclosporin A (CsA), an immunosuppressant drug. Several of these proteins possess peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity that catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of the peptide bond preceding a proline residue, essential for correct folding of the proteins. Compared to prokaryotes and other eukaryotes studied until now, the cyclophilin gene families in plants exhibit considerable expansion. With few exceptions, the role of the majority of these proteins in plants is still a matter of conjecture. However, recent studies suggest that cyclophilins are highly versatile proteins with multiple functionalities, and regulate a plethora of growth and development processes in plants, ranging from hormone signaling to the stress response. The present review discusses the implications of cyclophilins in different facets of cellular processes, particularly in the context of plants, and provides a glimpse into the molecular mechanisms by which these proteins fine-tune the diverse physiological pathways.

Abstract
Chlorophyll (Chl) is essential for photosynthetic reactions and chloroplast development. While the enzymatic pathway for Chl biosynthesis is well established, the regulatory mechanism underlying the homeostasis of Chl levels remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified CBD1 (Chlorophyll Biosynthetic Defect1), which functions in the regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis. The CBD1 gene was expressed specifically in green tissues and its protein product was embedded in the thylakoid membrane. Furthermore, CBD1 was precisely co-expressed and functionally correlated with GUN5 (Genome Uncoupled 5). Analysis of chlorophyll metabolic intermediates indicated that cbd1 and cbd1gun5 mutants over-accumulated magnesium protoporphyrin IX (Mg-Proto IX). In addition, the cbd1 mutant thylakoid contained less Mg than the wild type not only as a result of lower Chl content, but also implicating CBD1 in Mg transport. This was supported by the finding that CBD1 complemented a Mg2+ uptake-deficient Salmonella strain under low Mg conditions. Taken together, these results indicate that CBD1 functions synergistically with CHLH/GUN5 in Mg-Proto IX processing, and may serve as a Mg-transport protein to maintain Mg homeostasis in the chloroplast.

Abstract
Cold treatment (vernalization) is required for winter crops such as rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). However, excessive exposure to low temperature (LT) in winter is also a stress for the semi-winter, early-flowering rapeseed varieties widely cultivated in China. Photosynthetic efficiency is one of the key determinants, and thus a good indicator for LT tolerance in plants. So far, the genetic basis underlying photosynthetic efficiency is poorly understood in rapeseed. Here the current study used Associative Transcriptomics to identify genetic loci controlling photosynthetic gas exchange parameters in a diversity panel comprising 123 accessions. A total of 201 significant Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and 147 Gene Expression Markers (GEMs) were detected, leading to the identification of 22 candidate genes. Of these, Cab026133.1, an ortholog of the Arabidopsis gene AT2G29300.2 encoding a tropinone reductase (BnTR1), was further confirmed to be closely linked to transpiration rate. Ectopic expressing BnTR1 in Arabidopsis plants significantly increased the transpiration rate and enhanced LT tolerance under freezing conditions. Also, a much higher level of alkaloids content was observed in the transgenic Arabidopsis plants, which could help protect against LT stress. Together, the current study showed that AT is an effective approach for dissecting LT tolerance trait in rapeseed and that BnTR1 is a good target gene for the genetic improvement of LT tolerance in plant.

Abstract
Temperature elevations constitute a major threat to plant performance. In recent years, much was learned about the general molecular mode of heat stress reaction of plants. The current research focuses on the integration of the knowledge into more global networks, including the reactions of cellular compartments. For instance, chloroplast function is central for plant growth and survival, and the performance of chloroplasts is tightly linked to the general status of the cell and vice versa. We examined the changes in photosynthesis, chloroplast morphology and proteomic composition posed in Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts after a single or repetitive heat stress treatment over a period of two weeks. We observed that the acclimation is potent in the case of repetitive application of heat stress, while a single stress results in lasting alterations. Moreover, the physiological capacity and its adjustment are dependent on the efficiency of the protein translocation process as judged from the analysis of mutants of the two receptor units of the chloroplast translocon, TOC64, and TOC33. In response to repetitive heat stress, plants without TOC33 accumulate Hsp70 proteins and plants without TOC64 have a higher content of proteins involved in thylakoid structure determination when compared to wild-type plants.

Abstract
Synthesis of the D1 reaction center protein of Photosystem II is dynamically regulated in response to environmental and developmental cues. In chloroplasts, much of this regulation occurs at the post-transcriptional level, but the proteins responsible are largely unknown. To discover proteins that impact psbA expression, we identified proteins that associate with maize psbA mRNA by: (i) formaldehyde cross-linking of leaf tissue followed by antisense oligonucleotide affinity capture of psbA mRNA; and (ii) co-immunoprecipitation with HCF173, a psbA translational activator that is known to bind psbA mRNA. The S1 domain protein SRRP1 and two RNA Recognition Motif (RRM) domain proteins, CP33C and CP33B, were enriched with both approaches. Orthologous proteins were also among the enriched protein set in a previous study in Arabidopsis that employed a designer RNA-binding protein as a psbA RNA affinity tag. We show here that CP33B is bound to psbA mRNA in vivo, as was shown previously for CP33C and SRRP1. Immunoblot, pulse labeling, and ribosome profiling analyses of mutants lacking CP33B and/or CP33C detected some decreases in D1 protein levels under some conditions, but no change in psbA RNA abundance or translation. However, analogous experiments showed that SRRP1 represses psbA ribosome association in the dark, represses ycf1 ribosome association, and promotes accumulation of ndhC mRNA. As SRRP1 is known to harbor RNA chaperone activity, we postulate that SRRP1 mediates these effects by modulating RNA structures. The uncharacterized proteins that emerged from our analyses provide a resource for the discovery of proteins that impact the expression of psbA and other chloroplast genes.

Abstract
Coordinating stress defense and plant growth is a survival strategy for adaptation to different environments that contains a series of processes, such as, cell growth, division and differentiation. However, little is known about the coordination mechanism for protein conformation change. A cyclophilin OsCYP20-2 with a variant interacts with SLENDER RICE1 (SLR1) and OsFSD2 in the nucleus and chloroplasts, respectively, to integrate chilling tolerance and cell elongation in rice (Oryza sativa) (FSD2, Fe-superoxide dismutase 2). Mass spectrum assay showed that OsNuCYP20-2 localized at the nucleus (nuclear located OsCYP20-2) was a new variant of OsCYP20-2 that truncated 71 amino-acid residues in N-terminal. The loss-of function OsCYP20-2 mutant showed sensitivity to chilling stress with accumulation of extra reactive oxygen species (ROS). In chloroplasts, the full-length OsCYP20-2 promotes OsFSD2 forming homodimers which enhance its activity, eliminating the accumulation of ROS under chilling stress. However, the mutant had shorter epidermal cells in comparison with wild-type Hwayoung (HY). In the nucleus, OsCYP20-2 caused conformation change of SLR1 to promote its degradation for cell elongation. Our data reveal a cyclophilin with a variant with dual-localization in chloroplasts and the nucleus, which mediate chilling tolerance and cell elongation.

Abstract
Phylogenetic analysis is complicated by interspecific gene flow and the presence of shared ancestral polymorphisms, particularly those maintained by balancing selection. In this study, we aimed to examine the prevalence of these factors during the diversification of Populus, a model tree genus in the Northern Hemisphere. We constructed phylogenetic trees of 29 Populus taxa using 80 individuals based on re-sequenced genomes. Our species tree analyses recovered four main clades in the genus based on consensus nuclear phylogenies, but in conflict with the plastome phylogeny. A few interspecific relationships remained unresolved within the multiple-species clade because of inconsistent gene trees. Our results indicated that gene flow has been widespread within each clade and also occurred among the four clades during their early divergence. We identified 45 candidate genes with ancient polymorphisms maintained by balancing selection. These genes were mainly associated with mating compatibility, growth and stress resistance. Both gene flow and selection-mediated ancient polymorphisms are prevalent in the genus Populus. These are potentially important contributors to adaptive variation. Our results provide a framework for the diversification of model tree genus that will facilitate future comparative studies.

Abstract
Mitochondrial transcription termination factors (mTERFs) are highly conserved proteins in metazoans. Plants have many more mTERF proteins than animals. The functions and the underlying mechanisms of plants' mTERFs remain largely unknown. In plants, mTERF family proteins are present in both mitochondria and plastids and are involved in gene expression in these organelles through different mechanisms. In this study, we screened Arabidopsis mutants with pigment-defective phenotypes and isolated a T-DNA insertion mutant exhibiting seedling-lethal and albino phenotypes [seedling lethal 1 (sl1)]. The SL1 gene encodes an mTERF protein localized in the chloroplast stroma. The sl1 mutant showed severe defects in chloroplast development, photosystem assembly, and the accumulation of photosynthetic proteins. Furthermore, the transcript levels of some plastid-encoded proteins were significantly reduced in the mutant, suggesting that SL1/mTERF3 may function in the chloroplast gene expression. Indeed, SL1/mTERF3 interacted with PAP12/PTAC7, PAP5/PTAC12, and PAP7/PTAC14 in the subgroup of DNA/RNA metabolism in the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) complex. Taken together, the characterization of the plant chloroplast mTERF protein, SL1/mTERF3, that associated with PEP complex proteins provided new insights into RNA transcription in the chloroplast.

Low UV-C stress modulates Chlamydomonas reinhardtii biomass composition and oxidative stress response through proteomic and metabolomic changes involving novel signalers and effectors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The exposure of microalgae and plants to low UV-C radiation dosages can improve their biomass composition and stress tolerance. Despite UV-C sharing these effects with UV-A/B but at much lower dosages, UV-C sensing and signal mechanisms are still mostly unknown. Thus, we have described and integrated the proteometabolomic and physiological changes occurring in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii-a simple Plantae model-into the first 24 h after a short and low-intensity UV-C irradiation in order to reconstruct the microalgae response system to this stress. RESULTS The microalgae response was characterized by increased redox homeostasis, ROS scavenging and protein damage repair/avoidance elements. These processes were upregulated along with others related to the modulation of photosynthetic electron flux, carbon fixation and C/N metabolism. These changes, attributed to either direct UV-C-, ROS- or redox unbalances-associated damage, trigger a response process involving novel signaling intermediaries and effectors such as the translation modulator FAP204, a PP2A-like protein and a novel DYRK kinase. These elements were found linked to the modulation of Chlamydomonas biomass composition (starch accumulation) and proliferation, within an UV-C response probably modulated by different epigenetic factors. CONCLUSION Chosen multiomics integration approach was able to describe many fast changes, including biomass composition and ROS stress tolerance, as a response to a low-intensity UV-C stress. Moreover, the employed omics and systems biology approach placed many previously unidentified protein and metabolites at the center of these changes. These elements would be promising targets for the characterization of this stress response in microalgae and plants and the engineering of more productive microalgae strains.

Abstract
Investigations of the luminal immunophilin AtCYP38 (cyclophilin 38) in Arabidopsis thaliana (At), the orthologue of the complex immunophilin TLP40 from Spinacia oleracea, revealed its involvement in photosystem II (PSII) repair and assembly, biogenesis of PSII complex, and cellular signalling. However, the main physiological roles of AtCYP38 and TLP40 are related to regulation of thylakoid PP2A-type phosphatase involved in PSII core protein dephosphorylation, and chaperone function during protein folding. Here we further investigate physiological roles of AtCYP38 and analyse the ultrastructure of chloroplasts from cyp38-2 plants. Transmission electron microscopy followed by quantitative micrography revealed modifications in thylakoid stacking. We also confirm that the depletion of AtCYP38 influences PSII performance, which leads to stunted phenotype of cyp38-2 plants.

Abstract
Cyclophilins (CYPs) belonging to the immunophilin family are present in all organisms and widely distributed in various cells associated with the activity of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase. Plant CYPs are members of a multi-gene family and are involved in a series of biological processes. However, little is known about their structure, evolution, developmental expression and functional analysis in Medicago truncatula. In this study, a total of 33 CYP genes were identified and found to be unevenly distributed on eight chromosomes. Among them, 21 are single-domain and 12 are multi-domain proteins, and most were predicted to be localized in the cytosol, nucleus or chloroplast. Phylogenetic and gene structure analysis revealed seven segmental gene pairs, indicating that segmental duplication probably made a large contribution to the expansion of MtCYP gene family. Furthermore, gene expression analysis revealed that about 10 MtCYP genes (were) highly expressed involved in vegetative and reproduction tissues in M. truncatula, and MsCYP20-3B was mainly upregulated in stems, leaves and flower buds in alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Overexpression of MsCYP20-3B was shown to regulate axillary shoot development associated with higher jasmonic acid and abscisic acid contents in M. truncatula. Our study suggests the importance of the CYP genes family in development, reproduction and stress responses, and provides a reference for future studies and application of CYP genes for alfalfa genetic improvement.

Abstract
Cassava is an important tropical crop with strong resistance to drought stress. The chloroplast, the site of photosynthesis, is sensitive to stress, and the drought-response proteins in cassava chloroplasts are worthy of investigation. In this study, cassava leaves were collected for ultra-structure observation from plants subjected to different drought stress conditions. Our results showed that drought stress can promote starch accumulation in cassava chloroplasts. To evaluate changes in chloroplast proteins under different drought conditions, two-dimensional electrophoresis was performed using purified chloroplasts, which resulted in the identification of 26 unique chloroplast proteins responsive to drought stress. These drought-responsive proteins are predominantly related to photosynthesis, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. Among them, most photosynthesis-related proteins are downregulated, with decreases in photosynthetic parameters upon drought stress. Several proteins associated with carbon and nitrogen metabolism, including rubisco and carbonic anhydrase, were upregulated, which might promote drought tolerance in cassava by enhancing the carbohydrate conversion efficiency and protecting the plant from oxidative stress. Our proteomic data not only provide insight into the complement of proteins in cassava chloroplasts but also further our overall understanding of drought-responsive proteins in cassava chloroplasts.

Abstract
The plant-specific translation initiation complex eIFiso4F is encoded by three genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)-genes encoding the cap binding protein eIFiso4E (eifiso4e) and two isoforms of the large subunit scaffolding protein eIFiso4G (i4g1 and i4g2). To quantitate phenotypic changes, a phenomics platform was used to grow wild-type and mutant plants (i4g1, i4g2, i4e, i4g1 x i4g2, and i4g1 x i4g2 x i4e [i4f]) under various light conditions. Mutants lacking both eIFiso4G isoforms showed the most obvious phenotypic differences from the wild type. Two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to identify changes in protein levels in plants lacking eIFiso4G. Four of the proteins identified as measurably decreased and validated by immunoblot analysis were two light harvesting complex binding proteins 1 and 3, Rubisco activase, and carbonic anhydrase. The observed decreased levels for these proteins were not the direct result of decreased transcription or protein instability. Chlorophyll fluorescence induction experiments indicated altered quinone reduction kinetics for the double and triple mutant plants with significant differences observed for absorbance, trapping, and electron transport. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the chloroplasts in mutant plants showed impaired grana stacking and increased accumulation of starch granules consistent with some chloroplast proteins being decreased. Rescue of the i4g1 x i4g2 plant growth phenotype and increased expression of the validated proteins to wild-type levels was obtained by overexpression of eIFiso4G1. These data suggest a direct and specialized role for eIFiso4G in the synthesis of a subset of plant proteins.

Abstract
Cyclophilins (CYPs) belong to a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase family, and were first characterized in mammals as a target of an immunosuppressive drug, cyclosporin A, preventing proinflammatory cytokine production. In Arabidopsis, 29 CYPs and CYP-like proteins are found across all subcellular compartments, involved in various physiological processes including transcriptional regulation, organogenesis, photosynthetic and hormone signaling pathways, stress adaptation and defense responses. These important but diverse activities of CYPs must be reflected by their versatility as cellular and molecular modulators. However, our current knowledge regarding their mode of actions is still far from complete. This review will briefly revisit recent progresses on the roles and mechanisms of CYPs in Arabidopsis studies, and information gaps within, which help understanding the phenotypic and environmental plasticity of plants.

Inner Envelope CHLOROPLAST MANGANESE TRANSPORTER 1 Supports Manganese Homeostasis and Phototrophic Growth in Arabidopsis. MOLECULAR PLANT 2018; 11:943-954.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential catalytic metal in the Mn-cluster that oxidizes water to produce oxygen during photosynthesis. However, the transport protein(s) responsible for Mn2+ import into the chloroplast remains unknown. Here, we report the characterization of Arabidopsis CMT1 (Chloroplast Manganese Transporter 1), an evolutionarily conserved protein in the Uncharacterized Protein Family 0016 (UPF0016), that is required for manganese accumulation into the chloroplast. CMT1 is expressed primarily in green tissues, and its encoded product is localized in the inner envelope membrane of the chloroplast. Disruption of CMT1 in the T-DNA insertional mutant cmt1-1 resulted in stunted plant growth, defective thylakoid stacking, and severe reduction of photosystem II complexes and photosynthetic activity. Consistent with reduced oxygen evolution capacity, the mutant chloroplasts contained less manganese than the wild-type ones. In support of its function as a Mn transporter, CMT1 protein supported the growth and enabled Mn2+ accumulation in the yeast cells of Mn2+-uptake deficient mutant (Δsmf1). Taken together, our results indicate that CMT1 functions as an inner envelope Mn transporter responsible for chloroplast Mn2+ uptake.

Abstract
Photosystem II (PSII) reaction center protein D1 is encoded by chloroplast gene psbA and is crucial to the biogenesis and functional maintenance of PSII. D1 proteins are highly dynamic under varying light conditions and thus require efficient synthesis, but the mechanism remains poorly understood. We reported that Arabidopsis LPE1 directly binds to the 5′ UTR of psbA mRNA in a light-dependent manner through a redox-based mechanism and facilitates the association of HCF173 with psbA mRNA to regulate D1 translation. These findings fill a major gap in our understanding of the mechanism of light-regulated D1 synthesis in higher plants and imply that higher plants and primitive photosynthetic organisms share conserved mechanisms but use distinct regulators to regulate biogenesis of PSII subunits. Photosystem II (PSII), a multisubunit protein complex of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, functions as a water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase, which is vital to the initiation of photosynthesis and electron transport. Although the structure, composition, and function of PSII are well understood, the mechanism of PSII biogenesis remains largely elusive. Here, we identified a nuclear-encoded pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein LOW PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY 1 (LPE1; encoded by At3g46610) in Arabidopsis, which plays a crucial role in PSII biogenesis. LPE1 is exclusively targeted to chloroplasts and directly binds to the 5′ UTR of psbA mRNA which encodes the PSII reaction center protein D1. The loss of LPE1 results in less efficient loading of ribosome on the psbA mRNA and great synthesis defects in D1 protein. We further found that LPE1 interacts with a known regulator of psbA mRNA translation HIGH CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE 173 (HCF173) and facilitates the association of HCF173 with psbA mRNA. More interestingly, our results indicate that LPE1 associates with psbA mRNA in a light-dependent manner through a redox-based mechanism. This study enhances our understanding of the mechanism of light-regulated D1 synthesis, providing important insight into PSII biogenesis and the functional maintenance of efficient photosynthesis in higher plants.

Abstract
To reveal the integrative biochemical networks of wheat leaves in response to water deficient conditions, proteomics and metabolomics were applied to two spring-wheat cultivars (Bahar, drought-susceptible; Kavir, drought-tolerant). Drought stress induced detrimental effects on Bahar leaf proteome, resulting in a severe decrease of total protein content, with impairments mainly in photosynthetic proteins and in enzymes involved in sugar and nitrogen metabolism, as well as in the capacity of detoxifying harmful molecules. On the contrary, only minor perturbations were observed at the protein level in Kavir stressed leaves. Metabolome analysis indicated amino acids, organic acids, and sugars as the main metabolites changed in abundance upon water deficiency. In particular, Bahar cv showed increased levels in proline, methionine, arginine, lysine, aromatic and branched chain amino acids. Tryptophan accumulation via shikimate pathway seems to sustain auxin production (indoleacrylic acid), whereas glutamate reduction is reasonably linked to polyamine (spermine) synthesis. Kavir metabolome was affected by drought stress to a less extent with only two pathways significantly changed, one of them being purine metabolism. These results comprehensively provide a framework for better understanding the mechanisms that govern plant cell response to drought stress, with insights into molecules that can be used for crop improvement projects.

Abstract
Cyclophilins (CyPs), a member of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases), are ubiquitously distributed in organisms such as bacteria, yeast, plants and animals. CyPs have diverse biological functions, with some exhibiting antifungal and antiviral activities. In this study, Panax ginseng cyclophilin (pgCyP), a novel gene encoding an antifungal protein from Panax ginseng, was cloned, and its protein product was expressed in Escherichia coli, and then fractionated by affinity chromatography. The open reading frame of the pgCyP full-length coding sequence was found to encode a single-domain CyP-like protein of 174 amino residues with a calculated molecular weight of 18.7 kDa. The pGEX system was used to express pgCyP fused to glutathione S-transferase. After affinity purification, the protein showed a strong fungal resistance effect on Phytophthora cactorum. In addition, pgCyP showed high PPIase activity. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first successful effort to clone and characterize a CyP-like protein gene from Panax ginseng.

Abstract
Despite our increasingly sophisticated understanding of mechanisms ensuring efficient photosynthesis under laboratory-controlled light conditions, less is known about the regulation of photosynthesis under fluctuating light. This is important because-in nature-photosynthetic organisms experience rapid and extreme changes in sunlight, potentially causing deleterious effects on photosynthetic efficiency and productivity. Here we report that the chloroplast thylakoid lumenal protein MAINTENANCE OF PHOTOSYSTEM II UNDER HIGH LIGHT 2 (MPH2; encoded by At4g02530) is required for growth acclimation of Arabidopsis thaliana plants under controlled photoinhibitory light and fluctuating light environments. Evidence is presented that mph2 mutant light stress susceptibility results from a defect in photosystem II (PSII) repair, and our results are consistent with the hypothesis that MPH2 is involved in disassembling monomeric complexes during regeneration of dimeric functional PSII supercomplexes. Moreover, mph2-and previously characterized PSII repair-defective mutants-exhibited reduced growth under fluctuating light conditions, while PSII photoprotection-impaired mutants did not. These findings suggest that repair is not only required for PSII maintenance under static high-irradiance light conditions but is also a regulatory mechanism facilitating photosynthetic adaptation under fluctuating light environments. This work has implications for improvement of agricultural plant productivity through engineering PSII repair.

Abstract
Cyclophilins (CYPs) are a group of ubiquitous proteins characterized by their ability to bind to the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A. The CYP family occurs in a wide range of organisms and contains a conserved peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase domain. In addition to fulfilling a basic role in protein folding, CYPs may also play diverse important roles, e.g. in protein degradation, mRNA processing, development, and stress responses. We performed a genome-wide database survey and identified a total of 94 CYP genes encoding 91 distinct proteins. Sequence alignment analysis of the putative BnCYP cyclophilin-like domains revealed highly conserved motifs. By using RNA-Seq, we could verify the presence of 77 BnCYP genes under control conditions. To identify phloem-specific BnCYP proteins in a complementary approach, we used LC-MS/MS to determine protein abundances in leaf and phloem extracts. We detected 26 BnCYPs in total with 12 being unique to phloem sap. Our analysis provides the basis for future studies concentrating on the functional characterization of individual members of this gene family in a plant of dual importance: as a crop and a model system for polyploidization and long-distance signalling.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Plant protoplasts are widely used for genetic manipulation and functional studies in transient expression systems. However, little is known about the molecular pathways involved in a cell response to the combined stress factors resulted from protoplast generation. Plants often face more than one type of stress at a time, and how plants respond to combined stress factors is therefore of great interest. Here, we used protoplasts of the moss Physcomitrella patens as a model to study the effects of short-term stress on the chloroplast proteome. Using label-free comparative quantitative proteomic analysis (SWATH-MS), we quantified 479 chloroplast proteins, 219 of which showed a more than 1.4-fold change in abundance in protoplasts. We additionally quantified 1451 chloroplast proteins using emPAI. We observed degradation of a significant portion of the chloroplast proteome following the first hour of stress imposed by the protoplast isolation process. Electron-transport chain (ETC) components underwent the heaviest degradation, resulting in the decline of photosynthetic activity. We also compared the proteome changes to those in the transcriptional level of nuclear-encoded chloroplast genes. Globally, the levels of the quantified proteins and their corresponding mRNAs showed limited correlation. Genes involved in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and components of the outer chloroplast membrane showed decreases in both transcript and protein abundance. However, proteins like dehydroascorbate reductase 1 and 2-cys peroxiredoxin B responsible for ROS detoxification increased in abundance. Further, genes such as thylakoid ascorbate peroxidase were induced at the transcriptional level but down-regulated at the proteomic level. Together, our results demonstrate that the initial chloroplast reaction to stress is due changes at the proteomic level.

Abstract
The ability of photosystem (PS) II to catalyze the light-driven oxidation of water comes along with its vulnerability to oxidative damage, in particular of the D1 core subunit. Photodamaged PSII undergoes repair in a multi-step process involving (i) reversible phosphorylation of PSII core subunits; (ii) monomerization and lateral migration of the PSII core from grana to stroma thylakoids; (iii) partial disassembly of PSII; (iv) proteolytic degradation of damaged D1; (v) replacement of damaged D1 protein with a new copy; (vi) reassembly of PSII monomers and migration back to grana thylakoids for dimerization and supercomplex assembly. Here we review the current knowledge on the PSII repair cycle.
