Abstract
The thiol redox state is a decisive functional characteristic of proteins in cell biology. Plasmatic cell compartments maintain a thiol-based redox regulatory network linked to the glutathione/glutathione disulfide couple (GSH/GSSG) and the NAD(P)H system. The basic network constituents are known and in vivo cell imaging with gene-encoded probes have revealed insight into the dynamics of the [GSH]2/[GSSG] redox potential, cellular H2O2 and NAD(P)H+H+ amounts in dependence on metabolic and environmental cues. Less understood is the contribution and interaction of the network components, also because of compensatory reactions in genetic approaches. Reconstituting the cytosolic network of Arabidopsis thaliana in vitro from fifteen recombinant proteins at in vivo concentrations, namely glutathione peroxidase-like (GPXL), peroxiredoxins (PRX), glutaredoxins (GRX), thioredoxins, NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase A and glutathione reductase and applying Grx1-roGFP2 or roGFP2-Orp1 as dynamic sensors, allowed for monitoring the response to a single H2O2 pulse. The major change in thiol oxidation as quantified by mass spectrometry-based proteomics occurred in relevant peptides of GPXL, and to a lesser extent of PRX, while other Cys-containing peptides only showed small changes in their redox state and protection. Titration of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) into the system together with dehydroascorbate reductase lowered the oxidation of the fluorescent sensors in the network but was unable to suppress it. The results demonstrate the power of the network to detoxify H2O2, the partially independent branches of electron flow with significance for specific cell signaling and the importance of APX to modulate the signaling without suppressing it and shifting the burden to glutathione oxidation.

Abstract
Various chloroplast proteins are activated/deactivated during the light/dark cycle via the redox regulation system. Although the photosynthetic electron transport chain provides reducing power to redox-sensitive proteins via the ferredoxin (Fd)/thioredoxin (Trx) pathway for their enzymatic activity control, how the redox states of individual proteins are linked to electron transport efficiency remains uncharacterized. Here we addressed this subject with a focus on the photosynthetic induction phase. We used Arabidopsis plants, in which the amount of Fd-Trx reductase (FTR), a core component in the Fd/Trx pathway, was genetically altered. Several chloroplast proteins showed different redox shift responses toward low- and high-light treatments. The light-dependent reduction of Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) was partially impaired in the FTR-knockdown ftrb mutant. Simultaneous analyses of chlorophyll fluorescence and P700 absorbance change indicated that the induction of the electron transport reactions was delayed in the ftrb mutant. FTR overexpression also mildly affected the reduction patterns of FBPase and SBPase under high-light conditions, which were accompanied by the modification of electron transport properties. Accordingly, the redox states of FBPase and SBPase were linearly correlated with electron transport rates. In contrast, ATP synthase was highly reduced even when electron transport reactions were not fully induced. Furthermore, the redox response of proton gradient regulation 5-like photosynthetic phenotype1 (PGRL1; a protein involved in cyclic electron transport) did not correlate with electron transport rates. Our results provide insights into the working dynamics of the redox regulation system and their differential associations with photosynthetic electron transport efficiency.

Abstract
Thioredoxin (Trx) is a small redox mediator protein involved in the regulation of various chloroplast functions by modulating the redox state of Trx target proteins in ever-changing light environments. Using reducing equivalents produced by the photosynthetic electron transport chain, Trx reduces the disulfide bonds on target proteins and generally turns on their activities. While the details of the protein-reduction mechanism by Trx have been well investigated, the oxidation mechanism that counteracts it has long been unclear. We have recently demonstrated that Trx-like proteins such as Trx-like2 and atypical Cys His-rich Trx (ACHT) can function as protein oxidation factors in chloroplasts. Our latest study on transgenic Arabidopsis plants indicated that the ACHT isoform ACHT2 is involved in regulating the thermal dissipation of light energy. To understand the role of ACHT2 in vivo, we characterized phenotypic changes specifically caused by ACHT2 overexpression in Arabidopsis. ACHT2-overexpressing plants showed growth defects, especially under high light conditions. This growth phenotype was accompanied with the impaired reductive activation of Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes, enhanced thermal dissipation of light energy, and decreased photosystem II activity. Overall, ACHT2 overexpression promoted protein oxidation that led to the inadequate activation of Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes in light and consequently induced negative feedback control of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. This study highlights the importance of the balance between protein reduction and oxidation in chloroplasts for optimal photosynthetic performance and plant growth.

Abstract
Malate dehydrogenases (MDHs) catalyze a reversible NAD(P)-dependent-oxidoreductase reaction that plays an important role in central metabolism and redox homeostasis of plant cells. Recent studies suggest a moonlighting function of plastidial NAD-dependent MDH (plNAD-MDH; EC 1.1.1.37) in plastid biogenesis, independent of its enzyme activity. In this study, redox effects on activity and conformation of recombinant plNAD-MDH from Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated. We show that reduced plNAD-MDH is active while it is inhibited upon oxidation. Interestingly, the presence of its cofactors NAD+ and NADH could prevent oxidative inhibition of plNAD-MDH. In addition, a conformational change upon oxidation could be observed via non-reducing SDS-PAGE. Both effects, its inhibition and conformational change, were reversible by re-reduction. Further investigation of single cysteine substitutions and mass spectrometry revealed that oxidation of plNAD-MDH leads to oxidation of all four cysteine residues. However, cysteine oxidation of C129 leads to inhibition of plNAD-MDH activity and oxidation of C147 induces its conformational change. In contrast, oxidation of C190 and C333 does not affect plNAD-MDH activity or structure. Our results demonstrate that plNAD-MDH activity can be reversibly inhibited, but not inactivated, by cysteine oxidation and might be co-regulated by the availability of its cofactors in vivo.

Abstract
The objective of the current review is to summarize the current state of optical methods in redox biology. It consists of two parts, the first is dedicated to genetically encoded fluorescent indicators and the second to Raman spectroscopy. In the first part, we provide a detailed classification of the currently available redox biosensors based on their target analytes. We thoroughly discuss the main architecture types of these proteins, the underlying engineering strategies for their development, the biochemical properties of existing tools and their advantages and disadvantages from a practical point of view. Particular attention is paid to fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy as a possible readout technique, since it is less prone to certain artifacts than traditional intensiometric measurements. In the second part, the characteristic Raman peaks of the most important redox intermediates are listed, and examples of how this knowledge can be implemented in biological studies are given. This part covers such fields as estimation of the redox states and concentrations of Fe-S clusters, cytochromes, other heme-containing proteins, oxidative derivatives of thiols, lipids, and nucleotides. Finally, we touch on the issue of multiparameter imaging, in which biosensors are combined with other visualization methods for simultaneous assessment of several cellular parameters.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as undesirable by-products of metabolism in various cellular compartments, especially in response to unfavorable environmental conditions, throughout the life cycle of plants. Stress-induced ROS production disrupts normal cellular function and leads to oxidative damage. To cope with excessive ROS, plants are equipped with a sophisticated antioxidative defense system consisting of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components that scavenge ROS or inhibit their harmful effects on biomolecules. Nonetheless, when maintained at relatively low levels, ROS act as signaling molecules that regulate plant growth, development, and adaptation to adverse conditions. Here, we provide an overview of current approaches for detecting ROS. We also discuss recent advances in understanding ROS signaling, ROS metabolism, and the roles of ROS in plant growth and responses to various abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK) are two enzymes of the Calvin Benson cycle that stand out for some peculiar properties they have in common: (i) they both use the products of light reactions for catalysis (NADPH for GAPDH, ATP for PRK), (ii) they are both light-regulated through thioredoxins and (iii) they are both involved in the formation of regulatory supramolecular complexes in the dark or low photosynthetic conditions, with or without the regulatory protein CP12. In the complexes, enzymes are transiently inactivated but ready to recover full activity after complex dissociation. Fully active GAPDH and PRK are in large excess for the functioning of the Calvin-Benson cycle, but they can limit the cycle upon complex formation. Complex dissociation contributes to photosynthetic induction. CP12 also controls PRK concentration in model photosynthetic organisms like Arabidopsis thaliana and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The review combines in vivo and in vitro data into an integrated physiological view of the role of GAPDH and PRK dark complexes in the regulation of photosynthesis.

Abstract
Plant acclimation to changing environmental conditions involves the interaction of different signalling molecules, including reactive oxygen species and hormones. Redox regulation exerted by thioredoxin (TRX) and glutaredoxin (GRX), two oxidoreductases, is emerging as a specific point of control mediating signal transduction pathways associated with plant growth and stress response. Phytohormones are messengers that coordinate plant cell activities to regulate growth, defence, and productivity, although their cross-talk with components of the redox system is less known. The present review focuses on our current knowledge of the interplay that occurs between TRX and GRX systems and phytohormonal signalling pathways in connection with the control of plant development and stress responses. Here, we consider the regulation that phytohormones exert on TRX and GRX systems, as well as the involvement of these redox proteins in the control of phytohormone-mediated signalling pathways.

Abstract
Plants have evolved photosynthetic regulatory mechanisms to maintain homeostasis in response to light changes during diurnal transitions and those caused by passing clouds or by wind. One such adaptation directs photosynthetic electron flow to a cyclic pathway to alleviate excess energy surges. Here, we assign a function to regulatory cysteines of PGR5-like protein 1A (PGRL1A), a constituent of the PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION5 (PGR5)-dependent cyclic electron flow (CEF) pathway. During step increases from darkness to low light intensity in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the intermolecular disulfide of the PGRL1A 59-kDa complex was reduced transiently within seconds to the 28-kDa form. In contrast, step increases from darkness to high light stimulated a stable, partially reduced redox state in PGRL1A. Mutations of 2 cysteines in PGRL1A, Cys82 and Cys183, resulted in a constitutively pseudo-reduced state. The mutant displayed higher proton motive force (PMF) and nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) than the wild type (WT) and showed altered donor and acceptor dynamic flow around PSI. These changes were found to correspond with the redox state of PGRL1A. Continuous light regimes did not affect mutant growth compared to the WT. However, under fluctuating regimes of high light, the mutant showed better growth than the WT. In contrast, in fluctuating regimes of low light, the mutant displayed a growth penalty that can be attributed to constant stimulation of CEF under low light. Treatment with photosynthetic inhibitors indicated that PGRL1A redox state control depends on the penultimate Fd redox state. Our results showed that redox state changes in PGRL1A are crucial to optimize photosynthesis.

Abstract
Cysteine thiols are susceptible to various oxidative posttranslational modifications (PTMs) due to their high chemical reactivity. Thiol-based PTMs play a crucial role in regulating protein functions and are key contributors to cellular redox signaling. Although reversible thiol-based PTMs, such as disulfide bond formation, S-nitrosylation, and S-glutathionylation, have been extensively studied for their roles in redox regulation, thiol sulfinic acid (-SO2 H) modification is often perceived as irreversible and of marginal significance in redox signaling. Here, we revisit this narrow perspective and shed light on the redox regulatory roles of -SO2 H in plant stress signaling. We provide an overview of protein sulfinylation in plants, delving into the roles of hydrogen peroxide-mediated and plant cysteine oxidase-catalyzed formation of -SO2 H, highlighting the involvement of -SO2 H in specific regulatory signaling pathways. Additionally, we compile the existing knowledge of the -SO2 H reducing enzyme, sulfiredoxin, offering insights into its molecular mechanisms and biological relevance. We further summarize current proteomic techniques for detecting -SO2 H and furnish a list of experimentally validated cysteine -SO2 H sites across various species, discussing their functional consequences. This review aims to spark new insights and discussions that lead to further investigations into the functional significance of protein -SO2 H-based redox signaling in plants.

Abstract
Autophagy is one of the main degradative pathways used by eukaryotic organisms to eliminate useless or damaged intracellular material to maintain cellular homeostasis under stress conditions. Mounting evidence indicates a strong interplay between the generation of reactive oxygen species and the activation of autophagy. Although a tight redox regulation of autophagy has been shown in several organisms, including microalgae, the molecular mechanisms underlying this control remain poorly understood. In this study, we have performed an in-depth in vitro and in vivo redox characterization of ATG3, an E2-activating enzyme involved in ATG8 lipidation and autophagosome formation, from 2 evolutionary distant unicellular model organisms: the green microalga Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) and the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results indicated that ATG3 activity from both organisms is subjected to redox regulation since these proteins require reducing equivalents to transfer ATG8 to the phospholipid phosphatidylethanolamine. We established the catalytic Cys of ATG3 as a redox target in algal and yeast proteins and showed that the oxidoreductase thioredoxin efficiently reduces ATG3. Moreover, in vivo studies revealed that the redox state of ATG3 from Chlamydomonas undergoes profound changes under autophagy-activating stress conditions, such as the absence of photoprotective carotenoids, the inhibition of fatty acid synthesis, or high light irradiance. Thus, our results indicate that the redox-mediated activation of ATG3 regulates ATG8 lipidation under oxidative stress conditions in this model microalga.

Abstract
Plants cope with sudden increases in light intensity through various photoprotective mechanisms. Redox regulation by thioredoxin (Trx) systems also contributes to this process. Whereas the functions of f- and m-type Trxs in response to such fluctuating light conditions have been extensively investigated, those of x- and y-type Trxs are largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the trx x single, trx y1 trx y2 double, and trx x trx y1 trx y2 triple mutants in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). A detailed analysis of photosynthesis revealed changes in photosystem I (PSI) parameters under low light in trx x and trx x trx y1 trx y2. The electron acceptor side of PSI was more reduced in these mutants than in the wild type. This mutant phenotype was more pronounced under fluctuating light conditions. During both low- and high-light phases, the PSI acceptor side was largely limited in trx x and trx x trx y1 trx y2. After fluctuating light treatment, we observed more severe PSI photoinhibition in trx x and trx x trx y1 trx y2 than in the wild type. Furthermore, when grown under fluctuating light conditions, trx x and trx x trx y1 trx y2 plants showed impaired growth and decreased level of PSI subunits. These results suggest that Trx x and Trx y prevent redox imbalance on the PSI acceptor side, which is required to protect PSI from photoinhibition, especially under fluctuating light. We also propose that Trx x and Trx y contribute to maintaining the redox balance even under constant low-light conditions to prepare for sudden increases in light intensity.

Abstract
Cyclic electron transfer (CET) predominates when NADP+ is at basal levels, early in photosynthetic induction; however, the mechanism underlying the subsequent supply of NADP+ to fully drive steady-state linear electron transfer remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether CET is involved in de novo NADP+ supply in Arabidopsis thaliana and measured chloroplastic NADP dynamics to evaluate responsiveness to variable light, photochemical inhibitors, darkness, and CET activity. The sum of oxidized and reduced forms shows that levels of NADP and NAD increase and decrease, respectively, in response to light; levels of NADP and NAD decrease and increase in the dark, respectively. Moreover, consistent with the pH change in the stroma, the pH preference of chloroplast NAD+ phosphorylation and NADP+ dephosphorylation is alkaline and weakly acidic, respectively. Furthermore, CET is correlated with upregulation of light-responsive NADP level increases and downregulation of dark-responsive NADP level reductions. These findings are consistent with CET helping to regulate NADP pool size via stromal pH regulation under fluctuating light conditions.

Abstract
Thiol/disulfide-based redox regulation in plant chloroplasts is essential for controlling the activity of target proteins in response to light signals. One of the examples of such a role in chloroplasts is the activity of the chloroplast ATP synthase (CFoCF1), which is regulated by the redox state of the CF1γ subunit and involves two cysteines in its central domain. To investigate the mechanism underlying the oxidation of CF1γ and other chloroplast redox-regulated enzymes in the dark, we characterized the Arabidopsis cbsx2 mutant, which was isolated based on its altered NPQ (non-photochemical quenching) induction upon illumination. Whereas in dark-adapted WT plants CF1γ was completely oxidized, a small amount of CF1γ remained in the reduced state in cbsx2 under the same conditions. In this mutant, reduction of CF1γ was not affected in the light, but its oxidation was less efficient during a transition from light to darkness. The redox states of the Calvin cycle enzymes FBPase and SBPase in cbsx2 were similar to those of CF1γ during light/dark transitions. Affinity purification and subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry showed that the components of the ferredoxin-thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin (FTR-Trx) and NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTRC) systems as well as several 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) can be co-purified with CBSX2. In addition to the thioredoxins, yeast two-hybrid analysis showed that CBSX2 also interacts with NTRC. Taken together, our results suggest that CBSX2 participates in the oxidation of the chloroplast redox-regulated enzymes in darkness, probably through regulation of the activity of chloroplast redox systems in vivo.

Abstract
The monothiol glutaredoxin GrxD plays an essential role in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) and the biocontrol capacity of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24. However, the detailed mechanism underlying GrxD-mediated activation of the production of 2,4-DAPG remains unclear. Here, we found that GrxD directly interacted with IbaG, a BolA protein family member. The mutation of ibaG significantly decreased 2,4-DAPG production. Furthermore, expressing ibaG restored the production of 2,4-DAPG in the grxD ibaG double mutant to wild-type levels in the presence of dithiothreitol, suggesting that IbaG was required for GrxD-mediated regulation of 2,4-DAPG production. Transcriptome sequencing analyses revealed that IbaG plays a global role in gene regulation by affecting the expression of numerous genes throughout the genome. We also demonstrated that IbaG is an important regulator of several cellular processes, including swarming motility, biofilm formation, siderophore production, and acid resistance. Altogether, our data suggest that IbaG has an essential role in 2,4-DAPG production, motility, and biofilm formation. We also propose a regulatory mechanism linking GrxD to 2,4-DAPG production via IbaG. IMPORTANCE The production of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) is positively influenced by the monothiol glutaredoxin GrxD in Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying GrxD-mediated regulation of 2,4-DAPG biosynthesis is mostly uncharacterized. Here, we show the function of the BolA-like protein IbaG in 2,4-DAPG biosynthesis. We also demonstrate that GrxD directly interacts with IbaG and influences the redox state of IbaG. Altogether, this work provides new insights into the role of the highly conserved IbaG protein in regulating 2,4-DAPG synthesis, biofilm formation, and other biocontrol traits of P. fluorescens.

Abstract
Three soluble type two peroxiredoxins (PRXIIB, C, D) and two glutathione peroxidase-like enzymes (GPXL2, 8) reside in the cytosol of Arabidopsis thaliana cells and function both as thiol-dependent antioxidants and redox sensors. Their primary substrate is H2 O2 , but they also accept other peroxides with a distinct preference between PRXII and GPXL. Less known is their regeneration specificity in the light of the large set of thiol reductases, namely eight annotated thioredoxin h isoforms (TRXh1-5, 7-9), a few TRX-like proteins, including CxxS1 (formerly TRXh6) and several glutaredoxins (GRX) associated with the cytosol. This study addressed this open question by in vitro enzyme tests using recombinant protein. GPXL2 and 8 exclusively accepted electrons from the TRX system, namely TRXh1-5 and TDX, while PRXIIB/C/D were efficiently regenerated with GRXC1 and C2 but not the TRX-like protein Picot1. They showed significant but low activity (<3% of GRXC2) with TRXh1-5 and TDX. A similar reduction efficiency with TRX was seen in the insulin assay, only TDX was less active. Finally, the reduction of oxidized cytosolic malate dehydrogenase 1, as measured by regained activity, showed an extremely broad ability to accept electrons from different TRXs and GRXs. The results demonstrate redundancy and specificity in the redox regulatory network of the cytosol.

Abstract
Redox regulation of plastid gene expression and different metabolic pathways promotes many activities of redox-sensitive proteins. We address the question of how the plastid redox state and the contributing reducing enzymes control the enzymes of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (TBS). In higher plants, this metabolic pathway serves to produce chlorophyll and heme, among other essential end products. Because of the strictly light-dependent synthesis of chlorophyll, tight control of TBS requires a diurnal balanced supply of the precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to prevent the accumulation of photoreactive metabolic intermediates in darkness. We report on some TBS enzymes that accumulate in a light intensity-dependent manner, and their contents decrease under oxidizing conditions of darkness, low light conditions, or in the absence of NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTRC) and thioredoxin f1 (TRX-f1). Analysis of single and double trxf1 and ntrc mutants revealed a decreased content of the early TBS enzymes glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) and 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) instead of an exclusive decrease in enzyme activity. This effect was dependent on light conditions and strongly attenuated after transfer to high light intensities. Thus, it is suggested that a deficiency of plastid-localized thiol-redox transmitters leads to enhanced degradation of TBS enzymes rather than being directly caused by lower catalytic activity. The effects of the proteolytic activity of the Clp protease on TBS enzymes were studied by using Clp subunit-deficient mutants. The simultaneous lack of TRX and Clp activities in double mutants confirms the Clp-induced degradation of some TBS proteins in the absence of reductive activity of TRXs. In addition, we verified previous observations that decreased chlorophyll and heme levels in ntrc could be reverted to WT levels in the ntrc/Δ2cp triple mutant. The decreased synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen in ntrc was completely restored in ntrc/Δ2cp and correlated with WT-like levels of GluTR, ALAD, and other TBS proteins.

Abstract
Oxidizing signals mediated by the thiol-dependent peroxidase activity of 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (PRXs) plays an essential role in fine-tuning chloroplast redox balance in response to changes in light intensity, a function that depends on NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC). In addition, plant chloroplasts are equipped with glutathione peroxidases (GPXs), thiol-dependent peroxidases that rely on thioredoxins (TRXs). Despite having a similar reaction mechanism than 2-Cys PRXs, the contribution of oxidizing signals mediated by GPXs to the chloroplast redox homeostasis remains poorly known. To address this issue, we have generated the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) double mutant gpx1gpx7, which is devoid of the two GPXs, 1 and 7, localized in the chloroplast. Furthermore, to analyze the functional relationship of chloroplast GPXs with the NTRC-2-Cys PRXs redox system, the 2cpab-gpx1gpx7 and ntrc-gpx1gpx7 mutants were generated. The gpx1gpx7 mutant displayed wild type-like phenotype indicating that chloroplast GPXs are dispensable for plant growth at least under standard conditions. However, the 2cpab-gpx1gpx7 showed more retarded growth than the 2cpab mutant. The simultaneous lack of 2-Cys PRXs and GPXs affected PSII performance and caused higher delay of enzyme oxidation in the dark. In contrast, the ntrc-gpx1gpx7 mutant combining the lack of NTRC and chloroplast GPXs behaved like the ntrc mutant indicating that the contribution of GPXs to chloroplast redox homeostasis is independent of NTRC. Further supporting this notion, in vitro assays showed that GPXs are not reduced by NTRC but by TRX y2. Based on these results, we propose a role for GPXs in the chloroplast redox hierarchy.

Abstract
The redox couple formed by NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC) and 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) allows fine-tuning chloroplast performance in response to light intensity changes. Accordingly, the Arabidopsis 2cpab mutant lacking 2-Cys Prxs shows growth inhibition and sensitivity to light stress. However, this mutant also shows defective post-germinative growth, suggesting a relevant role of plastid redox systems in seed development, which is so far unknown. To address this issue, we first analyzed the pattern of expression of NTRC and 2-Cys Prxs in developing seeds. Transgenic lines expressing GFP fusions of these proteins showed their expression in developing embryos, which was low at the globular stage and increased at heart and torpedo stages, coincident with embryo chloroplast differentiation, and confirmed the plastid localization of these enzymes. The 2cpab mutant produced white and abortive seeds, which contained lower and altered composition of fatty acids, thus showing the relevance of 2-Cys Prxs in embryogenesis. Most embryos of white and abortive seeds of the 2cpab mutant were arrested at heart and torpedo stages of embryogenesis suggesting an essential function of 2-Cys Prxs in embryo chloroplast differentiation. This phenotype was not recovered by a mutant version of 2-Cys Prx A replacing the peroxidatic Cys by Ser. Neither the lack nor the overexpression of NTRC had any effect on seed development indicating that the function of 2-Cys Prxs at these early stages of development is independent of NTRC, in clear contrast with the operation of these regulatory redox systems in leaves chloroplasts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protein carbonylation is a non-enzymatic and irreversible post-translational modification that occurs naturally in living organisms under the direct or indirect effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In animals, signaling pathways involving numerous carbonylated proteins have been identified, highlighting the dual role of these molecules in ROS signal transduction. In plants, studies on phytohormone signaling (auxin, methyl jasmonate, abscisic acid) have shown that reactive carbonyl species (RCS: acrolein, malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, etc.), derived from the action of ROS on lipids, play important roles in secondary root formation and stomatal closure. However, the carbonylated proteins involved in these signaling pathways remain to be identified. METHODS In this study, we analyzed proteins responsive to carbonylation by exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by profiling the carbonyl proteome extracted from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves after H2O2 treatment. Carbonylated proteins were enriched at the peptide level and analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION We identified 35 and 39 uniquely carbonylated proteins in the untreated and the H2O2-treated plant samples, respectively. In comparison to the control treatment, gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that most of the carbonylated proteins identified in the H2O2-treated plant samples are related to sulfate adenylyl transferases and amidophosphoribosyl transferases involved in the immune system response, defense response, and external stimulus-response. These results indicated that exogenous H2O2 caused a change in the pattern of protein carbonylation in A. thaliana leaves. Protein carbonylation may thus influence the plant transcriptome and metabolism in response to H2O2 and ROS-triggering external stimuli.

Abstract
To ensure efficient photosynthesis, chloroplast proteins need to be flexibly regulated under fluctuating light conditions. Thiol-based redox regulation plays a key role in reductively activating several chloroplast proteins in a light-dependent manner. The ferredoxin (Fd)/thioredoxin (Trx) pathway has long been recognized as the machinery that transfers reducing power generated by photosynthetic electron transport reactions to redox-sensitive target proteins; however, its biological importance remains unclear, because the complete disruption of the Fd/Trx pathway in plants has been unsuccessful to date. Especially, recent identifications of multiple redox-related factors in chloroplasts, as represented by the NADPH-Trx reductase C, have raised a controversial proposal that other redox pathways work redundantly with the Fd/Trx pathway. To address these issues directly, we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to create Arabidopsis mutant plants in which the activity of the Fd/Trx pathway was completely defective. The mutants generated showed severe growth inhibition. Importantly, these mutants almost entirely lost the ability to reduce several redox-sensitive proteins in chloroplast stroma, including four Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes, NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and Rubisco activase, under light conditions. These striking phenotypes were further accompanied by abnormally developed chloroplasts and a drastic decline in photosynthetic efficiency. These results indicate that the Fd/Trx pathway is indispensable for the light-responsive activation of diverse stromal proteins and photoautotrophic growth of plants. Our data also suggest that the ATP synthase is exceptionally reduced by other pathways in a redundant manner. This study provides an important insight into how the chloroplast redox-regulatory system operates in vivo.

The recent advances in plant biology have significantly improved our understanding of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as signaling molecules in the redox regulation of complex cellular processes. In plants, free radicals and non-radicals are prevalent intra- and inter-cellular ROS, catalyzing complex metabolic processes such as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis homeostasis is maintained by thiol-based systems and antioxidative enzymes, which belong to some of the evolutionarily conserved protein families. The molecular and biological functions of redox regulation in photosynthesis are usually to balance the electron transport chain, photosystem II, photosystem I, mesophyll and bundle sheath signaling, and photo-protection regulating plant growth and productivity. Here, we review the recent progress of ROS signaling in photosynthesis. We present a comprehensive comparative bioinformatic analysis of redox regulation in evolutionary distinct photosynthetic cells. Gene expression, phylogenies, sequence alignments, and 3D protein structures in representative algal and plant species revealed conserved key features including functional domains catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions. We then discuss the antioxidant-related ROS signaling and important pathways for achieving homeostasis of photosynthesis. Finally, we highlight the importance of plant responses to stress cues and genetic manipulation of disturbed redox status for balanced and enhanced photosynthetic efficiency and plant productivity.

Abstract
Rapid production of H2O2 is a hallmark of plant responses to diverse pathogens and plays a crucial role in signalling downstream of various receptors that perceive immunogenic patterns. However, mechanisms by which plants sense H2O2 to regulate immunity remain poorly understood. We show that endogenous H2O2 generated upon immune activation is sensed by the thiol peroxidase PRXIIB via oxidation at Cys51, and this is essential for stomatal immunity against Pseudomonas syringae. We further show that in immune-stimulated cells, PRXIIB conjugates via Cys51 with the type 2C protein phosphatase ABA insensitive 2 (ABI2), subsequently transducing H2O2 signal to ABI2. This oxidation dramatically sensitizes H2O2-mediated inhibition of the ABI2 phosphatase activity in vitro and is required for stomatal immunity in plants. Together, our results illustrate a redox relay, with PRXIIB as a sensor for H2O2 and ABI2 as a target protein, that mediates reactive oxygen species signalling during plant immunity.

J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102541.

Abstract
Chloroplast FoF1-ATP synthase (CFoCF1) uses an electrochemical gradient of protons across the thylakoid membrane (ΔμH+) as an energy source in the ATP synthesis reaction. CFoCF1 activity is regulated by the redox state of a Cys pair on its central axis, that is, the γ subunit (CF1-γ). When the ΔμH+ is formed by the photosynthetic electron transfer chain under light conditions, CF1-γ is reduced by thioredoxin (Trx), and the entire CFoCF1 enzyme is activated. The redox regulation of CFoCF1 is a key mechanism underlying the control of ATP synthesis under light conditions. In contrast, the oxidative deactivation process involving CFoCF1 has not been clarified. In the present study, we analyzed the oxidation of CF1-γ by two physiological oxidants in the chloroplast, namely the proteins Trx-like 2 and atypical Cys-His-rich Trx. Using the thylakoid membrane containing the reduced form of CFoCF1, we were able to assess the CF1-γ oxidation ability of these Trx-like proteins. Our kinetic analysis indicated that these proteins oxidized CF1-γ with a higher efficiency than that achieved by a chemical oxidant and typical chloroplast Trxs. Additionally, the CF1-γ oxidation rate due to Trx-like proteins and the affinity between them were changed markedly when ΔμH+ formation across the thylakoid membrane was manipulated artificially. Collectively, these results indicate that the formation status of the ΔμH+ controls the redox regulation of CFoCF1 to prevent energetic disadvantages in plants.

Abstract
Leaf senescence and abscission play crucial role in annual plant adapting to seasonal alteration and climate changes by shortening life cycle and development process in response to abiotic and/or biotic stressors underlying phytohormones and environmental signals. Ethylene and abscisic acid are the major phytohormones that promotes leaf senescence, involving various transcription factors, such as EIN3 (ethylene-insensitive 3) and EIL (ethylene-insensitive 3-like) gene family, controlling leaf senescence through metabolite biosynthesis and signal transduction pathways. However, the roles of EIN3 regulating leaf senescence responding to environmental changes in perennial plant, especially forestry tree, remain unclear. In this study, we found that BpEIN3.1 from a subordinated to EIL3 subclade, is a transcription repressor and regulated light-dependent premature leaf senescence in birch (Betula platyphylla). BpEIN3.1 might inhibits the transcription of BpATPS1 by binding to its promoter. Shading suppressed premature leaf senescence in birch ein3.1 mutant line. Ethylene and abscisic acid biosynthesis were also reduced. In addition, abscisic acid positively regulated the expression of BpEIN3.1. This was demonstrated by the hormone-response element analysis of BpEIN3.1 promoter and its gene expression after the hormone treatments. Moreover, our results showed that abscisic acid is also involved in maintaining homeostasis. The molecular mechanism of leaf senescence provides a possibility to increasing wood production by delaying of leaf senescence.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, superoxide (O2●- ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) are the markers of living cells. Oxygenic photosynthesis produces ROS in abundance, which act as a readout of a functional electron transport system and metabolism. The concept that photosynthetic ROS production is a major driving force in chloroplast to nucleus retrograde signalling is embedded in the literature, as is the role of chloroplasts as environmental sensors. The different complexes and components of the photosynthetic electron transport chain (PETC) regulate O2●- production in relation to light energy availability and the redox state of the stromal Cys-based redox systems. All of the ROS generated in chloroplasts have the potential to act as signals and there are many sulphhydryl-containing proteins and peptides in chloroplasts that have the potential to act as H2 O2 sensors and function in signal transduction. While ROS may directly move out of the chloroplasts to other cellular compartments, ROS signalling pathways can only be triggered if appropriate ROS-sensing proteins are present at or near the site of ROS production. Chloroplast antioxidant systems serve either to propagate these signals or to remove excess ROS that cannot effectively be harnessed in signalling. The key challenge is to understand how regulated ROS delivery from the PETC to the Cys-based redox machinery is organised to transmit redox signals from the environment to the nucleus. Redox changes associated with stromal carbohydrate metabolism also play a key role in chloroplast signalling pathways.

Abstract
The chloroplast protein CP12, which is widespread in photosynthetic organisms, belongs to the intrinsically disordered proteins family. This small protein (80 amino acid residues long) presents a bias in its composition; it is enriched in charged amino acids, has a small number of hydrophobic residues, and has a high proportion of disorder-promoting residues. More precisely, CP12 is a conditionally disordered proteins (CDP) dependent upon the redox state of its four cysteine residues. During the day, reducing conditions prevail in the chloroplast, and CP12 is fully disordered. Under oxidizing conditions (night), its cysteine residues form two disulfide bridges that confer some stability to some structural elements. Like many CDPs, CP12 plays key roles, and its redox-dependent conditional disorder is important for the main function of CP12: the dark/light regulation of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle responsible for CO2 assimilation. Oxidized CP12 binds to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoribulokinase and thereby inhibits their activity. However, recent studies reveal that CP12 may have other functions beyond the CBB cycle regulation. In this review, we report the discovery of this protein, its features as a disordered protein, and the many functions this small protein can have.

Abstract
The thiol group of cysteine (Cys) residues, often present in the active center of the protein, is of particular importance to protein function, which is significantly determined by the redox state of a protein's environment. Our knowledge of different thiol-based oxidative posttranslational modifications (oxiPTMs), which compete for specific protein thiol groups, has increased over the last 10 years. The principal oxiPTMs include S-sulfenylation, S-glutathionylation, S-nitrosation, persulfidation, S-cyanylation and S-acylation. The role of each oxiPTM depends on the redox cellular state, which in turn depends on cellular homeostasis under either optimal or stressful conditions. Under such conditions, the metabolism of molecules such as glutathione, NADPH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen peroxide can be altered, exacerbated and, consequently, outside the cell's control. This review provides a broad overview of these oxiPTMs under physiological and unfavorable conditions, which can regulate the function of target proteins.

Abstract
Redox regulation of chloroplast proteins is necessary to adjust photosynthetic performance with changes in light. The thioredoxin (Trx) system plays a central role in this process. Chloroplast-localized classical Trx is a small redox-active protein that regulates many target proteins by reducing their disulfide bonds in a light-dependent manner. Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking f-type Trx (trx f1f2) or m-type Trx (trx m124-2) have been reported to show delayed reduction of Calvin cycle enzymes. As a result, the trx m124-2 mutant exhibits growth defects. Here, we characterized a quintuple mutant lacking both Trx f and Trx m to investigate the functional complementarity of Trx f and Trx m. The trx f1f2 m124-2 quintuple mutant was newly obtained by crossing, and is analyzed here for the first time. The growth defects of the trx m124-2 mutant were not enhanced by the lack of Trx f. In contrast, deficiencies of both Trxs additively suppressed the reduction of Calvin cycle enzymes, resulting in a further delay in the initiation of photosynthesis. Trx f appeared to be necessary for the rapid activation of the Calvin cycle during the early induction of photosynthesis. To perform effective photosynthesis, plants seem to use both Trxs in a coordinated manner to activate carbon fixation reactions. In contrast, the PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5 (PGR5)-dependent cyclic electron transport around photosystem I was regulated by Trx m, but not by Trx f. Lack of Trx f did not affect the activity and regulation of the PGR5-dependent pathway. Trx f may have a higher specificity for target proteins, whereas Trx m has a variety of target proteins to regulate overall photosynthesis and other metabolic reactions in the chloroplasts.

Abstract
SignificanceIdentifying the intrinsic factors that regulate leaf photosynthetic rate may pave the way toward developing new strategies to enhance carbon assimilation. While the dependence of photosynthesis on the reductive activation of the Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes is well established, the role of oxidative signals in counterbalancing the reductive activity is just beginning to be explored. By developing 2-Cys peroxiredoxin-based genetically encoded biosensors, we demonstrated the induction of photosynthetically derived oxidative signals under habitual light conditions, a phenomenon typically masked by the dominance of the reductive power. Moreover, we unraveled the simultaneous activation of reductive and oxidative signals during photosynthesis induction phase and showed that 2-Cys peroxiredoxin activity attenuates carbon assimilation rates, demonstrating the restrictions imposed on photosynthetic performance by oxidative signals.

Abstract
The sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) can maintain a stable floral chamber temperature when blooming, despite ambient temperature fluctuations; however, the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in floral thermogenesis remain unclear. In the present study, we obtain comprehensive lncRNAs expression profiles from receptacles at five developmental stages by strand-specific RNA sequencing to reveal the lncRNAs regulatory mechanism of the floral thermogenesis of N. nucifera. A total of 22,693 transcripts were identified as lncRNAs, of which approximately 44.78% had stage-specific expression patterns. Subsequently, we identified 2579 differential expressed lncRNAs (DELs) regulating 2367 protein-coding genes mainly involved in receptacle development and reproductive process. Then, lncRNAs with floral thermogenesis identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were mainly related to sulfur metabolism and mitochondrial electron transport chains. Meanwhile, 70 lncRNAs were predicted to act as endogenous target mimics (eTMs) for 29 miRNAs and participate in the regulation of 16 floral thermogenesis-related genes. Our dual luciferase reporter assays indicated that lncRNA LTCONS_00068702 acted as eTMs for miR164a_4 to regulate the expression of TrxL2 gene. These results deepen our understanding of the regulation mechanism of floral thermogenesis by lncRNAs and accumulate data for further research.

Abstract
Thioredoxin (Trx) is a key protein of the redox regulation system in chloroplasts, where it modulates various enzyme activities. Upon light irradiation, Trx reduces the disulfide bonds of Trx target proteins (thereby turning on their activities) using reducing equivalents obtained from the photosynthetic electron transport chain. This reduction process involves a differential response, i.e., some Trx target proteins in the stroma respond slowly to the change in redox condition caused by light/dark changes, while the ATP synthase γ subunit (CF1-γ) located on the surface of thylakoid membrane responds with high sensitivity. The factors that determine this difference in redox kinetics are not yet known, although here, we hypothesize that it is due to each protein’s localization in the chloroplast, i.e., the reducing equivalents generated under light conditions can be transferred more efficiently to the proteins on thylakoid membrane than to stromal proteins. To explore this possibility, we anchored SBPase, one of the stromal Trx target proteins, to the thylakoid membrane in Arabidopsis thaliana. Analyses of the redox behaviors of the anchored and unanchored proteins showed no significant difference in their reduction kinetics, implying that protein sensitivity to redox regulation is determined by other factors.

Abstract
Redox processes are at the heart of universal life processes, such as metabolism, signaling, or folding of secreted proteins. Redox landscapes differ between cell compartments and are strictly controlled to tolerate changing conditions and to avoid cell dysfunction. While a sophisticated antioxidant network counteracts oxidative stress, our understanding of reductive stress responses remains fragmentary. Here, we observed root growth impairment in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants of mitochondrial alternative oxidase 1a (aox1a) in response to the model thiol reductant dithiothreitol (DTT). Mutants of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (ucp1) displayed a similar phenotype indicating that impaired respiratory flexibility led to hypersensitivity. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was enhanced in the mitochondrial mutants and limiting ER oxidoreductin capacity in the aox1a background led to synergistic root growth impairment by DTT, indicating that mitochondrial respiration alleviates reductive ER stress. The observations that DTT triggered nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) reduction in vivo and that the presence of thiols led to electron transport chain activity in isolated mitochondria offer a biochemical framework of mitochondrion-mediated alleviation of thiol-mediated reductive stress. Ablation of transcription factor Arabidopsis NAC domain-containing protein17 (ANAC017) impaired the induction of AOX1a expression by DTT and led to DTT hypersensitivity, revealing that reductive stress tolerance is achieved by adjusting mitochondrial respiratory capacity via retrograde signaling. Our data reveal an unexpected role for mitochondrial respiratory flexibility and retrograde signaling in reductive stress tolerance involving inter-organelle redox crosstalk.

Abstract
Light-dependent activation of chloroplast enzymes is required for the rapid induction of photosynthesis after a shift from dark to light. The thioredoxin (Trx) system plays a central role in this process. In chloroplasts, the Trx system consists of two pathways: the ferredoxin (Fd)/Trx pathway and the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-Trx reductase C (NTRC) pathway. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants defective in either pathway, the photoreduction of thiol enzymes was impaired, resulting in decreased carbon fixation. The close relationship between the Fd/Trx pathway and proton gradient regulation 5 (PGR5)-dependent photosystem I cyclic electron transport (PSI CET) in the induction of photosynthesis was recently elucidated. However, how the PGR5-dependent pathway is involved in the NTRC pathway is unclear, although NTRC has been suggested to physically interact with PGR5. In this study, we analyzed Arabidopsis mutants lacking either the PGR5 or the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like complex (NDH)-dependent PSI CET pathway in the ntrc mutant background. The ntrc pgr5 double mutant suppressed both the growth defects and the high non-photochemical quenching phenotype of the ntrc mutant when grown under long-day conditions. By contrast, the inactivation of NDH activity with the chlororespiratory reduction 2-2 mutant failed to suppress either phenotype. We discovered that the phenotypic rescue of ntrc by pgr5 is caused by the partial restoration of Trx-dependent reduction of thiol enzymes. These results suggest that electron partitioning to the PGR5-dependent pathway and the Trx system needs to be properly regulated for the activation of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle enzymes during the induction of photosynthesis.

Abstract
Plants modulate photosynthesis activity in response to the surrounding environment. It is well known that the redox-responsive protein thioredoxin (Trx) activates photosynthesis-related enzymes in the light. However, the factors involved in deactivating them are not well understood. Recent in vitro experiments suggest that several Trx and Trx-like proteins serve as oxidation factors for Trx-targeted proteins; thus, we examined their functions in vivo. Consequently, we found that f-type Trx and two types of Trx-like proteins, Trx-like 2 and atypical Cys His-rich Trx, were involved in oxidative deactivation of photosynthesis-related enzymes (e.g., fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, Rubisco activase, and the ATP synthase γ-subunit). Thus, this study reveals the functions of oxidation factors in vivo and elucidates the regulation system for photosynthesis in the dark. Thioredoxin (Trx) is a protein that mediates the reducing power transfer from the photosynthetic electron transport system to target enzymes in chloroplasts and regulates their activities. Redox regulation governed by Trx is a system that is central to the adaptation of various chloroplast functions to the ever-changing light environment. However, the factors involved in the opposite reaction (i.e., the oxidation of various enzymes) have yet to be revealed. Recently, it has been suggested that Trx and Trx-like proteins could oxidize Trx-targeted proteins in vitro. To elucidate the in vivo function of these proteins as oxidation factors, we generated mutant plant lines deficient in Trx or Trx-like proteins and studied how the proteins are involved in oxidative regulation in chloroplasts. We found that f-type Trx and two types of Trx-like proteins, Trx-like 2 and atypical Cys His-rich Trx (ACHT), seemed to serve as oxidation factors for Trx-targeted proteins, such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, Rubisco activase, and the γ-subunit of ATP synthase. In addition, ACHT was found to be involved in regulating nonphotochemical quenching, which is the mechanism underlying the thermal dissipation of excess light energy. Overall, these results indicate that Trx and Trx-like proteins regulate chloroplast functions in concert by controlling the redox state of various photosynthesis-related proteins in vivo.

Abstract
Photosynthetically produced electrons provide energy for various metabolic pathways, including carbon reduction. Four Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes and several other plastid proteins are activated in the light by reduction of specific cysteines via thioredoxins, a family of electron transporters operating in redox regulation networks. How does this network link the photosynthetic chain with cellular metabolism? Using a time-resolved redox proteomic method, we have investigated the redox network in vivo during the dark–to–low light transition. We show that redox states of some thioredoxins follow the photosynthetic linear electron transport rate. While some redox targets have kinetics compatible with an equilibrium with one thioredoxin (TRXf), reduction of other proteins shows specific kinetic limitations, allowing fine-tuning of each redox-regulated step of chloroplast metabolism. We identified five new redox-regulated proteins, including proteins involved in Mg2+ transport and 1O2 signaling. Our results provide a system-level functional view of the photosynthetic redox regulation network.

Abstract
In chloroplasts, thiol-dependent redox regulation is linked to light since the disulfide reductase activity of thioredoxins (Trxs) relies on photo-reduced ferredoxin (Fdx). Furthermore, chloroplasts harbor an NADPH-dependent Trx reductase (NTR) with a joint Trx domain, termed NTRC. The activity of these two redox systems is integrated by the redox balance of 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx), which is controlled by NTRC. However, NTRC was proposed to participate in redox regulation of additional targets, prompting inquiry into whether the function of NTRC depends on its capacity to maintain the redox balance of 2-Cys Prxs or by direct redox interaction with chloroplast enzymes. To answer this, we studied the functional relationship of NTRC and 2-Cys Prxs by a comparative analysis of the triple Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutant, ntrc-2cpab, which lacks NTRC and 2-Cys Prxs, and the double mutant 2cpab, which lacks 2-Cys Prxs. These mutants exhibit almost indistinguishable phenotypes: in growth rate, photosynthesis performance, and redox regulation of chloroplast enzymes in response to light and darkness. These results suggest that the most relevant function of NTRC is in controlling the redox balance of 2-Cys Prxs. A comparative transcriptomics analysis confirmed the phenotypic similarity of the two mutants and suggested that the NTRC-2-Cys Prxs system participates in cytosolic protein quality control. We propose that NTRC and 2-Cys Prxs constitute a redox relay, exclusive to photosynthetic organisms that fine-tunes the redox state of chloroplast enzymes in response to light and affects transduction pathways towards the cytosol.

Abstract
Thioredoxins (TRXs) are ubiquitous proteins engaged in the redox regulation of plant metabolism. Whilst the light-dependent TRX-mediated activation of Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes is well documented, the role of extraplastidial TRXs in the control of the mitochondrial (photo)respiratory metabolism has been revealed relatively recently. Mitochondrially located TRX o1 has been identified as a regulator of alternative oxidase, enzymes of, or associated with, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and the mitochondrial dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (mtLPD) involved in photorespiration, the TCA cycle, and the degradation of branched chain amino acids. TRXs are seemingly a major point of metabolic regulation responsible for activating photosynthesis and adjusting mitochondrial photorespiratory metabolism according to the prevailing cellular redox status. Furthermore, TRX-mediated (de)activation of TCA cycle enzymes contributes to explain the non-cyclic flux mode of operation of this cycle in illuminated leaves. Here we provide an overview on the decisive role of TRXs in the coordination of mitochondrial metabolism in the light and provide in silico evidence for other redox-regulated photorespiratory enzymes. We further discuss the consequences of mtLPD regulation beyond photorespiration and provide outstanding questions that should be addressed in future studies to improve our understanding of the role of TRXs in the regulation of central metabolism.

Abstract
Oxygenic phototrophs use the Calvin-Benson cycle to fix CO2 during photosynthesis. In the dark, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK), two enzymes of the Calvin-Benson cycle, form an inactive complex with the regulatory protein CP12, mainly under the control of thioredoxins and pyridine nucleotides. In the light, complex dissociation allows GAPDH and PRK reactivation. The GAPDH/CP12/PRK complex is conserved from cyanobacteria to angiosperms and coexists in land plants with an autoassembling GAPDH that is analogously regulated. With the recently described 3D structures of PRK and GAPDH/CP12/PRK, the structural proteome of this ubiquitous regulatory system has been completed. This outcome opens a new avenue for understanding the regulatory potential of photosynthetic carbon fixation by laying the foundation for its knowledge-based manipulation.

Abstract
Various proteins in plant chloroplasts are subject to thiol-based redox regulation, allowing light-responsive control of chloroplast functions. Most redox-regulated proteins are known to be reductively activated in the light in a thioredoxin (Trx)-dependent manner, but its regulatory network remains incompletely understood. Using a biochemical procedure, we here show that a specific form of phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a novel redox-regulated protein whose activity is suppressed upon reduction. PFK is a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. In Arabidopsis thaliana, PFK5 is targeted to chloroplasts and uniquely contains an insertion sequence harboring two Cys residues (Cys152 and Cys157) in the N-terminal region. Redox shift assays using a thiol-modifying reagent indicated that PFK5 is efficiently reduced by a specific type of Trx, namely, Trx-f. PFK5 enzyme activity was lowered with the Trx-f-dependent reduction. PFK5 redox regulation was bidirectional; PFK5 was also oxidized and activated by the recently identified Trx-like2/2-Cys peroxiredoxin pathway. Mass spectrometry-based peptide mapping analysis revealed that Cys152 and Cys157 are critical for the intramolecular disulfide bond formation in PFK5. The involvement of Cys152 and Cys157 in PFK5 redox regulation was further supported by a site-directed mutagenesis study. PFK5 catalyzes the reverse reaction of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), which is reduced and activated specifically by Trx-f. Our data suggest that PFK5 redox regulation, together with that of FBPase, constitutes a checkpoint for switching light/dark metabolism in chloroplasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flexibility of plant metabolism is supported by redox regulation of enzymes via posttranslational modification of cysteine residues, especially in plastids. Here, the redox states of cysteine residues are partly coupled to the thioredoxin system and partly to the glutathione pool for reduction. Moreover, several plastid enzymes involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and damage repair draw electrons from glutathione. In addition, cysteine residues can be post-translationally modified by forming a mixed disulfide with glutathione (S-glutathionylation), which protects thiol groups from further oxidation and can influence protein activity. However, the evolution of the plastid glutathione-dependent redox network in land plants and the conservation of cysteine residues undergoing S-glutathionylation is largely unclear. RESULTS We analysed the genomes of nine representative model species from streptophyte algae to angiosperms and found that the antioxidant enzymes and redox proteins belonging to the plastid glutathione-dependent redox network are largely conserved, except for lambda- and the closely related iota-glutathione S-transferases. Focussing on glutathione-dependent redox modifications, we screened the literature for target thiols of S-glutathionylation, and found that 151 plastid proteins have been identified as glutathionylation targets, while the exact cysteine residue is only known for 17% (26 proteins), with one or multiple sites per protein, resulting in 37 known S-glutathionylation sites for plastids. However, 38% (14) of the known sites were completely conserved in model species from green algae to flowering plants, with 22% (8) on non-catalytic cysteines. Variable conservation of the remaining sites indicates independent gains and losses of cysteines at the same position during land plant evolution. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the glutathione-dependent redox network in plastids is highly conserved in streptophytes with some variability in scavenging and damage repair enzymes. Our analysis of cysteine conservation suggests that S-glutathionylation in plastids plays an important and yet under-investigated role in redox regulation and stress response.

Abstract
Plants are subjected to fluctuations in light intensity, and this might cause unbalanced photosynthetic electron fluxes and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Electrons needed for ROS detoxification are drawn, at least partially, from the cellular glutathione (GSH) pool via the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. Here, we explore the dynamics of the chloroplastic glutathione redox potential (chl-EGSH) using high-temporal-resolution monitoring of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) lines expressing the reduction-oxidation sensitive green fluorescent protein 2 (roGFP2) in chloroplasts. This was carried out over several days under dynamic environmental conditions and in correlation with PSII operating efficiency. Peaks in chl-EGSH oxidation during dark-to-light and light-to-dark transitions were observed. Increasing light intensities triggered a binary oxidation response, with a threshold around the light saturating point, suggesting two regulated oxidative states of the chl-EGSH. These patterns were not affected in npq1 plants, which are impaired in non-photochemical quenching. Oscillations between the two oxidation states were observed under fluctuating light in WT and npq1 plants, but not in pgr5 plants, suggesting a role for PSI photoinhibition in regulating the chl-EGSH dynamics. Remarkably, pgr5 plants showed an increase in chl-EGSH oxidation during the nights following light stresses, linking daytime photoinhibition and nighttime GSH metabolism. This work provides a systematic view of the dynamics of the in vivo chloroplastic glutathione redox state during varying light conditions.

Abstract
Thioredoxins (TRXs) are ubiquitous disulfide oxidoreductases structured according to a highly conserved fold. TRXs are involved in a myriad of different processes through a common chemical mechanism. Plant TRXs evolved into seven types with diverse subcellular localization and distinct protein target selectivity. Five TRX types coexist in the chloroplast, with yet scarcely described specificities. We solved the crystal structure of a chloroplastic z-type TRX, revealing a conserved TRX fold with an original electrostatic surface potential surrounding the redox site. This recognition surface is distinct from all other known TRX types from plant and non-plant sources and is exclusively conserved in plant z-type TRXs. We show that this electronegative surface endows thioredoxin z (TRXz) with a capacity to activate the photosynthetic Calvin-Benson cycle enzyme phosphoribulokinase. The distinct electronegative surface of TRXz thereby extends the repertoire of TRX-target recognitions.

Abstract
Regulation of enzyme activity based on thiol-disulfide exchange is a regulatory mechanism in which the protein disulfide reductase activity of thioredoxins (TRXs) plays a central role. Plant chloroplasts are equipped with a complex set of up to 20 TRXs and TRX-like proteins, the activity of which is supported by reducing power provided by photosynthetically reduced ferredoxin (FDX) with the participation of a FDX-dependent TRX reductase (FTR). Therefore, the FDX-FTR-TRXs pathway allows the regulation of redox-sensitive chloroplast enzymes in response to light. In addition, chloroplasts contain an NADPH-dependent redox system, termed NTRC, which allows the use of NADPH in the redox network of these organelles. Genetic approaches using mutants of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) in combination with biochemical and physiological studies have shown that both redox systems, NTRC and FDX-FTR-TRXs, participate in fine-tuning chloroplast performance in response to changes in light intensity. Moreover, these studies revealed the participation of 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (2-Cys PRX), a thiol-dependent peroxidase, in the control of the reducing activity of chloroplast TRXs as well as in the rapid oxidation of stromal enzymes upon darkness. In this review, we provide an update on recent findings regarding the redox regulatory network of plant chloroplasts, focusing on the functional relationship of 2-Cys PRXs with NTRC and the FDX-FTR-TRXs redox systems for fine-tuning chloroplast performance in response to changes in light intensity and darkness. Finally, we consider redox regulation as an additional layer of control of the signaling function of the chloroplast.

Abstract
Protein cysteine residues are susceptible to oxidative modifications that can affect protein functions. Proteomic techniques that comprehensively profile the cysteine redoxome, the repertoire of oxidized cysteine residues, are pivotal towards a better understanding of the protein redox signaling. Recent technical advances in chemical tools and redox proteomic strategies have greatly improved selectivity, in vivo applicability, and quantification of the cysteine redoxome. Despite this substantial progress, still many challenges remain. Here, we provide an update on the recent advances in proteomic strategies for cysteine redoxome profiling, compare the advantages and disadvantages of current methods and discuss the outstanding challenges and future perspectives for plant redoxome research.

Abstract
In the chloroplast, Calvin–Benson–Bassham enzymes are active in the reducing environment created in the light by electrons from the photosystems. In the dark, these enzymes are inhibited, mainly caused by oxidation of key regulatory cysteine residues. CP12 is a small protein that plays a role in this regulation with four cysteine residues that undergo a redox transition. Using amide-proton exchange with solvent, measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass-spectrometry, we confirmed that reduced CP12 is intrinsically disordered. Using real-time NMR, we showed that the oxidation of the two disulfide bridges is simultaneous. In oxidized CP12, the C23–C31 pair is in a region that undergoes a conformational exchange in the NMR-intermediate timescale. The C66–C75 pair is in the C-terminus that folds into a stable helical turn. We confirmed that these structural states exist in a physiologically relevant environment: a cell extract from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Consistent with these structural equilibria, the reduction is slower for the C66–C75 pair than for the C23–C31 pair. The redox mid-potentials for the two cysteine pairs differ and are similar to those found for glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoribulokinase, consistent with the regulatory role of CP12.

Abstract
Stomatal movements via the control of gas exchanges determine plant growth in relation to environmental stimuli through a complex signalling network involving reactive oxygen species that lead to post-translational modifications of Cys and Met residues, and alter protein activity and/or conformation. Thiol-reductases (TRs), which include thioredoxins, glutaredoxins (GRXs) and peroxiredoxins (PRXs), participate in signalling pathways through the control of Cys redox status in client proteins. Their involvement in stomatal functioning remains poorly characterized. By performing a mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis, we show that numerous thiol reductases, like PRXs, are highly abundant in guard cells. When investigating various Arabidopsis mutants impaired in the expression of TR genes, no change in stomatal density and index was noticed. In optimal growth conditions, a line deficient in cytosolic NADPH-thioredoxin reductases displayed higher stomatal conductance and lower leaf temperature evaluated by thermal infrared imaging. In contrast, lines deficient in plastidial 2-CysPRXs or type-II GRXs exhibited compared to WT reduced conductance and warmer leaves in optimal conditions, and enhanced stomatal closure in epidermal peels treated with abscisic acid or hydrogen peroxide. Altogether, these data strongly support the contribution of thiol redox switches within the signalling network regulating guard cell movements and stomatal functioning.

Abstract
The chloroplast ATP synthase (CF1Fo) contains a specific feature to the green lineage: a γ-subunit redox domain that contains a cysteine couple which interacts with the torque-transmitting βDELSEED-loop. This thiol modulation equips CF1Fo with an important environmental fine-tuning mechanism. In vitro, disulfide formation in the γ-redox domain slows down the activity of the CF1Fo at low transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient ( [Formula: see text] ), which agrees with its proposed role as chock based on recently solved structure. The γ-dithiol formation at the onset of light is crucial to maximize photosynthetic efficiency since it lowers the [Formula: see text] activation level for ATP synthesis in vitro. Here, we validate these findings in vivo by utilizing absorption spectroscopy in Arabidopsis thaliana. To do so, we monitored the [Formula: see text] present in darkness and identified its mitochondrial sources. By following the fate and components of light-induced extra [Formula: see text] , we estimated the ATP lifetime that lasted up to tens of minutes after long illuminations. Based on the relationship between [Formula: see text] and CF1Fo activity, we conclude that the dithiol configuration in vivo facilitates photosynthesis by driving the same ATP synthesis rate at a significative lower [Formula: see text] than in the γ-disulfide state. The presented in vivo findings are an additional proof of the importance of CF1Fo thiol modulation, reconciling biochemical in vitro studies and structural insights.
