Abstract
Heat shock proteins are important molecular chaperones that are involved in plant growth and stress responses. However, members of the Hsp family have been poorly studied in cassava. In this study, 225 MeHsp genes were identified in the cassava genome, and their genetic structures exhibited relatively conserved features within each subfamily. The 225 MeHsp genes showed random chromosomal distribution, and at least 74 pairs of segmentally duplicated MeHsp genes. Eleven tandemly duplicated MeHsp genes were identified. Cis-element analysis revealed the importance of MeHsps in plant adaptations to the environment. The prediction of protein interactions suggested that MeHsp70-20 may play a critical regulatory role in the interactive network. Furthermore, the expression profiles of MeHsps in different tissues and cell subsets were analyzed using bulk transcriptomics and single-cell transcriptomic data. Several subfamily genes exhibited unique expression patterns in the transcriptome and were selected for detailed analysis of the single-cell transcriptome. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) revealed the expression patterns of these genes under temperature stress, further supporting the prediction of cis-acting elements. This study provides valuable information for understanding the functional characteristics of MeHsp genes and the evolutionary relationships between MeHsps.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 192:2301-2317.

Abstract
Heat stress has a deleterious effect on male fertility in rice (Oryza sativa), but mechanisms to protect against heat stress in rice male gametophytes are poorly understood. Here, we have isolated and characterized a heat-sensitive male-sterile rice mutant, heat shock protein60-3b (oshsp60-3b), that shows normal fertility at optimal temperatures but decreasing fertility as temperatures increase. High temperatures interfered with pollen starch granule formation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging in oshsp60-3b anthers, leading to cell death and pollen abortion. In line with the mutant phenotypes, OsHSP60-3B was rapidly upregulated in response to heat shock and its protein products were localized to the plastid. Critically, overexpression of OsHSP60-3B enhanced the heat tolerance of pollen in transgenic plants. We demonstrated that OsHSP60-3B interacted with FLOURY ENDOSPERM6(FLO6) in plastids, a key component involved in the starch granule formation in the rice pollen. Western blot results showed that FLO6 level was substantially decreased in oshsp60-3b anthers at high temperature, indicating that OsHSP60-3B is required to stabilize FLO6 when temperatures exceed optimal conditions. We suggest that in response to high temperature, OsHSP60-3B interacts with FLO6 to regulate starch granule biogenesis in rice pollen and attenuates ROS levels in anthers to ensure normal male gametophyte development in rice.

Abstract
Co-chaperonins function together with chaperonins to mediate ATP-dependent protein folding in a variety of cellular compartments. Chaperonins are evolutionarily conserved and form two distinct classes, namely, group I and group II chaperonins. GroEL and its co-chaperonin GroES form part of group I and are the archetypal members of this family of protein folding machines. The unique mechanism used by GroEL and GroES to drive protein folding is embedded in the complex architecture of double-ringed complexes, forming two central chambers that undergo conformational rearrangements that enable protein folding to occur. GroES forms a lid over the chamber and in doing so dislodges bound substrate into the chamber, thereby allowing non-native proteins to fold in isolation. GroES also modulates allosteric transitions of GroEL. Group II chaperonins are functionally similar to group I chaperonins but differ in structure and do not require a co-chaperonin. A significant number of bacteria and eukaryotes house multiple chaperonin and co-chaperonin proteins, many of which have acquired additional intracellular and extracellular biological functions. In some instances, co-chaperonins display contrasting functions to those of chaperonins. Human HSP60 (HSPD) continues to play a key role in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, in particular autoimmune diseases and cancer. A greater understanding of the fascinating roles of both intracellular and extracellular Hsp10 on cellular processes will accelerate the development of techniques to treat diseases associated with the chaperonin family.

Abstract
Exposure of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to 4°C imprints a cold memory that modulates gene expression in response to a second (triggering) stress stimulus applied several days later. Comparison of plastid transcriptomes of cold-primed and control plants directly before they were exposed to the triggering stimulus showed downregulation of several subunits of chloroplast NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH) and regulatory subunits of ATP synthase. NDH is, like proton gradient 5 (PGR5)-PGR5-like1 (PGRL1), a thylakoid-embedded, ferredoxin-dependent plastoquinone reductase that protects photosystem I and stabilizes ATP synthesis by cyclic electron transport (CET). Like PGRL1A and PGRL1B transcript levels, ndhA and ndhD transcript levels decreased during the 24-h long priming cold treatment. PGRL1 transcript levels were quickly reset in the postcold phase, but expression of ndhA remained low. The transcript abundances of other ndh genes decreased within the next days. Comparison of thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidase (tAPX)-free and transiently tAPX-overexpressing or tAPX-downregulating Arabidopsis lines demonstrated that ndh expression is suppressed by postcold induction of tAPX. Four days after cold priming, when tAPX protein accumulation was maximal, NDH activity was almost fully lost. Lack of the NdhH-folding chaperonin Crr27 (Cpn60β4), but not lack of the NDH activity modulating subunits NdhM, NdhO, or photosynthetic NDH subcomplex B2 (PnsB2), strengthened priming regulation of zinc finger of A. thaliana 10, which is a nuclear-localized target gene of the tAPX-dependent cold-priming pathway. We conclude that cold-priming modifies chloroplast-to-nucleus stress signaling by tAPX-mediated suppression of NDH-dependent CET and that plastid-encoded NdhH, which controls subcomplex A assembly, is of special importance for memory stabilization.

Abstract
The chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex mediates ferredoxin-dependent plastoquinone reduction in the thylakoid membrane. In angiosperms, chloroplast NDH is composed of five subcomplexes and further forms a supercomplex with photosystem I (PSI). Subcomplex A (SubA) mediates the electron transport and consists of eight subunits encoded by both plastid and nuclear genomes. The assembly of SubA in the stroma has been extensively studied, but it is unclear how SubA is incorporated into the membrane-embedded part of the NDH complex. Here, we isolated a novel Arabidopsis mutant chlororespiratory reduction 16 (crr16) defective in NDH activity. CRR16 encodes a chloroplast-localized P-class pentatricopeptide repeat protein conserved in angiosperms. Transcript analysis of plastid-encoded ndh genes indicated that CRR16 was responsible for the efficient splicing of the group II intron in the ndhA transcript, which encodes a membrane-embedded subunit localized to the connecting site between SubA and the membrane subcomplex (SubM). To analyze the roles of NdhA in the assembly and stability of the NDH complex, the homoplastomic knockout plant of ndhA (ΔndhA) was generated in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). Biochemical analyses of crr16 and ΔndhA plants indicated that NdhA was essential for stabilizing SubA and SubE but not for the accumulation of the other three subcomplexes. Furthermore, the crr16 mutant accumulated the SubA assembly intermediates in the stroma more than that in the wild type. These results suggest that NdhA biosynthesis is essential for the incorporation of SubA into the membrane-embedded part of the NDH complex at the final assembly step of the NDH-PSI supercomplex.

Abstract
Background Sorghum, the C4 dry-land cereal, important for food, fodder, feed and fuel, is a model crop for abiotic stress tolerance with smaller genome size, genetic diversity, and bio-energy traits. The heat shock proteins/chaperonin 60s (HSP60/Cpn60s) assist the plastid proteins, and participate in the folding and aggregation of proteins. However, the functions of HSP60s in abiotic stress tolerance in Sorghum remain unclear. Methods Genome-wide screening and in silico characterization of SbHSP60s were carried out along with tissue and stress-specific expression analysis. Results A total of 36 HSP60 genes were identified in Sorghum bicolor. They were subdivided into 2 groups, the HSP60 and HSP10 co-chaperonins encoded by 30 and 6 genes, respectively. The genes are distributed on all the chromosomes, chromosome 1 being the hot spot with 9 genes. All the HSP60s were found hydrophilic and highly unstable. The HSP60 genes showed a large number of introns, the majority of them with more than 10. Among the 12 paralogs, only 1 was tandem and the remaining 11 segmental, indicating their role in the expansion of SbHSP60s. Majority of the SbHSP60 genes expressed uniformly in leaf while a moderate expression was observed in the root tissues, with the highest expression displayed by SbHSP60-1. From expression analysis, SbHSP60-3 for drought, SbHSP60-9 for salt, SbHSP60-9 and 24 for heat and SbHSP60-3, 9 and SbHSP10-2 have been found implicated for cold stress tolerance and appeared as the key regulatory genes. Conclusion This work paves the way for the utilization of chaperonin family genes for achieving abiotic stress tolerance in plants.

Abstract
The mitochondrial transcription termination factor proteins are nuclear-encoded nucleic acid binders defined by degenerate tandem helical-repeats of ∼30 amino acids. They are found in metazoans and plants where they localize in organelles. In higher plants, the mTERF family comprises ∼30 members and several of these have been linked to plant development and response to abiotic stress. However, knowledge of the molecular basis underlying these physiological effects is scarce. We show that the Arabidopsis mTERF9 protein promotes the accumulation of the 16S and 23S rRNAs in chloroplasts, and interacts predominantly with the 16S rRNA in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, mTERF9 is found in large complexes containing ribosomes and polysomes in chloroplasts. The comprehensive analysis of mTERF9 in vivo protein interactome identified many subunits of the 70S ribosome whose assembly is compromised in the null mterf9 mutant, putative ribosome biogenesis factors and CPN60 chaperonins. Protein interaction assays in yeast revealed that mTERF9 directly interact with these proteins. Our data demonstrate that mTERF9 integrates protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions to promote chloroplast ribosomal assembly and translation. Besides extending our knowledge of mTERF functional repertoire in plants, these findings provide an important insight into the chloroplast ribosome biogenesis.

Abstract
Photosynthesis, an indispensable biological process of plants, produces organic substances for plant growth, during which photorespiration occurs to oxidize carbohydrates to achieve homeostasis. Although the molecular mechanism underlying photosynthesis and photorespiration has been widely explored, the crosstalk between the two processes remains largely unknown. In this study, we isolated and characterized a T-DNA insertion mutant of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) named yellow leaf (yl) with yellowish leaves, retarded growth, and chloroplast collapse that hampered both photosynthesis and photorespiration. Genetic and expression analyses demonstrated that the phenotype of yl was caused by a loss-of-function mutation resulting from a single-copy T-DNA insertion in chaperonin 60α1 (SlCPN60α1). SlCPN60α1 showed high expression levels in leaves and was located in both chloroplasts and mitochondria. Silencing of SlCPN60α1using virus-induced gene silencing and RNA interference mimicked the phenotype of yl. Results of two-dimensional electrophoresis and yeast two-hybrid assays suggest that SlCPN60α1 potentially interacts with proteins that are involved in chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthetic electron transport, and the Calvin cycle, and further affect photosynthesis. Moreover, SlCPN60α1 directly interacted with serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SlSHMT1) in mitochondria, thereby regulating photorespiration in tomato. This study outlines the importance of SlCPN60α1 for both photosynthesis and photorespiration, and provides molecular insights towards plant genetic improvement.

Abstract
Posttranslational protein targeting requires chaperone assistance to direct insertion-competent proteins to integration pathways. Chloroplasts integrate nearly all thylakoid transmembrane proteins posttranslationally, but mechanisms in the stroma that assist their insertion remain largely undefined. Here, we investigated how the chloroplast chaperonin (Cpn60) facilitated the thylakoid integration of Plastidic type I signal peptidase 1 (Plsp1) using in vitro targeting assays. Cpn60 bound Plsp1 in the stroma. In isolated chloroplasts, the membrane integration of imported Plsp1 correlated with its dissociation from Cpn60. When the Plsp1 residues that interacted with Cpn60 were removed, Plsp1 did not integrate into the membrane. These results suggested Cpn60 was an intermediate in thylakoid targeting of Plsp1. In isolated thylakoids, the integration of Plsp1 decreased when Cpn60 was present in excess of cpSecA1, the stromal motor of the cpSec1 translocon that inserts unfolded Plsp1 into the thylakoid. An excess of cpSecA1 favored integration. Introducing Cpn60's obligate substrate RbcL displaced Cpn60-bound Plsp1; then, the released Plsp1 exhibited increased accessibility to cpSec1. These in vitro targeting experiments support a model in which Cpn60 captures and then releases insertion-competent Plsp1, whereas cpSecA1 recognizes free Plsp1 for integration. Thylakoid transmembrane proteins in the stroma can interact with Cpn60 to shield themselves from the aqueous environment.

Abstract
Angiosperms have three PsbQ-like (PQL) proteins in addition to the PsbQ subunit of the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II. Previous studies have shown that two PQL proteins, PnsL2 and PnsL3, are subunits of the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex involved in the photosystem I (PSI) cyclic electron flow. In addition, another PsbQ homolog, PQL3, is required for the NDH activity; however, the molecular function of PQL3 has not been elucidated. Here, we show that PQL3 is an assembly factor, particularly for the accumulation of subcomplex B (SubB) of the chloroplast NDH. In the pql3 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana, the amounts of NDH subunits in SubB, PnsB1 and PsnB4, were decreased, causing a severe reduction in the NDH-PSI supercomplex. Analysis using blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggested that the incorporation of PnsL3 into SubB was affected in the pql3 mutant. Unlike other PsbQ homologs, PQL3 was weakly associated with thylakoid membranes and was only partially protected from thermolysin digestion. Consistent with the function as an assembly factor, PQL3 accumulated independently in other NDH mutants, such as pnsl1-3. Furthermore, PQL3 accumulated in young leaves in a manner similar to the accumulation of CRR3, an assembly factor for SubB. These results suggest that PQL3 has developed a distinct function as an assembly factor for the NDH complex during evolution of the PsbQ protein family in angiosperms.

Abstract
The alga Chlamydomonas nivalis thrives in polar snow fields and on high-altitude mountain tops, and contributes significantly on primary production in the polar regions, however, the mechanisms underlying this adaptation to low temperatures are unknown. Here, we compared the growth, photosynthetic activity, membrane lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant activity of C. nivalis with those of the model alga C. reinhardtii, under grow temperature and low temperatures. C. nivalis maintained its photosynthetic activity in these conditions by reducing the light-harvesting ability of photosystem II and enhancing the cyclic electron transfer around photosystem I, both of which limited damage to the photosystem from excess light energy and resulted in ATP production, supporting cellular growth and other physiological processes. Furthermore, the increased cyclic electron transfer rate, carotenoid content, and antioxidant enzyme activities jointly regulated the reactive oxygen species levels in C. nivalis, enabling recovery from excess excitation energy and reduced photooxidative damage to the cell. Therefore, we propose a model in which adaptive mechanisms related to photosynthetic regulation promote the survival and even blooming of C. nivalis under polar environment, suggesting that C. nivalis can provide organic carbon sources as an important primary producer for other surrounding life in the polar regions for maintaining ecosystem.

Abstract
The chaperonin 60 (Cpn60) protein is of great importance to plants due to its involvement in modulating the folding of numerous chloroplast protein polypeptides. In chloroplasts, Cpn60 is differentiated into two subunit types—Cpn60α and Cpn60β and the rice genome encodes three α and three β plastid chaperonin subunits. However, the functions of Cpn60 family members in rice were poorly understood. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of OsCpn60β1, we attempted to disrupt the OsCpn60β1 gene by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis in this study. We succeeded in the production of homozygous OsCpn60β1 knockout rice plants. The OsCpn60β1 mutant displayed a striking albino leaf phenotype and was seedling lethal. Electron microscopy observation demonstrated that chloroplasts were severely disrupted in the OsCpn60β1 mutant. In addition, OsCpn60β1 was located in the chloroplast and OsCpn60β1 is constitutively expressed in various tissues particularly in the green tissues. The label-free qualitative proteomics showed that photosynthesis-related pathways and ribosomal pathways were significantly inhibited in OsCpn60β1 mutants. These results indicate that OsCpn60β1 is essential for chloroplast development in rice.

Abstract
Photosynthesis is the fundamental process fueling plant vegetative growth and development. The progeny of plants relies on maternal photosynthesis, via food reserves in the seed, to supply the necessary energy for seed germination and early seedling establishment. Intriguingly, before seed maturation, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) embryos are also photosynthetically active, the biological significance of which remains poorly understood. Investigating this system is genetically challenging because mutations perturbing photosynthesis are expected to affect both embryonic and vegetative tissues. Here, we isolated a temperature-sensitive mutation affecting CPN60α2, which encodes a subunit of the chloroplast chaperonin complex CPN60. When exposed to cold temperatures, cpn60α2 mutants accumulate less chlorophyll in newly produced tissues, thus allowing the specific disturbance of embryonic photosynthesis. Analyses of cpn60α2 mutants were combined with independent genetic and pharmacological approaches to show that embryonic photosynthetic activity is necessary for normal skoto- and photomorphogenesis in juvenile seedlings as well as long-term adult plant development. Our results reveal the importance of embryonic photosynthetic activity for normal adult plant growth, development, and health.

Abstract
Chloroplastic Cpn60 proteins are type I chaperonins comprising of Cpn60α and Cpn60β subunits. Arabidopsis genome contains six entries in Cpn60 family, out of which two are for Cpn60α subunit and four for Cpn60β subunit. We noted that the cpn60β4 knockout mutant plants (T-DNA insertion salk_064887 line) differed from the wild type Col-0 plants in the developmental programming. cpn60β4 mutant plants showed early seed germination. Radical emergence, hypocotyl emergence and cotyledons opening were faster in cpn60β4 mutant plants than WT. Importantly, cpn60β4 mutant plants showed early-flowering phenotype. The number of flowers and siliques as well as weight of the seeds were higher in cpn60β4 mutant plants as compared to Col-0 plants. These effects were reverted to wild type like growth and developmental patterns when genomic fragment of Arabidopsis encompassing Cpn60β4 gene was complemented in the mutant background. The overexpression of Cpn60β4 gene using CaMV35 promoter in wild type background (OE-Cpn60β4) delayed the floral transition as against wild type plants. The plastid division were affected in cpn60β4 mutant plants compared to Col-0. The results of this study suggest that Cpn60β4 plays important role(s) in chloroplast development and is a key factor in plant growth, development and flowering in Arabidopsis.

Abstract
The function of proteins depends on specific partners that regulate protein folding, degradation and protein-protein interactions, such partners are the chaperones and cochaperones. In chloroplasts, proteins belonging to several families of chaperones have been identified: chaperonins (Cpn60s), Hsp90s (Hsp90-5/Hsp90C), Hsp100s (Hsp93/ClpC) and Hsp70s (cpHsc70s). Several lines of evidence have demonstrated that cpHsc70 chaperones are involved in molecular processes like protein import, protein folding and oligomer formation that impact important physiological aspects in plants such as thermotolerance and thylakoid biogenesis. Despite the vast amount of data existing around the function of cpHcp70s chaperones, very little attention has been paid to the roles of DnaJ and GrpE cochaperones in the chloroplast. In this study, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplastic GrpE (CGE) proteins from 71 species. Based on their phylogenetic relationships and on a motif enrichment analysis, we propose a classification system for land plants' CGEs, which include two independent groups with specific primary structure traits. Furthermore, using in vivo assays we determined that the two CGEs from A. thaliana (AtCGEs) complement the mutant phenotype displayed by a knockout E. coli strain defective in the bacterial grpE gene. Moreover, we determined in planta that the two AtCGEs are bona fide chloroplastic proteins, which form the essential homodimers needed to establish direct physical interactions with the cpHsc70-1 chaperone. Finally, we found evidence suggesting that AtCGE1 is involved in specific physiological phenomena in A. thaliana, such as the chloroplastic response to heat stress, and the correct oligomerization of the photosynthesis-related LHCII complex.

Abstract
The chloroplast chaperonin system is indispensable for the biogenesis of Rubisco, the key enzyme in photosynthesis. Using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model system, we found that in vivo the chloroplast chaperonin consists of CPN60α, CPN60β1 and CPN60β2 and the co-chaperonin of the three subunits CPN20, CPN11 and CPN23. In Escherichia coli, CPN20 homo-oligomers and all possible other chloroplast co-chaperonin hetero-oligomers are functional, but only that consisting of CPN11/20/23-CPN60αβ1β2 can fully replace GroES/GroEL under stringent stress conditions. Endogenous CPN60 was purified and its stoichiometry was determined to be 6:2:6 for CPN60α:CPN60β1:CPN60β2. The cryo-EM structures of endogenous CPN60αβ1β2/ADP and CPN60αβ1β2/co-chaperonin/ADP were solved at resolutions of 4.06 and 3.82 Å, respectively. In both hetero-oligomeric complexes the chaperonin subunits within each ring are highly symmetric. Through hetero-oligomerization, the chloroplast co-chaperonin CPN11/20/23 forms seven GroES-like domains, which symmetrically interact with CPN60αβ1β2. Our structure also reveals an uneven distribution of roof-forming domains in the dome-shaped CPN11/20/23 co-chaperonin and potentially diversified surface properties in the folding cavity of the CPN60αβ1β2 chaperonin that might enable the chloroplast chaperonin system to assist in the folding of specific substrates.

Abstract
Two mutants sensitive to high light for growth and impaired in NDH-1 activity were isolated from a transposon-tagged library of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. Both mutants were tagged in the ssl3451 gene encoding a hypothetical protein, which shares a significant homology with the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) CHLORORESPIRATORY REDUCTION 42 (CRR42). In Arabidopsis, CRR42 associates only with an NDH-1 hydrophilic arm assembly intermediate (NAI) of about 400 kDa (NAI400), one of total three NAIs (NAI800, NAI500 and NAI400), and its deletion has little, if any, effect on accumulation of any NAIs in the stroma. In comparison, the ssl3451 product was localized mainly in the cytoplasm and associates with two NAIs of about 300 kDa (NAI300) and 130 kDa (NAI130). Deletion of Ssl3451 reduced the abundance of the NAI300 complex to levels no longer visible on gels and of the NAI130 complex to a low level, thereby impeding the assembly process of NDH-1 hydrophilic arm. Further, Ssl3451 interacts with another assembly factor Ssl3829 and they have a similar effect on accumulation of NAIs and NdhI maturation factor Slr1097 in the cytoplasm. We thus propose that Ssl3451 plays an important role in accumulation of the NAI300 and NAI130 complexes in the cytoplasm via its interacting protein Ssl3829.

The structure and evolution of eukaryotic chaperonin-containing TCP-1 and its mechanism that folds actin into a protein spring. Biochem J 2018; 475:3009-3034.

Abstract
Actin is folded to its native state in eukaryotic cytosol by the sequential allosteric mechanism of the chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (CCT). The CCT machine is a double-ring ATPase built from eight related subunits, CCT1–CCT8. Non-native actin interacts with specific subunits and is annealed slowly through sequential binding and hydrolysis of ATP around and across the ring system. CCT releases a folded but soft ATP-G-actin monomer which is trapped 80 kJ/mol uphill on the folding energy surface by its ATP-Mg2+/Ca2+ clasp. The energy landscape can be re-explored in the actin filament, F-actin, because ATP hydrolysis produces dehydrated and more compact ADP-actin monomers which, upon application of force and strain, are opened and closed like the elements of a spring. Actin-based myosin motor systems underpin a multitude of force generation processes in cells and muscles. We propose that the water surface of F-actin acts as a low-binding energy, directional waveguide which is recognized specifically by the myosin lever-arm domain before the system engages to form the tight-binding actomyosin complex. Such a water-mediated recognition process between actin and myosin would enable symmetry breaking through fast, low energy initial binding events. The origin of chaperonins and the subsequent emergence of the CCT–actin system in LECA (last eukaryotic common ancestor) point to the critical role of CCT in facilitating phagocytosis during early eukaryotic evolution and the transition from the bacterial world. The coupling of CCT-folding fluxes to the cell cycle, cell size control networks and cancer are discussed together with directions for further research.

Abstract
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the Calvin-Benson cycle, which transforms atmospheric carbon into a biologically useful carbon source. The slow catalytic rate of Rubisco and low substrate specificity necessitate the production of high levels of this enzyme. In order to engineer a more efficient plant Rubisco, we need to better understand its folding and assembly process. Form I Rubisco, found in green algae and vascular plants, is a hexadecamer composed of 8 large subunits (RbcL), encoded by the chloroplast genome and 8 small, nuclear-encoded subunits (RbcS). Unlike its cyanobacterial homolog, which can be reconstituted in vitro or in E. coli, assisted by bacterial chaperonins (GroEL-GroES) and the RbcX chaperone, biogenesis of functional chloroplast Rubisco requires Cpn60-Cpn20, the chloroplast homologs of GroEL-GroES, and additional auxiliary factors, including Rubisco accumulation factor 1 (Raf1), Rubisco accumulation factor 2 (Raf2) and Bundle sheath defective 2 (Bsd2). The discovery and characterization of these factors paved the way for Arabidopsis Rubisco assembly in E. coli. In the present review, we discuss the uniqueness of hetero-oligomeric chaperonin complex for RbcL folding, as well as the sequential or concurrent actions of the post-chaperonin chaperones in holoenzyme assembly. The exact stages at which each assembly factor functions are yet to be determined. Expression of Arabidopsis Rubisco in E. coli provided some insight regarding the potential roles for Raf1 and RbcX in facilitating RbcL oligomerization, for Bsd2 in stabilizing the oligomeric core prior to holoenzyme assembly, and for Raf2 in interacting with both RbcL and RbcS. In the long term, functional characterization of each known factor along with the potential discovery and characterization of additional factors will set the stage for designing more efficient plants, with a greater biomass, for use in biofuels and sustenance.

Abstract
Chaperonins are large, essential, oligomers that facilitate protein folding in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and eubacteria. Plant chloroplast chaperonins are comprised of multiple homologous subunits that exhibit unique properties. We previously characterized homogeneous, reconstituted, chloroplast-chaperonin oligomers in vitro, each composed of one of three highly homologous beta subunits from A. thaliana. In the current work, we describe alpha-type subunits from the same species and investigate their interaction with β subtypes. Neither alpha subunit was capable of forming higher-order oligomers on its own. When combined with β subunits in the presence of Mg-ATP, only the α2 subunit was able to form stable functional hetero-oligomers, which were capable of refolding denatured protein with native chloroplast co-chaperonins. Since β oligomers were able to oligomerize in the absence of α, we sought conditions under which αβ hetero-oligomers could be produced without contamination of β homo-oligomers. We found that β2 subunits are unable to oligomerize at low temperatures and used this property to obtain homogenous preparations of functional α2β2 hetero-oligomers. The results of this study highlight the importance of reaction conditions such as temperature and concentration for the reconstitution of chloroplast chaperonin oligomers in vitro.

Abstract
Group I chaperonins are large cylindrical-shaped nano-machines that function as a central hub in the protein quality control system in the bacterial cytosol, mitochondria and chloroplasts. In chloroplasts, proteins newly synthesized by chloroplast ribosomes, unfolded by diverse stresses, or translocated from the cytosol run the risk of aberrant folding and aggregation. The chloroplast chaperonin system assists these proteins in folding into their native states. A widely known protein folded by chloroplast chaperonin is the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), an enzyme responsible for the fixation of inorganic CO2 into organic carbohydrates during photosynthesis. Chloroplast chaperonin was initially identified as a Rubisco-binding protein. All photosynthetic eucaryotes genomes encode multiple chaperonin genes which can be divided into α and β subtypes. Unlike the homo-oligomeric chaperonins from bacteria and mitochondria, chloroplast chaperonins are more complex and exists as intricate hetero-oligomers containing both subtypes. The Group I chaperonin requires proper interaction with a detachable lid-like co-chaperonin in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ for substrate encapsulation and conformational transition. Besides the typical Cpn10-like co-chaperonin, a unique co-chaperonin consisting of two tandem Cpn10-like domains joined head-to-tail exists in chloroplasts. Since chloroplasts were proposed as sensors to various environmental stresses, this diversified chloroplast chaperonin system has the potential to adapt to complex conditions by accommodating specific substrates or through regulation at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels. In this review, we discuss recent progress on the unique structure and function of the chloroplast chaperonin system based on model organisms Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Arabidopsis thaliana. Knowledge of the chloroplast chaperonin system may ultimately lead to successful reconstitution of eukaryotic Rubisco in vitro.

Abstract
Alternative splicing (AS) is a crucial regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes, which acts by greatly increasing transcriptome diversity. The extent and complexity of AS has been revealed in model plants using high-throughput next-generation sequencing. However, this technique is less effective in accurately identifying transcript isoforms in polyploid species because of the high sequence similarity between coexisting subgenomes. Here we characterize AS in the polyploid species cotton. Using Pacific Biosciences single-molecule long-read isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq), we developed an integrated pipeline for Iso-Seq transcriptome data analysis (https://github.com/Nextomics/pipeline-for-isoseq). We identified 176 849 full-length transcript isoforms from 44 968 gene models and updated gene annotation. These data led us to identify 15 102 fibre-specific AS events and estimate that c. 51.4% of homoeologous genes produce divergent isoforms in each subgenome. We reveal that AS allows differential regulation of the same gene by miRNAs at the isoform level. We also show that nucleosome occupancy and DNA methylation play a role in defining exons at the chromatin level. This study provides new insights into the complexity and regulation of AS, and will enhance our understanding of AS in polyploid species. Our methodology for Iso-Seq data analysis will be a useful reference for the study of AS in other species.

Abstract
Chaperonins are a class of molecular chaperones that assist in the folding and assembly of a wide range of substrates. In plants, chloroplast chaperonins are composed of two different types of subunits, Cpn60α and Cpn60β, and duplication of Cpn60α and Cpn60β genes occurs in a high proportion of plants. However, the importance of multiple Cpn60α and Cpn60β genes in plants is poorly understood. In this study, we found that loss-of-function of CPNA2 (AtCpn60α2), a gene encoding the minor Cpn60α subunit in Arabidopsis thaliana, resulted in arrested embryo development at the globular stage, whereas the other AtCpn60α gene encoding the dominant Cpn60α subunit, CPNA1 (AtCpn60α1), mainly affected embryonic cotyledon development at the torpedo stage and thereafter. Further studies demonstrated that CPNA2 can form a functional chaperonin with CPNB2 (AtCpn60β2) and CPNB3 (AtCpn60β3), while the functional partners of CPNA1 are CPNB1 (AtCpn60β1) and CPNB2. We also revealed that the functional chaperonin containing CPNA2 could assist the folding of a specific substrate, KASI (β-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase I), and that the KASI protein level was remarkably reduced due to loss-of-function of CPNA2. Furthermore, the reduction in the KASI protein level was shown to be the possible cause for the arrest of cpna2 embryos. Our findings indicate that the two Cpn60α subunits in Arabidopsis play different roles during embryo development through forming distinct chaperonins with specific AtCpn60β to assist the folding of particular substrates, thus providing novel insights into functional divergence of Cpn60α subunits in plants. Chaperonins are large oligomeric complexes that are involved in the folding and assembly of numerous proteins in various species. In contrast to other types of chaperonins, chloroplast chaperonins are characterized by the hetero-oligomeric structure composed of two unique types of subunits, Cpn60α and Cpn60β, each of which is present in two or more paralogous forms in most of higher plants. However, the functional significance underlying the wide array of subunit types and complex oligomeric arrangement remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of the minor Cpn60α subunit AtCpn60α2 in Arabidopsis embryo development, and found that AtCpn60α2 is important for the transition of globular embryos to heart-shaped embryos, whereas loss of the dominant Cpn60α subunit AtCpn60α1 affects embryonic cotyledon development. Further studies demonstrated that AtCpn60α2 could form functional chaperonins with AtCpn60β2 and AtCpn60β3 to specifically assist in folding of the substrate KASI, which is important for the formation of heart-shaped embryos. Our results suggest that duplication of Cpn60α genes in higher plants can increase the potential number of chloroplast chaperonin substrates and provide chloroplast chaperonins with more roles in plant growth and development, thus revealing the relationship between duplication and functional specialization of chaperonin genes.

Abstract
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) mediates the fixation of atmospheric CO2 in photosynthesis by catalyzing the carboxylation of the 5-carbon sugar ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). Rubisco is a remarkably inefficient enzyme, fixing only 2-10 CO2 molecules per second. Efforts to increase crop yields by bioengineering Rubisco remain unsuccessful, owing in part to the complex cellular machinery required for Rubisco biogenesis and metabolic maintenance. The large subunit of Rubisco requires the chaperonin system for folding, and recent studies have shown that assembly of hexadecameric Rubisco is mediated by specific assembly chaperones. Moreover, Rubisco function can be inhibited by a range of sugar-phosphate ligands, including RuBP. Metabolic repair depends on remodeling of Rubisco by the ATP-dependent Rubisco activase and hydrolysis of inhibitory sugar phosphates by specific phosphatases. Here, we review our present understanding of the structure and function of these auxiliary factors and their utilization in efforts to engineer more catalytically efficient Rubisco enzymes.

Abstract
Two mutants isolated from a tagging library of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 were sensitive to high light and had a tag in sll1471 encoding CpcG2, a linker protein for photosystem I (PSI)-specific antenna. Both mutants demonstrated strongly impaired NDH-1-dependent cyclic electron transport. Blue native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting and mass spectrometry analyses of the wild type and a mutant containing CpcG2 fused with yellow fluorescent protein-histidine6 indicated the presence of a novel NDH-1L-CpcG2-PSI supercomplex, which was absent in the cpcG2 deletion mutant, the PSI-less mutant, and several other strains deficient in NDH-1L and/or NDH-1M. Coimmunoprecipitation and pull-down analyses on CpcG2-yellow fluorescent protein-histidine6, using antibody against green fluorescent protein and nickel column chromatography, confirmed the association of CpcG2 with the supercomplex. Conversely, the use of antibodies against NdhH or NdhK after blue native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and in coimmunoprecipitation experiments verified the necessity of CpcG2 in stabilizing the supercomplex. Furthermore, deletion of CpcG2 destabilized NDH-1L as well as its degradation product NDH-1M and significantly decreased the number of functional PSI centers, consistent with the involvement of CpcG2 in NDH-1-dependent cyclic electron transport. The CpcG2 deletion, however, had no effect on respiration. Thus, we propose that the formation of an NDH-1L-CpcG2-PSI supercomplex in cyanobacteria facilitates PSI cyclic electron transport via NDH-1L.

Abstract
In vascular plants, the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex, a homolog of respiratory NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Complex I), mediates plastoquinone reduction using ferredoxin as an electron donor in cyclic electron transport around PSI in the thylakoid membrane. In angiosperms, chloroplast NDH is composed of five subcomplexes and forms a supercomplex with PSI. The modular assembly of stroma-protruded subcomplex A, which corresponds to the Q module of Complex I, was recently reported. However, the factors involved in the specific assembly steps have not been completely identified. Here, we isolated an Arabidopsis mutant, chlororespiratory reduction 9 (crr9), defective in NDH activity. The CRR9 gene encodes a novel stromal protein without any known functional domains or motifs. CRR9 is highly conserved in cyanobacteria and land plants but not in green algae, which do not have chloroplast NDH. Blue native-PAGE and immunoblot analyses of thylakoid proteins indicated that formation of subcomplex A was impaired in crr9 CRR9 was specifically required for the accumulation of NdhK, a subcomplex A subunit, in NDH assembly intermediates in the stroma. Furthermore, two-dimensional clear native/SDS-PAGE analysis of the stroma fraction indicated that incorporation of NdhM into NDH assembly intermediate complex 400 was impaired in crr9 These results suggest that CRR9 is a novel factor required for the formation of NDH subcomplex A.

Abstract
By concentrating CO2, C4 photosynthesis can suppress photorespiration and achieve high photosynthetic efficiency, especially under conditions of high light, high temperature, and drought. To concentrate CO2, extra ATP is required, which would also require a change in photosynthetic electron transport in C4 photosynthesis from that in C3 photosynthesis. Several analyses have shown that the accumulation of the components of cyclic electron flow (CEF) around photosystem I, which generates the proton gradient across thylakoid membranes (ΔpH) and functions in ATP production without producing NADPH, is increased in various NAD-malic enzyme and NADP-malic enzyme C4 plants, suggesting that CEF may be enhanced to satisfy the increased need for ATP in C4 photosynthesis. However, in C4 plants, the accumulation patterns of the components of two partially redundant pathways of CEF, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-like complex and PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION5-PGR5-like1 complex, are not identical, suggesting that these pathways may play different roles in C4 photosynthesis. Accompanying the increase in the amount of NDH, the expression of some genes which encode proteins involved in the assembly of NDH is also increased at the mRNA level in various C4 plants, suggesting that this increase is needed to increase the accumulation of NDH. To better understand the relation between CEF and C4 photosynthesis, a reverse genetic approach to generate C4 transformants with respect to CEF will be necessary.

Abstract
Cyclic electron transport around photosystem I (PSI) generates ∆pH across the thylakoid membrane without net production of NADPH. In angiosperms, two pathways of PSI cyclic electron transport operate. The main pathway depends on PGR5/PGRL1 proteins and is likely identical to the historical Arnon's pathway. The minor pathway depends on chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex. In assays of their rates in vivo, the two independent pathways are often mixed together. Theoretically, linear electron transport from water to NADP(+) cannot satisfy the ATP/NADPH production ratio required by the Calvin-Benson cycle and photorespiration. PGR5/PGRL1-dependent PSI cyclic electron transport contributes substantially to the supply of ATP for CO2 fixation, as does linear electron transport. Also, the contribution of chloroplast NDH cannot be ignored, especially at low light intensity, although the extent of the contribution depends on the plant species. An increase in proton conductivity of ATP synthase may compensate ATP synthesis to some extent in the pgr5 mutant. Combined with the decreased rate of ∆pH generation, however, this mechanism sacrifices homeostasis of the thylakoid lumen pH, seriously disturbing the pH-dependent regulation of photosynthetic electron transport, induction of qE, and downregulation of the cytochrome b 6 f complex. PGR5/PGRL1-dependent PSI cyclic electron transport produces sufficient proton motive force for ATP synthesis and the regulation of photosynthetic electron transport.

Abstract
Despite significant progress in clarifying the subunit compositions and functions of the multiple NDH-1 complexes in cyanobacteria, the assembly factors and their roles in assembling these NDH-1 complexes remain elusive. Two mutants sensitive to high light for growth and impaired in NDH-1-dependent cyclic electron transport around photosystem I were isolated from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 transformed with a transposon-tagged library. Both mutants were tagged in the ssl3829 gene encoding an unknown protein, which shares significant similarity with Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) CHLORORESPIRATORY REDUCTION7. The ssl3829 product was localized in the cytoplasm and associates with an NDH-1 hydrophilic arm assembly intermediate (NAI) of about 300 kD (NAI300) and an NdhI maturation factor, Slr1097. Upon deletion of Ssl3829, the NAI300 complex was no longer visible on gels, thereby impeding the assembly of the NDH-1 hydrophilic arm. The deletion also abolished Slr1097 and consequently reduced the amount of mature NdhI in the cytoplasm, which repressed the dynamic assembly process of the NDH-1 hydrophilic arm because mature NdhI was essential to stabilize all functional NAIs. Therefore, Ssl3829 plays an important role in the assembly of the NDH-1 hydrophilic arm by accumulating the NAI300 complex and Slr1097 protein in the cytoplasm.

Abstract
The cyanobacterial NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH-1) complexes play crucial roles in variety of bioenergetic reactions such as respiration, CO2 uptake, and cyclic electron transport around PSI. Recently, substantial progress has been made in identifying the composition of subunits of NDH-1 complexes. However, the localization and the physiological roles of several subunits in cyanobacteria are not fully understood. Here, by constructing fully segregated ndhN, ndhO, ndhH, and ndhJ null mutants in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, we found that deletion of ndhN, ndhH, or ndhJ but not ndhO severely impaired the accumulation of the hydrophilic subunits of the NDH-1 in the thylakoid membrane, resulting in disassembly of NDH-1MS, NDH-1MS', as well as NDH-1L, finally causing the severe growth suppression phenotype. In contrast, deletion of NdhO affected the growth at pH 6.5 in air. In the cytoplasm, either NdhH or NdhJ deleted mutant, but neither NdhN nor NdhO deleted mutant, failed to accumulate the NDH-1 assembly intermediate consisting of NdhH, NdhJ, NdhK, and NdhM. Based on these results, we suggest that NdhN, NdhH, and NdhJ are essential for the stability and the activities of NDH-1 complexes, while NdhO for NDH-1 functions under the condition of inorganic carbon limitation in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. We discuss the roles of these subunits and propose a new NDH-1 model.

Abstract
Oxygenic photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy in the chloroplasts of plants and microalgae as well as in prokaryotic cyanobacteria using a complex machinery composed of two photosystems and both membrane-bound and soluble electron carriers. In addition to the major photosynthetic complexes photosystem II (PSII), cytochrome b6f, and photosystem I (PSI), chloroplasts also contain minor components, including a well-conserved type I NADH dehydrogenase (NDH-1) complex that functions in close relationship with photosynthesis and likewise originated from the endosymbiotic cyanobacterial ancestor. Some plants and many microalgal species have lost plastidial ndh genes and a functional NDH-1 complex during evolution, and studies have suggested that a plastidial type II NADH dehydrogenase (NDH-2) complex substitutes for the electron transport activity of NDH-1. However, although NDH-1 was initially thought to use NAD(P)H as an electron donor, recent research has demonstrated that both chloroplast and cyanobacterial NDH-1s oxidize reduced ferredoxin. We discuss more recent findings related to the biochemical composition and activity of NDH-1 and NDH-2 in relation to the physiology and regulation of photosynthesis, particularly focusing on their roles in cyclic electron flow around PSI, chlororespiration, and acclimation to changing environments.

Structural insight into the cooperation of chloroplast chaperonin subunits. BMC Biol 2016; 14:29. [PMID: 27072913 PMCID: PMC4828840 DOI: 10.1186/s12915-016-0251-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2016] [Accepted: 03/29/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chloroplast chaperonin, consisting of multiple subunits, mediates folding of the highly abundant protein Rubisco with the assistance of co-chaperonins. ATP hydrolysis drives the chaperonin allosteric cycle to assist substrate folding and promotes disassembly of chloroplast chaperonin. The ways in which the subunits cooperate during this cycle remain unclear. Results Here, we report the first crystal structure of Chlamydomonas chloroplast chaperonin homo-oligomer (CPN60β1) at 3.8 Å, which shares structural topology with typical type I chaperonins but with looser compaction, and possesses a larger central cavity, less contact sites and an enlarged ATP binding pocket compared to GroEL. The overall structure of Cpn60 resembles the GroEL allosteric intermediate state. Moreover, two amino acid (aa) residues (G153, G154) conserved among Cpn60s are involved in ATPase activity regulated by co-chaperonins. Domain swapping analysis revealed that the monomeric state of CPN60α is controlled by its equatorial domain. Furthermore, the C-terminal segment (aa 484–547) of CPN60β influenced oligomer disassembly and allosteric rearrangement driven by ATP hydrolysis. The entire equatorial domain and at least one part of the intermediate domain from CPN60α are indispensable for functional cooperation with CPN60β1, and this functional cooperation is strictly dependent on a conserved aa residue (E461) in the CPN60α subunit. Conclusions The first crystal structure of Chlamydomonas chloroplast chaperonin homo-oligomer (CPN60β1) is reported. The equatorial domain maintained the monomeric state of CPN60α and the C-terminus of CPN60β affected oligomer disassembly driven by ATP. The cooperative roles of CPN60 subunits were also established.

Abstract
Two mutants sensitive to heat stress for growth and impaired in NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH-1)-dependent cyclic electron transport around photosystem I (NDH-CET) were isolated from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 transformed with a transposon-bearing library. Both mutants had a tag in the same sll0272 gene, encoding a protein highly homologous to NdhV identified in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Deletion of the sll0272 gene (ndhV) did not influence the assembly of NDH-1 complexes and the activities of CO2 uptake and respiration but reduced the activity of NDH-CET. NdhV interacted with NdhS, a ferredoxin-binding subunit of cyanobacterial NDH-1 complex. Deletion of NdhS completely abolished NdhV, but deletion of NdhV had no effect on the amount of NdhS. Reduction of NDH-CET activity was more significant in ΔndhS than in ΔndhV. We therefore propose that NdhV cooperates with NdhS to accept electrons from reduced ferredoxin.

Abstract
The GENOMES UNCOUPLED 1 (GUN1) gene has been reported to encode a chloroplast-localized pentatricopeptide-repeat protein, which acts to integrate multiple indicators of plastid developmental stage and altered plastid function, as part of chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde communication. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying signal integration by GUN1 have remained elusive, up until the recent identification of a set of GUN1-interacting proteins, by co-immunoprecipitation and mass-spectrometric analyses, as well as protein-protein interaction assays. Here, we review the molecular functions of the different GUN1 partners and propose a major role for GUN1 as coordinator of chloroplast translation, protein import, and protein degradation. This regulatory role is implemented through proteins that, in most cases, are part of multimeric protein complexes and whose precise functions vary depending on their association states. Within this framework, GUN1 may act as a platform to promote specific functions by bringing the interacting enzymes into close proximity with their substrates, or may inhibit processes by sequestering particular pools of specific interactors. Furthermore, the interactions of GUN1 with enzymes of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (TPB) pathway support the involvement of tetrapyrroles as signaling molecules in retrograde communication.

Abstract
The individual roles of three chloroplast CPN60 protomers (CPN60α, CPN60β1, and CPN60β2) and whether and how they are assembled into functional chaperonin complexes are investigated in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Protein complexes containing all three potential subunits were identified in Chlamydomonas, and their co-expression in Escherichia coli yielded a homogeneous population of oligomers containing all three subunits (CPN60αβ1β2), with a molecular weight consistent with a tetradecameric structure. While homo-oligomers of CPN60β could form, they were dramatically reduced when CPN60α was present and homo-oligomers of CPN60β2 were readily changed into hetero-oligomers in the presence of ATP and other protomers. ATP hydrolysis caused CPN60 oligomers to disassemble and drove the purified protomers to reconstitute oligomers in vitro, suggesting that the dynamic nature of CPN60 oligomers is dependent on ATP. Only hetero-oligomeric CPN60αβ1β2, containing CPN60α, CPN60β1, and CPN60β2 subunits in a 5:6:3 ratio, cooperated functionally with GroES. The combination of CPN60α and CPN60β subunits, but not the individual subunits alone, complemented GroEL function in E. coli with subunit recognition specificity. Down-regulation of the CPN60α subunit in Chlamydomonas resulted in a slow growth defect and an inability to grow autotrophically, indicating the essential role of CPN60α in vivo.

Abstract
Two major complexes of NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH-1) have been identified in cyanobacteria. A large complex (NDH-1L) contains NdhD1, NdhF1, and NdhP, which are absent in a medium size complex (NDH-1M). They play important roles in respiration, NDH-1-dependent cyclic electron transport around photosystem I, and CO2 uptake. Two mutants sensitive to high light for growth and impaired in cyclic electron transport around photosystem I were isolated from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 transformed with a transposon-bearing library. Both mutants had a tag in an open reading frame encoding a product highly homologous to NdhQ, a single-transmembrane small subunit of the NDH-1L complex, identified in Thermosynechococcus elongatus by proteomics strategy. Deletion of ndhQ disassembled about one-half of the NDH-1L to NDH-1M and consequently impaired respiration, but not CO2 uptake. During prolonged incubation of the thylakoid membrane with n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside at room temperature, the rest of the NDH-1L in ΔndhQ was disassembled completely to NDH-1M and was much faster than in the wild type. In the ndhP-deletion mutant (ΔndhP) background, absence of NdhQ almost completely disassembled the NDH-1L to NDH-1M, similar to the results observed in the ΔndhD1/ΔndhD2 mutant. We therefore conclude that both NdhQ and NdhP are essential to stabilize the NDH-1L complex.

Abstract
Plastids are a class of essential plant cell organelles comprising photosynthetic chloroplasts of green tissues, starch-storing amyloplasts of roots and tubers or the colorful pigment-storing chromoplasts of petals and fruits. They express a few genes encoded on their organellar genome, called plastome, but import most of their proteins from the cytosol. The import into plastids, the folding of freshly-translated or imported proteins, the degradation or renaturation of denatured and entangled proteins, and the quality-control of newly folded proteins all require the action of molecular chaperones. Members of all four major families of ATP-dependent molecular chaperones (chaperonin/Cpn60, Hsp70, Hsp90 and Hsp100 families) have been identified in plastids from unicellular algae to higher plants. This review aims not only at giving an overview of the most current insights into the general and conserved functions of these plastid chaperones, but also into their specific plastid functions. Given that chloroplasts harbor an extreme environment that cycles between reduced and oxidized states, that has to deal with reactive oxygen species and is highly reactive to environmental and developmental signals, it can be presumed that plastid chaperones have evolved a plethora of specific functions some of which are just about to be discovered. Here, the most urgent questions that remain unsolved are discussed, and guidance for future research on plastid chaperones is given. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Chloroplast Biogenesis.

Abstract
Co-chaperonins function together with chaperonins to mediate ATP-dependant protein folding in a variety of cellular compartments. GroEL and its co-chaperonin GroES are the only essential chaperones in Escherichia coli and are the archetypal members of this family of protein folding machines. The unique mechanism used by GroEL and GroES to drive protein folding is embedded in the complex architecture of double-ringed complexes, forming two central chambers that undergo structural rearrangements as part of the folding mechanism. GroES forms a lid over the chamber, and in doing so dislodges bound substrate into the chamber, thereby allowing non-native proteins to fold in isolation. GroES also modulates allosteric transitions of GroEL. A significant number of bacteria and eukaryotes house multiple chaperonin and co-chaperonin proteins, many of which have acquired additional intracellular and extracellular biological functions. In some instances co-chaperonins display contrasting functions to those of chaperonins. Human Hsp60 continues to play a key role in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, in particular autoimmune diseases and cancer. A greater understanding of the fascinating roles of both intracellular and extracellular Hsp10, in addition to its role as a co-chaperonin, on cellular processes will accelerate the development of techniques to treat diseases associated with the chaperonin family.

Abstract
The A. thaliana genome encodes five co-chaperonin homologs, three of which are destined to the chloroplast. Two of the proteins, Cpn10(2) and Cpn20, form functional homo-oligomers in vitro. In the current work, we present data on the structure and function of the third A. thaliana co-chaperonin, which exhibits unique properties. We found that purified recombinant Cpn10(1) forms inactive dimers in solution, in contrast to the active heptamers that are formed by canonical Cpn10s. Additionally, our data demonstrate that Cpn10(1) is capable of assembling into active hetero-oligomers together with Cpn20. This finding was reinforced by the formation of active co-chaperonin species upon mixing an inactive Cpn20 mutant with the inactive Cpn10(1). The present study constitutes the first report of a higher plant Cpn10 subunit that is able to function only upon formation of hetero-oligomers with other co-chaperonins.

Abstract
Two mutants that grew faster than the wild-type (WT) strain under high light conditions were isolated from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 transformed with a transposon-bearing library. Both mutants had a tag in ssl1690 encoding NdhO. Deletion of ndhO increased the activity of NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH-1)-dependent cyclic electron transport around photosystem I (NDH-CET), while overexpression decreased the activity. Although deletion and overexpression of ndhO did not have significant effects on the amount of other subunits such as NdhH, NdhI, NdhK, and NdhM in the cells, the amount of these subunits in the medium size NDH-1 (NDH-1M) complex was higher in the ndhO-deletion mutant and much lower in the overexpression strain than in the WT. NdhO strongly interacts with NdhI and NdhK but not with other subunits. NdhI interacts with NdhK and the interaction was blocked by NdhO. The blocking may destabilize the NDH-1M complex and repress the NDH-CET activity. When cells were transferred from growth light to high light, the amounts of NdhI and NdhK increased without significant change in the amount of NdhO, thus decreasing the relative amount of NdhO. This might have decreased the blocking, thereby stabilizing the NDH-1M complex and increasing the NDH-CET activity under high light conditions.

Abstract
Two major complexes of NADPH dehydrogenase (NDH-1) have been identified in cyanobacteria. A large complex (NDH-1L) contains NdhD1 and NdhF1, which are absent in a medium size complex (NDH-1M). They play important roles in respiration, cyclic electron transport around photosystem I, and CO2 acquisition. Two mutants sensitive to high light for growth and impaired in NDH-1-mediated cyclic electron transfer were isolated from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 transformed with a transposon-bearing library. Both mutants had a tag in sml0013 encoding NdhP, a single transmembrane small subunit of the NDH-1 complex. During prolonged incubation of the wild type thylakoid membrane with n-dodecyl β-d-maltoside (DM), about half of the NDH-1L was disassembled to NDH-1M and the rest decomposed completely without forming NDH-1M. In the ndhP deletion mutant (ΔndhP), disassembling of NDH-1L to NDH-1M occurred even on ice, and decomposition to a small piece occurred at room temperature much faster than in the wild type. Deletion of the C-terminal tail of NdhP gave the same result. The C terminus of NdhP was tagged by YFP-His6. Blue native gel electrophoresis of the DM-treated thylakoid membrane of this strain and Western analysis using the antibody against GFP revealed that NdhP-YFP-His6 was exclusively confined to NDH-1L. During prolonged incubation of the thylakoid membrane of the tagged strain with DM at room temperature, NDH-1L was partially disassembled to NDH-1M and the 160-kDa band containing NdhP-YFP-His6 and possibly NdhD1 and NdhF1. We therefore conclude that NdhP, especially its C-terminal tail, is essential to assemble NdhD1 and NdhF1 and stabilize the NDH-1L complex.

Abstract
The chloroplast development governs plant growth and metabolism. This study characterized a novel rice thermo-sensitive chloroplast development 9 (tcd9) mutant, which exhibited the albino phenotype before the 3-leaf stage grown below 24 °C whereas displayed normal green at over 28 °C or even at 20 °C after 5-leaf stage. The obvious decrease in Chl levels, abnormal chloroplasts with few thylakoid lamella and abnormal thylakoids were observed for the albino mutant seedlings at low temperature, but the mutant was apparently normal green at high temperature, suggesting the thermo-sensitivity of albino phenotype. Genetic analysis showed that the albino phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene (tcd9). The map-based cloning and molecular complementation tests revealed that the mutation of TCD9 encoding α subunit of Cpn60 protein (Cpn60α), localized in chloroplasts, was responsible for albino phenotype. In addition, TCD9 exhibited the high expression in all tested tissues, especially in young leaves. The transcriptional analysis indicated that all expression levels of the studied genes related to chloroplast development in tcd9 mutant were seriously affected in the albino seedlings at 20 °C, whereas some of them recovered into normal levels in green-seedlings at 32 °C. Our observations suggest that the nuclear-encoded Cpn60α protein TCD9 plays a crucial role in chloroplast development at early leaf stage of rice.

Abstract
Type I chaperonins are large oligomeric protein ensembles that are involved in the folding and assembly of other proteins. Chloroplast chaperonins and co-chaperonins exist in multiple copies of two distinct isoforms that can combine to form a range of labile oligomeric structures. This complex system increases the potential number of chaperonin substrates and possibilities for regulation. The incorporation of unique subunits into the oligomer can modify substrate specificity. Some subunits are upregulated in response to heat shock and some show organ-specific expression, whereas others possess additional functions that are unrelated to their role in protein folding. Accumulating evidence suggests that specific subunits have distinct roles in biogenesis of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco).

The photosynthesis affected mutant68-like protein evolved from a PSII assembly factor to mediate assembly of the chloroplast NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex in Arabidopsis. THE PLANT CELL 2013; 25:3926-43.

Abstract
In vascular plants, the chloroplast NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex (NDH-C) is assembled from five distinct subcomplexes, the membrane-spanning (subM) and the luminal (subL) subcomplexes, as well as subA, subB, and subE. The assembly process itself is poorly understood. Vascular plant genomes code for two related intrinsic thylakoid proteins, photosynthesis-affected mutant68 (PAM68), a photosystem II assembly factor, and photosynthesis-affected mutant68-like (PAM68L). As we show here, inactivation of Arabidopsis thaliana PAM68L in the pam68l-1 mutant identifies PAM68L as an NDH-C assembly factor. The mutant lacks functional NDH holocomplexes and accumulates three distinct NDH-C assembly intermediates (subB, subM, and subA+L), which are also found in mutants defective in subB assembly (ndf5) or subM expression (chlororespiratory reduction4-3 mutant). NDH-C assembly in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 and the moss Physcomitrella patens does not require PAM68 proteins, as demonstrated by the analysis of knockout lines for the single-copy PAM68 genes in these species. We conclude that PAM68L mediates the attachment of subB- and subM-containing intermediates to a complex that contains subA and subL. The evolutionary appearance of subL and PAM68L during the transition from mosses like P. patens to flowering plants suggests that the associated increase in the complexity of the NDH-C might have been facilitated by the recruitment of evolutionarily novel assembly factors like PAM68L.

Abstract
Cyclic electron transport around photosystem I generates ATP without the accumulation of NADPH in chloroplasts. In angiosperms, electron transport consists of a PGR5-PGRL1 protein-dependent pathway and a chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like complex-dependent pathway. Most likely, the PGR5-PGRL1 pathway corresponds to the cyclic phosphorylation discovered by Arnon and contributes mainly to ΔpH formation in photosynthesis. ATP synthesis utilizes this ΔpH formed by both linear and PSI cyclic electron transport. Furthermore, acidification of the thylakoid lumen downregulates light energy utilization in photosystem II and also electron transport through the cytochrome b6f complex. In the absence of PGR5, chloroplast NDH compensates for the reduced ΔpH formation to some extent. Additionally, proton conductivity is upregulated, probably through ATPase, in pgr5 mutants. The photosynthetic machinery likely forms a complex network to maintain high photosynthesis activity under fluctuating light conditions.
