Proteomics, phylogenetics, and coexpression analyses indicate novel interactions in the plastid CLP chaperone-protease system.

ABSTRACT: The chloroplast chaperone CLPC1 unfolds and delivers substrates to the stromal CLPPRT protease complex for degradation. We previously used an in vivo trapping approach to identify interactors with CLPC1 in Arabidopsis thaliana by expressing a STREPII-tagged copy of CLPC1 mutated in its Walker B domains (CLPC1-TRAP) followed by affinity purification and mass spectrometry. To create a larger pool of candidate substrates, adaptors, or regulators, we carried out a far more sensitive and comprehensive in vivo protein trapping analysis. We identified 59 highly enriched CLPC1 protein interactors, in particular proteins belonging to families of unknown functions (DUF760, DUF179, DUF3143, UVR-DUF151, HugZ/DUF2470), as well as the UVR domain proteins EXE1 and EXE2 implicated in singlet oxygen damage
