Project description:Tic110 is a major component of the chloroplast protein import translocon. Two functions with mutually exclusive structures have been proposed for Tic110: a protein-conducting channel with six transmembrane domains and a scaffold with two N-terminal transmembrane domains followed by a large soluble domain for binding transit peptides and other stromal translocon components. To investigate the structure of Tic110, Tic110 from Cyanidioschyzon merolae (CmTic110) was characterized. We constructed three fragments, CmTic110A , CmTic110B and CmTic110C , with increasing N-terminal truncations, to perform small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray crystallography analyses and Dali structural comparison. Here we report the molecular envelope of CmTic110B and CmTic110C determined by SAXS, and the crystal structure of CmTic110C at 4.2 Å. Our data indicate that the C-terminal half of CmTic110 possesses a rod-shaped helix-repeat structure that is too flattened and elongated to be a channel. The structure is most similar to the HEAT-repeat motif that functions as scaffolds for protein-protein interactions.

Project description:Survival of plants depends on their ability to adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions. Chloroplasts sense different stimuli and respond to ion fluxes in the cytosol triggering systemic responses under stress conditions. Indeed, changes in calcium and magnesium ion concentration in the chloroplast stroma impact the immune response against pathogens and adapt the photosynthetic machinery under fluctuating light conditions. Here we investigated the link between di-valent cations, calcium, magnesium and manganese and the protein kinase activity in Arabidopsis chloroplasts. Our results show that overall, manganese ions are the strongest activator of kinase activity in chloroplasts followed by magnesium ions, whereas calcium ions have seemingly no effect. Additionally, when comparing the phosphorylation pattern from Arabidopsis wild type and a cmt1 mutant, which is defective in manganese import into chloroplasts, the phosphorylation of specific protein bands is strongly reduced in the mutant chloroplasts supporting the notion that chloroplasts contain manganese-dependent protein kinases. These findings provide insights for the future characterization of chloroplast protein kinases activity regarding in-vitro assays and potential target proteins.

Project description:The protein translocon of the outer envelope of chloroplasts (Toc) consists of the core subunits Toc159, Toc75, and Toc34. To investigate the molecular structure, the core complex was purified. This core complex has an apparent molecular mass of approximately 500 kD and a molecular stoichiometry of 1:4:4-5 between Toc159, Toc75, and Toc34. The isolated translocon recognizes both transit sequences and precursor proteins in a GTP-dependent manner, suggesting its functional integrity. The complex is embedded by the lipids phosphatidylcholine and digalactosyldiacylglyceride. Two-dimensional structural analysis by EM revealed roughly circular particles consistent with the formation of a stable core complex. The particles show a diameter of approximately 130 A with a solid ring and a less dense interior structure. A three-dimensional map obtained by random conical tilt reconstruction of electron micrographs suggests that a "finger"-like central region separates four curved translocation channels within one complex.

Project description:Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are crucial for organellar gene expression. To establish a tool for gene expression manipulation in Arabidopsis chloroplasts and genetically inaccessible mitochondria, we engineered designer (dPPR) proteins to specifically inhibit the translation of chloroplast and mitochondrial mRNAs by masking their start codons.Unlike prior methods for targeted downregulation of gene expression, which relied on re-targeting natural PPR proteins to RNA sequences closely related to their original targets, our approach employs a fully synthetic P-type PPR scaffold, programmable to bind any RNA sequence of interest. Here, using dPPR-psbK and dPPR-nad7, we targeted the psbKmRNA in chloroplasts and the nad7 mRNA in mitochondria, respectively. Our results demonstrated that dPPR-psbKeffectively binds and inhibits psbK translation with high specificity, resulting in disrupted PSII supercomplexes and reduced photosynthetic efficiency. Similarly, dPPR-nad7 suppressed nad7 translation, leading to decreased NADH oxidase activity in Complex I and growth retardation. By comparing the phenotypes with tobacco psbK knockouts and bir6-2 mutants, we could exclude any physiologically relevant off-target effects. These findings highlight dPPR proteins as precise tools for targeted translation inhibition, enabling functional studies of organellar genes and offering a novel approach for manipulating mitochondrial gene expression with potential applications across diverse plant species.

Project description:The survival of Gram-negative bacteria depends on assembly of the asymmetric outer membrane, which creates a barrier that prevents entry of toxic molecules including antibiotics. The outer leaflet of the outer membrane is composed of lipopolysaccharide, which is made at the inner membrane and pushed across a protein bridge that spans the inner and outer membranes. We have developed a fluorescent assay to follow lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transport across a bridge linking proteoliposomes that mimic the inner and outer membranes. We show that LPS is delivered to the leaflet of the outer membrane proteoliposome that corresponds to the outer leaflet of the membrane in a cell. Transport stops long before substrates at the inner membrane are exhausted. Using mutants of the transport machinery, we find that the final amount of LPS delivered into the membrane depends on the affinity of the outer membrane translocon for LPS. Furthermore, ATP hydrolysis depends on delivery of LPS into the outer membrane. Therefore, the transport process is regulated by the outer membrane translocon causing ATP hydrolysis in the inner membrane proteoliposome to stop. Negative feedback from the outer membrane to the inner membrane provides a mechanism for long distance control over LPS transport.

Project description:The function of Tic40 during chloroplast protein import was investigated. Tic40 is an inner envelope membrane protein with a large hydrophilic domain located in the stroma. Arabidopsis null mutants of the atTic40 gene were very pale green and grew slowly but were not seedling lethal. Isolated mutant chloroplasts imported precursor proteins at a lower rate than wild-type chloroplasts. Mutant chloroplasts were normal in allowing binding of precursor proteins. However, during subsequent translocation across the inner membrane, fewer precursors were translocated and more precursors were released from the mutant chloroplasts. Cross-linking experiments demonstrated that Tic40 was part of the translocon complex and functioned at the same stage of import as Tic110 and Hsp93, a member of the Hsp100 family of molecular chaperones. Tertiary structure prediction and immunological studies indicated that the C-terminal portion of Tic40 contains a TPR domain followed by a domain with sequence similarity to co-chaperones Sti1p/Hop and Hip. We propose that Tic40 functions as a co-chaperone in the stromal chaperone complex that facilitates protein translocation across the inner membrane.

Project description:Arabidopsis uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPP) is an essential enzyme and plants lacking this enzyme are strongly compromised in chloroplast function. Our analysis of UPP amiRNA mutants has confirmed that this vital function is crucial to establish a fully functional photosynthesis as the RIESKE iron sulfur protein (PetC) is almost absent, leading to a block in photosynthetic electron transport. Interestingly, this function appears to be unrelated to nucleotide homeostasis since nucleotide levels were not altered in the studied mutants. Transcriptomics and proteomic analysis showed that protein homeostasis but not gene expression is most likely responsible for this observation and high light (HL) provoked an upregulation of protease levels, including thylakoid filamentation temperature-sensitive 1, 5 (FtsH), caseinolytic protease proteolytic subunit 1 (ClpP1), and processing peptidases, as well as components of the chloroplast protein import machinery in UPP amiRNA lines. Strongly reduced PetC amounts were not only detected by immunoblot from mature plants but in addition in de-etiolation experiment with young seedlings and are causing reduced high light-induced non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) but increased unregulated energy dissipation (NO). Our work suggests that UPP assists in stabilization PetC during the assembly of the Fe-S cluster and targeting to the thylakoid or protects it against proteolytic degradation.

Project description:Malaria parasites remodel their host erythrocytes to gain nutrients and avoid the immune system. Host erythrocytes are modified by hundreds of effector proteins exported from the parasite into the host cell. Protein export is mediated by the PTEX translocon comprising five core components of which EXP2 is considered to form the putative pore that spans the vacuole membrane enveloping the parasite within its erythrocyte. To explore the function and importance of EXP2 for parasite survival in the asexual blood stage of Plasmodium falciparum we inducibly knocked down the expression of EXP2. Reduction in EXP2 expression strongly reduced parasite growth proportional to the degree of protein knockdown and tended to stall development about half way through the asexual cell cycle. Once the knockdown inducer was removed and EXP2 expression restored, parasite growth recovered dependent upon the length and degree of knockdown. To establish EXP2 function and hence the basis for growth reduction, the trafficking of an exported protein was monitored following EXP2 knockdown. This resulted in severe attenuation of protein export and is consistent with EXP2, and PTEX in general, being the conduit for export of proteins into the host compartment.
