Involvement of autophagy in regulating chloroplast development in Arabidopsis

摘要
Autophagy plays multiple roles in the plastid degradation during senescence and/or stresses,particularly in the chloroplast. However,relatively little is known about the role of autophagy in the developmental process of chloroplasts. Here,we characterized the relationship between autophagy and a chloroplast protein(CP1),which was identified to interact with Atg8 from a yeast two hybrid screen. Our results further revealed that CP1 also interacts with Atg8 in planta,and Atg5 and Atg7 are required for the autophagy-mediated degradation of CP1. Nevertheless,our results also indicated that the interaction between Atg8 and CP1 was controlled by a specific Atg8-interacting motif(AIM). So far,there are two mechanisms,ATI1-PS and Rubisco-containing body(RCB),controlling the plastid proteins trafficking from plastids to the vacuole in the autophagy-dependent manner. In this study,we found that autophagy-mediated transport of CP1 from plastid to the vacuole is independent on both ATI1-PS and RCB pathways,suggesting a novel unknown mechanism underlying this process. In addition,two other proteins CP2 and CP3 that has been found to regulate chloroplast development were also evident to be turned over by autophagy. Therefore,we propose that autophagy may be involved in the chloroplast development through the regulation of the homeostasis of a subset of chloroplast proteins in plant.
