Abstract
Light is a vital environmental signal that regulates the expression of plastid genes. Plastids are crucial organelles that respond to light, but the effects of light on plastid RNA processing following transcription remain unclear. In this study, we systematically examined the influence of light exposure on plastid RNA processing, focusing on RNA splicing and RNA editing. We demonstrated that light promotes the splicing of transcripts from the plastid genes rps12, ndhA, atpF, petB, and rpl2. Additionally, light increased the editing rate of the accD transcript at nucleotide 794 (accD-794) and the ndhF transcript at nucleotide 290 (ndhF-290), while decreasing the editing rate of the clpP transcript at nucleotide 559 (clpP-559). We have identified key regulators of signaling pathways, such as CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), and PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs), as important players in the regulation of plastid RNA splicing and editing. Notably, COP1 was required for GENOMES UNCOUPLED1 (GUN1)-dependent repression of clpP-559 editing in the light. We showed that HY5 and PIF1 bind to the promoters of nuclear genes encoding plastid-localized RNA processing factors in a light-dependent manner. This study provides insight into the mechanisms underlying light-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of plastid gene expression.
