The role of the Arabidopsis tandem zinc-finger C3H15 protein in metal homeostasis
Living organisms have developed finely regulated homeostatic networks to mitigate the effects of environmental fluctuations in transition metal micronutrients, including iron, zinc, and copper. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the tandem zinc-finger protein Cth2 post-transcriptionally regulates gene expression under conditions of iron deficiency by controlling the levels of mRNAs that code for non-essential ferroproteins. The molecular mechanism involves Cth2 binding to AU-rich elements present in the 3′ untranslated region of target mRNAs, negatively affecting their stability and translation. Arabidopsis thaliana has two TZF proteins homologous to yeast Cth2, C3H14 and C3H15, which participate in cell wall remodelling. The present work examines the expression of representative metal homeostasis genes with putative AREs in plants with altered levels of C3H14 and C3H15 grown under varying metal availabilities. The results suggest that C3H15 may act as a post-transcriptional plant modulator of metal adequacy, as evidenced by the expression of SPL7, the main transcriptional regulator under copper deficiency, and PETE2, which encodes plastocyanin. In contrast to S. cerevisiae, the plant C3H15 affects copper and zinc homeostasis rather than iron. When grown under copper-deficient conditions, adult C3H15OE plants exhibit lower chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency compared to control plants, suggesting accelerated senescence. Likewise, metal content in C3H15OE plants under copper deficiency shows altered mobilization of copper and zinc to seeds. These data suggest that the C3H15 protein plays a role in modulating both cell wall remodelling and metal homeostasis. The interaction between these processes may be the cause of altered metal translocation.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
