A γ-subunit point mutation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast F 1 F o -ATP synthase confers tolerance to reactive oxygen species.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta. Bioenergetics 2017 December
The chloroplast F1 Fo -ATP synthase (CF1 Fo ) drives ATP synthesis and the reverse reaction of ATP hydrolysis. The enzyme evolved in a cellular environment where electron transfer processes and molecular oxygen are abundant, and thiol modulation in the γ-subunit via thioredoxin is important for its ATPase activity regulation. Especially under high light, oxygen can be reduced and forms reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can oxidize CF1 Fo among various other biomolecules. Mutation of the conserved ROS targets resulted in a tolerant enzyme, suggesting that ROS might play a regulatory role. The mutations had several side effects in vitro, including disturbance of the ATPase redox regulation [F. Buchert et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1817 (2012) 2038-2048]. This would prevent disentanglement of thiol- and ROS-specific modes of regulation. Here, we used the F1 catalytic core in vitro to identify a point mutant with a functional ATPase redox regulation and increased H2 O2 tolerance. In the next step, the mutation was introduced into Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CF1 Fo , thereby allowing us to study the physiological role of ROS regulation of the enzyme in vivo. We demonstrated in high light experiments that CF1 Fo ROS targets were involved in the significant inhibition of ATP synthesis rates. Molecular events upon modification of CF1 Fo by ROS will be considered.
