how can plants be regulated?
regulation by light in the plasid
(metabolic) interaction of the plastid with other components
gene regulation (“crosstalk”) bewteen nucleus and chloroplast
regulation of photoreceptors
why does the chloroplasts need to be regulated by light?
many biosynthetic pathways need regulation:
CO2 fixation (Calvin cycle)
sulfate reduction
synthesis of pigments
gene expression in the plastid
translation of proteins
what are parameters for the regulation by light in plastids?
how does the redox regulation of ferrodoxin work?
what are thioredoxins?
small redox proteins
are ubiquitous (from prokarytotes to plants and animals)
at the N-Terminus a WCGPC is present, which is responsible for redox-regulation
tertiary structure and redox potential are decisive for the substrate specificity
regulation works by forming and cleaving of the disulfide bride (cytsine formation)
how does the redox regulation of FBP works?
cyle depends on the redox state of the electron transport chain
> or redox state of ferrodoxin
how is RubisCO regulated?
RubisCo-activase removes (ATP dependent) CA1P
by this carbomylation of the avtive centre becomes possible
formation of a complex with Mg2+
How dies the regulation of the PEP-carboxlase works?
what are further possibilities to regulate the chloroplast?
feedback inhibition and allosteric regulation
glutathione/glutathionylation (like Tx)
reversible (lysin)-acetylation (especially for enyzmes)
how does the calvin cycle work?
how does the day/night regulation of the calvin cycle work?
how does the carbohydrate mechanism work?
during day:
starch: synthesized and stored in the chloroplast
sucrose: sythesized in the cytosol from triose-P, which originates from the plastid, transport in other tissued for storage
during night:
consumption of the stores carbohydeates in the chloroplast and elsewhere
what is the phosphate problem of the carnohydrate metabolism?
3-phosphoglycerate and triose-P and the main metabolites in the chloroplast
5/6 of the pool are needed for regenration pf ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate in the Clavin cyle
further losses by photorespiration
only 1/8 of the pool is exported
> no more export allowed, since otherwise lack of P in the plastid
> too little export not allowed, since otherwise lack of P in the plastid
how is the sucrose synthesis regulated in the cytosol?
high amounts of triose-P or high consumption of sucrose:
stron sucrose synthesis
> sufficient use of triose-P is guranteed
triose-P/Pi - translocator:
if no sucrose synthesis possible, no Pi import into chloroplst, no further triode-P-export
> perfect adjustment of triose-P export
how does thetrios-P/Pi translocator works?
if no sucrose sythesis possible, no import into chloroplast no further triose-P export
> starch as buffer for the phosphate pool
how does the nitrate assimilation work?
nitrate and nitrite reducton have to be synchonised (prevention of toxic nitrite)
nitrate reduction is turned off in the leaf darkness (becuase nitrite reduction and following reactions depend on Fd, NADPH and ATP photosynthesis)
how is the nitrate reductase gene inactivated?
light, nitrate and glucose induce gene expression of nitrate reductase, glutamine inhibits
regulation of enzyme activity:
phosphoryltaion folllowed by binding of an inhibitory protein inactivates, kinase inhibited by triose-P (produced in the light by the plastid), i.e. light inhibits via triose-P, in darkness inhibition can occur
what are anteogade signals?
from nucleus to chloroplast
triggered by e.g. photoreceptors or circadian clock
what are retrogade signals?
from plastid to nucleus
transmit informationabout the development state of the plastid (biogenic signals)
transmit information about the photosynthesis and metabolism(operation signal)
what kinds of retrogade signals exist?
intermediateof chlorophyll (tetrapyrrol)-synthesis, mainly Mg-Protoporphyrin-IC
other metabolites
plastidic gene expression
plastidic transcription factors
ROS
redox signals
why does the synthesis/assembly of photosystems and antenna systems has to be co-ordinated ?
gene expression two genomes has to be regulated (e.g. genes for PSII (lastidic) with LHC (nuclear encoded))
chlorophyll synthesis intermediates (from Mg-protoporphyrin IX onwards) are phototoxic
how does the synthesis and assembly of LHC and photosystems work?
if chlorophyll/photosystem assembly is disturbed, the plastid sends a signal, mainly via GUN1 and Mg-protoporphyrin IX, to switch off nuclear photosynthesis genes (PhANGs) through factors like ABI4/HY5
no D1-synthesis:
Gum1 inhibits psbO- and LHCII-mRNA synthesis in the nucleus (via PTM and ABI4)
d1-synthesis,but no assembly (no use of CHl a) > Mg-protoprphyrin IX inibits
how does the redox status of he electron transfer chain work?
where does the different photoreceptors absorb?
UVR8: UV, about 300–350 nm.
• BLUF receptor: about 320–500 nm.
• Cryptochrome: about 350–500 nm.
• Aureochrome: about 350–550 nm.
• Phototropin / Zeitlupe: about 350–550 nm.
• Rhodopsin: about 450–600 nm.
• Phytochrome: about 600–800 nm.
light absorption induces cellulae changes
> change of transcription
> change of membane potential (e.g. opening stomata
what are the different photoreceptors in photosynthetic organisms?
whats UVR8?
UV receptor, reception via tryptophan
many photomorphogenetic reactions
dimeric, monomerisation after absorpton
monomer interacts with COP1
whats Phytochrome?
soluble protein with a nuclear import domain (inside PASdomian)
absorption of red light leads to Pfr (active form)
absorption of far-red light leads to Pr (inactive form)
chromophore. phytochromobilin (inear tetrapyrolle)
histii kinase relateddomain (HKRD) = classical effector domain, but specifity unclear
active form (PFR) ins to transcription factors

cryptochrome: animal/plant/DASH
how is cryptochrome structured?
photolyasesand CRY very similar
FAD and second chromophore, mostlyMTHF or HDF
ho is the absorption curve of cryptochrome?
MTHF as antenna chrmophore
here: FADH* bound, oxidises by time. in the dark FAD
BL- (and UV) - absorption, mainly MTHF
how does the chryptochrome phosphorylation works?
Cryptochromes (CRY1/CRY2): in the dark they are inactive; blue light activates them by phosphorylation, then they form a signaling complex with COP1/SPA, which stabilizes HY5 and triggers de-etiolation and flowering.
light-induced auto-phosphorylation at CTE (also calles CCE)
incease of HY5 content by inhibition of its degradation
