Popis: | Superoxide dismutases (SODs) protect against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by detoxifying superoxide. Three types of SOD are present in plants: FeSOD, CuSOD, and MnSOD. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains three FeSOD genes, in which two (FSD2, and FSD3) are targeted to chloroplast thylakoids. Loss of FSD2 or FSD3 expression impairs growth and causes leaf bleaching. FSD2 and FSD3 form heterocomplexes present in chloroplast nucleoids, raising the question of whether FSD2 and FSD3 are functionally interchangeable. In this study, we examined how loss of FSD2 or FSD3 expression affects photosynthetic processes and whether overexpression of one compensates for loss of the other. Whereas loss of the cytosolic FSD1 had little effect, an fsd2 mutant exhibited increased superoxide production, reduced chlorophyll levels, lower PSII efficiency, a lower rate of CO2 assimilation, but elevated non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). In contrast, fsd3 mutants failed to survive beyond the seedling stage and overexpression of FSD2 could not rescue the seedlings. Overexpression of FSD3 in an fsd2 mutant, however, partially reversed the fsd2 mutant phenotype resulting in improved growth characteristics. Overexpression of FSD2 or FSD3, either individually or together, had little effect. These results indicate that, despite functioning as FeSODs, FSD2 and FSD3 are functionally distinct. |
