Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Photosynthesis is the major driver of leaf mesophyll energization and the provider of reduced C-, N- and S-metabolites for cell metabolism including amino acids for protein synthesis. The project started out with the hypothesis and first evidence that changes in incident photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) affects recruitment and translation of mRNAs at ribosomes by retrograde signalling on a short time scale of a few minutes. Two types of experiments addressed and proved this hypothesis. Low light-acclimated plants were transferred to 100-fold increased PAR and changes in polysome-associated transcripts were compared with changes in total mRNAs. Indeed, within 10 min after low light- to high lighttransfer, the translatome was reorganized. Analysis of the preferentially polysome-associated transcript revealed photosynthesis-related transcripts being up-regulated exclusively at the transcriptome and stress-related transcripts being increased in total mRNA and polysome association. Motifs in 5’-untranslated regions were identified and cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase GAPC1/2 as mRNA binding partner. We then also found reorganization of the translatome during daily light transitions in the morning and evening within 10 min after the switch in illumination and this process was affected by the cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase GAPC1/C2 as shown in gapc1/2 knock down plants. Results from studying the ability of the GAPC2 to bind to cis-motifs in 5’-UTR and its regulation in vitro were in line with a derived working model where binding of GAPC2, possibly representative for other enzymes of central metabolism, participate in tuning the translational activity in mesophyll cells depending on the energization state and the metabolic requirements.
