Using
Arabidopsis, we analyzed the effect of omission of a nitrogen source
and of the addition of different nitrogen-containing compounds on the
extractable activity and the enzyme and mRNA accumulation of adenosine
5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APR). During 72 h without a nitrogen
source, the APR activity decreased to 70% and 50% of controls in
leaves and roots, respectively, while cysteine (Cys) and glutathione
contents were not affected. Northern and western analysis revealed that
the decrease of APR activity was correlated with decreased mRNA and
enzyme levels. The reduced APR activity in roots could be fully
restored within 24 h by the addition of 4 mM each of
NO3 , NH4+, or
glutamine (Gln), or 1 mM O-acetylserine
(OAS). 35SO42 feeding showed that
after addition of NH4+, Gln, or OAS to
nitrogen-starved plants, incorporation of 35S into proteins
significantly increased in roots; however, glutathione and Cys labeling
was higher only with Gln and OAS or with OAS alone, respectively. OAS
strongly increased mRNA levels of all three APR isoforms in roots and
also those of sulfite reductase, Cys synthase, and serine
acetyltransferase. Our data demonstrate that sulfate reduction is
regulated by nitrogen nutrition at the transcriptional level and that
OAS plays a major role in this regulation.
