We report the characterization of two members of a gene family from
Arabidopsis that encode, respectively, cytosolic (cPMSR) and
plastid-targeted (pPMSR) isoforms of the oxidative-stress-repair enzyme
peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase. Overexpression of these
proteins in Escherichia coli confirmed that each had PMSR enzyme activity with a synthetic substrate,
N-acetyl-[3H]-methionine sulfoxide, or a
biological substrate, -1 proteinase inhibitor. The pPMSR was
imported into intact chloroplasts in vitro with concomitant cleavage of
its approximately 5-kD N-terminal signal peptide. The two PMSR isoforms
exhibited divergent pH optima, tissue localization, and responses to
developmental and environmental effects. Analysis of the Arabidopsis
database indicated that there are probably at least two
p-pmsr-like genes and three c-pmsr-like genes in the Arabidopsis genome. Expression of the
p-pmsr genes and their protein products was restricted
to photosynthetic tissues and was strongly induced following
illumination of etiolated seedlings. In contrast, the
c-pmsr genes were expressed at moderate levels in all
tissues and were only weakly affected by light. Exposure to a variety
of biotic and abiotic stresses showed relatively little effect on
pmsr gene expression, with the exception of leaves subjected to a long-term exposure to the cauliflower mosaic virus. These leaves showed a strong induction of the c-pmsr
gene after 2 to 3 weeks of chronic pathogen infection. These data
suggest novel roles for PMSR in photosynthetic tissues and in pathogen defense responses in plants.
