The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of decreased
2-cysteine peroxiredoxin (2-CP) on the leaf anti-oxidative system in
Arabidopsis. At three stages of leaf development, two lines of
transgenic Arabidopsis mutants with decreased contents of chloroplast
2-CP were compared with wild type and a control line transformed with
an empty vector. Glutathione contents and redox state were similar in
all plants, and no changes in transcript levels for enzymes involved in
glutathione metabolism were observed. Transcript levels for
chloroplastic glutathione peroxidase were much lower than those for
2-CP, and both cytosolic and chloroplastic glutathione peroxidase were
not increased in the mutants. In contrast, the foliar ascorbate pool
was more oxidized in the mutants, although the difference decreased
with plant age. The activities of thylakoid and stromal ascorbate
peroxidase and particularly monodehydroascorbate reductase were
increased as were transcripts for these enzymes. No change in
dehydroascorbate reductase activity was observed, and effects on
transcript abundance for glutathione reductase, catalase, and
superoxide dismutase were slight or absent. The results demonstrate
that 2-CP forms an integral part of the anti-oxidant network of
chloroplasts and is functionally interconnected with other defense
systems. Suppression of 2-CP leads to increased expression of other
anti-oxidative genes possibly mediated by increased oxidation state of
the leaf ascorbate pool.
