PUMPKIN, the Sole Plastid UMP Kinase, Associates with Group II Introns and Alters Their Metabolism

Abstract: The chloroplast hosts photosynthesis and a variety of metabolic pathways that are essential for plant viability and acclimation processes. In this study, we show that the sole plastid UMP kinase (PUMPKIN) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) associates specifically with the introns of the plastid transcripts trnG-UCC, trnV-UAC, petB, petD, and ndhA in vivo, as revealed by RNA immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (RIP-Seq); and that PUMPKIN can bind RNA efficiently in vitro. Analyses of target tran… Show more

“…Interestingly, the enzyme binds certain plastidic transcripts and is involved in plastid RNA metabolism, which may not require its enzymatic function. Mutants are small and compromised in plastid translation and photosynthetic performance (Schmid et al, 2019). The orthologous enzyme in rice is localized in chloroplasts and participates in RNA metabolism, and the corresponding loss-of-function mutants are pale green (Zhu et al, 2016;Chen et al, 2018a).…”

“…These results indicate that UPP plays a vital role in the establishment of photosynthesis, but that this role is independent of the protein's UPRT activity. Interestingly, the two enzymes downstream of UPP in the plastidic uracil salvage pathway, UMP kinase (EC 2.7.1.14) and nucleoside diphosphate kinase 2 (EC 2.7.4.6), are also moonlighting proteins that function in photosynthetic mechanisms (Dorion and Rivoal, 2015;Schmid et al, 2019). These findings not only reveal a crucial role for UPP in establishing photosynthetic capacity, but also Figure 1.…”
