The Arabidopsis minE mutation causes new plastid and FtsZ1 localization phenotypes in the leaf epidermis

Abstract: Plastids in the leaf epidermal cells of plants are regarded as immature chloroplasts that, like mesophyll chloroplasts, undergo binary fission. While mesophyll chloroplasts have generally been used to study plastid division, recent studies have suggested the presence of tissue- or plastid type-dependent regulation of plastid division. Here, we report the detailed morphology of plastids and their stromules, and the intraplastidic localization of the chloroplast division-related protein AtFtsZ1-1, in the leaf ep… Show more

“…As previously reported (Fujiwara et al ), epidermal plastids in minE1 assumed various morphologies, such as swollen giant plastids and grape‐shaped plastid clusters. Although one of the outstanding features of epidermal plastids in parc6‐5 was the multiple occurrence of stromule‐like anastomoses (or bridges) that connected the sub‐plastid bodies within a single plastid, such structures were less evident in minE1 parc6‐5 , as well as in minE1 .…”

“…These lines of evidence suggest that non‐photosynthetic plastids can divide without the machinery required for conventional chloroplast division (Pyke , Miyagishima et al ). In support of this hypothesis, differential impacts of mutations in the A. thaliana genes for chloroplast division‐associated proteins on chloroplasts and other plastid types were also reported, describing almost normal plastid size and number in some non‐green cells of the minD1 ( arc11 ), arc3 and mcd1 mutants (Fujiwara et al , Wang et al , Fujiwara et al ) and enhanced formation of stromules (see below) from non‐mesophyll plastids in the arc3 , arc5 , arc6 and minE1 mutants (Holzinger et al , Kojo et al , Fujiwara et al ).…”

“…Mutations in the ARC3 and ARC6 genes that reduce chloroplast division in Arabidopsis also result in increased stromule length (Holzinger et al, 2008). ARC3 mutants act through minE (Angel et al, 2013), and stromule frequency is increased in Arabidopsis minE1 mutants, which are affected in chloroplast division site placement (Fujiwara et al, 2015). FtsZ rings could theoretically provide constrictions that narrow incipient plastid projections into stromules, but experimental evidence for such a process is currently lacking.…”

“…A role of the dynamin-related GTPase ARC5 in production of stromule-derived vesicles merits further investigation. The possible involvement of FtsZ in "stromule fission" has been proposed (Fujiwara et al, 2015). The ultimate fate of the broken stromule "tips" is unknown-are they taken up by plastids, or do they enter other organelles within the cells?…”
