Main conclusion
This work reveals information about new peroxisomal targeting signals type 1 and identifies trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase I as multitargeted and is implicated in plant development, reproduction, and stress response.
Abstract
A putative, non-canonical peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 (PTS1) Pro-Arg-Met > was identified in the extreme C-terminus of trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP)I. TPP catalyzes the final step of trehalose synthesis, and the enzyme was previously characterized to be nuclear only (Krasensky et al. in Antioxid Redox Signal 21(9):1289–1304, 2014). Here we show that the TPPI C-terminal decapeptide ending with Pro-Arg-Met > or Pro-Lys-Met > can indeed function as a PTS1. Upon transient expression in two plant expression systems, the free C- or N-terminal end led to the full-length TPPI targeting to peroxisomes and plastids, respectively. The nucleus and nucleolus targeting of the full-length TPPI was observed in both cases. The homozygous T-DNA insertion line of TPPI showed a pleiotropic phenotype including smaller leaves, shorter roots, delayed flowering, hypersensitivity to salt, and a sucrose dependent seedling development. Our results identify novel PTS1s, and TPPI as a protein multi-targeted to peroxisomes, plastids, nucleus, and nucleolus. Altogether our findings implicate an essential role for TPPI in development, reproduction, and cell signaling.
