Abstract
AbstractLoss of Lon1 in plant mitochondria led to stunted plant growth and accumulation of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins, including Lon1 substrates, while mitochondrial-encoded proteins typically decreased in abundance. Lon1 mutants contained protein aggregates in the mitochondria matrix which were enriched in PPR-containing proteins and ribosomal subunits of the translation apparatus and were slowed in mitochondrial RNA splicing, editing and general translation rate. Transcriptome analysis showed multiple organellar unfolded protein responses involving ethylene biosynthesis were induced by either Lon1 loss, mitochondrial ribosomal protein loss, translation or respiratory inhibition and most were regulated by the mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathway dependent on the transcription factor NAC017. The short hypocotyl inlon1mutants during skotomorphogenesis was partially rescued by ethylene inhibitors and mutants showed higher ethylene production rates than wildtype. Together this provides multiple steps in the link between loss of Lon1 and its whole plant phenotype.Single Sentence SummaryLon1 knockout inhibits mitochondrial-encoded gene translation and induces retrograde signaling involving unfolded protein responses.
