- PublicationAccès libreChloroplast lipid droplet type II NAD(P)H oxidoreductase, NDC1, is essential for vitamin E and K1 metabolism(2017)
; Les cellules végétales possèdent dans leurs différents tissus des organelles spécialisées appartenant à la famille des plastes. Le chloroplaste est le principal membre de cette famille et il est responsable de la photosynthèse dans les plantes. La majorité des plastes contiennent des particules lipoprotéiques ("gouttelettes lipidiques") appelées plastoglobules.
Peu est connu au sujet des plastoglobules qui ont été pendant une longue période imaginés comme des gouttelettes de stockage passif. En effet, le cœur hydrophobe des plastoglobules chloroplastiques contiennent des lipides neutres comme les prénylquinones (plastoquinone, plastochromanol-8, phylloquinone, tocophérol), les caroténoïdes, les triacylglycérols, les phytyl esters et d'autres lipides inconnus.
Les plastoglobules sont aussi composés de protéines et certaines d'entre-elles participent à des réactions métaboliques qui se déroulent dans les plastoglobules.
Pendant mon doctorat, j’ai démontré que NDC1 (NADP(H) déshydrogénase C1 (At5g08740), prédite comme une NAD(P)H-dépendante réductase de quinones, est physiquement associé aux gouttelettes lipidiques des chloroplastes.
Grâce à la génétique inverse et une approche in vitro il a été démontré que NDC1 contrôle l'état redox du réservoir de plastoquinone en injectant des électrons dans le plastoquinone à l’intérieur des plastoglobules. Cet effet sur l'état redox des plastoquinones facilitent l'accumulation du plastochromanol. Nous pouvons supposer que NDC1 puisse jouer un rôle en tant que réducteur des intermédiaires quinones qui précèdent la cyclisation par VTE1.
De manière surprenante, NDC1 est requis pour la dernière étape de méthylation lors de la biosynthèse de la phylloquinone (Vitamine K1). En effet, les mutants ndc1 accumulent le précurseur non-méthylé, le 2-phythyl-1,4-naphtoquinone ce qui montre que NDC1 est une enzyme indispensable de cette voie de biosynthèse.
L’ensemble des découvertes permettent d'affirmer que les plastoglobules ne sont pas un simple lieu de stockage de lipides mais ils possèdent un rôle dans les métabolismes biosynthétique et énergétique., Plant cells in different tissues contain specialized organelles belonging to the family of plastids. The chloroplast is the most prominent family member and responsible for photosynthesis in leaves. Most plastid types contain lipoprotein particles ("lipid droplets") termed plastoglobules. Little is known about plastoglobules that were long regarded as passive storage droplets. Indeed, the hydrophobic core of chloroplast plastoglobules contains neutral lipids such as the prenylquinones, carotenoids, triacylglycerols, phytyl esters and others unknown. Plastoquinone, plastochromanol-8, phylloquinone and tocopherol are prenylquinone molecules stored partly in the plastoglobule but functioning in the chloroplast thylakoids. Plastoglobules also carry proteins and some of these have been demonstrated to participate in metabolic reactions taking place at plastoglobules.
During my PhD work I demonstrated that NDC1 (NAD(P)H dehydrogenase C1 (At5g08740)), a candidate plastoglobule protein and predicted NAD(P)H-dependent quinone reductase is physically associated with the lipid droplets. A combined reverse genetic and in vitro approach demonstrated that NDC1 controls the overall REDOX state of the total plastoquinone reservoir. NDC1 does so by reducing the plastoquinone reservoir of plastoglobules. These findings provided evidence that plastoglobules are not simply a lipid storage site but have a role in energy metabolism. Besides its effects on the plastoquinone REDOX state NDC1 also facilitates plastochromanol accumulation and, surprisingly, is required for the last methylation step in phylloquinone (Vitamin K1) biosynthesis. The ndc1 mutant accumulates the non-methylated precursor, the 2-phythyl-1,4-naphtoquinone but up to now we have been unable to determine the precise mechanism. In conclusion, I have shown that NDC1 is a unique electron input device affecting the REDOX state of the overall plastoquinone pool. But more than that NDC1 is a key player at the intersection of a variety of prenylquinone metabolic pathways. By mutant analysis, I identified that NDC1 is the second enzyme that is implicated in the tocopherol redox cycle. Presumably NDC1 plays a role as reducer of quinone intermediates foregoing the cyclization by VTE1. It has been also demonstrated that high light stress triggers far-ranging changes in prenylquinone composition studied in mutants and overexpressing lines of VTE1 and NDC1 enzymes. The discovery that NDC1 is a new component of phylloquinone biosynthesis pathway is the single most important result of my thesis. - PublicationAccès libreRole of plastoglobules in metabolite repair in the tocopherol redox cycle
; ; Besagni, CélinePlants are exposed to ever changing light environments and continuously forced to adapt. Excessive light intensity leads to the production of reactive oxygen species that can have deleterious effects on photosystems and thylakoid membranes. To limit damage, plants increase the production of membrane soluble antioxidants such as tocopherols. Here, untargeted lipidomics after high light treatment showed that among hundreds of lipid compounds alpha-tocopherol is the most strongly induced, underscoring its importance as an antioxidant. As part of the antioxidant mechanism, a-tocopherol undergoes a redox cycle involving oxidative opening of the chromanol ring. The only enzyme currently known to participate in the cycle is tocopherol cyclase (VTE1, At4g32770), that re-introduces the chromanol ring of a-tocopherol. By mutant analysis, we identified the NAD(P)H-dependent quinone oxidoreductase (NDC1, At5g08740) as a second enzyme implicated in this cycle. NDC1 presumably acts through the reduction of quinone intermediates preceding cyclization by VTE1. Exposure to high light also triggered far-ranging changes in prenylquinone composition that we dissect herein using null mutants and lines overexpressing the VTE1 and NDC1 enzymes. - PublicationAccès librePlastid lipid droplets at the crossroads of prenylquinone metabolism
; ; Besagni, CélineLipid droplets called plastoglobules (PGs) exist in most plant tissues and plastid types. In chloroplasts, the polar lipid monolayer surrounding these low-density lipoprotein particles is continuous with the outer lipid leaflet of the thylakoid membrane. Often small clusters of two or three PGs, only one of them directly connected to thylakoids, are present. Structural proteins (known as plastid-lipid associated proteins/fibrillins or plastoglobulins) together with lipid metabolic enzymes coat the PGs. The hydrophobic core of PGs contains a range of neutral lipids including the prenylquinones [tocopherols (vitamin E), phylloquinone (vitamin K1), and plastoquinone (PQ-9)]. In this review the function of PGs and their associated enzymes in prenylquinone metabolism will be discussed. - PublicationAccès libreChloroplast lipid droplet type II NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase is essential for prenylquinone metabolism and vitamin K(1) accumulation
; ; Havaux, MichelLipid droplets are ubiquitous cellular structures in eukaryotes and are required for lipid metabolism. Little is currently known about plant lipid droplets other than oil bodies. Here, we define dual roles for chloroplast lipid droplets (plastoglobules) in energy and prenylquinone metabolism. The prenylquinones—plastoquinone, plastochromanol-8, phylloquinone (vitamin K(1)), and tocopherol (vitamin E)—are partly stored in plastoglobules. This work shows that NAD(P)H dehydrogenase C1 (NDC1) (At5g08740), a type II NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase, associates with plastoglobules. NDC1 reduces a plastoquinone analog in vitro and affects the overall redox state of the total plastoquinone pool in vivo by reducing the plastoquinone reservoir of plastoglobules. Finally, NDC1 is required for normal plastochromanol-8 accumulation and is essential for vitamin K(1) production.
