In order to cope with the frequent adverse stress caused by global climate change, it is of great significance to comprehensively and clearly understand the different regulatory mechanisms of plants in the face of stress response. In plant stress resistance studies, it was found that abiotic stress inhibits plant photosynthesis, affects the stability of chloroplasts and induces chloroplast degradation. Chloroplast degradation can lead to premature senescence and ultimately affect crop yield.

Chloroplasts are important organelles that provide a source of energy for plants. The turnover of the internal chloroplast proteins is regulated by protease of the prokaryote type, while the outer membrane protein is degraded by the E3 ligase SP1 mediated ubiquitin-proteasome system in the chloroplast for response to developmental and environmental signals. However, the mechanism for this is still unclear.

On February 22, 2019, Science published "Ubiquitin-dependent chloroplast-associated protein degradation in plants" from the team of Professor Paul Jarvis of the University of Oxford, UK. They discovered a new chloroplast protein degradation responsible for the degradation of outer membrane proteins. System - CHLORAD (chloroplast-associated protein degradation).

Using forward genetics screening and proteomic analysis, the researchers identified two important components (SP2 and CDC48) that work together and are responsible for the reverse transport of the substrate so that the substrate is degraded by the proteasome in the cytosol. Specifically (Figure 1), the SP1 E3 ligase directs ubiquitination (Ub) of the target protein. The SP2 and CDC48 protein intermediates are targeted for reverse transport to the cytosol, providing conduit and driving force for the process, respectively. Upon release into the cytosol, the target protein is degraded by the 26S proteasome (26SP).

This is the first reported biochemical pathway for the systematic export of individual proteins from chloroplasts, and is different from the previously reported protein transport process (transport from cytoplasm to chloroplast), which is reversed. In addition, the researchers found that by manipulating the CHLORAD pathway, plants can be altered to tolerance, suggesting that CHLORAD is involved in the regulation of plant stress. Therefore, the results of this study can provide a new theoretical basis for improving the stress resistance of crops, which is of great significance.

In recent years, more and more research in the field of plant stress resistance has used the omics technology as a breakthrough to discover new regulatory mechanisms. For example, in the process of searching for the components of the TOC complex, we have used proteomics. Technology . In addition, this mechanism study also fully illustrates the important role of ubiquitination-proteasome degradation in plant stress resistance, and the use of modified omics to conduct plant stress resistance studies is also a "bright spot".
