Plastid lipid-associated proteins, also termed fibrillin/CDSP34 proteins, are known to accumulate in fibrillar-type chromoplasts such as those of ripening pepper fruit, and in leaf chloroplasts from Solanaceae plants under abiotic stress conditions. It is shown here that treatments generating active oxygen species (high light combined with low temperature, gamma irradiation or methyl viologen treatment) result in potato CDSP34 gene induction and protein accumulation in leaves. Using transgenic tomato plants containing the pepper fibrillin promoter, a significant increase in promoter activity in leaves subjected to biotic stress, namely bacterial infections, was observed. In WT, a higher level of the endogenous fibrillin/CDSP34 protein is also observed after infection by E. chrysanthemi strain 3739. In addition to stress-related induction, a progressive increase in the fibrillin promoter activity is noticed during ageing in various tomato photosynthetic tissues and this increase correlates with a higher abundance of the endogenous protein in WT leaves. It is proposed that a mechanism related to oxidative events plays an essential role in the regulation of fibrillin/CDSP34 genes during stress and also during development. Using a biolistic transient expression assay, the pepper fibrillin promoter is found to be active in various dicot species, but not in monocots. Further, substantially increased levels of fibrillin/ CDSP34 proteins are shown in various dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants in response to water deficit.
Key words: Abiotic and biotic stress, ageing, CDSP34/fibrillin accumulation, oxidative stress, Solanaceae.
