Chloroplast division involves complex protein interactions, with PDV1 playing a crucial role in stabilizing PARC6. Under light conditions, reduction of a disulfide bond within PARC6 promotes its interaction with PDV1, ultimately leading to chloroplast division. Magnesium ions also enhance PARC6 dimerization, further contributing to the regulation of chloroplast division.
Chloroplast division involves the coordination of protein complexes from the stroma to the cytosol. The Min system of chloroplasts includes multiple stromal proteins that regulate the positioning of the division site. The outer envelope protein PLASTID DIVISION1 (PDV1) was previously reported to recruit the cytosolic chloroplast division protein ACCUMULATION AND REPLICATION OF CHLOROPLAST5 (ARC5). However, we show here that PDV1 is also important for the stability of the inner envelope chloroplast division protein PARALOG OF ARC6 (PARC6), a component of the Min system. We solved the structure of both the C-terminal domain of PARC6 and its complex with the C terminus of PDV1. The formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond within PARC6 under oxidized conditions prevents its interaction with PDV1. Interestingly, this disulfide bond can be reduced by light in planta, thus promoting PDV1-PARC6 interaction and chloroplast division. Interaction with PDV1 can induce the dimerization of PARC6, which is important for chloroplast division. Magnesium ions, whose concentration in chloroplasts increases upon light exposure, also promote the PARC6 dimerization. This study highlights the multilayer regulation of the PDV1-PARC6 interaction as well as chloroplast division.
