LCNP is a chloroplastic lipocalin induced in response to various abiotic stresses, while its protective mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, it was found that human APOD can partially compensate for the lack of LCNP in Arabidopsis thaliana under different abiotic stresses. This suggests a conserved function of APOD and LCNP in stressful conditions.
The chloroplastic lipocalin (LCNP) is induced in response to various abiotic stresses including high light, dehydration and low temperature. It contributes to protection against oxidative damage promoted by adverse conditions by preventing accumulation of fatty acid hydroperoxides and lipid peroxidation. In contrast to animal lipocalins, LCNP is poorly characterized and the molecular mechanism by which it exerts protective effects during oxidative stress is largely unknown. LCNP is considered the ortholog of human apolipopmtein D (APOD), a protein whose lipid antioxidant function has been characterized. Here, we investigated whether APOD could functionally replace LCNP in Arabidopsis thaliana. We introduced APOD cDNA fused to a chloroplast transit peptide encoding sequence in an Arabidopsis LCNP KO mutant line and challenged the transgenic plants with different abiotic stresses. We demonstrated that expression of human APOD in Arabidopsis can partially compensate for the lack of the plastid lipocalin. The results are consistent with a conserved function of APOD and LCNP under stressful conditions. However, if the results obtained with the drought and oxidative stresses point to the protective effect of constitutive expression of APOD in plants lacking LCNP, this effect is not as effective as that conferred by LCNP overexpression. Moreover, when investigating APOD function in thylakoids after high light stress at low temperature, it appeared that APOD could not contribute to qH, a slowly reversible form of non-photochemical chlorophyll fluorescence quenching, as described for LCNP. This work provides a base of understanding the molecular mechanism underlying LCNP protective function.
