Alternative Splice Variants

Rhomboid serine proteases are grouped into three main types — secretases, presenilin-like associated rhomboid-like (PARL) proteases, and “inactive” rhomboid proteins. Although the three rhomboid groups are distinct, the different types are likely to operate within the same cell or compartment, such as observed in the plastids of Arabidopsis. There are four distinct plastid rhomboid genes at play in Arabidopsis plastids, two for active types (At1g25290 and At5g25752) and two for inactive forms (At1g74130 and At1g74140). The number of working plastid rhomboids is further increased by alternative splicing, as reported for At1g25290. To understand how the plastid rhomboid system works, it is necessary to identify all rhomboid forms in play. To this end, this study was designed to examine the alternative splicing activities of At1g74130, one of the two genes encoding proteolytically “inactive” plastid rhomboids. The exon mapping and DNA sequencing results obtained here indicate the presence of three prominent alternative splice variants in the At1g74130 transcript population. The dominant splice variant, L, encodes the full-length protein. The other two splice variants, M and S, produce proteins lacking sections from the carboxyl transmembrane domain region. The splice variants M and S appear to be at levels with functional potential and appear to adjust relative to each other during development and in response to changes in the level of Tic40, a component of the plastid translocon. The splice variant proteins themselves exhibit different characteristics with respect to rhomboid protein–substrate interactions. These differences were observed in bacterial co-expression pull-down assays and in yeast mitochondrial studies. When considered together, the data suggest that the alternative splicing of At1g74130 bears functional significance in Arabidopsis and is likely to be part of a mechanism for diversifying plastid rhomboid function.
