title: Proteomic identification and characterization of a novel peroxisomal adenine nucleotide transporter supplying ATP for fatty acid beta-oxidation in soybean and Arabidopsis.
abstract: We have identified the novel protein Glycine max PEROXISOMAL ADENINE NUCLEOTIDE CARRIER (Gm PNC1) by proteomic analyses of peroxisomal membrane proteins using a blue native/SDS-PAGE technique combined with peptide mass fingerprinting. Gm PNC1, and the Arabidopsis thaliana orthologs At PNC1 and At PNC2, were targeted to peroxisomes. Functional integration of Gm PNC1 and At PNC2 into the cytoplasmic membranes of intact Escherichia coli cells revealed ATP and ADP import activities. The amount of Gm PNC1 in cotyledons increased until 5 d after germination under constant darkness and then decreased very rapidly in response to illumination. We investigated the physiological functions of PNC1 in peroxisomal metabolism by analyzing a transgenic Arabidopsis plant in which At PNC1 and At PNC2 expression was suppressed using RNA interference. The pnc1/2i mutant required sucrose for germination and suppressed the degradation of storage lipids during postgerminative growth. These results suggest that PNC1 contributes to the transport of adenine nucleotides that are consumed by reactions that generate acyl-CoA for peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation during postgerminative growth.
