NBR1 associates with chloroplasts after HL exposure.

(A) Confocal imaging of NBR1-GFP and chlorophyll autofluorescence in cotyledons and hypocotyl cells of 8-day-old wild-type seedlings grown under low light (LL, 40 μmol m–2 s–1) or left to recover for 24 hr after exposure to 2 hr HL conditions (HL, 1,500 μmol m–2 s–1) at 12 °C. After HL exposure, NBR1 either coated the surface of chloroplasts and stromules or localized inside chloroplasts. (B) Box and whisker plots represent the percentage of chloroplast associated with NBR1-GFP in 8-day-old seedlings grown under LL or 24 hr after HL exposure. At least 35 confocal images from 7 to 12 cotyledons were analyzed for each condition.

Representative experiment showing data from at least 5 randomly selected chloroplasts for each condition. (D) Ratio of chlorophyll fluorescence intensities at 517.4 m and 683.4 nm. Representative experiment showing data from 6 chloroplasts with or without NBR1-GFP from 8 day old cotyledons 24 hr after HL exposure.

(E) Confocal imaging of cotyledons from 8-day-old seedling expressing mCherry-NBR1 in nbr1 and atg7 plants grown under LL or exposed to HL and left to recover for 6, 12, and 24 hr. Hollow arrowheads and filled arrowheads indicate the mCherry-NBR1 coats and inside chloroplasts, respectively. (F) Box and whisker plots showing the percentage of chloroplasts associated with mCherry-NBR1 as coats (orange) or inside chloroplasts (green) under LL, and at the indicated recovery times after HL exposure. The top and bottom plots show measurements from nbr1 and atg7, respectively. Representative experiment analyzing between 4 and 15 fields from 3 to 6 cotyledons for each condition and genotype. Box and whisker plots in B, C, D, and F display the variation in data through quartiles; the middle line indicates the median and whiskers show the upper and lower fences. Asterisks in B and D denote significant differences based on t-tests (**, p<0.01). Scale bars = 5 μm in A and E.

Different letters denote significant differences from each other based on two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). (E) Diagram summarizing a proposed mechanism for NBR1 association with photodamaged chloroplasts. HL exposure induces the breakdown of the chloroplast envelopes allowing the cytosolic ubiquitylation machinery to reach the stroma and thylakoids of photodamaged chloroplasts. As stromal and thylakoidal proteins become ubiquitylated, NBR1 diffuses into damaged chloroplasts and bind ubiquitylated proteins through its UBA2 domain. NBR1-decorated photodamaged chloroplasts are then delivered to the vacuole by microautophagy independently of ATG7. Scale bars: 5 μm in A and C.

Analysis was performed using the Perseus platform 2.0.6.0 (Tyanova et al., 2016), intensity values from MS/MS were log2 imputed and missing values were replaced with random numbers from a Gaussian distribution with a width of 0.3 and a downshift of 1.8. Statistical significance was determined using t-tests. The protein localizations and functions were categorized based on the GO term listed below. GO:0006914 (Autophagy), GO:0000502 (Proteasome), GO:0009507 (Chloroplast), GO:0005739 (Mitochondria), GO:0005777 (Peroxisome), GO:0005840 (Ribosome), GO:0009941 (Chloroplast envelope), GO:0009570 (Chloroplast stroma) and GO:0009534 (Chloroplast thylakoid).(l) Comparison of protein abundances between WT and the nbr1 mutant under LL conditions. Analysis was performed using the Perseus platform 2.0.6.0 (Tyanova et al., 2016), intensity values from MS/MS were log2 imputed and missing values were replaced with random numbers from a Gaussian distribution with a width of 0.3 and a downshift of 1.8. Statistical significance was determined using t-tests. The protein localizations and functions were categorized based on the GO term listed below.

Analysis was performed using the Perseus platform 2.0.6.0 (Tyanova et al., 2016), intensity values from MS/MS were log2 imputed and missing values were replaced with random numbers from a Gaussian distribution with a width of 0.3 and a downshift of 1.8. Statistical significance was determined using t-tests. The protein localizations and functions were categorized based on the GO term listed below.
