Abstract

The S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), a key regulator of nitric oxide (NO) signaling, requires zinc (Zn) cofactors for its catalytic activity. Possible changes in GSNOR function and NO signaling due to limited Zn supply and participation of GSNOR in response to Zn deficiency have not yet been examined. The wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings (Col-0) and the overproducer of GSNOR (35S::FLAG-GSNOR1) were grown in agar medium supplemented with 15 μM (full Zn), 1.5 μM (Zn/10) and 0 μM (Zn0) zinc sulfate. Limited availability of Zn in the nutrient medium during the experimental period resulted in a significantly reduced Zn content in the roots and shoots of Arabidopsis and altered the expression of Zn deficiency marker genes; however, the Zn content did not reflect Zn deficiency in the seedlings. GSNOR has no effect on the Zn limitation-induced reduction in the in planta Zn content. Suboptimal Zn supply results in a smaller but more active GSNOR protein pool in Col-0 A. thaliana. In 35S::FLAG-GSNOR1, overproduction possibly compensates for the negative effects of reduced Zn supply, resulting in unchanged GSNOR expression, protein abundance, and activity. Suboptimal Zn supply alters NO but did not modify peroxynitrite and hydrogen peroxide levels and exerts a pronitrant effect in the plant proteome. Overall, this is the first report to show that limited Zn supply affects the GSNOR enzyme at the gene and protein levels but not at the activity level and modifies reactive species levels and physiological nitroproteome in Arabidopsis.
