In vascular plants, the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex, a homolog of respiratory NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Complex I), mediates plastoquinone reduction using ferredoxin as an electron donor in cyclic electron transport around PSI in the thylakoid membrane. In angiosperms, chloroplast NDH is composed of five subcomplexes and forms a supercomplex with PSI. The modular assembly of stroma-protruded subcomplex A, which corresponds to the Q module of Complex I, was recently reported. However, the factors involved in the specific assembly steps have not been completely identified. Here, we isolated an Arabidopsis mutant, chlororespiratory reduction 9 (crr9), defective in NDH activity. The CRR9 gene encodes a novel stromal protein without any known functional domains or motifs. CRR9 is highly conserved in cyanobacteria and land plants but not in green algae, which do not have chloroplast NDH. Blue native-PAGE and immunoblot analyses of thylakoid proteins indicated that formation of subcomplex A was impaired in crr9 CRR9 was specifically required for the accumulation of NdhK, a subcomplex A subunit, in NDH assembly intermediates in the stroma. Furthermore, two-dimensional clear native/SDS-PAGE analysis of the stroma fraction indicated that incorporation of NdhM into NDH assembly intermediate complex 400 was impaired in crr9 These results suggest that CRR9 is a novel factor required for the formation of NDH subcomplex A.
