RPTs (regulatory particle triple-A-ATPase) are components of 26S proteasome. We found novel roles of RPT2a and RPT5a in Zn deficiency-tolerance. Arabidopsis thaliana mutants carrying T-DNA in RPT2a and RPT5a were more sensitive to Zn deficiency than the wild-type. In the rpt mutants, the shoot Zn contents were similar to those of the wild-type. Transcripts of Zn deficiency-inducible genes were highly accumulated in the rpt mutants, suggesting that the rpt mutants suffer from various Zn deficiency symptoms, although the Zn levels are not reduced. Lipid peroxidation levels, known to be increased under Zn deficiency, were higher in the rpt mutants than in the wild-type. Poly-ubiquitinated proteins were accumulated upon exposure to Zn deficiency, especially in the rpt mutants. Overall, this study indicates that RPT2a and RPT5a are involved in Zn deficiency-tolerance, possibly through alleviation of oxidative stresses and/or processing of poly-ubiquitinated proteins.
