The vacuole/lysosome serves an important
recycling function during starvation and senescence in eukaryotes via a
process called autophagy. Here bulk cytosolic constituents and
organelles become sequestered in specialized autophagic vesicles, which
then deliver their cargo to the vacuole for degradation. In yeasts,
genetic screens have identified two novel post-translational
modification pathways remarkably similar to ubiquitination that are
required for autophagy. From searches of the Arabidopsis
genome, we have identified gene families encoding proteins related to
both the APG8 and 12 polypeptide tags and orthologs for all
components required for their attachment. A single APG7
gene encodes the ATP-dependent activating enzyme that
initiates both conjugation pathways. Phenotypic analysis of an
APG7 disruption indicates that it is not essential for
normal growth and development in Arabidopsis. However, the
apg7-1 mutant is hypersensitive to nutrient limiting
conditions and displays premature leaf senescence. mRNAs for both
APG7 and APG8 preferentially accumulate as leaves senesce, suggesting
that both conjugation pathways are up-regulated during the senescence
syndrome. These findings show that the APG8/12 conjugation pathways
have been conserved in plants and may have important roles in
autophagic recycling, especially during situations that require
substantial nitrogen and carbon mobilization.
