Obwohl der retikulierte Blattphänotyp durch die PPDK-Überexpression aufgehoben werden konnte, führte dies zu weiteren Beeinträchtigungen der Photosyntheseleistung, verminderten Gehalten an verzweigtkettigen Aminosäuren, zu einer geringeren Saccharose- und Stärkeakkumulation, sowie zu der Akkumulation von Pyruvat und PEP während der Lichtperiode. Der Einfluß auf den Stoffwechsel in den PPDK-Überexprimierern konnte auf den zusätzlichen ATP-Verbrauch der eingeführten PPDK im Stroma zurückgeführt werden.
Die möglichen Ursachen für den retikulierten Blattphänotyp der cue1-Mutanten wird im Hinblick auf Mutanten mit gestörter Chloroplastenentwicklung und Mutanten des Phytochrom A-Signalweges diskutiert. This work describes the physiological analysis of the primary and secondary metabolism of the Arabidopsis thaliana cue1 mutants, which are defective in the phosphoenolpyruvate/ phosphate translocator (PPT) of the inner envelope and show a reticulate leaf phenotype with a dark green vasculature and light green intercostal region. Chloroplast development and light-dependent de-repression of the chlorophyll a/b binding protein 3 (CAB3) promotor are hampered in the cue1 mutants. The cue1 mutant could be phenotypically complemented by the expression of a heterologous PPT from cauliflower and by the overexpression of a plastid-targeted pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) from the C4-plant Flaveria trinervia. In comparison with the complemented lines and the controls, it could be shown that the restrictions in photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle, sucrose and starch metabolism in cue1 were due to a general effect on metabolism. It is shown that limiting contents of phenylalanine caused by a shortage of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) supply to the stroma were responsible for the a decreased secondary metabolism and the reticulate leaf phenotype in cue1, as the contents of phenylalanine and selected secondary metabolites could be restored by PPT and PPDK overexpression in the cue1 background. Although the reticulate leaf phenotype could be cured upon PPDK overexpression, this resulted in further restrictions in photosynthesis, the contents of branched chain amino acids, sucrose and starch metabolism and in an accumulation of pyruvate and PEP during the light period. The constraints on metabolism in the PPDK overexpressors could be attributed to ATP consumption by the introduced PPDK in the stroma. The possible causes for the reticulate leaf phenotype in the cue1 mutants are discussed with respect to already described mutants with impaired chloroplast development and mutants of the phytochrome A signal transduction pathway.
