Descripción
Plants contain several genes encoding thioredoxins (Trxs), small proteins involved in redox regulation of many enzymes in different cell compartments. Among them, mitochondrial Trxo has been described to have a response in plants grown under salinity but there is scarce information about its functional role in abiotic stress or its gene regulation. In this work, the transcriptional regulation of the mitochondrial AtTrxo1 gene has been studied for the first time, by identifying functionally relevant cis- elements in its promoter: two conserved motives were found as positive and one as negative regulators. Using them as baits for the screening of an arrayed yeast library containing Arabidopsis Transcription Factors (TF) ORFs, two TFs were selected that are now being validated at the molecular level. We have also studied the response of T-DNA insertion mutant plants for AtTrxo1 to salt stress. The K.O. AtTrxo1 mutants presented several phenotypic changes including the time required to reach 50% germination under salinity, without affecting the final germination percentage.
