In plants, modulation of photosynthetic energy conversion in varying environments is often accompanied by adjustment of the abundance of photosynthetic components. In wild watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.), proteome analysis revealed that the ε subunit of chloroplast ATP synthase occurs as two distinct isoforms with largely-different isoelectric points, although encoded by a single gene. Mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of the ε isoforms indicated that the structural difference between the ε isoforms lies in the presence or absence of an acetyl group at the N-terminus. The protein level of the non-acetylated ε isoform preferentially decreased in drought, whereas the abundance of the acetylated ε isoform was unchanged. Moreover, metalloprotease activity that decomposed the ε subunit was detected in a leaf extract from drought-stressed plants. Furthermore, in vitro assay suggested that the non-acetylated ε subunit was more susceptible to degradation by metalloaminopeptidase. We propose a model in which quantitative regulation of the ε subunit involves N-terminal acetylation and stress-induced proteases.
