Phototropin-related NPL1 controls chloroplast relocation induced by blue light
Open accessAbstract
In photosynthetic cells, chloroplasts migrate towards illuminated sites to optimize photosynthesis and move away from excessively illuminated areas to protect the photosynthetic machinery. Although this movement of chloroplasts in response to light has been known for over a century, the photoreceptor mediating this process has not been identified. The Arabidopsis gene NPL1 (ref. 2) is a paralogue of the NPH1 gene, which encodes phototropin, a photoreceptor for phototropic bending. Here we show that NPL1 is required for chloroplast relocation induced by blue light. A loss-of-function npl1 mutant showed no chloroplast avoidance response in strong blue light, whereas the accumulation of chloroplasts in weak light was normal. These results indicate that NPL1 may function as a photoreceptor mediating chloroplast relocation.

In Arabidopsis, the chloroplast accumulation response is regulated by PHOT1 and PHOT2, whereas the avoidance response is regulated mainly by PHOT2.
“In Arabidopsis, the accumulation response is regulated by PHOT1 and PHOT2 (Sakai et al., 2001), whereas the avoidance response is regulated mainly by PHOT2 (Jarillo et al., 2001; Kagawa et al., 2001).”

RPT2 may play a key role in cross-regulation of phototropism and chloroplast movement.
“Therefore, RPT2 may play a key role in cross-regulation of phototropism and chloroplast movement.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
