To understand the cell defense system mediated by the methionine suifoxide reductases in Chlamydomonas, we analyzed expression and physiological roles of the MSRBs under different abiotic stress conditions using immunoblotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction （PCR） analyses. We showed that the MSRB2.2 protein was accumulated in cells treated with high light （1,300 μE-/m2 per s）, whereas MSRBI.1 was accumulated in the cells under 1 mmol/L H2O2 treatment or sulfur depletion. We observed that the cells with the MSRB2.2 knockdown and overexpression displayed increased and decreased sensitivity to high light, respectively, based on in situ chlorophyll a fluorescence measures. We also observed that the cells with the MSRBI.1 knockdown and overexpression displayed decreased and increased tolerance to sulfur-depletion and oxidative stresses, respectively, based on growth and H2- producing performance. The physiological implications revealed from the experimental data highlight the importance of MSRB2.2 and MSRBI.1 in protecting Chlamydomonas cells against adverse conditions such as high-light, sulfur-depletion, and oxidative stresses.展开更多
