Five different clones encoding thioredoxin homologues were isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA libraries. On the basis of the sequences they encode divergent proteins, but all belong to the cytoplasmic thioredoxins h previously described in higher plants. The five proteins obtained by overexpressing the coding sequences in Escherichia coli present typical thioredoxin activities (NADP+-malate dehydrogenase activation and reduction by Arabidopsis thioredoxin reductase) despite the presence of a variant active site, Trp-Cys-Pro-Pro-Cys, in three proteins in place of the canonical Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys sequence described for thioredoxins in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Southern blots show that each cDNA is encoded by a single gene but suggest the presence of additional related sequences in theArabidopsis genome. This very complex diversity of thioredoxins h is probably common to all higher plants, since the Arabidopsis sequences appear to have diverged very early, at the beginning of plant speciation. This diversity allows the transduction of a redox signal into multiple pathways.Thioredoxins are small proteins (105-120 aa) that contain the strictly conserved sequence Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys (1). The reduced cysteine pair forms a very reactive center able to disrupt the disulfide bridge of target proteins. In vivo, thioredoxins are reduced by a thioredoxin reductase. Thioredoxins have been isolated from prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including vertebrates, invertebrates, and fungi (2, 3, 41). Higher plants present two independent thioredoxin systems: the chloroplastic system consists of two nuclear gene-encoded proteins, thioredoxins m and f, which are reduced by a ferredoxindependent thioredoxin reductase (4, 5), and regulates the dark/light-related cycles (6, 7). In addition, the presence of a thioredoxin h system that is reduced by an NADP-dependent thioredoxin reductase was demonstrated some years ago in heterotrophic plant tissues (8, 9), but the first sequences for plant thioredoxins h (10-13) and NADP-dependent thioredoxin reductase (14) were obtained only recently. In this paper, we show that the Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes at least five very divergent thioredoxin h genes, § a situation similar to the one of Dictyostelium discoideum (15) The publication costs of this article were defrayed in part by page charge payment.

Toulouse) were subcultured every 2 weeks by 10-fold dilution in B5 medium (42) with sucrose (20 mg/ml) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1 ,ug/ml) and collected after 3 days of subculture (growth phase). Primary calli (seeds germinated on the callus medium) and established calli (the cell suspension grown on the callus medium) were grown for 1 month on the same medium solidified with 0.8% agar. In vitro plantlets were obtained from seeds germinated and cultivated in vitro for 1 month on the callus medium lacking 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Mesophyll pr...
