Diatoms are important primary producers in the world’s oceans, yet their growth is constrained in large regions by low bioavailable iron (Fe). Low Fe-induced limitation of primary production is due to requirements for Fe in components of essential metabolic pathways including photosynthesis and other chloroplast plastid functions. Studies have shown that under Fe-limited stress, diatoms alter plastid-specific processes, including components of electron transport. These physiological changes suggest changes of protein content and their abundance within the diatom plastid. While in-silico predictions provide putative information on plastid-localized proteins, knowledge of diatom plastid proteins remains limited in comparison to model photosynthetic organisms. To characterize proteins enriched in diatom plastids we have used shotgun proteomics to assess the proteome of subcellular plastid-enriched fractions from Thalassiosira pseudonana. To improve our understanding of how the plastid proteome is remodeled in response to Fe limitation, proteome sequencing has been performed on T. pseudonana grown under Fe replete and limited conditions. These analyses have shown that Fe limitation regulates major metabolic pathways in the plastid, including the Calvin cycle, as well as changes in light harvesting protein expression. In-silico localization predictions of proteins identified in this plastid-enriched proteome allowed for an in-depth comparison of theoretical vs observed plastid-localization, providing evidence for the potential of additional protein import pathways into the diatom plastid.
