  abstract     = {{The late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein family are small, highly hydrophilic proteins that are involved in stress tolerance. The small (10 kD) Arabidopsis LEA5 protein is predominantly expressed in leaves in the dark, the levels of LEA5 transcripts decreasing rapidly upon illumination. However, LEA5 is strongly expressed in leaves in the light when plants are exposed to stress. Localization assays suggest that LEA5 is dually localized to the chloroplasts and mitochondria. Tandem affinity purification analysis revealed LEA5 interacts with chloroplast proteins, particularly the DEAD-box ATP-dependent RNA helicase 22 (RH22), which is essential for RNA processing in plastids. Split YFP analysis confirmed the interaction between RH22 and LEA5 in chloroplasts. While changes in the abundance of LEA5 in mutants and transgenic plants had no effect on RNA processing in chloroplasts, the abundance of translated protein products were decreased in transgenic plants constitutively expressing LEA5 (OEX 2-5) and increased in lea5 knockout mutants. The abundance of translated mitochondrial protein products and mitochondrial electron transport rates were increased in OEX 2-5 plants and decreased in lea5 mutants. Barley lines transformed with Arabidopsis LEA5showed increased biomass and seed yields relative to controls. Moreover, the drought-induced inhibition of photosynthesis was greater in all of the LEA5-expressing barley lines than the wildtype We conclude that LEA5 is required for the regulation of translation, particularly in plants exposed to stress, acting to switch autotrophic to heterotrophic metabolism.}},
