Molybdenum metabolism in plants and crosstalk to iron

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
In the form of molybdate the transition metal molybdenum is essential for plants as it is required by a number of enzymes that catalyze key reactions in nitrogen assimilation, purine degradation, phytohormone synthesis, and sulfite detoxification ...

Further investigation on aldehyde reductase activity in ageing rat tissues

, 1985
Aldehyde reductase (AR) activity was measured in whole brain, different brain areas, kidney and duodenum of 23-26 months old rats and then compared to matched animals of 3 months.

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

The C-Terminal Loop of Aldehyde Reductase Determines the Substrate and Inhibitor Specificity^†

, 2016
Human aldehyde reductase has a preference for carboxyl group-containing negatively charged substrates. It belongs to the NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase superfamily whose members are in part distinguished by unique C-terminal loops.

Design Principles of Plant Thermotolerance: Integrating Photosynthesis, Reproduction, and Field Resilience in a Warming Climate

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate change, as rising temperatures compromise the yields of major staple crops, including wheat, rice, and maize. Enhancing plant thermotolerance has therefore become a critical priority for sustaining agricultural productivity.

Aldo-keto reductases 1B in adrenal cortex physiology

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016
Aldose reductase proteins are cytosolic monomeric enzymes, belonging to the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily. They perform oxidoreduction of carbonyl groups from a wide variety of substrates such as aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes or ketones.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Cytosolic NADPH in Living Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In plants, an adequate supply of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in the cytosol is crucial for maintaining a variety of biosynthetic and antioxidant reactions. Cytosolic NADPH is mainly generated via four enzymatic pathways: NADP‐dependent malic dehydrogenase (NADP‐ME), cytosolic oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (cOPPP),

Mössbauer study of the native, reduced and substrate‐reacted Desulfovibrio gigas aldehyde oxido‐reductase

, 1992
NIGMS NIH HHS (GM41482; GM 32187)The Desulfovibrio gigas aldehyde oxido‐reductase contains molybdenum and iron‐sulfur clusters. Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to characterize the iron‐sulfur clusters.

Multiplexed Nanosensors for Real‐Time Monitoring of VOC‐Mediated Signalling Response in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance crop performance, intercropping strategies leverage volatile organic compound (VOC)‐driven interactions with companion plants that constitutively emit VOCs. Despite the agricultural importance, the mechanisms and kinetics of VOC‐mediated sensory transduction in receiver plants eavesdropping on neighbouring non‐kin emitters remain ...

Ascorbic acid deficiency promotes metabolic remodeling and pulmonary fibrosis that leads to respiratory failure in Sod1 and Akr1a double-knockout mice

Redox Biology
We recently reported that mice with a double knockout (DKO) of Sod1 encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and Akr1a encoding aldehyde reductase survived more than one year when supplemented with ascorbic acid (Asc) (1.5 mg/ml in drinking water), and ...
