Crystal structure of plant γ‐glutamyl peptidase 1: implications for sulfur metabolism and secondary metabolite biosynthesis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The crystal structures of Arabidopsis thaliana γ‐glutamyl peptidase 1 (GGP1), including the covalent intermediate state, were determined. GGP1 is involved in both glutathione degradation in the primary metabolism and glutathione conjugate processing in the secondary metabolism of glucosinolate and camalexin biosynthesis.

Plant organelle C‐to‐U RNA editing factors can operate successfully in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as an easily amenable eukaryotic system for their functional analysis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Plant‐type pentatricopeptide repeat proteins capable of C‐to‐U RNA editing perform faithfully when expressed in a new heterologous system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They were tested with constitutive and inducible expression and with a set of different solubility tags. PPR56, PPR65, and PPR78 from P.

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

Effect of methyl jasmonate on Arabidopsis proteins

open access: yes, 2003
In this study, wild Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were grown on MS medium containing 40|iM methyl jasmonate (MeJA) to determine if this compound could induce synthesis of jasmonate-induced proteins (JIPs) other than previously reported 27, 29 and 31kDa (kilodalton) vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) in Arabidopsis.

The competitive interplay of 12‐oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA), protein thiols, and glutathione

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
12‐Oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA) is a phytohormone involved in plant growth and stress defense. Due to its cyclopentenone moiety, OPDA can form Michael adducts with thiol‐containing compounds such as glutathione and cysteine residues of proteins, resulting in alterations of the cellular redox regulatory network.

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

open access: yesGrassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

The targeted metabolomic profile of laticifers in rubber tree

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Targeted metabolomic profiling of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) laticifers identified metabolites that were reprogramming by domestication, revealed active isoprenoid metabolism in the laticifers, and discovered loci with potential biosynthetic applications, supporting the potential of developing laticifers as bioreactors for production of valuable ...
