Contribution of UbrA, a ubiquitin ligase essential for Arg/N-degron pathway, to peptidase gene expression in Aspergillus oryzae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The degradation of intracellular proteins by N-degron pathways depends on their N-terminal amino acids. In budding yeast, the Arg/N-degron pathway controls the expression of dipeptide/tripeptide transporter gene by degrading a transcriptional repressor ...

A 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic-acid (ACC) dipeptide elicits ethylene responses through ACC-oxidase mediated substrate promiscuity

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants produce the volatile hormone ethylene to regulate many developmental processes and to deal with (a)biotic stressors. In seed plants, ethylene is synthesized from 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) by the dedicated enzyme ACC oxidase (ACO).
