Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Low irradiance alters carbon metabolism and delays flower stalk development in two orchids

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
In Phalaenopsis, lowering irradiance has been used to delay flower stalk development but the accompanying biochemical changes remain poorly understood. We cultured two commercial Phalaenopsis-type orchids, Phalaenopsis cv.

Ancestral light and chloroplast regulation form the foundations for C4 gene expression. [PDF]

, 2016
C4 photosynthesis acts as a carbon concentrating mechanism that leads to large increases in photosynthetic efficiency. The C4 pathway is found in more than 60 plant lineages1 but the molecular enablers of this evolution are poorly understood.

Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

Coexistence of Wolbachia with Buchnera aphidicola and a secondary symbiont in the aphid Cinara cedri.

, 2004
Intracellular symbiosis is very common in the insect world. For the aphid Cinara cedri, we have identified by electron microscopy three symbiotic bacteria that can be characterized by their different sizes, morphologies, and electrodensities.

Hydroponic culturing upregulates sucrose and glutamine metabolism by enhancing their utilization via intermediates of aerobic pathway in wheat [PDF]

, 2016
Two wheat genotypes were grown in hydroponic culture, containing 4 mM KNO3, NH4Cl and NH4NO3. Activities of N metabolizing enzymes, aminotransferases, carbohydrate and TCA cycle enzymes were analyzed along with protein, amino acid, N, sugar content and ...

In Vitro Phosphorylation of Maize Leaf Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1986
Autoradiography of total soluble maize (Zea mays) leaf proteins incubated with (32)P-labeled adenylates and separated by denaturing electrophoresis revealed that many polypeptides were phosphorylated in vitro by endogenous protein kinase(s). The most intense band was at 94 to 100 kilodaltons and was observed when using either [gamma-(32)P]ATP or [beta-(

The Landscape of Cancer Metabolism as a Therapeutic Target

Pathology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism during progression to adapt to the tumor microenvironment, which is characterized by distinct differences in nutrient availability, oxygen concentrations, and acidity. This metabolic reprogramming can simultaneously create metabolic vulnerabilities unique to cancer cells, making cancer metabolism a ...

Effect of pyruvate kinase gene deletion on the physiology of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 under biotin-sufficient non-glutamate-producing conditions: Enhanced biomass production

Metabolic Engineering Communications, 2015
The effect of pyruvate kinase gene (pyk) deletion on the physiology of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 was investigated under biotin-sufficient, non-glutamate-producing conditions.

Binding Sites of Bicarbonate in Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is used in plant metabolism for fruit maturation or seed development as well as in the C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) mechanisms in photosynthesis, where it is used for the capture of hydrated CO2 (bicarbonate). To find the yet unknown binding site of bicarbonate in this enzyme, we have first identified
