Transit Peptides From Photosynthesis-Related Proteins Mediate Import of a Marker Protein Into Different Plastid Types and Within Different Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Nucleus-encoded plastid proteins are synthesized as precursors with N-terminal targeting signals called transit peptides (TPs), which mediate interactions with the translocon complexes at the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) plastid membranes. These complexes

Increasing thermostability of the key photorespiratory enzyme glycerate 3‐kinase by structure‐based recombination

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 454-466, February 2025.
Summary As global temperatures rise, improving crop yields will require enhancing the thermotolerance of crops. One approach for improving thermotolerance is using bioengineering to increase the thermostability of enzymes catalysing essential biological processes.

Expression of the genes encoding rubisco and rubisco activase in cucumber leaves

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEEARCH, 2012
Diurnal changes in the gene expressions and activities of Rubisco and Rubisco activase (RCA) in different position of leaves of cucumber were investigated. The results showed the diurnal variations of the mRNA abundance of rbcL, activities of Rubisco and RCA in 4th apical leaf which gave a single-peak curve, which was similar to the Pn curve on a sunny

Rubisco activase: an enzyme with a temperature‐dependent dual function? [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 2001
SummaryHeat treatment of intact spinach leaves was found to induce a unique thylakoid membrane association of an approximately 40 kDa stromal protein. This protein was identified as rubisco activase. Most of the rubisco activase was sequestered to the thylakoid membrane, particularly to the stroma‐exposed regions, during the first 10 min of heat ...

Research advances in molecular mechanisms regulating heat tolerance in cool‐season turfgrasses

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Cool‐season turfgrasses widely used on golf courses, athletic fields, and other landscapes are environmentally and economically important, but they are functionally and aesthetically damaged under prolonged exposure to high temperatures because of their sensitivity to heat stress.

Lysine acetylome profiling uncovers novel histone deacetylase substrate proteins in Arabidopsis

Molecular Systems Biology, 2017
Histone deacetylases have central functions in regulating stress defenses and development in plants. However, the knowledge about the deacetylase functions is largely limited to histones, although these enzymes were found in diverse subcellular ...

Diverse Stomatal Behaviors Mediating Photosynthetic Acclimation to Low Temperatures in Hordeum vulgare

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Photosynthetic acclimation to cold conditions is an important factor influencing freezing tolerance of plants. Photosynthetic enzyme activities increase as part of a photochemical mechanism underlying photosynthetic acclimation to low temperatures ...

Photosynthetic Activity of Six Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) Cultivars under Different Temperature Treatments

HortScience, 2020
The Pacific Northwest grows the majority of hops in the United States; however, the region is experiencing an increase in the number of days with high heat. In addition, there is an increased interest in growing hops in other warmer regions of the United

Cell‐type‐aware regulatory landscapes governing monoterpene indole alkaloid biosynthesis in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 1, Page 347-362, January 2025.
Summary In plants, the biosynthetic pathways of some specialized metabolites are partitioned into specialized or rare cell types, as exemplified by the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (MIA) pathway of Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar Periwinkle), the source of the anticancer compounds vinblastine and vincristine. In the leaf, the C.
