Loss of starch granule initiation has a deleterious effect on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana plants due to accumulation of ADP-glucose
Starch synthase 4 (SS4) is required for proper starch granule initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana, although starch synthase 3 (SS3) can partially replace its function. Unlike other starch deficient mutants, ss4 and ss3/ss4 mutants grow poorly even under long-day...
Cysteine-Generated Sulfide in the Cytosol Negatively Regulates Autophagy and Modulates the Transcriptional Profile in Arabidopsis
In Arabidopsis thaliana, DES1 is the only identified L-Cysteine desulfhydrase located in the cytosol, and it is involved in the degradation of cysteine (Cys) and the concomitant production of H2S in this cell compartment. Detailed characterization of the T-DNA...
The CopRS Two-Component System Is Responsible for Resistance to Copper in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Photosynthetic organisms need copper for cytochrome oxidase and for plastocyanin in the fundamental processes of respiration and photosynthesis. However, excess of free copper is detrimental inside the cells and therefore organisms have developed homeostatic...
