Stress response requires an efficient connection between glycogen and central carbon metabolism by phosphoglucomutases in cyanobacteria
(Oxford University Press, 2023-03-13)
Glycogen and starch are the main storage polysaccharides, acting as a source of carbon and energy when necessary. Interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutases connects the metabolism ...

Two exopolyphosphatases with distinct molecular architectures and substrate specificities from the thermophilic green-sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum TLS
(Microbiology Society, 2014)
The genome of the thermophilic green-sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidumTLS possesses two genes encoding putative exopolyphosphatases (PPX; EC 3.6.1.11), namely CT0099 (ppx1, 993 bp) and CT1713 (ppx2, 1557 bp). The predicted ...

Structural and Functional Analysis of Novel Human Cytochrome c Targets in Apoptosis
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014)
Since the first description of apoptosis four decades ago, great efforts have been made to elucidate, both in vivo and in vitro, the molecular mechanisms involved in its regulation. Although the role of cytochrome c during ...

Molecular recognition in the interaction of chloroplast 2-Cys peroxiredoxin with NADPH-thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC) and thioredoxin x
(Elsevier, 2014)
In addition to the standard NADPH thioredoxin reductases (NTRs), plants hold a plastidic NTR (NTRC), with a thioredoxin module fused at the C-terminus. NTRC is an efficient reductant of 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (2-Cys Prxs). ...

Inorganic Polyphosphate in the Microbial World. Emerging Roles for a Multifaceted Biopolymer
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) are linear polymers of tens to hundreds orthophosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds. These fairly abundant biopolymers occur in all extant forms of life, from prokaryotes to ...

Intercellular Diffusion of a Fluorescent Sucrose Analog via the Septal Junctions in a Filamentous Cyanobacterium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015)
Many filamentous cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts, which are located at semiregular intervals along the filament with about 10 to 20 photosynthetic vegetative cells in between. ...

Cysteine and cysteine-related signaling pathways in arabidopsis thaliana
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
Cysteine occupies a central position in plant metabolism because it is a reduced sulfur donor molecule involved in the synthesis of essential biomolecules and defense compounds. Moreover, cysteine per se and its derivative ...

Promoter trapping in microalgae using the antibiotic paromomycin as selective agent
(MDPI, 2012)
The lack of highly active endogenous promoters to drive the expression of transgenes is one of the main drawbacks to achieving efficient transformation of many microalgal species. Using the model chlorophyte Chlamydomonas ...

S-Sulfhydration: A Cysteine Posttranslational Modification in Plant Systems
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2015)
Hydrogen sulfide is a highly reactive molecule that is currently accepted as a signaling compound. This molecule is as important as carbon monoxide in mammals and hydrogen peroxide in plants, as well as nitric oxide in ...

Stress-related biomolecular condensates in plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2023-09)
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelle-like structures that can concentrate molecules and often form through liquid-liquid phase separation. Biomolecular condensate assembly is tightly regulated by developmental ...
