We report the characterization of cis-acting elements involved in light regulation of the nuclear gene (GapA) that encodes the A subunit of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Arabidopsis thaliana. Our previous deletion analyses indicate that the -277 to -195 upstream region of GapA is
In animal cells, many proteins have been shown to undergo glutathionylation under conditions of oxidative stress. By contrast, very little is known about this post-translational modification in plants. In the present work, we showed, using mass spectrometry, that the recombinant chloroplast
Plants contain both cytosolic and chloroplastic GAPDHs (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases). In Arabidopsis thaliana, cytosolic GAPDH is involved in the glycolytic pathway and is represented by two differentially expressed isoforms (GapC1 and GapC2) that are 98% identical in amino acid
We have characterized cis-acting elements involved in light regulation of the nuclear gene (GapA) encoding the A subunit of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results show that a 1.1-kb promoter fragment of the GapA gene is sufficient to confer
Both cDNA and genomic clones for the nuclear genes encoding chloroplast (cp) (gapA and gapB) and cytosolic (gapC) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from Arabidopsis thaliana have been isolated and characterized. Genomic Southern-blot analyses indicate that there is only one copy of
The promoter of the nuclear gene, GAPB, which encodes the B subunit of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GADPH) of Arabidopsis thaliana, was previously shown to contain four direct repeats (Gap boxes, located between -237 and -181) that were necessary but not sufficient for
The crystal structure of the A(4) isoform of photosynthetic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from Arabidopsis thaliana, expressed in recombinant form and complexed with NAD, is reported. The crystals, which were grown in 2.4 M ammonium sulfate and 0.1 M sodium citrate, belonged to
The metabolic role and regulation of selenium, particularly in plants, is poorly understood. One of the proteins probably involved in the metabolic regulation of this element is the selenium-binding protein (SBP) with homologues present across prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. The high degree of
Non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (np-Ga3PDHase) plays a key metabolic role in higher plants. Purification to homogeneity of enzymes found in relatively low abundance in plants represents a major technical challenge that can be solved by molecular gene cloning and
We have characterized the effects of different light spectra on expression of the nuclear genes (GapA and GapB) encoding chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Arabidopsis thaliana. Steady-state mRNA levels for both genes in etiolated seedlings increased after a short exposure to
OBJECTIVE
Cysteines and H2O2 are fundamental players in redox signaling. Cysteine thiol deprotonation favors the reaction with H2O2 that generates sulfenic acids with dual electrophilic/nucleophilic nature. The protein microenvironment surrounding the target cysteine is believed to control whether
In a previous study of Arabidopsis thaliana (J. Dewdney, T.R. Conley, M.-C. Shih, H.M. Goodman [1993] Plant Physiol 103: 1115-1121), it was postulated that both blue light receptor- and phytochrome-mediated pathways contribute to regulation of the nuclear genes encoding A and B subunits of
The cytosolic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPC) catalyzes a key reaction in glycolysis, but its contribution to plant metabolism and growth are not well defined. Here, we show that two cytosolic GAPCs play important roles in cellular metabolism and seed oil accumulation.
We report here the identification of a cis-acting region involved in light regulation of the nuclear gene (GapB) encoding the B subunit of chloroplast glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results show that a 664-bp GapB promoter fragment is sufficient to confer
We have previously identified a cis-acting element, named the XXIII box, that is essential for light-regulated expression of the nuclear gene GAPB, which encodes the B subunit of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Arabidopsis thaliana. Examination of the sequences indicated
