Ferredoxin-NADP(H) reductase (FNR) catalyzes the last step of photosynthetic electron transport in chloroplasts, driving electrons from reduced ferredoxin to NADP+. This reaction is rate limiting for photosynthesis under a wide range of illumination conditions, as revealed by analysis of plants
NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.2.4) was purified from the microsomal fraction of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY2 cells by chromatography on two anion-exchange columns and 2',5' ADP-Sepharose 4B column. The purified enzyme showed a single protein band with a molecular weight of 79 kDa
The soluble NAD(P)H:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase [NAD(P)H-QR, EC 1.6.99.2] of Nicotiana tabacum L. leaves and roots has been purified. NAD(P)H-QR contains noncovalently bound flavin mononucleotide. Pairs of subunits of 21.4 kD are linked together by disulfide bridges, but the active enzyme is a
Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT, EC 1.4.7.1) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The holoenzyme is a monomeric flavoprotein with a molecular weight of 164 kDa. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies against the purified enzyme were used
Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is involved in plant defense responses that follow mechanical damage, such as those that occur during herbivore or insect attacks, as well as pathogen attack. H(2)O(2) accumulation is induced during wound healing processes as well as by treatment with the wound signal
Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins involved in various one-electron transfer pathways. Ferredoxin levels decrease under adverse environmental conditions in photosynthetic organisms. In cyanobacteria, this decline is compensated by induction of flavodoxin, an isofunctional flavoprotein. Flavodoxin
Chloroplast ferredoxin (Fd) plays a pivotal role in plant cell metabolism by delivering reducing equivalents to various essential oxidoreductive pathways. Fd levels decrease under adverse environmental conditions in many microorganisms, including cyanobacteria, which share a common ancestor with
The chloroplast genomes of Marchantia polymorpha, Nicotiana tabacum, and Oryza sativa contain open reading frames (ORFs or potential genes) encoding homologues of some of the subunits of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Seven of these subunits (ND1-ND4, ND4L, ND5, and ND6)
