hemin/arabidopsis thaliana

The protein from Arabidopsis thaliana gene locus At1g79260.1 is comprised of 166-residues and is of previously unknown function. Initial structural studies by the Center for Eukaryotic Structural Genomics (CESG) suggested that this protein might bind heme, and consequently, the crystal structures of

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play very important roles in plant growth and development as well as phytohormones. More importantly, microRNAs were recently found to be a new growth regulator involved in plant hormone signaling. Therefore, for investigating the expression change of microRNAs in plants exposed

Frataxin, a conserved mitochondrial protein implicated in cellular iron homeostasis, has been involved as the iron chaperone that delivers iron for the Fe-S cluster and heme biosynthesis. However, its role in iron metabolism remains unclear, especially in photosynthetic organisms. In previous work,
