para aminobenzoic acid paba/arabidopsis

The pab1 gene of the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus encodes PABA synthase, necessary for para-aminobenzoic acid production. The C. cinereus protein is bifunctional with an N-terminal glutamine amidotransferase domain and a C-terminal chorismate amination domain. In most bacteria, these two

Naturally occurring para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) inhibited the formation of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) from a nitrosation mixture of N-methylurea and nitrite at pH 3. The suppressive effect of PABA on the formation of MNU is higher than that of ascorbic acid. The presence of the MNU was assayed

Plants respond to gravitational force through directional growth along the gravity vector. Although auxin is the central component of the root graviresponse, it works in concert with other plant hormones. Here, we show that the folate precursor para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a key modulator of the
