High-density seedling expression system for the production of bioactive human cardiotrophin-1, a potential therapeutic cytokine, in transgenic tobacco chloroplasts
Histidine‐tagged human cardiotrophin‐1 (hCT‐1), a recently discovered cytokine with excellent therapeutic potential, was expressed in tobacco chloroplasts under the transcriptional and translational control of two different ... -
Most of ADP-glucose linked to starch biosynthesis occurs outside the chloroplast in source leaves
Sucrose and starch are end products of two segregated gluconeogenic pathways, and their production takes place in the cytosol and chloroplast of green leaves, respectively. According to this view, the plastidial ADP ... -
New in vivo approach to broaden the thioredoxin family interactome in chloroplasts
Post-translational redox modifications provide an important mechanism for the control of major cellular processes. Thioredoxins (Trxs), which are key actors in this regulatory mechanism, are ubiquitous proteins that catalyse ... -
NTRC and thioredoxin f overexpression differentially induces starch accumulation in tobacco leaves
Thioredoxin (Trx) f and NADPH-dependent Trx reductase C (NTRC) have both been proposed as major redox regulators of starch metabolism in chloroplasts. However, little is known regarding the specific role of each protein ... -
Overexpression of plastidial thioredoxin f leads to enhanced starch accumulation in tobacco leaves
Starch, the most abundant storage carbohydrate in plants, has been a major feedstock for first‐generation biofuels. Growing fuel demands require, however, that the starch yields of energy crops be improved. Leaf starch is ... -
Overexpression of thioredoxin m in chloroplasts alters carbon and nitrogen partitioning in tobacco
In plants, there is a complex interaction between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism, and its coordination is fundamental for plant growth and development. Here, we studied the influence of thioredoxin (Trx) m on C and ... -
Proteomics analysis reveals non-controlled activation of photosynthesis and protein synthesis in a rice npp1 mutant under high temperature and elevated CO2 conditions
Rice nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) catalyzes the hydrolytic breakdown of the pyrophosphate and phosphodiester bonds of a number of nucleotides including ADP-glucose and ATP. Under high temperature ...
