Abstract

Susceptibility of photosystem II complex (PSII) to photoinhibition and degradation of D1 protein has been described in the chloroplasts of C3 plants but so far, the PSII turnover has not been characterised in any C4 plant, which contains two types of chloroplasts differing biochemically and structurally. In maize (Zea mays L. Oleńka), chloroplasts located in mesophyll (M) develop grana, while bundle sheath (BS) chloroplasts are agranal. In this paper, we report the D1 protein phosphorylation, damage and proteolysis in mesophyll as well as in agranal bundle sheath thylakoids of maize plants. Photoinhibitory treatment (1800 μmol photons m-2 s-1) of isolated thylakoids led to donor side inhibition of PSII electron transport and then to damage of reaction centre in both M and BS thylakoids. Rate of D1 degradation rate was faster in BS than in M thylakoids, and the addition of ATP to incubation medium delayed D1 degradation in both types of thylakoids. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the proteases belonging to FtsH and Deg families were present but their amounts significantly differed in M and BS thylakoids. Protease inhibitor studies revealed that serine- and metallo-proteases were involved in degradation of D1 protein. Apparent ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
