Journal ArticleDOI
Sucrose synthase activity in the sus1/sus2/sus3/sus4 Arabidopsis mutant is sufficient to support normal cellulose and starch production
Edurne Baroja-Fernández,Francisco Muñoz,Jun Li,Abdellatif Bahaji,Goizeder Almagro,Manuel Montero,Ed Etxeberria,Maite Hidalgo,María Teresa Sesma,Javier Pozueta-Romero +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SUS activity in the cleavage direction is sufficient to support normal rate of starch accumulation in WT leaves, and the overall data disprove Barratt et al. (2009) claims, and are consistent with the possible involvement of SUS in cellulose and starch biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing Sucrose Synthase Activity in Transgenic Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) Tubers Results in Increased Levels of Starch, ADPglucose and UDPglucose and Total Yield
Edurne Baroja-Fernández,Francisco Muñoz,Manuel Montero,Ed Etxeberria,Ed Etxeberria,María Teresa Sesma,Miroslav Ovecka,Miroslav Ovecka,Abdellatif Bahaji,Ignacio Ezquer,Jun Li,Salomé Prat,Javier Pozueta-Romero +12 more
TL;DR: Results presented in this work show that SuSy strongly determines the intracellular levels of UDPglucose, ADPglucoses and starch, and total yield in potato tubers, and it is shown that enhancement of SuSy activity represents a useful strategy for increasing starch accumulation and yield in Potato tubers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rice Plastidial N-Glycosylated Nucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase Is Transported from the ER-Golgi to the Chloroplast through the Secretory Pathway
Yohei Nanjo,Hiromasa Oka,Noriko Ikarashi,Kentaro Kaneko,Aya Kitajima,Toshiaki Mitsui,Francisco Muñoz,Milagros Rodríguez-López,Edurne Baroja-Fernández,Javier Pozueta-Romero +9 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate the trafficking of glycosylated proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum–Golgi system to the chloroplast in higher plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sucrose synthase controls both intracellular ADP glucose levels and transitory starch biosynthesis in source leaves.
Francisco Muñoz,Edurne Baroja-Fernández,María Teresa Morán-Zorzano,Alejandro M. Viale,Ed Etxeberria,Nora Alonso-Casajús,Javier Pozueta-Romero +6 more
TL;DR: Findings show that ADPG produced by SuSy is linked to starch biosynthesis; SuSy exerts a strong control on the starch biosynthetic process; and SuSy, but not AGP, controls the production of ADPG accumulating in source leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycogen Phosphorylase, the Product of the glgP Gene, Catalyzes Glycogen Breakdown by Removing Glucose Units from the Nonreducing Ends in Escherichia coli
Nora Alonso-Casajús,David Dauvillée,Alejandro M. Viale,Francisco Muñoz,Edurne Baroja-Fernández,María Teresa Morán-Zorzano,Gustavo Eydallin,Steven G. Ball,Javier Pozueta-Romero +8 more
TL;DR: The overall results show that GlgP catalyzes glycogen breakdown and affects glycogen structure by removing glucose units from the polysaccharide outer chains in E. coli.
