Sulfur Assimilation in Photosynthetic Organisms: Molecular Functions and Regulations of Transporters and Assimilatory Enzymes
TL;DR: This review provides up-to-date knowledge in functions and regulations of sulfur assimilation in plants and algae, focusing on sulfate transport systems and metabolic pathways for sulfate reduction and synthesis of downstream metabolites with diverse biological functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Omics-based identification of Arabidopsis Myb transcription factors regulating aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis
Masami Yokota Hirai,Kenjiro Sugiyama,Yuji Sawada,Takayuki Tohge,Takeshi Obayashi,Akane Suzuki,Ryoichi Araki,Nozomu Sakurai,Hideyuki Suzuki,Koh Aoki,Hideki Goda,Osamu Ishizaki Nishizawa,Daisuke Shibata,Kazuki Saito +13 more
TL;DR: Two R2R3-Myb transcription factors are found that positively control the biosynthesis of GSLs in Arabidopsis thaliana by an integrated omics approach and a working model for regulation of GSL production involving these genes, renamed Production of Methionine-Derived Glucosinolate (PMG) 1 and 2 are postulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolomics for Functional Genomics, Systems Biology, and Biotechnology
Kazuki Saito,Fumio Matsuda +1 more
TL;DR: The principle of transcript and metabolite cooccurrence, particularly transcriptome coexpression network analysis, is a powerful tool for decoding the function of genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and can be used for the identification of genes involved in specific pathways in crops and medicinal plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis: Structural and genetic diversity
Kazuki Saito,Keiko Yonekura-Sakakibara,Ryo Nakabayashi,Yasuhiro Higashi,Mami Yamazaki,Takayuki Tohge,Alisdair R. Fernie +6 more
TL;DR: This review describes the state-of-art of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis regarding both structural and genetic diversity, focusing on the genes encoding enzymes for the biosynthesis reactions and vacuole translocation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The roles of three functional sulphate transporters involved in uptake and translocation of sulphate in Arabidopsis thaliana
Hideki Takahashi,Akiko Watanabe-Takahashi,Frank W. Smith,M. M. A. Blake-Kalff,Malcolm J. Hawkesford,Kazuki Saito +5 more
TL;DR: Concomitant decrease of the tissue thiol content after selenate treatment was consistent with the suggested role of glutathione (GSH) as a repressive effector for the expression of sulphate transporter genes.
