Identification in Pea Seed Mitochondria of a Late-Embryogenesis Abundant Protein Able to Protect Enzymes from Drying

TL;DR: The overall results constitute, to the authors' knowledge, the first characterization of a LEA protein in mitochondria and experimental evidence for a beneficial role of aLEA protein with respect to proteins during desiccation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and Function of a Mitochondrial Late Embryogenesis Abundant Protein Are Revealed by Desiccation

TL;DR: It is shown that LEAM, a mitochondrial LEA protein expressed in seeds, is a natively unfolded protein, which reversibly folds into α-helices upon desiccation, and sequence analyses of several homologous proteins suggest a similar protection mechanism likely acts with other types of cellular membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrite-nitric oxide control of mitochondrial respiration at the frontier of anoxia.

TL;DR: This work describes here a mechanism by which mitochondrial respiration is adjusted to prevent a tissue to reach anoxia, and suggests an evolutionarily conserved mechanism should have an important role for oxygen homeostasis in tissues undergoing hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Site-directed mutagenesis of histidine residues in the Δ12 acyl-lipid desaturase of Synechocystis

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the five histidine residues are essential for the activity of the Δ12 desaturase, perhaps by providing the ligands for the catalytic Fe center.
