MicroRNA-mediated systemic down-regulation of copper protein expression in response to low copper availability in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, microRNA-mediated down-regulation is a general mechanism to regulate nonessential copper proteins and it is proposed that this mechanism allows plants to save copper for the most essential functions during limited copper supply.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sec61p mediates export of a misfolded secretory protein from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol for degradation
TL;DR: The first genetic evidence that Sec61p, the pore‐forming subunit of the protein translocation channel in the ER membrane, is directly involved in the export of misfolded secretory proteins is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Copper Homeostasis by Micro-RNA in Arabidopsis
Hiroaki Yamasaki,Salah E. Abdel-Ghany,Christopher M. Cohu,Yoshichika Kobayashi,Toshiharu Shikanai,Marinus Pilon +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that miR398 is a key factor in copper homeostasis in plants and regulates the stability of mRNAs of major copper proteins under copper-limited conditions, which takes place in response to changes in a low range of copper levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two P-Type ATPases Are Required for Copper Delivery in Arabidopsis thaliana Chloroplasts
Salah E. Abdel-Ghany,Patricia Müller-Moulé,Krishna K. Niyogi,Marinus Pilon,Toshiharu Shikanai +4 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that PAA1 and PAA2 function sequentially in copper transport over the envelope and thylakoid membrane, respectively, suggesting the importance of copper to photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAA1, a P-Type ATPase of Arabidopsis, Functions in Copper Transport in Chloroplasts
TL;DR: Six Arabidopsis mutants that are defective in the PAA1 gene are characterized, which encodes a member of the metal-transporting P-type ATPase family with a functional N-terminal chloroplast transit peptide, which is a critical component of a Cu transport system in chloroplasts responsible for cofactor delivery to plastocyanin and Cu/ZnSOD.
