Journal ArticleDOI
Using unnatural protein fusions to engineer resveratrol biosynthesis in yeast and Mammalian cells.
Yansheng Zhang,Song Zhe Li,Jia Li,Xiangqing Pan,Rebecca E. Cahoon,Jan G. Jaworski,Xuemin Wang,Joseph M. Jez,Feng Chen,Oliver Yu +9 more
TL;DR: An entire plant natural product pathway into a mammalian host is successfully engineered and resveratrol, a naturally occurring defense compound produced by a limited number of plants in response to stresses, is introduced into human HEK293 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Basis of Cysteine Biosynthesis in Plants STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF O-ACETYLSERINE SULFHYDRYLASE FROM ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA
TL;DR: Examination of the AtOASS structure and nearly 300 plant and bacterial OASS sequences suggest that the highly conserved β8A-β9A surface loop may be important for interaction with serine acetyltransferase, the other enzyme in cysteine biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive analysis of the Brassica juncea root proteome in response to cadmium exposure by complementary proteomic approaches.
Sophie Alvarez,Bertram M. Berla,Jeanne Sheffield,Rebecca E. Cahoon,Joseph M. Jez,Joseph M. Jez,Leslie M. Hicks +6 more
TL;DR: The involvement of enzymes such as peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase and 2‐nitropropane dioxygenase in alternatives redox‐regulation mechanisms, as well as O‐acetylserine sulfhydrylase, glutathione‐S‐transferase and glutathionine‐conjugate membrane transporter, are determined as essential players in the Cd hyperaccumation and tolerance of B. juncea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiol-based regulation of redox-active glutamate-cysteine ligase from Arabidopsis thaliana.
Leslie M. Hicks,Rebecca E. Cahoon,Eric R. Bonner,Rebecca S. Rivard,Jeanne Sheffield,Joseph M. Jez +5 more
TL;DR: The thiol-based regulation of GCL provides a posttranslational mechanism for modulating enzyme activity in response to in vivo redox environment and suggests a role for oxidative signaling in the maintenance of glutathione homeostasis in plants.
Patent
Transcriptional activator nucleic acids, polypeptides and methods of use thereof
Rebecca E. Cahoon,William J. Gordon-Kamm,Carolyn Ann Gregory,George J. Hoerster,Theodore M. Klein,Keith S. Lowe,Ramgopal Nadimpalli,Sonriza Rasco-Gaunt,Xifan Sun +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, isolated nucleic acids and their encoded proteins are used as transcriptional activators and methods of use thereof are described. And the authors further provide expression cassettes, transformed host cells, transgenic plants and plant parts, and antibody compositions.
