Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of water deficiency on leaf cuticle lipids of Arabidopsis.
Dylan K. Kosma,Brice Bourdenx,Amélie Bernard,Eugene P. Parsons,Shiyou Lü,Jérôme Joubès,Matthew A. Jenks +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the cuticle in plant response to drought and related stresses, and its associated genetic and cellular regulation was studied in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).
Book ChapterDOI
Combining biomarker with stable isotope analyses for assessing the transformation and turnover of soil organic matter
TL;DR: It is concluded that calculated MRTs from C3/C4 vegetation changes are currently underestimated, because, there is also a the formation of stable C4-derived C pools that did not reach steady-state equilibrium within few decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apoplastic polyesters in Arabidopsis surface tissues--a typical suberin and a particular cutin.
Rochus Franke,Isabel Briesen,Tobias Wojciechowski,Andrea Faust,Alexander Yephremov,Christiane Nawrath,Lukas Schreiber +6 more
TL;DR: Histochemical and TEM analysis revealed that suberin depositions were localized to the cell walls in the endodermis of primary roots and the periderm of mature roots of Arabidopsis, indicating thatArabidopsis roots can serve as a model for suberized tissue in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ustilago maydis as a Pathogen
Thomas Brefort,Gunther Doehlemann,Artemio Mendoza-Mendoza,Stefanie Reissmann,Armin Djamei,Regine Kahmann +5 more
TL;DR: This review describes the most prominent features of the U. maydis-maize pathosystem as well as genes and pathways most relevant to disease and highlights recent developments that place this system at the forefront of understanding the function of secreted effectors in eukaryotic pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polar paths of diffusion across plant cuticles: new evidence for an old hypothesis.
TL;DR: This work has shown that cuticles possess a pronounced lateral heterogeneity: the largest fraction of the cuticle surface is covered by the lipophilic domains of cutin and wax, but to a certain extent polar domains are also present in the cuticles, which form preferential sites of penetration for polar compounds.

Glycosylation of Nucleocytoplasmic Proteins: Signal Transduction and O-GlcNAc
TL;DR: This work systematically examines the current data implicating O-GlcNAc as a regulatory modification important to signal transduction cascades.
Journal ArticleDOI
O-glycosylation of eukaryotic transcription factors: Implications for mechanisms of transcriptional regulation
Stephen P. Jackson,Robert Tjian +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the human RNA polymerase II transcription factor Sp1 bears multiple O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) monosaccharide residues, raising the possibility that O- linkage residues play a role in the mechanism or regulation of transcriptional activation of RNA polymerases II.

The subcellular distribution of terminal N-acetylglucosamine moieties. Localization of a novel protein-saccharide linkage, O-linked GlcNAc.
Gordon D. Holt,Gerald W. Hart +1 more
TL;DR: The distribution of O-linked GlcNAc in highly enriched rat liver subcellular organelles is reported and evidence that terminal Glc NAc transferases are localized to the Golgi complex suggests that glycosylation with O-linkages to protein is not an exclusive marker for a particular organelle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium solani cutinase is a lipolytic enzyme with a catalytic serine accessible to solvent.
TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of a recombinant cutinase from F. solani pisi is reported, an α–β protein; the active site is composed of the triad Ser 120, His 188 and Asp 175, and the catalytic serine is not buried under surface loops, but is accessible to solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids.
TL;DR: An overview on the biodegradation of PHA is given to give an overview of the metabolism and biotechnological aspects of P HA and PHA depolymerases.
