• This study reports that Arabidopsis thaliana protein serine/threonine phosphatase 5 (AtPP5) plays a pivotal role in heat stress resistance. A high-molecular-weight (HMW) form of AtPP5 was isolated from heat-treated A. thaliana suspension cells. AtPP5 performs multiple functions, acting as a

The regulatory domain of the bifunctional threonine-sensitive aspartate kinase homoserine dehydrogenase contains two homologous subdomains defined by a common loop-alpha helix-loop-beta strand-loop-beta strand motif. This motif is homologous with that found in the two subdomains of the biosynthetic

Genome-wide analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana with tyrosine kinase motif from animals predicted that tyrosine phosphorylation could be brought about only by dual-specificity protein kinases in plants. However, their regulation is poorly understood. In the present study, we have investigated the role

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ste6 mutant is defective in transport of a-mating factor, resulting in an inability of ste6 a cells to mate with alpha cells. The gene encodes an ATP-binding cassette, ABC transporter. We used functional complementation of a yeast ste6 mutant with an Arabidopsis

During the course of characterizing polymerase chain reaction products corresponding to protein kinases of a higher plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, we found a DNA fragment that potentially codes for a polypeptide with mosaic sequences of two classes of protein kinases, a tyrosine-specific and a

In plant, the first and the third steps of the synthesis of methionine and threonine are catalyzed by a bifunctional enzyme, aspartate kinase-homoserine dehydrogenase (AK-HSDH). In this study, we report the first purification and characterization of a highly active threonine-sensitive AK-HSDH from

Mutagenesis and subsequent selection of Arabidopsis thaliana plantlets on a growth inhibitory concentration of lysine has led to the isolation of lysine-resistant mutants. The ability to grown on 2 mM lysine has been used to isolate mutants that may contain an aspartate kinase with altered

An Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA encoding an S-adenosylmethionine-sensitive threonine synthase (EC 4.2.99.2) has been isolated by functional complementation of an Escherichia coli mutant devoid of threonine synthase activity. Threonine synthase from A. thaliana was shown to be synthesized with a transit

Threonine synthase (TS) is a PLP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the last reaction in the synthesis of threonine from aspartate. In plants, the methionine pathway shares the same substrate, O-phospho-L-homoserine (OPH), and TS is activated by S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM), a downstream product of

Type one serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP1s) have been implicated in various processes of plant growth and development. In all plant species studied, PP1s are encoded by multigene families. Previous studies in our laboratory identified five Arabidopsis thaliana PP1 genes (TOPP1, TOPP2,

The Arabidopsis thaliana somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase 1 (AtSERK1) gene encodes a receptor-like protein kinase that is transiently expressed during embryogenesis. To determine the intrinsic biochemical properties of the AtSERK1 protein, we have expressed the intracellular catalytic domain as

Threonine synthase (TS) catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of threonine, the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate dependent conversion of L-homoserine phosphate (HSerP) into L-threonine and inorganic phosphate. Recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana TS (aTS) was characterized to compare a higher plant TS with

We fused four mutant omr1 alleles, encoding feedback-insensitive forms of Arabidopsis thaliana biosynthetic threonine dehydratase/deaminase (TD), to the CaMV 35S promoter and transformed these constructs into A. thaliana Columbia wild type plants. The mutant TD forms consisted of our previously

This work proposes a model of the metabolic branch-point between the methionine and threonine biosynthesis pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana which involves kinetic competition for phosphohomoserine between the allosteric enzyme threonine synthase and the two-substrate enzyme cystathionine

Homoserine kinase (HSK) produces O-phospho-l-homoserine (HserP) used by cystathionine gamma-synthase (CGS) for Met synthesis and threonine synthase (TS) for Thr synthesis. The effects of overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana HSK, CGS, and Escherichia coli TS (eTS), each controlled by the 35S promoter,
