The transport of radioactive glycine, serine, and proline into the matrix of spinach leaf mitochondria was studied using the silicone oil centrifugation technique. The uptake of all three amino acids showed a biphasic characteristic. At concentrations higher than 0.5 mM, an apparent diffusion

Trypsin rapidly inactivated the catalytic activities of spinach ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase [3-phospho-D-glycerate carboxy-lyase (dimerizing), EC 4.1.1.39], but the stoichiometry of binding of the reaction-intermediate analogue carboxyarabinitol bisphosphate was only slightly reduced

The nucleotide sequence of a spinach chloroplast proline tRNA (sp. chl. tRNApro) has been determined. This tRNA shows more overall homology to phage T4 proline tRNA (61% homology) than to eukaryotic proline tRNAs (53% homology) or mitochondrial proline tRNAs (36-49% homology). Sp. chl. tRNApro, like

We have investigated the physical mechanisms through which amino acids influence freeze-thaw damage to isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) thylakoid membranes. The cryoprotective amino acid proline reduced osmotic membrane rupture during thawing by reducing solute loading of thylakoids during

Osmoregulants are the substances that help plants to tolerate environmental extremes such as salinity and drought. Proline and betaine are two of the most commonly studied osmoregulants. An indirect UV CE method has been developed for simultaneous determination of these osmoregulants. A variety of

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf discs accumulated free proline when exposed to polyethylene glycol solutions of water potential less than -10 bars. At -20 bars, the accumulation was 11 micromoles per gram original fresh weight in a 24-hour period.When the leaf organelles were separated on a

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) can be inactivated by phosphorylation of Ser-158 by calmodulin-like domain protein kinases (CDPKs) or SNF1-related protein kinases (SnRK1) in vitro. While the phosphorylation site sequence is relatively conserved, most of the

Delta(1)-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (P5CR) (EC 1.5.1.2. L-proline: NAD(P)-5-oxidoreductase), the second enzyme in the proline biosynthetic pathway, was purified from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves. Following ammonium sulfate fractionation, purification was performed by several

The increased salinity in greenhouses has become a problem of great concern. In this study, it was observed that the salt-induced oxidative damages (indicated by MDA, H2O2 and antioxidant enzymes, including POD, SOD and CAT) could be alleviated by application of NO gas. Consequently, although both

The crystal structure of the basic blue protein (plantacyanin) from spinach (SBP) has been solved to a resolution of 2.05 A by molecular replacement using the homologous protein from cucumber (CBP) as a model. Although the sequence identity of 58% between both proteins is only moderate, the

Lead (Pb) is the most common heavy metal contaminant in the environment. Pb is not an essential element for plants, but they absorb it when it is present in their environment, especially in rural areas when the soil is polluted by automotive exhaust and in fields contaminated with fertilizers

Fructose-P2 aldolases isolated from vertebrate skeletal muscle have underivatized NH2-terminal proline residues in contrast to most other cytoplasmic proteins which contain alpha-N-acetylated termini. However, if "native" aldolase molecules derived from chicken muscle, rat liver, wheat germ, and the

To elucidate the molecular basis of cold acclimation in strawberry (Fragaria x anannassa), we have begun studies to identify genes associated with low temperature (LT) acclimation. Differential screening of a cDNA library prepared from cold-acclimated strawberry plants allowed us to isolate several

The assumption that cellulose degradation and assimilation can only be carried out by heterotrophic organisms was shattered in 2012 when it was discovered that the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr), can utilize cellulose for growth under CO₂-limiting conditions. Publications of

The D1 polypeptide of the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center is synthesized as a precursor polypeptide which is posttranslationally processed at the carboxy terminus. It has been shown in spinach that such processing removes nine amino acids, leaving Ala344 as the C-terminal residue [Takahashi,
