Phosphorylation of aldose-6-phosphate reductase from Prunus persica leaves

This study shows that Ald6PRase from peach leaves is phosphorylated in planta and that phosphorylation can regulate its activity.

The transcription factor AtHB23 modulates starch turnover for root development and plant survival under salinity

This study identifies AtHB23 as a transcription factor that modulates starch turnover in roots, affecting plant survival under salinity stress through its regulation of LAX3.

The ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Melainabacteria: a comparative study between photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic bacterial sources

This paper characterizes ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Melainabacteria, showing it has distinct kinetic properties compared to photosynthetic cyanobacteria.

Understanding C4 photosynthesis in Setaria by a proteomic and kinetic approach

This study uses proteomic and kinetic analyses to show metabolic strategies in Setaria viridis that maintain C4 cycle performance by involving chloroplastic, mitochondrial, and peroxisomal proteins.

Proteolytic cleavage of Arabidopsis thaliana phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-1 modifies its allosteric regulation

This study shows proteolytic cleavage of Arabidopsis thaliana PEPCK1 by metacaspase-9 alters its allosteric regulation, specifically abolishing activation by malate and inhibition by glucose 6-phosphate in a truncated mutant.

Biochemical characterization of recombinant UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase and galactinol synthase from Brachypodium distachyon

This study characterizes the biochemical properties of USPPase and GolSase1 from Brachypodium distachyon, revealing their substrate specificity and redox regulation.
