KDM7-mediated oxygen sensing reprograms chromatin to enhance hypoxia tolerance in the root

Daai Zhang, Ximena Chirinos, Alessia Del Chiaro, Vinay Shukla, Alexander Ryder, Ane Del Pozo Beltrán, Sergio Iacopino, Pedro Bota, Dušan Živković, Francesco Fioriti, Yuri Telara, Cara J. Ellison, Filippo Costa, P.R. Elliott, Federico Manuel Giorgi, , Francesco Licausi

The paper shows that KDM7s act as oxygen sensors in Arabidopsis root tips, reprogramming chromatin to enhance hypoxia tolerance by increasing H3K4me3.

Hydrogen sulfide modulates plant hypoxic responses through the persulfidation of Plant Cysteine Oxidases

Yuri Telara, Mosammat Salma Akter, Ángeles Aroca, Luigia Piccigallo, Daai Zhang, Giacomo Novi, Mikel Lavilla-Puerta, Dona M. Gunawardana, Noemi La Monaca, Sophie Lichtenauer, Cecilia Gotor, Markus Schwarzländer, Pierdomenico Perata A, Emily Flashman, Beatrice Giuntoli

This study shows hydrogen sulfide modulates hypoxic responses in Arabidopsis by inhibiting plant cysteine oxidases through persulfidation, affecting gene activation and submergence tolerance.

H2O2 repurposes the plant oxygen-sensing machinery to control the transcriptional response to oxidative stress

Mosammat Salma Akter, Monica Perri, Mikel Lavilla-Puerta, Beatrice Ferretti, Laura Dalle Carbonare, Vinay Shukla, Yuri Telara, Daai Zhang, Dona M. Gunawardana, William K. Myers, Beatrice Giuntoli, Emily Flashman, Francesco Licausi

The paper shows that H2O2 stabilizes ERFVII transcription factors in reoxygenation, leading to repression of hypoxia markers and activation of oxidative stress genes.
