Lysine biosynthesis integrates carbon availability and energy homeostasis under fluctuating CO2
UncategorizedAbstractLysine metabolism connects amino acid biosynthesis with mitochondrial respiration through coordinated synthesis and degradation pathways that interface with the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC). The critical role of this pathway is underscored…
Transcription factor ANAC087 coordinates symplastic Cd exclusion and apoplastic Cd sequestration to enhance cadmium resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana
UncategorizedAbstractCadmium (Cd) exclusion and sequestration are vital mechanisms for plant survival under heavy metal stress, yet the upstream regulatory networks governing these coordinated processes remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified the NAC transcription factor ANAC087 as a key positive regulator…
OsGSK2-OsBSK3 feedback loop controls rice BR signaling
UncategorizedAbstractBrassinosteroids (BRs) are essential plant hormones that regulate growth and development, including leaf angle regulation and grain size determination. Maintaining appropriate BR signaling requires precise coordination between pathway activation and attenuation. BR signaling is initiated by OsBRI1…
Glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoenolpyruvate synthase are key metabolic nodes for high-light acclimation in cyanobacteria
UncategorizedAbstractBalancing energy supply from photosynthetic light reactions with downstream metabolic demand is critical for preventing photosystem damage. Although energy-dissipation mechanisms involving remodeling of photosystems are well known, the role of downstream metabolic routes in energy dissipation…
The energy sensor SnRK1 promotes starvation-induced autophagosome formation by modulating ATG13a phosphorylation in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractIn eukaryotes, autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular degradation and recycling process that is tightly associated with cellular nutrient status. The energy sensor SNF1-RELATED KINASE 1 (SnRK1) is thought to sense nutrient starvation and induce autophagy, but how it regulates autophagosome…
From stress perception to metabolite disposition: dynamic regulation of stilbene biosynthesis in plants
UncategorizedAbstractStilbenes are inducible plant specialized metabolites, best exemplified by resveratrol, a phytoalexin that links environmental perception, defense responses, and phenylpropanoid resource allocation. Stilbene accumulation may be controlled at three mechanistically distinct levels: signaling cascades…
