The Cys-Arg/N-end rule pathway is a general sensor of abiotic stress in flowering plants
The N-end rule pathway is a conserved pathway for the control of protein turnover, through which the clipping or modification of amino acids from the amino-terminus of a protein leads to an interaction with PROTEOLYSIS 6 (PRT6; an N-recognin E3 ligase) and 26S proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Previously, hypoxia (low oxygen) and nitric oxide (NO) were shown to […]
