Autophagy in plants and algae
Autophagy is a major cellular degradation pathway in which materials are delivered to the vacuole in double-membrane vesicles known as autophagosomes, broken down, and recycled (Li and Vierstra, 2012; Liu and Bassham, 2012). In photosynthetic organisms, the pathway is strongly activated by biotic and abiotic stresses, including nutrient limitation, oxidative, salt and drought stress and pathoge...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Lipids and Hydrocarbons in Algae
Lipids function as important storage compounds to maintain cellular activities. Lipids store high reducing power and energy since those biosynthetic processes require high amount of reducing cofactors and ATP. Storage lipids do not cause any chemical effect on cellular activity such as osmolarity, pH and ion strength because of its hydrophobicity. Membrane lipids such as phospholipids, caroteno...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway in plants and algae
During recent years genes for more than 20 different carotenogenic enzymes have been cloned from various organisms: bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, algae and plants. This accomplishment has provided new molecular tools to study the enzymes and yielded new information on their structure, function and regulation. We describe here the recent progress in the molecular genetics of the carotenoid bio...
متن کاملPost-translational control of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
The tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway provides the vital cofactors and pigments for photoautotrophic growth (chlorophyll), several essential redox reactions in electron transport chains (haem), N- and S-assimilation (sirohaem), and photomorphogenic processes (phytochromobilin). While the biochemistry of the pathway is well understood and almost all genes encoding enzymes of tetrapyrrole biosynt...
