Programmed chloroplast destruction during leaf senescence involves 13-lipoxygenase (13-LOX).
Leaf senescence is the terminal stage in the development of perennial plants. Massive physiological changes occur that lead to the shut down of photosynthesis and a cessation of growth. Leaf senescence involves the selective destruction of the chloroplast as the site of photosynthesis. Here, we show that 13-lipoxygenase (13-LOX) accomplishes a key role in the destruction of chloroplasts in sene...
متن کاملPhase Behavior of Chloroplast and Microsomal Membranes during Leaf Senescence.
Wide angle x-ray diffraction of chloroplast and microsomal membranes from primary leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris has revealed that for both types of membrane, portions of the lipid become crystalline as the tissue senesces. For young leaves the transition temperature is about 23 C for microsomes and below -30 C for chloroplast membranes, indicating that at physiological temperature the lipid is e...
متن کاملProgrammed Cell Senescence during Mammalian Embryonic Development
Cellular senescence disables proliferation in damaged cells, and it is relevant for cancer and aging. Here, we show that senescence occurs during mammalian embryonic development at multiple locations, including the mesonephros and the endolymphatic sac of the inner ear, which we have analyzed in detail. Mechanistically, senescence in both structures is strictly dependent on p21, but independent...
متن کاملInterleukin-13 upregulates vasodilatory 15-lipoxygenase eicosanoids in rabbit aorta.
OBJECTIVE Vasorelaxation of rabbit aorta is mediated by factors released from the vascular endothelium. In the aortic endothelium, arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized via the 15-lipoxygenase pathway to the vasodilatory compounds 11,12,15-trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (THETA) and 15-hydroxy-11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (HEETA). Interleukin-13 (IL-13) increases 15-lipoxygenase expression and a...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel chloroplast protein AtNYE1 regulating chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
A dramatic increase of chlorophyll (Chl) degradation occurs during senescence of vegetative plant organs and fruit ripening. Although the biochemical pathway of Chl degradation has long been proposed, little is known about its regulatory mechanism. Identification of Chl degradation-disturbed mutants and subsequently isolation of responsible genes would greatly facilitate the elucidation of the ...
