Towards understanding vacuolar antioxidant mechanisms: a role for fructans?
Recent in vitro, in vivo, and theoretical experiments strongly suggest that sugar-(like) molecules counteract oxidative stress by acting as genuine reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers. A concept was proposed to include the vacuole as a part of the cellular antioxidant network. According to this view, sugars and sugar-like vacuolar compounds work in concert with vacuolar phenolic compounds ...
متن کاملImplication of Fructans in Health: Immunomodulatory and Antioxidant Mechanisms
Previous studies have shown that fructans, a soluble dietary fiber, are beneficial to human health and offer a promising approach for the treatment of some diseases. Fructans are nonreducing carbohydrates composed of fructosyl units and terminated by a single glucose molecule. These carbohydrates may be straight or branched with varying degrees of polymerization. Additionally, fructans are resi...
متن کاملA surprising role for vacuolar pyrophosphatase.
Following germination, seed plants rely on stored nutrient reserves to sustain growth of the embryo. In oil-containing seeds, this period of heterotrophic growth requires b-oxidation, the glyoxylate cycle, and gluconeogenesis to convert stored lipids to sucrose, which provides energy to developing tissues in the form of ATP. Macromolecular synthesis in these tissues requires large amounts of AT...
متن کاملMechanisms and concepts paving the way towards a complete transport cycle of plant vacuolar sorting receptors.
Delivery of proteins to the lytic vacuole in plants is a complex cascade of selective interactions that specifically excludes residents of the endoplasmic reticulum and secreted proteins. Vacuolar transport must be highly efficient to avoid mistargeting of hydrolytic enzymes to locations where they could be harmful. While plant vacuolar sorting signals have been well described for two decades, ...
متن کاملTowards Understanding the History and Mechanisms of Martian Faulting
Introduction: An understanding of the sources of stress, and the expected style, orientation, and magnitudes of stress and associated strain is important for understanding the evolution of faulting on Mars and its relationship to loading, thus leading to an improved understanding of Martian geologic history and surface morphology. The Tharsis province, characterized by radial graben sets and ci...
