PMID: 37349485
Regulation of CO fixation in cyanobacteria is important both for the organism and global carbon balance. Here we show that phosphoketolase in Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 (SeXPK) possesses a distinct ATP-sensing...

. 2022 Oct;
35(1):24-66.
PMID: 36222573
Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant...

Plant Physiol
. 2017 Nov;
176(1):566-581.
PMID: 29133376
The formation of normal starch granules in Arabidopsis () leaf chloroplasts requires STARCH SYNTHASE 4 (SS4). In plants lacking SS4, chloroplasts typically produce only one round granule rather than multiple...

Seung D, Boudet J, Monroe J, Schreier T, David L, Abt M, et al.
Plant Cell
. 2017 Jul;
29(7):1657-1677.
PMID: 28684429
The molecular mechanism that initiates the synthesis of starch granules is poorly understood. Here, we discovered two plastidial proteins involved in granule initiation in leaves. Both contain coiled coils and...

J Biol Chem
. 2016 Jul;
291(39):20718-28.
PMID: 27458017
Arabidopsis leaf chloroplasts typically contain five to seven semicrystalline starch granules. It is not understood how the synthesis of each granule is initiated or how starch granule number is determined...

Lu K, Streb S, Meier F, Pfister B, Zeeman S
Plant Physiol
. 2015 Sep;
169(3):1638-55.
PMID: 26358415
The major component of starch is the branched glucan amylopectin, the branching pattern of which is one of the key factors determining its ability to form semicrystalline starch granules. Here,...

Pfister B, Lu K, Eicke S, Feil R, Lunn J, Streb S, et al.
Plant Physiol
. 2014 Jun;
165(4):1457-1474.
PMID: 24965177
The major component of starch is the branched glucan amylopectin. Structural features of amylopectin, such as the branching pattern and the chain length distribution, are thought to be key factors...

New Phytol
. 2013 Aug;
200(4):1064-75.
PMID: 23952675
Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking the SS4 isoform of starch synthase have strongly reduced numbers of starch granules per chloroplast, suggesting that SS4 is necessary for the normal generation of starch...

. 2009 Sep;
151(3):1582-95.
PMID: 19759345
Starch synthesis and degradation require the participation of many enzymes, occur in both photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic tissues, and are subject to environmental and developmental regulation. We examine the distribution of...
