Vierstra R, Quail P
Planta
. 2013 Nov;
156(2):158-65.
PMID: 24272311
Native phytochrome from Avena sativa L. is homogeneous with a monomeric molecular weight of 124 kdalton; 6-10 kdalton larger than the heterogeneous "120" kdalton preparations previously considered to be undegraded...

PMID: 24258779
The relative molecular mass (Mr) of the native phytochrome monomer from etiolated Cucurbita pepo L., Pisum sativum L., Secale cereale L. and Zea mays L. seedlings has been determined using...

Jones A, Vierstra R, Daniels S, Quail P
Planta
. 2013 Nov;
164(4):501-6.
PMID: 24248223
The spectral properties of peptides generated from etiolated-Avana, 124-kDa (kilodalton) phytochrome by endogenous protease(s) have been studied to assess the role of the amino-terminal and the carboxyl-terminal domains in maintaining...

185(3):287-96.
PMID: 24186408
J.M. Keller et al. (1989, EMBO J. 8, 1005-1012) introduced a phytochrome gene controlled by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) providing material to test...

McCormac A, Cherry J, Hershey H, Vierstra R, Smith H
Planta
. 2013 Nov;
185(2):162-70.
PMID: 24186338
The physiological responses of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants that express high levels of an introduced oat (Avena sativa L.) phytochrome (phyA) gene to various light treatments are compared...

Downes B, Vierstra R
Biochem Soc Trans
. 2005 Mar;
33(Pt 2):393-9.
PMID: 15787614
The concept that plants exploit polypeptides as post-translational modifiers is rapidly emerging as an important method to manipulate various cellular processes. The best known is Ub (ubiquitin) that serves as...

Fu H, Reis N, Lee Y, Glickman M, Vierstra R
EMBO J
. 2001 Dec;
20(24):7096-107.
PMID: 11742986
The 26S proteasome plays a major role in eukaryotic protein breakdown, especially for ubiquitin-tagged proteins. Substrate specificity is conferred by the regulatory particle (RP), which can dissociate into stable lid...

Bhoo S, Davis S, Walker J, Karniol B, Vierstra R
Nature
. 2001 Dec;
414(6865):776-9.
PMID: 11742406
Phytochromes comprise a principal family of red/far-red light sensors in plants. Although phytochromes were thought originally to be confined to photosynthetic organisms, we have recently detected phytochrome-like proteins in two...

Doelling J, Yan N, Kurepa J, Walker J, Vierstra R
Plant J
. 2001 Sep;
27(5):393-405.
PMID: 11576424
The ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway is a major route for selectively degrading cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins in eukaryotes. In this pathway, chains of ubiquitins become attached to short-lived proteins, signalling recognition...

PMID: 11402195
The committed step in the biosynthesis of the phytochrome chromophore phytochromobilin involves the oxidative cleavage of heme by a heme oxygenase (HO) to form biliverdin IXalpha. Through positional cloning of...
