Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information plants with reduced cysteine desulfurase expression due to RNA interference exhibit chlorosis, a disorganized chloroplast structure, and stunted growth and eventually become necrotic and die before seed set. Photosynthetic electron transport and carbon dioxide assimilation are severely impaired. Silencing of chloroplastic cysteine desulfurase decreases the abundance of all chloroplastic Fe/S proteins tested, mitochondrial proteins and respiratory chain are not affected Arabidopsis thaliana
additional information chloroplastic NifS-like protein (CpNifS)-knockdown plants, reduced CpNifS expression exhibits chlorosis, a disorganized chloroplast structure, and stunted growth, photosynthetic electron transport and carbon dioxide assimilation are severely impaired. The silencing of CpNifS decreases the abundance of all chloroplastic Fe-S proteins tested, CpNifS silencing has no effects on mitochondrial Fe-S protein levels or respiration, suggesting that the mitochondrial Fe-S biogenesis machinery does not depend on CpNifS Arabidopsis thaliana
