While genomics and post-genomics studies have revealed that plant cell redox state is
controlled by a complex genetic network, available data mean that catalase must continue to …

Originally, the peroxisomal targeting signal 1 (PTS1) was defined as a tripeptide at the C-
terminus of proteins prone to be imported into the peroxisomal matrix. The corresponding …

We have established a protocol for the isolation of highly purified peroxisomes from mature
Arabidopsis thaliana leaves and analyzed the proteome by complementary gel-based and …

Lipid droplets (LDs) and peroxisomes are central players in cellular lipid homeostasis: some
of their main functions are to control the metabolic flux and availability of fatty acids (LDs and …

Fireflies and their luminous courtships have inspired centuries of scientific study. Today
firefly luciferase is widely used in biotechnology, but the evolutionary origin of …

Transcriptome and metabolite profiling of rice (Oryza sativa) embryo tissue during a detailed
time course formed a foundation for examining transcriptional and posttranscriptional …

To specify the C-terminal peroxisome targeting signal type 1 (PTS1) and the N-terminal
PTS2 for higher plants, a maximum number of plant cDNAs and expressed sequence tags …

Peroxisomal matrix proteins have to be imported into their target organelle post-
translationally. The major translocation pathway depends on a C-terminal targeting signal …

We refined the motifs for carboxy-terminal protein prenylation by analysis of known
substrates for farnesyltransferase (FT), geranylgeranyltransferase I (GGT1) and …

The proper distribution of proteins between the cytosol and various membrane-bound
compartments is crucial for the functionality of eukaryotic cells. This requires the cooperation …
