Mitochondrial respiration in plants provides energy for biosynthesis, and its balance with
photosynthesis determines the rate of plant biomass accumulation. We describe recent …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for signal transduction and cell metabolism, and is also
an essential structural component of the extracellular matrix of the skeleton. Pi is sensed in …

Mitochondrial carriers (MCs) are a superfamily of nuclear-encoded proteins that are mostly
localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane and transport numerous metabolites …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral nutrient for plant growth and development. Low
availability of inorganic phosphate (orthophosphate; Pi) in soil seriously restricts the crop …

We describe a proteomics method for determining the subcellular localization of membrane
proteins. Organelles are partially separated using centrifugation through self-generating …

Finger millet is a nutri-rich cereal crop of poor people living in the developing countries of
Asia and Africa. Finger millet grains contain high amounts of potassium, phosphorus …

The mitochondrial carriers (MC) constitute a large family (MCF) of inner membrane
transporters displaying different substrate specificities, patterns of gene expression and …

All known eukaryotes require copper for their development and survival. The essentiality of
copper reflects its widespread use as a co-factor in conserved enzymes that catalyze …

Copper is required for the activity of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal electron-
accepting complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The likely source of copper used …

Recent research on the regulation of cellular phosphate (Pi) homeostasis in eukaryotes has
collectively made substantial advances in elucidating inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsP) as …
