Molybdenum is the only second-row transition metal required by most living organisms, and
is nearly universally distributed in biology. Enzymes containing molybdenum in their active …

The process by which extracellular signals are relayed from the plasma membrane to
specific intracellular sites is an essential facet of cellular regulation. Many signaling …

Abstract The 14-3-3 family of proteins mediates signal transduction by binding to
phosphoserine-containing proteins. Using phosphoserine-oriented peptide libraries to …

In addition to their essential roles as substrates in carbon and energy metabolism and in
polymer biosynthesis, sugars have important hormone-like functions as primary messengers …

AGPase, ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase GS, glutamine synthetase GOGAT, glutamate:
oxoglutarate amino transferase NADP‐ICDH, NADP‐dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase …

Mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase and yeast SNF1 protein kinase are the central
components of kinase cascades that are highly conserved between animals, fungi, and …

Nitrogen (N) is the main mineral element in plant tissues and almost all of this nutrient is
acquired from the soil by the roots. Nitrogen is available in many different forms in the soil …

▪ Abstract Nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6. 6.1-3) catalyzes NAD (P) H reduction of nitrate to
nitrite. NR serves plants, algae, and fungi as a central point for integration of metabolism by …

This chapter includes a historic overview of 14-3-3 proteins with an emphasis on the
differences between potentially cancer-relevant isoforms on the genomic, protein and …

Recently nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a key signalling molecule in plants. Here we
review the potential sources of endogenous NO, outline the biological processes likely to be …
