Leaf-specifically expressed genes for polypeptides destined for chloroplasts with domains of σ70 factors of bacterial RNA polymerases in Arabidopsis thaliana

Isono, Kyoichi, Shimizu, Masanori, Yoshimoto, Kohki, Niwa, Yasuo, Satoh, Kimiyuki, Yokota, Akiho, ...

Genes for σ-like factors of bacterial-type RNA polymerase have not been characterized from any multicellular eukaryotes, although they probably play a crucial role in the expression of plastid...

Processing of ATG8s, Ubiquitin-Like Proteins, and Their Deconjugation by ATG4s Are Essential for Plant Autophagy

Yoshimoto, Kohki, Hanaoka, Hideki, Sato, Shusei, Kato, Tomohiko, Tabata, Satoshi, Noda, Takeshi, ...

Autophagy is an intracellular process for vacuolar degradation of cytoplasmic components. Thus far, plant autophagy has been studied primarily using morphological analyses. A recent genome-wide...

An Arabidopsis Homolog of Yeast ATG6/VPS30 Is Essential for Pollen Germination1[W]

Fujiki, Yuki, Yoshimoto, Kohki, Ohsumi, Yoshinori

Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Atg6/Vps30 is required for autophagy and the sorting of vacuolar hydrolases, such as carboxypeptidase Y. In higher eukaryotes, however, roles for ATG6/VPS30 homologs...

Mobilization of Rubisco and Stroma-Localized Fluorescent Proteins of Chloroplasts to the Vacuole by an ATG Gene-Dependent Autophagic Process1[W][OA]

Ishida, Hiroyuki, Yoshimoto, Kohki, Izumi, Masanori, Reisen, Daniel, Yano, Yuichi, Makino, Amane, ...

During senescence and at times of stress, plants can mobilize needed nitrogen from chloroplasts in leaves to other organs. Much of the total leaf nitrogen is allocated to the most abundant plant...

Autophagy Plays a Role in Chloroplast Degradation during Senescence in Individually Darkened Leaves1[W][OA]

Wada, Shinya, Ishida, Hiroyuki, Izumi, Masanori, Yoshimoto, Kohki, Ohsumi, Yoshinori, Mae, Tadahiko, ...

Chloroplasts contain approximately 80% of total leaf nitrogen and represent a major source of recycled nitrogen during leaf senescence. While bulk degradation of the cytosol and organelles in plants...
