A new pathway for vacuolar cadmium sequestration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: YCF1-catalyzed transport of bis(glutathionato)cadmium

Li, Ze-Sheng, Lu, Yu-Ping, Zhen, Rui-Guang, Szczypka, Mark, Thiele, Dennis J., Rea, Philip A.

The yeast cadmium factor (YCF1) gene encodes an MgATP-energized glutathione S-conjugate transporter responsible for the vacuolar sequestration of organic compounds after their S-conjugation with...

AtMRP1 gene of Arabidopsis encodes a glutathione S-conjugate pump: Isolation and functional definition of a plant ATP-binding cassette transporter gene

Lu, Yu-Ping, Li, Ze-Sheng, Rea, Philip A.

Because plants produce cytotoxic compounds to which they, themselves, are susceptible and are exposed to exogenous toxins (microbial products, allelochemicals, and agrochemicals), cell survival is...

AtPCS1, a phytochelatin synthase from Arabidopsis: Isolation and in vitro reconstitution

Vatamaniuk, Olena K., Mari, Stéphane, Lu, Yu-Ping, Rea, Philip A.

Phytochelatins, a class of posttranslationally synthesized peptides, play a pivotal role in heavy metal, primarily Cd2+, tolerance in plants and fungi by chelating these substances and decreasing...

Insights into corn genes derived from large-scale cDNA sequencing

Alexandrov, Nickolai N., Brover, Vyacheslav V., Freidin, Stanislav, Troukhan, Maxim E., Tatarinova, Tatiana V., Zhang, Hongyu, ...

We present a large portion of the transcriptome of Zea mays, including ESTs representing 484,032 cDNA clones from 53 libraries and 36,565 fully sequenced cDNA clones, out of which 31,552 clones are...
