So happy this is out as a preprint (for) now. Since measuring ATP is tricky, we used ATP biosensors in collab with @schwarzlanderlab.bsky.social to show that in chloroplasts without PGR5, NPQ and pmf are diminished, yet ATP levels unchanged. Balancing ATP/NADPH must be achieved by different means.

Hydrogen sulfide modulates plant hypoxic responses through the persulfidation of Plant Cysteine Oxidases Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a gaseous molecule historically regarded as toxic. Nevertheless, increasing evidence has brought to light important physiological roles in both animals and plants. In plants,...

Happy to share the key part of my PhD! In our latest preprint with Salma Akter, @emilyflashman.bsky.social & @beagiuntoli.bsky.social, we show that H₂S is involved in oxygen sensing in plants!
How? Check it out!🌱✨

Many thanks to all the authors involved!

Ubiquitin E3 ligases in the plant Arg/N-degron pathway Regulation of protein longevity via the ubiquitin (Ub) — proteasome pathway is fundamental to eukaryotic biology. Ubiquitin E3 ligases (E3s) interact with substrate proteins and provide specificity to...

Very interesting review that chimes with a lot of our thinking (and some of our current experimental directions) on N-degron pathway components portlandpress.com/biochemj/art...

Long time in the making, but our original idea of swapping oxygen sensing mechanisms across eukaryotes proved effective. Thanks for your perseverance! @vinayshukla.bsky.social @syno2xis.bsky.social

Preprint alert, please share!!
With our new study, we engineered an orthogonal hypoxia-responsive system in plants inspired by mammalian HIF protein degradation. We demonstrated that this system could control protein stability and activity, enabling modulation of Oxygen sensing outputs. Here's how:
