The researchers are currently trying to find out what causes this improved drought resistance.
Proteins serve a variety of purposes in plants in addition to being the fundamental building blocks of life. More than 20 billion protein molecules make up a typical plant cell, helping to stabilize its structure and sustain cellular metabolism.Centre for Organismal Studies have shed light on a biological process that increases the life of plant proteins. They have now discovered a crucial protein, called N-terminal acetylation, that controls this mechanism.
The important protein that has now been found, according to the Heidelberg researchers led by Professor Dr. Rüdiger Hell and Dr. Markus Wirtz, is known as the Huntingtin Yeast Interactor Protein K . It promotes N-terminal acetylation, extending the lifespan of plant proteins—important for, among other things, adapting to environmental circumstances.
The Heidelberg team used thale cress to investigate the regulation properties of the HYPK protein. Due to its well-studied genome, the plant from the family Brassicaceae is a popular model organism.
