Oxygen sensing in plants is mediated by an N-end rule pathway for protein destabilization

F Licausi, M Kosmacz, DA Weits, B Giuntoli, FM Giorgi… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
The majority of eukaryotic organisms rely on molecular oxygen for respiratory energy production
1 . When the supply of oxygen is compromised, a variety of acclimation responses are …

APETALA 2/Ethylene Responsive Factor (AP 2/ERF) transcription factors: Mediators of stress responses and developmental programs

F Licausi, M Ohme‐Takagi, P Perata - New Phytologist, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Transcription factors belonging to the APETALA 2/Ethylene R esponsive F actor ( AP 2/ ERF
) family are conservatively widespread in the plant kingdom. These regulatory proteins are …

Oxygen sensing and signaling

JT van Dongen, F Licausi - Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Oxygen is an indispensable substrate for many biochemical reactions in plants, including
energy metabolism (respiration). Despite its importance, plants lack an active transport …

Making sense of low oxygen sensing

…, DJ Gibbs, MJ Holdsworth, SC Lee, F Licausi… - Trends in plant …, 2012 - cell.com
Plant-specific group VII Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) transcription factors have emerged
as pivotal regulators of flooding and low oxygen responses. In rice (Oryza sativa), these …

HRE1 and HRE2, two hypoxia‐inducible ethylene response factors, affect anaerobic responses in Arabidopsis thaliana

F Licausi, JT Van Dongen, B Giuntoli, G Novi… - The Plant …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Plants often experience challenging hypoxic conditions imposed by soil waterlogging or
complete flooding. In rice, Sub1A, a flooding‐induced ethylene responsive factor (ERF) plays a …

[HTML][HTML] Plant cysteine oxidases control the oxygen-dependent branch of the N-end-rule pathway

…, P Perata, JT Van Dongen, F Licausi - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
In plant and animal cells, amino-terminal cysteine oxidation controls selective proteolysis
via an oxygen-dependent branch of the N-end rule pathway. It remains unknown how the N-…

Oxygen-sensing mechanisms across eukaryotic kingdoms and their roles in complex multicellularity

EU Hammarlund, E Flashman, S Mohlin, F Licausi - Science, 2020 - science.org
BACKGROUND Animals and land plants are the most diverse complex multicellular life-forms
on Earth, and their success intricately links a capacity for adhering cells to perform …

Glycolysis and the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle Are Linked by Alanine Aminotransferase during Hypoxia Induced by Waterlogging of Lotus japonicus

M Rocha, F Licausi, WL Araújo, A Nunes-Nesi… - Plant …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
The role of nitrogen metabolism in the survival of prolonged periods of waterlogging was
investigated in highly flood-tolerant, nodulated Lotus japonicus plants. Alanine production …

Regulation of the molecular response to oxygen limitations in plants

F Licausi - New Phytologist, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
The oxygen availability to plant tissues can vary strongly in time and space. To endure short‐
or long‐term oxygen deprivation, plants evolved a series of metabolic and morphological …

Transcript profiling of the anoxic rice coleoptile

…, L Magneschi, E Loreti, S Gonzali, F Licausi… - Plant …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Rice (Oryza sativa) seeds can germinate in the complete absence of oxygen. Under anoxia,
the rice coleoptile elongates, reaching a length greater than that of the aerobic one. In this …
