General aspects of plant thioredoxins
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Chloroplast is the organelle for photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. In it the presence of a light-dependent ferredoxin/thioredoxin system (FTS) and a NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC), have been implicated in plant defense response and at the same time constitute important redox mechanism to provide reducing power to thioredoxins. This organelle also has a critical role in plant innate immunity against pathogen infection, where thioredoxins are the major responsible of to maintain proteins in their reduced state. The present work present a review of the scientific literature about some important aspects of plant thioredoxins.
