Dithiol disulphide exchange in redox regulation of chloroplast enzymes in response to evolutionary and structural constraints

Plant Sci. 2017 Feb:255:1-11. doi: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2016.11.003. Epub 2016 Nov 8.

Abstract

Redox regulation of chloroplast enzymes via disulphide reduction is believed to control the rates of CO2 fixation. The study of the thioredoxin reduction pathways and of various target enzymes lead to the following guidelines.

Keywords: Calvin-Benson cycle; Disulphide; Dithiol; Ferredoxin; Redox regulation; Thioredoxin.
