The paper shows that altered iron-sulfur cluster transfer in Arabidopsis mitochondria leads to toxic sulfide release by lipoyl synthase, affecting plant growth and sulfide homeostasis.

This study identifies a sulfur trafficking pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana involving ABA3 and STR18, showing their interaction and functional synergy in trans-persulfidation.

The paper shows that GRXS15 deficiency disrupts mitochondrial lipoyl cofactor homeostasis, leading to metabolic defects in lipoyl cofactor-dependent dehydrogenase complexes, particularly affecting branched-chain amino acid catabolism.

The paper identifies redox-mediated activation of mitochondrial energy metabolism as critical for efficient seed germination in Arabidopsis.

Affinity purification of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast ribosomes and subsequent proteomic analysis revealed a broad spectrum of interactors ranging from global translation control to specific pathways.

This study identifies the BrxAB/BSH/YpdA pathway as critical for S. aureus to manage oxidative stress and survive infections by maintaining BSH redox homeostasis.

The paper investigates the role of GR2 in maintaining glutathione redox homeostasis in plastids and mitochondria of Arabidopsis, showing its essential function in plastids and partial redundancy in mitochondria.

The paper analyzes RIN4/NOI fragments cleaved by AvrRpt2, revealing that the N-end rule pathway degrades NOI-domain fragments but not RIN4.
