High impact information on PAS1

The expression of the PAS1 gene is increased in the presence of cytokinins, a class of phytohormones originally discovered because of their ability to stimulate cell division [1].
There are three complementation groups of pas mutants (pas1, pas2, and pas3, with, respectively 2, 1, and 4 alleles) [1].
We have isolated mutants pasticcino belonging to 3 complementation groups (pas1, pas2, pas3) in the progeny of independent ethyl methane sulfonate and T-DNA mutagenized Arabidopsis thaliana plants [2].
These two enzymes are responsible for PPIase activity in both soluble and membrane-associated fractions of thylakoid lumen suggesting that other lumenal immunophilins are not active towards the peptide substrates [3].
Profound redox-dependence of PPIase activity implies oxidative activation of protein folding catalysis under oxidative stress and photosynthetic oxygen production in the thylakoid lumen of plant chloroplasts [3].

Other interactions of PAS1

PAS2 expression was found in every plant organ and was not regulated by PAS1 and PAS3 genes [4].
