High impact information on STR16

• A comparative transcriptome analysis for successive stages of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) developmental leaf senescence (NS), darkening-induced senescence of individual leaves attached to the plant (DIS), and senescence in dark-incubated detached leaves (DET) revealed many novel senescence-associated genes with distinct expression profiles [1].
• This protein is categorized as single-domain sulfurtransferase and is annotated as a senescence-associated protein (sen1-like protein) and ketoconazole resistance protein (http://arabidopsis.org/info/genefamily/STR_genefamily.html) [2].
• Two MYB transcription factor genes, PAP1 and PAP2, were identified as senescence-associated genes that are induced by glucose [3].
• Both cDNAs contained a full-length open reading frame, the expression of which increased the rhodanese activity of transgenic yeast [4].
• Addition of GIP1 to intentionally aggregated GBF converted GBF to lower molecular weight macromolecular complexes and GIP1 also refolded denatured rhodanese in the absence of ATP [5].

Biological context of STR16

• Phylogeny analysis suggested that GmRLCK was more close to and might have a common ancestor with several senescence-associated RLKs [6].

Associations of STR16 with chemical compounds

• Both recombinant proteins catalyzed the formation of SCN- from thiosulfate and cyanide as a rhodanese per definition; however, both recombinant proteins preferred 3-mercaptopyruvate to thiosulfate [7].

Other interactions of STR16

• The existence of rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase; EC 2.8.1.1) in plants has been highly controversial [4].
