Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | AMER SOC PLANT BIOLOGISTS | Source: | PLANT CELL, 29(11), p. 2831-2853 | Abstract: | Folates (B9 vitamins) are essential cofactors in one-carbon metabolism. Since C1 transfer reactions are involved in synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and other biomolecules, as well as in epigenetic control, folates are vital for all living organisms. This work presents a complete study of a plant DHFR-TS (dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase) gene family that implements the penultimate step in folate biosynthesis. We demonstrate that one of the DHFR-TS isoforms (DHFRTS3) operates as an inhibitor of its two homologs, thus regulating DHFR and TS activities and, as a consequence, folate abundance. In addition, a novel function of folate metabolism in plants is proposed, i.e., maintenance of the redox balance by contributing to NADPH production through the reaction catalyzed by methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, thus allowing plants to cope with oxidative stress. | Notes: | [Gorelova, Vera; De Lepeleire, Jolien; Blancquaert, Dieter; Van Der Straeten, Dominique] Univ Ghent, Dept Biol, Lab Funct Plant Biol, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium.
