The functional significance of the alternative first exons of the Arabidopsis thaliana APT1 gene
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-30)In plants, adenine nucleotides are essential for nucleic acid synthesis, as cofactors for biochemical reactions, and as precursors for the biosynthesis of the phytohormone cytokinin. Adenine nucleotides, such as AMP, are ... -
Investigating the localization and functional significance of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase1 in Arabidopsis chloroplasts
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-02)Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APT) is a housekeeping enzyme that catalyses the principal route of adenine recycling in plants. Of the five APT genes encoded in the Arabidopsis genome, APT1 is the most highly expressed. ...
