Nonetheless, it is only partially understood how K(+) contributes to plant productivity. K(+) is used as a major active solute to maintain turgor and to drive irreversible and reversible changes in cell volume. K(+) also plays an important role in numerous metabolic processes, for example, by serving as an essential cofactor of enzymes. Here, we provide evidence for an additional, previously unrecognized role of K(+) in plant growth. By combining diverse experimental approaches with computational cell simulation, we show that K(+) circulating in the phloem serves as a decentralized energy storage that can be used to overcome local energy limitations. Posttranslational modification of the phloem-expressed Arabidopsis K(+) channel AKT2 taps this "potassium battery," which then efficiently assists the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase in energizing the transmembrane phloem (re) loading processes.}, language = {en} } @article{HemmeVeyelMuehlhausetal.2014, author = {Hemme, Dorothea and Veyel, Daniel and Muehlhaus, Timo and Sommer, Frederik and Jueppner, Jessica and Unger, Ann-Katrin and Sandmann, Michael and Fehrle, Ines and Schoenfelder, Stephanie and Steup, Martin and Geimer, Stefan and Kopka, Joachim and Giavalisco, Patrick and Schroda, Michael}, title = {Systems-wide analysis of acclimation responses to long-term heat stress and recovery in the photosynthetic model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii}, series = {The plant cell}, volume = {26}, journal = {The plant cell}, number = {11}, publisher = {American Society of Plant Physiologists}, address = {Rockville}, issn = {1040-4651}, doi = {10.1105/tpc.114.130997}, pages = {4270 -- 4297}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We applied a top-down systems biology approach to understand how Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acclimates to long-term heat stress (HS) and recovers from it. For this, we shifted cells from 25 to 42 degrees C for 24 h and back to 25 degrees C for >= 8 h and monitored abundances of 1856 proteins/protein groups, 99 polar and 185 lipophilic metabolites, and cytological and photosynthesis parameters. Our data indicate that acclimation of Chlamydomonas to long-term HS consists of a temporally ordered, orchestrated implementation of response elements at various system levels. These comprise (1) cell cycle arrest; (2) catabolism of larger molecules to generate compounds with roles in stress protection; (3) accumulation of molecular chaperones to restore protein homeostasis together with compatible solutes; (4) redirection of photosynthetic energy and reducing power from the Calvin cycle to the de novo synthesis of saturated fatty acids to replace polyunsaturated ones in membrane lipids, which are deposited in lipid bodies; and (5) when sinks for photosynthetic energy and reducing power are depleted, resumption of Calvin cycle activity associated with increased photorespiration, accumulation of reactive oxygen species scavengers, and throttling of linear electron flow by antenna uncoupling. During recovery from HS, cells appear to focus on processes allowing rapid resumption of growth rather than restoring pre-HS conditions.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Sandmann2013, author = {Sandmann, Michael}, title = {Biochemische und cytologische Marker der Zellentwicklung synchronisierter St{\"a}mme con Chlamydomonas reinhardtii}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {121 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {de} }
