We have recently shown that the NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC) functions as a redox regulator of the Calvin-Benson cycle protein CP12 and thereby modulates C-metabolism during cold acclimation in green algae and plants. We will continue to investigate the NTRC-mediated cold-regulation with a special emphasis on the conserved 2Fe-2S cluster-containing protein CrNEET, a yet uncharacterized cold-and redox-dependent inter-action partner of NTRC. The project aims at elucidating the functional connection between NEET, NTRC, and CP12 to investigate the spatiotemporal organization of cold acclimation.
