Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 270050988
In the previous funding period, we identified novel functions and mechanisms underlying NTRC as a crucial mediator of high light and cold acclimation, which we now aim to characterize in more detail. To investigate how NTRC or Trxs m1/m2 regulate the remodeling of the proteome during high light acclimation, we will study the regulation of nuclear genes at the level of the transcriptome and retrograde signaling, employing RNA-Seq and genetic screens. To better understand the role of NTRC and other Trxs in regulating the Calvin-Benson cycle in light and cold we will analyze PRK/CP12/GAPDH supra-complex formation via gel-filtration and the redox-states of the respective proteins via redox-proteomics or gel-shift assays.
