Abstract:Plants have a diurnal separation of metabolic fluxes and a need for differential maintenance of protein machinery. To directly assess aggregate protein translation and degradation for specific proteins and to estimate the ATP investment involved, the individual rates of synthesis and degradation of hundreds of different proteins were measured in Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes. Proteins involved in photosynthesis, especially components of the light harvesting complexes, were synthesized much faster in the day (~… Show more
