• Downregulation of N-terminal acetylation triggers ABA-mediated drought responses in Arabidopsis 

      Linster, Eric; Stephan, Iwona; Bienvenut, Willy V.; Maple-Grødem, Jodi; Myklebust, Line Merethe; Huber, Monika; Reichelt, Michael; Sticht, Carsten; Møller, Simon Geir; Meinnel, Thierry; Arnesen, Thomas; Giglione, Carmela; Hell, Rüdiger; Wirtz, Markus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07)
      N-terminal acetylation (NTA) catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (Nats) is among the most common protein modifications in eukaryotes, but its significance is still enigmatic. Here we characterize the plant NatA ...
    • Natural peptides with antioxidant activity from Atlantic cod and Atlantic salmon residual material 

      Pampanin, Daniela M.; Haar, Marianne Bore; Sydnes, Magne Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03)
      Summary. Water-soluble peptides/proteins with molecular weight below 10 kDa were isolated from residual material of cod (liver, skin, and cod mix i.e. skin, frames, and viscera), and salmon (skin, and salmon mix i.e. skin, ...
    • PLATINUM SENSITIVE 2 LIKE impacts growth, root morphology, seed set, and stress responses 

      Lillo, Catherine; Kataya, Amr R. A.; Creighton, Maria Terese; Napitupulu, Toga P.; Sætre, Christine; Heidari, Behzad; Ruoff, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07)
      Eukaryotic protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) is a PP2A-type protein phosphatase that is part of a conserved complex with regulatory factors PSY2 and PP4R2. Various lines of Arabidopsis thaliana with mutated PP4 subunit genes ...
    • Sensitivity analysis of a pathway with respect to fast and small temperature change 

      Zakhartsev, Maksim; Ruoff, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Temperature affects all enzymes simultaneously in a metabolic system. The enzyme concentration in a biochemical system can be considered as invariant under fast and small temperature change. Therefore, the total sensitivity ...
    • Stem cell regulation: Implications when differentiated cells regulate symmetric stem cell division 

      Høyem, Marte Rørvik; Måløy, Frode; Jakobsen, Per; Brandsdal, Bjørn Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05)
      We use a mathematical model to show that if symmetric stem cell division is regulated by differentiated cells, then changes in the population dynamics of the differentiated cells can lead to changes in the population ...
    • The organization of controller motifs leading to robust plant iron homeostasis 

      Agafonov, Oleg; Selstø, Christina Helen; Thorsen, Kristian; Xiang, Ming Xu; Drengstig, Tormod; Ruoff, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-01)
      Iron is an essential element needed by all organisms for growth and development. Because iron becomes toxic at higher concentrations iron is under homeostatic control. Plants face also the problem that iron in the soil is ...
