Abstract excerpt
Monochlorobimane was used as a model xenobiotic for Arabidopsis to directly monitor the compartmentation of glutathione-bimane conjugates in situ and to quantify degradation intermediates in vitro. Vacuolar sequestration of the conjugate was very fast and outcompeted carboxypeptidation to the gamma-glutamylcysteine-bimane intermediate (gamma-EC-B) by phytochelatin synthase (PCS) in the cytosol. Following vacuolar...
