Abstract excerpt
Posttranslational activation of nitrate reductase (NR) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and other higher plants is mediated by dephosphorylation at a specific Ser residue in the hinge between the molybdenum cofactor and heme-binding domains. The activation of NR in green leaves takes place after dark/light shifts, and is dependent on photosynthesis. Previous studies using various inhibitors pointed to...
