Abstract excerpt
Plant sulfate assimilation is regulated by demand for reduced sulfur, as is its key enzyme, adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APR). In a genetic screen for mutants lacking this regulation, we identified the bZIP transcription factor LONG HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) as a necessary component of the regulatory circuit. Regulation of APR activity by the inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, buthionine sulfoximine, or by the...
