Abstract excerpt
Enzyme protein turnover accounts for about half the maintenance energy budget in plants. Slowing turnover─i.e., extending the effective working life (Catalytic Cycles till Replacement, CCR)─of short-lived enzymes is thus a rational strategy to conserve energy and carbon and raise crop productivity. Arabidopsis histidinol dehydrogenase (HDH) is a short-lived enzyme that can sustain life-shortening damage from its...
