Project description

This project will identify plant proteins that react with ROS on the thiol (-SH) of cysteine, which after reaction

forms a sulfenic acid (-SOH). A genetic probe is used to identify sulfenylated proteins - the sulfenome - at a proteome-wide scale during oxidative stress. A detailed structural and functional view of the mode of action of these redox proteins during signaling and oxidative stress survival will be established.
