Joseph Jez, chair, Spencer T. Olin Professor of Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, biology, Washington University in St. Louis, presents “Molecular Switches in Plant Sulfur and Redox Metabolism.” The regulation of plant thiol metabolism highlights nature’s ability to engineer pathways that respond to multiple inputs and cellular demands using mechanisms that range from the simple to the elaborate. The role of redox environment as a regulatory factor mediated by thiol-based control mechanisms govern the biochemical activity of different steps in these pathways.
