Till date, CWINs have been found to play a primary role in assimilate partitioning, thus regulating the grain weight in crops including rice (Cheng et al. 1996; Hirose et al. 2002; Wang et al. 2008; Tang et al. 2017; Li et al. 2013).
Our results provide no information about how carbon partitioning is regulated at the level of enzyme activity.
It plays an important metabolic role in adult life as a partitioning hormone, regulating body composition and function (Merriam and Cummings 2003).
Many plasmid backbone genes essential for conjugative transfer, replication initiation, and active partitioning are regulated both autogenously and by host factors [ 5].
While there has been major progress in our understanding of lipid biosynthesis in various plants and tissue types, gaps still remain with regard to how carbon partitioning is regulated and the oil content and composition is dictated [ 14, 16, 18, 27, 32– 32].
In forest ecosystems, the rate of aboveground plant litter decomposition regulates partitioning of organic C into soil organic matter and CO2 [28].
According to this view, deamidation may be interpreted as a molecular switch that regulates partitioning over time between two molecule subpopulations of a certain protein, which are also functionally modified.
Soj and Spo0J are members of the ParA/B family of partitioning proteins that regulate transcription of early sporulation genes and assist in maintaining chromosome architecture [ 31].
Based on our data, we hypothesize that intersectin via its binding to endocytic clathrin adaptors (i.e. FCHo, AP-2) may regulate partitioning of endophilin A between pathways of clathrin-mediated SV reformation and clathrin-independent membrane retrieval at synapses and possibly in non-neuronal cells.
This study highlights the importance of coupled geochemical cycling of Fe, S and As for As mobilization and reveals how it regulates As partitioning between groundwater and sediments.
