Identification and Characterization of an OSH1 Thiol Reductase from Populus Trichocarpa.

ABSTRACT: Interferon gamma-induced lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT) is abundantly expressed in antigen-presenting cells and participates in the treatment and presentation of antigens by major histocompatibility complex II. Also, GILT catalyzes the reduction of disulfide bonds, which plays an important role in cellular immunity. (1) Background: At present, the studies of GILT have mainly focused on animals. In plants, GILT homologous gene (Arabidopsis thalianaOSH1: AtOSH1) was discovered in the forward screen of mutants with compromised responses to sulphur nutrition. However, the complete properties and functions of poplar OSH1 are unclear. In addition, CdCl₂ stress is swiftly engulfing the limited land resources on which humans depend, restricting agricultural produc
