Also known as
thioredoxin putative plastidic; Thioredoxin z; TRX P
Summary
Encodes a plastidial thioredoxin (TRX) isoform that defines a branch of plastidial TRXs lying between x- and y-type TRXs and thus was named TRX z. Possesses disulfide reductase activity in vitro. TRX z was previously named as Trx p (thioredoxin putative and plastidic) before its thioredoxin activity was confirmed (Meng et al., PNAS 2010, 107:3900). Knockout mutant of TRX z has a severe albino phenotype and is inhibited in chloroplast development. Two fructokinase-like proteins (FLN1 and FLN2), members of the pfkB-carbohydrate kinase family, are potential TRX z targets.
