The focus of this month's new antibody release are specific antibodies to various proteins of plant mitochondria. 

• Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO₂.

Anti-PDHE1-A | Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit alpha-1, mitochondrial
Anti-PDHE1-B | Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit beta-1, mitochondrial

• SHMT1 is an enzyme of the photorespiratory pathway, which catalyzes the interconversion of serine and glycine. It is involved in controlling cell damage caused by abiotic stress, such as high light and salt, and the hypersensitive defense response of plants.

Anti-SHMT1 | Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1, mitochondrial

• TIM10 acts as intermembrane chaperone that participates in the import and insertion of multi-pass transmembrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Anti-TIM10 | Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit TIM10

• TOM40 is the central component of the receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins.

Agrisera supported the 6th Summer Academy, held at the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMPB), University of Tübingen, Germany, between the 14th and 16th of September.

Agrisera's Best Poster Prize was awarded to David Biermann from the Department of General Genetics, Centre for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), Eberhard Karls University. His winning poster was titled "A RALF-Brassinosteroid morpho-signaling circuit regulates Arabidopsis hypocotyl cell shape". The data presented on the poster are a part of published article with the same title.

As the winner, he will be granted a free antibody of his choice from the Agrisera catalog.

Good luck with your research, and we are awaiting your fee antibody choice!
