Hypothesis/review: contribution of putrescine to 4-aminobutyrate (GABA) production in response to abiotic stress.
Barry J. Shelp,Gale G. Bozzo,Christopher P. Trobacher,Adel Zarei,Kristen L. Deyman,Carolyne J. Brikis +5 more
TL;DR: Apple fruit is known to accumulate GABA under controlled atmosphere storage and therefore could serve as a model system for investigating the relative contribution of putrescine and glutamate to GABA production, and may directly influence the activities of diamine oxidase and 4-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase.

Calmodulin-dependent and calmodulin-independent glutamate decarboxylases in apple fruit
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether this phenomenon could be mediated via Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) activation of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity.
Catabolism of GABA in apple fruit: Subcellular localization and biochemical characterization of two γ-aminobutyrate transaminases

TL;DR: Continuous monitoring of recombinant GABA-T activity via a bacterial NADP + -dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase-linked assay established that the two GABA-Ts in apple fruit utilized pyruvate and glyoxylate, but not 2-oxoglutarate, thus, the substrate specificity of the two apple fruit GA-Ts was similar to that for the GABA- Ts in Arabidopsis and tomato.

Arabidopsis thaliana β-glucosidase BGLU15 attacks flavonol 3-O-β-glucoside-7-O-α-rhamnosides.
Jonathon Roepke,Gale G. Bozzo +1 more
TL;DR: It appears the loss of flavonol 3-O-β-glucoside-7- o-α-rhamnosides in Arabidopsis is dependent upon the enzyme-mediated cleavage of the 3-o-β linked glucose moiety.

Plant Glyoxylate/Succinic Semialdehyde Reductases: Comparative Biochemical Properties, Function during Chilling Stress, and Subcellular Localization.
Adel Zarei,Carolyne J. Brikis,Vikramjit S. Bajwa,Greta Z. Chiu,Jeffrey P. Simpson,Jennifer R. DeEll,Gale G. Bozzo,Barry J. Shelp +7 more
TL;DR: These findings highlight the potential regulation of highly conserved plant GLYRs by NADPH/NADP+ ratios in planta, and their roles in the reduction of toxic aldehydes in plants subjected to chilling stress.
