Carbonic anhydrase network of genes trigger cytosolic pH enabling differentiation from quiescence
BackgroundCarbonic anhydrase regulates various cellular processes. Intracellular pH flux impacted by carbonic anhydrase alters the enzymes allosteric active site which effects several downstream cellular processes. Earlier, we reported that, the catalytic activity of carbonic anhydrase is independent, but direction of catalysis is affected by cellular pH level. On the other hand carbonic anhydrase alters the cytosolic pH level to facilitate allosteric phosphorylation of proteins which further leads to cellular differentiation through a process being regulated by ncRNAs.\n\nResultsThis study illustrates various ways of cell differentiation/ organ development regulation via carbonic anhydrase interacting network of proteins involved in various cellular processes. It is involved in protein degradation process of other proteins like RPT, 26S proteasome, AT3G15120 and its variant producing ncRNA, etc. Carbonic anhydrase indirectly involved in signaling process along with MAPK in providing innate resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. It is also indirectly linked to cell membrane transporters like H+-ATPase and V-ATPase B.\n\nConclusionsThough carbonic anhydrase is not directly linked with EMS1 as revealed by network analyses and protein-protein interaction there could be a suitable condition generated by the carbonic anhydrase for EMS1 to be active. Hence, we report that carbonic anhydrase, along with other pH regulating gene complexes plays a major role for making EMS1 functional.
