Kawai group published a paper.
A research team led by Professor Maki Kawai at Saitama University has discovered that the protein CCR4C functions as an NADP phosphatase—an enzyme that dephosphorylates NADP(H) within chloroplasts—in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This finding marks a significant step forward in understanding how plants regulate photosynthesis and respond to stress.
