2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases as stimulus reinforcers. (A) Anabolic (GA20ox, GA3ox) and catabolic (GA2ox) alpha-ketoglutarate dependent enzymes function to prepare a cell mileau conducive to growth and development (increased formation and storage of alkaloids, expansins, glycosylases, and decreased formation of lignins) and a modulatory antioxidant process (formation of flavonoids). (B) Plant P4Hs catalyze the hydroxylation of proline-rich peptide segments of cell wall glycoproteins, stabilizing the macromolecule. Conversely, decreased activity might result in loosely networked unstable components, that are required for continued growth.
