ABSTRACT ENOX (ECTO-NOX) proteins of the external surface of the plasma membrane catalyze oxidation of both NADH and hydroquinones and protein disulfide-thiol interchange. They exhibit both prion-like and time-keeping (clock) properties. The oxidative and interchange activities alternate to generate a regular period of 24 min in length. Here we report the cloning, expression and characterization of a constitutive plant ENOX protein activated by both natural (Indole-...
