A GPI Signal Peptide-Anchored Split-Ubiquitin (GPS) System for Detecting Soluble Bait Protein Interactions at the MembraneBait fusion proteins with a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol signal sequence anchor enable effective split ubiquitin screening for interactions with otherwise soluble membrane proteins.
ABA Accumulation in Dehydrating Leaves Is Associated with Decline in Cell Volume, Not Turgor PressureReanalysis of published experimental data shows that in dehydrating leaves ABA accumulation is linked with reduction of cell volume rather than turgor, providing clues toward signaling mechanisms.
Seedlings Lacking the PTM Protein Do Not Show a genomes uncoupled (gun) Mutant PhenotypeThe ptm mutant of Arabidopsis does not show a genomes uncoupled mutant phenotype and PTM is therefore unlikely to function in chloroplast-to-nucleus signaling as previously reported.
Inositol Polyphosphate Binding Specificity of the Jasmonate Receptor ComplexInositol polyphosphate binding specificity of the jasmonate receptor is largely determined by the F-box protein COI1.
The Developmental Basis of Stomatal Density and FluxEquations for stomatal density and maximum theoretical stomatal conductance as functions of stomatal initiation rate, epidermal cell size, and stomatal size enable scaling from development to flux.
Inhibition of Cell Expansion by Rapid ABP1-Mediated Auxin Effect on Microtubules? A Critical CommentCritical analysis of a recent article raises questions regarding the inhibition of cell expansion by rapid ABP1-mediated auxin effect on microtubules.
On the Extent of Tyrosine Phosphorylation in ChloroplastsReanalysis of published mass spectrometry data on Tyr-phosphorylated chloroplast proteins indicates that the majority of peptide spectrum matches reporting Tyr phosphorylation are ambiguous.
Tryptophan-Independent Indole-3-Acetic Acid Synthesis: Critical Evaluation of the EvidenceEvidence for Trp-independent IAA synthesis is critically reevaluated in the light of tryptophan synthase proteome data, local IAA synthesis and Trp, indole-3-pyruvate, and IAA turnover.
Low Sugar Is Not Always Good: Impact of Specific O-Glycan Defects on Tip Growth in ArabidopsisMutants of the O-glycosylation pathway of extensins as well as molecular dynamics simulations uncover the effects of the O-glycosylation machinery on root hair tip growth.
