A Negative Feedback Loop between PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs and HECATE Proteins Fine-Tunes Photomorphogenesis in ArabidopsisPIFs directly activate HEC expression in the dark, and HECs oppositely regulate PIF activity by heterodimerization, forming a negative feedback loop to fine-tune photomorphogenesis.
Three-Dimensional Visualization of the Tubular-Lamellar Transformation of the Internal Plastid Membrane Network during Runner Bean Chloroplast BiogenesisThree-dimensional visualization of the internal plastid membrane network using electron tomography reveals a dynamic tubular-parallel transformation and a helical manner of grana formation during runner bean chloroplast biogenesis.
The Evolutionarily Conserved Protein PHOTOSYNTHESIS AFFECTED MUTANT71 Is Required for Efficient Manganese Uptake at the Thylakoid Membrane in ArabidopsisAnalysis of an Arabidopsis mutant with a defect in photosystem II reveals that the integral thylakoid membrane protein PAM71 is involved in manganese and calcium homeostasis in the chloroplast.
Spontaneous Chloroplast Mutants Mostly Occur by Replication Slippage and Show a Biased Pattern in the Plastome of OenotheraSpontaneous chloroplast mutants mostly occur by replication slippage and display a mutation spectrum very different from that in the eukaryotic nucleus and that of bacteria.
TWISTED DWARF1 Mediates the Action of Auxin Transport Inhibitors on Actin Cytoskeleton DynamicsTWISTED DWARF1 determines downstream locations of auxin efflux transporters by adjusting actin cytoskeleton dynamics and mediates NPA action on these in an action that is evolutionary conserved.
S-Type Anion Channels SLAC1 and SLAH3 Function as Essential Negative Regulators of Inward K+ Channels and Stomatal Opening in ArabidopsisThe S-type anion channels SLAC1 and SLAH3 inhibit stomatal opening by inhibiting the activity of the K+in channels by protein-protein interaction in response to drought stress in Arabidopsis.
UV-B Perception and Acclimation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtiiThe single-cell photosynthetic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contains a conserved UV-B photoreceptor pathway and acclimates to UV-B.
