Petra Marhava at MCS-CEITEC – How Plants Deal with Heat and Cold.
I would like to thank Petra Marhava for visiting us at CEITEC in the framework of the Mendel Centre Seminars. It was fantastic to talk about “How Plants Deal with Heat and Cold” from an angle of Molecular Mechanisms of Auxin Transport in Response to Temperature Stress. It is good to remember that the Plasma…
How Roots Grow Downwards: Mystery of Lipid Asymmetry Influencing Plasma Membrane Protein Delivery Was Uncovered
Members of the Tomasz Nodzynski Research Group from CEITEC Masaryk University contributed to the recent work of Jiri Friml from IST Austria, which was published in Plant Cell, and links intracellular trafficking and auxin coordinated root gravitropism. Gravitropism is the capacity of a plant to sense gravity and align its growth accordingly. The growth of roots along the gravity vector…
Nodzynski’s team described the structure of PIN1 hydrophilic loop
Veronika Bilanovicova, Tomasz Nodzynski and his team described the structure of the hydrophilic loop (HL), a central part of PIN1 protein, that serves as a transporter of auxin phytohormone. The research team showed that the hydrophilic loop is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP). The findings were recently published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences and will most probably influence the…
Zooming on PIN structure – Scientific Meeting in Katowice
Once more I want to thank Dr Ewa Mazur, for the invitation to look together with the colleagues from University of Silesia, Faculty of Natural Sciences on PIN auxin carrier structure. The event title was “Zooming on PIN structure through a membrane topology lens”. It was a great opportunity to present the work done at CEITEC…
