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…

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…
