PIN5 and PIN8 the Yin and Yang of membrane topology

“Mapping the membrane orientation of auxin homeostasis regulators PIN5 and PIN8 in Arabidopsis thaliana root cells reveals their divergent topology” is on-line (and in pdf). Big congratulations to Yewubnesh and the team Vendula, Nikola, Veronika, Marta and Marek. We are very happy to contribute to the very active research field of Endoplasmic Reticulum PIN auxin…

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…
