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…

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…
