The absence of functional CAF-1 results in deficiencies in H3.3 levels at transcribed loci in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractEukaryotic organisms organize their genetic material in chromatin rather than naked DNA. Efficient chromatin assembly is essential for all DNA-templated processes, including replication, transcription, and DNA repair. Our research focused on two major histone H3 deposition complexes: Chromatin…
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Biochemistry | University of Missouri
UncategorizedColumbia, Missouri, The University of Missouri (MU) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) within the Division of Biochemistry, which is also affiliated with the School of Medicine (SOM). Responsibilities will include…
Specific Light-harvesting complexes mediate grana stacking and prevent energy spillover between photosystems in plant chloroplasts
UncategorizedAbstractLand plant chloroplasts are characterized by a prominent morphological feature: the stacking of thylakoid membranes into grana, i.e. defining a continuous membranous structure surrounded by the stroma and folded into appressed grana and non-appressed domains, enclosing the thylakoid lumen.Photosystem…
Best Practices for Biotin Ligase-based Proximity Labeling Proteomics in Plant Systems
UncategorizedAbstractProximity labeling (PL) proteomics, primarily powered by engineered biotin ligases such as BioID and TurboID, has emerged as a transformative approach for mapping protein association networks and subcellular proteomes in living cells. By covalently biotinylating proteins within a nanometer-scale…
A regulatory module integrates lipid metabolism and cell wall remodeling to establish the seed coat palisade barrier
UncategorizedAbstractSeed physical dormancy is a crucial adaptive trait conferred by the water-impermeable seed coat, particularly its specialized palisade layer. Although the structural components of this barrier, including the cuticle and cell wall polysaccharides, are well characterized, the molecular mechanisms…
Molecular Characterization of capulet2 reveals the importance of ANAPHASE PROMOTING COMPLEX 6 maternal expression in Endosperm Development
UncategorizedAbstractFlowering plants are characterized by a double fertilization event, and the fertilized female gametes develop into the endosperm and embryo. Genomic imprinting promotes parental allele-specific gene expression in the endosperm by epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation. Similarly, gametophyte…
OsGRP3 deacetylation drives nuclear condensate assembly and transcriptional reprogramming under salt stress
UncategorizedAbstractHigh soil salinity poses a major threat to global crop yields. Although cytoplasmic stress granules are known to contribute to plant responses to salt stress, the function and regulatory mechanisms of nuclear condensates in rice during stress response have remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate…
