Significance Cell-fate determination and cellular behavior in plants rely mainly on positional information intercellular communication. A plethora of cues are perceived by surface receptors integrated into an adequate output. Here, we show that the small receptor-like protein RLP44 acts as intermediary to connect for two well-known signaling molecules, brassinosteroid phytosulfokine, control cell fate root vasculature. Furthermore, receptor has functions independent from responses its...
DE-ETIOLATED 1 (DET1) and CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENESIS (COP1) are two essential repressors of Arabidopsis photomorphogenesis. These proteins can associate with CULLIN4 to form independent CRL4-based E3 ubiquitin ligases that mediate the degradation several photomorphogenic transcription factors, including ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), thereby controlling multiple gene-regulatory networks. Despite extensive biochemical genetic analyses their multi-subunit complexes, functional links between...
Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) exert an essential function in the transduction of signals from cell exterior to interior, acting as important regulators plant development and responses environmental conditions. A growing body evidence suggests that RLKs may play relevant roles plant-virus interactions, although details diversity effects underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The C4 protein different geminiviruses has been found interact with CLAVATA 1 (CLV1) clade. However, whether can...
Viruses manipulate the cells they infect in order to replicate and spread. Due strict size restrictions, viral genomes have reduced genetic space; how action of limited number proteins results cell reprogramming observed during infection is a long-standing question. Here, we explore hypothesis that combinatorial interactions may expand functional landscape proteome. We show encoded by plant-infecting DNA virus, geminivirus tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), physically associate with one...
Plants rely on cell surface receptors to integrate developmental and environmental cues into behaviour adapted the conditions. The largest group of these receptors, leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases, form a complex interaction network that is modulated extended by proteins. This raises question how specific outputs can be generated when receptor proteins are engaged in plethora promiscuous interactions. RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN 44 (RLP44) acts promote both brassinosteroid phytosulfokine...

SUMMARY Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites with limited proteomes that heavily rely on the cell molecular machinery for their multiplication and spread. Plant viruses frequently cause symptoms through interference host developmental programs. Despite agricultural relevance of symptom development in virus-infected crops, mechanisms underlying these viral effects remain elusive. Here, we show triggered by tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) depend physical interaction between...
Abstract Multicellularity arose independently in plants and animals, but invariably requires robust determination maintenance of cell fate. This is exemplified by the highly specialized water-and nutrient-conducting cells plant vasculature, which are specified long before their commitment to terminal differentiation. Here, we show that hormone receptor BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) required for root vascular fate maintenance, as BRI1 mutants ectopic xylem procambial position. However,...
ABSTRACT As intracellular parasites, viruses need to manipulate the molecular machinery of their host cells in order enable own replication and spread. This manipulation is based on activity virus-encoded proteins. The reduced size viral genomes imposes restrictions coding capacity; how action limited number proteins results massive cell reprogramming observed during infection a long-standing conundrum virology. In this work, we explore hypothesis that combinatorial interactions expand...
