Significance The exocyst complex is a conserved protein that tethers the secretory vesicles to site of membrane fusion during exocytosis, an essential cellular process transports molecules, such as protein, cell surface or extracellular space. We identified small molecule targets EXO70 (exocyst component 70 kDa) subunit inhibit exocytosis. This compound made it possible control dynamics exocytosis in dosage-dependent manner different organisms and overcame mutant lethality genetic redundancy...

In a plant cell, subset of actin filaments function as scaffold that positions the endomembrane system and acts substrate on which organelle motility occurs. Other filament arrays appear to be more dynamic reorganize in response growth signals external cues. The distorted group trichome morphology mutants provides powerful genetic tools study control nucleation context morphogenesis. this article, we report DISTORTED3 (DIS3) encodes plant-specific SCAR/WAVE homolog. Null alleles DIS3, like...

The leaf epidermis is an important architectural control element that influences the growth properties of underlying tissues and overall form organ. In dicots, interdigitated pavement cells are building blocks tissue, their morphogenesis includes assembly specialized cell walls surround apical, basal, lateral (anticlinal) surfaces. microtubule actin cytoskeletons highly polarized along cortex anticlinal wall; however, relationships between these arrays unclear.We developed new quantitative...

The MYB transcription factor superfamily is one of the largest superfamilies modulating various biological processes in plants. Over past few decades, many genes have been identified and characterized some plant species. However, belonging to peach (Prunus persica) not comprehensively although genome sequences were released several years ago. In total, this study yielded a set 256 that was divided into five subfamilies: R2R3-MYB (2R-MYB), R1R2R3-MYB (3R-MYB), MYB-related (1R-MYB), 4R-MYB,...

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family is a superfamily found in all eukaryotes that plays important roles regulating growth and development. Over the past several decades, many bHLH genes have been identified characterized herbaceous woody plants. However, belonging to peach (Prunus persica) not yet comprehensively characterized. Here, we 95 members of genome, these were classified into 19 subfamilies based on phylogenetic comparison with proteins from Arabidopsis....

In the human experience SCARs are permanent reminders of past events, not always based on bad decisions, but those in which an interplay opposing forces leaves behind a clear record form some watery mark. During plant morphogenesis, important proteins that reflect unusual evolutionary outcome, kingdom relies heavily this single class actin-related protein (ARP) 2/3 complex activator to dictate time and place actin filament nucleation. This unusually simple arrangement may serve as reminder...

The coupling of exo- and endocytic trafficking Cellulose Synthase Complexes (CSCs) has been proposed to be important for maintaining the population active CSCs at plasma membrane (PM) thus appropriate levels cell wall assembly. Although actin myosin are known participate in late stages exocytosis CSCs, their exact role during CSC internalization events remains controversial. We constructed a functional, photoconvertible fluorescent mEOS2-CESA6 reporter developed single-particle live-cell...

The emergence of structure and function at the mesoscale is critical for design complex molecular materials. In this work, we report an iterative liquid‐phase construction precision conjugated oligomers with alternating di‐ tetra‐arylsubstituted alkene (DAA TAA) building blocks. Due to dynamically reversible isomerization TAA blocks in backbone, system exhibited a library constitutional stereoisomers configurational metastability, as characterized by HRMS, chiral HPLC 2D excitation‐emission...

Abstract During polarized growth and tissue morphogenesis, cells must reorganize their cytoplasm change shape in response to signals. Dynamic polymerization of actin filaments is one cellular component growth, the actin-related protein 2/3 (ARP2/3) complex an important filament nucleator plants. ARP2/3 alone inactive, Arabidopsis thaliana WAVE translates Rho-family small GTPase signals into activation response. The SCAR subunit primary activator ARP2/3, plant vertebrate SCARs are encoded by...
