Cell Signaling in Plants01:25

Cell Signaling in Plants

4.6K
Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import01:46

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import

6.2K
Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry short stretches of amino acid sequences called the nuclear localization signal or NLS. Classical nuclear localization signals are of two types: monopartite and bipartite NLS. Monopartite classical NLS (cNLS) consists of a single cluster of 4-8 amino acids. Bipartite cNLS consists of two clusters of  2-3 amino acids and a 9-12 residue long proline-rich linker bridging the two clusters. Signal clusters are rich in positively charged amino acids such as...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

7.6K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Microbe-Plant Interactions01:09

Microbe-Plant Interactions

155
Microbe-plant interactions represent a dynamic spectrum of associations shaped by intricate chemical signaling. These interactions can be neutral, beneficial, or detrimental, and profoundly influence plant physiology, growth, and ecosystem function. The plant microbiome, comprising bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and viruses, plays a pivotal role in mediating these effects through surface colonization, internal colonization, or systemic symbiosis.Mutualistic associations, particularly with...

Signal Transduction: Overview01:26

Signal Transduction: Overview

8.6K
Cells respond to many types of information, often through receptor proteins positioned on the membrane. They respond to chemical signals, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and other signaling molecules, initiating a series of molecular reactions to produce an appropriate response. This is called signal transduction. Cells also coordinate different responses elicited by the same signaling molecule via mediators, allowing molecular cross-talk.
Typically, signal transduction involves three...

Plant Cell Wall02:43

Plant Cell Wall

44.3K
The plant cell wall gives plant cells shape, support, and protection. As a cell matures, its cell wall specializes according to the cell type. For example, the parenchyma cells of leaves possess only a thin, primary cell wall.

Area of Science:

  • Plant immunity
  • Innate immune system
  • Molecular mechanisms

Background:

  • Nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins are crucial for plant and vertebrate innate immunity.
  • In plants, NLRs act as intracellular receptors detecting pathogen effectors, triggering programmed cell death (PCD) and defense responses.
  • Elucidating the precise molecular mechanisms of NLR activation and downstream signaling in plants has been challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in understanding plant NLR protein function in immunity.
  • To highlight new insights into NLR sub-cellular localization, structural biology, and activation regulation.
  • To discuss the role of intracellular trafficking and transcriptional regulation in NLR-mediated plant defense.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent scientific literature and studies.
  • Analysis of structural data, including crystal structures of NLR domains (CC and TIR).
  • Integration of findings from molecular modeling, sub-cellular localization studies, and research on intracellular trafficking.

Main Results:

  • Plant NLRs exhibit diverse sub-cellular localizations, potentially varying with effector detection sites.
  • Some NLRs relocalize upon effector detection, suggesting different signaling pathway involvement.
  • Advances in structural biology and molecular modeling illuminate NLR activation regulation through intra- and inter-molecular interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Recent progress is clarifying plant NLR activation mechanisms and their translation into defense responses.
  • Intracellular trafficking and transcriptional regulation are increasingly recognized as important components of NLR-mediated resistance.
  • Further research is needed to fully determine how plant NLR proteins are activated and induce defenses.
