Polyploids—organisms that have multiple sets of chromosomes—are common in certain
plant and animal taxa, and can be surprisingly stable. The evidence that has emerged from …

All organisms have evolved strategies to regulate ion and pH homeostasis in response to
developmental and environmental cues. One strategy is mediated by monovalent cation …

The increased availability of user‐friendly and accessible computational tools for
biomolecular modeling would expand the reach and application of biomolecular …

The mechanisms underlying starch granule initiation remain unknown. We have recently
reported that mutation of soluble starch synthase IV (SSIV) in Arabidopsis thaliana results in …

The molecular mechanism that initiates the synthesis of starch granules is poorly
understood. Here, we discovered two plastidial proteins involved in granule initiation in …

Vertebrate Tpr and its yeast homologs Mlp1/Mlp2, long coiled-coil proteins of nuclear pore
inner basket filaments, are involved in mRNA export, telomere organization, spindle pole …

We introduce the CC+ Database, a detailed, searchable repository of coiled-coil
assignments, which is freely available at http://coiledcoils. chm. bris. ac. uk/ccplus. Coiled …

The eukaryotic nucleus is enclosed by the nuclear envelope, which is perforated by the
nuclear pores, the gateways of macromolecular exchange between the nucleoplasm and …

Land plant cells assemble microtubule arrays without a conspicuous microtubule organizing
center like a centrosome. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the TONNEAU1 (TON1) proteins, which …

Core DNA replication proteins mediate the initiation, elongation, and Okazaki fragment
maturation functions of DNA replication. Although this process is generally conserved in …
