MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential non-coding riboregulators of gene expression in plants
and animals. In plants, miRNAs guide their effector protein named ARGONAUTE (AGO) to …

For many years we have studied the processes involved in producing miRNAs in plants and
the numerous differences from their metazoan counterpart. A well-defined catalytic process …

The methyltransferase complex (MTC) deposits N 6-adenosine (m6A) onto RNA, whereas
the microprocessor produces microRNA. Whether and how these two distinct complexes …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are produced from highly structured primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs)
and regulate numerous biological processes in eukaryotes. Due to the extreme …

SERRATE (SE) plays an important role in many biological processes and under biotic stress
resistance. However, little about the control of SE has been clarified. Here we present a …

Stress granules (SGs) are conserved reversible cytoplasmic condensates enriched with
aggregation-prone proteins assembled in response to various stresses. How plants regulate …

Ubiquitination is a fundamental mechanism regulating the stability of target proteins in
eukaryotes; however, the regulatory mechanism in seed longevity remains unknown. Here …

Phosphorylation can quickly switch on/off protein functions. Here, we reported pre-mRNA
processing 4 kinase A (PRP4KA), and its paralogs interact with Serrate (SE), a key factor in …

The proteasome is a multi-catalytic protease complex that is involved in protein quality
control via three proteolytic activities (ie, caspase-, trypsin-, and chymotrypsin-like activities) …

Eukaryotic cells contain numerous membraneless organelles that are made from liquid
droplets of proteins and nucleic acids and that provide spatiotemporal control of various …
