Wu and Hegde annotate and analyze the topology of 4,863 human endoplasmic reticulumโinserted membrane proteins and their 20,546 transmembrane domains, showing that transmembrane domains inserted by different pathways can tolerate different biophysical properties. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Mitochondria interact directly with the nuclear pore complex via VDAC1โRANBP2 binding to sustain nuclear ATP levels.
๐ฑSeedling emergence needs active mitochondria but that invites damage. Enter SPL2, a mitochondrial E3 ligase. It degrades outer membrane proteins to reduce ER-mitochondria tethering & mitophagy
Light boosts SPL2. Mitophagy drops. Seedling pushes via soil #plantscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...
๐ฑ๐งฌ SnRK2.6 phosphorylates and stabilizes PTRE1, which boosts 26S proteasome activity during ABA signaling. Loss of PTRE1 increases ABI5 levels and enhances ABA sensitivity.
A dual mechanism fine tunes ABA responses #plantscience @mplantpcom.bsky.social

Plants sense water deficiency through SAM8 protein condensation, which responds to reduced hydration and triggers stress adaptation by altering RNA export and gene translation.
This study reports that abscisic acid (ABA) activates sucrose nonfermenting 1-related
kinase 2.6 (SnRK2.6), which phosphorylates proteasome regulator 1 (PTRE1) and inhibits
its degradation, thereby st...
This study reveals a mechanism by which plants control mitochondrial quality during seedling emergence. The authors identify the protein SPL2, which tags damaged mitochondria for degradation, thereby ...
ATG8 conjugation on damaged lysosomes triggers rapid assembly of a protein complex containing TFG, which directs lysosomal membrane repair by recruiting ESCRT proteins to sites of damage.
