Developmental control of plant Rho GTPase nano-organization by the lipid phosphatidylserine
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: GTPase clustering in response to a hormone Some lipid variants that are rare in plasma membranes function as signaling components. Studying root tip cells of the model plant Arabidopsis , Platre et al. found that phosphatidylserine, which is relatively abundant in plasma membranes, also modulates signaling pathways. Phosphatidylserine is required for the clustering of ROP6, a small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase), in membranes in response to signals from the plant hormone auxin. Changes in phosphatidylserine concentration altered the clustering of ROP6 and thus the auxin signaling response. Science , this issue p. 57
