Investigating Plant Protein–Protein Interactions Using FRET-FLIM with a Focus on the Actin Cytoskeleton
The study of protein–protein interactions is fundamental to understanding how actin-dependent processes are controlled through the regulation of actin-binding proteins by their interactors. FRET-FLIM (Förster ...

Open AccessTraB family proteins are components of ER-mitochondrial contact sites and regulate ER-mitochondrial interactions and mitophagy
ER-mitochondrial contact sites (EMCSs) are important for mitochondrial function. Here, we have identified a EMCS complex, comprising a family of uncharacterised mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, TRB1, TRB...

Open AccessPlant AtEH/Pan1 proteins drive autophagosome formation at ER-PM contact sites with actin and endocytic machinery
The Arabidopsis EH proteins (AtEH1/Pan1 and AtEH2/Pan1) are components of the endocytic TPLATE complex (TPC) which is essential for endocytosis. Both proteins are homologues of the yeast ARP2/3 complex activat...

Open AccessThe role of the skin barrier in modulating the effects of common skin microbial species on the inflammation, differentiation and proliferation status of epidermal keratinocytes
Skin resident microbial species are often thought of either as pathogenic or commensal. However, little is known about the role of the skin barrier in modulating their potential for causing disease. To investi...
