Transport of phenoxyacetic acid herbicides by PIN-FORMED auxin transporters

PIN transporters are key players in distributing phenoxyacetic acid herbicides. Mutagenesis and cryo-EM structures elucidate substrate specificity and transport mechanisms, paving the way for improved synthetic auxin development and herbicide-resistant crops.

Structures and mechanism of the AUX/LAX transporters involved in auxin import

This study reveals the structural basis of auxin import by the AUX/LAX family. LAX3 binds auxin as well as herbicides via a proton-coupled mechanism, which offers insights into hormone recognition that is essential for lateral root growth.

Structures and mechanism of the plant PIN-FORMED auxin transporter

Structural and biophysical analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana auxin transporter PIN8 reveal that PIN transporters export auxin using an elevator mechanism.
