Mechanistic insights into the regulation of plant phosphate homeostasis by the rice SPX2 – PHR2 complex

SPX receptors regulate plant phosphate response via PHR transcription factors. Here, based on crystal structure analysis of rice PHR2 complexes, the authors propose that SPX2 regulates PHR2 by preventing DNA binding and oligomerisation of the PHR2 CC domain.

MORF9 increases the RNA-binding activity of PLS-type pentatricopeptide repeat protein in plastid RNA editing

How the two types of key trans-acting factors, PLS-type pentatricopeptide repeat protein and the multiple organellar RNA editing factor, cooperate in plant RNA editing remains unknown. A study now uses crystal structures to characterize the mechanism.

Structural basis for specific single-stranded RNA recognition by designer pentatricopeptide repeat proteins

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins bind RNA and are involved in the regulation of RNA metabolism in eukaryotes. Here, the authors examine the capability of these proteins as modules for gene manipulation using structural biology methods.
