PIN-FORMED (PIN) polar protein localization directs transport of the growth and developmental regulator auxin in plants. Once established after cytokinesis, PIN polarity requires maintenance. Now, direct interactions between PIN, MAB4/MEL and PID proteins suggest self-reinforced maintenance of PIN polarity through limiting lateral diffusion.
PIN 形态(PIN)极性蛋白在植物中指导生长和发育调节剂生长素的运输。在细胞分裂后建立后,PIN 极性需要维持。现在,PIN、MAB4/MEL 和 PID 蛋白之间的直接相互作用表明,通过限制侧向扩散,PIN 极性的自我强化维持。
