Characterization of DNA methylation reader proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies and characterizes DNA methylation reader proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing context-specific binding preferences and functional roles.

Protein turnover in the developing Triticum aestivum grain

This study measures protein turnover rates in developing wheat grain using proteomics, revealing spatiotemporal patterns and quantifying the energy costs of protein synthesis and degradation.

Enzymes degraded under high light maintain proteostasis by transcriptional regulation in Arabidopsis

The paper shows that under high light stress in Arabidopsis, nuclear-encoded enzymes with increased degradation rates are compensated by transcriptional upregulation to maintain proteostasis, while plastid-encoded proteins rely on other mechanisms.

Autophagy promotes photomorphogenesis during seedling development in Arabidopsis in carbon limiting conditions

This study shows autophagy promotes photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis seedlings under carbon limitation by enhancing lipid turnover and chloroplast development.

Large scale measurement of protein synthesis rates over the diurnal cycle reveal pathway specific regulation of translation

The paper measures protein synthesis rates across the diurnal cycle in Arabidopsis, revealing pathway-specific translational regulation and energy allocation strategies.

In vivo homopropargylglycine incorporation enables nascent protein tagging, isolation and characterisation from Arabidopsis thaliana

This paper introduces HPG-based BONCAT to tag, isolate, and characterize nascent proteins in Arabidopsis, showing it is more efficient than AHA-based BONCAT.

Increased wheat protein content via introgression of a HMW glutenin selectively reshapes the grain proteome

Introgression of the 1Ay21* HMW-GS increases wheat grain protein content and improves bread-making quality by reshaping the grain proteome network.

Bioinformatic and experimental evidence for suicidal and catalytic plant THI4s

The paper investigates plant THI4 enzymes, finding that some are suicidal while others are catalytic, with implications for thiamin synthesis and energy efficiency.

Coordination and assembly of protein complexes encoded across mitochondrial and nuclear genomes is assisted by CLPP2 in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper shows that CLPP2 in Arabidopsis thaliana aids in coordinating and assembling protein complexes encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, affecting mitochondrial protein homeostasis.

Refining the composition of the Arabidopsis thaliana 80S cytosolic ribosome

This study refines the composition of Arabidopsis thaliana 80S cytosolic ribosomes by analyzing protein abundance, degradation, and synthesis rates, identifying novel ribosome-associated factors and turnover dynamics.
