Polar auxintransportallows flexible adaptationofnewfunctions indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)
The PIN auxin efflux facilitator proteins enable flexible redirection of auxin and enable local auxin accumulation Atpin1 wt pin1
PIN proteinsaredynamicandloalized in microdomains • Characterization of polar auxin transporting micro-domains that orchestrate plant development. • How are they formed, how are they regulated ? • What is the functional auxin transport unit ? Auxin transporting microdomains
Arabidopsis PIN proteins: markers of cell polarity Atpin1 • share features with major facilitor super family • have a size of about 50 to 60 kDa • cycle between PM-EE-MVB and other compartments • PIN microdomains are distinct from plasmodesmata wt pin1 BFA Latrunculin
