Functional specificity of protein interaction networks in plant hormone dependent regulation of cell fate determination
(P19)
Subject Area
Biochemistry
Term
from 2007 to 2018
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 26068018
The plant hormone auxin forms instructive concentration gradients and is transported both within and between cells by members of the PIN protein family. In this project we will investigate how, when, where and to what extent spatially and temporally-defined PIN regulation modules connect to control cell differentiation. We will perform a mechanistic examination of the structural basis for PIN1 function, follow the functional specificity of PIN interacting proteins and determine in which contexts and how their functional specificity affects PIN protein localization and function.
