How plants regulate root growth and development How does plant 14-3-3 protein affect physiological responses Plant responses and phosphorylated protein body changes under salt stress

Laboratory Introduction

  • Protein phosphorylation plays an important role in signal transmission and is usually catalyzed by specific kinases. 14-3-3 is scaffold protein. 14-3-3 will bind to phosphorylated protein. The binding protein usually has Mode I (K/R XX S/TXP) or Mode II (K). /R XXX S/TXP) binding motif. These binding proteins include transcription factors, translation factors, membrane receptors and other important proteins. This laboratory uses Arabidopsis as a model organism, uses phosphorylated proteomics and mass spectrometry to identify protein phosphorylation sites, and uses biochemical genetic analysis methods to study the regulation and function of specific protein phosphorylation in salt stress and growth and development. Under salt stress, the activity of some membrane proteins on the membrane of plant cells, in particular, is regulated by phosphorylation to varying degrees. Mass spectrometry can identify these phosphorylation sites regulated by salt and quantify the degree of phosphorylation. In addition, the growth and development of plant roots are affected by internal metabolites or hormones and external environmental factors. Our laboratory has screened mutants with defects in root growth and development to try to find out the mechanism that causes the different phenotypes, and through the exploration of 14-3-3 combination The physiological function of protein, and analyze how 14-3-3 and binding protein affect plant physiology through the combination.
