 Congratulations to the Shabek Lab, and especially to our collaborators with Katie Dehesh’s group (UC Riverside), for contributing to an exciting new study!
Congratulations to the Shabek Lab, and especially to our collaborators with Katie Dehesh’s group (UC Riverside), for contributing to an exciting new study!
The work, “Bimodal retrograde signaling disrupts a suppressor network and activates a key transcriptional activator to direct stress responses,” uncovers how the plastidial metabolite MEcPP orchestrates stress-responsive gene expression. By dismantling suppressors (HAT1, TPL, and IMPα-9) and activating the transcription factor CAMTA3, MEcPP dynamically regulates gene networks central to the plant stress response. A great collaborative effort shedding new light on plastid-to-nucleus communication!
