Article Synopsis
- Some frog species possess a unique skeletal feature called the intercalary element (IE), found in the joints of their toes, which is associated with their climbing abilities.
- The IE is mainly observed in neobatrachian frogs and shows a distinct structure compared to typical toe bones.
- A study comparing the developmental processes of IEs in two different neobatrachian frogs indicated that they have similar mechanisms for IE formation, suggesting that these elements did not evolve independently in different lineages.
Arabidopsis basic leucine zipper transcription factor VIRE2-interacting protein 1 (VIP1) changes its localization from the cytosol to the nucleus when cells are subjected to mechanical or hypo-osmotic stress, although the mechanism of this change is not known. In this study, we show that change in VIP1 subcellular localization is synchronized with a change in the VIP1 phosphorylation state that is induced by mechanical/hypo-osmotic stress. VIP1 has three phosphorylatable serine residues in HXRXXS motifs, which are 14-3-3-binding targets.
