BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE 2 regulates salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis by promoting AGL16 activity.

Salt stress is a negative environmental factors to affecting plants. Salinity inhibits seed germination and root growth, which reduces the biomass of agricultural plants. BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2) functions as a signalling hub to integrate the perception and transduction of plant growth and stress tolerance by the phosphorylation of target proteins.

Biochemical and genetic dissection of the RNA-binding surface of the FinO domain of ProQ.

RNA-binding proteins play important roles in bacterial gene regulation through interactions with both coding and noncoding RNAs. ProQ is a FinO-domain protein that binds a large set of RNAs in , though the details of how ProQ binds these RNAs remain unclear. In this study, we used a combination of in vivo and in vitro binding assays to confirm key structural features of ProQ's FinO domain and explore its mechanism of RNA interactions.
