FERONIA: A Receptor Kinase at the Core of a Global Signaling Network
Annu Rev Plant Biol. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1146/annurev-arplant-102820-103424. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInitially identified as a key regulator of female fertility in Arabidopsis, the FERONIA (FER) receptor kinase is now recognized as crucial for almost all aspects of plant growth and survival. FER partners with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein of the LLG family to act as coreceptors on the cell surface. The FER-LLG coreceptor interacts with different RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF) peptide ligands to function in various growth and developmental processes and to respond to challenges from the environm...

The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor and its Pentameric Homologs: Toward an Allosteric Mechanism of Signal Transduction at the Atomic Level
Annu Rev Biochem. 2024 Feb 12. doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-030122-033116. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has served, since its biochemical identification in the 1970s, as a model of an allosteric ligand-gated ion channel mediating signal transition at the synapse. In recent years, the application of X-ray crystallography and high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, together with molecular dynamic simulations of nicotinic receptors and homologs, have opened a new era in the understanding of channel gating by the neurotransmitter. They reveal, at atomic resolution, the diversity and flex...
