Structural Evolution of LEAFY Reveals DNA-Mediated Cooperativity and Dimerization Shifts at the Water-to-Land Transition

Leonie Verhage, Emmanuel Thévenon, Hicham Chahtane, Alice Jegou, Loïc GrandVuillemin, Max Nanao, Renaud Dumas, Chloé Zubieta, François Parcy

This study reveals how LEAFY transcription factors evolved DNA-binding specificity through structural changes in dimerization mechanisms during the water-to-land transition.
