A single helix repression domain is functional across eukaryotes

The paper identifies a conserved repression domain in LisH-containing proteins across eukaryotes and validates its function in yeast and plants.

Repression by the Arabidopsis TOPLESS corepressor requires association with the core Mediator complex

This study identifies a repression domain in Arabidopsis TPL that interacts with Mediator subunits, essential for transcription repression in yeast and plants.

Auxin promotion of seedling growth via ARF5 is dependent on the brassinosteroid-regulated transcription factors BES1 and BEH4.

The paper identifies ARF5 and BES1/BEH4 as co-regulators of growth-promoting genes through conserved cis-regulatory elements, showing their interdependence in auxin and brassinosteroid signaling during seedling development.

Mapping and dynamics of regulatory DNA in maturing seeds

The paper maps regulatory DNA dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds and finds novel regulatory elements that are more developmentally influenced than environmental factors.

Synthetic analysis of natural variants yields insights into the evolution and function of auxin signaling F-box proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper uses synthetic biology to analyze natural variation in auxin signaling F-box proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana, linking sequence changes to altered auxin sensitivity and molecular function.
