Exo84c-regulated degradation is involved in the normal self-incompatible response in Brassicaceae (2024)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Wang, K., Dou, S., Gao, E., Hussey, P. J., Lin, Z., & Wang, P. (2024). Exo84c-regulated degradation is involved in the normal self-incompatible response in Brassicaceae. Cell Reports, 43(3), Article 113913. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2024.113913

The self-incompatibility system evolves in angiosperms to promote cross-pollination by rejecting self-pollination. Here, we show the involvement of Exo84c in the SI response of both Brassica napus and Arabidopsis. The expression of Exo84c is specific...

Studying Plant ER-PM Contact Site Localized Proteins Using Microscopy (2024)
Book Chapter
Li, L., Zhang, T., Hussey, P. J., & Wang, P. (2024). Studying Plant ER-PM Contact Site Localized Proteins Using Microscopy. In V. Kriechbaumer (Ed.), . Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-3710-4_3

As in most eukaryotic cells, the plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network is physically linked to the plasma membrane (PM), forming ER-PM contact sites (EPCS). The protein complex required for maintaining the EPCS is composed of ER integral membrane... Read More about Studying Plant ER-PM Contact Site Localized Proteins Using Microscopy.

Mitophagy in plants: Emerging regulators of mitochondrial targeting for selective autophagy (2024)
Journal Article
Duckney, P. J., Wang, P., & Hussey, P. J. (2024). Mitophagy in plants: Emerging regulators of mitochondrial targeting for selective autophagy. Journal of Microscopy, https://doi.org/10.1111/jmi.13267

The degradation and turnover of mitochondria is fundamental to Eukaryotes and is a key homeostatic mechanism for maintaining functional mitochondrial populations. Autophagy is an important pathway by which mitochondria are degraded, involving their s...

NET4 and RabG3 link actin to the tonoplast and facilitate cytoskeletal remodelling during stomatal immunity (2023)
Journal Article
Hawkins, T. J., Kopischke, M., Duckney, P. J., Rybak, K., Mentlak, D. A., Kroon, J. T. M., …Robatzek, S. (2023). NET4 and RabG3 link actin to the tonoplast and facilitate cytoskeletal remodelling during stomatal immunity. Nature Communications, 14(1), Article 5848. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-41337-z

Members of the NETWORKED (NET) family are involved in actin-membrane interactions. Here we show that two members of the NET family, NET4A and NET4B, are essential for normal guard cell actin reorganization, which is a process critical for stomatal cl...

Exo84c interacts with VAP27 to regulate exocytotic compartment degradation and stigma senescence (2023)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Li, Y., Li, C., Zang, J., Gao, E., Kroon, J. T., …Wang, P. (2023). Exo84c interacts with VAP27 to regulate exocytotic compartment degradation and stigma senescence. Nature Communications, 14(1), Article 4888. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40729-5

In plants, exocyst subunit isoforms exhibit significant functional diversity in that they are involved in either protein secretion or autophagy, both of which are essential for plant development and survival. Although the molecular basis of autophagy... Read More about Exo84c interacts with VAP27 to regulate exocytotic compartment degradation and stigma senescence.

Keep in contact: multiple roles of endoplasmic reticulum–membrane contact sites and the organelle interaction network in plants (2023)
Journal Article
Wang, P., Duckney, P., Gao, E., Hussey, P. J., Kriechbaumer, V., Li, C., Zang, J., & Zhang, T. (2023). Keep in contact: multiple roles of endoplasmic reticulum–membrane contact sites and the organelle interaction network in plants. New Phytologist, 238(2), 482-499. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.18745

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure these activities take place effectively, cells have evolved an interconnecte...

TraB, a novel plant ER-mitochondrial contact site protein functions as a mitophagy receptor in plants (2022)
Journal Article
Duckney, P., Li, C., Hussey, P. J., & Wang, P. (2023). TraB, a novel plant ER-mitochondrial contact site protein functions as a mitophagy receptor in plants. Autophagy, 19(7), 2148-2150. https://doi.org/10.1080/15548627.2022.2151190

Autophagic degradation of mitochondria (known as mitophagy) is known to occur in all eukaryotes, and is important for the turnover of damaged mitochondria and recycling of nutrients during starvation. Targeting of mitochondria for autophagic degradat... Read More about TraB, a novel plant ER-mitochondrial contact site protein functions as a mitophagy receptor in plants.

TraB family proteins are components of ER-mitochondrial contact sites and regulate ER-mitochondrial interactions and mitophagy (2022)
Journal Article
Li, C., Duckney, P., Zhang, T., Fu, Y., Li, X., Kroon, J., De Jaeger, G., Cheng, Y., Hussey, P. J., & Wang, P. (2022). TraB family proteins are components of ER-mitochondrial contact sites and regulate ER-mitochondrial interactions and mitophagy. Nature Communications, 13, Article 5658. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-33402-w

ER-mitochondria contact sites (EMCSs) are important for mitochondrial function. Here, we have identified a EMCS complex, comprising a family of uncharacterised mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, TRB1, TRB2 and the ER protein, VAP27-1. In Arabidop...
