Article Abstract
The orientation of cell division and the coordination of cell polarity within the plane of the tissue layer (planar polarity) contribute to shape diverse multicellular organisms. The root of Arabidopsis thaliana displays regularly oriented cell divisions, cell elongation and planar polarity providing a plant model system to study these processes. Here we report that the SABRE protein, which shares similarity with proteins of unknown function throughout eukaryotes, has important roles in orienting cell division and planar polarity. SABRE localizes at the plasma membrane, endomembranes, mitotic spindle and cell plate. SABRE stabilizes the orientation of CLASP-labelled preprophase band microtubules predicting the cell division plane, and of cortical microtubules driving cell elongation. During planar polarity establishment, sabre is epistatic to clasp at directing polar membrane domains of Rho-of-plant GTPases. Our findings mechanistically link SABRE to CLASP-dependent microtubule organization, shedding new light on the function of SABRE-related proteins in eukaryotes.

Morphogenetic information arises from a combination of genetically encoded cellular properties and emergent cellular behaviors. The spatio-temporal implementation of this information is critical to ensure robust, reproducible tissue shapes, yet the principles underlying its organization remain unknown. We investigated this principle using the mouse auditory epithelium, the organ of Corti (OC).

The planar and lateral HCl-gas etching behavior of (001) β-GaO under oxygen supply were investigated at partial pressures of (O) = 0-2.5 kPa and 645-1038°C, while maintaining a constant HCl supply partial pressure of (HCl) at 63 Pa. At 747°C, the planar etch rate (PER) exhibited a slight decrease with increasing (O).

Background: Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins are well known for their insecticidal properties, primarily through the formation of ion-leakage pores via α4-α5 hairpins. His178 in helix 4 of the Cry4Aa mosquito-active toxin has been suggested to play a crucial role in its biotoxicity.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the functional importance of Cry4Aa-His178 through experimental and computational analyses.

Aim: Prickle planar cell polarity (PCP) protein 2 (Prickle2) encodes a homologue of Drosophila prickle and is involved in the non-canonical Wnt/PCP signalling pathway. However, its exact role in dentinogenesis remains unclear. Dentinogenesis, a key process in tooth morphogenesis, involves the patterned arrangement of odontoblasts and the formation of dentine matrix along the pulp cavity.

Cilia are membrane-covered hair-like organelles built on specialized centrioles and conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution. They are either motile or immotile, serving respectively as versatile signaling antennae or elegant beating nanomachines. Accordingly, their dysfunctions cause a wide variety of developmental and degenerative disorders, which in human are syndromes termed ciliopathies.
