Leucine-Rich Repeat Receptor Kinases

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) have discovered a new mechanism that protects the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sorting of Leucine-Rich Repeat Receptor Kinases (LRR-RKs) in Arabidopsis cells. In eukaryotic cells, protein sorting in the secretory pathway is critical for cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis. The endoplasmic reticulum is…
