The association of Rad52 with Rad51, while not critical for Rad51 filament formation, is crucial to protect Rad51 filaments from Srs2 translocase activity through the association of Rad52 with complete Rad51 filaments.

The Srs2 helicase functions in Synthesis-Dependent Strand Annealing to avoid crossover formation during homologous recombination by disrupting D-loops that are extended by DNA polymerase delta in an ATP-dependent and direction-specific manner.

Crk proteins are critical mediators of FGF signaling to control cell shape changes.

The phosphorylation of FLS2 may activate flg22-triggered immunity by facilitating the partitioning of FLS2 into functional AtRem1.3-associated nanodomains.

Heterotrimeric G proteins are coupled to and regulate plant receptor signaling, which allows optimum immune activation and enhances the production of reactive oxygen species.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligands exhibit different preferences for signaling cascades triggered through FGFR1, a receptor which is critical for skeletal development, and these differences likely contribute to the amazing complexity of developmental processes.

Although genetically and biochemically linked, the plant immune and growth receptors FLS2 and BRI1 form dispersed receptor clusters within the plasma membrane that are spatiotemporally separated.

Unloading the polymerase sliding clamp PCNA from DNA by Elg1 promotes recombination at the RTS1 replication fork barrier by limiting Fbh1 and Srs2 activity.

A new class of plasma membrane proteins involved in heme-iron utilization provides a molecular link between the extracellular and intracellular parts of the fungal heme acquisition pathway, and reveals the evolutionary origin of this pathway.
