TL;DR: The structure of a central component of the eukaryotic transcriptional apparatus, a TATA-box binding protein (TBP or TFIIDτ) from Arabidopsis thaliana, has been determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.6 Å resolution and contains a new DMA-binding fold, resembling a molecular 'saddle' that sits astride the DMA.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the DIM gene product plays a critical role in the general process of plant cell elongation, which is thought to be important for plant cell growth.

TL;DR: It is shown that the tandem RNA recognition motif domains of U2AF65 adopt two remarkably distinct domain arrangements in the absence or presence of a strong polypyrimidine tract, which involves a population shift between these closed and open conformations.

TL;DR: Data suggest that, in a multifaceted manner, MuRF1 participates in the regulation of AA metabolism, including the control of free AAs and their supply to other organs under catabolic conditions, and in theregulation of ATP synthesis under metabolic-stress conditions where Mu RF1 expression is induced.

TL;DR: It is found that TFIID from Arabidopsis and other organisms shows homology to helix-loop-helix proteins, which is similar to that shown in yeast, humans and plants.
