The functionality of plant mechanoproteins (forisomes) is dependent on the dual role of conserved cysteine residues

The functionality of plant mechanoproteins (forisomes) is dependent on the dual role of conserved cysteine residues

Forisomes are giant polyprotein complexes that undergo reversible conformational rearrangements from a spindle-like to a plug-like state in response to Ca2+ or changes in pH. They act as valves in the plant vasculature, and reproduce this function in vitro to regulate flow in microfluidic capillarie...
