BRX mediates feedback between brassinosteroid levels and auxin signaling in root growth
Article Abstract:
The BREVIS RADIX (BRX)-GFP fusion proteins were expressed under the control of heterologous promoters in [brx.sup.S] seedlings to determine where BRX expression was required for seed growth. Results reveal that brassinoid biosynthesis and auxin signaling are connected through a feedback loop, which involves BRX and is required for optimal growth, both embryonically and post-embryonically.

Insight into steroid scaffold formation from the structure of human oxidosqualene cyclase
Article Abstract:
The formation of steroid scaffold in higher organisms is catalyzed exclusively by the membrane-bound oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC). In a highly sensitive cyclization reaction OSC forms ianosterol with seven chiral centres starting from the linear substrate 2,3-oxidoscalene.
