Coordination of the events between cytoplasm and cell wall is necessary for the proper cellular activity of plants. Cell wall-associated receptor kinases are likely to play the interface for the extra-to-internal signaling process. Arabidopsis ROOT HAIR SPECIFIC 10 (RHS10), belonging to the proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinase (PERK) family, is a Ser/Thr protein kinase with arabinogalactan protein (AGP) motifs in its extracellular domain (ECD). RHS10 and other angiosperm PERK homologs are inhibitory in root hair tip growth. The ECD deletion analysis of RHS10 indicates that proline residues, including AGP motifs, in the ECD are required for the root hair inhibition. The kinase domain of RHS10 physically interacts with an RNase (RNS2), and both RHS10 and RNS2 show the consistent genetic interaction in terms of root hair phenotype and root RNA levels. The root hair-inhibitory function of the cell wall-associated receptor kinase RHS10 may provide a negative feedback tool between cell wall and cytoplasm for the determination of proper length of the root hair.

Eight active canonical members of the pancreatic-like ribonuclease A (RNase A) superfamily have been identified in human. All structural homologs share similar RNA-degrading functions, while also cumulating other various biological activities in different tissues. The functional homologs eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN, or RNase 2) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP, or RNase 3) are known to be expressed and secreted by eosinophils in response to infection, and have thus been postulated to play an important role in host defense and inflammatory response. We recently initiated the biophysical and dynamical investigation of several vertebrate RNase homologs and observed that clustering residue dynamics appear to be linked with the phylogeny and biological specificity of several members. Here we report the ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N backbone resonance assignments of human EDN (RNase 2) and its molecular dynamics simulation on the microsecond timescale, providing means to pursue this comparative atomic-scale functional and dynamical analysis by NMR and computation over multiple time frames.

Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis in all organisms and their biogenesis and number are tightly controlled to maintain homeostasis in changing environmental conditions. While ribosome assembly and quality control mechanisms have been extensively studied, our understanding of ribosome degradation is limited. In yeast or animal cells, ribosomes are degraded after transfer into the vacuole or lysosome by ribophagy or nonselective autophagy, and ribosomal RNA can also be transferred directly across the lysosomal membrane by RNautophagy. In plants, ribosomal RNA is degraded by the vacuolar T2 ribonuclease RNS2 after transport by autophagy-related mechanisms, although it is unknown if a selective ribophagy pathway exists in plants. In this review, we describe mechanisms of turnover of ribosomal components in animals and yeast, and, then, discuss potential pathways for degradation of ribosomal RNA and protein within the vacuole in plants.
