High impact information on SOS5

  • The SOS5 protein was present at the outer surface of the plasma membrane [1].
  • The presence of fasciclin-like domains, which typically are found in animal cell adhesion proteins, suggests a role for SOS5 in cell-to-cell adhesion in plants [1].
  • The predicted SOS5 protein contains an N-terminal signal sequence for plasma membrane localization, two arabinogalactan protein-like domains, two fasciclin-like domains, and a C-terminal glycosylphosphatidylinositol lipid anchor signal sequence [1].
  • The cell walls are thinner in the sos5 mutant, and those between neighboring epidermal and cortical cells in sos5 roots appear less organized [1].
