This ARC contains high-quality, chromosome-level genome assemblies for nine Thai cultivars of cassava (Manihot esculenta) and one wild relative, Manihot glaziovii. Generated as part of the CASSAVASTORE project, this resource was created to address the limited availability of genomic resources for diverse cassava ecotypes from Thailand.

However, the molecular mechanism linking mRNAs to the endosomal surface remains poorly understood. Here, we present a structural analysis of the key RNA-binding protein Rrm4 from Ustilago maydis. Our findings reveal a different type of MademoiseLLE domain (MLLE) featuring a seven-helical bundle that provides a distinct binding interface. A comparative analysis with the canonical MademoiseLLE domain of the poly(A)-binding protein Pab1 disclosed unique characteristics of both domains. Deciphering the MLLE binding code enabled prediction and verification of previously unknown Rrm4 interactors containing short linear motifs. Importantly, we demonstrated that the human MLLE domains, such as those of PABPC1 and UBR5, employed a similar principle to distinguish among interaction partners. Thus, our study provides detailed mechanistic insights into how structural variations in the widely distributed MLLE domain facilitate mRNA attachment during endosomal transport.

Co-action of COP1, SPA and cryptochrome in light signal transduction and photomorphogenesis of the moss Physcomitrium patens
The Arabidopsis COP1/SPA ubiquitin ligase suppresses photomorphogenesis in darkness. In the light, photoreceptors inactivate COP1/SPA to allow a light response. While SPA genes are specific to the green lineage, COP1 also exists in humans. This raises the question of when in evolution plant COP1 acquired the need for SPA accessory proteins. We addressed this question by generating Physcomitrium Ppcop1 mutants and comparing their visible and molecular phenotypes with those of Physcomitrium Ppspa mutants. The phenotype of Ppcop1 nonuple mutants resembles that of Ppspa mutants. Most importantly, both mutants produce green chloroplasts in complete darkness. They also exhibit dwarfed gametophores, disturbed branching of protonemata and absent gravitropism. RNA-sequencing analysis indicates that both mutants undergo weak constitutive light signaling in darkness. PpCOP1 and PpSPA proteins form a complex and they interact via their WD repeat domains with the VP motif of the cryptochrome CCE domain in a blue light-dependent manner. This resembles the interaction of Arabidopsis SPA proteins with Arabidopsis CRY1, and is different from that with Arabidopsis CRY2. Taken together, the data indicate that PpCOP1 and PpSPA act together to regulate growth and development of Physcomitrium. However, in contrast to their Arabidopsis orthologs, PpCOP1 and PpSPA proteins execute only partial suppression of light signaling in darkness. Hence, additional repressors may exist that contribute to the repression of a light response in dark-exposed Physcomitrium.
