Dear all, Many people know much more about the plant hormone auxin than I do, but I believe I am right in saying that, despite Romana Gáborová's current PDBe highlight on auxin binding protein 1 (ABP1) at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/about/news/growth, there is currently no valid evidence that ABP1 has any physiological function whatsoever (see in particular Gao et al. 2015, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1500365112). The structure of the known auxin receptor TIR1 (Tan et al. 2007, DOI: 10.1038/nature05731<https://doi.org/10.1038/nature05731>) is much more interesting anyhow! Best, jon
