BIG3 and BIG5 Redundantly Mediate Vesicle Trafficking in <i>Arabidopsis</i> by Yiping Suo, Fenhong Hu, Haojie Zhu, Di Li, Rui Qi, Jirong Huang, Wenjuan Wu

“…However, evidence is increasing to suggest that BIG5 can function redundantly with BIG1-BIG4 to regulate vesicular trafficking in response to various intra- and extra-cellular stimuli. In this study, our genetic analysis showed that BIG5 played an overlapping role at least with BIG3 in cell proliferation. …”
