  bibo_abstract:
  - Plasmodesmata (PD) are crucial structures for intercellular communication in multicellular
    plants with remorins being their crucial plant-specific structural and functional
    constituents. The PD biogenesis is an intriguing but poorly understood process.
    By expressing an Arabidopsis remorin protein in mammalian cells, we have reconstituted
    a PD-like filamentous structure, termed remorin filament (RF), connecting neighboring
    cells physically and physiologically. Notably, RFs are capable of transporting
    macromolecules intercellularly, in a way similar to plant PD. With further super-resolution
    microscopic analysis and biochemical characterization, we found that RFs are also
    composed of actin filaments, forming the core skeleton structure, aligned with
    the remorin protein. This unique heterologous filamentous structure might explain
    the molecular mechanism for remorin function as well as PD construction. Furthermore,
    remorin protein exhibits a specific distribution manner in the plasma membrane
    in mammalian cells, representing a lipid nanodomain, depending on its lipid modification
    status. Our studies not only provide crucial insights into the mechanism of PD
    biogenesis, but also uncovers unsuspected fundamental mechanistic and evolutionary
    links between intercellular communication systems of plants and animals.@eng
