Plant cell walls are dynamic structures that are synthesized by plants to provide durable
coverings for the delicate cells they encase. They are made of polysaccharides, proteins …

Proteins are workhorses in the cell; they form stable and more often dynamic, transient
protein–protein interactions, assemblies, and networks and have an intimate interplay with …

Proteins are intimately involved in executing and controlling virtually all cellular processes.
To understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie plant phenotypes, it is essential to …

Organelles of the plant cell cooperate to synthesize and secrete a strong yet flexible
polysaccharide-based extracellular matrix: the cell wall. Cell wall composition varies among …

In eukaryotes, clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) facilitate the internalization of material from
the cell surface as well as the movement of cargo in post-Golgi trafficking pathways. This …

In plants, the deoxy sugar l-rhamnose is widely present as rhamnose-containing polymers in
cell walls and as part of the decoration of various specialized metabolites. Here, we review …

The dynamics of cell wall polysaccharides may modulate the cell wall mechanics and thus
control the expansion growth of plant cells. The unique composition of type II primary cell …

Significance Statement In Arabidopsis, mutations in xyloglucan xylosyltransferases result in
the complete absence of this hemicellulose in the cell wall. Remarkably, the plant …

Recent breakthroughs in structural biology have provided valuable new insights into
enzymes involved in plant cell wall metabolism. More specifically, the molecular mechanism …

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes that catalyze reactions attaching an activated sugar
to an acceptor substrate, which may be a polysaccharide, peptide, lipid, or small molecule …
