Cell Wall Integrity Controls Expression of Endoxyloglucan Transferase in Tobacco BY2 Cells [PDF]
Plant cells can monitor alternations in cell wall architecture. Treatment of tobacco BY2 cells with a cellulase or cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor significantly decreased the mRNA of endoxyloglucan transferase (EXGT). Our results indicated the importance of another gene(s) induced by cell wall defects for the decrease in EXGT mRNA.

Cracking the green wall code: insights into cell wall integrity across organisms
Cell walls are not just passive barriers; they are dynamic and adaptable structures that are actively remodeled in response to both internal and external cues. They are crucial in defining cellular identity, ensuring structural integrity, and mediating interactions with the environment.

A widespread family of bacterial cell wall assembly proteins [PDF]
Teichoic acids and acidic capsular polysaccharides are major anionic cell wall polymers (APs) in many bacteria, with various critical cell functions, including maintenance of cell shape and structural integrity, charge and cation homeostasis, and ...

Outside‐in control – does plant cell wall integrity regulate cell cycle progression? [PDF]
During recent years it has become accepted that plant cell walls are not inert objects surrounding all plant cells but are instead highly dynamic, plastic structures. They are involved in a large number of cell biological processes and contribute actively to plant growth, development and interaction with environment.

Plant cell wall integrity maintenance as an essential component of biotic stress response mechanisms
Plant cell walls provide structural support during development and represent the first line of defense against biotic and abiotic stress. In recent years evidence has accumulated that a dedicated plant cell wall integrity maintenance mechanism exists ...

Bacterial Cell Wall Quality Control during Environmental Stress
Single-celled organisms must adapt their physiology to persist and propagate across a wide range of environmental conditions. The growth and division of bacterial cells depend on continuous synthesis of an essential extracellular barrier: the ...

Nuclear proteome response to cell wall removal in rice (Oryza sativa) [PDF]
Plant cells are routinely exposed to various pathogens and environmental stresses that cause cell wall perturbations. Little is known of the mechanisms that plant cells use to sense these disturbances and transduce corresponding signals to regulate ...

Regulation of Cell Wall Biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: The Cell Wall Integrity Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Abstract The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle. During growth and morphogenesis, and in response to environmental challenges, the cell wall is remodeled in a highly regulated and polarized manner ...
