Background Extensin deposition is considered important for the correct assembly and biophysical properties of primary cell walls, with consequences to plant resistance to pathogens, tissue morphology, cell adhesion and extension growth. However, evidence

Proline-rich Extensin-like Receptor Kinases PERK5 and PERK12 are involved in Pollen Tube Growth
Background Cell wall integrity plays an essential role during polarized cell growth typical of pollen tubes and root hairs. Proline-rich Extensin-like Receptor Kinases (PERK) belong to the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) superfamily of cell ...

Cell wall O-glycoproteins and N-glycoproteins: biosynthesis and some functional aspects.
Cell wall O-glycoproteins and N-glycoproteins are two types of glycomolecules whose glycans are structurally complex. They are both assembled and modified within the endomembrane system, i.e., the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus ...

Isolation and Characterization of Three Soybean Extensin cDNAs [PDF]
We have characterized three different soybean (Glycine max) mRNAs that encode apoproteins of extensins, a family of cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs). These transcripts encoded distinctive Tyr-rich proteins containing characteristic Ser-Pro4 sequences organized in higher-order repetitive units. The first transcript encoded an extensin

Investigations into the molecular size and shape of tomato extensin [PDF]
The molecular characteristics of soluble extensin from tomato have been investigated. An apparent molecular mass greater than 240 kDa has been previously observed with the shape-dependent method of gel-filtration chromatography [Brownleader and Dey (1993) Planta (Berlin) 191, 457–469].

The reinforcement of potato cell wall as part of the phosphite-induced tolerance to UV-B radiation
Phosphites (Phis), inorganic salts of phosphorous acid, have shown to be effective in protection of plants against biotic stress. Recently, we have described that potassium phosphite (KPhi) induces tolerance to UV-B radiation in potato. To counteract the

Diamine oxidase (DAO) might influence pea nodule development either by regulating the peroxide-driven cross-linking of glycoproteins in the infection thread matrix or by modifying the metabolism of diamines and polyamines in host cells. Transformed lines

The Role of Carbohydrate in Maintaining Extensin in an Extended Conformation [PDF]
Monomers of the plant cell wall glycoprotein extensin are secreted into the wall where they become cross-linked to each other to form a rigid matrix. Expression of the extensin matrix is correlated with the inhibition of further cell elongation during normal development, with increased resistance to virulent pathogens and with other physiological ...
