Interface Alterations in Cellulose Synthases Redefine CESA Complex Assembly to Enhance Cellulosic Biomass Production

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2025.
We analyze sequence‐structure–function relationships, particularly interface mutations, in cellulose synthase (CESA) complexes (CSCs), which evolved from homomeric to heteromeric forms in seed plants. Heterologous expression of an evolutionarily divergent CESA minimizes interference with endogenous CSCs, promoting homomeric CSC formation and enhanced ...

The tight skin mouse: demonstration of mutant fibrillin-1 production and assembly into abnormal microfibrils [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Mice carrying the Tight skin (Tsk) mutation harbor a genomic duplication within the fibrillin-1 (Fbn 1) gene that results in a larger than normal in-frame Fbn 1 transcript.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 22, June 5, 2025.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Brittle Culm1, a COBRA-Like Protein, Functions in Cellulose Assembly through Binding Cellulose Microfibrils

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Cellulose represents the most abundant biopolymer in nature and has great economic importance. Cellulose chains pack laterally into crystalline forms, stacking into a complicated crystallographic structure.

SciAgents: Automating Scientific Discovery Through Bioinspired Multi‐Agent Intelligent Graph Reasoning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 22, June 5, 2025.
The SciAgents AI model drives hypothesis generation by harnessing multi‐agent graph reasoning, extracting insights from knowledge graphs constructed from scientific papers. Each agent plays a specific role: the Ontologist defines concepts, the Scientists draft and refine proposals, and the Critic reviews.

Complex contributions of fibronectin to initiation and maturation of microfibrils.

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2013
Fibrillins constitute the backbone of extracellular multifunctional assemblies present in elastic and non-elastic matrices, termed microfibrils. Assembly of fibrillins into microfibrils and their homoeostasis is poorly understood and is often compromised
