Flexibility of cell walls is crucial to accommodate elongation and growth, typically associated with the reorganization wall polysaccharides. Seed germination a fast-paced developmental process in which adaptability highly required. The plant utilizes multiple strategies obtain flexible part relies on wall-active enzymes loosen both covalent non-covalent interactions between OsAPSE an example enzyme originating from Japanese rice ( Oryza sativa subsp. Japonica) belonging glycoside hydrolase...
Abstract Fructan metabolism in bacteria and plants relies on fructosyltransferases fructanases. Plant fructanases (fructan exohydrolase, FEH) only hydrolyse terminal fructose residues. Levan (β-2,6 linkages) is the most abundant fructan type bacteria. Dicot accumulators, such as chicory (Cichorium intybus), accumulate inulin (β-2,1 linkages), harbouring several 1-FEH isoforms for their degradation. Here, a novel fructanase with high affinity levan was characterized, providing evidence that...
Stress granules are cytoplasmic compartments, which serve as mRNA storage units during stress, therefore regulating translation. The Arabidopsis thaliana lectin ArathEULS3 has been widely described a stress inducible gene. This study aimed to examine in detail the localization of normal and stressed cells. Colocalization experiments revealed that nucleo-cytoplasmic relocates after stress. sequence encodes protein with EUL domain an N-terminal unknown structure function. Bioinformatics...
Abstract Background The CBM13 family comprises carbohydrate-binding modules that occur mainly in enzymes and several ricin-B lectins. lectin domain resembles the module to a large extent. Historically, lectins proteins were considered completely distinct, despite their structural functional similarities. Results In this data mining study, we investigate similarities of these intertwined protein groups. Because high similarities, differences nomenclature usage databases, confusion can arise....
