. In contrast to the protein composition of ECM in animals, the ECM in plants is predominantly represented by a cell wall, consisting ofpolysaccharides, includingcellulose,hemicellulose, and pectins, resistant to crosslinking and stiffness with age, as well as structuralglycoproteinsand lignin (Za...
mostly due to mutations in genes encoding crystallins although there are forms caused variously by mutation in genes for heat-shock transcription factor-4, phakinin, SLC16A12 solute-carrier, the alpha-8 subunit of the gap junction protein, maf, chromatin-modifying protein 4B, the PITX3 homeobox...
bundle were reduced; lignin synthesis and deposition (key processes in cell differentiation and secondary cell wall thickening) were considerably delayed, and the numbers of lignified cells were substantially reduced in the interfascicular fibres and xylem bundles of the mutant plants (Fig. 1i–l)....
Our results suggest that OsBBI1 modulates broad-spectrum resistance to blast fungus by modifying cell wall defence responses. The functional characterization of OsBBI1 provides insight into the E3 ligase-mediated in- nate immunity, and a practical tool for constructing broad-spectrum resistance against...

(http://www.lcced.uni-stuttgart.de/). Most of the characterized laccases originating from fungi contribute to the degradation of lignins, whereas laccases derived from plants are mainly related to lignin and cell wall biosynthesis (Mayer and Staples2002; Singh Arora and Kumar Sharma2010). ...
wall and identified it as a glycine-rich protein (GRP). This GRP, as well as its minimal peptide epitope Crip21, serve as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern and specifically bind and activate a membrane-bound immune receptor of tomato, the Cuscuta Receptor 1 (CuRe1), leading to defense...
A circular dichroic spectrometer (Jasco-810, Jasco, Tokyo, Japan) was used to scan the ultrasonicated LP solutions in the wavelength range of 190–260 nm at 298 K by slightly modifying the method described by Yan et al. (2021) (Parameter setting: path length, 1 mm; scanning rate, 100 ...
Due to their ease of use and water compatibility, PEMUs have been investigated as surface-modifying agents for protein interactions. See Müller, M.; Rieser, T.; Köthe, M.; Kessler, B.; Brissova, M.; Lunkwitz, K. Macromol. Symp. 1999, 145, 149-159, Müller, M.; Brissova, M...
For example, the various genes encoding enzymes needed for the degradation of plant cell wall material (i.e., cellulases/hemicellulases) are “activated” in the presence of an “inducing” substrate and “repressed” in the presence of easily metabolized carbon sources (e.g., D-glucose) ...
