Characterization of synthetic hydroxyproline-rich proteoglycans with arabinogalactan protein and extensin motifs in Arabidopsis.
A series of gene constructs encoding synthetic glycomodule peptides with N-terminal signal sequences and C-terminal green fluorescent proteins were expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) under the control of the 35S promoter. The synthetic glycomodule peptides were composed of repetitive proline-containing motifs that have been previously found to be substrates for prolyl hy...
متن کاملExtensin and Arabinogalactan-Protein Biosynthesis: Glycosyltransferases, Research Challenges, and Biosensors
Recent research, mostly in Arabidopsis thaliana, has led to the identification and characterization of the glycosyltransferases responsible for the biosynthesis of two of the most functionally important and abundant families of plant cell wall proteins, extensins, and arabinogalactan-proteins. Extensin glycosylation involves monogalactosylation of serine residues by O-α-serine galactosyltransfe...
متن کاملIncreased extensin levels in Arabidopsis affect inflorescence stem thickening and height.
Extensins are hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins which are abundant in the cell walls of higher plants and whose precise function has been the subject of much speculation. In order to investigate this, transgenic A. thaliana plants were generated containing the Arabidopsis Atext1 extensin coding sequence under the transcriptional control of the strong constitutive CaMV 35S promoter. Northern ana...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of in vitro galactosyltransferase activities involved in arabinogalactan-protein glycosylation in tobacco and Arabidopsis.
Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are highly glycosylated hydroxyproline (Hyp)-rich glycoproteins that are frequently characterized by the presence of [Alanine-Hyp] ([AO]) repetitive units. AGP galactosyltransferase (GalT) activities in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) microsomal membranes were studied here with an in vitro GalT reaction system, which used accept...
متن کاملA bioinformatics approach to the identification, classification, and analysis of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins.
Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) are a superfamily of plant cell wall proteins that function in diverse aspects of plant growth and development. This superfamily consists of three members: hyperglycosylated arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), moderately glycosylated extensins (EXTs), and lightly glycosylated proline-rich proteins (PRPs). Hybrid and chimeric versions of HRGP molecules also...
