Cellulose synthesis in higher plants.
Cellulose microfibrils play essential roles in the organization of plant cell walls, thereby allowing a growth habit based on turgor. The fibrils are made by 30 nm diameter plasma membrane complexes composed of approximately 36 subunits representing at least three types of related CESA proteins. The complexes assemble in the Golgi, where they are inactive, and move to the plasma membrane, where...
متن کاملPantothenate biosynthesis in higher plants.
Pantothenate (vitamin B5) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the synthesis of CoA and ACP (acyl-carrier protein, cofactors in energy yielding reactions including carbohydrate metabolism and fatty acid synthesis. Pantothenate is synthesized de novo by plants and micro-organisms; however, animals obtain the vitamin through their diet. Utilizing our knowledge of the pathway in Escherichia co...
متن کاملCellulose Biosynthesis in Higher Plants and the Role of the Cytoskeleton
Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of b (1!4) linked D-glucose and it is the most abundant polymer on earth. As a major structural component of the cell wall, cellulose accounts for about one-third of plant mass. The regulation of cellulose biosynthesis is essential to plant development. Cellulose is synthesised by the cellulose synthase (CESA) complex in the plasma memb...
متن کاملThe biosynthesis of sterols in higher plants.
1. [2-(14)C]Mevalonate was incorporated into squalene and the major phytosterols of pea and maize leaves; it was also incorporated into compounds belonging to the 4,4-dimethyl and 4alpha-methyl steroid groups and which may be possible phytosterol intermediates. 2. l-[Me-(14)C]Methionine was incorporated into the major sterols and also into the 4,4-dimethyl and 4alpha-methyl steroid groups. No r...
متن کاملTetrahydrofolate biosynthesis and distribution in higher plants.
One-carbon transfer reactions are mediated by H4F (tetrahydrofolate), a soluble coenzyme (vitamin B9) that is synthesized de novo by plants and microorganisms, and absorbed from the diet by animals. H4F synthesis in plants is quartered between the plastids, the cytosol and the mitochondria, a spatial distribution that is not observed in the other organisms and that suggests a complex intracellu...
