The trafficking of the cellulose synthase complex in higher plants.
BACKGROUND Cellulose is an important constituent of plant cell walls in a biological context, and is also a material commonly utilized by mankind in the pulp and paper, timber, textile and biofuel industries. The biosynthesis of cellulose in higher plants is a function of the cellulose synthase complex (CSC). The CSC, a large transmembrane complex containing multiple cellulose synthase proteins...
متن کاملRegulated trafficking of cellulose synthases.
New findings reveal that proteins involved in cellulose biosynthesis undergo regulated trafficking between intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. The coordinated secretion and internalization of these proteins involve both the actin and cortical microtubule cytoskeletons. This regulated trafficking allows the dynamic remodeling of cellulose synthase complex (CSC) secretion during c...
متن کاملUpdate on Cellulose Synthase Trafficking Trafficking of the Plant Cellulose Synthase Complex
Cellulose is the most abundant component of plant cell walls and its importance is well documented. In the primary cell wall it forms part of the load-bearing network that both controls and maintains cell shape, while allowing regulated cell expansion that is essential during growth. Cellulose is also the major component of secondary cell walls where it is required for mechanical strength for t...
متن کاملTrafficking of the cellulose synthase complex in developing xylem vessels.
The potential for using cellulosic biomass as a source of fuel has renewed interest into how the large cellulose synthase complex deposits cellulose within the woody secondary walls of plants. This complex sits within the plasma membrane where it synthesizes numerous glucan chains which bond together to form the strong cellulose microfibril. The maintenance and guidance of the complex at the pl...
متن کاملGolgi-localized STELLO proteins regulate the assembly and trafficking of cellulose synthase complexes in Arabidopsis
As the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, cellulose is a key structural component of the plant cell wall. Cellulose is produced at the plasma membrane by cellulose synthase (CesA) complexes (CSCs), which are assembled in the endomembrane system and trafficked to the plasma membrane. While several proteins that affect CesA activity have been identified, components that regulate CSC assembly and ...
