Evidence for Plant-Conserved Region Mediated Trimeric CESAs in Plant Cellulose Synthase Complexes br
Du, J., Vandavasi, V. G., Molloy, K. R., Yang, H., Massenburg, L. N., Singh, A., … Nixon, B. T. (2022, August 10). BIOMACROMOLECULES, Vol. 8.
MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins; Cell Wall; Cellulose; Glucosyltransferases / chemistry; Glucosyltransferases / genetics
TL;DR:
Inter-subunit lysine-crosslinks that localize to the small P-CR, negative-stain EM structure, and modeling data for homotrimers of AtCESA1CatD suggest that homomeric CESA trimers may be important for the synthesis of primary and secondary cell walls and identify key residues for future mutagenic studies.

Phenotypic effects of changes in the FTVTxK region of an Arabidopsis secondary wall cellulose synthase compared with results from analogous mutations in other isoforms
PLANT DIRECT, 5(8).
author keywords: AtCesA7; cellulose synthesis complex; genetic complementation; irx3-1 mutant; PpCesA5; protein engineering; sum frequency generation spectroscopy

Weakly Ionically Bound Thermosensitive Hyperbranched Polymers
LANGMUIR, 37(9), 2913–2927.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that, in contrast to traditional branched polymers, ionically linked PNIPAM macrocations can reversibly disassociate from the sulfonate groups and form mobile coronas, endowing the dynamic micellar morphologies.
