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).

By: J. Burris  n, M. Makarem *, E. Slabaugh n, A. Chaves *, E. Pierce n, J. Lee *, S. Kiemle *, A. Kwansa n ...

author keywords: AtCesA7; cellulose synthesis complex; genetic complementation; irx3-1 mutant; PpCesA5; protein engineering; sum frequency generation spectroscopy
TL;DR: The cumulative results show that the FTVTxK region is important for the function of an angiosperm secondary wall CesA as well as widely divergent primary wall CesAs, while differences in complementation results between isomers may reflect functional differences that can be explored in further work.
