Hemicellulose is entangled with cellulose through hydrogen bonds and meanwhile acts as a
bridge for the deposition of lignin monomer in the secondary wall. Therefore, hemicellulose …

Due to the presence of plastids, eukaryotic photosynthetic cells represent the most highly
compartmentalized eukaryotic cells. This high degree of compartmentation requires the …

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall that plays a key role in plant growth, structural
integrity, and defense. The cell wall is a complex and diverse structure that is mainly …

The Arabidopsis thaliana protein GOLGI-LOCALIZED NUCLEOTIDE SUGAR
TRANSPORTER (GONST1) has been previously identified as a GDP-d-mannose …

Insertion mutations that disrupt the function of PHT4; 6 (At5g44370) cause NaCl
hypersensitivity of Arabidopsis seedlings that is characterized by reduced growth of the …

UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) is the precursor of many plant cell wall polysaccharides
and is required for production of seed mucilage. Following synthesis in the cytosol, it is …

Most glycosylation reactions require activated glycosyl donors in the form of nucleotide
sugars to drive processes such as posttranslational modifications and polysaccharide …

Golgi-localized nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs) are considered essential for the
biosynthesis of wall polysaccharides and glycoproteins based on their characteristic …

The glycosylation of glycoconjugates and the biosynthesis of polysaccharides depend on
nucleotide-sugars which are the substrates for glycosyltransferases. A large proportion of …

Glycoproteins and glycolipids are crucial in a number of cellular processes, such as growth,
development, and responses to external cues, among others. Polysaccharides, another …
