Temporal cell wall changes during cold acclimation and deacclimation and their potential involvement in freezing tolerance and growth

Tatsuya Kutsuno et al.

Summary: Plants adapt to freezing stress through cold acclimation and deacclimation, which are regulated by changes in cell wall structure and monosaccharide composition. The balance between freezing tolerance and growth is crucial for plant development in changing environments. Arabinogalactan proteins and pectic galactan play important roles in freezing tolerance and growth, while arabinan and xyloglucan stabilize at cold acclimation levels during deacclimation.

Broad Specific Xyloglucan:Xyloglucosyl Transferases Are Formidable Players in the Re-Modelling of Plant Cell Wall Structures

Maria Hrmova et al.

Summary: Plant xyloglucan:xyloglucosyl transferases (XETs) play crucial roles in plant cell wall dynamics and mechanics. XET enzymes catalyze transglycosylation reactions and are involved in cell wall assembly and modifications. Studying plant XETs can help to understand the structure and function of cell walls.

Identification and expression analysis of xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)

Tian Qiao et al.

Summary: This study identified 34 members of the XTH family in grapevine and classified them into three groups through phylogenetic analysis. The transcription levels of 14 selected VvXTHs were examined under drought and salt stress, revealing significant changes and indicating the potential role of VvXTHs in grapevine's response to these abiotic stresses.

Definition of the Acceptor Substrate Binding Specificity in Plant Xyloglucan Endotransglycosylases Using Computational Chemistry

Barbora Stratilova et al.

Summary: In this study, the basis of acceptor substrate binding specificity in Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XETs) was investigated using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The research found that the linear acceptors with specific types of glycosidic linkages were stably bound in the active sites of certain XETs, while acceptors with different glycosidic linkages showed different binding stability. This study provides insights into the differences in acceptor binding specificity between different types of XETs.

Enzymatic characterization of ancestral/group-IV clade xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase enzymes reveals broad substrate specificities

Merve Seven et al.

Summary: Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) enzymes have been found to exhibit broad substrate specificities, including cellulose analogues and mixed-link beta-glucans, in addition to the standard xyloglucan. This discovery opens up a wide range of potential roles for these enzymes, both within plants and in various industries. Furthermore, genome screening and expression analyses suggest that the XTH genes in the "ancestral" clades are unique to angiosperms, predominantly expressed in reproductive tissues, leading to the proposal of renaming this phylogenetic group as the group-IV clade.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.

Cryogenian Origin and Subsequent Diversification of the Plant Cell-Wall Enzyme XTH Family

Naoki Shinohara et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the non-plant origin of the XTH family is from ExoKs in Alphaproteobacteria, not licheninases in Firmicutes as previously believed, with the relevant HGT event traced back to the Cryogenian geological period, supporting the adaptation of plants and fungi to the ancient icy environment.
