Journal ArticleDOI
Folding of xylan onto cellulose fibrils in plant cell walls revealed by solid-state NMR
Thomas J. Simmons,Jenny C. Mortimer,Oigres Daniel Bernardinelli,Ann-Christin Pöppler,Steven P. Brown,Eduardo R. deAzevedo,Ray Dupree,Paul Dupree +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the majority of xylan flattens into a twofold helical screw ribbon to bind intimately to cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall, providing new principles to understand biomass properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eudicot plant-specific sphingolipids determine host selectivity of microbial NLP cytolysins
Tea Lenarčič,Isabell Albert,Hannah Böhm,Vesna Hodnik,Katja Pirc,Apolonija Bedina Zavec,Marjetka Podobnik,David Pahovnik,Ema Žagar,Rory N Pruitt,Peter Greimel,Akiko Yamaji-Hasegawa,Toshihide Kobayashi,Agnieszka Zienkiewicz,Jasmin Gömann,Jenny C. Mortimer,Jenny C. Mortimer,Lin Fang,Lin Fang,Adiilah Mamode-Cassim,Magali Deleu,Laurence Lins,Claudia Oecking,Ivo Feussner,Sébastien Mongrand,Gregor Anderluh,Thorsten Nürnberger +26 more
TL;DR: Early steps in NLP cytolysin action that determine plant clade-specific toxin selectivity are unveiled, and it is revealed that NLPs form complexes with terminal monomeric hexose moieties of GIPCs that result in conformational changes within the toxin.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of Striga asiatica is reported with 34,577 predicted protein-coding genes, which reflects gene family contractions and expansions that are consistent with a three-phase model of parasitic plant genome evolution, and genes involved in lateral root development in non-parasitic model species are coordinately induced during haustorium development in Striga.
Journal ArticleDOI
Golgi-localized STELLO proteins regulate the assembly and trafficking of cellulose synthase complexes in Arabidopsis
Yi Zhang,Nino Nikolovski,Mathias Sorieul,Tamara Vellosillo,Heather E. McFarlane,Ray Dupree,Christopher Kesten,René Schneider,Carlos Driemeier,Rahul Lathe,Edwin R. Lampugnani,Xiaolan Yu,Alexander Ivakov,Monika S. Doblin,Jenny C. Mortimer,Steven P. Brown,Staffan Persson,Paul Dupree +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that STELLO1 and 2 are Golgi-localized proteins that can interact with cellulose synthase (CesA) complexes and control cellulose quantity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approaches for More Efficient Biological Conversion of Lignocellulosic Feedstocks to Biofuels and Bioproducts
Nawa Raj Baral,Eric R. Sundstrom,Lalitendu Das,John M. Gladden,Aymerick Eudes,Jenny C. Mortimer,Steven W. Singer,Aindrila Mukhopadhyay,Corinne D. Scown +8 more
TL;DR: This Perspective surveys recent advancements in bioenergy crop engineering, lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction and fractionation, catabolism of biomass-derived sugars and aromatics, and biological conversion to fuels and products.
