Plants produce two flavonoid O-pentoses, flavonoid O-xyloside and flavonoid O-arabinoside. However, analyzing their biological properties is difficult because flavonoids are not naturally produced in sufficient quantities. In this study, Escherichia coli was used to synthesize the plant-specific
Linear hydroxyproline-bound O-glycans of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were isolated from outer cell wall glycoproteins and their structure elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods. They consist exclusively of arabinose and galactose, the latter in the furanose form,
Hydroxyproline O-arabinosyltransferases (HPATs) are members of a small, deeply conserved family of plant-specific glycosyltransferases that add arabinose sugars to diverse proteins including cell wall-associated extensins and small signaling peptides. Recent genetic studies in flowering plants
To complete the metabolic map for an entire class of compounds, it is essential to identify gene-metabolite correlations of a metabolic pathway. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify the flavonoids produced by Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type and flavonoid biosynthetic
AtAGP17, AtAGP18 and AtAGP19 are homologous genes encoding three putative glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored classical arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) in Arabidopsis. They are distinguished from other AGPs by a short, C-terminal lysine-rich region. Organ-specific expression of these genes
Most aspects of plant growth involve cell surface hydroxyproline (Hyp)-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) whose properties depend on arabinogalactan polysaccharides and arabinosides that define the molecular surface. Potential glycosylation sites are defined by an O-Hyp glycosylation code: contiguous Hyp
Glycosylation is the most abundant and complex posttranslational modification to be considered for recombinant production of therapeutic proteins. Mucin-type (N-acetylgalactosamine [GalNAc]-type) O-glycosylation is found in eumetazoan cells but absent in plants and yeast, making these cell types an
