Abstract:Hydroxyproline O-arabinosylation is a highly-conserved and plant-specific post-translational modification found on extensins and other structural proteins in the cell wall, and is catalyzed by Hydroxyproline O-arabinosyltransferases (HPATs). In Arabidopsis, loss of HPAT1 and HPAT3 (hpat1/3) causes reorganization of components in the pollen tube (PT) cell wall, which compromises cell wall structural integrity and decreases PT growth and fertility. We have previously shown that reduced secretion (caused by loss-… Show more
