Pectin methylesterification modulates cell wall properties to promote neighbour proximity-induced hypocotyl growth

The study shows that pectin methylesterification modulates cell wall properties to enable neighbor proximity-induced hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis.

The structural, dynamical and biochemical characterizations of Verticillium dahliae pectate lyase, VdPelB, highlight its specificities

This study characterizes VdPelB, a pectate lyase from Verticillium dahliae, revealing its structural, dynamic, and biochemical properties and substrate specificity.

Differences in the structure of plant polygalacturonases specify enzymes dynamics and processivities to fine-tune cell wall pectins

This study reports the crystal structures of two Arabidopsis polygalacturonases, showing structural differences that lead to distinct enzyme dynamics and processivities, impacting root development.

Biochemical characterization of Pectin Methylesterase Inhibitor 3 from Arabidopsis thaliana

This paper characterizes the biochemical activity of Arabidopsis thaliana PMEI3, showing its pH-dependent inhibition of PME activity and its effect on cell expansion.

Pectin remodeling belongs to a homeostatic system and triggers transcriptomic and hormonal modulations

The paper investigates how pectin methylesterification status affects seed-to-seedling transition by altering transcriptomic and hormonal profiles in Arabidopsis.
