The paper identifies the genetic basis of xylan side chain variability in plants and shows how pathogens adapt to degrade these structures, revealing evolutionary adaptations in both biosynthesis and degradation.

The paper identifies enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and degradation of β-xylosylated xyloglucan and shows their potential role in gut bacterial nutrition.

The paper predicts structures for 73 caveolins across animal diversity and identifies conserved structural elements and amphipathic disc assembly, revealing an ancient structural framework predating Metazoa.

The paper shows that β-galactoglucomannan (β-GGM) in eudicot primary cell walls is structurally and functionally similar to xyloglucan (XyG).
