A Novel Rice Xylosyltransferase Catalyzes the Addition of 2-O-Xylosyl Side Chains onto the Xylan Backbone.

Abstract excerpt

Xylan is a major hemicellulose in both primary and secondary walls of grass species. It consists of a linear backbone of β-1,4-linked xylosyl residues that are often substituted with monosaccharides and disaccharides. Xylosyl substitutions directly on the xylan backbone have not been reported in grass species, and genes responsible for xylan substitutions in grass species have not been well elucidated. Here, we...
