Carver Dep artment of Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Molecular Biology and Director of th e Interdepartmental Plant Biology graduate program at Iowa State University .\n\n \n\nAbstract: As the abundant and major hemicellulose in plant cell w alls\, Xyloglucan directly affects the cell wall mechanical strength\, cell expansion\, and ability to respond to environmental stresses. During xylog lucan biosynthesis\, glucan syntheses (CSLC) synthesize glucan backbone\, x ylosyltransferases (XXTs) are responsible for adding the xylose residues to the glucan backbone\, galactosyltransferases (MUR3 and XLT2) and fucosyltr ansferase (FUT1) finish the complete molecular structure. Our work demonstr ated that these proteins form heterocomplexes in Golgi and must coordinate their actions. The stability of proteins can impact the protein-protein int eractions and their co-existence in the same multiprotein complexes\, thus providing information about potential compositional arrangements of such co mplexes. Additional information about the compositional organization of mul tiprotein complexes can also be deducted from the elucidation of their dist ribution along Golgi stacks. In my presentation\, I will present the most r ecent results from the work directed to answer these questions.
