Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The localization of fluorescence protein-tagged glucomannan synthase was shown to be similar to that of Golgi marker protein by live-cell imaging of a rice protoplast. In a protoplast co-expressing these proteins, particles with individual fluorescence and those with merged fluorescence were found, suggesting that the level of each protein varies among different Golgi bodies. In transgenic poplar expressing fluorescence protein-tagged glucomannan synthase, moving particles were found in leaf epidermal cells and stem differentiating fiber cells, while unmoving particles were found in leaf mesophyll cells, suggesting that the behavior of Golgi body varies among cell types. Xylanase was found in cell wall, whereas not found in Golgi body. Xylan endotransglycosylase activity was detected in proteins extracted from cell wall. In situ activity was specific to fiber cells, suggesting that the transglycosylation of xylan is essential for the structure and function of fiber secondary wall.
