doi.org/10.1111/nph.20071 Thanks @Jenny_Mortimer1 and Henrik Scheller for the insightful commentary on our recent work in @NewPhyt. We identified the missing ArapTs and GalTs for plant xylan synthesis. Bacteria may be adapting their GH30 xylanases to cleave these xylan structures!

Plant cell wall glycosyltransferases underpin the complex structure of dietary fibre. In our new work doi.org/10.1111/nph.19305, we show that β-xylosylated xyloglucan arose from the rapidly evolving GT47 family, while a promiscuous GH43 hydrolase permits its digestion in the gut.

Our unexpected discovery will change views on plant cell wall composition and architecture! The structure of primary cell wall polysaccharides seems to be very important for plants! #glycotime

Our work discovering putative Golgi SAM transporters is now out in @NaturePlants! rdcu.be/cPjUa Using solid state NMR with @MeiHongLab we found egg box pectin structures in the plant cell wall. Egg box formation is influenced by methylation status! #glycotime

New Article: "Golgi-localized putative S-adenosyl methionine transporters required for plant cell wall polysaccharide methylation" rdcu.be/cPkfB
Methylation occurs in the Golgi and relies on the import of SAM molecules into the Golgi lumen by transporters.

We’re thrilled that our work on EXTL3 is finally out in @NatureComms! The structure is a first for Golgi bi-domain GTs and the GT47 family. There are discoveries on plant GT47s too: a putative UDP-binding motif and a new subclade in lower plants rdcu.be/cPfHm #glycotime

6/7 Consistent with these features, and despite the presence of 10 mM UDP, we were unable to find density for UDP in the GT47 domain. The GT64 domain, however, binds UDP identically to murine EXTL2.

7/7 In plants, GT47 enzymes are vital for cell wall synthesis. Our phylogenies show that many non-angiosperms possess additional GT47s that are closely related to animal EXTs. However, the fusion with GT64 appears to have arisen only at the outset of metazoan evolution.
