Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation XXTs interact with AtSar1 in the COPII complex.
- Observation XXTs do not interact with AtSec24.
- Intervention effect Mutating arginine to glutamine in the di-arginine motifs of the XXT N-termini caused protein mislocalization.
- Intervention effect The mutations caused 90% of XXTs to remain in the ER or localize to small non-Golgi compartments.
- Intervention effect Mislocalization of the mutated XXTs significantly suppressed recovery of xyloglucan biosynthesis in the xxt1xxt2 and xxt3xxt4xxt5 mutants.
- Intervention effect The mislocalized XXTs failed to restore the root phenotypes of the mutants to normal.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that di-arginine motifs play a critical role in the cargo-AtSar1 interaction.
