| Abstract: | Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on the planet and is produced in the primary and secondarycell wall of terrestrial plants by a plasma membrane (PM)-localized, multimeric protein complex. Thecatalytic enzyme, or cellulose synthase, belongs to a multigene family known as CESA. It is generallyaccepted that the behavior and trajectories of cellulose synthase complexes are oriented by the positionof cortical microtubules, but how exactly these complexes are delivered and recycled from the PMremains poorly understood. Limited evidence suggests that microtubules determine the site for deliveryof new complexes; however, abolishing microtubules with the inhibitor oryzalin has absolutely no effecton rates of delivery. Thus, there is a pressing need to explore the contribution of another component ofthe cortical cytoskeleton, actin filaments and the associated motor protein myosin, to the delivery anddynamics of CESA at the PM. |
