Expression of an expansin carbohydrate-binding module affects xylem and phloem formation (2007)

Obembe, Olawole O., Jacobsen, Evert, Visser, Richard, Vincken, Jean-Paul

Expansins are believed to be involved in disrupting the non-covalent adhesion of cellulose to matrix polysaccharides, thereby promoting wall creep. We have targeted a putative potato expansin (EXPA)...

Discrete Forms of Amylose Are Synthesized by Isoforms of GBSSI in PeaW⃞

Edwards, Anne, Vincken, Jean-Paul, Visser, Richard G. F., Zeeman, Sam, Smith, Alison, ...

Amyloses with distinct molecular masses are found in the starch of pea embryos compared with the starch of pea leaves. In pea embryos, a granule-bound starch synthase protein (GBSSIa) is required for...

Bifidobacterium longum Endogalactanase Liberates Galactotriose from Type I Galactans

Hinz, Sandra W. A., Pastink, Marieke I., Vincken, Jean-Paul, Voragen, Alphons G. J.

A putative endogalactanase gene classified into glycoside hydrolase family 53 was revealed from the genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum strain NCC2705 (Schell et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA...

Expression of alternansucrase in potato plants

Kok-Jacon, Géraldine A., Vincken, Jean-Paul, Wang, Denong, Liu, Shaoyi, Visser, Richard G.F.

Alternan, which consists of alternating α-(1→3)/α-(1→6)-linked glucosyl residues, was produced in potato tubers by expressing a mature alternansucrase (Asr) gene from Leuconostoc mesenteroides...

Promiscuous, non-catalytic, tandem carbohydrate-binding modules modulate the cell-wall structure and development of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants

Obembe, Olawole O., Jacobsen, Evert, Timmers, Jaap, Gilbert, Harry, Blake, Anthony W., Knox, J. Paul, ...

We have compared heterologous expression of two types of carbohydrate binding module (CBM) in tobacco cell walls. These are the promiscuous CBM29 modules (a tandem CBM29-1-2 and its single derivative...
