<meta name="description" content="Recent research on plant glycan structure and function has typically emphasized model plants such as Arabidopsis and plants of commercial importance. However, there is increasing interest in studying the glycans produced by plants from all the major orders of the Viridiplantae. Such studies, together with the availability of transcriptomic data for numerous green algae and land plants, have begun to reveal a rich diversity in glycan structures and insight into how some of these structures have changed during the evolution of the Viridiplantae. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the current knowledge of green plant glycan structures with an emphasis on the features that are unique to land plants.">

itemprop="description"><p>Recent research on plant glycan structure and function has typically emphasized model plants such as <i>Arabidopsis</i> and plants of commercial importance. However, there is increasing interest in studying the glycans produced by plants from all the major orders of the Viridiplantae. Such studies, together with the availability of transcriptomic data for numerous green algae and land plants, have begun to reveal a rich diversity in glycan structures and insight into how some of these structures have changed during the evolution of the Viridiplantae. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the current knowledge of green plant glycan structures with an emphasis on the features that are unique to land plants.</p><p>Viridiplantae (green plants) are a clade of photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophylls a and b, produce and store their photosynthetic products inside a double-membrane-bounded chloroplast, and have cell walls that typically contain cellulose. The Viridiplantae are comprised of two clades—the Chlorophyta and the Streptophyta. The Chlorophyta contain most of the organisms typically referred to as “green algae.” The term “algae” is also used for several other groups of photosynthetic eukaryotes, including diatoms and the red, brown, golden, and yellow-green algae. The Streptophyta comprise several other lineages that are also referred to as “green algae” and the land plants. Land plants include the liverworts, mosses, hornworts, lycopods, ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s1"><h2 id="_Ch24_s1_">PLANT GLYCAN DIVERSITY</h2><p>Green plants synthesize diverse glycans that vary in their structural complexity and molecular size. Raffinose oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose) are almost ubiquitous in the plant kingdom and rank second only to sucrose in abundance as soluble carbohydrates. These oligosaccharides are derivatives of sucrose that contain one or more α-Gal residues. Plants also synthesize numerous low molecular weight glycoconjugates that contain either aromatic (e.g., phenolic glycosides) or aliphatic (glycolipids) aglycones.</p><p>Plant polysaccharides are linear or branched polymers composed of the same or different monosaccharides. For example, cellulose is composed of 1-4-linked β-D-Glc residues (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1A</a>), whereas the structurally complex plant cell wall pectic polysaccharide, referred to as rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), contains 12 different monosaccharides linked together by up to 21 different glycosidic linkages (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). Plant proteoglycans are structurally diverse glycans in which carbohydrate accounts for up to 90% of the molecule and is O-linked to the protein via hydroxyamino acids (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f3" rid-ob="figobch24f3">Figure 24.3</a>). Plant glycoproteins typically contain 15% or less of carbohydrate in the form of N-linked oligomannose, complex, hybrid, and paucimannose oligosaccharides (see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f4" rid-ob="figobch24f4">Figure 24.4</a>).

In plants, the majority of these activated monosaccharides exist as their nucleotide-diphosphates (e.g., UDP-Glc), although at least one monosaccharide, Kdo, exists as its cytidine monophosphate derivative (CMP-Kdo). Nucleotide sugars are formed from the carbohydrate generated by photosynthesis, from the monosaccharides released by hydrolysis of sucrose and storage carbohydrates, and by recycling monosaccharides from glycans and the cell wall. Nucleotide sugars are also formed by interconverting preexisting activated monosaccharides. To date, 30 different nucleotide sugars and at least 100 genes encoding proteins involved in their formation and interconversion have been identified in plants.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s3"><h2 id="_Ch24_s3_">PLANT GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES AND GLYCAN-MODIFYING ENZYMES</h2><p>Plant genomes contain numerous genes encoding proteins involved in the synthesis and modification of glycans. These proteins are spread across many enzyme classes in the Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (<a href="http://www.cazy.org/" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">CAZy</a>) database (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/table/CH24TB1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figCH24TB1" rid-ob="figobCH24TB1">Table 24.1</a>). Many of these proteins may be involved in the formation and modification of the polysaccharide-rich cell wall. Indeed, the unicellular alga <i>Ostreococcus tauri</i>, which is one of the few plants that does not form a cell wall, has a much smaller number of genes predicted to be involved in glycan metabolism.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figCH24TB1"><a href="/books/NBK453049/table/CH24TB1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 24.1." class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figCH24TB1" rid-ob="figobCH24TB1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK453049/table/CH24TB1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK453049/table/CH24TB1/?report=previmg" alt="Table 24.1." /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="CH24TB1"><a href="/books/NBK453049/table/CH24TB1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobCH24TB1">Table 24.1.</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Estimated number of genes encoding proteins involved in the synthesis and modification of glycans in plants and humans </p></div></div></div><div id="Ch24_s4"><h2 id="_Ch24_s4_">PLANT CELL WALLS</h2><p>A substantial portion of the carbohydrate formed by photosynthesis is used to produce the polysaccharide-rich walls that surround plant cells. Primary and secondary cell walls are distinguished by their composition, architecture, and functions. A primary wall surrounds growing and dividing plant cells and nongrowing cells in the soft tissues of fruits and leaves. These walls are capable of controlled extension to allow the cell to grow and expand but yet are sufficiently strong to resist the cells internal turgor pressure. A much thicker and stronger secondary wall is often formed once a cell has ceased to grow. This wall is deposited between the plasma membrane and the primary wall and is composed of layers that differ in the orientation of their cellulose microfibrils. The secondary walls of vascular tissues involved in the movement of water and nutrients through the plant are further strengthened by the incorporation of lignin. The ability to form conducting tissues with lignified and rigid secondary walls was an indispensable event in the evolution of vascular land plants, as it facilitated the transport of water and nutrients and allowed extensive upright growth. Secondary cell walls account for most of the carbohydrate in plant biomass being considered as feedstock for the production of biofuels and value-added chemicals (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch59/?report=reader">Chapter 59</a>).</p></div><div id="Ch24_s5"><h2 id="_Ch24_s5_">PRIMARY CELL WALL GLYCANS</h2><p>Primary cell walls are composites that resemble fiber-reinforced porous gels. The complex structures and functions of these walls result from the assembly and interactions of a limited number of structurally defined polysaccharides and proteoglycans. Wall structure and organization may change during cell division and development and in response to biotic and abiotic challenges by the differential synthesis and modification of the noncellulosic components or by the addition of new components.</p><p>Primary walls of land plants contain cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, in different proportions. They also contain structural proteins/proteoglycans, enzymes, phenolics, and minerals. Pectin and hemicellulose are present in approximately equal amounts in the so-called type I primary walls of gymnosperms, dicots, and nongraminaceous monocots, whereas hemicellulose is far more abundant than pectin in the type II walls of the grasses. Much less is known about the composition of the walls of avascular plants and green algae, although it is likely that the walls of these plants contain cellulose, pectin, and hemicellulose.</p><div id="Ch24_s5a"><h3>Cellulose</h3><p>Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer in nature, is a linear polymer composed of 1-4-linked β-D-Glc residues (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1A</a>). Several of these chains are hydrogen bonded to one another to form paracrystalline microfibrils. Each microfibril is predicted to contain between 18 and 24 glucan chains. The glucan chain is synthesized by a cellulose synthase (CESA) complex that exists as a hexameric rosette structure on the cells plasma membrane. Three CESAs, encoded by three different genes, are believed to interact to form a trimeric complex, which in turn assembles into a hexameric rosette. The catalytic site of each cellulose synthase is located in the cytosol and transfers glucose from UDP-Glc onto the elongating glucan chain. The mechanisms involved in the formation of a microfibril from individual glucan chains are not well understood, although it may involve a self-assembly process that is facilitated by specific proteins. The newly formed microfibrils are then deposited in the wall of a growing cell with an orientation that is transverse to the axis of elongation. This orientation may be guided in part by protein-mediated interactions between CESA proteins and cortical microtubules.</p><p>Naturally occurring cellulose is a mixture of two crystalline forms, Iα and Iβ, together with surface chains and less crystalline material. The 1α and 1β polymorphs differ mainly in the packing arrangement of their hydrogen-bonded sheets. Many properties of native cellulose depend on interactions that occur at the surface of the microfibrils. The surface chains are accessible and reactive whereas the hydroxyl groups of the internal chains in the crystal participate in extensive intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Cellulose is insoluble in water and somewhat resistant to hydrolysis by endo- and exoglucanases because of this highly packed arrangement of the glucan chains.</p><p>Several types of enzymes including endoglucanases cellobiohydrolases and β-glucosidases are required for cellulose depolymerization. Many of these enzymes consist of a catalytic domain connected to a cellulose-binding module. This module facilitates binding of the enzyme to the insoluble substrate. Some microorganisms also produce copper-dependent oxidases that render crystalline cellulose more susceptible to hydrolysis. Cellulases and other enzymes involved in cellulose hydrolysis often exist as macromolecular complexes referred to as cellulosomes. Improving the effectiveness of cellulosomes is an area of active research, to increase the conversion of plant biomass to fermentable sugar (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch59/?report=reader">Chapter 59</a>).</p></div><div id="Ch24_s5b"><h3>Hemicelluloses</h3><p>Hemicelluloses are branched polysaccharides with a backbone composed of 1-4-linked β-D-pyranosyl residues with an equatorial O-4 (Glc, Man, and Xyl). Xyloglucan, glucuronoxylan, arabinoxylan, and glucomannan (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1B</a>–E) are included under this chemical definition of hemicelluloses. Hemicelluloses and cellulose have structural and conformational similarities that allow them to form strong, noncovalent associations with one another in the cell wall, although the biological significance of these interactions is a subject of debate.</p><p>Xyloglucans are distinguished from one another by the number of 1-4-linked β-D-Glc<i>p</i> backbone residues that are branched. XXXG-type xyloglucans are composed of subunits in which three consecutive backbone residues bear an α-Xyl substituent at O-6 and a fourth, unbranched backbone residue (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1B</a>). Each Xyl residue (X side chain) may itself be extended by the addition of one or more monosaccharides including β-D-Gal, α-L-Fuc, α-L-Ara, and β-D-GalA. Eighteen structurally unique side chains have been identified to date, although only a subset of these are synthesized by a single plant species. XXXG-type xyloglucan is present in the primary walls of hornworts, lycopods, ferns, gymnosperms, a diverse range of dicots and all monocots with the exception of the grasses. XXGG-type xyloglucans, which have only two consecutive backbone residues bearing an α-D-Xyl substituent at O-6, are present in the primary walls of the grasses, some Solanaceae, mosses, and liverworts. The Xyl may be extended by the addition of Gal, Ara, or GalA, but rarely, if ever, with Fuc.</p><p>Early models of dicot primary walls predicted that xyloglucan acted as tethers between cellulose microfibrils and that controlled enzymatic cleavage of the xyloglucan facilitated wall expansion and thus plant cell growth. However, the identification of an <i>Arabidopsis</i> mutant that is unable to synthesize xyloglucan yet shows near normal growth and development challenged this notion and led to the suggestion that pectin may have a more important role in controlling wall expansion than previously believed.</p><p>Glucuronoarabinoxylan (GAX, <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1C</a>) is the predominant noncellulosic polysaccharide in the type II walls of the grasses. Its backbone is composed of 1-4-linked β-D-Xyl residues, many of which are substituted at O-3 with α-L-Ara<i>f</i> residues. These Ara<i>f</i> residues may be further substituted at O-2 with an α-L-Ara<i>f</i> or a β-D-Xyl<i>p</i> residue. A small number of the backbone residues are substituted at O-2 with α-D-Glc<i>p</i>A and its 4-O-methylated counterpart (MeGlc<i>p</i>A).</p><p>The presence of 1-3, 1-4-linked β-glucans (also referred to as mixed-linkage glucans) in the walls of grasses was once considered to be a unique feature of these plants. However, structurally related mixed-linkage β-glucans have also been identified in the walls of <i>Selaginella</i> (lycopod) and <i>Equisetum</i> (horsetails), although the evolutionary relationship between these β-glucans is not known.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s5c"><h3>Pectins</h3><p>Pectins are structurally complex polysaccharides that contain 1-4-linked α-GalA. Three structurally distinct pectins—homogalacturonan, substituted galacturonan, and rhamnogalacturonan—have been identified in plant cell walls (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). Homogalacturonan, which may account for up to 65% of the pectin in a primary wall, is composed of 1-4-linked α-GalA. The carboxyl group may be methyl-esterified and the glycose itself may be acetylated at O-2 or O-3. The extent of methyl-esterification is controlled by pectin methyl-esterases present in the wall and affects the ability of homogalacturonan-containing glycans to form ionic calcium cross-links with themselves and with other pectic polymers. Such interactions alter the mechanical properties of the wall and may influence plant growth and development.</p><p>Rhamnogalacturonans are polysaccharides with a backbone composed of GalA and rhamnose (Rha) residues in the repeating disaccharide 4-α-D-Gal<i>p</i>A-1-2-α-L-Rha<i>p</i>-1. Many of the GalAs are acetylated at O-2 and/or O-3. Depending on the plant, between 20% and 80% of the Rha residues may be substituted at O-4 with linear or branched side chains composed predominantly of Ara and Gal, together with smaller amounts of Fuc and GlcA (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). Little is known about the functions of these side chains and their contribution to the properties of the primary wall.</p><p>Substituted galacturonans have a backbone composed of 1-4-linked α-D-GalA acid residues that are substituted to varying degrees with mono-, di-, or oligosaccharides. Xylogalacturonans contain single β-Xyl residues linked to O-3 of some of the backbone residues (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>) whereas apiogalacturonans have β-D-apiose (Api) and apiobiose linked to O-2 of some of the backbone residues. Apiogalacturonans have only been identified in the walls of duckweeds and seagrasses.</p><p>Rhamnogalacturonan-II, which accounts for between 2% and 5% of the primary cell wall, is the most structurally complex polysaccharide yet identified in nature. It is composed of 12 different monosaccharides linked together by up to 21 different glycosidic linkages (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). Four structurally different side chains are attached to the galacturonan backbone. Two structurally conserved disaccharides (side chains C and D) are linked to O-2 of the backbone. The A and B side chains, which contain between 7 and 9 monosaccharides, are linked to O-3 of the backbone. Several of the monosaccharides in RG-II are O-methylated and/or O-acetylated.</p><p>Virtually all of the RG-II exists in the primary wall as a dimer cross-linked by a borate ester. The ester is formed between the Api residue in side chain A of each RG-II monomer (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). The dimer forms rapidly in vitro when the RG-II monomer is reacted with boric acid and a divalent cation. However, the mechanism and site of dimer formation in planta has not been determined. Borate cross-linking of RG-II is likely to have substantial effects on the properties of pectin and the primary wall as RG-II is itself linked to homogalacturonan (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). Indeed, mutations that affect RG-II structure and cross-linking result in plants with abnormal walls and severe growth defects. Swollen primary walls and abnormal growth together with reduced RG-II cross-linking are also a characteristic of boron deficient plants.</p><p>Pectin is believed to exist in the cell wall as a macromolecular complex comprised of structural domains—homogalacturonan, rhamnogalacturonan, and substituted galacturonan—that are covalently linked to one another. However, there is only a limited understanding of how these structural domains are organized (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f2" rid-ob="figobch24f2">Figure 24.2</a>). Molecular modeling of a pectin (∼50 kDa) containing homogalacturonan (degree of polymerization ∼100) and rhamnogalacturonan with arabinogalactan side chains, together with modeling of RG-II conformation have begun to provide insights into the conformations and relative dimensions of each pectin structural domain.</p><p>The conformation of the homogalacturonan chain is largely unaffected by the conformation at the glycosidic linkage, by changes in its degree of methyl-esterification or the presence of counter ions. The homogalacturonan region has a persistence length of approximately 20 GalA residues, which is likely to be sufficient to stabilize junction zones formed with Ca<sup>++</sup>. In vitro studies suggest that the maximum stability of such junction zones is obtained with oligomers containing approximately 15 nonesterified GalA residues. Thus controlling the distribution of methyl-ester groups along the homogalacturonan backbone provides a mechanism to regulate the physical properties of pectin, including its ability to form gels. For a gel to form and not to be brittle, other features including sequences that interrupt interchain associations in the pectin macromolecule may be important. For example the structural diversity and the conformational flexibility of the oligosaccharide side chains of the rhamnogalacturonan domain will limit or prevent interchain pairing. The presence of 1-2-linked Rha residues does not introduce kinks into the backbone geometry of rhamnogalacturonan and thereby limit interchain associations. Rather, it is the side chains linked to these residues that are responsible for preventing or limiting interchain associations.</p><p>The conformations of the four side chains attached to the homogalacturonan backbone may lead RG-II to adopt a “disk-like” shape. Well-defined tertiary structures are predicted for the monomer and the dimer. In the dimer, borate-ester cross-linking and Ca<sup>++</sup> interchain pairing further stabilizes the two disks. The apparent resistance of RG-II to wall-modifying enzymes together with the formation of a cation-stabilized RG-II dimer likely results in a structure that resists temporal changes. In contrast, homogalacturonan is continually modified by the action of wall enzymes and its contribution to wall architecture is therefore time dependent.</p><p>Increased knowledge of the physical properties of primary wall polysaccharides and proteoglycans is required to understand how modulating the amounts and structural features of a few common polysaccharides and glycan domains lead to primary walls with diverse properties and functionalities. Further research is also needed to determine if wall structure and function results from the noncovalent interactions of polysaccharides and proteoglycans or from the formation of glycan-containing architectural units with specific structural and functional roles. The later scenario is analogous to the organization of proteoglycans and O-linked mucins in the extracellular matrix of animal cells (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch10/?report=reader">Chapters 10</a>, <a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch16/?report=reader">16</a>, and <a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch17/?report=reader">17</a>).</p></div></div><div id="Ch24_s6"><h2 id="_Ch24_s6_">PLANT SECONDARY CELL WALL GLYCANS</h2><p>The secondary walls of woody tissue and grasses are composed predominantly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The inclusion of lignin results in a hydrophobic composite that is a major contributor to the structural characteristics of secondary walls.</p><p>Heteroxylans are the major hemicellulosic polysaccharide present in the secondary (lignified) cell walls of flowering plants. These heteroxylans are classified according to the type and abundance of the substituents on the 1-4-linked β-D-Xyl<i>p</i> residues of the polysaccharide backbone. Glucuronoxylans (GX), which are major components in the secondary walls of woody and herbaceous eudicots, have a α-D-GlcA or MeGlcA substituent at O-2 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1C</a>). Gymnosperm secondary walls contain arabinoglucuronoxylans (AGXs), which in addition to MeGlcA substituents, have Ara<i>f</i> residues attached to O-3 of some of the backbone residues. The GAX in the secondary walls of grasses typically contain less Ara<i>f</i> residues than their primary wall counterpart (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1D</a>). Ferulic or coumaric acids are often esterified to the Ara<i>f</i> residues of GAX in grass primary and secondary cells walls.</p><p>Eudicot and gymnosperm secondary wall GX and AGX have a well-defined glycosyl sequence 1-4-β-D-Xyl<i>p</i>-1-3-α-L-Rha<i>p</i>-1-2-α-D-Gal<i>p</i>A-1-4-D-Xyl<i>p</i> at their reducing end (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f1" rid-ob="figobch24f1">Figure 24.1C</a>). This sequence is required for normal xylan synthesis during secondary cell wall formation and may have a role in regulating the polymers chain length. This sequence is present at the reducing end of heteroxylans of all monocots except the grasses.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s7"><h2 id="_Ch24_s7_">HEMICELLULOSE AND PECTIN BIOSYNTHESIS</h2><p>Genes that encode polysaccharide biosynthetic enzymes, including many of those required for xyloglucan, glucuronoxylan, arabinoxylan, and cellulose synthesis and some of those required for pectin synthesis have been identified. This information, together with improved methods to generate recombinant plant glycosyltranferases (GTs) with high enzymatic activity is providing a framework for an increased understanding of how plant cell wall polysaccharides are synthesized. There is general consensus that cellulose is synthesized by GT complexes localized at the plasma membrane and that most pectins and hemicellulose are synthesized in the Golgi apparatus. Members of the cellulose synthase-like gene families, CSLF and CSLH are likely involved in 1-3- and 1-4-linked β-glucan biosynthesis. However, there is considerable debate about whether this polysaccharide is formed in the Golgi apparatus or at the plasma membrane.</p><p>Despite advances in understanding how polysaccharides are synthesized we still do not know how many of the wall polymers are synthesized by Golgi-localized multienzyme complexes or if they are assembled by GTs localized in different regions of the Golgi apparatus. We also do not understand how the newly synthesized polymers are assembled into a functional cell wall.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s8"><h2 id="_Ch24_s8_">PLANTS PRODUCE PROTEOGLYCANS CONTAINING O-LINKED OLIGOSACCHARIDES AND O-LINKED POLYSACCHARIDES</h2><p>Plants produce glycoproteins and proteoglycans that contain oligo- or polysaccharides that are linked to hydroxyproline (Hyp) and serine (Ser). Hyp is formed posttranslationally by endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized prolyl hydroxylases and is O-glycosylated in the ER and in the Golgi apparatus. The degree and type of Hyp glycosylation is determined to a large extent by the protein's primary sequence and the arrangement of Hyp residues. Hyp glycosylation is initiated by the addition of an Ara or a Gal residue. Contiguous Hyp residues are arabinosylated, whereas clustered but noncontiguous Hyp residues are galactosylated. Ser residues and occasionally threonine residues may also be O-glycosylated in these proteins.</p><p>Three structurally distinct plant proteoglycans containing glycosylated Hyp and Ser—the extensins, proline/hydroxyproline-rich proteoglycans, and arabinogalactan proteins—have been identified. Extensins are hydroxyproline-rich proteoglycans with Ser(Hyp)<sub>4</sub> repeat sequences and contain between 50% and 60% (w/w) glycan. Most of the carbohydrate exists as oligosaccharides containing one to four Ara residues linked to Hyp together with a small number of single Gal residues α-linked to Ser. The proline/hydroxyproline-rich proteoglycans, which contain from 3% to 70% (w/w) carbohydrate, are distinguished from the extensins by amino acid sequence. Both of these families of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) likely have a structural role in the cell wall. The expression of genes involved in their synthesis is developmentally regulated and is often induced by wounding and fungal attack of plant tissues.</p><p>The glycopeptide signaling molecules PSY1, CLE2, and CLV3 contain arabinosylated hydroxyproline and have numerous roles in plant growth and development. A highly glycosylated Hyp-rich domain in which three or four Ara residues are attached to Hyp and a single Gal residue is linked to Ser is present in potato, tomato, and thorn-apple lectins.</p><p>Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) have a glycan content of up to 90% (w/w). Chains of between 30 and 150 monosaccharides are linked to the protein by Gal-O-Ser and Gal-O-Hyp linkages. These chains have a 1-3-linked β-Gal backbone that is extensively substituted at O-6 with side chains of 1-6-linked β-Gal. These side chains are terminated with Ara, GlcA, and Fuc residues. Some AGPs may contain homogalacturonan, RG-I and xylan covalently linked to the arabinogalactan (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f3" rid-ob="figobch24f3">Figure 24.3</a>) thereby forming a protein–hemicellulose–pectin complex referred to as APAP1. The location of this complex in the plant and its biological function remains to be determined.</p><p>Several AGPs are secreted into the cell wall whereas others are linked to the plasma membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Plant GPI anchors contain a phosphoceramide core. The glycan portion of the GPI anchor of pear cell AGP has the sequence α-D-Man1-2α-D-Man-1-6-α-D-Man-1-4-GlcN-inositol. At least 50% of the Man attached to the GlcN (see <a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch12/?report=reader">Chapter 12</a>) is itself substituted at O-4 with a β-Gal, a feature that may be unique to plants. Many functions have been proposed for the AGPs including their participation in signaling, development, cell expansion, cell proliferation, and somatic embryogenesis.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s9"><h2 id="_Ch24_s9_">THE N-LINKED GLYCANS OF PLANT GLYCOPROTEINS HAVE UNIQUE STRUCTURES</h2><p>Many of the proteins that have passed through the plant secretory system contain N-linked oligomannose, complex, hybrid, or paucimannose-type glycans (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f4" rid-ob="figobch24f4">Figure 24.4</a>). The initial stages of the synthesis of these N-glycans, including the transfer of the oligosaccharide precursor from its dolichol derivative and the control of protein folding in the ER are comparable in plants and animals (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch9/?report=reader">Chapter 9</a>). However, two modifications of N-glycans during passage through the Golgi are unique to plants.</p><p>Oligomannose-type N-glycans are often trimmed in the <i>cis</i>-Golgi and then modified in the <i>medial</i>-Golgi by N-GlcNAc transferase I (GnT-I) catalyzed addition of GlcNAc to the distal Man of the core. In reactions that are unique to plants, a β-Xyl is often added to O-2 of the core Man. In the <i>trans</i>-Golgi, α-Fuc may be added to O-3 of the GlcNAc residue that is itself linked to asparagine (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f5/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f5" rid-ob="figobch24f5">Figure 24.5</a>). The XylT and FucT that catalyze these reactions act independently of one another but do require at least one terminal GlcNAc residue for activity. The FucT is related to the Lewis FucT family, whereas the XylT is unrelated to other known GTs.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="figch24f5" co-legend-rid="figlgndch24f5"><a href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f5/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="FIGURE 24.5." class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figch24f5" rid-ob="figobch24f5"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK453049/bin/ch24f05.gif" src-large="/books/NBK453049/bin/ch24f05.jpg" alt="FIGURE 24.5..

A second GlcNAc may then be added by GnT-II. Some plant N-glycans do not undergo further mannose trimming and proceed through the Golgi as hybrid-type N-glycans. Complex and hybrid-type N-glycans may be further modified by the addition of Gal and Fuc in the <i>trans</i>-Golgi. Plant glycoproteins are either secreted from the cell or transported to the vacuoles. Many of the glycoproteins present in the vacuoles contain paucimannose type glycans, suggesting that they are trimmed by vacuolar glycosidases (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f5/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f5" rid-ob="figobch24f5">Figure 24.5</a>).</p><p>The presence of sialic acid in the N-glycans of plant glycoproteins was claimed but likely represented environmental contamination. Plants do have genes that encode proteins containing sequences similar to sialyltransferase motifs but their functions have not been established.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s10"><h2 id="_Ch24_s10_">ALGAL GLYCANS</h2><p>Only a few glycans of green algae have been studied in detail. For example, the cell wall of <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardii</i> is a crystalline lattice formed from hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins. A sulfated polysaccharide composed of Kdo and GalA is the major glycan in the cell walls of <i>Tetraselmis striata.</i> Some, but not all, of the glycans present in the cell walls of land plants may also be present in the cell walls of some green algae. Several of the polysaccharides produced by red and brown algae are used in the food industry as gelling agents, stabilizers, thickeners, and emulsifiers. They are also used in paints, cosmetics, and in paper and as reagents for scientific research.</p><p>Agarose (agar) and carrageenan are sulfated galactans obtained from red seaweeds. The polysaccharide is comprised of the repeating disaccharide 3-β-D-Gal<i>p</i>-1-4-3,6-anhydro-α-L-Gal<i>p</i>-1 unit. Some of the D-Gal and L-Gal units are O-methylated. Pyruvate and sulfate groups may also present in small quantities. There are three main types of carrageenan—κ-carrageenan has one sulfate group per disaccharide, ι-carrageenan has two sulfates per disaccharide, and λ-carrageenan has three sulfates per disaccharide.</p><p>Alginic acid, a linear polysaccharide composed of 1-4-linked β-D-ManA and its C-5 epimer 1-4-linked α-L-GulA, is obtained from various species of brown seaweed. These monosaccharides are typically arranged in blocks of either ManA or GulA separated by regions comprised of 4-Man<i>p</i>A-1-4-Gul<i>p</i>A-1 sequences.</p><p>Brown seaweeds produce polysaccharides that have potential in the treatment of diseases. Laminaran, a linear storage polysaccharide composed of 1-3- and 1-6-linked β-D-Glc residues. There are reports that laminaran has antiapoptotic and antitumor activities. Fucoidans are a group of sulfated polysaccharides isolated from several brown algae that have been reported to have anticoagulant, antitumor, antithrombosis, antiinflammatory, and antiviral properties. Fucoidans have a backbone of 1-3-linked α-Fuc that is substituted at O-2 with fucose and at O-4 with sulfate or fucose. Other fucoidans have backbones of alternating 1-3- and 1-4-linked α-Fuc residues.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s11"><h2 id="_Ch24_s11_">PLANT GLYCOLIPIDS</h2><p>Glycoglycerol lipids are the most abundant glycolipids in plants. Mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol have been identified in all plants, whereas tri- and tetragalactosyldiacylglycerol have a more restricted taxonomic distribution (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f6/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch24f6" rid-ob="figobch24f6">Figure 24.6</a>). The synthesis of these galactolipids is initiated by the formation of diacylglycerol in the ER membrane and the chloroplast membrane. Galactolipids formed in the ER membrane contain predominantly C16 fatty acids at the <i>sn</i>2 position and C18 fatty acids at the <i>sn</i>3 position. The chloroplast pathway produces C18 fatty acids at both positions. Each of these fatty acids is then desaturated to 16:3 or 18:3 acyl groups. Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is synthesized by the transfer of Gal from UDP-Gal to diacylglycerol by an MGDG synthase. Digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) is formed from MGDG by the transfer of Gal from UDP-Gal by a DGDG synthase. These reactions occur primarily in the outer chloroplast membrane. The products are then transported to the inner membrane and the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. The presence and abundance of MGDG in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane is important for normal photosynthesis to occur. Sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol, which is formed from diacylglycerol, is also abundant in the thylakoid membrane and may also have a role in photosynthesis.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="figch24f6" co-legend-rid="figlgndch24f6"><a href="/books/NBK453049/figure/ch24.f6/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="FIGURE 24.6." class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figch24f6" rid-ob="figobch24f6"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK453049/bin/ch24f06.gif" src-large="/books/NBK453049/bin/ch24f06.jpg" alt="FIGURE 24.6..

Inositolphosphoceramides that contain GlcN and GlcA have been identified in plants, although their function remains to be determined. Glycosphingolipids containing Gal and Fuc (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch11/?report=reader">Chapter 11</a>) are present in plant cell plasma membranes, but none have been fully characterized. No gangliosides have been identified in plants. However, there is evidence that Kdo-containing lipids with homology to bacterial lipid A are present in plant organelle membranes.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s12"><h2 id="_Ch24_s12_">OTHER PLANT GLYCOCONJUGATES</h2><p>Plants produce numerous phenolics, terpenes, steroids, and alkaloids that are collectively referred to as secondary metabolites. Many of these compounds are O-glycosylated or contain sugars linked via N, S, or C atoms. Glycosylated secondary metabolites often have important roles in a plants response to biotic and abiotic challenges and may also have value as pharmaceuticals.</p><p>In general, the addition of a single sugar or an oligosaccharide may increase water solubility, enhance chemical stability, or alter both chemical and biological activity. For example, the activity of several plant hormones may be regulated by converting them to their glucose esters or their glucosides. Digoxin and oleandrin are potent cardiac glycosides isolated from foxglove and oleander, respectively. Myrosinase-catalyzed cleavage of S-linked Glc from glucosinolates leads to the formation of pungent mustard oils when mustard and horseradish are damaged. The steviol glycosides, which are far sweeter than sucrose, are used as natural sugar substitutes. The bitter taste of citrus fruits is due to naringin, a glycosylated flavanoid.</p></div><div id="Ch24_s13"><h2 id="_Ch24_s13_">PLANT MUTANTS PROVIDE CLUES TO GLYCAN FUNCTION</h2><p>The availability of plant lines carrying mutations in specific genes has yielded considerable insight into glycan biosynthesis and function. Arabidopsis is widely used as a model dicot as it is easy to grow, has a short life cycle and its relatively small genome has been sequenced and extensively annotated. Numerous databases and resources are available for <i>Arabidopsis</i>, most notably TAIR (The Arabidopsis Information Resource), which provides access to a large number of plants carrying chemically induced or transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertion mutations in genes of both known and unknown function. Collections of other plant mutant lines including soybean and <i>Brachypodium</i> exist, but are not yet as well developed as TAIR.</p><p>Several <i>Arabidopsis</i> cell wall mutants were identified by screening 5200 chemically mutagenized <i>Arabidopsis</i> plants for changes in the glycosyl residue compositions of their cell walls. One of these mutants (<i>mur1</i>) lacks an isoform of GDP-Man-4,6-dehydrase (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch6/?report=reader">Chapter 6</a>) and is deficient in Fuc. The mutant partially compensates for this deficiency by adding L-Gal, a homolog of Fuc (6-deoxy-L-Gal), to xyloglucan, RG-I, and RG-II. The addition of L-Gal to RG-II results in incomplete synthesis of the A side chain and a decrease in borate cross-linking of RG-II, which is likely responsible for the dwarf stature of <i>mur1</i> plants. Two additional mutants (<i>mur2</i> and <i>mur3</i>) identified in the same screen were found to be defective in xyloglucan side chain synthesis. Subsequently, all the other <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes encoding the GTs required for xyloglucan side chain formation have been identified. Some of the genes involved in xyloglucan synthesis in rice and tomato have also been identified and functionally characterized.</p><p>Genes involved in the synthesis of the GX backbone (<i>IRX10</i> and <i>IRX10-L</i>), the addition of GlcA (<i>GUX</i>), the O-methylation of GlcA (<i>GXMT1</i>), and O-acetylation of the backbone (<i>XOAT</i>) have been identified and functionally characterized. There has also been progress in identifying grass genes and GTs involved in GAX synthesis. No genes involved in the synthesis of the Rha-containing reducing end sequence of secondary wall GX have yet been identified.</p><p>A family of genes that encode GTs involved in the synthesis of 1-4-linked α-galacturonans have been identified. Two of the encoded proteins, GAUT1 and GAUT7, exist as a complex that synthesizes homogalacturonan. Only one GT involved in RG-II synthesis has been identified. Similarly, few genes have been identified and shown to have a role in the synthesis of the backbone and side chains of RG-I.</p><p>Fucosyltransferases, glucuronosyltransferases, galactosyltransferases, and arabinosyltransferases involved in arabinogalactan and extensin biosynthesis have been identified. Plants carrying loss-of-function mutations in some of the genes encoding these GTs show growth defects and reduced fertility.</p><p>Plants carrying mutations at different steps along the N-glycosylation pathway have begun to provide insight into the role of protein glycosylation in plants. Mutants (<i>dgl1</i>) defective in the oligosaccharyltransferase complex have phenotypes that range from reduced cell elongation to embryonic lethality. However, a mutant (<i>cgl</i>) that lacks GnT-I activity has no discernible developmental or growth defects, even though it produces glycoproteins enriched in Man<sub>5</sub>GlcNAc<sub>2</sub> but lacking complex N-glycans.</p><p>Plant mutants defective in O-GlcNAc modification of proteins show numerous changes in growth and development processes (<a href="/books/n/glyco3/ch19/?report=reader">Chapter 19</a>). It is not known how this modification affects cellular processes as only a small number of O-GlcNAc modified proteins have been identified.</p><p>The plant-specific modifications of N-glycans result in glycoproteins that are often highly immunogenic and cause allergic responses in humans. The demonstration that complex N-glycans are not essential for plant growth initiated studies to engineer plant N-glycosylation pathways to produce glycoproteins that do not activate the mammalian immune system. Plants lacking the GTs that add Xyl and Fuc to N-linked glycans produce glycoproteins lacking immunogenic glyco-epitopes. Other glycosylation pathways involved in the addition of sialic acid and Gal must be introduced to fully “humanize” the glycoproteins if plants are to be used to produce recombinant therapeutic glycoproteins.</p><p>Glycolipids are important for chloroplast development and for photosynthesis. The <i>mgd1</i> mutant, which contains 50% of the normal amounts of MGDG, is deficient in chlorophyll production and has altered chloroplast ultrastructure. Additional evidence for the role of MGDG has been obtained using galvestine-1 or (2-oxobenzo[d]imidazol-3-yl) piperidine-1-carboxylate, a chemical inhibitor of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthases, which has been shown to impair chloroplast development in <i>Arabidopsis</i>.</p></div><div id="ack24"><h2 id="_ack24_">ACKNOWLEDGMENTS</h2><p>The authors appreciate helpful comments and suggestions from Corinna Landig and Robert Townley.</p></div><div id="rl24"><h2 id="_rl24_">FURTHER READING</h2><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="CH24C1">Painter T. 1983.
