Article Synopsis
- * Homogalacturonan (HG), a significant part of pectin, is particularly active in rapidly growing cells like pollen tubes, where it undergoes modifications by specific enzymes called HG modifying enzymes (HGMEs).
- * Different HGMEs have various isoforms that impact the chemical properties of HG, influencing pollen germination and growth by enabling precise modification of the cell wall based on local environmental conditions.
The movement of proteins between cellular compartments requires the orchestrated actions of many factors including Rab family GTPases, Soluble NSF Attachment protein REceptors (SNAREs) and so-called tethering factors. One such tethering factor is called TRAnsport Protein Particle (TRAPP), and in humans, TRAPP proteins are distributed into two related complexes called TRAPP II and III. Although thought to act as a single unit within the complex, in the past few years it has become evident that some TRAPP proteins function independently of the complex.
