TAIR Computational Description | rhamnogalacturonan xylosyltransferase 2;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with UDP-xylose-dependent xylosyltransferase activity, which transfers Xyl onto L-fucose and (albeit less efficiently) L-arabinose. The linkage to L-fucose was shown to be preferentially to the <i>O</i>-4 position. Analysis of mutant containing T-DNA insertion in this gene indicate that the RGXT2 protein might be involved in the synthesis of the α-D-Xyl-(1,3)-α-L-Fuc-(1,4)-L-Rha structure in pectic rhamnogalacturonan II. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
