The state of cell wall pectin monitored by wall associated kinases: A model

Date: 2015-07-03

Creator: Bruce D. Kohorn

Access: Open access

The Wall Associated Kinases (WAKs) bind to both cross-linked polymers of pectin in the plant cell wall, but have a higher affinity for smaller fragmented pectins that are generated upon pathogen attack or wounding. WAKs are required for cell expansion during normal seedling development and this involves pectin binding and a signal transduction pathway involving MPK3 and invertase induction. Alternatively WAKs bind pathogen generated pectin fragments to activate a distinct MPK6 dependent stress response. Evidence is provided for a model for how newly generated pectin fragments compete for longer pectins to alter the WAK dependent responses.
