comment
  • FUNCTION Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase terminal complexes ('rosettes'), required for beta-1,4-glucan microfibril crystallization, a major mechanism of the cell wall formation (By similarity). Involved in the secondary cell wall formation.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n) + UDP-alpha-D-glucose = [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n+1) + UDP + H(+)COFACTOR Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.PATHWAY Glycan metabolism; plant cellulose biosynthesis.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Plants develop a brittle culm (bc) phenotype with a reduction of up to 80 percent of cellulose content in culm.SIMILARITY Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. Plant cellulose synthase subfamily.
