High impact information on ATCSLA07

KOJAK encodes a cellulose synthase-like protein required for root hair cell morphogenesis in Arabidopsis [1].
We show here that rat4 contains a T-DNA insertion into the 3'-untranslated region of the cellulose synthase-like gene CSLA9 [2].
AtCSLA7 is widely expressed, and is likely to be required for synthesis of a cell wall polysaccharide found throughout the plant [3].
The cellulose synthase-like proteins are a large family of proteins in plants thought to be processive polysaccharide beta-glycosyltransferases [3].
AtCSLA7, a cellulose synthase-like putative glycosyltransferase, is important for pollen tube growth and embryogenesis in Arabidopsis [3].

Biological context of ATCSLA07

Information from expressed sequence tag (EST) projects has revealed the presence of Csl genes in all plant species with a significant number of ESTs [4].
We have used comparative genomics to link a major quantitative trait locus for (1,3;1,4)-beta-d-glucan content in barley grain to a cluster of cellulose synthase-like CslF genes in rice [5].

Other interactions of ATCSLA07

Arabidopsis contains six families of genes related to cellulose synthase, the cellulose synthase-like (Csl) genes [4].
