Nomenclature for members of the expansin superfamily of genes and proteins (2004)
Kende, H., Bradford, K.T., Brummell, D.A., Cho, H.T., Cosgrove, D.J., Fleming, A.J., ...
Shcherban, T Y, Shi, J, Durachko, D M, Guiltinan, M J, McQueen-Mason, S J, Shieh, M, ...
Expansins are unusual proteins discovered by virtue of their ability to mediate cell wall extension in plants. We identified cDNA clones for two cucumber expansins on the basis of peptide sequences...
McQueen-Mason, S, Cosgrove, D J
Plant cell enlargement is controlled by the ability of the constraining cell wall to expand. This ability has been postulated to be under the control of polysaccharide hydrolases or transferases that...
Plant cell growth responds to external forces and the response requires intact microtubules.
Wymer, C L, Wymer, S A, Cosgrove, D J, Cyr, R J
Microfibril deposition in most plant cells is influenced by cortical microtubules. Thus, cortical microtubules are templates that provide spatial information to the cell wall. How cortical...
Wu, Y, Sharp, R E, Durachko, D M, Cosgrove, D J
Previous work on the growth biophysics of maize (Zea mays L.) primary roots suggested that cell walls in the apical 5 mm of the elongation zone increased their yielding ability as an adaptive...
The Propagation of Slow Wave Potentials in Pea Epicotyls.
Stahlberg, R., Cosgrove, D. J.
Slow wave potentials are considered to be electric long-distance signals specific for plants, although there are conflicting ideas about a chemical, electrical, or hydraulic mode of propagation....
Wang, T. W., Cosgrove, D. J., Arteca, R. N.
Hypocotyl elongation of pakchoi (Brassica chinensis cv Lei-Choi) was stimulated by applying 300 ng of brassinosteroid (2[alpha],3[alpha],22[beta],23[beta]-tetrahydroxy-24[beta]-methyl-B-homo-7-...
How do plant cell walls extend?
This article briefly summarizes recent work that identifies the biophysical and biochemical processes that give rise to the extension of plant cell walls. I begin with the biophysical notion of...
Expansins are wall proteins that mediate a type of acid-induced extension in isolated plant cell walls (S. McQueen-Mason, D.M. Durachko, D.J. Cosgrove [1992] Plant Cell 4: 1425-1433). To assess the...
Two endogenous proteins that induce cell wall extension in plants.
McQueen-Mason, S, Durachko, D M, Cosgrove, D J
Plant cell enlargement is regulated by wall relaxation and yielding, which is thought to be catalyzed by elusive "wall-loosening" enzymes. By employing a reconstitution approach, we found that a...
Expansin mode of action on cell walls. Analysis of wall hydrolysis, stress relaxation, and binding.
McQueen-Mason, S J, Cosgrove, D J
The biochemical mechanisms underlying cell wall expansion in plants have long been a matter of conjecture. Previous work in our laboratory identified two proteins (named "expansins") that catalyze...
Irving, G. C. J., Cosgrove, D. J.
The fungus Aspergillus ficuum NRRL 3135 is known to produce an extracellular nonspecific orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.2) with a pH optimum of 2.0, as well as an extracellular...
A model of cell wall expansion based on thermodynamics of polymer networks.
A theory of cell wall extension is proposed. It is shown that macroscopic properties of cell walls can be explained through the microscopic properties of interpenetrating networks of cellulose and...
Pressure probe study of the water relations of Phycomyces blakesleeanus sporangiophores.
Cosgrove, D J, Ortega, J K, Shropshire, W
The physical characteristics which govern the water relations of the giant-celled sporangiophore of Phycomyces blakesleeanus were measured with the pressure probe technique and with nanoliter...
