dimer | recombinant catalytic domains of rice CesA8 cellulose synthase form dimers reversibly as the fundamental scaffold units of architecture in the synthase complex. The monomer is a two-domain, elongated structure, with the smaller domain coupling two monomers into a dimer. The catalytic core of the monomer is accommodated only near its center, with the plant-specific sequences occupying the small domain and an extension distal to the catalytic domain, structure comparison and modeling, overview.

additional information | binding kinetics indicate that each monomer of the dimeric enzyme independently synthesizes single glucan chains of cellulose, i.e. two chains per dimer pair. Strong conservation of the four catalytic motifs essential for binding to a UDP moiety, the diphosphate of UDP-Glc, and the nonreducing terminal cellobiosyl unit of the beta-D-glucan chain that extends into the protein, structure comparison and modeling, overview. The monomer and dimer of catalytic domain CatD bind specifically UDP and UDP-glucose | Oryza sativa |
