Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, a new wall-loosening enzyme activity from plants

1. Cell-free extracts of all plants tested contained a novel enzyme activity (xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, XET) able to transfer a high-M(r) portion from a donor xyloglucan to a suitable acceptor such as a xyloglucan-derived nonasaccharide (Glc(4)Xyl(3)GalFuc; XG9). 2. A simple assay for the enz...
