Encodes a cellulose synthase isomer. CESA6 mutants have cellulose defect in the primary cell wall. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that CESA6, along with CESA1 and CESA3 are present in the same plasma membrane complex for cellulose biosynthesis. CESA2 and CESA5 are related to CESA6, having partially redundant roles. As inferred from the null role of secondary wall-type CesAs, included in a set of five primary wall-type CesAs that may support trichome cell wall thickening.
Computational Description
cellulose synthase 6 (CESA6); FUNCTIONS IN: cellulose synthase activity, transferase activity, transferring glycosyl groups; INVOLVED IN: in 6 processes; LOCATED IN: cortical microtubule, transverse to long axis, Golgi apparatus, cellulose synthase complex, plasma membrane, membrane; EXPRESSED IN: 25 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 15 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Cellulose synthase (InterPro:IPR005150), Zinc finger, RING-type (InterPro:IPR001841); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: cellulose synthase 5 (TAIR:AT5G09870.1); Has 1807 Blast hits to 1807 proteins in 277 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 736; Fungi - 347; Plants - 385; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 339 (source: NCBI BLink).
Encodes a putative transcription factor containing an AP2 domain. Is a member of the ERF (ethylene response factor) subfamily B-4 of ERF/AP2 transcription factor family. Expressed in response to ABA, osmotic stress, sugar stress and drought. Mutants are hypersensitive to these stresses. May be involved in regulation of ABA mediated stress response.
