Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

New Cell Physiology Findings Reported from University of Georgia (Ancient Origin of Acetyltransferases Catalyzing O-acetylation of Plant Cell Wall Polysaccharides)

Article Description
Members of the domain of unknown function 231/trichome birefringence-like (TBL) family have been shown to be O-acetyltransferases catalyzing the acetylation of plant cell wall polysaccharides, including pectins, mannan, xyloglucan and xylan. However, little is known about the origin and evolution of plant cell wall polysaccharide acetyltransferases. Here, we investigated the biochemical functions of TBL homologs from Klebsormidium nitens, a representative of an early divergent class of charophyte green algae that are considered to be the closest living relatives of land plants, and Marchantia polymorpha, a liverwort that is an extant representative of an ancient lineage of land plants. The genomes of K. nitens and Marchantia polymorpha harbor two and six TBL homologs, respectively. Biochemical characterization of their recombinant proteins expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells demonstrated that the two K. nitens TBLs exhibited acetyltransferase activities acetylating the pectin homogalacturonan (HG) and hence were named KnPOAT1 and KnPOAT2. Among the six M. polymorpha TBLs, five (MpPOAT1 to 5) possessed acetyltransferase activities toward pectins and the remaining one (MpMOAT1) catalyzed 2-O- and 3-O-acetylation of mannan. While MpPOAT1,2 specifically acetylated HG, MpPOAT3,4,5 could acetylate both HG and rhamnogalacturonan-I. Consistent with the acetyltransferase activities of these TBLs, pectins isolated from K. nitens and both pectins and mannan from M. polymorpha were shown to be acetylated. These findings indicate that the TBL genes were recruited as cell wall polysaccharide O-acetyltransferases as early as in charophyte green algae with activities toward pectins and they underwent expansion and functional diversification to acetylate various cell wall polysaccharides during evolution of land plants.
