encodes a protein similar to UDP-glucuronic acid decarboxylase. UDP-glucuronic acid decarboxylase produces UDP-xylose, which is a substrate for many cell wall carbohydrates including hemicellulose and pectin. UDP-xylose is also known to feedback regulate several cell wall biosynthetic enzymes.
Computational Description
UDP-xylose synthase 4 (UXS4); FUNCTIONS IN: UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase activity, catalytic activity; INVOLVED IN: nucleotide-sugar metabolic process, D-xylose metabolic process; LOCATED IN: Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, vacuole, membrane; EXPRESSED IN: cotyledon, male gametophyte, cultured cell, pollen tube, leaf; EXPRESSED DURING: L mature pollen stage, M germinated pollen stage; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase (InterPro:IPR001509), NAD(P)-binding domain (InterPro:IPR016040); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-fold superfamily protein (TAIR:AT3G62830.2); Has 44652 Blast hits to 44610 proteins in 2978 species: Archae - 851; Bacteria - 26010; Metazoa - 746; Fungi - 333; Plants - 1297; Viruses - 49; Other Eukaryotes - 15366 (source: NCBI BLink).
