Cellulose synthase (CESA) complexes can be observed by live-cell imaging to move with trajectories that parallel the underlying cortical microtubules. Here we report that CESA interactive protein 1 (CSI1) is a microtubule-associated protein that bridges CESA complexes and cortical microtubules. Simultaneous in vivo imaging of CSI1, CESA complexes, and microtubules demonstrates that the association of CESA complexes and cortical microtubules is dependent on CSI1. CSI1 directly binds to microtubules as demonstrated by in vitro microtubule-binding assay.
通过活细胞成像观察到纤维素合酶 (CESA) 复合物可以沿着与基底皮层微管平行的轨迹移动。在这里,我们报告 CSI1(CESA 相互作用蛋白 1)是一种微管相关蛋白,它连接 CESA 复合物和皮层微管。CSI1、CESA 复合物和微管的同时体内成像表明,CESA 复合物与皮层微管的关联依赖于 CSI1。体外微管结合实验表明,CSI1 直接与微管结合。
