Lignins are complex aromatic heteropolymers that reinforce the cell walls of terrestrial plants. A new study identifies an ATP-binding cassette ABC transporter that pumps a monolignol lignin precursor across the plasma membrane.
木质素是复杂的芳香杂聚物,可增强陆生植物的细胞壁。一项新的研究确定了一种 ATP 结合盒 ABC 转运蛋白,该蛋白可将木质素前体 monolignol 泵过质膜。
