BERBERINE BRIDGE ENZYME-LIKE OXIDASES OF CELLODEXTRINS AND MIXED-LINKED β-GLUCANS CONTROL SEED COAT FORMATION

This paper characterizes CELLOX2, an Arabidopsis BBE-l oxidase that oxidizes cell wall-derived DAMPs, showing that its absence alters seed coat and mucilage structure without affecting monosaccharide composition.

RADICAL CATION SCAVENGING ACTIVITY OF BERBERINE BRIDGE ENZYME-LIKE OLIGOSACCHARIDE OXIDASES ACTING ON SHORT CELL WALL FRAGMENTS.

This study identifies a novel reaction mechanism of OSOXs that scavenge radical cations through oxidation of short cell wall oligosaccharides, with implications for redox homeostasis and defense against oxidative stress.

Berberine Bridge Enzyme-Like Oligosaccharide Oxidases Act As Enzymatic Transducers Between Microbial Glycoside Hydrolases And Plant Peroxidases

The paper shows OGOX1 and CELLOX oxidize plant cell wall fragments, generating H2O2 that plant peroxidases direct towards defense or developmental reactions.
