A class of macromolecules known as arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), that        are present both at the outside surface of the plasma membrane and in           the cell wall space of plant cells, will be investigated.  Because AGPs         have the ability to bind carbohydrates and are localized on the surface         of the plasma membrane, they may play an important role at the membrane-        cell wall interface in terms of cellular responses.  The main objectives        of the investigation are to compare the structure of AGPs on the cell           wall with that of AGPs in plasma membrane, to study AGP interaction with        some antigens, to characterize an enzyme that destroys the carbohydrate         binding properties of plasma membrane AGPs, and to characterize the             interaction between the AGPs and the plasma membrane with those in the          cell wall.  The project will increase our knowledge about the structural        components of plasma membrane in plant cells and interaction of those           components with the cell wall.  Knowledge gained from this could                eventually lead to a better understanding of cell adhesion, water               retention, disease resistance and cell-cell recognition in plant cells.
