	abstract = {Plant epidermal cells dedicate more than half of their lipid metabolism to the synthesis of cuticular lipids, which seal and protect the plant shoot. The cuticle is made up of a cutin polymer and waxes, diverse hydrophobic compounds including very-long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives. How such hydrophobic compounds are exported to the cuticle, especially through the hydrophilic plant cell wall, is not known. By performing a reverse genetic screen, we have identified LTPG, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored lipid transfer protein that is highly expressed in the epidermis during cuticle biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescence stems. Mutant plant lines with decreased LTPG expression had reduced wax load on the stem surface, showing that LTPG is involved either directly or indirectly in cuticular lipid deposition. In vitro 2-p-toluidinonaphthalene-6-sulfonate assays showed that recombinant LTPG has the capacity to bind to this lipid probe. LTPG was primarily localized to the plasma membrane on all faces of stem epidermal cells in the growing regions of inflorescence stems where wax is actively secreted. These data suggest that LTPG may function as a component of the cuticular lipid export machinery.},

	abstract = {The effect of mobility on N-15 chemical shift/N-15-H-1 dipolar coupling (PISEMA) solid state NMR experiments applied to macroscopically oriented beta-barrels is assessed using molecular dynamics simulation data of the NalP autotransporter domain embedded in a DMPC bilayer. In agreement with previous findings for alpha-helices, the fast librational motion of the peptide planes is found to have a considerable effect on the calculated PISEMA spectra. In addition, the dependence of the chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) and dipolar coupling parameters on the calculated spectra is evaluated specifically for the beta-barrel case. It is found that the precise choice of the value of the CSA parameters sigma(11), sigma(22) and sigma(33) has only a minor effect, whereas the choice of the CSA parameter theta shifts the position of the peaks by up to 20 ppm and changes the overall shape of the spectrum significantly. As was found for alpha-helices, the choice of the NH bond distance has a large effect on the dipolar coupling constant used for the calculations. Overall, it is found that the alternating beta-strands in the barrel occupy distinct regions of the PISEMA spectra, forming patterns which may prove useful in peak assignment.},
