Abstract 60
Cellulose the major component of plant cell walls can be converted to bioethanol and is 61
thus highly studied In plants cellulose is produced by cellulose synthase a processive family-2 62
glycosyltransferase In plant cell walls individual β-14-glucan chains polymerized by CesA are 63
assembled into microfibrils that are frequently bundled into macrofibrils An in vitro system in 64
which cellulose is synthesized and assembled into fibrils would facilitate detailed study of this 65
process Here we report the heterologous expression and partial purification of His-tagged 66
CesA5 from Physcomitrella patens Immunoblot analysis and mass spectrometry confirmed 67
enrichment of PpCesA5 The recombinant protein was functional when reconstituted into 68
liposomes made from yeast total lipid extract The functional studies included incorporation of 69
radiolabeled Glc linkage analysis and imaging of cellulose microfibril formation using 70
transmission electron microscopy A number of microfibrils were observed either inside or on 71
the outer surface of proteoliposomes and strikingly several thinner fibrils formed ordered 72
bundles that either covered the surfaces of proteoliposomes or spawned from liposome surfaces 73
We also report this arrangement of fibrils made by proteoliposomes bearing CesA8 from hybrid 74
aspen These observations describe minimal systems of membrane-reconstituted CesAs that 75
polymerize β-14-glucan chains that coalesce to form microfibrils and higher-ordered 76
macrofibrils How these micro- and macrofibrils relate to those found in primary and secondary 77
plant cell walls is uncertain but their presence enables further study of the mechanisms that 78
govern the formation and assembly of fibrillar cellulosic structures and cell wall composites 79
during or after the polymerization process controlled by CesA proteins 80

Introduction 82
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth (Pauly and Keegstra 2008 McNamara et 83
al 2015) It consists of bundles of β-14-glucan chains typically organized as microfibrillar 84
structures It is mostly found in plants bacteria oomycetes and green algae (Fugelstad et al 85
2009 John et al 2011 Augimeri et al 2015) Cellulose is the main structural component of 86
plant cell walls and is used for several technological applications including manufacturing of 87
paper textiles and furniture (McFarlane et al 2014) In recent years cellulose has become a 88
focus of those pursuing the production of sustainable biofuels due to its potential to be converted 89
to ethanol and other compounds (Pauly and Keegstra 2008) Detailed knowledge regarding the 90
structure and function of cellulose synthases (CesAs) and the mechanisms of cellulose 91
polymerization and microfibril assembly is likely to facilitate downstream processing of 92
cellulose (Cantarel et al 2009 McNamara et al 2015) 93
A simplified in vitro system that includes levels of CesA assembly sufficient to produce 94
cellulose microfibrils would greatly facilitate the acquisition of such knowledge There are many 95
CesA genes in plants whose products exhibit complex interactions (Popper et al 2011) For 96
example Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 CesA genes that are divided into two groups by the type of 97
cell wall that they make CesA1 -2 -3 -5 -6 and -9 are involved in primary cell wall synthesis 98
(Arioli et al 1998 Cano-Delgado et al 2003 Desprez et al 2007 Persson et al 2007) and 99
CesA4 -7 and -8 are involved in secondary cell wall synthesis (Taylor et al 2000 Brown et al 100
2005 Bosca et al 2006 Mendu et al 2011 McFarlane et al 2014) These CesAs form a 101
hexameric rosette structure in the plasma membrane called Cellulose Synthase Complex (CSC) 102
and it was believed until recently that each of the six lobes have six subunit CesA proteins 103
(Kimura et al 1999 Doblin et al 2002 Cosgrove 2005 Somerville 2006) The latest 104
developments based on imaging structural and computational approaches suggest that each CSC 105
lobe possesses three CesA molecules (Newman et al 2013 Hill et al 2014 Nixon et al 2016 106
Vandavasi et al 2016) A single CSC should thus produce up to 18 single glucan chains 107
presuming that all individual CesA proteins are active synthases these chains subsequently 108
crystallize to form cellulose microfibrils that are 3-5 nm in diameter (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 109
2005 Thomas et al 2013) Higher order bundles of microfibrils are also seen in cell walls 110
(Marga et al 2005 Somerville 2006 Zhang et al 2016) 111

While assembly of CesAs and assembly of glucan chains involve different macromolecules 112
they are likely to be linked processes but the extent of linkage remains unclear One scenario is 113
that the CesA enzymes assemble into trimeric lobes and these into rosette CSCs Subsequent 114
glucan synthesis and extrusion from the organized rosette provides chains to form fibrillar 115
cellulose Alternatively CesA might assemble into trimeric lobes that each synthesize three 116
adjacent glucan chains which self-assemble into a sub-microfibril The latter further assemble 117
into complete microfibrils providing feedback onto individual lobes moving them into a rosette 118
distribution The microfibrils could then further assemble with each other and wall matrix 119
materials 120
Some clues have been garnered regarding assembly of CesA proteins The secondary 121
structure of most plant CesA proteins consists of at least 6 transmembrane helices (TMHs) that 122
anchor and separate a cytoplasmic glycosyltransferase (GT) domain from an N-terminal 123
intrinsically unfolded domain (Sethaphong et al 2013) In addition to possessing the catalytic 124
function the GT domain includes a plant conserved region (P-CR) and a class specific region 125
(CSR) (Slabaugh et al 2014) The catalytic function is provided in part by three broadly 126
conserved aspartate-containing motifs designated as DDG DCD and TED followed by a 127
conserved QXXRW motif (Saxena and Brown Jr 1997 Saxena et al 2001 Sethaphong et al 128
2013) In vitro studies have shown that the catalytic domain of rice CesA1 forms redox-sensitive 129
dimers (Olek et al 2014) and that the same region of Arabidopsis thaliana CesA1 forms redox-130
insensitive trimers (Vandavasi et al 2016) Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 131
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based low-resolution volumes of the trimer fit well to 132
averaged lobe volumes from P patens rosettes imaged by freeze-fracture TEM (Nixon et al 133
2016) A Zn2+
-binding RING domain is encoded in the N-terminal regions of CesAs which may 134
be responsible for dimerization of CesA proteins (Kurek et al 2002) 135
Superimposed on this as yet poorly defined tendency for CesA subunits to assemble is an 136
intrinsic propensity for nascent β-14-glucan chains to form microfibrils with varied packing of 137
the chains (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013) Cellulose microfibrils are 138
deposited in transverse direction with respect to the cell growth (Szymanski and Cosgrove 2009) 139
and reoriented during cell wall expansion (Baskin 2005 Anderson et al 2010) Within a 140
microfibril the cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonds and Van-der-Waals forces 141
(Nishiyama et al 2002 Nishiyama et al 2003) In nature parallel chains are packed with low 142

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325

- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Abstract 60
Cellulose the major component of plant cell walls can be converted to bioethanol and is 61
thus highly studied In plants cellulose is produced by cellulose synthase a processive family-2 62
glycosyltransferase In plant cell walls individual β-14-glucan chains polymerized by CesA are 63
assembled into microfibrils that are frequently bundled into macrofibrils An in vitro system in 64
which cellulose is synthesized and assembled into fibrils would facilitate detailed study of this 65
process Here we report the heterologous expression and partial purification of His-tagged 66
CesA5 from Physcomitrella patens Immunoblot analysis and mass spectrometry confirmed 67
enrichment of PpCesA5 The recombinant protein was functional when reconstituted into 68
liposomes made from yeast total lipid extract The functional studies included incorporation of 69
radiolabeled Glc linkage analysis and imaging of cellulose microfibril formation using 70
transmission electron microscopy A number of microfibrils were observed either inside or on 71
the outer surface of proteoliposomes and strikingly several thinner fibrils formed ordered 72
bundles that either covered the surfaces of proteoliposomes or spawned from liposome surfaces 73
We also report this arrangement of fibrils made by proteoliposomes bearing CesA8 from hybrid 74
aspen These observations describe minimal systems of membrane-reconstituted CesAs that 75
polymerize β-14-glucan chains that coalesce to form microfibrils and higher-ordered 76
macrofibrils How these micro- and macrofibrils relate to those found in primary and secondary 77
plant cell walls is uncertain but their presence enables further study of the mechanisms that 78
govern the formation and assembly of fibrillar cellulosic structures and cell wall composites 79
during or after the polymerization process controlled by CesA proteins 80

Introduction 82
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth (Pauly and Keegstra 2008 McNamara et 83
al 2015) It consists of bundles of β-14-glucan chains typically organized as microfibrillar 84
structures It is mostly found in plants bacteria oomycetes and green algae (Fugelstad et al 85
2009 John et al 2011 Augimeri et al 2015) Cellulose is the main structural component of 86
plant cell walls and is used for several technological applications including manufacturing of 87
paper textiles and furniture (McFarlane et al 2014) In recent years cellulose has become a 88
focus of those pursuing the production of sustainable biofuels due to its potential to be converted 89
to ethanol and other compounds (Pauly and Keegstra 2008) Detailed knowledge regarding the 90
structure and function of cellulose synthases (CesAs) and the mechanisms of cellulose 91
polymerization and microfibril assembly is likely to facilitate downstream processing of 92
cellulose (Cantarel et al 2009 McNamara et al 2015) 93
A simplified in vitro system that includes levels of CesA assembly sufficient to produce 94
cellulose microfibrils would greatly facilitate the acquisition of such knowledge There are many 95
CesA genes in plants whose products exhibit complex interactions (Popper et al 2011) For 96
example Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 CesA genes that are divided into two groups by the type of 97
cell wall that they make CesA1 -2 -3 -5 -6 and -9 are involved in primary cell wall synthesis 98
(Arioli et al 1998 Cano-Delgado et al 2003 Desprez et al 2007 Persson et al 2007) and 99
CesA4 -7 and -8 are involved in secondary cell wall synthesis (Taylor et al 2000 Brown et al 100
2005 Bosca et al 2006 Mendu et al 2011 McFarlane et al 2014) These CesAs form a 101
hexameric rosette structure in the plasma membrane called Cellulose Synthase Complex (CSC) 102
and it was believed until recently that each of the six lobes have six subunit CesA proteins 103
(Kimura et al 1999 Doblin et al 2002 Cosgrove 2005 Somerville 2006) The latest 104
developments based on imaging structural and computational approaches suggest that each CSC 105
lobe possesses three CesA molecules (Newman et al 2013 Hill et al 2014 Nixon et al 2016 106
Vandavasi et al 2016) A single CSC should thus produce up to 18 single glucan chains 107
presuming that all individual CesA proteins are active synthases these chains subsequently 108
crystallize to form cellulose microfibrils that are 3-5 nm in diameter (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 109
2005 Thomas et al 2013) Higher order bundles of microfibrils are also seen in cell walls 110
(Marga et al 2005 Somerville 2006 Zhang et al 2016) 111

While assembly of CesAs and assembly of glucan chains involve different macromolecules 112
they are likely to be linked processes but the extent of linkage remains unclear One scenario is 113
that the CesA enzymes assemble into trimeric lobes and these into rosette CSCs Subsequent 114
glucan synthesis and extrusion from the organized rosette provides chains to form fibrillar 115
cellulose Alternatively CesA might assemble into trimeric lobes that each synthesize three 116
adjacent glucan chains which self-assemble into a sub-microfibril The latter further assemble 117
into complete microfibrils providing feedback onto individual lobes moving them into a rosette 118
distribution The microfibrils could then further assemble with each other and wall matrix 119
materials 120
Some clues have been garnered regarding assembly of CesA proteins The secondary 121
structure of most plant CesA proteins consists of at least 6 transmembrane helices (TMHs) that 122
anchor and separate a cytoplasmic glycosyltransferase (GT) domain from an N-terminal 123
intrinsically unfolded domain (Sethaphong et al 2013) In addition to possessing the catalytic 124
function the GT domain includes a plant conserved region (P-CR) and a class specific region 125
(CSR) (Slabaugh et al 2014) The catalytic function is provided in part by three broadly 126
conserved aspartate-containing motifs designated as DDG DCD and TED followed by a 127
conserved QXXRW motif (Saxena and Brown Jr 1997 Saxena et al 2001 Sethaphong et al 128
2013) In vitro studies have shown that the catalytic domain of rice CesA1 forms redox-sensitive 129
dimers (Olek et al 2014) and that the same region of Arabidopsis thaliana CesA1 forms redox-130
insensitive trimers (Vandavasi et al 2016) Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 131
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based low-resolution volumes of the trimer fit well to 132
averaged lobe volumes from P patens rosettes imaged by freeze-fracture TEM (Nixon et al 133
2016) A Zn2+
-binding RING domain is encoded in the N-terminal regions of CesAs which may 134
be responsible for dimerization of CesA proteins (Kurek et al 2002) 135
Superimposed on this as yet poorly defined tendency for CesA subunits to assemble is an 136
intrinsic propensity for nascent β-14-glucan chains to form microfibrils with varied packing of 137
the chains (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013) Cellulose microfibrils are 138
deposited in transverse direction with respect to the cell growth (Szymanski and Cosgrove 2009) 139
and reoriented during cell wall expansion (Baskin 2005 Anderson et al 2010) Within a 140
microfibril the cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonds and Van-der-Waals forces 141
(Nishiyama et al 2002 Nishiyama et al 2003) In nature parallel chains are packed with low 142

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279

Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[

nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293

In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Abstract 60
Cellulose the major component of plant cell walls can be converted to bioethanol and is 61
thus highly studied In plants cellulose is produced by cellulose synthase a processive family-2 62
glycosyltransferase In plant cell walls individual β-14-glucan chains polymerized by CesA are 63
assembled into microfibrils that are frequently bundled into macrofibrils An in vitro system in 64
which cellulose is synthesized and assembled into fibrils would facilitate detailed study of this 65
process Here we report the heterologous expression and partial purification of His-tagged 66
CesA5 from Physcomitrella patens Immunoblot analysis and mass spectrometry confirmed 67
enrichment of PpCesA5 The recombinant protein was functional when reconstituted into 68
liposomes made from yeast total lipid extract The functional studies included incorporation of 69
radiolabeled Glc linkage analysis and imaging of cellulose microfibril formation using 70
transmission electron microscopy A number of microfibrils were observed either inside or on 71
the outer surface of proteoliposomes and strikingly several thinner fibrils formed ordered 72
bundles that either covered the surfaces of proteoliposomes or spawned from liposome surfaces 73
We also report this arrangement of fibrils made by proteoliposomes bearing CesA8 from hybrid 74
aspen These observations describe minimal systems of membrane-reconstituted CesAs that 75
polymerize β-14-glucan chains that coalesce to form microfibrils and higher-ordered 76
macrofibrils How these micro- and macrofibrils relate to those found in primary and secondary 77
plant cell walls is uncertain but their presence enables further study of the mechanisms that 78
govern the formation and assembly of fibrillar cellulosic structures and cell wall composites 79
during or after the polymerization process controlled by CesA proteins 80

Introduction 82
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth (Pauly and Keegstra 2008 McNamara et 83
al 2015) It consists of bundles of β-14-glucan chains typically organized as microfibrillar 84
structures It is mostly found in plants bacteria oomycetes and green algae (Fugelstad et al 85
2009 John et al 2011 Augimeri et al 2015) Cellulose is the main structural component of 86
plant cell walls and is used for several technological applications including manufacturing of 87
paper textiles and furniture (McFarlane et al 2014) In recent years cellulose has become a 88
focus of those pursuing the production of sustainable biofuels due to its potential to be converted 89
to ethanol and other compounds (Pauly and Keegstra 2008) Detailed knowledge regarding the 90
structure and function of cellulose synthases (CesAs) and the mechanisms of cellulose 91
polymerization and microfibril assembly is likely to facilitate downstream processing of 92
cellulose (Cantarel et al 2009 McNamara et al 2015) 93
A simplified in vitro system that includes levels of CesA assembly sufficient to produce 94
cellulose microfibrils would greatly facilitate the acquisition of such knowledge There are many 95
CesA genes in plants whose products exhibit complex interactions (Popper et al 2011) For 96
example Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 CesA genes that are divided into two groups by the type of 97
cell wall that they make CesA1 -2 -3 -5 -6 and -9 are involved in primary cell wall synthesis 98
(Arioli et al 1998 Cano-Delgado et al 2003 Desprez et al 2007 Persson et al 2007) and 99
CesA4 -7 and -8 are involved in secondary cell wall synthesis (Taylor et al 2000 Brown et al 100
2005 Bosca et al 2006 Mendu et al 2011 McFarlane et al 2014) These CesAs form a 101
hexameric rosette structure in the plasma membrane called Cellulose Synthase Complex (CSC) 102
and it was believed until recently that each of the six lobes have six subunit CesA proteins 103
(Kimura et al 1999 Doblin et al 2002 Cosgrove 2005 Somerville 2006) The latest 104
developments based on imaging structural and computational approaches suggest that each CSC 105
lobe possesses three CesA molecules (Newman et al 2013 Hill et al 2014 Nixon et al 2016 106
Vandavasi et al 2016) A single CSC should thus produce up to 18 single glucan chains 107
presuming that all individual CesA proteins are active synthases these chains subsequently 108
crystallize to form cellulose microfibrils that are 3-5 nm in diameter (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 109
2005 Thomas et al 2013) Higher order bundles of microfibrils are also seen in cell walls 110
(Marga et al 2005 Somerville 2006 Zhang et al 2016) 111

While assembly of CesAs and assembly of glucan chains involve different macromolecules 112
they are likely to be linked processes but the extent of linkage remains unclear One scenario is 113
that the CesA enzymes assemble into trimeric lobes and these into rosette CSCs Subsequent 114
glucan synthesis and extrusion from the organized rosette provides chains to form fibrillar 115
cellulose Alternatively CesA might assemble into trimeric lobes that each synthesize three 116
adjacent glucan chains which self-assemble into a sub-microfibril The latter further assemble 117
into complete microfibrils providing feedback onto individual lobes moving them into a rosette 118
distribution The microfibrils could then further assemble with each other and wall matrix 119
materials 120
Some clues have been garnered regarding assembly of CesA proteins The secondary 121
structure of most plant CesA proteins consists of at least 6 transmembrane helices (TMHs) that 122
anchor and separate a cytoplasmic glycosyltransferase (GT) domain from an N-terminal 123
intrinsically unfolded domain (Sethaphong et al 2013) In addition to possessing the catalytic 124
function the GT domain includes a plant conserved region (P-CR) and a class specific region 125
(CSR) (Slabaugh et al 2014) The catalytic function is provided in part by three broadly 126
conserved aspartate-containing motifs designated as DDG DCD and TED followed by a 127
conserved QXXRW motif (Saxena and Brown Jr 1997 Saxena et al 2001 Sethaphong et al 128
2013) In vitro studies have shown that the catalytic domain of rice CesA1 forms redox-sensitive 129
dimers (Olek et al 2014) and that the same region of Arabidopsis thaliana CesA1 forms redox-130
insensitive trimers (Vandavasi et al 2016) Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 131
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based low-resolution volumes of the trimer fit well to 132
averaged lobe volumes from P patens rosettes imaged by freeze-fracture TEM (Nixon et al 133
2016) A Zn2+
-binding RING domain is encoded in the N-terminal regions of CesAs which may 134
be responsible for dimerization of CesA proteins (Kurek et al 2002) 135
Superimposed on this as yet poorly defined tendency for CesA subunits to assemble is an 136
intrinsic propensity for nascent β-14-glucan chains to form microfibrils with varied packing of 137
the chains (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013) Cellulose microfibrils are 138
deposited in transverse direction with respect to the cell growth (Szymanski and Cosgrove 2009) 139
and reoriented during cell wall expansion (Baskin 2005 Anderson et al 2010) Within a 140
microfibril the cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonds and Van-der-Waals forces 141
(Nishiyama et al 2002 Nishiyama et al 2003) In nature parallel chains are packed with low 142

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Abstract 60
Cellulose the major component of plant cell walls can be converted to bioethanol and is 61
thus highly studied In plants cellulose is produced by cellulose synthase a processive family-2 62
glycosyltransferase In plant cell walls individual β-14-glucan chains polymerized by CesA are 63
assembled into microfibrils that are frequently bundled into macrofibrils An in vitro system in 64
which cellulose is synthesized and assembled into fibrils would facilitate detailed study of this 65
process Here we report the heterologous expression and partial purification of His-tagged 66
CesA5 from Physcomitrella patens Immunoblot analysis and mass spectrometry confirmed 67
enrichment of PpCesA5 The recombinant protein was functional when reconstituted into 68
liposomes made from yeast total lipid extract The functional studies included incorporation of 69
radiolabeled Glc linkage analysis and imaging of cellulose microfibril formation using 70
transmission electron microscopy A number of microfibrils were observed either inside or on 71
the outer surface of proteoliposomes and strikingly several thinner fibrils formed ordered 72
bundles that either covered the surfaces of proteoliposomes or spawned from liposome surfaces 73
We also report this arrangement of fibrils made by proteoliposomes bearing CesA8 from hybrid 74
aspen These observations describe minimal systems of membrane-reconstituted CesAs that 75
polymerize β-14-glucan chains that coalesce to form microfibrils and higher-ordered 76
macrofibrils How these micro- and macrofibrils relate to those found in primary and secondary 77
plant cell walls is uncertain but their presence enables further study of the mechanisms that 78
govern the formation and assembly of fibrillar cellulosic structures and cell wall composites 79
during or after the polymerization process controlled by CesA proteins 80

Introduction 82
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth (Pauly and Keegstra 2008 McNamara et 83
al 2015) It consists of bundles of β-14-glucan chains typically organized as microfibrillar 84
structures It is mostly found in plants bacteria oomycetes and green algae (Fugelstad et al 85
2009 John et al 2011 Augimeri et al 2015) Cellulose is the main structural component of 86
plant cell walls and is used for several technological applications including manufacturing of 87
paper textiles and furniture (McFarlane et al 2014) In recent years cellulose has become a 88
focus of those pursuing the production of sustainable biofuels due to its potential to be converted 89
to ethanol and other compounds (Pauly and Keegstra 2008) Detailed knowledge regarding the 90
structure and function of cellulose synthases (CesAs) and the mechanisms of cellulose 91
polymerization and microfibril assembly is likely to facilitate downstream processing of 92
cellulose (Cantarel et al 2009 McNamara et al 2015) 93
A simplified in vitro system that includes levels of CesA assembly sufficient to produce 94
cellulose microfibrils would greatly facilitate the acquisition of such knowledge There are many 95
CesA genes in plants whose products exhibit complex interactions (Popper et al 2011) For 96
example Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 CesA genes that are divided into two groups by the type of 97
cell wall that they make CesA1 -2 -3 -5 -6 and -9 are involved in primary cell wall synthesis 98
(Arioli et al 1998 Cano-Delgado et al 2003 Desprez et al 2007 Persson et al 2007) and 99
CesA4 -7 and -8 are involved in secondary cell wall synthesis (Taylor et al 2000 Brown et al 100
2005 Bosca et al 2006 Mendu et al 2011 McFarlane et al 2014) These CesAs form a 101
hexameric rosette structure in the plasma membrane called Cellulose Synthase Complex (CSC) 102
and it was believed until recently that each of the six lobes have six subunit CesA proteins 103
(Kimura et al 1999 Doblin et al 2002 Cosgrove 2005 Somerville 2006) The latest 104
developments based on imaging structural and computational approaches suggest that each CSC 105
lobe possesses three CesA molecules (Newman et al 2013 Hill et al 2014 Nixon et al 2016 106
Vandavasi et al 2016) A single CSC should thus produce up to 18 single glucan chains 107
presuming that all individual CesA proteins are active synthases these chains subsequently 108
crystallize to form cellulose microfibrils that are 3-5 nm in diameter (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 109
2005 Thomas et al 2013) Higher order bundles of microfibrils are also seen in cell walls 110
(Marga et al 2005 Somerville 2006 Zhang et al 2016) 111

While assembly of CesAs and assembly of glucan chains involve different macromolecules 112
they are likely to be linked processes but the extent of linkage remains unclear One scenario is 113
that the CesA enzymes assemble into trimeric lobes and these into rosette CSCs Subsequent 114
glucan synthesis and extrusion from the organized rosette provides chains to form fibrillar 115
cellulose Alternatively CesA might assemble into trimeric lobes that each synthesize three 116
adjacent glucan chains which self-assemble into a sub-microfibril The latter further assemble 117
into complete microfibrils providing feedback onto individual lobes moving them into a rosette 118
distribution The microfibrils could then further assemble with each other and wall matrix 119
materials 120
Some clues have been garnered regarding assembly of CesA proteins The secondary 121
structure of most plant CesA proteins consists of at least 6 transmembrane helices (TMHs) that 122
anchor and separate a cytoplasmic glycosyltransferase (GT) domain from an N-terminal 123
intrinsically unfolded domain (Sethaphong et al 2013) In addition to possessing the catalytic 124
function the GT domain includes a plant conserved region (P-CR) and a class specific region 125
(CSR) (Slabaugh et al 2014) The catalytic function is provided in part by three broadly 126
conserved aspartate-containing motifs designated as DDG DCD and TED followed by a 127
conserved QXXRW motif (Saxena and Brown Jr 1997 Saxena et al 2001 Sethaphong et al 128
2013) In vitro studies have shown that the catalytic domain of rice CesA1 forms redox-sensitive 129
dimers (Olek et al 2014) and that the same region of Arabidopsis thaliana CesA1 forms redox-130
insensitive trimers (Vandavasi et al 2016) Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 131
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based low-resolution volumes of the trimer fit well to 132
averaged lobe volumes from P patens rosettes imaged by freeze-fracture TEM (Nixon et al 133
2016) A Zn2+
-binding RING domain is encoded in the N-terminal regions of CesAs which may 134
be responsible for dimerization of CesA proteins (Kurek et al 2002) 135
Superimposed on this as yet poorly defined tendency for CesA subunits to assemble is an 136
intrinsic propensity for nascent β-14-glucan chains to form microfibrils with varied packing of 137
the chains (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013) Cellulose microfibrils are 138
deposited in transverse direction with respect to the cell growth (Szymanski and Cosgrove 2009) 139
and reoriented during cell wall expansion (Baskin 2005 Anderson et al 2010) Within a 140
microfibril the cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonds and Van-der-Waals forces 141
(Nishiyama et al 2002 Nishiyama et al 2003) In nature parallel chains are packed with low 142

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Introduction 82
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth (Pauly and Keegstra 2008 McNamara et 83
al 2015) It consists of bundles of β-14-glucan chains typically organized as microfibrillar 84
structures It is mostly found in plants bacteria oomycetes and green algae (Fugelstad et al 85
2009 John et al 2011 Augimeri et al 2015) Cellulose is the main structural component of 86
plant cell walls and is used for several technological applications including manufacturing of 87
paper textiles and furniture (McFarlane et al 2014) In recent years cellulose has become a 88
focus of those pursuing the production of sustainable biofuels due to its potential to be converted 89
to ethanol and other compounds (Pauly and Keegstra 2008) Detailed knowledge regarding the 90
structure and function of cellulose synthases (CesAs) and the mechanisms of cellulose 91
polymerization and microfibril assembly is likely to facilitate downstream processing of 92
cellulose (Cantarel et al 2009 McNamara et al 2015) 93
A simplified in vitro system that includes levels of CesA assembly sufficient to produce 94
cellulose microfibrils would greatly facilitate the acquisition of such knowledge There are many 95
CesA genes in plants whose products exhibit complex interactions (Popper et al 2011) For 96
example Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 CesA genes that are divided into two groups by the type of 97
cell wall that they make CesA1 -2 -3 -5 -6 and -9 are involved in primary cell wall synthesis 98
(Arioli et al 1998 Cano-Delgado et al 2003 Desprez et al 2007 Persson et al 2007) and 99
CesA4 -7 and -8 are involved in secondary cell wall synthesis (Taylor et al 2000 Brown et al 100
2005 Bosca et al 2006 Mendu et al 2011 McFarlane et al 2014) These CesAs form a 101
hexameric rosette structure in the plasma membrane called Cellulose Synthase Complex (CSC) 102
and it was believed until recently that each of the six lobes have six subunit CesA proteins 103
(Kimura et al 1999 Doblin et al 2002 Cosgrove 2005 Somerville 2006) The latest 104
developments based on imaging structural and computational approaches suggest that each CSC 105
lobe possesses three CesA molecules (Newman et al 2013 Hill et al 2014 Nixon et al 2016 106
Vandavasi et al 2016) A single CSC should thus produce up to 18 single glucan chains 107
presuming that all individual CesA proteins are active synthases these chains subsequently 108
crystallize to form cellulose microfibrils that are 3-5 nm in diameter (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 109
2005 Thomas et al 2013) Higher order bundles of microfibrils are also seen in cell walls 110
(Marga et al 2005 Somerville 2006 Zhang et al 2016) 111

While assembly of CesAs and assembly of glucan chains involve different macromolecules 112
they are likely to be linked processes but the extent of linkage remains unclear One scenario is 113
that the CesA enzymes assemble into trimeric lobes and these into rosette CSCs Subsequent 114
glucan synthesis and extrusion from the organized rosette provides chains to form fibrillar 115
cellulose Alternatively CesA might assemble into trimeric lobes that each synthesize three 116
adjacent glucan chains which self-assemble into a sub-microfibril The latter further assemble 117
into complete microfibrils providing feedback onto individual lobes moving them into a rosette 118
distribution The microfibrils could then further assemble with each other and wall matrix 119
materials 120
Some clues have been garnered regarding assembly of CesA proteins The secondary 121
structure of most plant CesA proteins consists of at least 6 transmembrane helices (TMHs) that 122
anchor and separate a cytoplasmic glycosyltransferase (GT) domain from an N-terminal 123
intrinsically unfolded domain (Sethaphong et al 2013) In addition to possessing the catalytic 124
function the GT domain includes a plant conserved region (P-CR) and a class specific region 125
(CSR) (Slabaugh et al 2014) The catalytic function is provided in part by three broadly 126
conserved aspartate-containing motifs designated as DDG DCD and TED followed by a 127
conserved QXXRW motif (Saxena and Brown Jr 1997 Saxena et al 2001 Sethaphong et al 128
2013) In vitro studies have shown that the catalytic domain of rice CesA1 forms redox-sensitive 129
dimers (Olek et al 2014) and that the same region of Arabidopsis thaliana CesA1 forms redox-130
insensitive trimers (Vandavasi et al 2016) Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 131
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based low-resolution volumes of the trimer fit well to 132
averaged lobe volumes from P patens rosettes imaged by freeze-fracture TEM (Nixon et al 133
2016) A Zn2+
-binding RING domain is encoded in the N-terminal regions of CesAs which may 134
be responsible for dimerization of CesA proteins (Kurek et al 2002) 135
Superimposed on this as yet poorly defined tendency for CesA subunits to assemble is an 136
intrinsic propensity for nascent β-14-glucan chains to form microfibrils with varied packing of 137
the chains (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013) Cellulose microfibrils are 138
deposited in transverse direction with respect to the cell growth (Szymanski and Cosgrove 2009) 139
and reoriented during cell wall expansion (Baskin 2005 Anderson et al 2010) Within a 140
microfibril the cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonds and Van-der-Waals forces 141
(Nishiyama et al 2002 Nishiyama et al 2003) In nature parallel chains are packed with low 142

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

While assembly of CesAs and assembly of glucan chains involve different macromolecules 112
they are likely to be linked processes but the extent of linkage remains unclear One scenario is 113
that the CesA enzymes assemble into trimeric lobes and these into rosette CSCs Subsequent 114
glucan synthesis and extrusion from the organized rosette provides chains to form fibrillar 115
cellulose Alternatively CesA might assemble into trimeric lobes that each synthesize three 116
adjacent glucan chains which self-assemble into a sub-microfibril The latter further assemble 117
into complete microfibrils providing feedback onto individual lobes moving them into a rosette 118
distribution The microfibrils could then further assemble with each other and wall matrix 119
materials 120
Some clues have been garnered regarding assembly of CesA proteins The secondary 121
structure of most plant CesA proteins consists of at least 6 transmembrane helices (TMHs) that 122
anchor and separate a cytoplasmic glycosyltransferase (GT) domain from an N-terminal 123
intrinsically unfolded domain (Sethaphong et al 2013) In addition to possessing the catalytic 124
function the GT domain includes a plant conserved region (P-CR) and a class specific region 125
(CSR) (Slabaugh et al 2014) The catalytic function is provided in part by three broadly 126
conserved aspartate-containing motifs designated as DDG DCD and TED followed by a 127
conserved QXXRW motif (Saxena and Brown Jr 1997 Saxena et al 2001 Sethaphong et al 128
2013) In vitro studies have shown that the catalytic domain of rice CesA1 forms redox-sensitive 129
dimers (Olek et al 2014) and that the same region of Arabidopsis thaliana CesA1 forms redox-130
insensitive trimers (Vandavasi et al 2016) Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 131
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based low-resolution volumes of the trimer fit well to 132
averaged lobe volumes from P patens rosettes imaged by freeze-fracture TEM (Nixon et al 133
2016) A Zn2+
-binding RING domain is encoded in the N-terminal regions of CesAs which may 134
be responsible for dimerization of CesA proteins (Kurek et al 2002) 135
Superimposed on this as yet poorly defined tendency for CesA subunits to assemble is an 136
intrinsic propensity for nascent β-14-glucan chains to form microfibrils with varied packing of 137
the chains (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013) Cellulose microfibrils are 138
deposited in transverse direction with respect to the cell growth (Szymanski and Cosgrove 2009) 139
and reoriented during cell wall expansion (Baskin 2005 Anderson et al 2010) Within a 140
microfibril the cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonds and Van-der-Waals forces 141
(Nishiyama et al 2002 Nishiyama et al 2003) In nature parallel chains are packed with low 142

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199

PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[

material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

order hence called lsquoamorphousrsquo or with high order as found in crystalline cellulose Because 143
individual β-glucan chains are synthesized as a flat ribbon with 180-degree flipping of the 144
orientation of successive glucose monomers it is possible to pack them in crystalline sheets with 145
the lateral register of the lsquouprsquo or lsquodownrsquo glucose moieties in adjacent chains in different ways 146
giving rise to the Iα and Iβ crystalline forms The Iα form is mostly found in bacterial and algal 147
cellulose and the Iβ form in higher plants and tunicate animals (Atalla and Vanderhart 1984 148
Belton et al 1989) A single microfibril may contain a mixture of these forms and interactions 149
between microfibrils contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of cellulose The 150
parallel alignment of glucan chains is consistent with simultaneous synthesis of cellulose chains 151
in CSCs (Somerville 2006) It is not known if CesA facilitates the close placement of cellulose 152
chains to enable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions if the close distance between 153
nascent glucan chains is sufficient to induce the formation of the higher order cellulose 154
microfibrils or if other protein(s) is(are) required for this assembly (Somerville 2006) 155
Recent work demonstrated that a single CesA isoform (CesA8 from hybrid aspen PttCesA8) 156
synthesizes cellulose in vitro and packs it into fibrils observable by TEM (Purushotham et al 157
2016) (Purushotham et al 2016) PttCesA8 contributes to the formation of secondary cell walls 158
Here we report similar synthesis of cellulose microfibrils by reconstituted CesA5 of 159
Physcomitrella patens (PpCesA5) which is involved in primary cell wall formation (Goss et al 160
2012) Previously we had shown that overexpression of PpCesA5 in P patens itself yielded 161
partially purified protein that synthesized cellulose microfibrils but the presence of other CesA 162
isoforms and accessory proteins could not be ruled out (Cho et al 2015) Now we eliminate the 163
possible presence of additional isoforms and other proteins by purifying heterologously 164
expressed PpCesA5 from Pichia pastoris and reconstituting it into proteoliposomes 165
Reconstituted PpCesA5 produced cellulose microfibrils demonstrated by incorporation of 166
radioactive Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc cellulase specific degradation TEM analysis and linkage 167
analysis Furthermore TEM analysis identified cellulose microfibrils within and on the surface 168
of proteoliposomes bearing PpCesA5 or PttCesA8 These microfibrils coalesced into higher 169
order lsquomacrofibrilsrsquo These results confirm that single isoforms of CesAs for primary and 170
secondary cell wall synthesis are sufficient to produce cellulose microfibrils and suggest that 171
glucan chains can form higher order cellulose structures by self-assembly without the need for 172
accessory proteins 173

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Heterologous expression and purification of PpCesA5 177
PpCesA5 is predicted to have 7 transmembrane domains an N-terminal Zn-binding domain 178
and a long cytosolic region between the second and the third transmembrane helices 179
(Supplemental Fig S1) The cytosolic region contains P-CR and CSR regions as well as a TED 180
motif the latter believed to deprotonate the acceptor hydroxyl via its aspartic acid residue 181
(Morgan et al 2014) PpCesA5 conjugated with 12x His-tag at the C-terminus was 182
heterologously expressed in Pichia Expression in Pichia was directed by using methanol to 183
induce transcription from the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter Membrane proteins were 184
isolated and further purified with TALON (cobalt) resin PpCesA5 proteins were co-purified 185
with other membrane proteins as shown by immunoblot using anti-PpCesA5 antibody 1 (Lanes 186
1-3 Fig 1) The final elution fraction contained a highly enriched PpCesA5 protein of ~125 kDa 187
(Lane 9 Fig 1) Two other PpCesA5 specific antibodies 2 and 3 also detected similar band 188
patterns whereas anti-His antibody identified an additional band at around 55 kDa 189
(Supplemental Fig S2) While the epitopes of the PpCesA5 specific antibodies were in the 190
cytosolic domain (Supplemental Fig S1) the His-tag was at the C-terminus suggesting that the 191
N-terminal region is more prone to degradation Similarly heterologously expressed PttCesA8 192
also showed N-terminal degradation that was speculated to be due to conformational flexibility 193
or loose association of the N-terminal RING finger region (Purushotham et al 2016) 194
To further confirm that PpCesA5 was enriched proteins in the region between 110-140 kDa 195
were excised from an SDS-PAGE gel and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) Three peptides 196
of PpCesA5 including 444VQPTFVK450 538AGAMNALVR546 and 808GSAPINLSDR817 were 197
identified together with fragments of 18 proteins from Pichia including the catalytic subunit of 198
β-13-glucan synthase (Supplemental Table S1) 199
200
PpCesA5 is functional when reconstituted in proteoliposomes 201
Since CesA proteins are integral membrane proteins the enriched PpCesA5 was 202
reconstituted into proteoliposomes using total lipid extract from yeast These proteoliposomes 203
were then subjected to biochemical characterization using radiolabeled UDP-[3H]Glc as a tracer 204

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

followed by detergent disruption and descending paper chromatography (Fig 2) as described 205
(Omadjela et al 2013 Purushotham et al 2016) Radiolabeled glucose was incorporated into 206
insoluble material as shown by radioactivity that failed to leave the origin indicating that 207
PpCesA5s in proteoliposomes were functional 208
CesA proteins require cations as cofactors for function Activity of PpCesA5 209
proteoliposomes was tested with different cations including Ca2+
Mg2+
Mn2+
and Zn2+
We 210
found that Mn2+
was most effective and that Zn2+
in combination with Mn2+
appeared to have no 211
synergistic effect (Fig 2A) These results were consistent with those from PttCesA8 212
(Purushotham et al 2016) Mn2+
alone was used in all subsequent tests 213
The incorporation of radiolabeled Glc from UDP-[3H]-Glc into synthesized product was 214
monitored over time (Fig 2B) The radioactive signal reached saturation at 150 min which 215
might be due to the depletion of substrate loss of protein activity or product inhibition In 216
contrast it took 90 min for PttCesA8 to reach a plateau (Purushotham et al 2016) Enzyme 217
kinetics assays were conducted using a constant level of UDP-[3H]-Glc with variation of UDP-218
Glc concentration These assays show monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics with KM = 137 219
(102 - 179) microM (Fig 2C 95 confidence interval in parenthesis) 220
To confirm that the in vitro product contained cellulose it was treated with β-14-glucanse 221
solubilizing 73 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) The enriched preparation of PpCesA5 222
contained other proteins from Pichia that were present in the 110-140 kDa region of an SDS-223
PAGE gel (Supplemental Table S1) including the catalytic subunit of β-13-D-glucan synthase 224
(callose synthase) To examine potential contribution of callose synthase to the incorporated 225
radioactive product signal in vitro products were subjected to treatment with β-13-glucanase 226
solubilzing 27 of the radiolabeled product (Fig 2D) 227
To further confirm that the observed signal resulted from PpCesA5 activity we introduced 228
amino acid substitution D782N of the catalytically crucial TED motif of PpCesA5 (Supplemental 229
Fig S3) The analogous substitution inactivated PttCesA8 (Purushotham et al 2016) As evident 230
in immuno-blots PpCesA5(D782N) was sensitive to proteolysis Proteoliposomes prepared as 231
for the wildtype PpCesA5 showed no capacity to incorporate [3H]-Glc (Supplemental Fig S3) 232

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

In vitro-produced glucan chains assemble into cellulose microfibrils 234
β-14-D-glucan chains produced from CesAs form microfibrils and these are sometimes 235
bundled into larger arrays To determine if β-14-glucan chains produced by PpCesA5 236
proteoliposomes form microfibrils or higher order bundles proteoliposomes that had been 237
incubated with UDP-Glc were examined over time by TEM (Fig 3) Individual glucan chains are 238
too small to be seen with this method but microfibrils are large enough and they were first 239
observed within 5 min of incubation with UDP-Glc The initial amount of microfibrils increased 240
upon incubation for 60 and 180 min There were no microfibrils formed in a negative control 241
reaction lacking UDP-Glc nor any jagged-edge fibrils as reported for callose (Him et al 2001) 242
Repeated experiments with the TED mutant protein PpCesA5(D782N) yielded no observable 243
microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S5) Pre-treatment of proteoliposomes bearing wild-type 244
PpCesA5 with Triton X-100 caused them to fail to yield microfibrils (Supplemental Fig S6) 245
Also the addition of Zn2+
to PpCesA5-proteoliposomes had no effect on the level of microfibril 246
formation (Supplemental Fig S7) The thickness of microfibrils made by PpCesA5 was 247
estimated by cryo-TEM and found to be 43plusmn08 nm (Supplemental Fig S8) Most microfibrils 248
disappeared after 15 min of incubation with cellulase while a negative control without cellulase 249
showed no loss of microfibrils (Fig 4) 250
To further confirm that the fibrils were cellulose microfibrils with 14-glucose linkage a 251
glycosidic linkage analysis was performed by permethylation followed by gas chromatography 252
coupled to electron-impact mass spectrometry (GCEI-MS) In vitro products from a large scale 253
reaction were pretreated with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase to remove Pichia-derived 254
glycogen-like α-14-glucan chains Thereafter the sample was permethylated to alditol acetates 255
and then subjected to GCEI-MS analysis Comparison with reference peaks confirmed that the 256
sample mainly contained 14-D-glucose with no 13-D-glucose being observed (Fig 5 257
Supplemental Fig S9A) The sample also contained a small level of terminal glucose as further 258
identified by electron-impact mass spectrometry (Supplemental Fig S9B) Analogously treated 259
material that was produced by proteoliposomes bearing the inactive PpCesA5(D782N) showed 260
no 14-D-glucose (Supplemental Fig S10A) However 14-D-glucose was present prior to 261
eliminating α-14-glucans with amylase (Supplemental Fig S10B) 262

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[
3H]-Glc into insoluble 291
material that was sensitive to cellulase the presence of cellulose-like fibers with diameters of 43 292
nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293
in the in vitro product confirm the synthesis of cellulose microfibrilsiv
In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Higher order self-assembly of cellulose microfibrils 264
It is known that cellulose microfibrils are often bundled into larger fibrils in plant cell walls 265
To observe possible higher order assembly that might reflect a bundling process in the PpCesA5 266
and PttCesA8proteoliposome systems we thoroughly explored negatively stained TEM grids 267
with in vitro products to find unbroken or partially broken proteoliposomes This revealed 268
cellulose microfibrils near and apparently attached to the surface of proteoliposomes with 269
PpCesA5 as if they were spawned from the proteoliposomes (Fig 6A and Fig 6B) The 270
thicknesses of such fibrils varied with thinner fibrils merging to form thicker fibrils We also 271
found PpCesA5-proteoliposomes that contained numerous cellulose microfibrils inside and a few 272
microfibrils exiting out through the membranes which also formed higher order assemblies 273
outside (Fig 6C) Some cellulose microfibrils wrapped around the proteoliposomes (Fig 6D) In 274
many images thin cellulose fibrils coalesced into higher order micro- or macrofibrils (Fig 6 275
panels C E and F) which in some cases might be considered bundles This coalescence was also 276
observed in cellulose microfibrils produced by proteoliposomes bearing PttCesA8 (Fig 7) Such 277
lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also observed in other grid areas (Fig 4 panels A and G marked by 278
arrowheads) In total the area of lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils accounted for 36-43 of the 279
microfibrillar area in each image These lsquobundledrsquo microfibrils were also eliminated by cellulase 280
digestion prior to imaging (Fig 4H) indicating that they were cellulose microfibrils 281
282
Discussion 283
In this study proteoliposomes bearing single isoforms of CesAs known to synthesize primary 284
cell walls was able to synthesize β-14-glucan chains that were assembled into cellulose 285
microfibrils The cellulose microfibrils were often seen to merge into higher order forms It is not 286
yet clear if these in vitro products relate to the microfibrils macrofibrils or bundles seen in plant 287
cell walls so in the following discussion we will explicitly denote the in vitro cellulose 288
assemblies with superscript lsquoivrsquo (thus microfibrilsiv
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
) 289
Both biochemical and TEM data showed the synthesis of β-14-glucan chains that 290
assembled into microfibrilsiv
Incorporation of [3H]-Glc from UDP-[

nm in negative stain and cryo TEM images and the presence of β-14-D-Glc in linkage analysis 293

In addition to the 294

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

synthesis of cellulose there was some evidence for the production of β-13-glucan chains The 295
presence of a 110-140 kDa fragment of the 220 kDa β-13-glucan synthase of Pichia and 296
observed partial digestion of in vitro synthesized insoluble polymers by β-13-glucanase are 297
consistent with callose synthesis However we observed no fibers in negative stain images that 298
had jagged edges as reported for callose and the linkage analysis showed no evidence of β-13-D-299
glucose These contradictory observations could be explained by variable presence of functional 300
Pichia β-13-glucan synthase in the PpCesA5 preparations of this study Such variation was seen 301
for preparations of PttCesA8 of hybrid aspen (Purushotham et al 2016) 302
A key aspect of our previous report on PttCesA8 and this report on PpCesA5 is that a single 303
isoform of plant CesA can alone produce β-14-glucan chains of cellulose These observations 304
force new considerations regarding the prior models of CSC composition We note that the CSC 305
is a complex of CesA proteins arranged in tightly bound lsquolobesrsquo that are more loosely contained 306
within mostly hexamers (sometimes pentamers) of lobes (Kimura et al 1999 Desprez et al 307
2007 Nixon et al 2016) Recent evidence strongly suggests that each lobe is a trimer of CesA 308
and until recently these trimers were assumed to be heterotrimers of different CesA isoforms the 309
exact isoforms depending on whether the CSC is involved in making cellulose for primary versus 310
secondary cell walls (Cosgrove 2005) The genetic redundancy has been interpreted as a way 311
plants provide differential regulation of cellulose synthesis in specific tissues and developmental 312
events (McFarlane et al 2014) The results presented here for CesA5 from the non-vascular 313
plant P patens and previously for CesA8 from the vascular plant hybrid aspen undeniably show 314
that a single isoform is capable of forming cellulose microfibrilsiv
in in-vitro systems This is 315
thus true for CesAs known for contributing in vivo to the production of primary (PpCesA5) or 316
secondary (PttCesA8) cell walls These observations of single isoforms making cellulose 317
microfibrilsiv
are consistent with reported 111 stoichiometric presence of CesA isoforms needed 318
for normal primary and secondary cell wall formation (Gonneau et al 2014 Hill et al 2014) 319
but they do raise the possibility of homomeric complexes 320
If one only considers the moss P patens it could be argued that homomeric lobes may be 321
restricted to non-vascular plants This would be reasonable because the P patensrsquo genome has 322
seven nearly identical CesA genes (Roberts and Bushoven 2007) and also has CSCs in the 323
plasma membranes similar to the rosettes seen in vascular plants (Roberts et al 2012 Nixon et 324
al 2016) Based at least in part on such observations it was predicted that a single CesA 325
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 13 -
isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved
- 14 -
microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

Image analysis 517
All image analyses were performed using ImageJ (National Institute of Health) In order to 518
measure areas occupied by microfibrils the Set Scale option was used to set the real length the 519
Polygon selection tool was used to define areas along the microfibrils and the Measure tool was 520
used to measure area Measured areas were analyzed by mean and standard error For 521
measurement of thickness of individual microfibrils the lsquoStraight Linersquo tool was used to define 522
widths and the lsquoMeasurersquo tool was used for measurement of thickness 523
524
Mass spectrometry 525
For mass spectrometry analysis partially purified protein sample was separated by SDS-526
PAGE followed by coomassie staining The gel region corresponding to 110-140 kDa was cut 527
out and incubated with 5 mM Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP)08 (wv) 528
ammonium bicarbonate at 60degC for 10 min followed by washing with 100 mM iodoacetamide 529

isoform might be able to substitute for other CesAs in the CSCs of P patens Consistent with 326
that prediction single knock-out of PpCesA6 or PpCesA7 showed no phenotype only the double 327
knock-out resulted in reduction of stem lengths (Wise et al 2011) However our concurrent 328
study of hybrid aspen PttCesA8 that was also heterologously expressed in Pichia and 329
reconstituted into proteoliposomes makes it clear that only one isoform of CesA from vascular 330
plants is sufficient to yield cellulose microfibrilsiv
(Purushotham et al 2016) In both the moss 331
and poplar studies CesA in its detergent-solubilized form failed to incorporate Glc from UDP-332
Glc into glucan chains regaining this function only when incorporated into proteoliposomes The 333
amino acid sequences of CesA proteins in hybrid aspen are diverse like those in Arabidopsis 334
(Djerbi et al 2004) Thus we propose that CesA proteins will generally need to be in a lipid 335
bilayer to adopt functional conformation(s) and that they can assemble into homotrimer as well 336
as heterotrimer lobes (the latter not yet having been demonstrated in vitro) 337
In plants the individual β-14 glucan chains made by CesA proteins are assembled into 338
microfibrils and these into macrofibrils or higher order bundles such as those noted in atomic 339
force microscopic images of onion epidermal cell walls (Zhang et al 2016) The relationship 340
between trimeric lobes in rosettes and assembly of crystalline cellulose microfibrils is not yet 341
understood It is very intriguing that we observe micro- and macrofibrilsiv
in both the CesA 342
studies including the one reported here for CesA5 and in the CesA8 studies presented earlier 343
(Purushotham et al 2016) Such microfibrils are not made by the bacterial cellulose synthase 344
BcsA-BcsB even when present at high concentrations (Purushotham et al 2016) However 345
when BscA-BcsB was immobilized on a nickel-film followed by reaction with UDP-Glc 346
fibrillar cellulose was produced (Basu et al 2016 Basu et al 2017) This suggests that close 347
proximity of cellulose synthase proteins is required and sufficient for formation of microfibrilsiv
348
and we infer that such close proximity is present in the membrane-reconstituted moss and hybrid 349
aspen synthases CesA5 and CesA8 350
The lateral dimension of an individual cellulose glucan chain is lower than 05 nm which 351
makes isolated chains invisible in negative stain TEM images As shown in Fig 6 and Fig 7 352
variably thick fibers are seen and these tend to coalesce into larger fibrils While negative stain 353
images do not give reliable size estimates these relative differences in size are clearly present 354
We think it possible that a homotrimer of CesA5 or CesA8 is capable of making an elemental 355
fibril of three glucan chains and that these can further assemble to form more typical 356
wwwplantphysiolorgon August 15 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382

microfibrils of about 43 to 48 nm in diameter The estimated diameter presented here from 357
cryo-TEM images is reliable given the absence of any staining and such sizes are consistent 358
with diameters reported for plant cell walls (Ha et al 1998 Cosgrove 2005 Thomas et al 2013 359
Zhang et al 2016) This raises the possibility that homotrimer lobes could be organized into 360
higher order rosettes as the microfibrilsiv
are formed It is simultaneously possible that the 361
dimerization propensity of N-terminal domains of CesA could help organize rosette formation by 362
bringing together lobes (Kurek et al 2002) Indeed truncation of N-terminal Zn2+
-binding 363
domains from PttCesA8 resulted in the formation of few or no microfibrils despite significant 364
production of β-14-glucan chains (Purushotham et al 2016) Future use of these in vitro 365
systems may reveal the membrane distributions of wild-type and mutant CesAs before during 366
and after catalysis with UDP-Glc and thus allow testing these hypotheses 367
368
Conclusions 369
PpCesA5 of the moss P patens was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia and 370
partially purified followed by reconstitution into proteoliposomes Proteoliposomes bearing 371
PpCesA5 synthesize glucan chains that assembled into higher order cellulose microfibrilsiv
and 372
macrofibrilsiv
or bundlesiv
comparable to what is seen for a vascular plant CesA We discuss how 373
formation of cellulose microfibrils from single isoforms of CesA could be attributable to close 374
proximity of CesA proteins in lipid bilayers formation of higher order complexes among CesAs 375
or a combination of that and feedback from glucan chain crystallization ndash these assembly 376
processes remain to be investigated These systems for reconstitution of functional cellulose 377
synthases in vitro serve as foundations for further studies on the synthesis of cellulose by CesA 378
proteins and the assembly of nascent glucan chains into elementary fibrils microfibrils and 379
microfibril bundles in the absence or presence of matrix polysaccharides Access to purified 380
membrane-embedded functional CesAs may also yield structures of CesA from non-vascular 381
and vascular plants 382
