Function and glycosylation of plant-derived antiviral monoclonal antibody. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 100:2003;8013-8018 A human anti-rabies antibody that contains a carboxy-terminal KDEL/ER retention signal on the heavy chains is produced in tobacco plants. This antibody contains mainly high-mannose-type N-glycans. The authors discuss the advantage of the shorter half-life of this type of plant-made antibody (which is caused by the presence of high-mannose-type N-glycans) in providing passive immunity against rabies.

Structural requirements for Arabidopsis beta1,2-xylosyltransferase activity and targeting to the Golgi. Plant J. 33:2003;189-203 The most typical plant glycosyltransferase, the β1,2 xylosyltransferase from A. thaliana, is analyzed in this study. The authors identified a Golgi-retention determinant that is sufficient to localize a protein specifically to the medial cisternae of Golgi. This study provides the first detailed characterization of a plant glycosyltransferase at the molecular level.

FEBS Lett. 515:2002;114-118 The authors describe the simultaneous expression of human collagen I and proline-4-hydroxylase. Their results demonstrate that it is possible to engineer the proline hydroxylation pathway to provide increased quality and conformity of recombinant collagen in plants.
