alters the metabolism of cruciferin seed storage proteins during post-germinative growth of seedlings
Title: AtPME3, a ubiquitous cell wall pectin methylesterase of Arabidopsis thaliana, alters the metabolism of cruciferin seed storage proteins during post-germinative growth of seedlings.

Docking analysis indicated that the inhibition of AtPME3 could occur via the interaction of AtPMEI7 with a PME ligand-binding cleft structure.
Title: Tuning of Pectin Methylesterification: PECTIN METHYLESTERASE INHIBITOR 7 MODULATES THE PROCESSIVE ACTIVITY OF CO-EXPRESSED PECTIN METHYLESTERASE 3 IN A pH-DEPENDENT MANNER.

Transgenic lines overexpressing the DUF642 proteins encoded by At4g32460 and At5g11420 showed increased pectin methyl esterase 3 activity during seed germination, and improved seed germination performance.
Title: BIIDXI, the At4g32460 DUF642 gene, is involved in pectin methyl esterase regulation during Arabidopsis thaliana seed germination and plant development.

role of pectin methyl esterase and preference in wall-associated kinase-activated, EDS1/PAD4-dependent stress response in Arabidopsis
Title: Requirement for pectin methyl esterase and preference for fragmented over native pectins for wall-associated kinase-activated, EDS1/PAD4-dependent stress response in Arabidopsis.

Ectopic expression of AtPME3 causes strong Zn(2+) hypersensitivity that is tightly correlated with transcript abundance. Together these observations suggest detrimental effects on Golgi-localized processes.
Title: A mutation in the Arabidopsis thaliana cell wall biosynthesis gene pectin methylesterase 3 as well as its aberrant expression cause hypersensitivity specifically to Zn.
