Functional diversification of thylakoidal processing peptidases in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thylakoidal processing peptidase (TPP) is responsible for removing amino-terminal thylakoid-transfer signals from several proteins in the thylakoid lumen. Three TPP isoforms are encoded by the nuclear genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Previous studies showed that one of them termed plastidic type I

Characterization of a cDNA encoding the thylakoidal processing peptidase from Arabidopsis thaliana. Implications for the origin and catalytic mechanism of the enzyme.

We have identified and sequenced a cDNA containing a complete open reading frame for a putative 340-amino acid precursor of the thylakoidal processing peptidase from Arabidopsis thaliana. The predicted amino acid sequence of the protein includes regions highly conserved among Type I leader

Identification of cleavage sites and substrate proteins for two mitochondrial intermediate peptidases in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Most mitochondrial proteins contain an N-terminal targeting signal that is removed by specific proteases following import. In plant mitochondria, only mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP) has been characterized to date. Therefore, we sought to determine the substrates and cleavage sites of the

Yeast-based reporter assay system for identifying the requirements of intramembrane proteolysis by signal peptide peptidase of Arabidopsis thaliana

Only registered users can translate articles

Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) is an aspartic protease with two active sites, YD and GXGD in the transmembrane domain. SPP cleaves signal peptides and the released fragments play key roles in the immune system, embryo development, and protein turnover in cells. Despite SPP having an important

The Plastid and Mitochondrial Peptidase Network in Arabidopsis thaliana: A Foundation for Testing Genetic Interactions and Functions in Organellar Proteostasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plant plastids and mitochondria have dynamic proteomes. Protein homeostasis in these organelles is maintained by a proteostasis network containing protein chaperones, peptidases, and their substrate recognition factors. However, many peptidases, as well as their functional connections and

Defining the cytosolic pathway of glutathione degradation in Arabidopsis thaliana: role of the ChaC/GCG family of γ-glutamyl cyclotransferases as glutathione-degrading enzymes and AtLAP1 as the Cys-Gly peptidase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glutathione homoeostasis is critical to plant life and its adaptation to stress. The γ-glutamyl cycle of glutathione biosynthesis and degradation plays a pre-eminent role in glutathione homoeostasis. The genes encoding two enzymatic steps of glutathione degradation, the γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase

Signal peptide peptidase and its homologs in Arabidopsis thaliana--plant tissue-specific expression and distinct subcellular localization.

Only registered users can translate articles

Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) is an aspartic proteinase that hydrolyses its substrate within the plane of the cellular membrane. In vertebrates, it plays crucial roles in life processes such as differentiation, embryogenesis, cell signaling and immunological response. We first found SPP in plants.

Experimental detection of proteolytic activity in a signal peptide peptidase of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) is a multi-transmembrane aspartic protease involved in intramembrane-regulated proteolysis (RIP). RIP proteases mediate various key life events by releasing bioactive peptides from the plane of the membrane region. We have previously isolated Arabidopsis SPP

Two-step processing of AtFtsH4 precursor by mitochondrial processing peptidase in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) is a multi-transmembrane aspartic proteinase involved in regulated intramembrane proteolysis, which is implicated in fundamental life processes such as immunological response, cell signaling, tissue differentiation, and embryogenesis. In this study, we identified two

Isolation of a cDNA encoding chloroplast ferrochelatase from Arabidopsis thaliana by functional complementation of a yeast mutant.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ferrochelatase catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX to form protoheme. It is located in the mitochondria in all eukaryotes and is also found in plastids in plants. Although it has been purified from animals and microorganisms, and genes for it isolated and characterized,

Nodulin 41, a novel late nodulin of common bean with peptidase activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The legume-rhizobium symbiosis requires the formation of root nodules, specialized organs where the nitrogen fixation process takes place. Nodule development is accompanied by the induction of specific plant genes, referred to as nodulin genes. Important roles in processes such as

Chaperone-assisted Post-translational Transport of Plastidic Type I Signal Peptidase 1.

Only registered users can translate articles

Type I signal peptidase (SPase I) is an integral membrane Ser/Lys protease with one or two transmembrane domains (TMDs), cleaving transport signals off translocated precursor proteins. The catalytic domain of SPase I folds to form a hydrophobic surface and inserts into the lipid bilayers at the

A novel plant enzyme with dual activity: an atypical Nudix hydrolase and a dipeptidyl peptidase III.

Only registered users can translate articles

In a search for plant homologues of dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) family, we found a predicted protein from the moss Physcomitrella patens (UniProt entry: A9TLP4), which shared 61% sequence identity with the Arabidopsis thaliana uncharacterized protein, designated Nudix hydrolase 3. Both

Plastidic type I signal peptidase 1 is a redox-dependent thylakoidal processing peptidase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thylakoids are the photosynthetic membranes in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. The aqueous phase inside the thylakoid known as the thylakoid lumen plays an essential role in the photosynthetic electron transport. The presence and significance of thiol-disulfide exchange in this compartment have been
