Activity profiling of papain-like cysteine proteases in plants.
Transcriptomic and proteomic technologies are generating a wealth of data that are frequently used by scientists to predict the function of proteins based on their expression or presence. However, activity of many proteins, such as transcription factors, kinases, and proteases, depends on posttranslational modifications that frequently are not detected by these technologies. Therefore, to monit...
متن کاملCaspase-like activity in the seedlings of Pisum sativum eliminates weaker shoots during early vegetative development by induction of cell death.
Activation of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases (caspases) plays a crucial role in programmed cell death (PCD) in animals. Although to date caspases have not been identified in plants, caspase-like activity was described in tobacco during a hypersensitive response to pathogens and in Arabidopsis and tomato cell cultures during chemical-induced PCD. Caspase-like activity was also detected in...
متن کاملProteolytic Pathways Induced by Herbicides That Inhibit Amino Acid Biosynthesis
BACKGROUND The herbicides glyphosate (Gly) and imazamox (Imx) inhibit the biosynthesis of aromatic and branched-chain amino acids, respectively. Although these herbicides inhibit different pathways, they have been reported to show several common physiological effects in their modes of action, such as increasing free amino acid contents and decreasing soluble protein contents. To investigate pro...
متن کاملHigh throughput substrate specificity profiling of serine and cysteine proteases using solution-phase fluorogenic peptide microarrays.
Proteases regulate numerous biological processes with a degree of specificity often dictated by the amino acid sequence of the substrate cleavage site. To map protease/substrate interactions, a 722-member library of fluorogenic protease substrates of the general format Ac-Ala-X-X-(Arg/Lys)-coumarin was synthesized (X=all natural amino acids except cysteine) and microarrayed with fluorescent cal...
متن کاملSubclassification and biochemical analysis of plant papain-like cysteine proteases displays subfamily-specific characteristics.
Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) are a large class of proteolytic enzymes associated with development, immunity, and senescence. Although many properties have been described for individual proteases, the distribution of these characteristics has not been studied collectively. Here, we analyzed 723 plant PLCPs and classify them into nine subfamilies that are present throughout the plant ki...
