Abstract excerpt
Precursor protease vesicles are plant-specific compartments containing precursors of enzymes that are thought to participate in the degradation of cellular components in organs undergoing senescence. We report in vivo evidence that the precursor protease vesicle-localized vacuolar processing enzyme-gamma (VPEgamma) is critical for maturation of the plant vacuolar protease AtCPY. We also provide biochemical and...
