Two Arabidopsis metacaspases AtMCP1b and AtMCP2b are arginine/lysine-specific cysteine proteases and activate apoptosis-like cell death in yeast.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 15 Apr 2005

Watanabe Naohide, Lam Eric

Abstract excerpt

Metacaspases in plants, fungi, and protozoa constitute new members of a conserved superfamily of caspase-related proteases. A yeast caspase-1 protein (Yca1p), which is the single metacaspase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was shown to mediate apoptosis triggered by oxidative stress or aging in yeast. To examine whether plant metacaspase genes are functionally related to YCA1, we carried out analyses of AtMCP1b and...
