Arabidopsis metacaspase 2d is a positive mediator of cell death induced during biotic and abiotic stresses.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Jun 2011

Watanabe Naohide, Lam Eric

Abstract excerpt

Cysteine proteases such as caspases play important roles in programmed cell death (PCD) of metazoans. Plant metacaspases (MCPs), a family of cysteine proteases structurally related to caspases, have been hypothesized to be ancestors of metazoan caspases, despite their different substrate specificity. Arabidopsis thaliana contains six type II MCP genes (AtMCP2a-f). Whether and how these individual members are...
