Orthocaspases are proteolytically active prokaryotic caspase homologues: the case of Microcystis aeruginosa.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 2015

Klemenčič Marina, Novinec Marko, Dolinar Marko

Abstract excerpt

Caspases are a family of cysteine-dependent proteases known to be involved in the process of programmed cell death in metazoans. Recently, cyanobacteria were also found to contain caspase-like proteins, but their existence has only been identified in silico up to now. Here, we present the first experimental characterisation of a prokaryotic caspase homologue. We have expressed the putative caspase-like gene MaOC1...
