Evolutionary Diversity and Function of Metacaspases in Plants: Similar to but Not Caspases

21 Apr 2022

Abstract excerpt

Caspase is a well-studied metazoan protease involved in programmed cell death and immunity in animals. Obviously, homologues of caspases with evolutionarily similar sequences and functions should exist in plants, and yet, they do not exist in plants. Plants contain structural homologues of caspases called metacaspases, which differ from animal caspases in a rather distinct way. Metacaspases, a family of cysteine...
