Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Proteolytic activation of cytokines regulates immunity in diverse organisms. In animals, cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases (caspases) play central roles in cytokine maturation. Although the proteolytic production of peptide cytokines is also essential for plant immunity, evidence for a plant caspase is still lacking. In this study, we discovered that proteolysis of a caspa...
