TLDR
An analysis of 715 Arabidopsis thaliana sequences from SWISS‐PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome‐wide sequence data.Abstract:
We present a neural network based method (ChloroP) for identifying chloroplast transit peptides and their cleavage sites. Using cross-validation, 88% of the sequences in our homology reduced training set were correctly classified as transit peptides or nontransit peptides. This performance level is well above that of the publicly available chloroplast localization predictor PSORT. Cleavage sites are predicted using a scoring matrix derived by an automatic motif-finding algorithm. Approximately 60% of the known cleavage sites in our sequence collection were predicted to within +/-2 residues from the cleavage sites given in SWISS-PROT. An analysis of 715 Arabidopsis thaliana sequences from SWISS-PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome-wide sequence data. The ChloroP predictor is available as a web-server at http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/ChloroP/.read more

TL;DR: It is proposed that the SEX1 protein (R1) functions as an overall regulator of starch mobilization by controlling the phosphate content of starch.

TL;DR: It is shown that the FLN2 redox state changes in vivo during light/dark transitions and that this change is mediated by TRX z, which strongly suggest an important role for TRXZ and both FLNs in the regulation of PEP-dependent transcription in chloroplasts.

Arabidopsis Contains Nine Long-Chain Acyl-Coenzyme A Synthetase Genes That Participate in Fatty Acid and Glycerolipid Metabolism
TL;DR: Nine cDNAs are thought to constitute the entire LACS family in Arabidopsis, and as such, will serve as powerful tools in the study of acyl-CoA metabolism in oilseeds.

HCF152, an Arabidopsis RNA Binding Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein Involved in the Processing of Chloroplast psbB-psbT-psbH-petB-petD RNAs
TL;DR: It is found that HCF152 is an RNA binding protein that binds certain areas of the petB transcript that possibly exists in the chloroplast as a homodimer and is not associated with other proteins to form a high molecular mass complex.

Signal-CF: A subsite-coupled and window-fusing approach for predicting signal peptides
TL;DR: An automated method for predicting signal peptide sequences and their cleavage sites in eukaryotic and bacterial protein sequences is developed, called Signal-CF, which is featured by high success prediction rates with short computational time, and hence is particularly useful for the analysis of large-scale datasets.
