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

Ty3/gypsy -like retrotransposon knockout of a 2-methyl-6-phytyl-1,4-benzoquinone methyltransferase is non-lethal, uncovers a cryptic paralogous mutation, and produces novel tocopherol (vitamin E) profiles in sunflower
TL;DR: The double mutant (m m d d) was non-lethal and produced 24–45% α- and 55–74% β-tocopherol, and the MT-2 mutation profoundly affected the synthesis of tocopherols without adversely affecting the synthesisof plastoquinone crucial for normal plant growth and development.

AtAzg1 and AtAzg2 comprise a novel family of purine transporters in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: Radio‐labeled purine uptake experiments in yeast and in planta confirm the function of AtAzg1 and At Azg2 as plant adenine–guanine transporters as well as identifying other toxic nucleobase analogues.

New Putative Chloroplast Vesicle Transport Components and Cargo Proteins Revealed Using a Bioinformatics Approach: An Arabidopsis Model
TL;DR: The existence of a novel thylakoid protein pathway that is important for construction and maintenance of the photosynthetic machinery is proposed, and several additional possible components are found, supporting the notion of a fully functional vesicle transport system in chloroplasts.

Identification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic signal peptides and prediction of their cleavage sites.
TL;DR: A new method for the identification of signal peptides and their cleavage sites based on neural networks trained on separate sets of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequence that performs significantly better than previous prediction schemes and can easily be applied on genome-wide data sets.
