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: Results indicate that mtSSB is a functional homologue of the E. coli SSB, and that it may play a role in mitochondrial DNA recombination.

Protein networks identify novel symbiogenetic genes resulting from plastid endosymbiosis
TL;DR: This research discovered a previously hidden component of algal and plant nuclear genomes that originated from the plastid endosymbiont: symbiogenetic genes (S genes), which demonstrate the “recycling” of genetic information by photosynthetic eukaryotes to generate novel composite genes, many of which function in plastids maintenance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stay-green gene CRN1 (Co-regulated with NYE1) was found to play a crucial role in chlorophyll degradation, and that loss of its function produces various side effects, including those on the breakdown of Ch-protein complex and the maintenance of the residual photosynthetic capability during leaf senescence.

Structure, circadian regulation and bioinformatic analysis of the unique sigma factor gene in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
TL;DR: Regulation of RPODexpression contributes to the circadian clock’s control of chloroplast transcription, and southern blot hybridization and BLAST searches of the genome and EST databases suggest that RPOD may be the only sigma factor gene in C. reinhardtii.

TL;DR: It is concluded that KEAs were involved in chloroplast development and played important roles in drought tolerance, and AM1 was highly expressed in leaves, while lowly in roots.

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.
