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/.

Isoflavonoid-specific prenyltransferase gene family in soybean: GmPT01, a pterocarpan 2-dimethylallyltransferase involved in glyceollin biosynthesis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that GmPT01 are possibly one of the loci involved in conferring partial resistance against stem and root rot disease in soybean and is associated with a quantitative trait loci linked with resistance to P. sojae.

AtGRP5, a vacuole-located glycine-rich protein involved in cell elongation.

TL;DR: Green fluorescent protein fusions were obtained in order to characterize the sub-cellular localization of the AtGRP5 protein, and indicated that this protein is the first described vacuolar GRP.

Generation, characterization, and heterologous expression of wild-type and up-regulated forms of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase

TL;DR: Two up-regulatory LS mutations that allosterically activate the potato enzyme, a stem isoform, were introduced into the corresponding Arabidopsis LS sequences and co-expressed with wild-type SS, indicating that these specific residue changes were also operational in the leaf isoform.

The HEAT Repeat Protein ILITYHIA is Required for Plant Immunity

TL;DR: The results show that ILA functions in immunity against bacterial infection, and this locus, previously named ILITYHIA (ILA), is required for systemic acquired resistance (SAR).

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.

SHORT COMMUNICATION Identification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic signal peptides and prediction of their cleavage sites

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for the identification of in performance compared with the weight matrix method signal peptides and their cleavage sites based on neural (Arrigo et al., 1991; Ladunga et al, 1991; Schneider and networks trained on separate sets of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequence.
