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/.

Mutation of FdC2 gene encoding a ferredoxin-like protein with C-terminal extension causes yellow-green leaf phenotype in rice.

TL;DR: This study isolated a yellow-green leaf mutant in rice and successfully identified FdC2 gene via map-based cloning approach, and demonstrated that mutation of this gene caused yellow- green leaf phenotype in rice.

The chloroplast sulfate transport system in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that regulation of expression of SulP2, Sbp and Sabc is specifically modulated by sulfur availability to the cells, and that Sabc protein levels in the cells increased under S-deprivation conditions, consistent with the observed induction of Sabc gene transcription.

Chloroplast DnaJ-like proteins 3 and 4 (CDJ3/4) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contain redox-active Fe-S clusters and interact with stromal HSP70B.

TL;DR: Three novel chloroplast-targeted DnaJ-like proteins CDJ3-5, which in addition to their J-domains contain bacterial-type ferredoxin domains, are identified and characterized and speculated that they might represent redox switches that act by recruiting HSP70B for the reorganization of regulatory protein complexes.

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.
