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

Surrogate biochemistry: use of Escherichia coli to identify plant cDNAs that impact metabolic engineering of carotenoid accumulation.
TL;DR: DNA sequencing and characterization of one cDNA class conferring increased carotenoid content led to the identification of maize cDNAs encoding isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase, which was found to encode the small subunit of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, a rate-controlling enzyme in starch biosynthesis that has been of interest for enhancing plant starch content.

Differential regulation of two types of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase in membrane lipid remodeling under phosphate-limited conditions in sesame plants

TL;DR: It is found that membrane lipid remodeling also takes place in sesame, which is one of the most common traditional crops grown in Asia, and the significance of the different responses to low Pi availability in sessen and Arabidopsis is discussed.
Characterisation of putative -amylases from apple (Malus domestica) and Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of new plant α-amylase-like genes from apple and Arabidopsis thaliana suggests that there are three distinct families of α- amylases in plants, and ESTs corresponding to each of the families have been identified in the gymnosperm Pinus taeda, suggesting that the three families diverged from each other prior to the angiosperm/gymnosperm split.

Arabidopsis peroxisome proteomics.
TL;DR: Alternative strategies are needed to overcome the obstacle of hard-to-obtain organellar fractions and help to close the knowledge gap between peroxisomes and other organelles and provide a full picture of the physiological pathways shared betweenorganelles.

A Transit Peptide–Like Sorting Signal at the C Terminus Directs the Bienertia sinuspersici Preprotein Receptor Toc159 to the Chloroplast Outer Membrane
TL;DR: The data show that the C terminus and the central GTPase domain represent a novel dual domain–mediated sorting mechanism that might account for the partitioning of Toc159 between the cytosol and the chloroplast envelope for preprotein recognition.

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.
