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/.

Transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis of an EPA-containing Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12 in response to nitrogen deprivation

TL;DR: Comparison of transcriptomic and lipidomic analyses of cells under ND and NR conditions indicated that TAG accumulation is attributed to the modification of membrane lipids derived primarily from “prokaryotic” pathway and secondarily from "eukaryotic" pathway based on the 16:X or 18:X fatty acid at the sn2 position of the glycerol backbone.

Functional diversification of thylakoidal processing peptidases in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is shown that the three A. thaliana TPP isoforms evolved to acquire diverse functions, and that neither of the Plsp2 isoforms is necessary for proper thylakoid development in photosynthetic tissues.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Genes Involved in the Biosynthesis of Caffeoylquinic Acids in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).

TL;DR: The results increase understanding of CQA biosynthesis in sunflower sprouts and could be exploited by plant breeders to enhance accumulation of health-promoting CQAs in these plants.

Conserved Dynamics of Chloroplast Cytoskeletal FtsZ Proteins Across Photosynthetic Lineages.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the evolution of a second FtsZ that could copolymerize with the more ancestral form to enhance Ftsz-ring dynamics may have been essential for plastid evolution in the green and red photosynthetic lineages.

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.
