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: A snapshot of the antenna systems in diverse green algae is provided, and it is clear that the core antenna system was well developed prior to green algal diversification and likely consisted of the CP29 and CP26 proteins associated with photosystem II plus a photosystem I antenna.

TL;DR: This comprehensive mutational analysis found that only the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine and the bulky amino acid leucine at the +1 position of the predicted signal peptidase cleavage site allow plastid import, as expected from the sequence comparison of native plastids targeting presequences of P. tricornutum and the cryptophyte Guillardia theta.

A Heteromeric Plastidic Pyruvate Kinase Complex Involved in Seed Oil Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: The identified pyruvate kinase catalyzes a crucial step in the conversion of photosynthate into oil, suggesting a preferred plastid route from its substrate phosphoenolpyruvates to fatty acids.

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.
