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 subset of around 900 chloroplast proteins, predominantly derived from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont and with functions mostly related to metabolism, energy and transcription, is shared by the two species, and points to the existence of both conserved nucleus-encoded chlorOPlast proteins that are predominantly of prokaryotic origin, and a large fraction of taxon-specific chloropleft-targeted proteins, in flowering plants.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that knockout alleles of Yellow Seedlings 1 (YS1) in Arabidopsis lead to a virescent phenotype, which disappears by 3 weeks after germination.

Characterizing the Anaerobic Response of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by Quantitative Proteomics
TL;DR: The quantitative data confirmed proteins previously characterized as induced at the transcript level as well as identified several new proteins of unknown function induced under anaerobic conditions that could bring insights for the engineering of hydrogen-producing alga strains.

A novel isoform of glucan, water dikinase phosphorylates pre-phosphorylated alpha-glucans and is involved in starch degradation in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: Data indicate that the C-3 linked phospho-ester in starch plays a so far unnoticed specific role in the degradation of transitory starch.

Molecular mechanisms for photosynthetic carbon partitioning into storage neutral lipids in Nannochloropsis oceanica under nitrogen-depletion conditions
TL;DR: Transcriptional expression analysis revealed that the beta-1,3-glucan degradation and pyruvate dehydrogenases pathways were the main regulatory components involved in driving carbon flow to TAG synthesis, and temporal changes of lipidomes and transcripts of glycerolipid metabolism genes were indicative of possible conversion of membrane lipids to TAG, especially under an early stage of nitrogen deprivation conditions.

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.
