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: The combined shotgun proteomics and RNA profiling approach is of high potential value to predict metabolic pathway prevalence and to define regulatory levels of gene expression on a pathway scale.

Role of Chloroplast Protein Kinase Stt7 in LHCII Phosphorylation and State Transition in Chlamydomonas
TL;DR: A chloroplast thylakoid–associated serine-threonine protein kinase, Stt7, that has homologs in land plants is identified that is required for the phosphorylation of the major light-harvesting protein (LHCII) and for state transition.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human mitochondrial RNase P is a protein enzyme that does not require a trans-acting RNA component for catalysis, and the mitochondrial enzyme turns out to be an unexpected type of patchwork enzyme, composed of a tRNA methyltransferase, a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase-family member, and a protein of hitherto unknown functional and evolutionary origin.

Protein trafficking to the plastid of Plasmodium falciparum is via the secretory pathway
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that protein targeting to the apicoplast is at least a two‐step process mediated by bipartite N‐terminal pre‐sequences that consist of a signal peptide for entry into the secretory pathway and a plant‐like transit peptides for subsequent import into the apioplast.

Silvia Schelbert,Sylvain Aubry,Bo Burla,Bo Burla,Birgit Agne,Felix Kessler,Karin Krupinska,Stefan Hörtensteiner +7 more
TL;DR: Pheophytinase (PPH), a chloroplast-located and senescence-induced hydrolase widely distributed in algae and land plants, is identified and proposed that the sequence of early chlorophyll catabolic reactions be revised.

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.
