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

Cloning, characterization and structural model of a FatA-type thioesterase from sunflower seeds ( Helianthus annuus L.)
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships support the endosymbiotic theory of the origin of eukaryotic cells and the suggestion that eubacteria from the δ-subdivision were the guest cells in the symbiosis with archaea.

Coupled Effects of Light and Nitrogen Source on the Urea Cycle and Nitrogen Metabolism over a Diel Cycle in the Marine Diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the urea cycle is integrated into nitrogen metabolism through its connection to glutamine and in the eventual production of urea, which has important implications for nitrogen flow in the cell over diel cycles at surface ocean irradiances.

An Arabidopsis homologue of bacterial RecA that complements an E. coli recA deletion is targeted to plant mitochondria
TL;DR: The first report of an Arabidopsis thaliana homologue of Escherichia coli RecA that is targeted to mitochondria is provided, suggesting a possible role for mtrecA in homologous recombination and/or repair inArabidopsis mitochondria.

A RelA-SpoT homolog (Cr-RSH) identified in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii generates stringent factor in vivo and localizes to chloroplasts in vitro.
TL;DR: Results represent the first demonstration of ppGpp synthase-degradase activities in a eukaryotic organism, and they suggest that eubacterial stringent control mediated byppGpp has been conserved during evolution of the chloroplast from a photosynthetic bacterial symbiont.

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.
