Vacuolar processing enzyme의 식물 조직 내에서의 기능 = Multiple Functional Roles of a Plant Vacuolar Processing Enzyme (VPE) in Plant

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most vacuolar protein precursors are converted into mature form in vacuoles Vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE) is responsible for maturation of Vacuolar protein Plant VPEs are separated into three types on their sequence homology and gene expression pattern vegetative type seed type uncharacterized type VPEs are essential for the maturation of seed storage protein Various VPE-lacking mutants are deposited non-matured seed storage protein VPE is activated in vegetative tissues during senescence and under various stressed treatments Recent studies had revealed that VPE is essential for Programmed cell death (PCD) in arabidopsis and tobacco VPE-deficient mutants inhibit hypersensitive response and lesion formation by infection VPEs play as a key molecule of various vacoule-mediated system.
