The invention relates to a novel class of metacaspases. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of metacaspases, preferably plant metacaspases to process a protein at a cleavage site comprising an arginine or a lysine at the P1 position, and to the use of such metacaspases to modulate cell death.
本发明涉及一类新型元天冬酶。更具体地说,本发明涉及利用元天冬酶(最好是植物元天冬酶)在包含 P1 位精
氨酸或赖
氨酸的裂解位点上处理蛋白质,以及利用这类元天冬酶调节
细胞死亡。
