#metacaspase

Bacterial plant diseases and plant proteostasis | CRAG | Centre for research in agricultural Genomics Our team is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that control the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and plants to develop sustainable strategies to prevent and fight bacterial invasions in the field. Research in the lab focuses on 2 main areas:

We are finishing the morning session on a high: Nuria Sanchez Coll is showing us a cool story that's being developed in her lab on #metacaspase proteins & #condensates. www.cragenomica.es/research-gro... #plantproteolysis2025

Seed longevity is controlled by metacaspases - Nature Communications Here, the authors have generated a metacapase type II depletion model providing evidence for their paramount role in seed longevity. They also show that this is accomplished by regulating the ERAD,…

Arabidopsis research reveals all 6 type-II #metacaspase mutations disrupt #proteostasis in seeds. Without proper CDC48 regulation, seed longevity diminishes. #SeedLongevity #NatureCommunications PMID:39117606, Nat Commun 2024, @NatureComms
