According to recent research published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, "Proteinases play a critical role in developmental homeostasis and in response to environ-mental stimuli. Our present research reports that a new cysteine protease, NtCP56, is involved in the development of pollen grains in Nicotiana tabacum L. The NtCP56 gene, which encodes a protein of 361 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 40 kDa, is strongly expressed in anthers."
"The recombinant NtCP56 showed a high activity towards casein. Kinetic analysis revealed a K-m of 2.20 mg ml(-1) and V-max of 11.07 mu g ml(-1) min(-1). The recombinant NtCP56 retained more than 50% of...
