Arabidopsis Type I Metacaspases Control Cell Death

Coll, Nuria S., Vercammen, Dominique, Smidler, Andrea, Clover, Charles, Van Breusegem, Frank, Dangl, Jeffery L., Epple, Petra·2010·Science

Abstract

The Yin and Yang of Plant Caspases: The function of plant metacaspases, identified by limited sequence homology to the animal caspases that control cell death, has remained elusive. Coll et al. (p. 1393 ) have now elucidated the actions of two metacaspases in the small plant Arabidopsis . One metacaspase, AtMC1, promoted cell death, and the other, AtMC2, acted antagonistically to stall cell death. The results help to elucidate the mechanisms by which plants control cell survival during development and defend against pathogen attack.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
