Pectin methylesterases: cell wall enzymes with important roles in plant physiology.

abstract：:Chloroplasts have a dynamic protein environment and, although proteases are presumably major contributors, the identities of these crucial regulatory proteins have only recently been revealed. There are defined proteases within each of the major chloroplast compartments: the ATP-dependent Clp and FtsH proteases in the...
