Abstract
This entry includes a group of plant proteins, including CLAVATA3/ESR (CLE)-related protein 45 (CLE45) from Arabidopsis. CLE45 may be a suppressor of plant stem cell differentiation [ 1 ]. CLE45 is part of the CLE peptide family.
The CLE peptide family members are small proteins that contain a signalpeptide at their N-termini and conserved CLE domain(s) at their C-termini. The signal peptide is essential for secretion of the CLE peptide into the apoplastic space where it functions non-cell autonomously. They have a varietyof functions, from embryo and endosperm development to meristem maintenance, from vascular development to autoregulation of nodulation (AON) [ 2 ].
