Abstract

This entry includes proteins from bacteria, archaea and plants. Some proteins in this entry belong to peptidase family M50, hence they have been predicted to be metalloendopeptidases. This entry includes the chloroplastic protein EGY1/2/3 from Arabidopsis. EGY1 is an ATP‐independent metalloprotease required for development of both thylakoid grana and a well organized lamellae system in chloroplast [ 1 ].
