Detailed analysis of the expression pattern of seven legumain genes from Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. SNN revealed that it showed neither coincidences with the branches of the phylogenetic tree of legumains nor with their conventional assignment to organs. This agreed well with the fact that, so far, no functional differences could be assigned to the sequence differences reflected in the branches of the tree.

Phylogenetically distant barley legumains have a role in both seed and vegetative tissues.
TLDR
The entire barley legumain family is described and a multifunctional role was assumed for these two phylogenetically distant legumains, achieving different physiological functions in both seed and vegetative tissues.
Characterization of a male sterile related gene BcMF15 from Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis
TLDR
Bioinformatical analyses of this gene named BcMF15 showed that it encoded a protein with 103 amino acids that may be a critical molecule in the transmembrane transportation and signal transduction during microspore development and sequence prediction indicated that Bc MF15 might encode a membrane protein with a signal peptide at the N-terminus.
Genome-wide analysis of VPE family in four Gossypium species and transcriptional expression of VPEs in the upland cotton seedlings under abiotic stresses.
Vacuolar processing enzymes (VPEs) play important roles in plant development, programmed cell death, and the responsiveness to biotic and abiotic stresses. To characterize the VPEs in upland cotton…
Plant Vacuolar Processing Enzymes
TLDR
The current existing knowledge of plant VPEs, including recent developments in the field, is summarized and the future prospective areas to be investigated are highlighted to obtain a more detailed understanding of the role of V PEs in plants.
Seed-specific promoters direct gene expression in non-seed tissue.
TLDR
Expression during microsporogenesis and embryogenesis seems to be a general character of various seed protein genes.
A VPE family supporting various vacuolar functions in plants
TLDR
A VPE-deficiency abolished programmed cell death during hypersensitive response in tobacco leaves after TMV infection, which suggests that vegetative-type VPEs are involved in vacuolar-organized programmed cellDeath.
Gene coevolution and regulation lock cyclic plant defence peptides to their targets.
TLDR
It is found that the evolution and deployment of cyclotides involved their diversification to exhibit different chemical properties and expression between organs facing different defensive challenges.
Vacuolar processing enzymes in the plant life cycle.
TLDR
This review considers the importance of processing and peptide ligation by VPE in vacuolar protein maturation, and discusses VPE function in a protein degradation pathway, which has been overlooked in previous analyses.
A Vacuolar Processing Enzyme, δVPE, Is Involved in Seed Coat Formation at the Early Stage of Seed Development
TLDR
The results suggest that, at the early stage of seed development, δVPE is involved in cell death of limited cell layers, the purpose of which is to form a seed coat.
Vacuolar processing enzyme translocates to the vacuole through the autophagy pathway to induce programmed cell death
TLDR
These results are the first to suggest that VPE translocates to the cell vacuole through the autophagy pathway, leading to PCD.

Cell Ablation Reveals That Expression from the Phaseolin Promoter Is Confined to Embryogenesis and Microsporogenesis
TLDR
After fertilization of the DT-A-transformed plants with pollen from wild-type tobacco, 50% of the resulting embryos aborted at the heart stage, defining this as the earliest time for phas expression during embryogenesis, and no phas activity could be detected in bean pollen.
The families of papain- and legumain-like cysteine proteinases from embryonic axes and cotyledons of Vicia seeds: developmental patterns, intracellular localization and functions in globulin proteolysis
TLDR
Different functions in molecular maturation and mobilization of storage proteins could be attributed to the various members of the CPR families.

Expression during microsporogenesis and embryogenesis seems to be a general character of various seed protein genes.
Legumains - a family of asparagine-specific cysteine endopeptidases involved in propolypeptide processing and protein breakdown in plants
TLDR
A recently discovered family of plant and animal cysteine endopeptidases with a cleavage specificity for Asn in the P1 position of peptide bonds that seems to be the result of a co-evolution of enzyme and substrate.
Proteinase A, a storage-globulin-degrading endopeptidase of vetch (Vicia sativa L.) seeds, is not involved in early steps of storage-protein mobilization.
TLDR
The reported data do not agree with the proposed triggering role of proteinase A in storage-globulin breakdown during germination.
Purification, cDNA cloning and characterization of proteinase B, an asparagine-specific endopeptidase from germinating vetch (Vicia sativa L.) seeds.
TLDR
A strong cross-reacting protein band was found in cotyledon extracts of developing seeds, indicating the presence of a very similar enzyme during seed development, and the results of Southern-blot analyses suggested that there are at least two genes for proteinase B.
Redundant Proteolytic Mechanisms Process Seed Storage Proteins in the Absence of Seed-Type Members of the Vacuolar Processing Enzyme Family of Cysteine Proteases
TLDR
It is concluded that seed-type VPEs constitute merely one pathway for processing seed storage protein and that other proteolytic enzymes also can process storage proteins into chains capable of stable accumulation in mature seeds.
Vacuolar Processing Enzymes Are Essential for Proper Processing of Seed Storage Proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana*
TLDR
The overall results suggest that seed-type βVPE is most essential for the processing of storage proteins, and that the vegetative-type VPEs and aspartic proteinase complementβVPE activity in this processing.
Peroxisomal Copper,Zinc Superoxide Dismutase (Characterization of the Isoenzyme from Watermelon Cotyledons)
TLDR
Analysis by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of the peroxisomal CuZn-SOD incubated with 6 M guanidine-HCI indicated that this enzyme contained a noncovalently bound chromophore group that was responsible for the absorbance peak of the native enzyme at 260 nm.
