Papain-like cysteine proteases in Carica papaya: lineage-specific gene duplication and expansion

Abstract Background Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs), a large group of cysteine proteases structurally related to papain, play important roles in plant development, senescence, and defense responses. Papain, the first cysteine protease whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallography, p...
