| Abstract | Peptidases occur naturally in all organisms and their genes comprise 1–5% of the total number of genes. Genetic, biochemical, and molecular approaches used in recent years led to the identification and characterization of several plant organelle proteases, all of them being homologous to bacterial proteases best characterized in Escherichia coli. Here we report isolating and characterizing three novel genes, namely Sszn-mp1, Sszn-mp2, and SsZn-mp3 from Solanum surattense. To identify the subcellular location, structures, and functions of these three genes, integrated genomic approaches of data mining, expression profiling, and bioinformatic predictions were used. Sszn-mp is found to be constitutively expressed in tissues and regulated by various stimuli. Analysis of eight zinc-metalloproteases (Zn-MPs) deduced or assembled from Arabidopsis thaliana, tomato, potato, cotton, barley, sugarcane, and rice and four Zn-MPs from cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in the GenBank database reveals that these proteins belong to a novel conserved membrane zinc-metalloprotease family. The plant Zn-MP members share more than 62% overall identity with SsZn-MP3, whereas four putative ATP-dependent zinc-proteases of cyanobacteria have low identity with SsZn-MP3 and their N-termini are about 110 amino acids shorter than those of plant Zn-MPs. The Zn-MP homologous sequences are found neither in other eukaryotic nor prokaryotic databases, suggesting that this family is specific to plants and cyanobacteria. The plant Zn-MP genes encoding membrane proteins are potentially targeted to chloroplast and plasma membranes, and the bacterial Zn-MPs are targeted to the cytoplasmic membrane, and their N-terminal targeting peptides are cleaved off for targeting the mature proteins to their subcellular compartments. The Zn-MP proteins contain a conserved zinc-binding site (HEAGHX19E/DX46∼48EX7E), a potential G-protein coupled receptors family 1 signature, and a triplet motif (N-R/K-F) in plant Zn-MPs, a D/E-R-Y motif in the four bacterial Zn-MPs, suggesting that the different mature forms of Zn-MPs may function as proteases and/or signal receptors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
