Caspases are restricted to animals, while other organisms, including plants, possess metacaspases (MCAs), a more ancient and broader class of structurally related yet biochemically distinct proteases. Our current understanding plant MCAs is derived from studies in streptophytes, mostly Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) with 9 partially redundant activities. In contrast most chlorophytes contain only 1 or 2 uncharacterized MCAs, providing an excellent platform for MCA research. Here we...
