This study shows that NbRD21 protease regulates receptor-like kinase homeostasis in Nicotiana benthamiana by affecting their post-translational processing and endocytic recycling.

The paper introduces polychrome activity profiling using fluorescent probes to distinguish Cys proteases and their isoforms in plants by exploiting differential probe affinity.

This study shows that eliminating polyphenol oxidase in Nicotiana benthamiana improves recombinant protein yield, purity, and native-state integrity during extraction.

This study shows that silencing polyphenol oxidase in Nicotiana benthamiana reduces enzymatic browning and protein crosslinking without affecting plant growth.

The paper identifies extensive proteolytic processing of plant proteins in agroinfiltrated N. benthamiana using peptographs and mass spectrometry, revealing widespread proteoform modifications.
