Function of your Protein

My protein, legumain isoform beta, plays a very important role in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The specific function of the protein is important for the processing and maturation of the seed storage proteins within storage vacuoles and the programmed cell death and may functionally substitute for the caspases (not found in plants). To dig deeper and better understand the protein, you can see how the

Structural highlights

Looking at the secondary structure, there are 10 alpha-helices, a parallel beta-sheet, 2 anti-parallel beta-sheets, and about 7 random coils. The parallel beta-sheet is where the interaction with the ligand (citric acid) happens. The His138 amino acid residue forms an interaction at this parallel beta-sheet.
