title = "Proteases in plant root symbiosis",
abstract = "Proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins/peptides inside or outside of cells. They play important roles in development and responses to environmental stresses. In arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), symbiosis-induced protease genes were found by large-scale transcriptome analyses in different plant species, suggesting that proteolytic processes are implicated in AM. In legumes, some of these were also transcriptionally activated during the root nodule symbiosis. However, the precise function of these symbiosis-induced proteases remains unknown. Here we present a compilation of the symbiosis-induced proteases identified so far and discuss their possible roles in symbiosis.",

note = "Funding Information: Naoya Takeda is a postdoctoral research fellow in Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich. He undertook a Ph.D. from Department of biotechnology in Osaka University (2005). He studied about plant biology and molecular biology at Osaka University. His first postdoctoral project was funded by German research foundation (DFG) in Germany, working with Prof. Martin Parniske in LMU Munich. Currently, he is a research fellow funded by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in the same laboratory. Major research interests are focused on AM and RNS symbiosis. He is working on the functional analysis of symbiosis-induced genes and signal transduction in plant-microbe interaction. Funding Information: This works was funded by the priority program Molecular Basics of Mycorrhizal Symbioses (MolMyk) of the German Research Foundation (DFG). Catherine Kistner was funded by a DFG postdoctoral fellowship associated with MolMyk. We thank Dr. Satoko Yoshida for many helpful discussions and the critical reading of the manuscript. ",
