Papain-like cysteine proteases in Nicotiana benthamiana: gene family members and their potential implications in recombinant protein expression
This study provides comprehensive insights into the PLCP family in <i>N. benthamiana</i>, highlighting their functional significance and potential in heterologous protein expression. Our findings establish a foundation for understanding the evolution and function of <i>NbPLCPs</i>, while demonstrating their potential applications in plant biotechnology for enhancing disease resistance and improving recombinant protein production systems. These results underscore the importance of <i>PLCPs</i> in both plant physiology and biotechnological applications.
