Genome-wide identification and structure-function studies of proteases and protease inhibitors in Cicer arietinum (chickpea)
Genes for a significant number of proteases and protease inhibitors have been identified in chickpea. Most of them have close orthologs in Medicago truncatula and Glycine max. Although codon preference was seen for the catalytic residues but the relation is complex. A differential pattern of gene expression was observed in multiple plant tissues. The docking and molecular dynamics simulation showed chickpea protease-inhibitor molecular recognition pattern.
